[B]Bio:[/B] Born on Raxus, Paradise 'Par' Rapids was the son of reluctant Imperial Collaborators who were cowed to submission by the Antar Atrocity*, which forced former Seperatist worlds like Raxus to give up former members of the CIS to the Galactic Empire. Afraid of what can happen to their planet, Par's parents, Arthur and Miranda Rapids, continued to serve the Empire loyally - until the Battle of Endor, when the Rebel Alliance finally won. Then, finding courage, as well as a withdrawal of the Imperial Garrison from their planet, they managed to get the local administration of Raxus to declare for the New Republic, just in time for the Empire to tear itself apart. Several years later, Par was born, just as the remnants of the Empire completely dissolved, except of course, for the Imperial Navy in the Unknown Regions.
 
Raised in both peace and the legends of the Heroes of the Rebellion, Par was a quick mind, at least as regards technology, and not a bad pilot despite his relative physical weakness. Although his political skills were mediocre, the boy was a determined soul, with enough basic pattern recognition to avoid common political pitfalls. He also had good looks and a personality that, though awkward and 'dorkish', managed to make him look harmless. This fast-tracked his political career until he became the Senator of Raxus at the young age of 19, a feat that, though not the equal of other young politicians like the esteemed Padme Amidala, was still notable.
 
Joining the Populists almost immidiately, Par soon found himself disillusioned with both them and the Centerists. He became a Senator to help prop up the Post-Imperial political structure, only to discover that there was no structure! Not only that, but the Centerists were obviously corrupt Neo-Imperialists, all but a few who were unwitting pawns. Sigh...what did he get himself into?

Raised in love and a stable environment, Par is generally inexperienced with matters of the world, but also determined to the point of obsession when he needs to be. Although aware that his actual skills in Politics are lacking, Par behaves as though he is more competent than he already is, while at the same time respecting those who are more skilled than he is...while taking advantage of their skills.
