This is Ginga's background more in full. Note I left the criminal organisation he's linked to blank. I mentioned Black Sun in the character thread, though it doesn't have to be directly them.<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote">Quote</div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">Born on 30BBY and raised on the planet Rodia within the Tetsu Clan, Ginga's life was simple with both parents until the Empire came to power in 19BBY when Ginga was 11 years old. Back then there was no thought on the change of galactic government for him. It was only when Navik the Red attacked his clan on 17BBY that the 13 year old Rodian was moved to the Jungle planet of U-Tendik, a little eastward from Radnor and the Corellian Run that life changed for him. Ginga was smart and sociable for his age, having an interest of the galaxy at large outside of the small backwoods planet that was now his home.<br/><br/>Due to being gifted as he was, Ginga did not enjoy the harsh and serious life of a hunter on U-Tendik. At the age of 18 (12BBY) he ventured via a freetrader's ship to a University to gain a more formal education on galactic history. He returned to U-Tendik in 10BBY and in the following years Ginga gained credits operating as a Free Trader like the ones who showed him the galaxy as a teenager, mainly as an astrogator between stays on his Jungle home. Eventually on 4BBY, Navik's forces found the Tetsu Clan on U-Tendik. The 26 year old Rodian managed to escape to Nar Shadaa with what remained of the clan.<br/><br/>Whilst Ginga still continued outwardly to be his sociable self and play off his escape as lucky, the survivor's guilt from this event in secret plagued him. Now old enough to explore the galaxy and his last home a distant memory, Ginga took to being an Export Merchant from Nar Shadaa more full-time. He became a workaholic for escapism from the tragedy that hovered over him. Recently (1BBY), Imperials attacked a Rebel outpost on Nar Shadaa... The attack slew the only family Ginga had left. Ginga lost his main connections, both in work and family, in one fell swoop and was left without a place to call home or a base for respite.<br/><br/>Ginga was rescued from this point of despair and loss of everything by a criminal element *this should be linked to the campaign in question*. Given resources to start over, Ginga owed his benefactor and is now dutybound to them. Whilst he now acts mainly as a freelance Explorer and a Trader for hire to ship crews, Ginga repays his benefactor's kindness in a very particular way... Mainly using his skills and knowledge to track down and assassinate those ne'erdowells who would escape his benefactor's wrath.</blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div>
