YAY!!! (does happy dance)
I've got a character concept all thought out...
I'm gonna be...
A Gungun Force Adept/Noble!
Reads back through thread...
Oh, wait... scrap that idea...
I'll give a little background, and put together a character around it ASAP.
Korin Odali, Alderaani Noble/Soldier
Born the third son of a lesser noble of Alderaan, Korin never quite fit in with his siblings; he was always a little more clever, sometimes just a little quicker, and was possessed of a terrible knack for being just where he should be for the best results. This served him well throughout his youth -- being so far removed from any real succession, Korin saw to pressing the flesh and shmoozing his way into a nice detail with the Alderaani military, which allowed him to get away from the hoe-hum days in his family's estate and see the stars...
It was on very cushy detail to Coruscant, probably a few parsecs out away from arrival at the capital planet, that Korin fell to the floor screaming, like someone had tried to smash open his head from the inside... when they landed, he knew already... but it took several days to confirm that Alderaan was gone. At that point, he dropped out of sight, working his rimward -- as far away from the Empire as possible.
Korin is sure there was a reason he wasn't on Alderaan when it was destroyed, and he intends to find out how many other Alderaani survived. To do that, though, he needs money and resources... luckily for him, some of those ties forged on Alderaan extend off the planet.
