Xanamiar
Member since: 2007Xanamiar Knight is my Bothan Jedi Master.... He died some time ago in a battle against a Sith Master, and a dark Jedi. After killing the Dark Jedi, he was faced with just the Sith Lord. The battle lasted for a while, and ended with Xanamiar's blade cutting through the Sith Lord, as the Sith's blade sliced through Xan. At that moment he became one with the force, leaving behind his blade and his clothing. He's been seen a few times since as a "Force Ghost" by Crystal Roshia and Cazzik Wyn.
What I'm looking for is either a picture of him standing agains the Sith Lord, or just by himself, I'll let the artist decide.
Xanamiar is of dark colored fur, and about average height for a bothan. He was a mix between Obi-Wan's personality and Qui-Gon Jinn (he had a lot of Qui-Gon's mannerisms....
He was a padawan of Master Poof, and taught how to use mind tricks very effectively. Xan didn't have to use his blade all that often, but when he did, he was proficient enough to get things done.
If anyone is interested in taking this on, and wants any other details, I'm more than willing to provide them... THanks for reading it over.
EDIT: (Don't wanna bump it) Just wantedto mention that his saber is a dual sided saber like the one Darth Maul uses... didn't realize I didn't put that in here... Anyway.. Thanks to anyone who reads this :)
EDIT: Also didn't realize that I had a less than sign in here, making the rest of the paragraph go away... should watch that more often...
If this portrait were to be drawn, I'm curious as to which particular representation of Bothans you imagined him as. The SW Galaxies version, the Galaxies concept version, the New Essential Guide to Aliens version...
They all seem a little different...

I would be happy with any of the three honestly. :) ... I'm most familiar with the Galaxies two versions, but the other looks cool as well.
Those three are basically the same design, based on Oliver Vatine's pencils for the Heir To The Empire comics. He apparently redid the earlier designs for the Bothans, first illustrated by Allen Nunis in the Heir To The Empire Sourcebook from West End Games. The earlier Bothans had a flatter face and flared nostrils.
*cough*GEEK*Cough*
Anyway... which ever of the three is fine, I agree that they all look like they come from the same source...
Secondly, he's right, I saw the other pics from the comics, but I didn't like those, I like the SWG ones :)
Hey there! I think I'll bite on this one. I do like me some Bothan!
Just a couple of little questions: does he wear standard robes, and what sort of colours (darker or lighter browns, or something a bit different)? And does he do anything specific with his hair/fur/whatever you call it?
He wears the traditional robes for the most part... darker colors... and nothing really specific.
Okay, thanks! I was hoping you'd say that ;) I love drawing Jedi robes. I'll have some lineart up in a blog shortly, I hope.
Thanks.
Lineart's up! http://www.swagonline.net/node/4137
