Character Information:
Character Name: Chewbacca
Age: 200 (the average lifespan for wookiees is 600, so this works out to be about comparable to him being in his 30s)
Canon: Star Wars
Appearance: Chewbacca is a wookiee, and as such he follows the general appearance of that race: tall, humanoid and covered head to foot in thick fur. Chewie’s fur is in varying shades of brown, and he stands at roughly seven and a half feet, which makes him almost ridiculously easy to pick out in a crowd. Given that his fur provides an adequate covering, he doesn’t wear anything save for a bandolier which holds spare bowcaster bolts.
Personality:
While it might be easy to assume that Chewbacca is little more than a brute going on appearance and the fact that he doesn’t speak much - or not in a language that most people can understand - the truth is very nearly the exact opposite. True, the level of technology on his home planet might not be as developed as on some, but that hardly means he’s not capable and there’s certainly no denying that he’s quite a dab hand with electronics. As a matter of fact, he isn’t at all above spending his free time trying to wring a bit more power out of the assorted bits and pieces of the Falcon, to the point that he’s almost her main mechanic.
Chewie can be stubborn, and quick to anger - and dislikes losing - but once given, his loyalty is unwavering and in the case of a life debt (like is the case with Han) that loyalty can be extended to the members of that person’s family as well. He would die to protect them if he had, and without hesitation. Of course, he’d much rather fight than die: he has the heart of a warrior, be it for good or ill with more than enough bravery to match it. To be honest if it weren’t for the fact that he rather enjoys a good adventure, he’d probably make a decent leader for his people (and has, in fact, taken a similar role in at least one point in his life). Since his life is so thoroughly characterized by adventure (usually Han’s), he usually settles for acting like Han’s conscience on the occasions such a thing is warranted. He does, however, make a point return to home and his family to celebrate the holidays every year.

Canon point: I’ll be taking Chewie from roughly mid-Empire Strikes Back. More specifically, shortly after Han heads out to rescue Luke from out of the snowstorm. I’m taking him from this point partly because it’s an interesting place, plotwise and also because it’ll lead a good deal less time-based awkwardness in interactions with Han.

Special Abilities: Given that Chewie’s a wookiee, he has the natural set of wookiee abilities, which is to say that apart from being strong enough to tear a man’s arms out of their sockets if he feels so inclined he also has a full set of retractable claws. However, in accordance with wookiee custom, Chewie only uses them to climb trees. In addition to these, he’s also a good mechanic, as well as a good pilot.
Sect: Civilian
Job: n/a
Samples:
First Person: [The feed comes on to catch what is unmistakably a very displeased wookiee. Tables are, luckily, not yet being flipped but it looks like it might be a very distinct possibility should things not actually start looking up in the fairly near future. For those who happen to be able to understand the various growls that make up the native tongue of a wookiee, he’s asking two relatively simple questions. First and foremost, he’d like to know where this is, because this is most definitely not Hoth by any stretch of the imagination. Second, he’d like to know the whereabouts of one Han Solo. He’s not leaving him behind twice.
For those who can’t understand wookiee, well. Enjoy the assortment of angry growls.]
Third Person: Running errands wasn’t anything new for Chewie. Not actually having the Falcon to do in was - he hadn’t even got her systems running the way he wanted yet! - but it seemed that Han was dealing well enough without her, and he supposed he could at least try this ship. If he managed to find the time, he might even see about modifying her as well. It didn’t take a lot to notice that she wasn’t running anywhere near peak performance yet.
Naturally, there wasn’t anything to be done while they were actually in flight, but that wasn’t going to stop him from at least planning out the basics of what would at least start to get the ship in better working condition. That and it kept him from thinking about why they were transporting blue milk of all things. It hadn’t seemed like it was really something that there’d be all that much of a market for. And then there was the inconvenience of actually carrying a cargo that could potentially spoil (never again, after this). A job was a job though, and he supposed he couldn’t really complain about the possibility of payment.
It didn’t mean that he didn’t think this Jolee Bindo person was stranger than just about anyone he’d met, though. There was only so far logic could actually be stretched.
Anything Else: Nope!
