Rick Mulluns

Rick Mulluns was a cybernetic mercenary who lived during the time of the Old Republic. He was also diagnosed with an unknown eye disease which turned them dead white and made him nealry blind, where he was then given a special type of goggles to wear over his eyes that allowed him to see. He was a former Republic soldier and was thrown out after going slightly renegade and turned into a mercenary. After the death of his fiancé, Beth Reed, by a unnamed Dark Jedi and being fatally wounded by him before killing him, Mulluns was saved with cybernetic implants in his chest. He was forced to to wear life support armor and mask for the rest of his days if he was to live.

He attempted to try to find peace by joining the Jedi Order, and only stayed for several months before the anger and hatred was building up in him. He left the Jedi and went back to being a freelance mercenary, with nothing to lose and no one to care for but himself. He was eventually possessed by the spirits of Beth and the Dark Jedi, nearly forcing the cyborg into insanity as he attempted to subdue the spirits and control them. He grew to hate the Force, so much that he wanted it dispelled from his body completely due to the spirits's control over his body. That hatred only grew after seeing grim visions of the End Times due to the Force and it's followers. It was unknown if this was false or true, as only he was able to see them.

Mulluns also had a younger sister named Jessica Mulluns whom he forgot about after the cyberfication process.

His Childhood
Not much is known about Rick Mulluns's child hood, there wasn't much to say. He went to a normal school on Coruscant and did good there just like an average student would. There, he met a girl named Beth Reed and they became good friends and were soon going out. When Mulluns hit 14, he was diagnosed with a rare eye virus that had no known cure. To help him see, he was given a special type of goggles that somehow tapped into his dead eyes and allowed him to see. Despite this, Beth still loved him and and things went back to normal soon enough. When he was 18, he graduated from school and sought work to be a soldier for the Republic while Beth became a doctor, despite there different jobs, they both still loved each other and tried to see one another at least once a week.

Leaving the Republic
At age 23, Rick Mulluns was a Soldier for the republic for 3 years and was working his way to to the next rank until a mission on Dantooine happened. He and several others were stationed there to solve a feud between two factions on the planet and things were getting out of control. When his comrades tried to get the situation under control and calm one side down, the other side attacked, resulting in the death of one of Mulluns's men and sparking a shoot out between the two sides. Enraged, Mulluns aimed his rifle at the ones who started it and cut them down in a series of blaster fire, and then he cut down the other side, much to the shock of his surviving comrade. When reinforcements arrived, Mulluns told his superior officer what he had done, and held no regret for his actions, and would have done it again. With that, Mulluns was kicked out of the Republic army, and he held no grudge for there actions.

Life of a Mercenary
After being kicked out of the army, Mulluns went to see Beth and told her he was leaving coruscant to become a Mercenary, since he had the skills and equipment to be one.When she questioned him on why he would want to be one, he told her what happened and said he would be a mercenary for the Republic on other planets, knowing it was still worth protecting. She understood and wanted to go with him, and he agreed, saying nothing can tear them apart from each other. With that, they packed what they had and left Coruscant and made there way to Mannan, since it was always peaceful and the Republic there might be interested in hiring him for a job or two. When they got there, and got settled in, Beth was hired at the local Clinic while Mulluns took on jobs for the Republic, which most was off planet, since the laws on Mannan were strict on keeping the peace.

The last job
After four years of his job, he had an assignment for the Republic, one that they thought only Mulluns can do. He needed to find a Trandoshan on on of the islands on Telos that seemed to be forming a Trandoshan army and had a prototype armor he was working on, one that was almost as strong as cortosis, they saw this to be a threat to the Republic and it needed to be delt with before innocent lives were lost. Before he left, Beth asked to go with him, thinking she would help. Mulluns didn't want her to, thinking it would be too dangerous, but she insisted. After a while, he allowed her to come as they traveled to Telos and spent several days to locate the Island his target was on.

After a week of looking, they found a hidden weapons lab run mostly by trandoshans on a hidden island. As Mulluns did most of the shooting, he had Beth stay near the entrance, in the control room to see if she could help him from there. Mulluns had to shoot his way through many guards, getting shot once or twice, but there was nothing a little bacta could do. When he got into the bottom level, he saw the one in charge of the project going on. Silencing everyone there and setting some charges to destroy all the work, he began to make his way towards the exit.

As he was leaving, he radioed in to the Republic to come in and secure the labs, since his job was done. When he went back to the entrance, he was shocked to see that there was someone else with Beth, a hooded assassin, holding a Orange Lightsaber at her throat. He said he's been tracking him for a while now, saying he is strong in the force, and would make a powerful Sith one day, or a powerful Jedi. When he offered Mulluns to join, Mulluns answered with a blaster fire to him, only to have it reflected, and had to witness his fiancée die infront of him. When that happened, he became enraged and open fired on the Dark Jedi with a stream of bolts, too much for him to reflect as he was quickly cut down, but not before managing to throw his saber straight into Mulluns, piercing his chest.

Reborn
By the time the Republic arrived, The Unknown Assassin and Beth were dead, but Mulluns was surprisingly alive, barley. He was placed in a medical capsule and taken off Telos via medical transport, back to Coruscant. He was placed in surgery and it looked grim. Since he was a former Soldier and did so much for the Republic, they weren't about to let him die. To save his life, he was placed in a life support armor and stabilizer life support mask, one that he would be forced to wear for the rest of his days.

When Mulluns came to consciousness, and found him in cased in this armor and the love of his life was dead, half of Mulluns's soul died. When he left the facility, he had nothing left to live for and sought one thing: The annihilation of the Sith Empire. Using a book he found, he managed to construct a Lightsaber, but was not an easy task. He went on to find the Jedi, and to join there ranks, to seek Vengeance on all the Sith...

The Lightsaber
Since Lightsabers weren't for sale to the public, and the Black market might have one, but who knows if it would still be good, Mulluns knew it was the weapon he would need to fight the Sith. He acquired a manual on how to build one by a Peddler on Coruscant, which seemed to be accurate. He remembered long ago, a gift was given to him by Beth, it was a Clear Yellow Crystal that she had kept and gave it to him as a gift as well. He had no idea it could be used as a focusing crystal though, and soon learned it was through the manual. He then needed the parts, and a mercenary buying parts for a Lightsaber in a public store seemed a little suspicious, so he went to a local junk heap and salvaged what he could.

While it was not the very best, and sometimes fell apart if handled too rough, it was good...for a Non Jedi. After he vowed his new goals and built his Lightsaber, he enrolled himself to the Jedi and was instructed to go to a Hidden Jedi Station where he would meet Jedi Master Dace Hu, his teacher.

Back to the Old Life
As he lived the life as a Jedi for several months, he still felt the hatred for Sith for the suffering they caused to him, and somehow felt a small hatred for the Jedi for not doing anything about it. After six months of being a mere Jedi Padawan, he left there Order without any notice, leaving everything from the Jedi but his Lightsaber. He disliked the Jedi, for there wanten ignorance, and he hated the Sith, for taking everything from him and encasing him in a shell. He would no longer serve for the Jedi, the Sith, but only himself.

He was Rick Mulluns, the Human Cyborg Mercenary.

Loosing Sanity
As weeks turned into months after leaving the Order, Mulluns thought that he was Finlay free from the Jedi, Sith and the Force. He was wrong, very wrong. He soon started to have strong, realistic like visions through his mask... Of Beth... and her Killer... They tried to persuade him that he cannot abandon the destiny on him, and must choose his own path, either Light or Darkness. Having a Hatred for the Dark Jedi for destroying his former life, and already over the death of his dearly beloved, he attempted to push them out of his existence, but to no avil.

Some time went by, and what seemed longer to Mulluns, as his sanity was slowly slipping, and his self control... The spirits in him slowly started to act up, and could even speak aloud for Mulluns or do things for him... all through Mulluns's body. He needed to get them out of him... get the Force out of his body... He was determined, and would go to extreme measures to remove the Force from his body and mind, even if he needed the Jedi or Sith... or to just somehow launch an attack on the Force itself it it came down to that...

On his journeys, he found his way on Nar Shadda, seeking work while his mind continued to fight it's self. There, he found what may have been a cure for him, a cure to rid himself of the spirits that lingered in his mind, and a way to possibly rid himself of the Force. He met two humans, Jyris Hailon and Kylina Solo, the former being a freelancer like Mulluns, and the latter being what seemed to be a Sith, who apparently knew Mulluns when she first saw him.

After she took a look into his mind, and saw just how haywire it was inside, she didnt know if she could help the Cyborg, but she told him she would need time to find a cure for him. For some reason, he trusted her, and knew she would keep her word. Whether it was a matter of trust, or that he thought she wasent a Sith fully yet is unknown. And so, as weeks turned into months, he waited, finding work for himself, trying to find his own ways to cure himself... and on how to control the spirits in him to work to his own advantage.

New Purpose
Rick Mulluns has survived many horrors and adventures throughout his life, and the very meaning of his existence changed one day on Onderon. While lookong for a job offer, he was stuck down by some unknown power, and was forced to flee into an alley way. There, he saw images in his mind, but were brought into reality through his eyes. He saw the Galaxy in ruins and chaos, the only living beings left were Jedi and Sith, who were constantly at war with eachother, and it is them to blame for the state of the galaxy. Wether this is signs from the past, or of the future, he realized his hatred for both groups was justified.

He was confronted by several Neutral force users: Garren Khaar and Gerard Crace, who felt his vision as a disturbance in the force. They warned him that others, such as Jedi or Sith would feel it and would be after him for it, and it wasent long before the Sith arrived to take in the Cyborg. Mulluns and the two force users fought them off, while both recieved there own share of pain along the way. It was then Mulluns's very force presence in his body erupted, and helped him fight the Sith off with Gerard, as well as helping redeam one of the Sith Acolytes: Jonas Eldridge.

It was then Mulluns explained his new purpose, and why he had the vision: The Force cares nothing for the galaxy, only Stability and Order. He told them what could be possible the Future if the Force is allowed to as it wishes. He renounced his life as a Mercenary to seek something new for his Cause: The death of the Jedi and Sith Orders, and the very life of The Force itself. For as long as it lives, The Force will cause more harm and suffering in the Galaxy then the Sith could ever cause and the Jedi could ever heal.

He set off, his new goal now in place. He would not stop until the Force and its two Orders were dead... or die trying.

Personality
Unflappable and Unmovable, Mulluns is completly desensetized to seeing someone die or even the most disturbing of things the Galaxy holds. Always stoic, never one to stop trying when injured, and never views anything he does as pleasure. He doesn't like anyone unless there of some actual use to him, speaks only when necessary, and doesn't have a sense of humor or romance of any kind. He dosent believe in friends, he considers them allies or associates, and is usualy never willing to stretch it farther. When in battle, he dosent like it when he has to rely on others and when they dont have to rely on him.

Dual Pistols
Mulluns prefered to use two heavy style blaster pistols for his main arsenal of weapons. He prefers them over rifles most of the time and were easier to conseal. However, they also over heated with too many shots fired once, which forces him to shoot them in controled bursts.

Short Blades
Instead of weilding a knife, Mulluns usualy carried two sheethed shortblades on him and usualy only used them when necessary or when forced into close combat.

The Lightsaber
During his time after becoming a cyborg, Mulluns decided to enlist into the Jedi to hopefully find some peace. During so, he crudely constructed a Lightsaber with a yellow crystal in it. After becoming an apprentice, he constructed a new one under the guidence of the Jedi. However, when he left the Jedi, he left behind his robes and the first lightsaber constructed, the new one was in his possession when he became a mercenary once more.

He had little training in it however, and only used it when absolutely necessary and kept it mostly hidden from others.

The Goggles
Nothing much is known about the goggles that Mulluns wears over his near dead eyes, other then they tap into his eyes and allow him to somewhat see. He almost never took them off, even while sleeping or bathing, and even threatened others who threatenes to remove them to see what lay under them. After becoming a cyborg, the goggles were most likely intergrated into his mask.

The Mask
The piece of armor that covers most of Mulluns's head and helps him breath better. It is based off an old mask design that was used to send micro-bursts of electricity to the wearer's brain. This design, however, is hooked up to the main life support armor's sytems and supplies oxegen through the wearer's mouth and nose to allow easier breathing. It also provides protection against damage, such as small blaster shots or balistic rounds. However, it is useless against powerful shots or high powered explosives. Mulluns wears it all the time, even while he sleeps and his facial appearance underneith is unknown, even to him.
