Hobbies: He reads. that’s really all he does to entertain himself. Either that or field stripping the current weapon he is holding at the time.
Optimist or Pessimist: A little bit of both. He prefers to think of it as being a realist.
Talents: He tends to have a natural way with languages. His biological father had told him often that he should have been a linguist instead of a soldier.

Interrelation with others
How is he percieved by others? Most find him distant and standoff-ish. But those that get to know him find that he is generally a good man at heart. you just have to dig through all of the emotional defenses he has up.
Friends? He has very, very few friends. His best friend was a strill named Cupya, but it was killed in a training accident some years ago. since then, he has done his best to remove himself from emotional attachements.
Relationships to other characters? Again, he tries to maintain a professional level of detatchment from those around him. Though sometimes he may make the occasional “Friend”. It is a very rare thing.
Goals
Character’s ultimate goal: His only goal is too survive. He really never has cared what he is doing in life or where it might be going. He just wants to be able to live with and help those around him. As far as where he wishes his path to take him, he really hasn’t thought it out.
How does the character plan to obtain those goals? He enlisted in the military as a sort of test for himself, a way to force himself to grow. He heard the the IR had the best and toughest military, and being mandolorian, he was eager for the challenge.
How will other charaters be affected? They will either be beneficial to his succeeding in his goal, or they won’t even know he exists.
Background: Kai was born to a miner on the frozen world of Fest. At age 14 he joined the local militia and began his military career. showing a certain aptitude for infantry work, the commander of the local militia promoted him from volunteer status to Private at the age of 16. As a full time active worker in the militia, he was placed in charge of a squad of six men. For two years he worked with them in putting down local insurrections and riots. at the end of his 17th year of life, a band of Mandalorian raiders attacked his village. Try as they might, the local militia was just not enough to stop the invaders. Kai was struck by a piece of debris and knocked unconscious.
He woke up some three days later aboard a starship. He had been taken captive by the Mandalorians. When his captors tried to move him from the medbay to a slave cell, he savagely attacked them. Even though he was bound in cuffs and his feet were shackled, he managed to kill one and injure three others. Seeing such a display of fighting spirit, a man by the name of Omar Kurdyths took him under his wing as an adoptive son. At first he resisted, fighting and cursing every person he set eyes on. it took almost a year for Kai to come to trust Omar. Once he began learning what the older man had to teach him though, his entire attitude changed.
He was given a new name, a Mando name, a set of armor, new weapons, and all the training a soldier could dream of. For the next six years he fought beside Oamr and the men that he had come to call family. The memories of his old life seemed to slip away, drifting into the occasional nightmare. Everything seemed to be fine and life had set into a routine. One that he had come to enjoy. It was on his 25th birthday that two horrendous things happened that would change him forever and take him down the path he now walks.
The first was Omar. On a routine patrol on the outskirts of camp, he was attacked by a baby Krayt Dragon. Even being the formidable fighter that he was, he was no match for the creature. The loss of his father figure took the wind out of Kai. Then, not more than two hours after the death of Omar, Kai recieved word that the family he had once know on Fest had been involved in a minor skirmish with some Republic Troops. They had been utterly wiped out. The news devestated the young man.
With little else left in either of the lives he knew, He left. During his time as a mercenary, he had clashed with the Imperial Republic soldiers, and heard plenty of tales of the ferrocity and honor that they fought with. He knew it would be a good test of his abilities and skills. So, with a smile and a sigh, and with his weapons strapped to his body and his helmet under his arm, he stepped out of his past and onto the road of an Imperial Republic Soldier.
