---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES:
[+] Skilled at the stick: Drake is a skilled Pilot. Not the best in the galaxy, but enough to get him out of a scrape
[+] Fighter: Drake is versed well in close quarters combat as well as ranged combat. He seldom is caught flat footed without a weapon.
[+] Master Tinkerer: Drake is a master mechanic of sorts. The man can easily strip down, study and reassemble most systems and weapons. His ingenious leads to small innovations and tweaks in systems and weapons that enhance their value
[-] Wanted: Despite being imprisoned by the Republic, Drakes criminal file is still somewhere at large within the Alliance Justice System. He has enemies among the crime lords as well. Most notable the Rodian Crimelord Narha
[-] A little insane: Drake's long time in prison under the Sith regime leads him to be a little unstable. There's no telling when he'll flip the switch from calm and collected to raving mad. His risky behaviour can be a liability.
[-] Sensitive ears: Loud noises affect Drake doubly. So much time in prison and threat ladden environments leads him to trigger over the faintest of sounds. Some say he's a bit too paranoid
[-] Savage: Drake has little Tact. He says what's on his mind and lets it fly.
APPEARANCE:
Prologue
Drake is commonly clad in a dirty green spacer jacket. A battle belt adorns his hips, with multiple pouches strapped to the webbing. A knife hangs at the small of his back. He wears a dual shoulder holster rig, and carries two weapons at all times. sometimes Blasters, sometimes slugthrowers.Moving down past the belt he wears either his green spacers trousers, or his blue ones, with red Corellian bloodstripes. His face is frequently unshaven, with stubble and his hair a greasy black mess. Wild eyes stare from beneath furrowed brows.
He is a serious looking adversary.
BIOGRAPHY:
Drake was born on Corellia way before the planet was destroyed. For a time he lived there until getting into trouble with local swoop gangs. His family relocated him to stay on Coruscant with a family friend. Unbeknownst to them the family friend was prominent smuggler and salvager in the underground markets. It was under his tutelage Drake grew up, learning the guts of ships, systems and all other manner of mechanics.
As a young boy he showed talent for piloting, often running his Uncles Ship whilst the older man hauled in the Salvage. After a season or two they moved on to robbery, hitting cargo vessels as they exited the protected territory of the now defunct Galactic Republic. The hauls were great and then trouble struck.
------------
Drake was apprehended during a botched salvage attempt on a half destroyed convoy in between Sith and Republic space. As the war raged on he was taken to a maximum security facility, where he was interred for a total of fifteen years. Pain, hardship and suffering were not to be his end however.
The One Sith invaded Coruscant, and took the planet. The prison conditions became worse, with Drake and his fellow prisoners forced to work as slaves for various Sith Lords and commanders. At one point they were tasked with clearing Rak ghouls from the lowest levels of Corsucant to make room for Sith experiments, armed only with spears.
Combat became something else Drake became exceptional at. With both the blade, spear and firearm he became proficient, eventually mastering close combat. A Warden who had also fallen prey to the Sith and been imprisoned gave Drake many lessons in Teras Kasi, teaching the young man to take down opponents twice as large as him.
-----------
Then the Alliance invaded. During the invasion there was chaos. The Guards left their posts, abandoning the facility to fight the Allied forces. Drake and his fellow prisoner Danni Jacobs made a run for it, tearing right through the block. After a few attempts at hacking the terminals he was able to free most of the prisoners.
The battle concluded with the Alliance taking the planet just as they were escaping. In the mad dash between him and Dani they managed to slip by Alliance patrols. Hundreds of prisoners were killed as a result. Danni and Drake took a Marauder Corvette, old and rusty and blasted off to the outer rim, escaping for a time.
In the Rim they ran odd jobs, smuggling and protection details for Crime lords. Soon they were double crossed, set up to take down a larger Freighter and used as bait. When Militia forces arrived and opened fire, the Crime lords forces fled, leaving the two of them marooned in the fire-fight.
------------
Drake and Danni somehow managed to pull through, fixing a broken hyperdrive and multiple hull breaches during the fight. Militia forces were hot on their tail as they made a quick burn for Nar Shadda where [member="Hala Jast"], his long lost Sister was just wrapping up with the Red Devils.
Hala took them in and sheltered them in Red Devil territory. Shortly after she gave him her overstock Jast Reclaimer and sent him on his way.
Now he drifts ever closer to the Core, seeking Salvage from battles long past. His most recent trip finds him collecting crew for the vessel and moving to join the Vagrant Fleet.
