Professional History:
History Joined Imperial Navy at age of 16 at Corellian
recruiting centre, passed all initiation tests in top two percent of yearly
intake. Entered trade of engineer after ten week basic training at Starbase
21.
After trade training, was assigned to the Venture, destroyer class frigate,
remaining onboard as a line engineer for 4 years, each year applying for
commission to become a pilot. On fourth year of trying application accepted.
At age of 24 graduated top in his flight school training, joined TIE Fighter
squadron joined to the Kelmore, a fighter and bomber carrier. At age 26 was
dishonourably discharged, charged with six counts of murder, two acts of
assault, stealing an Imperial Speeder, damage in excess of 40 thousand
credits to equipment and Imperial speeders and helped a convicted criminal
escape justice.
Warrant out for his arrest, wanted alive.
Background:
He was born on Corellia, an orphan. He was found a home after
spending time at an orphanage but his foster parents were abusive. He was 7
when he finally fought back ramming a kitchen knife into his foster father's
leg while he was being beaten. Korva was returned to the orphanage and his
foster parents were sent to prison, much to his satisfaction. He stayed at
the orphanage for another 3 years, moving from home to home before an
elderly
couple came by and took him from the orphanage.
They stayed together for 8 years, loving every second he spent with his new
parents and their pet Betie. He dreamed of being a Fighter Pilot in the
Imperial Navy and his foster parents supported him, helping him study until
he enlisted as a mechanic not having a sponsor to become a commissioned
officer. He graduated as an engineer and worked through the ranks for 4
years, then after trying at every point to get his commission he was finally
accepted. Sadly his foster parents had died two months earlier.
He took the chance, grabbing at it with both hands; he graduated third in
his
class passing all training in the top 2%. He got his wings and soon after
joined his new squadron. But things started to change. He saw the
suffering,
the death, the murders he never saw as an enlisted man. And he couldn't take
it.
The final draw was at an execution. He was supposed to be asleep, but he
caught the rumours of a Wookiee being executed just for fighting back,
protecting his family. Korva stole a blaster, weapons, and a speeder, saving
the Wookiee's life. They escaped but only barely. For his trouble Korva was
stripped of his commission, given three new scars and outlawed. His life
would never be the same.
He became a smuggler and mercenary soon after putting his training to use.
The Wookiee whose name Korva couldn't pronounce so he named him Chowe,
followed Korva everywhere he went which, to Korva, was a nightmare as he
wanted nothing to do with the Wookiee. But seeing no way out of the 'Life
Debt' Korva finally accepted Chowe as a partner. He stayed clear of the
Rebels as they fought the Empire but he watched them and read about them
winning against all the odds. He followed Han Solo's career with great
interest, seeing himself or what he could have been.
But the chance never came to fight other than smuggle weapons for the
Rebels. He's still looking for his big score and big break so he can retire
to a tropical island on some distant planet and live out his life with lots
of naked women.
Personality:
He's warm and friendly especially with Chowe, his friendly
Wookiee companion and Isia, his pet Nirish. She's six and
well trained but often runs off to be alone while on planet while Korva does
his business. Is very loyal to his friends, but suspicious about meeting
people for the first time. Hates snakes with a passion.
Vehicle of Choice:
Has a YT-1300 Freighter, Wraith, same model as the
Millennium Falcon, modified for speed and agility with two twin laser
cannons and a missile launcher. Because of the modifications the freighter's
core isn't reliable, making her engines and weapons untrustworthy, but once
up and running almost nothing can keep up with her.
Form of Dress:
Wears whatever is comfortable and at hand, usually wearing a
coat over his clothes to hide his blasters and other weapons. Black leather
is his favourite.
Superhuman Powers and Abilities
None.
Abilities and Skills:
Strong and fast, an excellent pilot trained by
the Empire honing his natural skills. Can fly anything an engine, excellent
in hand to hand combat and firing a blaster or rifle.
Martial arts, weapons of all kinds. Interested
in sailing on the open ocean, has a keen strategic mind but rarely used.
