Character Background

• Grew up during the Clone Wars, inspired by footage and reports from the holonet to join the Military .
• Focused solely on a career with the Imperial Army through his younger years.
• After seeing how the Empire treated other species he chose not to join. With no other skills he became a hired gun.
• A skilled fighter and capable leader of men, he takes jobs where he can find them.
• Doesn't care for the Empire but will work for them because they pay.
• Not convinced the Alliance can unite the galaxy with their failure to take the core. Sees them as Separatists 2.0 but will work for them if they offer enough credits.
• Refuses to work with the Hutts. Has been screwed over by them or their lackeys too many times.

Raw Material

• Has many friends still on Corellia. Visits when he can.
• Experience and leadership abilities have him recognized as at least a Sargeant, but more often the NON-COM position of Staff Sargeant.
• Believes in victory through tactics, strategy, and not having to completely annihilate the enemy.
• Collects Clone Wars era memorabilia and reads romance novels. His favorite is "The Twi'lek Connection".
• Isn't an officer because he, "works for a living".
• Owes favors to several Spacers due to needing rides to get to jobs on different sides of the galaxy.
• Sometimes is remembered for collateral damage caused by men under his command and is looked down on or paid less because of it.
• The Cold War has been good for mercenary work. Proxy wars and battles are keeping hired guns busy.

Plot Ideas

• Training a group of Stormtroopers on being better soldiers and better thinkers. The Troopers later defect.
• Has a adversarial relationship with a few members of the ISB who think he'll lead them to a big target. Really they're mistaken.
• Mission to rescue/capture a VIP with opposing sides pressuring him for the VIP.

One thing to be mindful of is the timeframe of the setting. It’s over a decade since the battle of Endor, and the Rebel Alliance has become a nation - The Alliance of Free Planets. So it’s worth noting that the good guys can certainly pay for the help now, though whether it’s competitive pay is another story

[Rayfe_Avery]

Hey Rai'faani,
I managed to make the correction and add a little bit more. I'm still not sure what to put for current plots because I'm not sure whose, if anyone's, in progress thread to join and existing relationships is a similar problem. Plot ideas are easier to fill in once I get my feet wet.
What are your thoughts?

[Loklorien s'Ilancy]

Don't worry about current plots too much, a lot of folks haven't filled all of theirs out either, since that portion is very fluid and you can come back and add in things as you go along.

I gotta say, I'm loving your raw material section. The little quirks and interests - to me - are what give a character depth, and this little factoid of him liking romance novels is fantastic

[Rayfe_Avery]

Thank you Loklorien. I believe you have to add a few simple character traits so they feel like fully fleshed out characters before they get a lot of screen time.
Hopefully I'll start Role Playing soon because I'm afraid if I don't that I'll just keep making additions.

You've got some great details that make for some solid character depth.
