Trick

CT-3301, known as Trick, was a clone trooper of the Grand Army of the Republic who served under Captain Hawks during the Clone Wars. During a Separatist attack on Antine, Trick pushed Hawks to safety and suffered a severe head injury in the process. Although he eventually recovered, the Republic declared him medically unfit for continued military service. Rather than accept removal from the fighting altogether, Trick left regular service and joined Hawks as one of the first members of the newly formed Zero Company.

Trick returned to active combat as Zero Company became involved in the campaign against Kundri Fathom and the Infinite Coil, a Separatist-aligned paramilitary organization attempting to spread a deadly shadow plague. His experience as a clone soldier made him one of the company’s most dependable frontline operators as its mixed force of former Republic personnel, Separatist veterans, mercenaries, and other specialists pursued the Infinite Coil across the galaxy.

Appearance: Trick has medium brown skin and a tall, broad-shouldered, muscular build with a thick chest, powerful arms, and sturdy legs. His short black hair is cut close to the scalp, and the right side of his head and face is marked by extensive rough burn scarring that spreads from the temple down across the cheek. A dark angular wraparound visor covers the eye area when his helmet is removed. His armor is built around heavily weathered off-white plates over a black textured body glove, with scratches, grime, chipped paint, and darkened edges across nearly every exposed surface. His full phase 1 clone helmet is an enclosed off-white shell with a raised fin-like crest running along the crown, a broad black T-shaped visor, squared cheek plates, a projecting lower face guard, and small vents near the chin. The right side of the helmet carries extensive damage and roughened scar-like scoring around the visor and temple. A narrow muted orange-brown marking runs near the upper visor edge. His left shoulder is covered by a rounded red-orange pauldron marked with a bold white angular emblem, while the opposite shoulder uses a plain worn off-white plate. A large cylindrical metal canister rises vertically behind one shoulder as part of his back-mounted equipment.

His chest is protected by asymmetrical off-white armor with tan-brown discoloration, scuffs, and a dark diagonal weapon strap crossing the torso. Broad forearm guards cover both arms, with black gloves enclosing the hands and dark flexible fabric visible around the elbows. A utility belt circles his waist with multiple rectangular off-white pouches and dark brown securing straps. His thighs are covered mainly by black fabric, reinforced with brown straps and small hard-shell attachments, while off-white knee plates and long shin guards protect the lower legs. His boots are heavy, armored, and dirt-stained, with broad soles, buckled ankle sections, and angular plates covering the feet.

Personality: Trick is a disciplined and consummate soldier whose dry, laconic humor conceals the psychological weight of years spent fighting the Clone Wars. He remains fiercely loyal to the Republic and to the comrades he considers his brothers, even after being declared unfit for its army. Away from combat, he has a strong fondness for games of chance and is comfortable taking calculated risks when circumstances demand them.

Trick is a disciplined, experienced soldier whose laconic humor hides the emotional scars left by years of warfare. He remains intensely loyal to his comrades and to the Republic despite being declared medically unfit for military service, and his fondness for games of chance reflects a willingness to accept calculated risks. His strongest loyalty is to Hawks, his former commanding officer; Trick nearly died saving Hawks on Antine and later chose to follow them into Zero Company after both were pushed out of Republic service.

Within Zero Company, Trick works alongside Jae Mordant, Runa Blask, Tel-Rea Vokoss, Cly Kullervo, and the other operators assembled against the Infinite Coil. His most openly difficult relationship is with Luco Bronc, whose resentment toward the Republic over the invasion of Umbara clashes directly with Trick’s continued loyalty to it; the two can nevertheless develop a stronger battlefield partnership through shared missions

Trick is a veteran clone soldier trained in infantry tactics, squad combat, heavy weapons, and sustained frontline engagements. Years of warfare have made him highly proficient with Republic blaster weapons and capable of holding exposed positions under heavy enemy fire while supporting the rest of Zero Company.

His weapons include a DC-15A blaster rifle, DC-15A blaster carbine, and RPS-6 rocket launcher, giving him both conventional ranged firepower and the ability to engage heavily protected or clustered targets with explosives.
