Background
Planet:
Born and raised in Corellia in the outskirts of Coronet City in a middle class family.
Family:
He is the oldest of 4 siblings. Ryba is his youngest brother, 4 years younger than him, a very self-confident and bright boy but who his only goal in life seems to enjoy the shit out of it. Lunna and Clhara are his twins sisters, though similar in appearance very different in character: Clhara is very shy and very sensitive but her sister Lunna is hardworking and always worried about her image and success. His father, Hyd, worked as a mechanical engineer in the shipyard repairing and constructing all kinds of interstellar vehicles. His mother, Isi, worked hard as a nurse in the main hospital and spent more of the rest of her time with her family and children, her kindness and impeccable moral code has been a central pillar for the education and ethic of her children.
Childhood:
As a kid he spent much of his time playing with starship toys and his siblings. When he had some free time his mind was always flying away to incredible adventures in space and exploring new worlds. Captivated in particular by the legends of ancient creatures and lost civilizations and the stories about the Jedi. He dreamed to be an explorer and spend his life discovering all those star systems that shine in the night sky.
As soon as he reached the age of 12 his father insisted he enrols the engineering academy to help him in the shipyard, he would have a comfortable life and could start a family when came to age. He understood his responsibility towards the family and for 5 years he learned everything he could to perfection his engineering knowledge and he excelled in his academy exams. However a lot happened during those 5 years. The galactic empire had started to increase the working hours while the Corellian Resistance was more active than ever and the city had become more dangerous. He heard their parents arguing often about leaving the planet and the environment was often tense and with fear, although he would not know why until the night of Ryba’s birthday…the day that will change his life forever.
The fatal night:
He will always remember that night. The dinner was very silent and his father kept standing to look through the window. The night was unusually quiet and everything happened too quickly. Before we finished dinner a group of three Stormtroopers broke in violently and arrested everyone, but as soon as they left the house a group of men armed with light pistols was waiting and opened fire against the Stormtroopers. His front yard turned into in a battlefield. He did not dropped a single tear even when his mother had the blood of Hyd and Clhara in her hands and her screams filled the quiet night in sorrow. He kept his calm and firm and understood that he must now be strong for his mother and the rest of his siblings.
A new beginning:
The man who helped them where friends of his mother and he discovered soon that they were part of the Corellian Resistance. The empire had discovered that Isi was passing information about the aviation technology his husband was working on. He and his family had only one choice now, to escape to life in the Forest with the Corellian Resistance.
It was not long until the empire found their settlement in the forest and killed half of them. The rest, including AJ (as he was called by the resistance group) and his family, managed to escape by flying offworld. As they looked to Cornellia before jumping to hyperspace the same thought crossed all their minds – this may be the last time we see our home.
Dantooine:
It was almost his 18th birthday when they arrived to Dantooine to join the rebel army was getting concentrated in Dantooine. His mind was focused on one thing: become stronger and calmly await the right time to go back to his planet and revenge his father and sister killed by the empire, but this thought would gradually be forgotten in the subconscious in the time spent in Dantooine and as he grew older.
The life in Dantooine was nothing as the comfortable life they had in Cornellia, everyone needed to be useful and work and the food sometimes was scarce. His mother joined the medical team, always with the attention on the need of others, always trying to help everyone. His sister Lunna enrolled the officials academy with the goal to join the intelligence team, driven by her desire to stand out and success we barely saw her, always working and going out with other officials which increased her big head. Ryba did not want to participate in this war and spent most of his time wandering around the forests of the planet and meeting the locals, he was fascinated about a group of people who live in the forest in perfect harmony with the environment – more like savages in the eyes of AJ – and he married a girl from this group about a year after landing.
As per AJ, he joined the engineering team and worked hard, keeping his rage inside where no one could see it, and focusing on perfection. He used to help his mother at home and accompany his brother Ryba in some of his exploring adventures before he got married. One day, wondering around a lake somewhere in the forest near the settlement they saw a group of young natives who were playing on the lake and ended up their first friends in that planet.
AJ discovered love with Helen, a wild beautiful and always smiling native girl. Their love was as intense as brief. He saw her with another guy and felt betrayed and humiliated, he yelled at her whole she wanted to be friends. He discovered the hard way that perfect love is not real and something else clicked in his mind – the certainty that nothing is forever.
Since then, he decided two things:
First to learn the psychology behind the women and to control his feelings to avoid getting hurt again. The feeling of control over other people’s feelings and situations gave him confidence. Over the years of observation and trial and error he understood how to deal with different personalities, what to say to a woman to get interested in him, the power of silence and how to create bonds between people. As his errors became less frequent his confident grew.
And second he asked to enrol in the pilots academy to pursue his child dream and explore the galaxy. All the physical and gunnery training was not his cup of tea, but his pride and being a perfectionist he tried to find perfection in every activity. He soon found a group of pilot friends with his values and idealistic vision of life. He graduated after 2 years and succeeded with excellence almost all his courses except the war strategy because he was always focused on a perfect mission with a minimum of life spared and He did not win a single war simulation session.
He volunteered for his first mission for a group of pilot explorers, including some of his friends, to find extra resources in the planet and also to avoid combat missions.
The Unity:
His charm and ability to understand people were noticed by his superiors and he was appointed to a crew under the command of Lialyn Sun, Commander of the corvette Unity. The mission was to find allies for the Rebel Cause in the Outer Rim Territories. This was a very noble mission that would help gather the forces to fight against the evil empire while He would explore and discovery other planets and civilisations. He could not sleep the night before the departure.
The four years he passed with the Unity were full of adventures. He travelled to more than eight planets, he easily made friends in each planet and loved to hear their personal stories, he had multiple multiracial loves - some better than others, and both friends and loves came and went as they changed the planet. No attachments will keep him from creating strong links that would eventually hurt him. However he learned some basics of the local languages with friends and lovers: Durese, Twi'leki and togruti.
There was a special Togruta woman, Sella, that he met in a hidden temple he discovered in one exploration mission in the valleys of Shilli, very spiritual and loving, who got to penetrate all his defences and opened his mind and calmed his spirit. She talked about the Force and connection between all beings. They spent one year together where AJ would visit her in secret in the days off he had. He wouldn’t know until later but his spirit healed and he let go much of his rage little by little. She said to him once that the Force was present in him, but he did not know what it meant.
The time with Sella was one of the happiest times in his life, even his friends in the Unity notice it, and something had changed in him after they separated. Six months later they returned to Dantooine and he was determined to fight for the restoration of the peace in the galaxy.
The Ember:
After all those years running through worlds, they arrived when the base was going to be moved to Yavin 4 and the commander Lialyn Sun rewarded his crew with a 6 months mission at home to establish the new base. He did not think it twice to ask his old commander Lialyn Sun if he could join the next exploration ship, the Ember that was ready to depart in the search for potential new base locations. Even Lialyn Sun could not say no to his charm and noble intentions.

Description
Anthony (AJ) is an average height human man with slender complexity, he keeps his routine of sport weekly more as a healthy routine than to gain muscle but that keeps him athletic and resilient. He shaves his beard daily and carries a shaving set with him. He wears his uniform on board the ship but he likes to wear clothes of the native planets he visits as he thinks it helps him gain the truss of the people.
No tattoo or piercing in his body, apart from a birthmark in the chest with the form of three crosses in right pectoral.
His black hair arrives to his shoulders and he wears it normally in a high ponytail. He has dark eyes, think eyebrows and white skin. He tends to wear a small pistol hidden in his right boot and a knife hidden in the left boot and in his keys he always keeps an all-purpose swissknife as he learned his utility in his engineering job.
His gestures and posture shows confidence and some people interpret it as arrogance. When he walks his column is straight and he sits with his legs opened and his column straight.
He is not very expressive and his temper generally is serious, although he laughs as much as everyone with a good joke, and the times when he is particularly happy he tends to be more chatty and smile a lot. Everyone tells him he should relax more and not to stress so much.
Coming from his loving mother, he has no personal space and feels comfortable with personal contact, always shaking hands, hugging friends and with a tent to touch the arms and shoulders even with strangers. He has learned the hard way that some species are not as comfortable as he is and he automatically tries to assess every person before coming too familiar to avoid problems.
He wears a necklace under the shirt with a Corellian Jiang his mother gave him before He left Dantooine. It had been in the family for centuries and it is meant to hive him good luck, but he only gives it sentimental value.
He treats his body as a temple; he does not consume drugs and tries to keep a balance diet. Since he came back from Shili, he has incorporated two sessions of meditation and two sessions of a martial-art routine she thought him what is meant to balance his energy and release rage and stress. He usually wakes up one hour earlier to do his routines, then a shower and rarely skips his breakfast. He avoids excesses and tends to go to sleep soon.
When he is doing a task is very concentrated and easily forgets the world around him, however he is poor at multitasking.
He likes tribal and percussion music most of all and, although his singing skills are not good, he has learned a couple of dance moves with some of the women he has met.
