[Started late in the day but, given today is May the Fourth and Star Wars is an important part of my childhood, I did a quick character generation exercise with Fantasy Flight Games’ Star Wars: Edge of the Empire Roleplaying Game (2013).]
Gar Gedro, Twi’lek Politico
“High and Mighty” with a “Failure of character.”
Years ago on Ryloth, Gar was a young clan leader that seemed destined for greatness. That was until they worked to free a particularly desirable dancer from their contract. Gar soon discovered that this particular dancer was the “plaything” of a senior clan leader that had no inclination to free the dancer from their contract. Gar knew they should be free but, under pressure from the senior leader, relented and didn’t sign the freedom papers. Less than a year later the dancer was dead in the most twisted, perverse way at the hands of that senior clan leader. The crime was hushed up as senior “dalliances” seemingly always are. Gar left Ryloth in disgust and vowed never again to fail those who deserve freedom.
Gar is now involved in politics on Ord Mantell, on the opposite side of The Galaxy from the Twi’lek homeworld of Ryloth. Rumors are that Gar has a sizable bounty on his head, which is a somewhat incongruent thought given their outspoken participation in local politics. The Twi’lek population of Ord Mantell is usually low-key in their politics, not wishing to draw any attention to their “other” activities but Gar seems to act the opposite. The hidden reality is that Gar is part of an “underground hyperspace route” that helps escaped “contracted indentured workers” find their freedom and a new life away from the clans of Ryloth. Doing so has inevitably made him a few enemies in the clans…
