RETURNING: Cisco Ramon
〈 CHARACTER INFO 〉
CHARACTER NAME: Lando Calrissian
CHARACTER AGE: ~34
SERIES: Star Wars
CHRONOLOGY: Near the end of Return of the Jedi, just as he's flying the Millennium Falcon away from the exploding Death Star.
CLASS: vaguely a Hero
HOUSING: opt-in for housing in any city!
BACKGROUND: Wookieepedia link
PERSONALITY:
Lando is, first and foremost, an opportunist. He had a rough childhood-- Soccoro is not an easy place to grow up-- and learned early on that if you're going to get anything in life, you have to take it yourself. He started off as a smuggler and a gambler, taking jobs to pay off his debts, running with a less than legal crowd across the galaxy. But Lando is also loyal, and he puts his trust in people who are loyal to him. Case in point, Lobot. When Lobot sacrificed his mind so that he and Lando could escape the ship that was about to explode, Lando swore to find a way to get his friend back, and kept Lobot with him through his years at Cloud City, serving as his right hand man.
Being Baron Administrator of Cloud City taught Lando responsibility, and to look out for the well beings of people other than himself. When Vader arrived and forced him to make a deal to turn over his friends, he agreed because it would guarantee the safety of the people in his charge. Then, when Vader altered the terms of their deal, he bailed, but not before trying to get as many people out of Cloud City as he could.
Lando is someone who plays games, always trying to succeed and come out ahead. Whether it's a game of Sabacc with a ship at stake, or whether it's a longer game of deception, he's pretty good at rolling with the punches. This is the guy who went on for years about how he can't stand blasters, won't use 'em, et cetera, only so that when the time came he finally had to use a blaster, no one would see it coming.
Doing the right thing for the right, more altruistic reasons is relatively new to Lando, but he finds it suits him well. He likes the adventure that comes along with fighting for the Rebel Alliance, but he also likes the acclaim. And he feels that he's ignored the misdeeds of the Empire for far too long. He knows there's not much he can do by himself to take down the Empire, but if there's a way for him to help the Rebellion do just that, he will.
POWER: Probability Manipulation. Lando will have the ability to alter the likelihood of an outcome, whether by making an unlikely result occur or making the likely result not happen. This might manifest as being in the right place at the right time, or always having on hand exactly what he needs to make something work. At first he won't be able to control it, and will just have incredibly good luck. However, the more he uses his power to get things his way, the weaker he will become physically, developing a cough or a nosebleed if he goes too far. Thus, he'll learn to develop control and will only use the ability when he needs to.

COMMUNITY POST (VOICE) SAMPLE:
[ All you hear is some indistinct muttering, but what you see is the most glorious mustache to grace the network in the history of ever, up close and personal and filling the screen. It would seem someone is still figuring out the camera functions on his comm device. ]
Is this thing even on? Where's the hologram feature? How do you--?
[ Ah. He found the off button. Then, after a minute, the feed clicks back on, this time at a more reasonable angle. ]
Well, that sure was harder than it needed to be. Still don't get why these things don't have a hologram function, but anyway. The name's Lando Calrissian, newly "imported." Which is odd to say, because usually I'm the one doing the importing. I'm looking for news on the Rebel Alliance, if anyone's got any word. Hoping some information can get through that Porter, 'cause I've got some news to get back to the proper channels.
[ With that, he seems to be satisfied, so he salutes the camera and ends the feed. ]
