Special Abilities (Gotal):

Energy Sensitivity: +2D bonus to Perception to detect hidden emotions or Force activity.

Overwhelming Energy Drawback: If multiple Force users are nearby (or a particularly powerful one), Vael must make a Moderate Stamina roll or be overwhelmed (stunned or unconscious for 1D rounds). 

Losing Oneself in the Crowd:  Must make an hourly Moderate stamina check in urban or crowded environments. This also triggers PTSD-like symptoms (GM discretion, usually running or hiding away for 5d6 minutes).

Directional Senses: As before (+1D to Survival checks for navigating terrain).

Equipment:

Blaster Pistol
Rugged Trailcloak with Sensor-Masking Lining
Comlink 
Old Diplomatic Signet Ring 
Coded Datapad of pre-Clone Wars trade routes
Pocket holoprojector 

Vael was once the silver-tongued voice of his people, representing Gotal interests in high-stakes negotiations during the Clone Wars. But when Jedi entered the summit chamber unexpectedly, the sudden burst of Force energy overwhelmed his sensitive physiology. He collapsed, unconscious, and awoke in a Republic holding cell—traumatized, disoriented, and sure of betrayal.

Though later released without harm, that moment shattered him. He left his position and vanished from the galactic diplomatic scene, drifting into the wilderness of outer rim worlds. He took up work as a guide, rebuilding his strength slowly, year by year.

But the scars remain. Cities are too loud. People are too emotional. Force-users are abominations. If he ever crosses paths with a Jedi again, his blaster will speak before words do.
