Gamgalon, Jedi Master

This is Gamgalon, the last (living) Jedi Master NPC who's had any significant history in the Star Wars RPG I run. And he's nuts. Like, "shoot him in the face with a bazooka and he'll just smile and bite your head off" kind of nuts. But FUN!

Gamgalon made his debut when one of the PCs (a disgraced, alcoholic, 50-something-year-old Mandalorian) declared he was spending an entire Hyperspace trip doing squat-thrusts, and when people laughed about it, he challenged any takers to a contest. Gamgalon accepted, won the contest, and has been a confusing conundrum of (seemingly) conflicting characteristics ever since.

He's a Jedi, but he loves gambling and games of chance. He's a powerhouse warrior, but he taught his Padawan to be an acrobatic finesse-fighter. He's huge and burly, with a shark's smile and rows of pointed teeth-- hell, LOOK at the guy! He's like a dinosaur! And yet, he's gentle and even romantic, in the classical sense of the word. He dresses like a pirate, swings a 'saber like a wrecking ball, and yet enjoys poetry, soft classical music, and prefers open plains and open waters to busy cities or starships.

Just another example of how I love characters that defy simple explainations and stereotypes!

He talks with an Australian accent - one of those hard, harsh, grackle-throat kinds of Aussie accents - and whenever he takes the lead of the group, everybody knows that something memorable is about to happen.

For an idea of how memorable it gets with Gamgalon, check out his entry on our blog, here: [link]
