NAME: Claudia Niekahl
NICKNAME: Roxy
ALIAS: Rex Gallicka
HOMEWORLD: Coruscant
PROFESSION: Trader/Smuggler/Pilot
FACTION: Galactic Alliance
RANK: Rebel
SPECIES: Human
AGE: 22
GENDER: Female
HEIGHT: 182 cm / 6'0
WEIGHT: 60 kg / 134 lbs
FORCE SENSITIVE: No
APPEARANCE:
Tall enough with a thin, lean build. Dark hair, blue eyes, low, angry brows, and a strong jaw. Scar above her left eye, through her eyebrow, and burn scarring on some of the left side of her body, left leg and left arm. Usually wears her hair tied back, or just cuts it all off when she gets too frustrated with it. She keeps herself clean and has good hygene, but usually dresses like a gruff fringe spacer, preferring colors like black, red, and orange. Usually open-carries her weapons to dissuade would-be trouble makers.
She often wears her lucky red Imperial 337th Regiment bomber jacket.
ATTRIBUTES:
She's smart and strong willed, otherwise fairly average across the board. She's mentally tough, but her body's not in the same shape it was in the Imperial Army. She has a few lingering injuries from her army days: fractured left wrist and left shin that never fully recovered just right, and occasional back and neck problems. Her biggest weakness is her aggressive, bellicose nature. She has a tendency to act first, think later. She's fearless in a reckless sense of the word, proud as hell, and zealous in her beliefs. She talks big, and is always looking for a chance to back it up. Trying to prove to the galaxy, and herself, that she's not some defenseless little girl, and she 'ain't just a no name street rat.
PERSONALITY:
A proud, zealous firecracker. Headstrong and always looking for a challenge. She has a very competitive nature. She's an anti-imperial extremist, very opinionated, with her own radical ideas on how things should work. She wants to change the galaxy, and she has no problems brute forcing her way into political power. Anyone that gets in her way can go to hell. In contrast to her outwardly aggressive personality, her very nature is that of a sharp minded strategist and political animal. She's also a bit superstitious, and believes in luck and lucky (or unlucky) charms.
She struggles between wanting to live her life in peace now that she finally has a say in it, and wanting to fight to make the galaxy a better place for everyone.
Desires:
- Have a home, on a world somewhere. Somewhere comfortable to sleep and live besides a cramped freighter.
- A love life. There hasn't been much time or room in her life for partners. It's been lonely since she left the army, and even more so since her band of deserters broke up.
- A comfortable civilian life, living as an honest trader, focusing on her company. Preferably in a galaxy without the Empire.
- Power to make a difference in the galaxy.
Hobbies:
- Gambling
- Swoop Racing
- Shock Boxing
- Video Games
BIOGRAPHY:
Claudia Niekahl. Former Imperial Citizen. Born on the lower levels of Coruscant. Troubled youth, bad record. Misdemeanors and felonies including: theft, vandalism, harassment, assault, street racing, breaking & entering, burglary, armed robbery, distribution and consumption of narcotics, and gang activity. Lucky for her, the Empire's need for manpower in the recent decade let her off easy when she was finally brought in during Imperial round-ups of thugs and criminals in a campaign to scrape the barrel for men and women to send off to the army.
The Army waived a lot of their ages. She began in the infantry at 16. Aptitude testing suggested she be placed into officer training, but it was denied, citing criminal background and circumstances of recruitment. She showed talent after 4 months, seeing combat twice on Thustra, and was moved to a cavalry scout unit; Bravo Company, 1st Battalion, 337th Cavalry Scout Regiment, 3rd Brigade Scout Team, 96th Armor Division. With the 337th, she was stationed on a handful of worlds, and saw combat on Roche before making Sergeant in just three years of service, and went on to see combat on Telos before being officially recommended and considered for officer training.
The recommendation was denied, citing again criminal background, as well as accounts of inappropriate behaviour and insubordination during her service with the 96th Armor Division. Sergeant Niekahl deserted with a number of other soldiers from similar recruitment programs after Telos. Imperial records show she began operating with an armed radical group somewhere in the outer rim, under the alias of Rex Gallicka. She is listed as an anti-imperial extremist and suspected of aiding the rebellion, and numerous acts of terrorism.
After her desertion, she made a living with her fellow deserters as a thief, pirate, and smuggler, operating mostly against Imperial and Imperial-aligned assets. Eventually the group fell apart, but she got her hands on a light freighter and ended up operating as a mostly legitamate and licensed trader and pilot. She founded and licensed Gallicka, a small company with her ship as the company's only asset, and herself as the sole proprietor. She maintained legitamate hired crew, usually only people with anti-imperial sentiments who she either trusted or were seedy enough not to say anything if they moved a little "extra" cargo under the table here and there. She used the company as a front to aid the anti-Imperial insurgent groups like the Rebellion.
SKILLS:
She has training and experience with marksmanship, CQC, and military vehicles from her time as a cavalry scout. She's accustomed to deception and stealth, both from growing up as a gangster and street rat on Coruscant, and as an outlaw spacer in the outer rim. Street racing on Coruscant and her familiarity with Imperial vehicles has translated well to a newfound love of piloting.
