Background
Wanoo grew up in a family of moderate means on Lantillies. While apprenticing to a mechanic, he met Kaancha Pod Fathompiercer, a beautiful Herglic from a more prestigious family than his own. Knowing that he didn't have the money or the reputation to attract her attention, Wanoo knew that he needed to make a name for himself before he could ever vie for her affections.
His chance came one day when a strange yacht put into his master's shop on Lantillies. Piloting it was a woman who looked like she was in no hurry to stay on the planet and didn't want to answer any questions. In exchange for free repairs, Wanoo hitched a ride with the pilot - who called herself Alara.
Motivation
Love: Wanoo is smitten with Kaancha Pod Fathompiercer, and he's taken to the stars to increase his prestige in hopes of winning her heart.
Expertise: To impress Kaancha's father and win his approval, Wanoo can't just be a good mechanic - he must become the best.
Obligations
5/ Gambling addiction. Like many Herglics, Wanoo is drawn to the thrill of a good wager. It can be anything from sabacc to betting on racing snails, but he can't resist the chance to press his luck.
10/ Bounty. Wanoo may or may not have been caught with an Idiot's Array up his sleeve in a high roller game of sabacc on Cristophsis a few years ago.
