![]() Clint Eastwood Name: Jagen Grenswin Homeworld: Born on: Corellia Raised on: Nar Shaddaa Currently lives on: The Nomad Nickname/Alias: Drexl Date of Birth: 38 ABY Faction: Independent Rank: Smuggler Species: Human Height: 6' 1" Weight: 175 lbs Hair Color: Dark blond Skin Color: Slightly tanned Appearance: Brown and blue eyed, its clear that Drexl managed to stumble into the recessive area of the gene pool when it came to his parent's genetics. His hair is a medium shade of brown. His eyes are an arresting blue color inherited from his father, and they’ve been commented on by many a lady who were captivated by the range of emotion that they could convey. He usually keeps his face with a beard to give him a rogue-ish appearance that his fellow Corellians can relate too, although he tries to keep it from getting too much longer. He has a strong square jaw and mid set cheekbones. Usually, Drexl will be seen in a long trenchcoat that goes to his shin, underneath which he hides a good deal of armaments in some situations. Under this he usually wears a vest, and a pair of simple pants. Sometimes this will be all he wears if the weather is too hot for him. He always wears a light suit of armor under all of this to give some protection against blaster bolts so that the damage will be dampened somewhat. This light armor protects against that, but against sustained energy such as that produced by a lightsaber blade it would be inadequate, as it would against large explosions. If he knows the situation is going to be particularly hairy, Drexl usually wears just the trench coat over a suit of medium scale armor, which protects against the worst damage. Personality: Drexl is like any man, he has moments of anger, sadness, and joy, but in his line of work, trying to achieve what he is trying to achieve he has had to learn to shelve his personal emotions, allowing everything to roll over a mask. He makes jokes to alleviate these negative emotions and to deflect questions away from him so he doesn’t have to address them until a time when it is convenient for him. This leaves people with the impression of him having two personalities. One is of the serious smuggler, willing to do whatever it takes and cold to the emotions of others, and the other of the free of care young man. Surprisingly among Drexl's other interests, because like all people he doesn’t dedicate his mind to only one thing, is a love for the past. Often times in his free time you can find him hanging around in ancient ruins, learning the past through experience and pondering the circumstances of those times. As such is free time is usually spent traveling. Drexl is a smuggler and as a smuggler he has only one loyalty and that is to the credit. People try to lecture men like him about their lifestyles, about how they should fight for a deeper cause; Drexl has heard all that nonsense drivel and he thinks it's bantha poodoo. Why fight for a cause and get used as a simple resource by the Federation or the Republic or the Alliance or whatever it is its being called these days, when you can fight for yourself and get rich. Rich men hold the power, in Drexl's eyes, you never see the rich being drug into a war they sit back and drink their fine wine as the poor get walked on. He's a rough and gruff individual who says what he's thinking without care of whose offended. Drexl has a hard time with idealists, if only because he has lived in a world where idealism is dead. Weaknesses and Strengths: Weaknesses: - Overconfident: Believes his abilities to be stronger than what they are at times which leads to situations that may not always turn out in his favor. - Reckless: Because of his overconfidence, he often times goes against the odds and takes actions which many others would consider foolhardy. This flaw has lead to great profit in the past, but the greater the profit, the greater the risk. - Alcoholic: Drinks more than he should, usually slightly buzzed, sometime worse. Prone to headaches and loss of focus without one. - Gambling Addict: Has led to many a debt, which have to be repaid. - Melee Fighting - Has never really been trained to fight with swords, axes, and the other weapons like that, so relies on blaster skill against Jedi. Strengths: - Pilot: There are few pilots as talented in a cockpit as Drexl is. Largely a freighter pilot, he has no small skill behind the controls of a starfighter. - Gunslinger: Has spent years with a blaster at his side and through years of practice has become a crack shot with a blaster pistol. - Sharpshooter: Almost as good with a rifle as he is with a pistol. - Mechanic: Has self-modified his ship many a time, and usually repairs any damage to it himself. - Determined: Has the attitude that once he sets his mind to something, he can accomplish anything and will usually be able to. - Hardened: Due to his harsh life in the Galaxy, he has a hardened personality that helps him within the world he lives. He is slow to trust, and quick to expect the worst, and often prepares for the worst. Equipment - Czerka Adventurer slugthrower rifle - Renegade Blaster Pistol - YT-2400 Light Freighter, the Nomad History: Jagen Greswin was born on Corellia in the year of 38 ABY to a nerf-herder and his wife. Torryg Greswin and Alessia Greswin were not rich people, but they provided for the boy as best they could and in his childhood, Jagen did not have a want of love from these two. His early days were happy, but he would never remember them as the Second Galactic Civil War took place in 40 ABY and his homeworld was soon embroiled in conflict. Ardent patriots, Torryg and Alessia left home to join the Confederacy's forces against the Galactic Alliance. They would both perish in the conflict. At three years old, Jagen was an orphan who was sent en route to an orphanage at the war's end. The orphanage was on Bothawui, but a group of pirates beset the ship before it made it to Bothawui. The orphans on board were then brought to Nar Shaddaa where they were sold as slaves to the local hutts. Jagen was sold to a crime lord, Garballa the Hutt. Since he was only three and therefore useless to the Hutt at the moment, the Hutt had him put under the care of a noted, but retired, thief who the Hutt now employed as caretaker, Garstead. Garstead treated the boy well enough, and when he hit the age of five began to teach him to pick pockets to aid Garballa. When he demonstrated his proficiency to the Hutt, he was given to the Hutt's group of street thieves to make more money. He was somewhat successful at this, until he almost got himself killed when he was 12, when he was caught pickpocketing a Moff who was visiting the planet. It was no secret where the boy came from, and Garballa had to deal with an Imperial investigation which threatened a nice smuggling scheme he had worked out with a few contacts on Bastion. For this offense, he had Jagen whipped and gave him up to the Imperial Moff. From the age of 12 to to the age of 14 he was in a detainment center where he was supposed to be being brought into Imperial line. However, he often resisted and before his brainwashing could be complete, he was broken out of the detainment center. Jagen was broken out inadvertently by the smuggler Dash Rendar, who had been hired by another Hutt, Gurgalan, to break out one of his most trusted lieutenants. Dash found Jagen in his cell and broke him out of his cell out of pity for the young boy's plight. Dash found out about Jagen's situation later on the Outrider, and agreed to take the boy with him at that point. Dash was getting old at that point in time, having been a pro-smuggler for years and likely decided it was time to pass on his legacy to the next generation. For the next few years, Dash played the surrogate father to Jagen. It was in this time that Jagen got the nickname "Drexl." One time when they were on Onderon, Jagen got caught as he was trying to sneak out of Iziz, and the only way he could make it out was by riding on the back of a Drexl. So he did. Dash retired a few months after Drexl turned 21, or so he said, one could never tell with the old man. Drexl then got a hold of his own YT-2400, it being a ship he was familiar with, off of a used ship dealer. This was before his vices would stop him from being able to make such a large purchase. He got himself employed later by Gurgalan and started to work in the criminal underworld. Drexl would take an assortment of jobs, not just smuggling ones although he remained best at smuggling. |
