Appearance
His face matches his age well, as 'Jyk' has aged well throughout his career in the Rebel Alliance. Jy' Sar Kelko bares hazel-brown shades of hair, along with eyes of a similar, though slightly amber, eye colour. His height is moderately tall within his age limit, standing at the 6' 1" area, since he last checked. As Jy' Sar Kelko has realised, some point out that it may come as a flaw towards his service within the Alliance Military, but that threat of being a target is slightly lessened by his build. Not bulky as such, it does pack a small showcase of muscle, but nothing amazing or worth bragging about.
When it comes to attire, there are a few standard uniforms you'd find in his ship's quarters that suit the situation Forest V has been tasked with. First of all, there's the Housun Forest BDU, as all Rebels are famous for wearing in dense forests and jungles. Without a cape, and a small military rucksack to go over the bottom, it provides the same camouflage as any other Infantrymen would have. Being a grenadier, he holds multiple harnesses around his chest, waist and legs for carrying extra explosives, ammunition for the launcher he's gifted with and small general utilities. However, Jy' Sar Kelko's speciality is Urbanised Warfare, and a fair quantity of landscape in Housun is urbanised or industrial land for Imperial Forces. It is very similar of the Rebel Vanguard uniform, though with only more harnesses and less plating that said comparison may receive. Finally, the off duty uniform, as seen above in the image, generally consists of longer coats to conceal weaponry, look fashionable and allow improvised plating to sit atop if he doesn't have access to a standard uniform.
Personality
In his mind, 'Jyk' imagines himself as a Standard Rebel Soldier. Wilful towards a strong cause, and determined to achieve what he and others alike want, he can be quite sturdy in opinion and mindset. Yet through this, there is something that sets him apart form most Rebel Fighters. As most guerrilla fighters have grown up with a deep hatred for the Empire, and signed up to the Rebellion late into their life, they are generally more radical and daring than someone like Jyk. He believes he's seen and grown up knowing the opposition, and this puts him behind others on the sense of being outlandish.
He's been described to generally have 'Two-Faces' from his career and persona. To begin with, there's the Rebel Trooper face. This is where he is seen to be more serious, more focused and active. Having a position like his amongst Forest V is something he takes very seriously, and a lot of the comic relief that newer rebels use in deadly situations is generally not appreciated. Jyk despises many of the new volunteers that come from smuggling backgrounds, due to their lust for fame and fortune through a real life war. Heroism is something that isn't earned through actions, but simply being there fighting for what is right.
Then it comes to his 'Other-Face'. This is more his social side, whenever he's not thrown into a situation that could potentially kill him. He's calm, usually quite sympathetic. A noted flaw in his design by his mother and father back on Naboo, he has a habit of getting close to fellow comrades and work-mates. In this sense, it makes it far harder for him to let go of their deaths when they eventually occur. The worst part is that Jyk is fully aware of this flaw, and can sometimes lead him to not talk to others for quite some time. Unless spoken to first, its difficult to get any casual conversation out of him. Coming from a place with strengthened opinions, he sometimes portrays this within his leisure.

Strengths and Flaws
When it comes to strengths and flaws, Jy' Sar Kelko can be seen as littered with ones that cancel out others, filled with many contradictions as such. As stated before, one of his biggest flaws is his build. He definitely isn't the strongest Rebel in Forest V, if not anywhere else, but he's certainly not the weakest. Another major one is his attachment to other soldiers and comrades alike, making it difficult to let them go if something critical or lethal comes their way. This can make him protective of fellow soldiers, which can be seen as a strength in some aspects, but does potentially place him in danger as well. And to top it all off, the sight of Imperial supremacy, which is common nowadays, lowers his morale and determination towards a goal.
But Jy' Sar Kelko is no useless Rebel. His aim is good. Very good, in fact. It falls short of being considered 'Marksmen-Level', but with both the E-11 Imperial Blaster and the A280 Blaster Rifle he has racked up some decent experience with either one. Because of this, it makes his adaptability far wider, knowing that he can use basic and common Imperial weaponry if his own cannot be present. Another strength could be noted down as authority. He's not a drill-sergeant at all, but having capabilities and experience under his belt, he knows how the Imperials fight in common situations and scenarios. Overall, it's made him quite a respected soldier amongst the newly formed Forest V instantly, having small occurrences of having to lead small teams of Grenadiers. Finally, along with his determination, would be what he has been idolised for. Grenadiers are trained to get into dangerous situations, knowing they cannot abandon their post if an explosive needs to be placed somewhere. This has nearly cost his life several times, but rebel reports state that he's managed to pull through several injuries after holding his ground with a Launcher.
Background
Though the appearance in data-banks aren't common, the location of Jy' Sar Kelko's birth and upbringing was a site of one of the most iconic developments of rebellious natures. Raised on Naboo, he wasn't born anywhere like Theed. Instead, his family and himself lived along a massive chain of towns and villages. They couldn't been classified as one large city, but separate political icons from each town split them off into their own smaller and manageable statuses. These towns were as peaceful as Theed had been, right up until the introduction of the Galactic Empire.
The Town began to show signs of Imperial Sympathisers early upon the Fall of the Republic. Many went along with the common rabble, but kept their mouths shut. Those who portrayed the ideals of the Imperial life aloud were the catalyst for what some may consider the early rebels of the Mid-Rim. Overtime, those who sympathised with the old-republic ways spoke aloud too, but that only led in brutal bar fights, street brawls and house raids. Soon, the towns began to split into two sides. The Imperials were bound to get involved.
An Imperial Officer, under the name of Gual Noheem, set up a small campaign to link these towns together under one banner, as a way to supply the local forces with fresh recruits and conscripted units under the Empire's Military flag. When he travelled with a few armed Imperial Peacekeepers to forge a reunion and recruitment event for these towns, he was surprisingly astonished on how much effort it took for him to make it out alive. All the peacekeepers were brutally beaten by the rebellious members of the town, and the officer was quick to pull the trigger before nearly taking a vibroblade to the gut. With his report shining out amongst all Imperial channels situated on Naboo, Stormtroopers were quickly implemented and garrisoned within the town. Whenever protests went on, they were quick to 'Arrest' the opposition. Many disappeared overnight, and Jy' Sar Kelko was never in doubt to think they were killed or forced into labour camps.
After a Imperial Shooting of fourteen killed during a protest, a small cell branched out to flee the town, and the planet itself. This cell armed themselves with a few blasters and multiple ships as soon as they heard about a Rebel Alliance being forged in the shadows of their adversary. Jy' Sar Kelko was relatively young at this point, and half of the refugee's ships were destroyed during their escape of the planet. Those who predicted the Rebel Alliance to be true were in fact correct, as they were soon transported to Ethora, where most of them almost instantly signed up to the Rebel Alliance military.
Jyk grew up as a rifleman originally, as most Infantry start as. Instead of remaining amongst the riflemen, he grew a huge bond with members of the Grenadiers situated on Ethora, and eventually transferred to continue his young training alongside the specialised group. Here, he earned his place in the Rebel Alliance Military, and fought for several years leading up towards this day. He partook in enough operations and small raids to gain a reputation amongst the ranks of his own, but was quick to react when the positions for Forest V were available.

Biography
Captain Gesplal hasn't exactly brought any big names for herself over the years served within the Rebel Alliance Navy. From that, there isn't too much to be told. She's Mon Calamari, of course, has served among multiple divisions and has made a place within the Officers' department through battle-tactics and troop command, having control over several small vessels in the past to suit the Rebel Alliance's needs and wants. She's not so much an experienced Captain, however, and has only had this role for a certain amount of time, but that doesn't mean she's capable.
Her number of operations, only a few notable for including physical combat rather than ship-to-ship battles, stands high like her rank, but it isn't something too much to brag for. Captain Gesplal stood as 2IC for a Rebel Military Group, one much like Forest V, that did not end well. The infamous fall of Bantha II, another well composed Rebel Platoon, gave lessons and ways of belief to her, meaning she is devoted to making little to no mistakes. After the grief of her previous Captain from Bantha II, it is clear that she does not want any repeat, for her sake and those of her soldiers.

Biography
Admiral Hucke is definitely a name that used to strike fear into the hearts and minds of those against the Empire...Keywords would be 'used to'. Once known as Captain Hucke, he was known for his skills in commanding multiple assigned Star Destroyers upon occupational operations and destructive cleansing programmes. One thing that made this man so infamous was his siege at Tatooine, where multiple space-ports and cities located on the planet were struck heavily with bombardments from his Imperial II - Classed Star Destroyer in order to rid of high value targets, remove potential resistance cells worldwide and make an immense name for the Galactic Empire. ALong the outer-rim, his infamy grew stronger than anywhere else as ruthless campaigns began popping up everywhere. Eventually, Captain Hucke became a key-figure for a new plotting point for the Empire...A key designer and contributor to the new designs of a Star Destroyer that would prove far more powerful than anything before.
Unfortunately for the Empire, but the opposite for the Galaxy, during an encounter with a defecting Imperial Fleet, a Star Destroyer of similar classification was disabled from the fleet he was stationed within, causing it to topple and slam into Hucke's own vessel. The two collided with great force, and Hucke's ship was identified by local rebel scouts stationed on Dantooine crashing down onto the surface in a colossal demonstration. After that, many of his adversaries wrote him down as: K.I.A. on their hit-lists, and he became a shadow of his former self. Though when he supposedly disappeared, his name inspired other Naval figures to follow his line of work, thus making the Imperial Navy far more destructive and fearful.
What many did not know was that the Emperor himself saw Captain Hucke as a priority towards the designs of a new Star Destroyer. Knowing that the battle was going to be quite unforgiving between the defecting fleet and his own, Darth Sidious withdrew Captain Hucke under 'Unknown-Circumstances' and promoted one of his lieutenants to Captain to replace him temporarily; yet that Captain did die on the same day of promotion. After time passed, he reappeared into a Fleet of his own as Admiral Hucke, little known about the partial time in-between of his development phase. Still not public to those of the Rebellion and citizens of the Galaxy, his name is sure to come back with the upcoming plans of his new Star Destroyer, Fleet and keen eyes on announcing his newfound authority.
Notices
- Though there isn't much on physical combat experience written down on accessible reports, he's been seen to use a Blaster Pistol at high standards. Whether it is public execution or simple defence, it's there, and it's deadly.
- The Empire puts trust in Hucke, more trust than any other standard Admiral. His spontaneous actions and daring manoeuvres employ fear and stress towards an enemy. Being predicable isn't his forte.
- Admiral Hucke has aged since his last appearance publicly, but the features and look of his face are unmistakably recognisable. Through the countless uses of his face through Imperial propaganda, both for and against the Empire, it's almost indefinite to recognise the man.

Biography
Though there really isn't much to tell about Sith Master Noialat, he does have information that can be noted down. Someone of the name of Treith Noialat existed amongst the Rebels and early resistance fighters a few years ago. A young fighter raised from Jedi-Based parents, from what they could remember, he propelled in some of the up-front conflicts that was prepared to be delivered towards the Empire. The Empire, however, were lucky to have a particular piece of information towards the Sith. Noialat was always a scholar, and one to try and dig as deep into information as humanly possible. He dug deep, too deep. It caught his interest. So much than when the Empire finally arrested him, he disappeared from the face of the Rebel Databanks, and seemingly existence itself.
If this is the very same Rebel, which is likely, then what is predicted is that the Emperor himself manipulated the man to become one of his own, using the years they had together to convince, train and excel his abilities within the Imperial military. No one can predict how far into his training he has gone, or if he's an able Sith weapon. The existence of this Sith individual were discovered during an espionage raid on Imperial Databanks. Upon finding small information about the name so familiar, the rebels were soon sure that they had discovered their old friend. Yet, word has it that it is someone different, using the name to intimidate the rebels altogether. Either way, it's become a gossip point among standard Alliance units, as some speak of times to encounter the very man they discovered.
Notes
- The only thing that the Rebels have on the current well-being of this Sith Master is that he was assigned towards an Imperial Admiral. Where, who or why this happened is unknown, but they think that this information is an indication towards great progress in his power.
- Two single-bladed lightsabers were reported to be the weapon of choice, limiting the ability of the force, but increasing the chances of striking a hit. Potentially, this could be an advantage and a disadvantage to anyone who meets them in combat.
