NAME: Jacen Foretti
FACTION: Waste Rangers
SPECIES: Human - Corellian
AGE: 32
GENDER: Male
HEIGHT: 5’10” (177cm ish)
WEIGHT: 200 lb (90.8 kilos)
EYES: Dark Green
HAIR: Dark auburn
SKIN: Pale
CREDITS: 1,000 credits
DISTINGUISHING MARKS: Ragged scar on the right side of his neck, a green geometric tattoo kept frequently covered on his left wrist, and his wife’s Soul Diamond hanging around his neck.
FORCE SENSITIVE: Negative
STRENGTH: Jacen is stronger than the average Corellian, but only slightly. He can lift and move small furniture on his own, and knows how to land a punch so you can feel it. Due to an injury he sustained during the Sith Invasion of Corellia, he has lost some of the range of motion in his right arm.
DEXTERITY: Always handy in a shootout during his days in CorSec before the fall of Corellia to the Sith, Jacen is spry and nimble. He is ambidextrous in a practical way, he can shoot almost as well and punch just as hard with his left hand as with his right, though his left-handed writing leaves much to be desired. And while he can switch between the two, using both makes him clumsy.
CONSTITUTION: He’s got the stamina to chase down a criminal on foot, but the same injury that limits his right arm will occasionally flare up and give him grief when he’s exerting himself. He doesn’t get sick very often, but when he does, it’s usually a bear of a bug.
INTELLIGENCE: While he can’t tell you one end of a hydrospanner from the other, Jacen is handy with a computer’s security system (and getting around them) and at putting together the pieces of a puzzle, both in the traditional visual sense, and the more applicable investigative sense.
WISDOM: He’s got the streetsmarts to mix with the lower elements of civilization without getting himself a new whole in his back, but he’s never had the patience needed to be considered truly wise. His brother Mykel ran off to be a Jedi, and his family was always impressed with Mykel’s sagacity, which just irritated Jacen.
CHARISMA: Charming enough to convince Khaleen, his Kiffar wife to marry him, Jacen has the wry grin and confidence common to many Corellians. As a former CorSec officer, he was used to giving orders and having people follow them. He is also comfortable and confident when speaking to a group.
(NUMERICALLY SPEAKING:
STR: 6 DEX: 8 CON: 5 INT: 7 WIS: 4 CHA: 6)
FORCE POWERS:
None.
SKILLS:
Jacen’s good at Shooting Things, Chasing People, Investigating, Interrogation, Piloting Speeders, and Going Undercover. He’s got basic skills at Slicing.
LIGHTSABER/SWORD FORMS:
Never one to bring a knife to a gunfight, Jacen isn’t skilled with a sword of any shape. Though he reckons he could do plenty of damage with a knife if you weren’t expecting it.
STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES:
Jacen is a CorSec Officer through and through. He was an excellent Sergeant who was training to become a full Inspector. Justice and Loyalty are the traits he values most. If you’re friend, you’re family and he’ll stand by you, no questions asked. If you’re scum, he’ll see you get what you deserve, and his thoughts on what scum deserves has gotten a bit harsher of late. He’s naturally impatient, with a bit of a bad temper, both of which have only gotten worse since the Fall of Corellia and losing his place in the galax.
GEAR:
He lost most of his possessions after the Sith took Corellia and he ran off. He’s got the clothes on his back, the credits he squirreled away, but never got to the bank, his CorSec Carbine, a duffel of assorted slicing tools and 15 cartridges for his blaster, a simple armored vest to protect against blasters, and his most valued possession, his wife’s Soul Crystal, which he made on the run. True, she wasn’t Corellian, but it was his tradition and all he has left of her.
He was lucky enough to find a Q9-180 Hoverbike in the cargo hold of the Fallen Angel.
The Waste Rangers have provided him with additional gear:
Wide Brimmed Hat, Leather Duster, Wellington Repeater, Wellington Ranger
CorSec Carbine
Vest Armor
Soul Crystal
Vest Armor
Soul Crystal
SHIP:
During his escape from Corellia, Jacen liberated a beat up “modern” version of a YT-1760 small transport that was old when his grandfather was born from the impound yards. It needs some work, and it’s running low on fuel. . .
The previous owner was a seller of flesh, and this transport has seen some modifications from the stock model. The most obvious (from the inside) is that the number of quarters has been halved (it now has four), and the ship and quarters has been designed to be a flying brothel. The cargo capacity has been reduced by 20% to make room for basic ray and particle shields, and a single quad laser cannon turret has been mounted near the center of the saucer’s top.
The name it carried when Jacen stole it was “The Fallen Angel”.
DROIDS:
During his liberation of The Fallen Angel, Jacen acquired the faulty security droid Z-T10-4 (Zeetee). It is an Arakyd Industries Security droid. Originally intended to aid CorSec officers on patrol, this unit had faulty programming and tended towards cowardice and squeamishness. Due to this, and the department’s unwillingness to spend money on reprogramming the droid, it was assigned to Impound Security. Obviously not good at this job either, it followed Jacen and the dying Khaleen onto The Fallen Angel as it kept telling them they weren’t allowed to take the ship. It finally quit arguing when the broke atmosphere. After Khaleen succumbed to her injuries and died, Zeetee found he had a surprising knack at grief counseling and tried to help Jacen accept his loss, and assisted with the Rites and creation of Khaleen’s Soul Crystal.
He is equipped with a holorecorder, personal ray shields, and a stunner. Though he tends to be too afraid to shoot anything and prefers to hide, rather than rely on his shielding. He has a deep, authoritative male voice, which is ironically (at times hilariously so) at odds with his worrisome, cowardly behavior and speech patterns.
PETS:
None.
PERSONALITY:
Jacen is a tough, straight-to-the-point guy. He joined CorSec to help people and to keep his community safe. He won’t take your druk, and he doesn’t like excuses. He’s both overly-judgemental and stubborn once he think he’s got a bead on someone. If you’re a scumbag, he won’t trust you and will make sure you get what’s coming. If you’re a friend, you’re family, and he’ll always have your back. If you prove him wrong, he won’t admit it. Not at first. You’ll have to earn his favor, or really kriff it up to switch his opinion of you. But if you manage to change his mind once, you’d best not expect him to do it again. It’s harder to change his mind to a negative opinion than a positive one.
He works hard, but enjoyed his off-time with family. He’s impatient and overly aggressive at times, but he means well. He wants to make the galaxy a safer place. That used to mean rounding up the bad guys, giving them a fair trial and jail time, with the occasional truly awful criminal receiving a death sentence. But after watching the Sith destroy everything he knew and loved, and watching criminals take advantage of the chaos and the suffering, he’s starting to think that maybe justice should take a firmer hand.
BIOGRAPHY:
Born on Corellia to an engineer and an CorSec Inspector, he took after his mother more than his father. His disinterest in engineering and building things caused a bit of a rift between him and his father, but both of his parents were proud of him and his career in CorSec. He had one sibling, a younger brother Mykel who discovered his Force Sensitivity and left Corellia to become a Jedi. Mykel was more patient, more understanding, and deeper in thought and emotion than Jacen. Which served him well in his desire to become a Jedi, but caused some sibling rivalry when people realized the elder brother behaved more immaturely.
During an undercover assignment with CorSec, Jacen met Khaleen, a kiffar who used her psychometric abilities to become an upscale gallery owner. She was able to sense the history of the art she sold, which helped both establish provenance, and some of the artist’s intentions. Jacen’s assignment had him investigating a crime ring and the criminals he had infiltrated were art thieves. He first met Khaleen while the thieves were casing the gallery, and he developed an immediate fondness for her. When he went with the thieves to bust them after the heist, she was unexpectedly still at her gallery. He blew his cover mid-heist to protect her, which earned him a blaster bolt to the thigh and a commendation after the criminals were beaten and brought in. After the case was closed, she asked him to dinner. They got married a few years later. She taught him about art, he told her funny stories and made her laugh.
They spent three years together, and then the Sith invaded Corellia. As part of CorSec, he was part of the forces fighting the invasion. Two years into the fighting, Jacen was stabbed in the neck. The stories vary, but the end result was the same. There was an intense CF of a firefight, then the next thing he knew, Jacen was looking up with two feet of sharpened durasteel was sticking out of his shoulder, just where it met the neck. He was rushed to a field medical facility and was patched up, but the wound never healed properly. Some of the muscles around the site were damaged, and he can no longer raise his right arm higher than his shoulder. He spent the next six months behind a computer, coordinating resistance troops.
It was the worst six months he’d ever had to that point and going back into the field was a relief. During the last days of the invasion, Sith Forces broke through into the cramped neighborhood the resistance fighters were using as quarters. Khaleen was shot in the back before anyone could respond. Corellian forces quickly chased them from the scene, but the damage was done. Cursing himself for not arguing more with her to leave Corellia and stay with her parents on Kiffu until the fighting was done, Jacen applied a trauma patch to her wound and carried her to a speeder. He flew like a maniac to an old impound lot and stole an old YT-1760 that some creep had turned into a flying whorehouse. Figuring it was good enough to get him out, and noticing it had a walled off section of the Cargo Hold with delusions of being a medbay, he started her up and took off. He wasn’t thinking straight, or he’d have thought about the blockade and Sith Navy terrorizing the skies and space of his system.
He used a half-hearted resistance sally against a cruiser as cover while he charted a jump out of the system and just barely made it out in one piece. His intention had been to jump to a safe planet and get Khaleen proper medical assistance, but when he went to check on her, she was dead. He spent several days adrift as he mourned his wife, then several weeks slumming it with smugglers and mercenaries across several systems. At some point during this period, the droid Zeetee, who was supposed to be guarding the impound lot Jacen stole the ship from, help the former officer cremate his wife, hold Last Rites and compress her remains into a soul diamond, which Jacen wears on a pendant around his neck.
At one point during his grief-wanderings, he found himself on Nar Shaddaa, and attended the Nar Shaddaa Games put on by Addipos.
During his time drowning his grief, he heard rumors and stories about a group of hard men and women out in Wild Space who fought hard for Justice and weren’t afraid to get their hands drty in an attempt to make the galaxy a better place. With the last of his fuel, and the transport needing serious repairs, he plotted a course to Zonju V.
He made it to Zonju V, but his landing was a bit harried since his fuel ran out halfway to planetside. It was rougher than he'd have liked. And the ship will need a bit more repairing. But it's down and he's arrived. After a brief confab with the Rangers, he's agreed to join their quest to wipe out scum across the galaxy.
