Essential Infomation
—————————————
Newton Arden is a non-force sensitive Human male during the New Century era. Once just a ordinary, but shut-in kid from Courscant with a gift and affinity with robotics, would go on to nurture his gift, growing up with the astromech droid companion he created when he was very young who he still travels with to this day. Eventually after graduating through classes and going on to the Coruscant Institute of Technology, he would then find himself in contact with Blackwell for his skill in droids.

After joining Blackwell Technlogies - his dream job - he would slowly see how ruthless the megacorporation is. But he would rise above it all. Starting out as a Blackwell Automata employee, he would start in droid design, eventually designing his first droid for the company the D3-NB, a big success and the first of many, he also proved to be a good salesman as well, and would become rich due to commission and royalties. Eventually he would become a Project Manager at Blackwell, he was given more power and higher pay and would go on to design more droids and further enrich himself.

Eventually, Newton was elevated to become Blackwell's Chief Technology Officer. It was from there that Newton's rapid ascent up the corporate ladder earned him the position of CEO of Blackwell, making cementing himself as a very well-known figure of the galaxy as the head of the one of the galaxy's largest mega-corporations.


Biography
——————
Newton Arden was born on the sprawing ecumenpolis world Coruscant. He and his family were folk who lived on the upper levels on the city-world, being a well-to-do family, they had it decent. Newton had a decent childhood parents had jobs that kept them away most of the time, his father Higgs is a university professor, while his mother Curie works as a medical doctor. Newton didn't have many interests or hobbies, what he did find fascinating were droids. He first saw his favorite droid characters on the holoscreens, a show with characters that were based on the legendary droids R2-D2 and C-3PO and developed an interest in them, finding them to be marvelous machines. Sturdy, shiny, and magnificent. It wouldn't be long until he would eventually be tinkering with the family caretaker droid, experimenting, dissembling, to see how it works.. Although he had blunders of course at first, in time he would become quite a droid mechanic for his age, being able to dissemble the droid and put it back together.

Growing up, Newton would nurture his gift for robotics whenever he could, even building his own fully functional droid just scratch from scavenged and spare parts all before his age went into the double-digit numbers. It was an old R3-series Droid which he would name 'M7', which would be his companion and best friend (and learning droidspeak in the process), as he was never much of a people's person, having few actual friends.

As he became an adult, he would graduate from primary school at the top of his class. After that he would then enroll into the Coruscant Institute of Technology, continuing his path into robotics. Even in CIT, Newton continued to be a loner, dedicating himself to his craft, although he still had his droid M7 as his friend.

Eventually after getting his degree, Newton found himself approached from a representative from Blackwell Technologies. Recognizing his talent, he was offered a position as a designer at Blackwell, to which he was surprised. Blackwell Technologies is one of the biggest corporations in the galaxy, and he would be offered a position in their droidworks division Blackwell Automata. Newton couldn't turn it down, he gets to design and build droids for a major corporation, a dream-job of his, so he signed on with them.

It wasn't before too long that Newton would develop a mind-set based of advancing his position with in the corporation, to move up. He also seeks credits and have peace of mind. Not only that, Newton also seeks to push the envelope to new heights in the robotics field. With the re-emergence of the Sith and the chaos they have brought unto the galaxy... maybe this is a time to strike while the iron is hot.

Personality
———————
Newton is nothing if but a professional company-man for Blackwell Tech. He has served the mega-corporation well and with pride ever since he started out as a low level employee. Although was looking for a prosperous career, looking to make bank, and embrace his passion for droid design, over time he became concerned with success and advancement to fit in with Blackwell culture. Newton never was a 'social butterfly' and hardly made friends, and although he has made more acquaintances and a few people he can call a friend, he prefers the company of machines or his devices instead, but as a sales person he will interact with other people if need be.

Morality never was Newton's strong suit. For example for a potential product idea, Newton would sooner have answers to the question 'can we?' instead of 'should we?'. Newton doesn't go out of his way to commit crimes, but he will be ruthless, amoral, and pragmatic to get to his goal if need be. As a sales person, he only cares of the credits are good, or anything else that could benefit his work.

Above all else, above being a marketing director or a sales person, he is a roboticist. From child-hood, droids have been his biggest passion and that remains so and is always looking to further the field.

Despite all his cold, calculating personality and his ruthlessness, he is loyal to his companion droid he assembled in his childhood M7, despite it being a of a model-line from over a century ago. Although he thinks of even his 'childern' - the droids he designed/made - as tools, M7 is his favorite. Newton will take M7 with him on even his most important meetings and some of his adventures, although he will not risk him when in potentially very dangerous situations and will never give him a memory wipe.
