BACKGROUND:
I have spent most of my adult life traveling from one place to another hiring myself to various people for my technical & mechanics skills I possess.
I have a way around engines and such but am most happy when I am working on computers and other technical devices. I consider myself very friendly and outspoken and am easy to get along with, "for the most part" although I will admit, I do have a unique personality. I consider myself very intelligent and am always keenly aware of everything going on around me.
I take whatever job that I can find fixing things or just simply doing odd jobs for whatever employer will hire me. Eventually my luck did run out however when I agreed to take a shipment of merchandise to an undisclosed location in the Tatooine system where I found some rather distastful pirates. My cargo was stolen and I was placed in chains. Through no small bit of thinking on my feet, I showed these brigants that my talents could benefit them and I was allowed to maintain equipment and such for them. My luck did run out eventually though when I was "loaned out" to a Hutt Gangster on Tatooine named Teemo the Hutt. From that point on, things started to come undone. I admit, Teemo paid me quite well for my services. My most recent assignment was to accompany a pilot named Jasper to deliver a cargo hold full of merchandise to one of the Hutt's buyers.
Before we could deliver the goods, we were ambushed by a band of pirates who attacked and boarded our ship. The cargo was stolen and we were left with nothing but an unflyable freighter. After Jasper sold off the wreckage to make enough money to book passage back to Tatooine to explain to Teemo the Hutt what had happened we heading back to the Hutt's palace. The explaining was not what we had hoped for and shortly after the decision was made that he and I should make a hasty exit from the Hutt's employment. Eventually we did escape "although it did take some work". I'm sure we have not heard the last of this particular Hutt lord but for now we are safe.
Since our escape, I have been working for Mr. Wick, owner of Vanguard Station & Wick Shipping earing a decent living. Life has been good "for the most part" but I am always looking over my shoulder. Teemo the Hutt has a very long reach and I would hate to let my guard down.
Some people say I am a bit jaded and cynical at first which I guess I can relate to having seeing much of the worst the galaxy had to offer me at a young age. I have always been very careful to not get too atached to anyone or anything. I consider myself a professional mechanic/tech and I take a serious approach to my work, focusing on results rather then any emotional considerations.

BACKGROUND:
It's been a hard run for me as a legitimate, honest, hard working smuggler ... even though some might call me a con-man or rogue - "none of that is true of course". First I was ejected from the Republic flight school for "insubordination" which is apparently a fancy word for "stealing a shuttle for a quick flight around the planet to impress a young woman". Then my favorite speeder bike was impounded when I fell "slightly behind" on a few debt payments "that I fully intended to pay off". I was then arrested for "allegedly" grifting "petty or small-scale swindling" on the streets of Coruscant "all of which was totally untrue .... well, for the most part".
After these totally false accusations I was then transported for hard labor in the spice mines of Kessel, which was apparently some noble's way of getting back at me for something involving his daughter. During the trip to Kessel the ship I was on was attacked by pirates and I was pressed-ganged into service. Somehow through a series of unfortunate events, I was handed over to a particularly nasty Hutt Gangster named Teemo the Hutt and informed I was now under his employ and was to be flying his ships for him.
Recently, I have been flying cargo ships for the Hutt lord in and out of the small spaceport of Mos Shuuta on Tatooine. In some ways it has been the most boring and peaceful eight weeks of my life. In other ways, I keep getting shot at by pirates and customs officials and having to do risky landings in remote, dangerous places, so it's terrifying at the same time. On my most recent mission, my ship, a rusty old Ghtroc 720 light freighter named the Ao Var, was damaged beyond repair when it was attacked and boarded by pirates. The cargo that I was carrying aboard the ship was also stolen. I was forced to sell the ship for parts in order to have the money to book passage back to Tatooine for myself "and Synergy - since she accompanied me on this cargo haul" to explain to the Hutt lord what had happened. Teemo the Hutt was not happy, since the ship was technically his property and the loss of his cargo did not help matters either. Since I was foced to use the money from selling the ship for transport back to Tatooine I could not even offer him the money from the sale of his ship. This is when I figured it best that I leave the Hutt's service "which apparently Teemo was not happy about that either ... sometimes you just can't make anyone happy". So I teamed up with my good friend Synergy and we made our escape.
I have since started working for Mr. Wick, owner of Vanguard Station & Wick Shipping. I am enjoying the work I do for Mr. Wick and am being well compensated for my efforts. I keep telling Synergy that one day we will have earned enough money where we can go into business for ourselves "even though she just chuckles at the idea" I know that one day it will come true. I'm sure after all this time ... Teemo has given up on searching for us which is a good thing, it gives me more time to focus on the future.
Despite a long life of misfortune, I consider myself lucky - and perhaps I am. After all, if I hadn't been arrested and transported off of Coruscant, I might not ever had gotten out of jail. Come to think of it ... I do have a knack and coming through bad times unscathed. I really am an "excellent" pilot and pretty good at a lot of other things as well and my easy-going nature is one whom things come to easily.
