His family was involved with the Spice Trade, smuggling it towards Hutt Space and other various criminal organizations (including the First Order). Kospirian never really thought about the illegal nature of the trade as it was not something talked about on planet; it was just another business. His ‘job’ within the family business was to act as a spy against the other families to make sure everyone was dealing with each other 'honestly'.  This all changed for him when he encountered a group of smugglers that were using slave labor to transport their goods. This awakened a powerful sense against the injustices of not only slave trade but the illegal spice trade itself (as it relied so much of other criminal infrastructure). Kospirian helped the slave escape and got them off world, leaving himself when his family found out. They did not turn him in to the local enforcers but they made it clear he was not welcome on world any longer. For a time he wandered a bit, working as a space hand on some bulk freighters, keeping to himself. It was in these few years of early wandering that he started noticing things that others did not. At first he thought he might be going crazy, until fate would draw him towards the Outer-Rim World of <a href="http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Akiva" target="_blank">Akiva</a> and a native <a href="http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Ahia-Ko" target="_blank">Ania-Ko</a> shaman who help him connect with his natural Force Abilities. The shamans of this world were very water-focused in their understanding of the Force and Kospirian picked up a bit of this also. He always carries a couple of small vials of ‘pure’ water from the planet on his person, sort of acting as a talisman or lucky charm.After a few months spend with the shaman, Kospirian returned to the Galaxy at large and found himself working for the Resistance against the First Order. He is not really admitted to anyone about his Force abilities but he wants to…Kospirian’s first mission for the Resistance was attacking a smuggler ring that was shipping supplies to the First Order. He helps free a number of slaves found among the ships and some independent droids. One he believed to be Force Sensitive like himself. Personality Kospirian tries to act honorably in all things but his hatred of the Empire and the First Order means that he compramises this values in the face of what he considers “true evil”. Otherwise he is pretty honest and upfront with most people (except about him being Force Sensitive. He is a bit paranoid about how those connected to the Force were treaded during the Empire and it still lingers after its fall). Kospirian would also like nothing better than to end the Spice trade and turn his family to a more honest trade. He knows there are other goods and services that Chyya could supply to the great Galaxy, its’ just that Spice is so lucrative. He is still a bit too young to wonder about what he would like to do when he retires but he would not mind being able to return to the family and settling down with a nice mirialin lady and maybe having a family of his own. But that is after the First Order is destroyed, the Spice trade removed from Chyya and freeing as many slaves as he can. Finally Kospirian believes strongly in the freedoms of the individual and has a burning hatred of slavery and similar indentured servitude. One of the main reason he joined the Resistance was that the First Order had continued some of the worst atrocities of the Empire, including the use of slave labor.  While he is not especially against smugglers, he hates anyone who uses slaves or is a slave trader. This can also apply to droids in special cases as he has seen enough evidence of the emergences of true ‘sentient’ in more than a few individual models. Motivation: Freedom (hates slavery in all its form, believes strongly in the rights of the individual), Honor (personally honest and keeps word, acts in what he thinks/feels in an honorable way when dealing with others whom deserve it.), Redemption (Family; wishes to end the Spice trade on his homeworld and get his family to accept some new line of work)Comments about questions <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />1. See above in what his sort of ‘goal and motivation’ with this family.2. For connections with other players I think Kospirian could have been on any of the raids that free either ‘Rex’ or Arsinoe.3. Kospirian has wandered the galaxy a bit, especially when working for various traders. He likes moving around especially when he first left his family. He is 100% a drifter type even now. I might pick up the Knowledge but points are real tight <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> because of the Force specialty. 4. What brought Kospirian to Kabal depends probably mostly one where the Resistance has sent him. He would volunteer for any number of missions that they might have that lead him here, especially dealing with slavery and the smuggling of Spice (that might be used to support the First Order). 5. Kospirian totally buys into the Resistances goals, of ending the First Order. One cannot make peace with those that wish to crush those that oppose them and anyone not human being worth almost nothing in many cases.6. I have not read it either (HAHA) I just saw some images of the natives and that they had a Force Tradition and decided to use it for my background also.7. As mentioned in an earlier posts I plan on focusing on the Universal and the Foreseen Power path for Kospirian. I don’t imagine that he went to Akiva on purpose but more like Fate drew him there (thinking a bit of Obi-One’s spirits telling Luke to go to Dagobah to seek out Yoda). But I will think about this some more as yes it does seem it could reflect something about Kospirian ‘personality’ and connection with the Force.8. Yes the biggest direct tragedy for Kospirian is his family. He still loves them but is ashamed by their actions and attitudes. Why would they support the First Order with their spice trade when they know that if given the chance they would probably enslave his race also?9. I am going to go with Duty instead as I mentioned earlier. I think I will take the higher level to get +10XP so I could purchase a level of Knowledge (Outer Rim) also.</blockquote>
