His body is beginning to show the strain of his years of fighting, but he is confident it will see him through a few more for now. There is a rare collection of scars, mostly blaster burns but there is a fairly wicked vibroknife scar down the left side of his face, pulling his mouth into a lopsided grin when his face would otherwise be at rest. His dark hair is liberally sprinkled with white and grey, though he hasn't started losing any yet, which he is thankful for. There is usually a light to medium amount of scruff on his face as well, this more grey than black, but he tries to shave whenever he can.<br/> <br/><strong> Personality:</strong> Hawke is a consummate professional in his line of work. When he is hired (or in this case, coerced, but it works out to the same thing) he will stay on the job until it is complete, he is released, or he is dead. After being forced into working for the Empire this code has been shaken, though not broken, due to his reluctance in working for another autocratic government, and being another cog in the machine of war. His happiest moments were in the years between the Clone Wars and just before he was picked up by COMPNOR agents. While not exactly carefree he was able to live his own life. He was still a killer, still took money to cause death and destruction but it was his choice, his decision. He killed for himself or his comrades, not at the beck and call of some distant figure who didn't care if he lived or died.<br/><br/><strong> Brief Bio:</strong> Icarus Hawke was born on the rather unremarkable Outer Rim world of Deppsiq, to a rather unremarkable family. The king was all powerful, but for much of his childhood the king was a reasonable man, who governed well and the planet prospered about as much as a poor outer rim world could be expected to. The megacorps were kept away or in check, and abuses of power were few and far between. This changed with the death of the king, and the ascension of his son. Soon, the world was all but bought out by a series of mining corporations. The people were being ground into the dirt in the company mines, coming home to company towns, and living company lives. Something broke, and a revolution rose up.<br/><br/>Hawke fought in this, and gained his first taste of combat there. As the revolution raged, the Clone Wars broke out and appeals were made to both belligerents for aid. The king, seen in Coruscant as the legitimate government, gained the aid of the Republic. This forced the rebels into the arms of the Separatists despite the prevalence of megacorps in their ranks. This introduced a more direct, less democratic leadership to the rebels, and soon enough Hawke couldn't tell the difference between the leaders of either side, and the conflict continued more out of outrage at the other side than any real political differences now. The fighting raged on until the end of the Clone Wars, being a backwater planet, and with the fall of the Separatists the rebels were summarily crushed. Fleeing his home and mistrusting the offers of clemency, Hawke became a mercenary wandering the Outer Rim with the millions of other discharged soldiers who knew little else beyond war.<br/><br/>He was a good soldier too, and took pride in his work. That all changed when he made a bit of a name for himself following a particularly harrowing contract, and while resting on Mallorn, he was scooped up by Imperial Intelligence Agents. Facing the possibility of a death sentence for his activities during the Clone Wars and the only real options being death now or death later, Icarus Hawke chose the latter. </div></div>
