HEIGHT: 5'10"
WEIGHT: 160 lbs
EYES: Brown
HAIR: Brown
SKIN: Tan
FORCE SENSITIVE: Yes (Unaware)
STRENGTHS:
- (+) Magpie Martyr: Miko is from a planet that is unremarkable except for several exotic wood and textile outputs that are reserved only for the highest of markets. At least to the outside Galaxy that is all they are worth. However, to the rare explorer who bothers to learn of the planet, they will find the natives are exceptionally adept at piloting, some say even rivaling the fame of Corellians in such. Add to that, every child who chooses to be a pilot will undergo, at the age of 20, a cybernetic enhancement that increases general speed of movement, drastically increases reaction time, and with the right interface on the craft, allows direct neural interface and control of a pilotable craft.
- (+) True North: A trait whispered of those from his homeworld born on the coastal sea of the main continent. It is said this part of the land was interspersed once long ago with off-worlders, men and women with remarkable talents who made their way with said talents in such a way to benefit and not burden their communities, and so were accepted. Several of these folks had the unerring ability to almost never seemed lost, knowing exactly when and where to be, go, and move just so. (ICly, Miko is unaware that this 'talent' is Instinctive Astrogation)
WEAKNESSES:
- (-) Rank Amateur: In terms of life experience, Miko has little to none. He is crafty, and cunning, and very good at thinking on his feet. But he has lived on the same stretch of coastline, on the same continent, on the same world, for all of his rather brief existence. This leads to a lot of difficulty and struggle, and often into danger with the other facets of his personality.
- (-) Over-Eager: Though inexperienced and unknowing, Miko has absolutely no deficincies in enthusiasm. In fact, if anything, he is quite overly enthusiastic, jumping in without thinking, just for the thrill of it sometimes. Speed, danger, and new things on the horizon get his blood pumping and, perhaps when wisdom and any sort of common sense might otherwise say, draw him in.

BIOGRAPHY:
Miko started life as the son of a fisherman and a seamstress. His mother made enough money they were never less than comfortably middle class, and his father had a seaskiff capable of the more daring charters and journeys for the rarest of the oceanic bounties the mostly watery world they lived on had to offer. Miko grew up with a great chance at life, until his mother died just before his tenth birhday, shattering his dreams of advancing himself further into comfort. And also adding the albatross around his neck of a father swiftly spiraling down into alcoholism.
Still determined, Miko snuck into the Aerocean Academy testing, and through luck and genius made it past the test. Despite scoring the best, when it was revealed who his father was (having become the community drunk and a joke) and that he was penniless, Miko was chased out of the Academy. In disgrace, Miko took up a job with a local fisherman who was something of an oddity and had been impressed by his display at the testing, which was part of a local tidal festival. The man was an oddity for having been a former pilot, before an accident rendered his vision too low in depth perception to fly adequately for his employer. Said employer had gifted him, when he was but a teenager, with a series of cybernetic enhancements made of an organo metallic compound unique to the planet, which amplified the natural talents of a pilot to insane levels.
Through his teenage years, Miko worked for the man, and learned how to pilot every craft on water or atmosphere that he touched. Young though he was, the man he was apprenticed to was impressed, and at the age of 20 he gifted Miko with the same gift his former employer had granted him, as well as a skiff and atmoflyer for hauling catch. Running his own subsidary type company under his former mentor, Miko always yearned to leave the backwards world of his birth, and see the stars outside his own clannish skies. But that chance would not come until just very recently, when a famed explorer and pilot happened to put in at their humble planet for fuel and supplies.
