As Pictured<br/><strong>Eye Color:</strong>Black. As Pictured<br/><strong>Skin Color:</strong>Blue back, white belly.  As Pictured<br/><strong>Build:</strong>Muscular.<br/><strong>Distinguishing marks:</strong>Small fin on the back of his head.  Visible gills.  Various tattoos and battle scars.<br/><strong>Additional Info:</strong>Capable of breathing air or water.<br/><br/><hr/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 12pt;"><strong>Personality:</strong> </span><br/>Anyone saying that a Karkarodon is an emotionless killing machine has never fought one.  Like all of his kind, Kaulo is a remorseless killer but that is not to say he is emotionless.  To be stalked by a Karkarodon is an exercise in terror.  An apex predator, they lives to fight, glorying in the kill.  For them, killing is an almost religious experience.  Eternally patient, they explode in a frenzy of violence when the moment arrives, whether it is in a dogfight, hand to hand combat or just looking for food.  Once the fight is over, he returns to his quiet waiting state.  It has taken him a long time for Kaulo to learn that it is possible to fight without killing, such as when prisoners are needed or a bar brawl erupts.  In those cases, he tends to try not to get involved.<br/><br/>When not involved in combat, he is quiet, as if waiting for the coming storm.  He has a dark, gallows sense of humour and does not see practical jokes as funny, which of course makes him a target for them.  He bears them with quiet patience.  He considers his squadron mates allies, calling them 'loa', a rarely used karkarodon word meaning 'meat you don't eat'.  The enemy is simply 'meat'.<br/><br/><hr/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 12pt;"><strong>History:</strong> </span><br/>Kaulo has been fighting all his life.  It is the nature of his species.  He has a natural ability to think in three dimensions, which makes Karkarodon's (and other aquatic species, for that matter) natural combat pilots.  An inborn ability to be aware of what is going on in either a dogfight or a feeding frenzy almost makes up for their poor forward vision.<br/><br/>While his species was useful in the attempted takeover of Mon Cala, they were not used effectively elsewhere and Kaulo was tossed aside when the Empire rose.  When the rebellion started, having seen the fighting that could be done, Kaulo changed sides.  He is not the greatest pilot but his understanding of dogfight tactics is second to none.<br/><br/><hr/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 12pt;"><strong>Specializations:</strong> </span><br/><strong>Aquatic predator</strong>Essentially amphibious, Kaulo is ponderous on land but he is a lethal apex predator in the water.  He needs no gear to dive and can remain underwater for an unlimited amount of time.  It is literally his natural habitat.<br/><strong>Hand to hand combat</strong>Equipped with extremely effective natural weapons and a skin that is thick and abrasive, Kaulo is almost as deadly on land as he is in the water<br/><strong>Pilot</strong>With a natural understanding of three dimensional movement, Kaulo is a brilliant combat tactician.  Sadly, his piloting skill does not match his ability to predict the movements of a battle.<br/><hr/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 12pt;"><strong>Character Flaws:</strong></span><br/>Kaulo, like all Karkarodons, has poor forward vision.  There is an enormous blind spot directly in front of him, which explains why he is always moving his head from side to side, as if searching for something.  It is just one more reason, along with his emormous bulk, that requires his Y-Wing to sport a customized cockpit.<br/><br/>Kaulo has a hard time distinguishing a 'real' fight from one that is less serious.  He's badly injured several people in bar brawls before he learned to just step back and let the loa fight itself.<br/><br/>An obligate predator, Kaulo prefers his food live.  He can eat an enormous amount and then will not eat again for several days or weeks.  It would take him a long time to starve to death.<br/><br/>Thick skin prevents dehydration but Karkarodon can easily end up suffering from heat exhaustion because they do not vent heat easily.<br/><br/><strong>Other Info:</strong>Sex is strictly for reproduction for Karkarodons and generally follows a fiercely contested mating season.  It is something triggered by seasonal changed on the planet Karkaris and is unlikely to be duplicated elsewhere.  Without these changes, there is no urge to breed.  Kaulo is unlikely to reproduce or even desire to until he returns home.
