Canon Abilities: N/A
Role: Legend
Role Qualities/Attributes: Black wings of glossy black feathers (like a rook, get it...?) that will remain mostly hidden and color shifting eyes. Bodhi will have enhanced strength and bravery, but he will also suffer from an easy loss of control of his emotions. 
Role Reasoning: Because at the end of the day, Bodhi is a good hearted person. He did not join the Empire out of a selfishness or hate, but because where he lived it was simply a means to get by. And it was his mostly kind nature that made it harder and harder to ignore the atrocities that they committed towards the galaxy. He eventually followed his heart with the help of an Imperial Scientist by the name of Galen Erso who gave him a chance to make things right. It means facing incredible risks, facing down a rebel cell that doesn't trust him, and eventually undertaking a hugely risky mission that can will probably mean death for him and everyone else involved. But it will give the rebels a fighting chance against the Empire. 

★ Personality ★

• What is the most important and defining relationship(s) in your character's life and why? While delivering goods from Jedha to Eadu, Bodhi met an imperial scientist by the name of Galen Erso. The man would become very important to Bodhi, as he was the one who gave Bodhi the chance to not only leave the Empire but to undo some of the harm that he was a part of and stick it to them. Bodhi would call it his "reprogramming" to the imperial droid he met on the Jedha escape. He trusted Bodhi enough to be able to carry out the mission that he could not, seeing past Bodhi's fears and telling him to follow his heart and that he would be able to do the right thing. And that's what he did.

• What is a headcanon (or two) you feel strongly about and that you prefer playing your character with? How is this supported in canon and why do you think it benefits the character's story? Despite his quiet nature, one headcanon I have is that Bodhi was not always this awkward or doubting, that he was a bit hot headed in his youth before joining the Empire, even getting in trouble with them on more than one occasion with them. It's in moments where he's talking to Saw Gerrera about the message and his men not believing him that he starts to get angry at them for doubting him and that he's gone through all of the things he has -- but they wont believe them? Bodhi also comes from an Imperial occupied space and there weren't a lot of opportunities afforded to him, I have gone with the reason that he joined the Empire was because he had his mother to take care of. 

• What does your character feel like they struggle with still? Where could they improve? This could be physically, mentally, emotionally, or otherwise. Definitely Bodhi himself does not see himself as a brave person. It stems a lot from a lack of confidence in himself and in his abilities, but he is braver than he gives himself credit for. He doesn't realize that he is just brave in the kind of way that is bourne out of desperation and fear. He risks his life several times. not knowing if he will be killed or not or if what he's doing will have any meaning. If he had more confidence in himself and faith in his skills and abilities, it's likely that he would realize that he is brave, and that he is capable of other acts of bravery. 

• What is your character's safespace? When do they feel the most settled and comfortable? When do they feel confident and relaxed? Bodhi, actually really does enjoy the act of flying. He's a pilot and he's good at it -- he'd probably have been a fighter pilot if he was able to pass the exams but there is something that's calming and peaceful about flying, when it's just him and him alone for however long he has to get to the next place. He can put on a bit of music or listen to a podcast and simply forget that he's delivering goods to people that are destroying the galaxy for a short period of time.
