Powers	Force User - The Dattanod family has both pride and shame among its branches and roots. A great-uncle and his daughter were both well respected Jedi. And then there's grandmother Elmodi, who fell in with the Night Sisters and never quite looked back. What this means for Damaldon is that from an early age, he was certainly meant to become 'some' kind of Force adept. But this was in an era when the Jedi and Sith had been at war for generations, the galaxy was in shambles, and no one could trust that any given sect of either of their camps would be right. Thankfully he's not one of those 'must learn to use a lightsaber' types. He doesn't need a lightsaber. He can turn any piece of equipment into something far more useful for the immediate needs! His Force skill comes with droids, computers, vehicles, tools, and any mechanical items. This does mean he's somewhat woeful with ... well, fleshy things... ^M4d 5ki11z - you're so leet it hurts to look at you, all technology is your domain, +3 Cluster with any computer equipment ^Grease Monkey - any piece of machinery that operates without a complicated computer, you know how to take apart and put together; Cluster: Mechanical Aptitude +3
Clusters 12^	^If It Isn't Flesh, It's Damaldon's Domain +7 Everything comes from his abilities with machinery and computers, the two powers above combine into a perfect storm of knowledge and skill. He can examine a tool or device and understand it within 15 minutes of intense scrutiny or just 'luck' if he grabs it from a pile as he's working. Maybe the Force moves the right tool into his hand, maybe the Force lets him understand all of this, but he then puts it into practical, physical use, and does not forget how to use even the most advanced items or ships, computer systems, security, or vehicles Use The Force, Damaldon! +3 When he's in a class or just has the luxury of time to concentrate on it, he is actually learning about how the Force truly works and how it can work through him. He does know his family history, and he is also being made aware of the subtle differences between his home dimension and those of Odalo and Cannon. The point is, here, the Force is strong and there are people to help him learn to use it right
Skills 26	Research Techniques +5 You'll find him reading data pads, books, scrolls, user manuals, signage, the backs of shampoo bottles, you name it, he will dedicate himself to understanding whatever information it can give him. He takes quick but well-made notes on anything, and they are all in the same format, so he can explain to someone else how to read his short-hand. He doesn't like it when someone left half-assed notes or no help section on a web site, or when the tags are torn from items that had washing instructions on them... Adaptable To Most Cultures +4 Because one thing that ties many different worlds together is technology, he can figure out where to fit in based on the level of technology that they're using. He does feel remarkably 'at home' here on Twoarth, given their staggering array of available tech, but he can also find himself well suited to Fur-Side areas where, while he doesn't exactly blend in, he fits in once they know he's making a grooming kit and cleanup device for the local salon... Or a buffing station for those Droids, or fixing someone's breathing apparatus if theirs is failing and they might get hurt by breathing an Oxygen-Nitrogen atmosphere. It's his only real way of interacting with people as people, with that buffer of machinery between him and them, but he does it very well Of Course He Can Navigate +4 He doesn't slack off when actually piloting a vehicle, anything from a jetski to a starship, but his far better skill aside from 'fixing' that vehicle is of knowing where to go and how to get there with it. He is brilliant at the calculations for fuel consumption when it matters, speed when it's needed, and stealth in vehicles that would otherwise be a glaring beacon of shouldn't-be-here. He also applies this to crowd-weaving and ... well, stealthy break-ins when security is a problem, he all but sees a Heads-Up Display worth of information: cones of visibility, where an ambush might be, where the next rest station is for the kiddos needing a break on that road trip, and how to reach the front rows of a good show without looking too eager to get there first or trampling anyone in the process
Knacks 8	Sometimes Follows Instructions Too Closely +/-3 He has... less of a sense of sarcasm or irony than most, and while he's smart enough to not be truly gullible, he doesn't like deviating from what he knows has been instructed. He'll get a little snippy when someone tries to follow a recipe to cook a dish and then just improvises spices, why didn't you get the right ones ready? It'll taste different than it was supposed to! He generally won't go farther than acting a little perturbed, unless it's his instructions that someone else is ignoring, because he feels that either they have failed to understand and Things Will Go Wrong, or, that he wrote them wrong somehow and is therefore To Blame For This Mess... If you do want those cookies to turn out exactly as intended on the box, he can and will do exactly what's written. He can also improvise with machinery or code - just... not with people involved...He's not 'short tempered' with people, he just... only understands them when they're functioning in a group or with a goal in mind. But please do not ask him to go to the dance, or what he thinks of the new music from that one group. While he can offer his expertly assessed ideas, he isn't all that great at conveying how little he cares about those things. But he will certainly verbally wonder whether the sound is able to affect droids and humans in the same way! Obliviously Handsome +4 There are a number of people who will sigh heavily and bat their eyes or even swoon a little when he enters the classroom, boys, girls, bots, whoever, and they seem to also understand that he's forbidden fruit: he is not going to brush them off because he doesn't like them as a person, it's because he entirely fails to see a potential partner when they're throwing themselves at him. He doesn't understand why he sometimes gets 'more' of that cake you made (maybe they followed the instructions) or is given a nicer seat in the theater on a busy night. He also therefore does not exploit this, and perhaps that's why people still do it Actually Helpful +4 Even if he has to butt in, any advice that he gives if he sees something about to go wrong, will definitely fix the dire issue at hand. He has learned to reserve this while in class unless it's going to be fatally wrong, since he also knows that learning involves ... well, failing sometimes, and he's not the boss of the entire class. But if he hands you a tool it's the right one, and if he pulls out a data pad with something on it, you should read it, it'll be what you need!

Pets	Only if they are intelligent enough to feed themselves... otherwise they're likely to be seen as a distraction taking up time and serving little purpose
Parents?	Both probably alive in their home Far Galaxy dimension
Siblings?	Possibly has a younger sibling, but since he doesn't really offer much information about his family directly, no one really knows

Other Info	They live near the campus in an apartment with other students - this is a place where he both shines and shies away. If the coffee machine is broken everyone does love him. If they're asking him to play foosball with them, he's out... He has a Just, Inconsiderate disposition, he doesn't mean to snub you, but sometimes you do get snubbed... that's just part of him and his ways and it's best to just move on with your life instead of fixating on him, because you won't be able to 'change' him
