Hi everyone, and welcome back to You Build the Character. Last month we covered bounty hunters, but there was one in particular who was overlooked - the gun-toting, hat-tipping, slow-drawling Cad Bane. You have until 11.59pm (PT) on Thursday 22 December to post your RPG stats, and any notes you want to post explaining your decisions. Once submissions have closed, all forum members will have until 11.59pm (PT) on Thursday 5 January to vote for their favourite. Whichever build receives the most votes will win.
The prize for winning is having your stats enshrined in the YBtC Hall of Fame, as well as the bragging rights.
The following rules apply to all submissions:
All builds must be created according to RAW, with no house rules (no single Athletics skill, no bonus feats for bloodlines etc).
You may use "unlimited" point buy for Bane's ability scores, provided each score is between 3 and 18 at first level (before racial and age adjustments).
You are free to use material from all official Saga Edition books, up to and including The Unknown Regions.
Your stats may represent Cad Bane at any point during his life, or serve as an overall interpretation of the character as a whole. You may even include multiple stats to represent multiple points in time, provided they are all different level versions of the same build (ie no swapping out talents or feats).
Cad Bane is a Duros, and as such uses the Duros species traits provided on page 25 of the core rulebook.
You may change your stats at any point up until submissions close, at which point any edited stats will be disqualified.
Have fun everyone, and may the Force be with you.

I am both rational and emotional. I value creation and discovery, and feel strongly about what I create. At best, I'm innovative and intuitive. At worst, I'm scattered and unpredictable.
I'm assuming we're also not allowed to create our own equipment, right? EDIT: In other words, we can list his equipment but then say (treat as...)
Actually, creating custom equipment is fine, just so long as you include the stats for the equipment with the main stat block (this isn't necessary if you go the "treat as..." route).

I forget, are we allowed to use the Background optional rules?
I did with my Chewbacca entry.
Children believe what we tell them, they have complete faith in us. I ask of you a little of this childlike simplicity, and to bring us luck, let me speak four truly magic words: "A long time ago...." (Jean Cocteau's Beauty and the Beast)
I forget, are we allowed to use the Background optional rules?
Yes, backgrounds are allowed, provided you follow the rules set out in the Rebellion Era Campaign Guide (backgrounds replace destinies, one background per character, species can't choose their homeworld as a background etc).
