physical description: 5'8" and lanky Bothan with dark grey fur and long, dyed hair hanging over his eyes. Though hard to tell on a furred species, he does have sideburns. He wears several layers of clothing, with at least one layer that has large pockets. His eyes are a honey-gold. He abhors being told to move his hair from his eyes, and only does so when practicing his aim. His ears are elfish, and his physiology generally humanoid, apart from a canid face.

personality: On the surface, Koda's very soft spoken and seemingly mild. He speaks slowly and sometimes with delay, unless he's discussing a topic he's covered many times before. This leads to the impression that the stairs don't fully reach the attic. His emotional range tends to be very subdued most of the time, in an almost flat calm. He dislikes physical contact and criticisms about his appearance or "directionless" behavior.

He's quite passionate about banned media, determined to hear as many live bands and see as many illegal films as possible and become knowledgable about both. He often attempts to work out the anti-Imperial agenda in these works that lead to their being banned, and will talk about them to any who will listen. Unfortunately, theses passions take presidence over his occupations, and he has been known to leave work on more than one ocassion to see a film or a musician.

As he prefers to hide his emotions before they are strong enough to detect, Koda works through his emotions either by working on small electronics ... or by firing a blaster pistol at stationary targets. While he is unwilling to use lethal force on living things, he's become a practiced shot. Both of these activities, however, are accompanied by listening to extremely loud music.

Koda often chews a slim gimer stick when working or practicing his aim. He keeps several stashed in his vest pockets.
