[ABILITY SUMMARY]
ezgif.com-resize%202_zpssqvnzcue.gif
Surviving on the smuggler's moon by yourself as a Human kid isn't easy, especially with Jahn's knack for getting into trouble. But fending for himself for so long has offered the lad a unique set of skills with the perfect environment to hone them. An inherently quick thinker, he's gotten himself out of more bad situations than he can count with only his brain to thank for it afterwards. He's not some extraordinary individual driven by unrealistic ideals and seemingly endless determination. He's just a kid who's learned the hard way how to play the cards he's dealt. Thanks to some of his more shady associates, he knows a bit about security tunneling and can get through most simple locks. What separates him from other scoundrels however is his almost complete inability to talk himself out of trouble. He most definitely does not have a silver-tongue...more like bronze.

As far as combat goes, Jahn is an efficient scrapper. He has no formal training and isn't overly strong, but he is agile, and he has an almost uncanny knack for thinking on his feet and adjusting to battle on the fly. While no professional by any means, Jahn definitely knows his way around a fight and above all is a survivor. He's always been a magnet for trouble...so saying that he's been in his "fair share of scrapes" is an understatement. Because of this, he can take one hell of a beating. Jahn owns a blaster pistol but admittedly is not a good shot with it. Reliant more on quickness and improvisation rather than brute strength, Jahn is a dexterous fighter who knows how to capitalize on an opportunity. A more seasoned warrior could pick him apart in an extended engagement, but with some refinement he could eventually become quite the force to be reckoned with.

[SUBJECT SUMMARY]
Jahn was raised by a single mother who worked herself ragged trying to provide for herself and her child. He never knew his father. Every time he asked about him his mom either changed the subject or flat out refused to talk about him. But despite the fact that he wasn't a part of their lives, he never once heard her speak ill of the man. For years the two drifted from place-to-place, never staying in one location for more than a few months. His mother took whatever job she could find, often more than one in order to earn enough credits for them to eat. They were homeless a lot of the time and he still remembers a few instances where they had to go without food for days on end. But Jahn's mother always did the best she could and always, always put him before herself. He idolized her. She was infallible. Her love and the lessons she taught him still stick with him to this day. Life wasn't easy by any means, but as long as they had each other it seemed like they could make it through anything...

That all changed when she fell horribly ill one day. Jahn was only seven when it happened. He went around begging and pleading local doctors to help his mother, but they were far too poor to afford any of the medications available, let alone treatments. In the end all he could do was stay by her side as the sickness got progressively worse. And then one morning in some slum on Nar Shadaa...the boy watched as his mother passed away. Looking back on things, this was likely the event that shaped his outward attitude. Up until that day he had been a relatively happy child...but afterwards? It was like there was dark cloud constantly hanging over the boy's head. Luckily some of the other homeless on the smuggler's moon took pity on the child, or he would have undoubtedly starved to death. This tragedy shook the foundations of his entire world. He had nobody. Nothing. Loneliness was his only friend.

They say time heals all wounds...but this one remained. Time only dulled the pain. Grief delayed it awhile, but eventually his self-preservation instinct kicked in, and it was in that moment Jahn decided that he wanted to live on. So over the course of the next eleven years the lad did just that. Sure he fell in with some people of questionable character here and there, and sure he was sometimes forced to do things he didn't like in order to survive, but through it all he managed to retain the same strong moral compass that his mother passed on to him. It was almost like her will, in a way. And now Jahn keeps it safe beneath his guarded expression and serious demeanor.



[PSYCHOLOGICAL SUMMARY]
ezgif.com-resize%203_zpsywrtuplb.gif
Jahn is a complex young man. At first glance he's a very solemn individual, even melancholic from time-to-time. Growing up on his own and learning to fend for himself meant he didn't have much time to be a kid. He's not particularly warm or happy, and catching him smiling is rare. His default mood seems to be somber (and for good reason), but underneath this exterior lies something else entirely. Tenderness towards loved ones and a kind heart, both of which he undoubtedly inherited from his mother. He's not traditionally wise, but over the years he's accrued enough street smarts to survive on his own, and that counts for a hell of a lot in this galaxy. As far as the self-confidence department goes? He's not lacking in the slightest. But he isn't arrogant about how he shows it (not intentionally...for the most part). Jahn has a soft spot for outcasts and the unlucky. And despite him knowing better, he often finds himself sticking his neck out to help others at his own expense.

Of course where there are positive aspects of his personality there are just as many flaws. The subject of his late mother is a sensitive one and insulting her in any way is a surefire way to set him off. Threatening his loved ones invokes the same response. This can easily be used against him with the proper know-how. His sometimes off putting demeanor often earns him the ire of the others, and in this regard Jahn is oblivious. He's naturally inclined to being a loner, and he doesn't like relying on others at all. Pride is a big issue for him as well and it all but inhibits him from accepting handouts. He's slow to trust and generally warms to people just as quickly. An air of general bitterness surrounds him, not doing him any particular favors in a social sense. Possibly a side effect of growing up on the smuggler's moon, he also holds little respect for institutions as a whole. They've certainly never done him any favors and he all too often witnesses their selfishness firsthand. Jahn as of right now has no faith in the energy that binds the galaxy together (i.e. the Force). He's heard some stories, but he's never seen a Jedi or Sith in person. As far as he's concerned the Force is just an excuse for those groups to exert their influence.



[ASSET SUMMARY]
"DX-series" Blaster Pistol
8a88e9a8-1095-4586-b014-c5642ceca881_zpsskptn7be.jpg
- A surprisingly reliable old blaster Jahn bought used for cheap. He's not sure on the exact specs of the weapon but it packs a nasty punch. It's capable of knocking chunks out of stone walls and even punching small holes in durasteel. Good for 50 shots before it needs a new power cell. He doesn't own a holster so he usually tucks it into the back of his waistband.

Laser Lockpick
Laser-Pointer-Plane_024160582468_zpsgcpmrxbp.jpg
- A handy little device that helps with getting through doors. Capable of burning holes through (non-reinforced) material at very close range. Only works on simple mechanical locks.

Holocommunicator
holoprojector%20copy_zpsdufkndah.jpg
- "Appropriated" from a lowlife thug here. It's a basic communicator that can be used to transmit or receive holograms. It isn't exactly the most advanced piece of technology and is prone to lag and distorted images.


[SIGHTINGS]

Humble Beginnings... - ONGOING
- Jahn runs into trouble with a local gang. It's only by the skin of his teeth and with some assistance from a few new acquaintances he gets out alive.

Cleaning Up The Streets - ONGOING
- An interesting business proposal shows up on Jahn's doorstep. It's just about the craziest plan he's ever heard...but there's a chance that it just might work.

[THOUGHTS]

Shiri
"What can I say about her? It's...hard to feel sorry for myself when Shiri's around. I've known her for a few years now, ever since her parents dropped her in a gutter and left her to fend for herself. I'm no foster home...but I do what I can to help her out from time-to-time. No child should have to deal with what she's been through. Ever." A few moments pass before a faint smile graces his face, a rare sight to see indeed. "She seems to have the same penchant for getting into trouble as I do. Except she's a little better than me at getting out of it. Shiri's a good kid. She deserves better than what she has."

Rika Youngblood
"Some mysterious white-haired woman. She saved my skin in that alley. A group of two-bit thugs had blasters trained on my head and a blade to Shiri's throat. She...set one of them on fire...somehow. I also saw her break a Gamorrean's neck like it was a twig. There's definitely something...'off' about her but I don't really care. To be honest, I'm just glad she happened to be nearby when things came to a head. I'm not sure if we would've made it out of that one without her help..."

Eris Vesta
"A kid I met in that same alleyway mess. She seemed easily startled...which isn't surprising for a lone child on the smuggler's moon. Especially one that had a blaster pulled on her was subsequently shot at. Other than that I don't know much else about her."

Durak
"I would not want to fight this guy. Probably the biggest Zabrak I've ever seen, with ambitions to match his stature. I got in touch with him after he left a datapad on my doorstep. He said he had plans to "do some good for the people of Nar Shaddaa". Didn't believe that for a second. At least at first. Now? Well...I'm still not sure. His grand plan involves killing a Hutt..." His brow furrows slightly. "...there are much easier ways to commit suicide."

Action Survivor. Damn good at being in the wrong place at the right time. He's no hero and he isn't particularly skilled either. His own wit and resourcefulness play a bigger part in him surviving than his combat abilities...most of the time.

Has a few Berserk Buttons. Despite his normally sullen demeanor, there are a handful of things that can pierce his guard and invoke Jahn's rage. Insulting his late mother in any way, shape, or form is the fastest way to do this. Threatening his friends or loved ones is another. And lastly preying on the helpless will also earn his ire.

Born Unlucky. The Force must hate him. He has just about the worst day-to-day luck out of anyone he knows. Been that way his whole life.

Deadpan Snarker. Mostly in his head. But anyone he doesn't like will probably get quite a healthy dose of this.

Somewhat Genre Savvy. Wishes he was moreso. He's aware enough to know that being a hero often gets you killed...but still chooses to help those in need despite this knowledge (to his own chagrin).

The Indy Ploy is his greatest skill, and being good at improvisation is what kept him alive on the smuggler's moon. He's certainly not the strongest lad out there. Nor the quickest. But thinking his way out of bad situations is the closest thing to a talent he has.

Mangst. Watching your own mother die slowly of disease would cause a great deal of this even in the stoutest of men....Jahn was just a child when this happened to him. Due to his quiet nature, he rarely shares his angst with others. All that brooding isn't for nothing...

Mild case of No Social Skills. Growing up on the streets probably attributed to this. And unlike most "scoundrels" Jahn seems incapable of talking himself out of trouble. If anything his mouth often makes things worse for him.

The Stoic. On the outside, at least. He can be (just about) as talkative as any normal person once he warms to someone, but most of the time he prefers to be his silent, introverted self.

@Benvenu7 of course! As far as being a criminal I'm not so sure but I'm always down to RP. It'd be interesting trying to convince Jahn to become one.

@Jahn Nors think our character would be up for getting a large sum of credits. By kicking some hutt off his high horse, on Nar Shadda it would be a long thread maybe even several threads if your interested. It will surprisingly might help the people of a district in Nar Shadda
