Template: New Republic Special Forces Engineer 

Species: Human

Age: 30

Gender: Male 

Height: 1.83 meters (about 6 feet) 

Weight: 102 kilograms (about 225 pounds) 

Physical Description: Tall with a strong build, but not overly muscular. Has sharp blue eyes that tend to stay slightly narrowed. Has short brown hair, and sports a short beard. 

Background: Conall was born on Chandrila 6 years before the Battle of Yavin. The major parts of the Civil War passed him by: Yavin occurred when he was 6, Hoth at 9, Endor at 10, Thrawn's rising when he was 15, and the reborn Emperor's rising at 16. With all of this happening in a short period of time, Conall was impatient to become a part of the action himself. So, at age 18, 8 years after the Battle of Endor, he enlists in the New Republic army. Not much happens during his 5 years in the regular army. At the end of those 5 years, he transfers into the Special Forces, where he is put in Echo Company of the 1st Batallion in the 5th Special Operations Regiment. After another 5 years in Special Forces, Conall is promoted to Corporal. Two years after being promoted, Echo company is sent to Coruscant for some short leave from their fighting on the rim. Four days after they arrive, the Imperial raid occurs. Echo company finds itself surrounded and trapped inside a fairly small (by Coruscant standards) building. They quickly find themselves short of supplies and ammunition, and the other New Republic forces weren't able to reach them. The short supplied 80-man company held off constant attacks for several days before finally giving way. After the Imperial Forces withdrew, rescue workers went into the shattered remains of the building that Echo company holed itself inside. They found 80 bodies, and upon close examination found that only Conall out of his entire company survived. And even though he 
survived, he was far from being unscathed. Conall received several blaster wounds (none serious) during the battle, and his right leg was lost when an Imperial E-web hit one of the company's few ammunition stores. Besides these physical wounds, he also suffered from a case of malnutrition during his hiding amongst the bodies of his comrades. Conall spent a couple of weeks in the hospital recuperating from the physical scars, although those who knew him before the attacks have said that he is still severely mentally and emotionally scarred from the experience. Later analysis of the battle indicated that Echo company killed at least 5 times its number while it was besieged, and two dozen of those kills are credited to (but not claimed by) Conall himself. For his actions, he was promoted to Sergeant and was appointed First Sergeant for Charlie Company in the newly formed 20th Special Operations Regiment. 

Personality: Tends to maintain calm through most circumstances, but can become extremely volatile when he loses his temper. Should be considered somewhat of a loose cannon.

Objectives: Nothing less than the complete and utter destruction of his enemies 

Quote: “In order to become a soldier, you must first accept the fact that you are already dead.“ 

Miscellaneous: Has a reportedly unmatched skill with handling explosives. Considered to be rather unapproachable, especially by people who only trained under him and those who have only heard of him. Those who have followed him into combat find that he sometimes let's down his impenetrable barriers when things are moving slowly. Has a prosthetic leg due to his wounds at Coruscant, which, due to the medical abilities of the time, both looks and feels authentic. 

OOC: Player's Favorite Scene: When Vader says, “No, I am your father!“ Luke's reaction kinda ruins the moment, but the Vader half was done very well.
