[b]Reason for Imprisonment:[/b] Alleged possession and use of drugs; Colin continues to protest innocence and medical diagnostics have shown that he is clean, but the judicial system in Armania moves really slow and the real culprit is rich and well-connected enough to keep the wheels of justice turning in his favor.

[b]Equipment:[/b] The clothes on his back and whatever mining equipment that his overseers see fit to entrust him. 

[b]Skills:[/b] Colin is an engineering student with a minor in architecture; in practical terms, this means that he can see the weak and strong points of a structure or machine, operate basic equipment, and know some programming skills. He also knows droidspeak. Other skills are singing and sketching, the latter for both practical (blueprints and schematics) and artistic reasons. And of course, he can - theoretically - repurpose mining equipment into weapons and disable mechanical/electronic safeguards against revolt.

[b]Weaknesses:[/b] Colin is naive, physically weak, and despite having lived through the Seperatist occupation, sheltered from the worst aspects of the world. Therefore, being imprisoned and enslaved is a shock to him, having to endure hard and brutal conditions, even more so. Not merely that, but he is naturally submissive, so it takes someone else to plant the seed of revolt in him.

[b]History:[/b] Colin was born to a well-off, but not too well-off family from Armania's upper middle class. Raised in an atmosphere of optimistic privilege, the boy was meek, but showed promise in his studies. His elder sister, Lisa, protected him from bullies as they grew up; this had the effect of both ensuring a peaceful childhood for Colin and causing him to grow 'soft'. Nevertheless, the studies and optimism continued and Colin entered a prestigeous University at fifteen. This University, ran by a more intellectual clan, was yet another happy place, and one that avoided the attention of the Confederacy of Independent Systems when they showed up.

Thus, Colin remained safe and sound as the world outside grew grimmer, his only source of knowledge of the outside world being occassional contact with his family. And when the Empire finally came and restored things to normal, Colin was one of the first to welcome them, confident that he can go back to his parents and sister now. And for a while, all was happy.

Then, said sister got a boyfriend, a rich nobleman connected to the most powerful Clan. This would have been a moment of joy, if not for the fact that the boyfriend was abusive and unfaithful; something Colin was unable to speak up against at first. Even worse, it turned out that his sister's boyfriend wanted to cheat on her with [i]Colin himself[/i]. Colin refused, and in a moment of defiance, he threatened to use every means he could to persuade his sister to leave him. In response, the rich young man said:

"Enjoy one last [i]long lonely night under the stars[/i], then," before turning to go. Sure enough, one starry night later, Campus Police arrested Colin on his return to the University. He had been framed for possession of a local form of Spice, and was now going to be arrested. Colin protested his innocence, but alas, the dapper young aristocrat had connections with the Empire itself.

And with that, the young man was imprisoned in one of Armania's prisons...on his eighteenth birthday, to boot.
