I recently joined a Star Wars themed DnD style RP group out of curiosity and this is the design we settled on for my character.
We're still working on making red panda characters a viable species, but basically, Kaz is a short, fat, foul mouthed mechanic/pilot who specializes in engine repair and of course flying. They also fight purely using melee weapons and are unable to handle firearms or any sort of ballistics.
Still working on a lot of details.
Small size makes them a hard to hit target, as well as granting them the ability to sneak into small areas and climb through air ducts and the like. Claws also allow for increased climbing ability.
Poor coordination and weight slow them down and make them rely almost entirely on wit and strategy to take down opponents.
