Character & Canon: Boba Fett from Star Wars: Legends
About: Boba here is the cloned son of the infamous bounty hunter, Jango Fett. When Boba is ten years old, Jango is decapitated before his very eyes, leaving him orphaned and alone in a very hostile galaxy. He is hunted by multiple factions for a variety of reasons, only a few of which Boba understands. Life as a fugitive quickly transforms him from a fairly sweet and trusting kid to a hardened survivor, willing to do whatever it takes to not only survive, but follow his father's posthumous orders to seek greatness as a killer-for-hire. (Note: this version of Boba Fett is from the Star Wars Expanded Universe rather than the Clone Wars and later media, so several key events, such as his impersonating a clone cadet and trying to kill Mace Windu, do not happen in his timeline.) Depending on his exact canonpoint, he can come on a spectrum from "sheltered, overly-trusting kid who just happens to know how to kill people" to "cagey, combative fugitive who is ready to die fighting at a moment's notice." Preference For: OTA
Seeking: Some manner of found family shenanigans, whether in the form of an adoptive parental figure or a sibling. Note that I don't mean that I'm looking for Boba to literally get adopted right of the bat, but for him to meet someone who, for whatever reason, is willing to stick around for long enough to develop a familial-type relationship with him. This may be out of the goodness of their heart or for external reasons (i.e., they're both stuck in the same setting/situation and need each other's help). I'm open to AUs if you've got a good idea for one or even a mini-jamjar-type situation where both characters are pulled into an unfamiliar setting. Tbh, I am not amazing at AU-ing other characters into Star Wars, so if you'd like us to play against the Star Wars setting, I'd prefer you either play a canon character OR have an AU/OC ready to go. I'm sorry, my area of expertise when it comes to SW is just very specific :`D I cannot tell you diddly-squat about the Jedi or Sith, again I'm sorry OTL
Not Interested: I would prefer not to place Boba into the TCW timeline. That said, I'm fine playing him against TCW characters—it's just that we might need to put them into some multiversal jamjar sitch where it makes sense for both of them to preserve their memories of their own timelines.
Notes/Info: My timezone is currently UTC+8. That said, I will be visiting the US for two weeks from April 3 to April 18. It is likely I will only be able to manage minimal tags during this time, so I'm fine if we don't start until after I get back, or if we just take a break during that period.
