This story starts like every other such story. The person in question a.k.a me, dies. Every single person that has ever lived must have thought of what comes after, at least once. Anyhow let’s stop with all this kriffin morbid stuff, shall we.
Let me tell you how I got swallowed by the abyss first. It was an average day. Average for me at least. Read a bunch of Fanfictions and novels till late at night Scrolling through thread after thread, like any other bored “sapient” might. Till I come across a survey. It was on a Star Wars fan page. Usually I just scroll right through, but this kind of got my attention. Unlike the other surveys this one was peculiar. The author of the post was anonymous and the million-dollar question being: ‘If you get sent to the Star Wars universe with 5 wishes what will they be?’. Peculiar right? I sit there staring at the screen for a few minutes, all the while debating whether to type an answer or not. Apparently, no one else has. After a few minutes of pondering I finally decide to indulge my curiosity, and type out my answer to said survey.
- A highly adaptable body.
- A very high healing factor with self-replicating cells.
- Be a wound in the force, such that the force and force powers don’t affect me.
- Have the skills of all Assassin’s creed characters
- Have strong will power and extremely high intelligence.
I know, extremely corny right? You might be wondering why these. Why indeed. Usually people just wish for God like instantly over powered abilities. Like being a child of the force, being able to bitch slap the likes of Palpatine and Windu and all such yada yada. While I understand the appeal, it’s not for me. What is the point if there is not even a minor challenge. Has anyone stop to consider this, everything that happens in that universe is affected by the Force. What is the Force you ask. Well it depends on who you ask. It is a conscious or semi-conscious, all sensing and controlling omnipotent universal “energy”. It controls the fate off all in the universe through medi-cholrians, a microscopic sentient organism that exist in all living things. The higher the medi-chlorian count the stronger you can commune with the force and it can manipulate you. I don’t want that. I don’t want some space voodoo influencing my decisions.
The high adaptability and healing factor are self-explanatory. While a strong will and high intelligence will help me learn and adapt mentally. Only problem is that usually wounds in the force are created by tragic events, might come to bite me in ass later, but space voodoo immunity is a nice perk to have. After finalizing my decision, I post my answer. I lean back and laugh internally for my childishness for taking this so seriously. Then the surprising thing happens I get an instant reply.
Anonymous: Well interesting choices. What where you going for with these wishes?
Me: Well Instead of a Jedi/Sith, I was going for a Mandalorian bounty hunter type character.
Anonymous: Hmmm…. I see. Just out of curiosity what would your character’s back story be.

Well didn’t think that far …hmm… I think about it for a few mins.
ME: Well I would be a Mandalorian as stated before. Name would be Thrunn Straxon of clan Eldar. Being raced by family members on Mandalore.
Anonymous: Interesting answers indeed.
After that no response what so ever for a few minutes. I lose interest and keep going through my business as usual. Late at night I finally go back to sleep. At first there is just serine darkness of the abyss. Then I start seeing memories, like a movie, of a boy. Born on Mandalore, to parents
Havunn Straxon and Shasia Straxon in 55 BBY. The couple where the second generation of the Eldar clan heads and quite wealthy. He/me lives a quiet and ordinary life, well by Mandalorian standards, with member of his clan. He/me was a child genius as never seen before, finishing basic education already and started to move on to higher courses. He was being trained in the ways of a Mandalorian warrior and combat by his uncle Thrull Stal, a Mandalorian Super commando. It was all peaceful until 42 BBY and the Mandalorian civil war happens, launched by the insurgent death watch. Then everything goes awry. The insurgent attacks on Keldabe where getting serious. The war lasted a year as is. This war so far has led to the death of hundreds if not thousands of jedi and greater portion of the Mandalorian population. As a last grand strike by the insurgents attack all clan compounds and Keldabe as well. The clan Eldar compound is attacked heavily as they had sided with the True Mandalorian faction. It was a slaughter. More than 80 percent of the clan had perished. Including his parents. The memories end with him/me in a running battle, trying to escape premature death. Well key word being trying. Him/ me was cornered in an alley; the insurgents had him/me outnumbered and out gunned, they didn’t show any mercy. The last image was him/me being shot in the head with a blaster.
Nothing wakes a person up like a dream of being shot to death. Startled awake by the dream the first thing that enters my eyes is blinding light. As my eyes slowly adjust a white sterile room appears. That threw off my thought process by quite a bit. As my head and eyesight becomes normal again something peculiar enters my sight. A droid, to be specific a medical droid.
This throws me of the kilter again. Modern earth doesn’t have droids. While I was brainstorming, the aforementioned droid approaches me and says “Patient Thrunn Straxon glad to see you have finally woken up. All reading and scans appear nominal. You may be released from hospital ward after one day of observation.” After that it moves onto other patients, leaving me dazed.
Well Kriff, that connected all the dotes for me. As far as I know I got ROBed. I have read many fics with such situations. But never in my wildest dreams did I think it would happen to me. I got KRIFFIN ROBed. The survey was a trap for all intents and purposes. I lay back down on the hospital bed and started to think through the predicament I have found myself in. Somehow, I have wound up in the Star Wars universe. The dream I had, was no dream. It was the memories of the body I am currently inhabiting. The migraine I am having the after effect of being shot in the head. I am stuck lamenting about my decision to do the survey. Lamenting about the fact that I had left behind my family, friends and everyone I had loved and cared for. At least it was reassuring to know the wishes carried over. The only reassuring thing at present. I carry on with this train of thought till sleep finally takes a hold of me.
Dumbass never do surveys that asked those questions
I wil totaly do it, and be realy serious about NOT said something stupid in it (just in case) because ... well, it's fun ? And if something realy happen ? Damn man, i want it !
The MC made some smart choices. Being highly adaptable with high healing would prolong his lifespan, potentially longer than a peak force user for his race. It also opened up his possibility for being somewhat like a super hero that could constantly break their limits in training, gaining super strength, speed, dexterity, resistances, etc. if honed strategically depending on how the author works it.
I'm curious to see how the wound in the force aspect will work out. Adaptability and high intelligence could allow him to be greater than Revan if he grabbed some of his cells. Would being a wound cut that off, making him unable to ever use force powers or just prevent its influence and others finding him? I never understood if it was a two-way or one-way mirror-like situation, since a couple of fanfictions that use it do it differently. The Wiki for star wars doesn't explain it on a personal level, just large-scale area level.
He really wouldn't need the force as a bounty hunter if he lost his potential invisibility and be influenced by the dark side's shroud. However, reading minds and suggestibility would be handy. I'm sure technology could bridge the gap, though. So it's really a toss-up.
@Ombre37 True. You can't joke around with questions like these. Bored people with powers would do things like this. It's in stories thousands of years ago.
Native American, Nordic, Greek, etc. cultures all had guesting-law stories about hosts catering to guests' whims. Coyote, Thor, Odin, and Zeus are just a few who have dozens of stories where they'd screw over someone who was rude in passing, even if clearly drunk. Or, if the other person would just give them off-handed answers to get away from the God as they acted crazy to get a reaction.
Were they mostly for amusement and moral teachings? Sure. However, every legend has a kernel of truth. So, I wouldn't be surprised if someone did happen to be reincarnated into our world from another for running afoul of a higher being's whims, telling their story in a tavern somewhere out of mourning.
For those wondering when the MC woke up, it's 42BBY, so one year before Anakin Skywalker was born (i.e 41 BBY).
What does ROB stand for?
tftc
Random Omnipotent Being. They have a tendency to give humans random powers and throw them into dangerous, but often humorous settings.
If found, do not approach. Do not attempt to pray. (It's probably going to claim that the thing you pray to was created by itself on a whim.) If you do pray, remember, it can read your thoughts.
Your only hope is to get on its good side and give it a plausible reason to make you a cheat character.
@Glendstorm thanks
I don't understand why someone would purposely make weak wishes because they want a "challenge". It's dumb and no one would say no to free power for such a stupid reason.
Awesome story
It says he has all AC characters skills...
Even if this doesn’t include Eagle Vision, you’ve already made the MC too OP for him to then say “well I wouldn’t want it to be too easy”. I mean, just the AC games I’ve played you’ve automatically made your MC a consummate expert in stealth, reconnaissance and detective work, lethal and non lethal forms of incapacitation, free running, most forms of hand weaponry and most types of firearms.
In AC Odyssey, the main character is a trained Spartan who is a mythical level fighter. In AC Black Flag the main character is skilled enough to sneak on an enemy frigate, and kill everyone on board without being noticed. In AC Brotherhood, the main character literally builds up a secret organization that spans the continent using the technology of the 1500’s.
So this main character is completely immune to force powers while having a healing factor and being a genius with an iron will while having a ‘highly adaptable body’ (which could mean so many things)... so how is there supposed to be danger?
The author is most likely going to ignore most of his wishes until it's convenient for him to have them.
@Apollyon it's also f*cking stupid to be in star wars with out force powers like who the f*ck is stupid enough to deny that? Not s dingle real person given the chance could actually say no to them
@HealMeMommy Also, to my knowledge Darth Nihilus was a wound in the force and the guy was f*cking powerful.
This story, I think will turn out nicely
