Description

Demdroom Loo is a 21 year old Ortolan male. At a height of 2 meters, he is considered rather tall for his species (average Ortolan height being around 1.1 to 1.7 meters). He is covered in a greenish-yellow hued velvet which is a product of the Ortolan tradition of pelt dying. This color also denotes his ancestral designation as a warrior in Ortolan society.

Character History

Pre-Birth

Demdroom Loo's family hails from the equatorial forests of the frigid planet Orto. His father was a hardened warrior and his mother a doctor. Demdroom's mother was pregnant with him when slavers disguised as traveling dye traders caught them off guard and forcefully captured all of the members of his village. Any sort of initial retaliation from the Ortolans had been swiftly and effectively put down and the slavers quickly departed the planet with them in stow.

Aboard the slave ship, the Ortolan villagers were subjected to borderline unlivable conditions. This prompted a desperate and rather violent struggle from the members of the village's warrior class in an attempt to commandeer the vessel and return home. The Ortolans outnumbered the slavers significantly and were eventually successful at incapacitating them. Unfortunately, the vessel had been placed on a passcode encrypted autopilot setting during the fighting and was locked onto Dagobah, another planet in the Sluis system.

Birth and Life on Dagobah

Upon entering Dagobah's atmosphere, the ship was met with incredibly aggressive turbulence and experienced major malfunctions, causing the ship to plummet without the ability to engage reverse thrust. The ship was lucky enough to land perpendicular to a body of water which prevented the ship from being totally destroyed. Unfortunately for some of the Ortolans on-board, the impact was still devastating enough to cause the death of several members of the village. Demdroom's mother was among the injured.

Both Demdroom's mother and father worked with the other surviving Ortolans to escape the vessel and they began to use supplies from the ship to set up camp on a nearby peninsula. Thankfully to their being accustomed to forest life, they were not completely out of their element on this planet and quickly became accustomed. Ortolans are also adapted to the dim conditions on their own world which benefited their sight and allowed them to more easily identify potential threats on Dagobah.

Shortly after the Ortolans started establishing themselves on the peninsula, Demdroom's mother went into labor. Unfortunately, there were complications during the pregnancy which were made worse by her prior injuries. She consequently succumbed after giving birth. Because of the general lack of sentient beings on the planet, there was little trade to be had and often the Ortolan villagers would manufacturer their own items and tools from the vast vegetation that surrounded them. The Ortolans lived a life off the land for a period of years and established their own village there.
