---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES:
Due to not originally being from this galaxy his weaponry and equipment are less advanced than those most of the galactic factions and civilisations.
Has an extreme fear and mistrust of force users, as he see's them as above the law and that he believes that the kind of power they wield is too much for one person.
He can become too emotionally attached to people, which can be a double edged sword. As it does allow him to easily become friends with people, it can also lead to him acting irrationally when they are placed in harms way.
He also has a feeling of survivors guilt and is plagued by horrible nightmares as a direct consequence of the mental trauma that he suffered at the hands of the Sith Empire.
Due to genetic modification he has more acute hearing along with enhanced mental acuity. He also has enhanced agility as a result of these modifications.
He is also highly skilled in hand to hand combat, as a direct result of his training.
Has a tenacity and determination to see something through to the end no matter what.
Has an extreme fear of losing those closest to him, and would do anything no matter how inhumane to keep them safe.
Other details: Frequently uses humour to avoid discussing himself and has a tendency to act too casually in serious situations, i.e. reacting with sarcasm in life or death situations where others would react with caution or concern, this seems to be more of a unique take on survival and success.
APPEARANCE: Usually wears standard issue Initiative reconnaissance armour which has had some personal modifications along with advanced life support systems which cover most hostile environments, it is mostly black with some red elements. The suit has reduced armour which allows for enhanced flexibility and more agile movement when in the field, he also wears a helmet with a dark visor which doubles as a heads up display depending on the situation. he stands at 5'11" and weights approx. 170lbs.
BIOGRAPHY: Originally from a distant galaxy, he arrived in the galaxy around 3000 BBY, where his initiative was attacked in the Unknown Regions by the Sith Empire, it is unknown if anyone from his Initiative survived apart from him. As he was frozen in carbonite for an unknown period of time. He was just recently released from his Carbonite Tomb by an unknown assailant.
During the Sith assault on his ship his friends and crew were slaughtered by Imperial commandos, which resulted in only his and his sister to survive. However, just as they were about to escape the massacre a Sith Lord influenced his sister to try and kill him. Leaving him with no other alternative he was forced to kill her. This mentally broke him which lead to him losing consciousness.
He awoke on an Imperial prison ship heading to Korriban where he saw what remained of his crew, this broke him mentally, and he was nothing but a husk of a man for a good period of time, after he was released form carbonite he thought of nothing but revenge for a good while but thought better of it as no good would have come from getting himself killed, eventually he dropped off the grid in Coruscant and disappeared entirely.
His father was involved in research regarding the integration of Humans and Artificial Intelligence. The intelligence itself was named classed as a Simulated Adaptive Matrix, which his father referred to as Sam. However, his father, Sam, and his fathers research were taken by Imperial Intelligence during first contact with the Sith Empire.

Equipment and armament: while in the field he is equipped with the Carnifex hand cannon, which is a heavy semi-automatic pistol which was most commonly used among mercenaries and warlords.
The M-8 Avenger, which is a versatile assault rifle. Though it is much less powerful than a blaster as it fires ballistic projectiles.
The Initiative Reconnaissance hardsuit, which are heavily modified from the original baseline which forgoes certain scientific instruments in favour of added combat capability. Improved life support systems, stabilisers, targeting controls, and a built in jump kit.
The Omni-Tool. Omni-Tools are multipurpose diagnostic and manufacturing tools as well as computers used for a variety of civilian and battlefield tasks, such as Hacking, Decryption, Repair, and can also be doubled up as a blade.
The Omni-Blade is a disposable silicon-carbide weapon forged by the Tools miniature fabricator. The transparent, nearly diamond-hard blade is created and suspended in a gravity field safely away from the users skin. Warning lights illuminate the field so that the searing-hot blade only burns what is intended to: the opponent.
