at some point in time, presumably in the past, Von Geschwindig started to exist
it would be rude to assume he was born, not everyone is born you know
It happens that Von Geschwindig WAS, in fact, born, but you cant just assume these things about people
It would also be rude to assume he was born on a planet
And in this specific case, it would be both rude and wrong, as Von was born on a starship currently in hyperspace. This was a very interesting starship, and was leaving a particularly interesting planet for an even more interesting one. More interesting than both is the reason why the ship was travelling, and why Von was born there. Unfortunately, the hyper-drive malfunctioned due damaged sustained in a pretty dumb fight (seriously, someone needs to check the rulebooks, there was no way that ship could carry 3 tie fighters). Anyhoo, Von managed to survive, which for the purposes of this story, can be considered a unlikely, but not impossible, stroke of luck. Voh became stranded on a not-that-big-in-the-grand-scheme-of-things piece of metal floating in an mostly-endless void. which was commonly referred to as not a moon. Through the power of the force, or an extreme stroke of luck, or just lazy story writing, Von drifted through space into a airlock. No-one could explain why there was suddenly a baby, and no-one wanted to explain to their higher ups that a lone day-year-old was somehow able to break into their facility, and they were feeling particularly "morally responsible" (aka, very drunk) so a bunch of crew members decided "Screw it, lets shove the baby in a star ship and see what happens", so they shoved the baby, alone, into a tie-fighter, and, turned it on for him. The baby proceeded to not totally crash, again due to lazy storytelling, and the baby thought to himself "wow, im a pretty dang pilot". Of course, the baby was too young to understand what piloting was, or have a point of reference for what "good" was when it came to piloting, or have an understanding of what it meant to be "good", or an understanding of language, and the baby also happened to be too young to form permanent memories, and-
"hang on", said one script writer to the other, "wtf are we even doing?"
"writing a script", said the other script writer to the other
"No, but i mean with our lives", said the first one
"Coke", said the other one
"ah yes, thankyou", said the first one, right before doing another line
Long story short, Von was put into an Imperial flight academy at a young age, and was "passable, i guess".
But oneday, Von's life would be forever changed
"I'm going to go fly my ship", said Von, walking to his ship
"here we go, taking off in my ship", said Von, Taking off in the ship next to his ship
"Hang on, this isn't my ship, it's Won's ship" said Von, in Won's ship
"Someone is stealing Won's ship!" Said Lon, currently in Lon's ship.
"I didnt do it" said Con, planning another con (seriously guys, he has an evil goatee, it would not be rude to assume it was him, though in this specific case, it would be not-rude but also wrong)
"Well he is about to be gone," said Tom. "unless we give him a bomb"
"the name's Bond, James bond"
wait, wrong movie, crap.
Medium story short, this escalated very quickly, and Von was forced to flee. He fled to the outer rim, taking up a job as a pilot for hire, and sometimes, when he got bored (which was very often), he did some racing of question legality. Eventually, he wandered to Oogway. He found a personel carrier for sale, and, without the funds to transport a heavy vehicle long distances, he decided to stay on the planet, making a name for himself from his racing and piloting skills.

Motivation: Ambition: Expertise, racing/piloting
Fairly standard stuff
wants to be the best, like no-one ever was

Addiction 10: Adrenaline junkie
Von is an adrenaline junkie and a daredavil., and as such, takes risks some would call foolish. He satisfies himself primarily with fast pace racing. Because of this addiction, he has a short patience, and has a hard time sitting still
