Bio:

Ryan Korr....a man always on a mission. Korr is a Corellian. Growing up in Corellia wasn’t easy for him, seeing as how he was born an orphan. Ryan's parents were killed by The New Order when the vessel they were on was found to contain weapons for the rebellion. His father had been a Mandalorian and his mother a Corellian.

When he turned five Ryan was attacked. A man in a full body, black suit walked into the orphanage and shot both caretakers. The black suited man stepped into Ryan’s room and shot him. At least, he thought he did. Ryan had actually been changed into a different room that day, pure luck as some called it, or the will of the Force.

The day after the incident a very wealthy man came by and adopted the young boy. The man’s name was Lord Rovan Darr. Darr was a rich aristocrat. Being a widower and his real son grown up he had decided to adopt the poor kid. He was very nice to Korr, giving him the best education possible. Grooming him for life as his successor.

Every day Korr came home from the aristocratic school. The bruises of the day’s fight covered his face. Rovan tried to calm him down, telling him that he didn’t have to listen to the insults the kids hurled at him about being an orphan. Ryan always replied that he would teach those kids who was the toughest and smartest. Korr’s grades were exceptional. He was first in his class and the Teachers all loved him, another reason for the other students to tease him. By his 13th birthday he had mastered most of the courses. Being fluent in five languages, able to have a lengthy discussions about the galaxy’s history, and mastering the aristocratic manners.

Little did he know that the happy life Korr led would soon be destroyed. Ryan had always wondered why Lord Darr’s son had not succeeded him, Rovan finally told him. Darr had seemed to grow more and more anxious, looking over strange holos that began to arrive, with a terrified face and then burning them. Ryan learned why when Rovan told him about his son.

Rivar Darr had been a wicked boy. He had enjoyed beating up the smaller kids at school, and playing pranks on the teachers. When Rivar’s 16th birthday arrived, he had been convicted of spice use, and was led away to do some hard time. He came back after 2 years, demanding his inheritance from his father, supposedly to create a business, but rumor had it that he had enormous spice debts to pay off. Rovan denied him the inheritance, and when Rivar swore he would pay, he disinherited him.

Now Rivar had come back from a recent imprisonment, for a murder charge that had never been proved, he had begun to send threatening holos to his old man, demanding his inheritance. Ryan was horrified, what could they do? Darr proposed that they flee Corellia the next day. But it was not to be.

In the middle of his last night on Corellia Ryan heard the crash of the front door breaking down. Darr kept no security guards, because he thought it was an invasion of privacy. He heard Rovan’s startled voice pleading with someone not to kill the boy. That meant him! Korr heard the sound of blaster fire and knew that his adopted father was dead. He also knew who had done it....Rivar! Ryan knew to stay in the house meant death. So he climbed out of his bedroom window and headed toward the slums, where he knew he could survive. Ryan turned and took one last look at the house that had been his home for eight years, a single tear rolled down his cheek. Then he walked off into the night.

Ryan Korr fell in with some smugglers, who smuggled weapons and arms to different crime lords, bounty hunters, rebel factions etc. The group numbered seven in all, with Ryan being the cabin boy on board their ship. One of the smugglers, Johans Gutan, took a liking to the kid. Johans Gutan was a former holonet actor, who was fired when he got scarred in a fight. He was also an ex-military pilot. Johans taught Ryan many things. He taught him how to pilot a ship, how to handle a blaster, and how to act calm under pressure. Gutan also showed him how to keep his face a blank mask that could be turned into many different characters.

One day the men took Ryan along on one of their smuggling runs. They arrived safely at their destination, but the destination was not a pretty sight. Blasterfire could be heard from all parts of the city. Most houses were missing large portions of their roof, or side. It was a war torn city. The smugglers delivered the weapons to the local crimelord and got off planet fast. It was the first time Ryan had seen what he was contributing to and he didn’t like it.

On Ryan’s fifteenth birthday the luck of the smuggler’s ran out. It was just an ordinary run, some high powered blasters, and banned sniper rifles. They were caught by the New Order. The smugglers fought against the NO corvette, but it was no use. 3 smugglers died. The NO guards decided to let Ryan go with a stern lecture never to fall in with criminals again.
But he learned soon after that the shipment had been going to Rebels. His heart sank. He had been doing the right thing. He would continue to do it.

Unfortunately, he had a bounty placed on his head after several years of smuggling. The Empire had found him out and now they would have his head. Jumping to the only planet he knew he could be safe on, Ryan arrived in the Mandalare system. There he stayed among his kinsmen, training with them, fighting with them, eating with them. They became his new family. But he knew he couldn't stay there forever. He longed to do something to change the galaxy.

After several years there, he told the Mandos that he would be leaving. But he promised that Mandalare would always be his home and that someday he would return, in better times.

Working as a bounty hunter under a fake name, Ryan soon found the man he was looking for, Rivar Darr. The man was working for those who Ryan hated most, Imperials. Korr thought it was time to rid the world of this man and appease his want for revenge. The Outlaw tracked Rivar down and killed him. But he found his anger only grew. His anger at the Imperials and everything they stood for. Even more so when he learned his old friend Johans had been executed for smuggling.

Soon he became known as a bounty hunter/Mercenary/Smuggler. But seeing that the Alliance to Restore the Republic needed more members, he took his chances with them. His hatred of the Empire and those allied with it made him a fierce enemy.

The SFOR carbine is very old, first having seen service in with the Old Republic in the Mandalorian Wars. It has been upgraded numerous times since then and is still a very effective weapon which fires a shockwave that can rip opponents apart. Essentially this is a concussion rifle in a lighter, more handy package. The weapon has very high precision for a carbine, and could be used as a sniper´s weapon if it wasn´t for its relatively limited range, comparable with other carbines. Mustafarian pirates got hold of a large amount of SFOR carbines and modified them to cryofreeze targets in addition to ripping them apart. This kind of customization is still often found. The primary limitation of the weapon is moderate refire rate, which makes it less useful for suppressive fire.
