So ya wanna know my story huh. You think I'm some hired gun... A simple minded gunslinger, that will do anything for a few credits? Hah *takes a sip of his hard liquor and slams the glass down on the table*. I'll tell you my story, listen closely.

I grew up on tatooine. I had a pretty simple childhood, I spent most of my time helping my parents on their moisture farm. My parents were actually quite wealthy, they had the most successful moisture farm in the sector. Maybe it was because the sector we lived in was known to be settled by Tusken raiders. This of course didn't phase my father, as he was a wealthy and powerful man. We had a decent sized labor force consisting of droids, workers, and armed guards. It's not fair to say we were moisture farmers, we were more entrepreneurs that ran a moisture plantation.

Although he was a wealthy entrepreneur, my father was honest and humble; a good man that believed hard work is the key to success. Everyday he would go and work on the moisture plantation with the workers. He payed his workers well and gave them room and board. The droids got regular maintenance and memory wipes. My father was a great man, everyone loved him and looked up to him. *takes another sip of his alcohol* I'm not like my father.

When I was about 19 I was following in my fathers footsteps, I was supposed to be the next owner of our plantation but fate had other plans for me. I remember It was just another normal day on the plantation, all the work had been finished and everyone was gathered in the dining hall, drinking and eating and having happy conversation when it happened... I remember a sentry running into the dining hall, blood gushing out of his side, he yelled about a Tusken raider attack and promptly collapsed. Almost in an instant the dining hall was in chaos. The staff was running around, pulling blasters out of weapons lockers and running towards the conflict. *he took a final gulp of his drink and placed the glass upside down on the bar, signaling the bartender for another* My father insisted that I go and hide but I refused, I had fought sand people before, I was proficient with a gun. He knew he couldn't stop me, so my father told me to be careful and ran towards the conflict. I grabbed my dual blaster pistols, holstered them, grabbed my rifle, and headed outside.

I expected to see a few raiders firing randomly, but instead I saw a coalition of several large clans invading the plantation. They were slaughtering many of the workers and destroying the moisture collectors. I went wild... I was firing my rifle as fast as it could fire, mowing down Tuskens. Before I knew it the rifle was dry, so I threw it on the ground and pulled my blasters out. I fired two rounds directly into the chest of a chieftain of one of the tribes, tearing away at his garb and I watched as he slumped backwards and slid off the Bantha he was riding. I smiled and paused for a moment, and in that moment the gaffi stick of a Tusken raider connected with the back of my skull, rendering me unconscious. And well, this is where my childhood ended, and my true life began.

I awoke to the most devastating sight of my life. My home, the place I've known my entire life, had been burned to the ground, and all around me lay hundreds of bodies. Bodies of my friends and family as well as a large amount of Tusken raiders. I sat and cried for a considerable amount of time, before I decided I needed to bury my father. I couldn't bury everyone else because I knew the raiders would be back. So I found my fathers body and said my last goodbye before I buried him. *taking a swig of the new glass the bartender had just brought him and pausing for a moment* sorry this is hard for me to talk about...

Anyways, after my short burial service, I grabbed everything I could. I filled a pack with some basic supplies, I found my dual pistols and holstered them, I grabbed a rifle off the ground and slung it over my shoulder and finally I found my fathers old duster coat and threw it on. It was a little big, but I knew I'd grow into it. I then proceeded to head towards the closest town, which isn't very close. The town was mos gamos, a very small settlement.

I needed a job. Not for money, but for guidance. My fathers inheritance was plenty of money, even with his estate destroyed, he still had a huge amount of credits in his accounts which I now had full access to. I worked for some time as a bounty hunter for a hutt. I didn't like that work. Too impersonal. Hutts are cruel, and I had no companionship. So I joined up with a young human freighter captain named Coral Artellian. She was beautiful... My one love actually hehe. We had some good times in her bunk *he said laughing and taking yet another sip of his drink*. Among her crew was a quirky rodian slicer, a zabrak engineer, and a Chiss medical officer. The 5 of us had some great times. They hired me as a security expert. Basically I did most of the shooting on our missions. We ran supplies to Alliance forces on the front lines to make some extra credits for our other missions and as a big F-U to the empire. Our other missions consisted of treasure hunting and exploration. All of us found exploring unknown regions and having adventures on lost planets so exciting... I spent many years on that crew. Some of the best years of my life.... I thought they were never going to end.... But of course they did. One of our many run ins with the empire turned deadly. We were accused of smuggling sith artifacts off korriban, so they boarded our ship to arrest us. We fought back.. A huge firefight erupted throughout the narrow hallways of our frigate. The Imps killed the rodian and the zabrak. We managed to push the imps back onto their ship, but not before the Chiss killed coral. Turns out he was a double agent for the empire, using us to get locations of alliance bases that we ran supplies to... I was so angry.. He tried to get me to join him.. He claimed they needed people like me in imperial intelligence... But after all those years of friendship, he had turned around and killed the only woman I ever loved. I didn't say a word. I blasted his damn face right off his face. *a tear rolls down his cheek and he promptly wipes it away* I cremated the rodian, zabrak, and coral and I threw the chiss's body out an airlock. I became captain of the freighter.

The alliance was on it's last legs at that point. I figured I'd go and help out the alliance to try and get my mind off of the recent events. I ended up on coruscant for the last stand. I decided to join one of the many volunteer militia units. My history as a bounty hunter and smuggler for the alliance earned me a spot in a squad on the front lines. It was a bloody battle. Hell it was horrifying. I blasted more imperials than I could count. I even killed a few sith, but that was mostly luck and a few tactically placed thermal detonators. I fought to the bitter end. The fighting got so bad, that there was a point when most of the soldiers on both sides had run out of ammo and we were charging each other, using our guns as clubs and our fists to pound and strangle each other. I finally got the evac order, so myself and the few alliance guardsmen fell back as the imperials and mandalorians dragged themselves forward. I ran to my ship and took as many soldiers with me as I could. Flying out of coruscant airspace and into neutral space. The alliance had crumbled, so my main employer had disappeared. I figured I could retire with all the money I had collected, but I decided I was too young for retirement so after a long debate with my new crew composed of ex alliance soldiers that decided to join my little resistance, we flew to correllia to join resistance fighting there.

I fought on correllia to the bitter end. For ever inch of land the empire got, I made sure they lost a life. I wanted to make it hard and painful for them to take correllia, as did everyone other resistance fighter. We put everything we had into delaying the imperial war machine, and we were quite possibly the biggest pains in the asses that the empire had seen to date. But as you know, correllia fell to the empire as well.

So your wondering why I, axel specter the well renowned gunslinger, smuggler, and war hero is here in this bar on nar Shadaa now? Drinking away my sorrows. Well... Because I deserve a damn drink after everything I've gone through. Now get lost unless your gonna buy me another drink.​

This is just a rough design, I know there is a lot of tweaking to be done.

Looks pretty good for now, I'd suggest a spoiler for easy to access information such as age species and all that, but so far so good

No, the img does not need to be in capitals. You have put quotes around the image link, simply remove those.
