Name: Kalen Palkar
Race: Human - Corellian
Age: 23
Hair colour: black
Eye colour: green
Height: 6 feet (1.8 meters)
Weight: 180 lbs (81 kg)
Ship: A Corellian YG-42310 which he has named the "Lucky Lady", heavily modified with different features and improvements Kalen has made. Jokingly refers to it as the only woman he can always count on.
Weapon: Prefers blasters. Specifically his 434 blaster pistol which he keeps hidden in a special holster inside of his right boot.
Appearance: Moderately handsome if he took the time to make himself presentable, Kalen instead has a scruffy, unkept type of style. He dresses for comfort and practicability in leu of fashion. He shaves infrequently, causing a mess of stubble to pepper his boyish face. It is not uncommon for him to have some sort of gunk or scorch marks on his clothes from the constant tinkering he does on his ship. His most winning attribute is a devilish smile that conveys a boyish mischievousness.
Personality: Sarcastic and cynical, Kalen tends to look at things from the glass half empty approach, and is pleasantly surprised when things go his way. He has numerous faults of which he will be the first to admit: he lies, cheats, steals when he thinks he can get away with it, womanizes as much as he can, and drinks himself into a stupor whenever he can afford it. When he lays off of the sauce, he is an excellent pilot and decent shot with a blaster. He's not much of a hand to hand fighter and usually ends up being on the losing end of bar fights. He is fiercely competitive and very proud of his Corellian heritage.
Though riddled with faults, Kalen does have a few redeeming qualities. He absolutely hates seeing the powerful take advantage of the weak and most of the targets of his less than legal escapades are people that, in his own mind, deserve it. He hates politics and prefers to live his life skirting the bickering and tensions that are plaguing the galaxy. To what few people he befriends, Kalen is extremely loyal and wouldn't think twice about jetting halfway across the galaxy to come to their aid.
Background: Born to a pilot and barmaid in the capital city of Coronet, Kalen's whole life always revolved around star ships. It was a star ship that robbed him of his father at the tender age of four. It was in a shipyard that he had his first job at 13. His prowess as a pilot got him into the Corellian Navy where he was a rising star, until a drunken argument over which ship was better caused him to slug his commanding officer and receive a dishonorable discharge. His mother passed on soon after and he took what little money she left him and invested heavily in a hyperdrive producing company that an engineering friend and him began. Using their limited resources and through hard work the two managed to be enough of an annoyance to a bigger company that they were bought out for a modest sum. Kalen promptly took that money and bought himself a freighter, a Corellian YG-42310.
With nothing holding him to Corellia anymore, Kalen roamed the galaxy, doing odd jobs for different people and dipping into less than legal enterprises more than once. He managed to stay a step ahead of the authorities and skip town on planets at which he was getting to well known. He is now planet hopping, just looking for the next job and bar to hit up and trying to keep a somewhat low profile.
