Background
Dax grew up on Chadra-Fan, personally witnessing a tsunami wash most of a village out to sea. Ever since he has had a fear of water, and left the planet as soon as he could. He went to a university and earned masters degrees in electrical and mechanical engineering with some additional studies in computer and droid engineering. His work on sub-light engine efficiency drew the attention of the Rebellion, who recruited him to work with a team on a prototype heavy starfighter. Not long into the project the Empire captured the ship he was on, and thinking he was just another ship engineer they threw him into a prison.
This started his career as a prison escape artist. Breaking out of at least four different prisons, he quickly gained a reputation as a mad scientist without a conscience. The Rebellion ended their relationship with him, making it clear that while they aren't his enemy they certainly aren't associated with him in any way.
Unfortunately he has a hard time keeping out of prison and has always been recaptured. He doesn't do subtly well, and tends to blow up everything around him. The Empire eventually threw him into Kessel, where he promptly proved how resourceful he can be with junk and scrap. Roughly a tenth of the prison exploded in his final escape.
So far he hasn't been caught, but an AI named Aroceli seems to have calmed him down and toned down some of his more dangerous tendencies.
Motivation
Ambition: Dax wants to find out the history of his ship, The Longshot, and improve upon it in every way. He wants to set up a fully functioning workshop inside of it that will allow him to create weapons, armor, droids, and tools of his own design. He wants to upgrade engines, shields, and other areas of the ship. He wants to install a luxury caf machine in the lounge. Maybe if he is asked nicely he will upgrade the crew cabins. It totally helps that the ship's AI, Aroceli, encourages all this.
Obligations
Obsession (Severity 15)
Description
Dax is a blonde chadra-fan that stands about a meter high. He has a scrawny build, allowing him to squeeze and twist into tight spaces. His body is covered in blonde fur, but his forearms are naked due to several past accidents caused by experimental crafting. He constantly talks to himself, or to Aroceli, frequently muttering in the high pitched Chadra language.
