Theme Song: Appearance: Antares is about 5’ 11”, he’s usually wearing either a brown and black leather jacket, a black shirt and dark pants. His hair is a white-silver mix; his build is slime athletic, all his running around tends to keep him in good shape, plus he tends to work out from time to time to keep the rest of his body in shape as well.
Background/History: Antares grew up in a wealthy household on Alderaan, he tended to get most everything he wanted, which made him spoiled and with his parents being busy a lot, they were barely able to spend any time with him, this obviously caused some behavioral issues. They started off small at first, being disruptive when he was in school, playing pranks on shop keepers and even theft from them as well, mostly doing anything he could to get his parents’ attention.
He was placed in a military program to try and get that rebellious streak out of him, but that didn’t take either, rather than breaking him, it was the other way around, the instructors felt like they were getting no where with him, informed his household that he was expelled. It seeming like not even this was getting his folks attention, he decided to set out on his own, first joining a crew of pirates, smuggling whatever they got their hands on and for a while it was great, there was drinks and credits to be had and life was good for him.
Antares eventually left the pirates, joining up with some bounty hunters instead, their pay was much higher, he thought he could get used to it and make a name for himself as a bounty hunter, but he soon learned that not all bounties were as simple as the ones he had first done. Such as when they were after a man who had peacefully surrendered, but his partners still killed him anyways, that didn’t sit right with him. He used his weapon’s stun setting on them, incapacitating them and then stole the hunters’ ship, taking it all the way to Nar Shaddaa where he sold it for two-thirds what it was worth, he didn’t care how much he got for it, so long as it was taken off his hands, knowing that the hunters would be after it.
Doing more smuggling work, he eventually saved up to purchase his own ship, the Crimson Phoenix. He put most of his credits into his ship, outfitting it with the best lasers, shields, hyperdrive, engines, whatever could be upgraded, he did it and for his ‘hard work’, his ship was one of the fastest in the galaxy. Now he currently is looking for more work as well as avoiding people who he’s ripped off, either by taking their credits up front or stealing their cargo and selling it himself, who knows where he’ll end up next.
Personality: Antares tends to be a wise cracker and enjoys an extravagant amount of alcohol, as well as flirting with women, which most of the time usually works, but over indulgence of inebriating beverages can sometimes have the opposite effect for whomever he’s flirting with. In addition, he tends to mostly look after himself first and foremost before even thinking about others, at least not without a generous fee for his ‘charity’, however when the chips are down, he can be someone to be relied upon, but he wouldn’t appear that way at first glance.
When it comes to his humor, it can be a tad obnoxious and crude, usually joking about a woman’s ‘assets’, a lot of the time the cause for such things is him being drunk.
Antares is currently pretty happy and relaxed at the moment and only has minor worry about the people he’s ripped off coming after him. If things tend to go bad however, he’ll be quick to sellout people he barely knows, just to save his own skin, even minimal torture is enough for him to turn on people he has no true loyalty to.
Antares is known well by most in the illegal trade, however his reputation amongst the Republic is quite minimal, his mark on them is about as much as any other smuggler’s, which is little to none at all, which is what he prefers, if the Republic starts notice who he is, it can be more difficult to do his trade.
Virtues: Discrete, Defiant, Creative.
Vices: Arrogant, Greedy, Vain.
Antares perception of the world boils down to his world and his dealings, that’s the only thing he notices and pays attention too, the politics and events of other entities such as the Republic or Cartels largely go unnoticed unless it’s shoved into his face or he’s at the center of it.
Although Antares is mostly focused on himself, he does have a sense of morality and won’t turn a blind eye to the injustice of something, he might charge for saving someone from a situation, but he won’t actively turn a blind eye to it.
Antares’ known languages are Basic, Binary, Huttese, Roadese, Shyriiwook and Sullustese.
Attitude: Blunt, Obnoxious, Kind, Excited.
His one secret, though it isn’t that incredible is he wants to try and get with a Jedi, taking it as more of a challenge just based off how virtuous they are and tend to avoid things such as passion and love.
Antares’ hobbies are Girls, girls count, right? Target practice, Working on the Crimson Phoenix and napping.
His primary goal at the moment is to find work that will reward him with a lot of credits, enough for him to sit back and relax for a few weeks. His secondary goal is to upgrade his ship once more, new parts have come out that would improve his ship even more, it’s still top dog, but he likes being the best constantly, but with that being less important and would take time to get the parts and have them installed, that ambition is on the backburner.
His one major dream is to amass as much wealth as possible and start his own smuggling operation on a larger scale, such as the size of the Hutts or other gangs.
Skills/Abilities: Antares is skilled with almost every type of blaster pistol, he tends to have a bit of a rougher time with blaster rifles or anything larger than that, but for the most part, he’s skilled with various blasters. When it comes to blades of any kind, he tends to be a bit clunky with them, finding either their range to be too short or the weapon too cumbersome to use effectively, so he much rather stick with a blaster than using a blade.
He’s not just good with weapons but he also has a silver-tongue was well, able to persuade almost anyone into either believing he’s someone he’s not or getting them to do something for him in order to obtain whatever he’s after.
His fighting style without a blaster is mostly Echani, though he’s good with it, if someone know it better or they know more fighting styles than him, he can find himself outmatched and struggling to gain the upper hand on his opponent.
