Physical Description: Jet has long brown hair which she normally has tied back in a ponytail. Her typical outfit conssts of a black flightsuit with a brown vest with pouches, brown shoulder, knee, and elbow armor, with a brown belt with a hoster and numerous pouches, topped off with shiny black gloves and boots. She has deep brown eyes and despite her boyish attitude, quite attractive ( though the force had better be with you if you think you have a chance with this girl! Her friend Derigo once said ,"This is what i tell people,'Rule #1 of survival, never cat call Jet."

Background:  She was born a prodigy (or Diamond in the rough as the Star wars people call it) on Tatooine. At age five, her family and friends were all killed. She took her fathers blaster, killed a trooper, and ran all the way to the Jundland wastes. A Jedi master who had followed Obi-Wan kenobi to Tatooine saved her and took her in as his last Jedi apprentice (buzz cut and all; somethings can't be changed). When she was eight, the empire (or the hutts) found him and Jet had to run away to Mos Eisley. Disguising herself as a boy, she survived until she got a job for a freigter pilot named Jago Catanoga (and got to be a girl again). Her pay was that he taught her how to pilot the ship and fight. When he was arrested for fringe dealings, she got the ship (and her cool clothes) which he had affectionately named the Hammerjet. By some miracle, she found another "diamond in the rough" her age (nine at the time) named Derigo- at the time he was the youngest information dealer around- who got her a job with a smuggler named Donrin who found it good for business to use unsuspicious people for smuggling- Jet fit the profile. When they first met, Derigo didn't hit off too well with Jet being he acted like a real hot shot, had ridiculous prices for the info he gave her, and called her every name she hated in the book (babe, hun, sweetheart). Eventually he began working for Donrin and they became pals. Derigo has been a loyal friend and occasional co pilot ever since. She was excellent at her job as a smuggler and life was good. During this time she met another boy, an orphan mechanic named Dean Calan (her age) who she and Derigo had to smuggle out of an overbearing military school. After finding out his home planet of Alderaan was nothing more than a bunch of rocks (he'd been born on a ship in the area) he became her gunman for her ship (which is a Corellian Freighter kind of like Han's except triangle shaped). She, Dean and, Derigo, have been teamed up many times and are loyal friends to this day. For a while she had a co pilot named Nell who left to become an X-wing pilot. This prompted jet to begin doing minor spywork and giving info to the republic, for she had vowed she would do everything possible to avenge the deaths not only of her family and friends, but of all the wrongfully persecuted and martyred. She began leaving anonymous messages via droids or datadisks until she was 13 and she revealed hersel. It was just before this point that her life was changed forever. While shipping a supply of illegal weapons, Jet got caught in the tractor beam of a star destroyer (without Dean or Derigo to help). With no options, she destroyed the shipment but was still kept prisoner for a year. Using her many gained skills, she escaped with her ship during a space battle. She got out to find two prices on her head. Luckily (or unluckily), they both were for her living hide. One from the Empire who needed her for her information, and one from donrin who lost a good deal of money. With bounty hunters all around her, Jet had no other choice but to continue her work as a valuable asset to the New republic.

Personality: Tough, but well humored, Jet has an attitude to be reckoned with. She's always been a bit tomboyish. She can be as friendly as anyone or as sarcastic and dangourous as a snake. Even though her jedi training has kept her on the path of the light side, she still is perfectly willing to let her blaster do the work. 

Objectives: To see the end of the empire and to survive the bounty hunters. She also has a secret objective to keep Dean Calan alive being he's not much more than a mechanic, not a mercenary. 

Quote: "It's very important to your future you do not finish that sentence." 

Miscellaneous: Jet is known by many as 'Eyes of fire' because of her adept ability to stare people down (with some help from the force). Though good willed and pretty good at resisting the dark side, her temper can get the best of her. She is a master of blaster and hand to hand combat thanks to her smuggling and agent training (plus some pointers from Jago Catanoga and Donrin). She tends to use the force or her lightsaber as a near last resort (not dead last but near) and her Jedi training was not totally completed, although she is very perceptive in her force senses and can sense moods. She is force sensitive (Oh Bah Duh). 

OOC: Player's Favorite Scene: When the stormtrooper smacks his head into the door in the death star control room and "What you think you're some kind of jedi waving your hand around like that?"
