[b][color=ed1c24]Character Background:[/color][/b]

 Liam was born as a young human boy on the agricultural colony of Tartan 4 and spent many hours hearing of the valiant Clone Troopers and the heroic Anakin Skywalker. Those stories, handcrafted by those around him, and by those in power at the time, urged him into becoming a fighter pilot. 

After finishing his training, he had distinguished himself in the academy as a pilot, eager to fight to uphold this new era of peace. For the next few years he had gotten what he wanted; striking at pirates, gangsters, and even separatist remnants. It was like living the dream. Finally, he too, could be a hero like the Clone army and Anakin.

But then it felt like the galaxy was changing, terrorist attacks began to happen more frequently, and the holonet was buzzing with harsh and slanderous rumors about what the Empire does to aliens, how it ruthlessly hunted down dissenters. New orders about how dissention and insubordination were no longer tolerated.

And then Liam noticed something himself, his mothership the ISD Blackstar, started to lean away from protecting planets, to attacking them, officially explained as an attack on a nest of terrorists, or rising gang activity. If that wasn’t enough, rumors about an expensive battle station had temporarily leaked into the imperial net, resources and manpower being diverted to some mysterious project.

It turned out that station was called ‘the Death Star’, and its sinister purpose had been revealed too. The Empire had tried to keep the ‘planet killer’ part hidden, but the rebels were too pleased with themselves to keep it secret, and every extranet channel had nearly become a mouthpiece for rebel propaganda.

Then Liam was starting to change his mind too, over time as his ship operated with others, he began to hear more rumors. Things like Vaders’ spontaneous promotions (and demotions), new inquisitor and black ops squads. This wasn’t the Empire he signed up with. So, he resolved to find some way to defect, but in the end, he was just a fighter pilot, not a spy or a moff. TIE fighters didn’t come with hyper drives, and he had friends on the Blackstar, people he’d have to fight if he did defect.

Not that he had a choice, time passed, and he began to think he was doomed to be an Imperial forever. Several small skirmishes passed, the failed assault on Hoth, and finally the battle over Endor. 

[i]Behold the might of the Imperial Navy... you'll be here forever.[/i]

[b][color=ed1c24]Character Personality:[/color][/b] Sure, he’s troubled, but all that goes away when he’s out flying or spending time with his friends. That’s just how lighthearted this Liam guy is, besides, it’s not like there’s much else to do when most core worlds blacklisted your group. With no more career opportunities his friends and family are all he has left, so even though he wants to be a ‘hero’, he’ll gladly die for those close to him.  

[b][color=ed1c24]Character's Physical description:[/color][/b]

As Liam spends most of his days inside a starship, he has become rather pale. But he stands at 6'1 with fair to average facial features, brown hair, and hazel eyes to complete his 'average' look. His body isn't as toned as a stormtroopers', but as a pilot he's responsible for basic maintenance, and with his free time he has more than enough reason and opportunity to keep his body in shape. Random civilians, and unsuspecting troopers, thinking they can take him in a fight just because he's a pilot would be dead wrong.

[b][color=f7941d]Obsidian Squad[/color][/b]-Not to be confused with other similarly named squads, they just collectively decided each other’s suggestions were lousy and named themselves after the dominant imperial color. Obsidian Black. A group of close pilots whose numbers rarely need replenishing, most of them have known each other straight out of academy, and they trust each other unconditionally; at least out in space. Liam has long since been wary of Obisidan-6, aka Maran, and his pazaak game.

[hider=Obsidian as we know them]
[color=ed1c24]Obsidian-1[/color], Ben Jenson, the man who made them a unit. He had a more normal appearance compared to Maran, but it seemed his favorite hobby was weightlifting, as his body was a little on the big side. But he had a gentle giant aura to him with his bright green eyes. A firm and by the books man, he has enough humor to know when to play, but everyone sees him as the stick that keeps them grounded.

[color=ed1c24]Obsidian-2[/color], Jarael Teldan: She is a thirty-five year old woman, with short black hair the same length as Maran, a striking woman with a lively glint in her eyes. She’d have to be to keep up with the rest of the squad. A fiery woman who joined the Imperial academy a little later than most, nonetheless, she remains the fiery executive officer of Obsidian Squad.

[color=ed1c24]Obsidian-4[/color]: Blanche Krail: Often seen as cold and creepy by most people, with even paler skin than Liam, silver hair, and red eyes; giving others the opinion that he is a ghost.

[color=ed1c24]Obsidian-6[/color], Maran Ortonam: It would be accurate to call Maran beautiful, he had a weirdly feminine face, and lose blonde hair that went down just past his ears. His well-coiffed hair, slender nose and body had lent him an appealing androgynous body. But Liam was confident he knew Maran was a twenty-year-old man. A flippent and easygoing man, exactly what he seems.

[b][color=f7941d]Captain Merril Lorrange[/color][/b]-Promoted soon after the former Blackstar Captain privately met with Vader. A competent enough captain, but without many chances to prove herself, following her promotion, and the defeat of the Empire at Endor. She has been constantly stressed and frustrated with the imperial warlords vying for what remains of the navy.
