Hoth

Hoth is a Bogon, Demon Bearer mercenary in the sci-fi Valks campaign.

## Biography

Hoth Ptinidae was born into the warrior caripiece skirmishers faction of bogon society. Hoth was a mix of between a spider Bogon and a Beetle Bogon but due to their unquie mutations it is also believed they could be a mix of other bug bogon species too. Hoth was one of the very few children that survived birth and the three day bucket exposure when he was born. Because of his mutations, Hoth was naturally strong and athletic growing up making him an ideal warrior for his society but theses mutations are also believed to be the reason he produces certain pheromones and other features that make him appear female to other Bogons. Hoth was often mis gendered and picked upon by other Bogons for his mutations (good and bad). This would be the main reason that lead to Hoth leaving his home and using his warrior background to go down the mercenary rout which is not an uncommon path for his faction to go down.

During his early career as a mercenary, Hoth would be lucky enough to win Howels original Luga in an auction which would go onto be his signature quick draw weapon. Sometime before ANX 150, Hoth would find himself working under the Valkeries mercenary guild where he spent most of his time doing odd jobs alone as a mercenary to make a living.

Behind Hoth's intimidating appearance is a very insecure and naive Bogon. Due to the fact he is constantly misgendered and insulted he often feels afraid or embarrassed when interacting with people. it is due to these's insecurities that Hoth has stayed alone for most of his career. The lack of interactions with other people has also made him naive when it comes to socialising with other people often having to be reminded about personal space and boundaries. Despite all this Hoth tries his best to keep on a brave face and stay positive.
