Norrin Vaxx


Norrin Vaxx was a Coruscant-born male Human who possessed a slight sensitivity to the Force. Ultimately, he rose to prominence as a leading gladiator within the Dool Arena.

Biography

Norrin, a native of Coruscant, exhibited a natural aptitude for manipulating the Force; however, his overall strength in this area was quite limited. Finding himself unable to depend on his Force powers, he sought alternative means of survival, specifically gambling and fighting. Over time, he gradually succumbed to the influence of the dark side of the Force. Despite being Force-sensitive, the Galactic Empire deemed his abilities so insignificant that they did not bother to dispatch anyone to pursue him.

He eventually achieved the status of a top competitor in the Dool Arena situated on Reuss VIII. It was at this arena that Greel, one of the owners, scheduled Norrin to face off against a new contender named Lusubrin T'shkali. Norrin expressed his disappointment with the pairing, considering the Nagai challenger to be relatively inexperienced in the arena.

Personality and traits

Norrin's approach to combat mirrored his gambling philosophy: he was willing to take calculated risks if he believed the potential rewards outweighed the dangers.

He possessed an unremarkable appearance, characterized by green eyes and silver-colored hair. Furthermore, he was among the most seasoned competitors in the Drool Arena.

Powers and abilities

While he had acquired knowledge of various methods for controlling the Force, his powers were consistently weak and had a minimal impact.

He did receive training with a lightsaber and attained a level of proficiency in combat that allowed him to become a top contender in the Dool Arena.

Equipment

In addition to his yellow-bladed lightsaber, he carried a BlasTech DL-18 blaster pistol, although its use was prohibited within the arena.
