Born on Zeltros, Esperar Verheug never knew her parents or her real name. Falling between the cracks happens even on a seemingly idylic world like Zeltros. Esperar's earliest memories are of scraping by day to day, begging and stealing to survive, wondering if she'd make it to the next day.

All that changed when a Jedi Master Geda Doneta and her padawan came down to the slums of Zeltros the capital on a mission when Esperar was 5 years old. Esperar naturally decided it was a good idea to swipe the Master's lightsaber before she was noticed leading to a chase around the slums. Before long Esperar was caught, and both Jedi noticed significant Force potential in her. Too busy with the Clone Wars to take the child to Coruscant, Master Geda took Esperar with her on campaigns to the Outer Rim.

A month later, Esperar was overcome with a vision of mass destruction. Asteroidlike living starfighters, massive planet sided organic ships, beings that deliberately multilated and pained themselves and even enjoyed it came from beyond the edge of the galaxy. The things were wiping entire planets clean of life, killing trillions of beings and laying waste to even the Inner Rim Worlds, causing more destruction and death than a dozen of the deadliest wars in Republic history. All the while the Republic argued back and forth, ultimately accomplishing little to stop them.

Overcome one day on the bridge of the Venator-class Star Destroyer Endeavor, Esperar was in a catatonic state for days as the vision continued. Finally, the vision ended, and Esperar was left with nothing but questions Master Geda couldn't answer.

Eventually, Esperar couldn't stand it anymore. The threat that was coming consumed her every waking throught and haunted her dreams. Gradually, she came to see the flaws in the Jedi. An emotionless lot that cared nothing for the Republic they defended nor noticed how flawed it was who were too indoctrinated to see the flaws in their own code.

Events quickly shoved those concerns aside however, as Order 66 was issued a mere 3 months later. Fighting off the Clone Troopers that had turned on them, Master Geda and Esperar survived the devastation and the two ran from place to place, hiding, scraping from day to day for years. Geda hardly had the time to teach Esperar anything and it would only make her a target. One day Esperar returned to the ramshackle house from an errand and found Master Geda dead, sliced in half by a lightsaber, and fled.

Since then Esperar has made a living as a bounty hunter and occasional mercenary. The Jedi and Republic were now gone and the Empire ruled in it's place. Removed from these events by her wanderings, Esperar looked for any opportunity to gain wealth and influence wherever she could.

Ambition: Power
Creed: People are counting on me.

Esperar is compassionate and will help others as best she can in most instances yet obsessively driven toward obtaining Power, whether personal, political, or military. Esperar intends to form a signficant fighting force to defeat a threat decades into the future, and thus has interest in obtaining allies, resources, and overt and covert sources of influence to achieve this.

Strength: Compassion
Weakness: Obsession

+55 Morality

EXP bonus +10

Esperar is very compassionate and friendly, often seeking out others to help. Esperar will not harm or kill others without reason, but she is completely ruthless to anyone she determines are a threat to herself or others and has no hesitation whatsoever about killing if she deems it necessary.

However, her desire to obtain Power may eclipse any other considerations. Esperar may take advantage of gratitude to obtain more power, and if there's nothing in it for her she may occasionally ignore a plea for help.

Obligation

Obsession #1-5
