(Sorry, completely re-made the character since I wasn't happy with it before. I don’t suppose it matters anyway since he wasn’t in any plot to begin with. )

Species: Human
Age: 31
Birth place: Dantooine

Faction: Republic Military

Biography:

Nate’s life with the military began when his mother deceased as a result of a terrible heart infection. With little left to do and nowhere to left go, he joined up with the Republic Forces at the age of 17. He joined as a crewman during his training with the naval forces and it changed his life completely. It gave him a high amount of discipline, an admirable level of courage and all the skills needed to operate within an effective military unit.

He was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant after completing his officer training and then serving 4 years with the naval fleet. As a trooper, Nate wasn’t particularly the most talented recruit ever seen, but he possessed a raw sense of duty and an attitude of ‘doing the right thing’ which made him stand out from the rest of his fellow soldiers.

However, he was also intensely single-minded and independent, often preferring to get things done the most ‘efficient’ way, rather than working solely with the bulk of the Republic forces. Some saw him as a semi-rouge soldier; but to him, he was simply doing what he saw was best for the Republic.

A primary example of this was during the sieges of Milo VII. The planet was seized by terrorists. Deprived of any food or basic supplies, civilians were on the brink of starvation, dying literally by the hundreds; something had to be done. Nate was conditionally promoted to the rank of Commander to fill in for the other who was currently unfit for military service due to a ‘disfiguring’ injury.

All forces were ordered to stand back, acting as a defensive blockade and only attacking when essentially being attacked. However, Nate, as stubborn as he was would have none of it, and took matters into his own hands.

Rather than remaining with the bulk of the main forces as told, under his orders, his detachment attacked the enemy forces from their weakest point causing a distraction by drawing the enemies to that area of conflict. The disruption meant that the main volume of naval forces could attack them at their strongest point with a surprise burst attack, defeating the terrorists and freeing the planet from their harsh captivity.

This act by Nate was both an honourable achievement and a luckless blow to his military career. He had to serve 4 months in prison and then another 2 months under military probation for disobeying direct orders from a high commander; a small price to pay for also being promoted to the rank of captain after his RTU (return to unit).

RP Sample:

Nate was sitting in front of a large desk. Standing on the other side of the desk was Admiral Jared, a high ranking officer with the republic forces. Nate had just been released from military custody and was soon to be RTU’d. (Returned to unit) The two were discussing Nate’s future ‘expectations’ as a naval officer.

…I did what I did because I had to sir. I did what was best for those civilians, who were dying by the hour because of those terrorist vermin. I couldn’t simply watch and do nothing. That is not what I was trained to do and that is not my job…sir.

Infuriated, the admiral turned around and banged his fist on the desk. At the same time he sat down and slowly edged himself closer toward Nate, staring him in the eye, trying to intimidate him.

That is completely beside the point! Your actions were erratic and you disobeyed direct orders, MY ORDERS, which were evidently given to you and your fellow soldiers! I don’t care about the results! You had NO right to attack those terrorists at your own discretion!

Nate simply sat there, almost as if he was barely reacting to what he just said.

Even if it meant sitting comfortably and watching civilians die, sir?

ARE YOU EVEN LIS-…I tire of this conversation. *sigh* Now listen to me; I don’t like you. You’re unpredictable and insolent, possibly dangerous. You’re lucky this isn’t up to me or you’d be put in prison for so long that you’d never get to set-foot on a republic cruiser ever again!

I’m eternally thankful sir.

Keep your sarcasm to yourself. You may have been promoted, but that doesn’t change a damn thing between us! You’re still under my command and you WILL follow my orders from now on until the day that your burnt corpse is floating through space! If you EVER choose to cross me again then I can promise you this; I will see to it that you are locked up for the rest of your life! Do you understand me?!

Yes sir, as always I’ll try my best sir. Will that be all sir?

The admiral then stood up promptly and turned his back on Nate in frustration.

Just shut the hell up and get out of my office….Captain…

Nate then stood up and put his headdress on. He stood to attention and saluted the admiral. He then turned around and marched out of the room with a slight smirk on his face.
