Jacen Baurne, amnesiac former commando, now bounty hunter [TNJadeonar]

This request is for an rpg character I'm looking to play.

He was a mercenary who fought for the separtists during the clone wars. He was severely injured in an explosion but was too stubborn to die. As a result, he has 2 cybernetic prosthetic arms (no finger prints). Due to his brain injuries, the separatist docs needed to make him a chip-head to get him conscious again, as long as they were doing that they made it a combat implant, which gives him the ability to use absolutely any weapon proficiently.

Most of his skills are more or less intact but he's missing a good deal of his memories... "Jacen Baurne" is just an identity he's using because he doesn't know his own name. He even doesn't recognize the face in the mirror as his own but he believes this to be because the reconstructive surgery gave him a new/different face. What he recalls of his past before waking up in the hospital is mostly vague fleeting images of people and places. He knows he was an elite mercenary and his brothers in arms were either completely or almost completely wiped out.

He was just starting rehab when the clone wars ended and the docs tried to kill him to cover up their involvement with the separatists. He escaped by killing, and stealing the scrubs of, the orderly who attempted to give him the lethal injection. Since then he worked as a blaster for hire of some variety or another, frequently a bounty hunter.

He's a "secretly paranoid" SOB, and that paranoia has kept him alive and free on more than one occasion. He knows he has enemies; he found that out the hard way by approaching individuals whose faces, but not names, he remembered. The claimed to be old friends, but something just wasn't right. Acting on his suspicions, he caught his "old friends" haggling with an imperial officer over the price for which they would betray him to the empire. To cover his tracks, he killed them and the imperial officer.

The empire is now hunting for a name unknown member of his former mercenary company, which as I said was wiped out almost to a man. The only person specific information they have on Jacen are the finger prints of his former right hand (no picture, no DNA). They don't know that the name unknown mercenary has lost either of his hands. Since then he's been trying to discover his past without alerting the empire to who he is, what he looks like now.

He's bitter against the corrupt republic turned empire who killed his brother's in arms, and is completely convinced of the justness of separatists war against the empire, a war he was very willing to profit from. He believes the Jedi were blind fools who only learned the error of their ways when their precious republic turned on them.

He's found that a great place to hide is in plain sight, working as a bounty hunter who is willing to collect imperial bounties. He tends to go after murderers, slavers, and other galactic scum. He's pretty much just in it for the credits, but on occasion he's turned a bounty or two loose after seeing the nobleness of their actions and realizing the empire gave them a bad rap.

Jacen's appearance is pretty average and unremarkable in most respects, average height, brown hair, average face, no visible scars or other distinguising marks. He muscular in a compact wirey sort of way that is easily hidden under loose clothing. He's about 5 foot 8 inches tall (173 cm), and looks A LOT like the guy in this picture

The picture I'd like of him has him wearing a suit that looks a lot like a male version of the one she's wearing
http://images.community.wizards.com/community.wizards.com/user/eliaswin…
in that it's form fitting black with a lot of hardware on the arms/shoulders and utility belt. The hardware on his left forearm is a bracer computer, the hardware on his right is a wrist rocket launcher with 2 rockets on it. His suit's helmet looks like the one I photo-shopped into the lower left corner of the picture.

He should be holding the helmet trapped between his left arm and torso/waist/upper-thigh with the visor facing forward and his left fingers gripping (wrapped inside) the left chin/jaw of the helmet. I'd like him to be holding this carbine

in his right hand (hand on the grip, finger on the trigger), and have a pistol strapped to his right thigh in a gunslinger low position.

The basic body positioning I'm thinking of is vaguely similar to this quarren

but feel free to change it up if you like.

I don't care to much what you do with the scenery, but it should be thematically appropriate for him to be standing around without a helmet on. You may want to put 2-3 droids that look like this

hovering around him, but you don't have to if you'd rather not.

Thanks for your time, consideration.

Bwa.

*oggles wall of text*

You might wanna break it up a little and add more html tags, just to make it a bit more readable :)

'eh... I just skip over the ones that have nothing but a wall of text I can't read. So do most of the artists.

Y'know, I've got most of the 3d model stuff to do this request (earlier 3d content purchases this year). I don't have that specific droid, (unless i can find a model of it) but I do have similar alternate droids that might fit the role. I do have a jumpsuit coverall, I might have that exact helmet or at worst case a vaguely similar one, and cybernetic arms, and a face to match. Posing won't be much of a problem. I don't have that exact carbine, but probably could find something similar.

Anyone mind if I tackle this request?

TNJadeonar,
Thanks, I'd love for you to tackle it. any similar droid is ok, similar carbine is ok too (you won't be finding that exact one because I gimped, Gnu Image Manipulation Program-ed, it together from 4 different guns. Note that arms don't look cybernetic (a Luke thing)... I mentioned the cybernetic fore arms because the instructions for making a request said to put a bit of backstory in it. -Elias

TNJadeonar

No problem, that makes it even easier ;)

I'll start on it right now and post a WIP blog.

What I can also do is if I can't find the exact droid, I do have a selection of samples I can offer for you to choose from that are in the hovering spherical range. Expect an edit to this post with a WIP blog link shortly...
