Hey there i'm trying to make a sleazy lawyer player character inspired by Saul Goodman from Breaking Bad/Better Call Saul. I'm thinking he should have 3's in presence, cunning and possibly intelligence unless people have some better ideas. I'm thinking he should also be a Colonist but i'm having trouble deciding what specs he should have. At first I was thinking it should be Entrepreneur/Charmer but then I thought Scholar/Charmer might make more sense since it requires a lot of knowledge to be a lawyer. On the other hand maybe this guy got his degree from a not so reputable college. What do you guys think? Also what race do you think would fit well for this character? Could go human but maybe something else is a better fit, possibly Rodian?
Looking To Make A Sleazy Lawyer
Advocate from Desperate Allies and maybe Politico.
Is there any other kind?...
Brett your name sounds familiar, I am trying to figure out how I might know you, are you related to a Jim Davis?

Different Jim Davis, the one I am referring to is an US Air Force veteran, a true American hero who bled for his country (survived getting shot in the leg by a 50 cal during a rescue mission in Afghanistan), a good friend of mine who I admire greatly and who I can't say enough good things about.

That's better than drawing a cartoon about a cat then.
For Edge: Smuggler (Charmer)

I was going to suggest this.
Charmer/analyst/advocate
If you're willing to pull from Force and Destiny and Force Sensitivity fits the underlying story, I think a Mystic - Advisor hits a good balance of basic knowledge skills, only really missing Education, and the key social abilities. Otherwise, the above suggestions all are very workable depending on the XP investment and character flavor.
As for species, I'd honestly say go with a Nemodian. If I imagine a sleazy type they spring to mind quickly for me thanks to Nute Gunray.
Edited by SileoI would say a number of skills are important for a Sleazy Lawyer:
Deception (you did say sleazy)
Knowledge Education (got to actually know the law)
Discipline (to keep your head in an argument)
Negotiation (got to convince the judge somehow)
additional useful skills:
Charm or Coercion (depending on the character, for when your not actually lying your pants off)
Underworld (your going to know some crims for sure)
Cool and Vigilance (got to be able to roll with the punches and know when to attack)
So what Career ticks most of those boxes? Colonist of course.
Of the Colonist Specialisations i would say there are a couple of choices.
Politico is a great fit, Scathing Tirade, Plausible Deniability, Kill with Kindness and Nobody's Fool all fit the theme very well.
Marshal is also great, if you only follow the centre columns and ignore the combat parts, its more the down in the streets Lawyer.
Finally Entrepreneur is great too, Sound Investments could be from being partner in a Law Firm, Greased Palms is very sleazy, so is Wheel and Deal. Bought Info has a lot of uses for a Lawyer.
That would make Entrepreneur my pick, with any of Politico, Marshal or Scholar a great paring depending on the direction your wanting to take it
And Neimoidian is definitely the sleaze bag of Star Wars!
