character information
name: Armitage Hux
canon: Star Wars: the Force Awakens
canon point: Following his second meeting with Snoke, in which he gets the order to destroy the Ileenium system.
age: 34

(canon) background: here

abilities:

Hux is a normal human and has no superhuman abilities, however, he is proficient in the following:

Leadership: Hux commands the First Order and as such, has commendable leadership and oratory skills. The men and women serving under him are completely loyal, which is a testament to this. (Example: Personnel on Starkiller Base were calm and had the resolve to fight a losing battle against the Resistance until they realized that Hux was no longer among them to command and keep morale up.)

Military Strategy/Tactics: As general of the First Order, who received officer training from Arkanis Academy where his father was commandant and began commanding subordinates from an extremely young age, Hux is trained and skilled with military tactics and strategy.

Weaponry/Fighting: Due to his extensive military training, he is proficient in the use of various weapons and is supposed to be a competent marksman, which makes up for where he lacks--particularly, hand-to-hand combat, although he does have martial arts training.

Knowledge of science and technology: Due to overseeing his father's program, his position in the First Order, and growing up in a technologically advanced society, Hux is knowledgeable about science and technology within the Star Wars-universe. Among other things, this includes the technology/weaponry on star destroyers, such as the Finalizer, and the mobile planet-sized superweapon Starkiller Base which he designed and commands along with Kylo Ren and Captain Phasma. He also has practical knowledge of programs used for simulation and conditioning within the Storm Trooper program.

Pragmatism and Compartmentalization: Hux was raised in a brutal society where there is no room for weakness. As such, he is generally in control of his emotions and able to separate himself from situations as needed. This allows him to make decisions that would otherwise be difficult; he can justify using a superweapon to destroy five planets as a necessary act of war, one that could've prevented further violence. At the same time, he doesn't believe in excess.

strengths:

Intelligence: Hux is extremely intelligent, having received extensive training in STEM-related fields, history, politics, and military strategy/tactics within the Star Wars galaxy. He is able to synthesize information and use it to his advantage--be it for innovative ideas to further the First Order's arsenal, or used for galaxy-wide propaganda broadcasts.

Ambition: Raised in a highly competitive environment where there were limited resources, Hux knew from a young age that he needed to claw his way up to the top of the food chain were he to survive. Not only does he have the drive to be at the top, he believes he's destined to rule the galaxy.

Adaptability: Hux is a rather pragmatic individual; he is more than aware that to both survive and to reach the desired outcome in a given situation, he has to play the Game. Because of this, he would fit well into the quarantine--he would be willing to do what's required of him if only to get what he wants, which, in this case, would be to return to his post on Starkiller Base as soon as possible.

Dedication: Hux firmly believes in the ideology of the First Order, and his commitment to the organization is unwavering. Not only does this make him an invaluable hard-worker, but it also inspires those who work under him--to the point where even in an emergency, his officers are able to stay calm and focused on their duties until they realize he is no longer among them.

weaknesses:

Ego/Pride: Hux is aware that he is extremely intelligent and is confident in his abilities. As a result he is an extremely proud, arrogant man. In given situations, his ego gets the best of him--blinding him from being able to admit that there could be faults in things that has his name attached to it. (However, it is important to note that he can take responsibility for failings of missions/etc.)

Insular/Isolated/Aloof: Having a prickly personality, Hux is often curt and abrasive. In a professional sense, he is an efficient leader who is respected by his underlings--but it's just that. He doesn't make it easy for people to get close to him; he would much rather dedicate all of his time work and related obligations.

Fanaticism: Hux grew up hearing stories about the glory of the Empire and in his lifetime has only seen the chaos throughout the galaxy which he blames on the incompetence of the New Republic. There is no doubt in his mind that a more central, authoritative military government is the only way to end the chaos and suffering throughout the known worlds. Not only does he firmly believe in the ideology in which he was raised, he believes it to an extent that makes him not only unwilling and unable to change his worldview, but also dangerous.

skills (optional): advanced programming, engineering, and architectural skills; military training; proven leadership
housing (optional): if available, he would prefer a private unit.
