Ma'randru-jo

"Another day, another kill."

- Ma'randru-jo

Ma'randru-jo was a felinoid male bounty hunter and the most notorious assassin in the whole galaxy. Raised as Boba Fett's apprentice, Ma'randru-jo learned the combat skills necessary to one day become a bounty hunter in his own right.

Boba was eaten alive by a Sarlacc during the Battle against Luke Skywalker and the rest of the rebellion in The Pit of Carkoon. Ma'randru-jo swore to fight against Han Solo, who threw Boba in the pit, and teamed up with a group of bounty hunters that included Aurra Sing and Bossk. Their plot to kill Solo failed, and Ma'randru-jo realized that he had gone too far in trying to kill the human smuggler, but he vowed never to forgive him. After serving a brief prison sentence, Ma'randru-jo formed a team of bounty hunters and took on a number of missions.

Appearance
Ma'randru-jo is an anthropomorphic cat with golden yellow eyes and large pointed ears. His form is hairless and while overall defined in built, he is very thin and bony. He is of a similar height to Boba Fett, being slightly shorter, but his ears make him appear taller. He dons black, red, and white trimmed Mandalorian armor, but never wears the helmet. Instead, he wears Steampunk Victorian Goggles in use of using Gatling Gauntlets.

Personality
Ma'randru-jo is skilled, yet lazy and playful (like most cats). His similarities to cat-like behavior also display in his love for long sleep sessions and how he grooms himself. Similar to many cats, he likes to display dominance, and will claim whatever he desires to have without much consideration for how it will affect others. While he is a fearsome bounty hunter, his cat-like gestures and his variety of facial expressions separate him from the more malevolent Imperials and Sith Lords. He has a very indifferent behavior toward death, being the best bounty hunter in the galaxy, and cares little to none about death and the lives he has taken over the years.

However, Ma'randru-jo is known for his cockiness, dry wit, rudeness, marksmanship, and his fast draw. He often boasted of being the quote-on-quote, "One That Never Misses a Shot". He once said he preferred to shoot first as opposed to shooting second, and used to his advantage on at least one occasion the fact that he was ambidextrous.

Ma'randru-jo's Demise
After the Imperials invaded the Dagobah system, Finn escaped, Ma'randru-jo caught up to the young Jedi Knight, and they crashed into the launch room for an experimental rocket sled. Ma'randru-jo battled Finn, after being thrown through the glass into a control room, accidentally starting the ignition sequence. Ma'randru-jo attacked Finn with a chain, but failed when the rocket sled activated and the two were shot out into the swamp on the marsh, incinerating some of the Stormtroopers in the process. The rapid speed rendered the bounty hunter unconscious, and when it stopped, Finn was able to push him off the spaceship into the dirt and slipped away.

Upon recovering, Ma'randru-jo was found by some Imperials who had followed the rocket sled's trail. Getting into a shuttle, he commanded a second carload of Stormtroopers to hunt down and kill Finn. Ma'randru-jo himself returned to Dagobah but Finn ultimately escaped. The bounty hunter went to Kowak with the Galactic Empire, where they captured Finn and Rey and brought them to the Imperial's military encampment. During the ride to the Death Star, Ma'randru-jo became annoyed by the bickering of Finn and Rey, asking one of the Imperial's captain "Mon Dieu, is this what humans do?", before attempting to (presumably) rape her as he exclaims "Kiss me, I'm French", whereupon both Finn and Rey untied their bonds and punch him in the face and knocked him out.

He remained unconscious in the shuttle for the beginning of the ensuing galaxy chase, but when Han Solo pulled alongside a duck containing Rey, and several Rebels, Ma'randru-jo awakened and (barely) regained control of the shuttle after she and a Rebel friend jumped out into the Millennium Falcon.

With Finn for knocking him out twice, he gathered the straggling Imperials thrown out during the chase and the shuttle soon caught up to Solo' party - at The Pit of Carkoon in Tatooine. Heedless of the Sarlacc, Ma'randru-jo leapt out of the speeding vehicle and tackled Finn and Solo to the ground, engaging Finn in a second brutal fistfight, which was allowed to continue unmolested by the Sarlacc due to Solo's use of his guns. This time, Ma'randru-jo managed to actually gain the upper hand in the brawl. Following being beaten upside the head with a metal pipe by Finn, a dazed Ma'randru-jo fell into the sand. The Sarlacc wrapped it's tentacle around Ma'randru-jo's legs and dragged him feetfirst into it's gaping maw, where he was devoured alive.

Legacy
Following Ma'randru-jo's demise, people searched inside the Sarlacc and found no signs of his body. Rumors began to circulate that his body had disappeared from it's belly and, despite statements by the Empire that the bounty hunter was dead, they were unable to provide any evidence to prove it, moving to punish anyone who publicly said otherwise.
