[IMG]http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b365/DesenteBlissex/CC/Adrian.jpg[/IMG] [i.] -- Schematics: Full Name: Adrian Ravenna Gender: Male Approximate Age: Twenty Apparent Age: early twenties Race: Human Class: Spy Force Sensitive: Yes Occupation: CSIS Intelligence Agent Rank: Special Agent (Rank 3) Affiliations: Contegorian Confederation -- {presently} Homeworld: Susevfi Nobility: None Marital Status: Unmarried Languages Spoken: • Galactic Basic [ii.] -- Physical Appearance Height: 1.83 Meters Weight: 72.57 Kilograms Hair: dark hair (naturally) Hairstyle and colour vary from mission to mission Eyes: Green Build: Husky, Toned; Athletic Skin: fair complexion; rough skin Voice: average, dull Handed: Right [iii.] -- History Adrian Ravenna was born to Marie Ravenna on Susevfi shortly after her husband’s death at the hands of the Invid Pirates. Fearing those that had killed her husband, Marie took the infant Ravenna and quietly left Susevfi, searching throughout the Quence Sector for a safer place for her child to grow up. In galaxy that was ripe with chaos and violence, she had little luck finding that one place. Initially, she moved to Xiunsrus. However, the Bloodsniffer Swoop gang frequently raided, and then destroyed the village where they lived. Adrian was several years old when they moved again. Marie tried several locations around the Empartheca system. Finally, they settled on Elshandruu Pica, a health resort world, when Adrian was ten years old. In his youth, Adrian’s primary interest was understanding how the galaxy and its peoples. around him worked. His travels and continual moving within the Quence Sector gave him oppurtunities to meet a variety of people, and in most cases, the curious boy frequently talked to strangers, about anything from their culture to their clothes, much to his mother’s dismay. Eventually, Adrian had absorbed much commonplace knowledge about a variety of people and their situations, that he was able to quickly and accurately size up people and situations. It became pure intuition. In his younger teen years, he became able to use this intuition to quickly adapt to of understanding and emulating peoples of different backgrounds. In his Elsandruu Pica school, Adrian became involved in a variety of after school activities, from Bulger Balling to acting in the school’s plays. Popular Bulger Balling, with its rigorous concentration on strength and agility, forced him to train hard physically. While did not emerge as the fastest or strongest of any of the players, Adrian was generally both faster and stronger than the average human. While the young Ravenna was in Bulger Balling by peer pressure, his real love was in acting. He found himself enthralled in the dramattic plots, the stunts, the characters, and the scenarios. While he played several parts during these years, he was best known within the Drama Club for enthusiastically generating a flurry of ideas for ways for improving play quality or adding twists to well-known plays. Most of these never came to fruitation, as Adrian usually didn’t follow through with the ideas once he had convinced his fellow club members with his enthusiasm. Academically, he was a fair student…when he attended class. He frequently complained to his mother that the classes were too confining and routine to be of much interest to him. Late during Adrian’s senior year, his mother was killed in a freak landspeeder accident. The now-orphaned boy’s world seemed to collapse around him with her death. He grew cold even to his closest friends, irrationally believing that they were going to disappear from his life just like his mother. They did. After graduating, his friends were flung across the stars, going to different universities, travelling, working, or enrolling within a military. He was alone. During this time, Adrian took a small job at the local cantina in order to pay his living expenses. He frequently amused himself during these jobs by eavesdropping on his customers, hearing a variety of stories from the size of Beff Pike’s … to the victories of the Empire and the formation of the Contegorian Confederation. None of which the young adult really cared about until one day. A spacer walked in and began to talk to his mates about the recent strike on the Remnants of the Invid Organization by the Contegorian Confederation. This intrigued Ravenna, because of his father’s death by the Invids. He looked closer into the Confederation, which seemed to be more concerned with eliminating these criminal groups than conquering empires. Believing that his mother would have wanted him to help prevent the tragedies like that which befell his family. Quitting his job, Adrian booked a passage to Soroya, taking all of his family’s possessions with him, including several trunks which he had never seen open. A security scan at the Soroya checkpoint revealed that one of them was nearly completely filled with old-fashioned datachips. Thinking nothing of it, he had all of the possessions put into long-term storage as he enrolled with the Confederate military. An aptitude test informed him that he could placed nearly anywhere that he wanted. However, influenced by his father’s fate, he decided to enroll within CSIS, which frequently looked around in the underworld, searching and tracking for wanted criminals like the Invids. Adrian went through accelerated intelligence operative training, which he easily brisked through because of his experience and training in acting and Bludger Ball. The new martial skills that were briefly touched upon during basic training intrigued him with the possibilities. When he went to specialist school, he concentrated on long-range marksmanship and unarmed hand-to-hand combat, passing with fair marks. He was then assigned to Project 392342, one of the countless freighters that carried CSIS personnel incognito to spy upon and root out criminals and other unwanteds within Confederation space. Eventually, like many older tramp freighters the projects were based on, the group’s YT-1300 broke down beyond repair. [U]Dawn of the Force[/U] Like the rest of the mission personnel, he was shuffled back to Camp Shipwright for refreshment training. He scored proficiently well, and demonstrated Force Sensivity through use of Force Pushes during an obstacle course at the camp. Because of this, he was promoted and placed in charge of a CSIS field unit, unofficially named "Nightfall Team." With "Nightfall Team," he further honed his force-using skills to become a Jensaarai apprentice, complete with armor and lightsaber. During these early times as a Jensaarai, he was sent on missions to Dalos IV to capture a crime lord and to Bal'demnic to combat a Dark Jedi. [iv.] -- Skills Adrian has extensive acting experience from his past, which allows him to accurately adopt the roles of a fair amount of common people and occupations, particularly those of his native Outer Rim. He is, however, not very experienced with the people of the Core Worlds, so his performance of acting as one of them is not very convincing at the moment. He received standard CSIS training for infiltrators, which included blending into a chosen environment and combat training, in which Adrian’s focused on integrated martial arts and sniping. He is equally, and lethally, proficient in both. Equipment / Possessions: Equipment varies from mission to mission, but he generally has an encyprted comlink, datapad, and monies as suited to the locale. Also based on the locale is outer civilian clothing, which is worn over a Tuff1 Combat Suit. Like most Confederate agents, he usually carries a Redemptor hold-out blaster with him at all times. In certain situations, he has his favored CCA-9 Sniper Rifle. With his induction into the Jensaarai tradition, however, his primary weapon is his lightsaber, which has all but replaced both guns. Tuffl Combat Suit: The Tuff1 combat suit is a light protection suit designed to be worn under loose civilian clothing. It consists of a tight body suit with padded armor sections at the chest, elbows, and knees. The material dries quickly and breathes well, making it easy to wear for long periods of time. The suit can be equipped with rings and straps for attaching equipment securely in easy-to-reach places. If worn by itself, the combat suit provides only minimal protection. It is often combined with other armor, most often a blast helmet and vest. In such use it serves as a backup; it doesnt provide any additional protection, but is there in case the outer armor becomes damaged and has to be discarded. [IMG]http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b365/DesenteBlissex/CC/AdrianSaber2.jpg[/IMG] Name/Type: Adrian's Lightsaber Designer/Manufacturer: Adrian Ravenna / Robert Swenson Designation: Single-handed Lightsaber Size: 20 cm (hilt only) Mass: ~1 kg Effective Range: 0.5 m Blade Colour: Sapphire Blue Crystal Type: Mephite (common Adegan Crystal) Description: Though aesthetically based on the more common Tapani Sector Lightfoil (an imititation weapon of a lightsaber), Adrian's lightsaber is a true Jedi's weapon. The elegant hilt is slightly over 16 centimeters long and can only be used as a single-handed weapon. This makes it easier to control the gyroscopic effects of using a lightsaber at the cost of power. Because of the weapon's design, it is best suited for light and fast styles, which has forced Adrian to develop his dexterity and speed to overcome the sheer power preferred by many lightsaber duelist. The upper hilt and dish has been interwoven with Cortosis taken from Bal'demnic, adequately protecting his hand from lightsaber attacks, and occasionally deactivating enemy weapons. [IMG]http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b365/DesenteBlissex/Redemptor.jpg[/IMG] Name/Type: Redemptor-class Holdout Blaster Designer/Manufacturer: Sorosuub / Contegorian Confederation Designation: Specialized Hold-out Blaster Size: 11.3 cm Mass: ~1 kg Effective Range: 20 m Fire Modes: Single, Stun, Burn Fire Rate: 1 Damage Rating: 50 Magazine: 6 Charges Ammunition: Blaster Powercell Special: The Redeptor is almost silent in operation. The SoroSuub Redemptor Hold-out Pistol is a small, but powerful pistol designed with stealth in mind. Despite its power output, the Redemptor is virtually silent when it is fired. With a length of 11.3 cm, the Redemptor is easy to conceal under jackets or in large pockets. The energy cell, providing enough energy for 6 shots, is housed inside the handle and accessed through a small panel on the handle's left side. The Redemptor has been very popular with independent assassins and has seen sales rise in the Outer Rim Territories and Imperial-controlled space. (The Confederation produces a direct copy at the old SoroSuub plant located on Genarius from which CSIS agents are equipped from). [IMG]http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b365/DesenteBlissex/CCA-9.jpg[/IMG] Name/Type: CCA-9 Sniper Rifle Designer/Manufacturer: Confederation Consolidated Arms Ltd Designation: Sniper Rifle Size: 144 cm Mass: 9.34 kg Effective Range: 3500 m Fire Modes: Single, Stun, Burn Fire Rate: 0.25 Damage Rating: classified Magazine: 16 Charges Ammunition: Blaster Powercell The CCA-9 is the premier heavy sniper rifle of the Contegorian Confederation, currently being fielded experimentally. The mission of the CCA-9 is to destroy material, light vehicles, and crew served weapons from a distance, usually outside of the enemy's perimeter. It is also being used by Confederate snipers to neutralize armed criminals who have taken cover behind cover capable of stopping most blasters. Because of its role, the rifle is actually closer to a piece of light artillery than it is to a typical rifle because it is basically a miniaturized turbolaser with two supercharging modules. This makes the rifle fire four times slower than a standard rifle, and also drains power of a standard power pack over six times faster. That being said, it has unrivalled range for a blaster rifle, and enough power to easily punch through a half-meter of permacrete. It is equipped with technology derived from the Redemptor to make it a silence weapon; useful for covert operations. Confederate engineers attempted to make the bolt invisible like the Nightstinger by using a Se4 prismatic crystal and a variant of blaster gas utilizing a gaseous carbon isotope found on Genarius. Ultimately, they failed to make the bolt invisible. They did, however, manage to make the bolt be low-visibility, appearing as a quick dark gray blur, appearing almost like a slug. It is large weapon, and is fairly heavy at 9.34 kilograms, but is lighter than many similar weapons. Similarly sized rifles, like the Prax Arms AFD-43 wear over 14 kilograms. The secret lies in the solid construction using lightweight Quadanium Carbide instead of metal alloys. For ease of transportation, the CCA-9 breaks down into three pieces: Barrel and Scope, action, and stock. Reassembly takes a minute with just a screwdriver, credit chip, or similar item. The scope varies from user to user, but most incorporate a thermal, UV, and passive light enhancement composite image systems along with haze and smoke filters; similar scopes are mounted on the Prax Arms weapon and the Blastech Sharpshooter V. All-in-all, the CCA-9 is a powerful weapon for long-range engagements, but it is ill-suited for close-quarters combat because of its unwieldy size, slow refire rate, and power consumption. [IMG]http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b365/DesenteBlissex/AdrianBattleArmor.jpg[/IMG] Following his Jensaarai roots, Adrian and Robert Swenson jointly constructed his personal battle armor. Like Jensaarai armor, it is a light battle suit whcih utilizes cortosis fiber to protect the warrior against lightsaber attacks. Unlike traditional Jensaarai suits, Adrian's armor is not styled for a particular animal. Instead, it is a suit of Creshaldyne Industries Blast-Dampening Armor fitted with plates of Mandalorian Iron interwoven with Cortosis Fibers, with the entire surface doped in Reflec. This provides Adrian with armor effective in protecting him against lightsaber attacks, light blaster attacks, and sensor sweeps during nighttime. While it seems to provide him with excellent defenses, the suit has several problems. One of which is making him exceptionally noticeable, the other is making him slightly slower and less dexterous. Because of this, he only wears it when fighting is inevitable. Starship: [IMG]http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b365/DesenteBlissex/ShadowCascade.jpg[/IMG] Name/Type: Simiyiar-class Light Freighter [I]Rogue Shadow[/I] Designer/Manufacturer: Mon Calamari Shipyards Combat Role: Light Transport Crew: 1 + 1 Gunner Length: 26.3 Meters Speed: 70 MGLT, 800 Kph Acceleration: 10 MGLT/s Maneuverability: 50 DPF Hyperdrive: x2 Shield Rating: 50 SBD + 50 SBD Backup Hull Rating: 30 RU Weapons: 1 Turreted Double Laser Cannon. Passengers: 8. Cargo Space: 150 Metric Tons. The Rogue Shadow was a gift from Rear-Admiral Corise Lucerne to Adrian Ravenna, aspiring Jensaarai and Confederate Agent. In Lucerne's spoken opinion, Ravenna required an excellent ship for transport, but in secret, the Kashan man hoped to gain some influence over the Susevfian from it. An attempt that seems to have failed. Nonetheless, the Shadow is a darkly elegant vessel, well-suited for its role in transporting the shadowy hands of the Confederation. Since Adrian himself is not a pilot, Kitty Hawk generally pilots the ship, ferrying the Jensaarai about. And as to be expected, it is quickly becoming her ship, rather than Adrians. She and Swenson have been working out plans for modifying the vessel from its stock condition, but none have yet materialized.

CSIS = Canadian Security Intelligence Service? Or is this just a coincidence? I was unaware of Canada making the jump to hyperspeed, making a bid for the galaxy. And I'm way too lazy, by far, to read the full content of your biography. I'm sure it's grand.

Close enough. Confederation Security and Intelligence Service.

It's an older department that I haven't done a lot with...yet.
