BIOGRAPHY
Gatz Derrevar was born on Naboo, to two doting, but impoverished parents. At a young age, it was discovered that Gatz was Force Sensitive, and strongly so. Though his parents loved him dearly, they struggled to support even just themselves, much less a growing child. As such, they sought out the Jedi, and left Gatz with the Order, hoping the Jedi could give him a better life than they ever could.
As a Youngling, Gatz was mischievous, and known for causing trouble. The instructors at the Academy often reprimanded him for being so childish, and even at such a young age, Gatz began to become disillusioned with the life that had been chosen for him. He was not fond of the strict and stark restrictions of the Order, and was even less pleased with their problem with their insistence on their Jedi Code.
And so Gatz Derrevar left the order at the age of nine, returning to his home on Naboo. Though he had not learned much of the Force at the Academy, having never been chosen as a Jedi Padawan, Gatz did learn how to rely on it to aid his senses. As he continued to grow up on Naboo, young Derrevar used these acute senses of his to further his budding career as a pilot.
Gatz scored his first job, as the pilot of a public transport. He worked that job for a year, until he was eighteen years old. He quit, intending to try his hand at enlisting with the Royal Naboo Starfighting Corps as a pilot. However, tragedy struck when his father died as a result of a mugging. Now needing a greater influx of income to help support his mother, Gatz gave up on his dream of attending the RNSC pilot academy, and instead took command of his father’s aging IFST-21 light freighter, using it to run odd jobs.
This was where his career as a smuggler started. Though transporting cargo was the honest way of doing things, Gatz didn’t feel as though he earned enough credits. But smuggling items off of Nar Shaddaa? The pay was more than enough to make a living, while also providing for his mother back on Naboo.
And so, six years later, Gatz is still flying the IFST-21, now dubbed “The Long March,” as an experienced smuggler.
PERSONALITY
Gatz is brash and seeks excitement. Officially, he’s an independent contractor who works as a freighter pilot, but make no mistake; what Gatz hauls the most is illegal goods, and that brings the scum of the galaxy to his doorstep. He is an Ace Pilot who feels most comfortable, obviously, at the helm of his ship. Though Gatz let his Jedi training fall into disuse long ago, he is no slouch in a fight. He carries a blaster pistol on him at all times, always paranoid that someone has their crosshair on the back of his head.
SKILLS
Gatz is an expert pilot, something exacerbated by both his natural talent, and hours of practice. Need to break a blockade? Gatz can make it possible, provided he’s flying an appropriate ship. When Gatz is in the pilot seat, he is at his best. This skill benefits from Gatz’s inherent Force Sensitivity, which heightens his ability to almost unnatural levels.
What kind of smuggler doesn’t know how to splice? Gatz picked this skill up from a Rodian on Nar Shaddaa, and it comes in handy when he needs to bypass government technology. Especially when it comes to getting through doors Gatz is supposed to be stopped by.
After leaving the Jedi Order, Gatz decided to further distance himself from the Order by adapting his fighting style: that is, learning to rely on a blaster, as opposed to a lightsaber. While he’s far from the best shot he knows, Gatz is more than proficient with his sidearm.
Gatz has had to, on more than one occasion, patch up his ship. Though he’s never received any formal instruction, Gatz has gleamed enough information from manuals and the like to be able to complete quick repairs. Just don’t expect anything fancy.
Though Gatz was never formally apprenticed to a Jedi Knight, he was a youngling for most of his youth. As such, he has limited training in the use of the Force, and is capable of both rudimentary Force Sense and Telekinesis. Just don't ask him to see the future, or lift anything more than five pounds.
