personality

Fett has spent the past 60 years of his life as a bounty hunter: a killer, kidnapper, thief, and soldier for hire, who sells his services to the highest bidder. He has earned a reputation for being relentless, ruthless, and inhumanly cold. All of those descriptors are accurate—yet, beneath the surface, Fett’s psyche is far more turbulent and multifaceted than his impassive exterior suggests.

One of the first things one might notice about Fett is that he is a very austere man, making few allowances for his own comfort. Despite owning safehouses on a variety of planets and being a wealthy planetary leader beside, Fett eschews all luxury, keeping to himself and spending his nights sleeping aboard his small, spartan starship, Slave I. He’s also quite cynical, with the tendency to expect the worst of people and situations. These traits can make him a hard man to befriend, as he’s rarely taken in by charm or frivolity.

Furthermore, even when he meets someone he finds agreeable, Fett can be difficult to get along with. He has little experience doing anything that might be termed “socializing” and thus finds social situations to be perplexing and stressful; he compares even basic interactions to “a minefield.” As a result, he tends to fall back on a sarcastic and acerbic way of communicating, often to his own frustration. Even with those he genuinely likes—loves, even—and cares about, he is often awkward at best and hurtful at worst, even when he is trying hard not to be.

As a result, Fett is far more comfortable sticking with what he knows: violence. Violence to him is a cleansing, almost meditative act. Unlike the labyrinthian, often-distressing world of relationships and social interaction, violence is simple and straightforward, and something at which Fett knows beyond a doubt that he can excel. Yet, Fett’s lifelong devotion to violence can cause its own discomforts as well, as he cannot always control whom his violent thoughts are directed towards, much to his own unease. For example, he randomly feels the urge to strike Mirta when she is sitting next to him and gets a “predatory” feeling when he’s around a blinded Sintas. Naturally, Fett feels disturbed by these thoughts and does not act on them.

In the few positive relationships Fett does manage, his companionship is described by one friend as “an odd blend of scrupulous detachment punctuated by rare acts of what in any other man might have been regarded as pure sentimentality.” Similarly, Fett describes his own internality as a “switch,” one that shifts unpredictably between “cold logic” and “emotions rubbed raw.” As a result, he can seem unpredictable on the outside, his cold impassivity suddenly giving way to concern, anger, or remorse with seemingly little provocation.

Finally, Fett is a highly-principled man who believes in honoring his word even to his own detriment. For example, after he agrees to carry out a mercenary contract for Admiral Natasi Daala, his decision sparks contention from his friend Goran Beviin and granddaughter Mirta. Yet, even after said contention causes him to doubt the decision himself, he resolves to see the job through rather than go back on his word. That said, Fett is not above using wordplay to loophole his way out of certain obligations. Most notably, when the leader of the Yuuzhan Vong offers to spare Mandalore in exchange for an alliance with the Mandalorians, Fett answers, “Based on [your promise], I accept,” knowing that the promise itself is a lie. Thus, he is able to technically keep his word while still betraying the Yuuzhan Vong in the end.

appearance

Fett almost always wears his Mandalorian armor when in the company of others, including his Mandalorian battle helmet which obscures his face. Despite the appearance of his icon and other visuals, the plates he wears at this canonpoint are NOT the original seen in the Original Trilogy films, but newly-smithed and painted ones that recreate his original color scheme. As such, they bear far less battle damage than his original plates, with one exception: a large, silver streak, edged with black, spanning several plates from his stomach to his shoulders where the paint has been burned away. An experienced eye may be able to recognize it as battle damage from the slash of a lightsaber.

His helmet is the one piece retained of his original armor. It is heavily scarred and scuffed, and bears a dent on the upper left side. The black, T-shaped visor completely conceals Fett's face.

On those rare occasions where Fett forgoes his armor, one can see that he is an older man with brown skin, close-cropped gray hair, and dark brown eyes. That said, it is difficult to discern his exact age due to the extensive acid scarring to his face and the rest of his body, which has transformed large patches of his skin to smooth, almost-glossy scar tissue.

Fett is described as "of average build," with a confident but unassuming way of carrying himself that often means he goes unrecognized when wearing anything but his iconic armor—and even then, occasionally.

key relationships

MIRTA GEV: Fett's granddaughter, who was raised from birth to view her grandfather as a monster she had a duty to destroy. She posed as a fellow bounty hunter hired by his daughter Ailyn Vel in order to gain his trust and lure him into an ambush. Upon finding out the truth of her deception and his daughter's death, Fett removed his helmet and offered to let Mirta kill him. She found herself unable to pull the trigger, much to her own despair. Since then, she and Fett have reconciled. Their constant bickering belies the fact that they care deeply for one another, even if they both have trouble expressing this sentiment.

GORAN BEVIIN: Fett's second-in-command and best friend, though Fett would never admit to the latter. The two forged a bond during their close cooperation in the tumultuous, often-nightmarish Yuuzhan Vong invasion, with Beviin quickly coming to realize that Fett wasn't nearly as impervious and put-together as he likes to act. As such, Beviin treats Fett with a level of affection and gentleness that seems utterly bizarre to most other characters, and as such, Fett prefers his company to anyone else's. Fett can be a bit dependent on him, especially when facing emotionally or socially difficult situations.

SINTAS VEL: Fett's former wife, with whom he eloped to Concord Dawn when they were both teenagers. Their lives there went terribly, terribly wrong, due both to the reprehensible actions of Fett's superior officer, Lenovar, and to Fett's own highly destructive reaction to them. Fett was ultimately exiled from Concord Dawn at about 19 years old, and made no attempt to reestablish contact with Sintas for decades afterwards. Sintas herself was thought dead for almost 40 years after a bounty hunting contract of hers went south, but in truth was being held in suspended animation in carbonite, initially as a prisoner and then as a forgotten piece of salvage. Her survival was eventually discovered, and Mirta and Fett had her brought to Mandalore to be freed and rehabilitated. Fett feels immense guilt and shame for his abandonment of her, and is determined to help her regain her memories and autonomy.

JAINA SOLO: Daughter of Han Solo, who is currently training under Fett to learn how to kill her renegade brother. As a Jedi, a Solo, and the sister of the man who tortured Fett's daughter to death, Jaina's initial relationship with Fett was strained, to say the least. Yet, through their collaboration, the two of them are gradually developing an understanding of one another that challenges their preconceptions. Jaina is beginning to see that Mandalorians aren't just brutish thugs who care about nothing beyond credits, and Fett is beginning to realize that not all Jedi are a threat to be exterminated. Recently, he witnessed Jaina defend Mirta during a skirmish with a Sith apprentice, which has done much to heighten his general regard of her.

JETPACK: Allows for approximately 1 minute of total flight-time on one fuel tank.

WEAPONS: EE-3 carbine rifle, concussion grenade launcher, wrist-mounted flamethrower, mini-concussion rocket, jetpack-mounted missile, thermal detonator, wrist-mounted dart launcher and retractable vibroblade, and kneepad-mounted rocket dart launchers.

OTHER: Wrist-mounted fibercord whip, grappling device, anti-security blade, and data breaker
