<p>Okay, here’s the updated Desh. Mechanically, very little has changed, though I switched his campaign trait given the turn his backstory took. I also like that it reinforces his “every man” feel, which I think also makes his Fate-marked angle stand out. Free skill rank goes into Profession: Soldier, for obvious reasons. The religious angle has been pulled out completely, as that's one of the main things that just felt tacked-on before. And I traited into Know: Local to reinforce his local connections even further.</p>
<p>I like this backstory and motivation WAY more. </p>

<p>Desh watches both of the mandos walk away — and ensures that neither will turn back around — before offering Jerrn's lightsaber back up to the Hutt. He nods back to the door through which the two mandos just exited, humor shading his voice. <b>"Interesting friends. Always a gamble dealing with a Mandalorian."</b> He tries to make a show of looking at where the female mando just left, seemingly unable to resist one last joke at their expense. <b>"I think the girl liked me. Maybe I met her before… forgot to call her back after a few drinks, no?"</b> As he says <i>'met her before'</i>, he taps out a quick set of staccato beats into his team's encoded commlink. The combination gives them a clear, if careful warning… <i>there may be a problem, the female may recognize me.</i></p>
<p>He switches back to the task at hand, once again hefting the jedi for emphasis. <b>"We gonna do this?

Desh watches both of the mandos walk away -- and ensures that neither will turn back around -- before offering Jerrn's lightsaber back up to the Hutt. He nods back to the door through which the two mandos just exited, humor shading his voice. "Interesting friends. Always a gamble dealing with a Mandalorian." He tries to make a show of looking at where the female mando just left, seemingly unable to resist one last joke at their expense.

<p>As Desh walks by the guards, he grabs the barrel of the one with whom he'd been speaking, giving it a forceful shove towards the floor. <b>"You should be careful where you point that… someone'll get hurt."</b></p>
<p>Desh waits until he has some distance between himself and any of the guards before he responds to Juce's hissed warning. He covers his response by acting like Jerrn was slipping, hefting the big man up a bit to cover his activating his comm. <b>"I think the mando we saw on that holovid may have just arrived. If he's after this bounty, too, he could complicate things. Don't suppose anyone can slice into their maintenance systems and shut down his lift?"</b> He gives Jerrn a rough smack to the side of his head, raising his voice to carry, <b>"Stay asleep, jedi!"</b> Then his voice drops once again. <b>"Hell, if we can hack into the local security feed, we could somehow insert some of our information into his security clearance and ID information… that could really make things interesting for him."</b></p>
<p>Not wanting to raise any suspicions, Desh gives the seemingly-unconscious Jerrn one more heft before continuing on their way to the appointment destination. He gives the quiet signal through the comm that they're past the initial checkpoint.</p>
