Jacaerys "Jace" Quinn
It doesn't matter how much we sacrifice. If the Sith gain even an inch of ground, we will lose more.
General Information
Faction: Republic
Rank: Senator
Species: Human
Homeworld: Bandomeer
Age: 24
Gender: Male
Force Sensitive: No
Physical Features:
- Face/Head: Jace possesses a rather ordinary face, with dark brown eyes and hair. He keeps his cut short, with only a small amount of slightly longer hair over his forehead being the exception. He has somewhat fair skin.
- Body: Jace is of an average height and build, standing at 5'11". While he is far from scrawny, he is not what one would call overly muscular either, instead finding a happy medium between the two.
- Notable Features: An large burn scar covers much of Jace's torso, having been gained during his service for the Border Alliance.
Clothing/Accessories: Jace wears a wide variety of clothing, from casual shirts and shorts to formal suits, depending on the occasion. One item of clothing that he will wear more often than not, however, is a large black leather jacket.
Personality: Jace is a man full of intensity and charisma, who will rarely back down from his beliefs or stop partway to his goals. This trait can make him seem to be somewhat headstrong to some, as he can sometimes keep at a single point more than may otherwise be necessary. Besides that, however, Jace is normally an incredibly smart and thoughtful man.
He is incredibly extroverted, and quick to interact with those who he doesn't know, turning them into friends and (more importantly) potential allies simply over the coarse of a single day. The man handles isolation badly, and will almost always prefer taking on jobs that would bring him into contact with others rather than those which would require that he work alone.
One other rather obvious aspect of the man's personality is that he was a burning hatred of the Sith brotherhood and the Sacred Band of Ziost. He will do anything within his power to ensure that the Republic is able to defeat them in the ongoing war, and will always advocate their destruction over peace.
Attributes
Strength: 3/10. While not "weak", Jace has never trained with the intention of becoming stronger than the average person, and would find himself out matched by most anyone who has.Stamina: 6/10. During his years as a pilot, Jace has often had to keep himself going long after the average person would have succumbed to fatigue, as a result, he rarely tires, and is able of moving forward with a drive foreign to most. The man's stamina aids him in his senatorial work as well, as he is able to work long hours without showing signs of wear.
Dexterity: 4/10. Jace is about as agile as an averagely fit person, no more and no less.
Intellect: 7/10. As befits his position as a senator, Jace is an incredibly well read and intelligent person. He keeps up to date with most current affairs, and his use of logic can bend people over to his cause almost as readily as a Jedi mind trick.
Instinct: 6/10. No pilot would survive without a strong instinct, and so Jace has developed one out of necessity, While he would prefer to plan his actions ahead of time, when he is cought without a plan, he is generally very good at flying by the edge of his sleeve.
Charisma: 9/10. By far Jace's most impressive skill, he is able to sway the opinions of those around him simply by acting normally. His charisma is what allowed him to become a senator in the first place, and he plans to continue using it in order to benefit the Republic as a whole.
Willpower: 5/10. While Jace lacks the willpower to resist torture and it's like, it is not very easy to dissuade him from his beliefs.
Perception: 8/10. The man's perception is impressive, allowing him to tell all kinds of things about a man simply from reading his body language, among other uses.
Skills
Hand to Hand Combat: 2/10. While he is no stranger to the odd street brawl, Jace would more likely than not find himself on the losing end of them.Ranged Combat: 6/10. He can handle a blaster pistol with skill, as would be required by any pilot downed behind enemy lines.
Slicing: 1/10. Jace's slicing skills are nonexistant.
Piloting: 8/10. A former ace pilot of the Border Alliance, Jace's element is the cockpit of a starfighter. He is able to perform all but the most complex of maneuvers with ease.
Medical Expertise: 2/10. Jace is able to perform some basic first aid. However, that is the limit to his medical skill.
Gear
- 1X B-8R Blaster Pistol, with an upgraded Diatium Alloy barrel.
- 1X Modular Combat Vest MK. IV
- 2X C-03 Caltrop Grenade
- 3X SCKO Grenades
Assets
- The Quinn family estate on Bandomeer.
- Jace's modified Oceanspray Freighter, The Indigo Star, serves as his means of travel between worlds as well as his home away from home when he is on one of the various tasks that come with being a member of the Galactic Senate. While Jace prefers to pilot the ship himself, his M-Series Astromech Droid, M8-N7, serves as his navigator and gunner as needed. The droid, which has been specifically fitted to serve as The Star's pilot, is also capable of piloting the ship himself should the need arise.
- Another ship in Jace's possession is a top of the line RG-5 Assault Starfighter, which he prefers over The Star whenever he participates in a dogfight, or otherwise whenever he needs to blow off some steam through his favorite pastime. M8-N7 is equally able to pilot the RG-5 as he is The Star.
- He is in possession of a senatorial office on both Bandomeer and Chandrila
History
Born as an only child to wealth on the frontier world of Bandomeer, Jace was brought up to be a true Republic patriot by a father who worked as the Senator of Bandomeer and a mother, the more stable presence in Jace's youth, who worked as an executive in the mining industry of the planet. He dreamed of the day that he would be able to help the government that protected in him bringing order and peace to the galaxy at large, and held few ambitions beyond that.From the day that he was old enough to walk and speak, Jace was educated in the finer workings of politics in the hopes that he would one day hold enough influence to ensure the safety and security of Bandomeer as a whole. As much as the child held intense passion for politics, however, his first love turned out to be flying. He began to insist on being trained as a pilot at the age of 9, and by the time that he was 15 was as skilled as some pilots in the military itself.
Despite being underage, Jace made repeated attempts to join the navy of the newly formed Border Alliance at the age of 16. After being refused on Bandomeer, the teen applied again on Raydonia, Botajef, and Taris, being denied each time. It was only when he applied on Mandalore that the recruiter saw his potential, and enlisted him into the Border Alliance.
For the next 3 years Jace served as a pilot within the alliance, and managed to attract the attention of his superiors as a result of his results in various simulators, and his successful capture of an experienced smuggler who had previously evaded Mandalorian authoroties. Eventually he was transferred into the ranks of Defiant Squadron, and began to combat the Sith directly. When the man was 19, he was shot down in a skirmish with the Sacred Band of Ziost, and obtained extensive burns to his body as a result. He was deemed unfit for duty for the next year, and sent back to his home on Bandomeer.
When he returned, Jace discovered that his parents had been killed by a fatal illness during his absence, and that he was the sole surviving inheritor of the Quinn family legacy.
Ever the patriot, the man did not allow the year to pass him by. Instead, he moved back into politics, taking advantage of the influence that he had inherited from his father, as well as his prior experience in the field and his intense natural charisma. He had maneuvered himself into a position as an aide to the current Senator of Bandomeer by the time that he would have been cleared for admission back into Defiant Squadron, but he choose instead to keep working as a politician rather than go back to war. The new Senator had gained his position through the promise of pursuing the fight against the Sith, but as soon as he was secure in his position, began maneuvering for peace instead. It was a stance that Jace himself could not stand, and so he worked himself into a position as the Senator's chief rival. Supported by politicians who lacked the power to become Senator themselves, but thought that they could control a young man like Jace from behind the scenes. The man himself let them believe that he would be a puppet, but had no intentions of letting himself actually become one.
The citizens of Bandomeer were faced with an immense contrast between the two candidates for Senator. One the one hand was Jace, with a youth and passion that appealed greatly to the majority of young voters, and policies that promised nothing less than the absolute defeat of the Sith Brotherhood. On the other hand was the current Senator himself, older and perhaps wiser than his opposition, but far too mild to be effective in times of war. In the end, it was the support that Jace had gained by the politicians who thought to control him that won him the crucial votes, and he found himself as the Senator of Bandomeer at the meager age of 24.
The man worked quickly solidify his position, making common cause with commoners and bureaucrats alike, and even gaining the approval of the ruling powers of Bandomeer. He led his would be puppeteers on for as long as it was necessary, before dropping them the second he no longer needed their backing to remain as Senator. Now in a position of relative authority, and with the resistant trust of the Government of Bandomeer, Jace aims to make sure that the Republic makes it through the ongoing war unscathed, and that the Sith who mean to do her harm are entirely annihilated.
