Name: Aamaw Towron
Age: 20
Species: Ithorian 
Planet of Origin: Ithor (Herdship above the planet)
Prior Occupation: Trader-in-exile

Appearance:
Standing at just under two metres, Aamaw appears to be very much the typical Ithorian, his colourful and worn garments the most striking feature of his appearance. 

Personality:
Aamaw, like most of his kind is polite to the extreme, mild-mannered and a little shy. Preferring peace over conflict, it seems odd to many that he would find himself in the ranks of the Rebel Alliance. Holding a profound respect for both nature and the views of others, Aamaw is deeply curious about the world around him. Equally happy to spend hours in meditation, or talking to others, Aamaw’s empathy is evident to all.

However, Aamaw is also a fervent supporter of the Rebel’s ideology, believing in the absolute glory of the The Old Republic. Further, he also holds deep religious convictions.He can become uncharacteristically aggressive and even violent during times when his beliefs are challenged, and it is these feelings that have driven him to join the Rebellion.

History: 
Like many of his species, Aamaw was born and raised aboard one of the gargantuan herdships that orbit his lush homeworld of Ithor. From a young age he was taught the pacifist ways of his people, and encouraged to treat others with dignity and respect. His father, a member of the respected order of nature priests instilled these values within him day after day, and ensured Aamaw was raised in the correct manner.

However, Aamaw was different from others of his kind. While he respected his own culture, he was fascinated by the world beyond his ship. On the rare occasions a trader would dock to sell equipment and supplies, Aamaw would question them relentlessly, eager to learn everything he could about their history, their culture, their life. Through such questioning Aamaw grew to learn of the world beyond his own, and was driven to restlessness. He longed to see the rest of the galaxy. 

His only chance of escape was to hide aboard one of the merchant ships. With his plan hatched, he packed a few simple belongings, and with a mixture of regret and excitement, crept aboard a merchant’s ship bound for some far away planet. At first, the plan worked. The freighter left the herdship smoothly, and began the jump to hyperspace. During the journey however, Aamaw was discovered by the pilot; disaster had struck.

Fortunately, the pilot was a friendly enough man, and allowed Aamaw to stay aboard the ship, provided he help where he could. Over the next several years Aamaw travelled with the man, learning how to fly and maintain ships, as well as barter with other merchants. As he travelled, moving from crew to crew, his thoughts often wandered to home, and his father, and he would have eventually returned, had the Empire not interfered. 

On a routine shipment of medical supplies, the ship Aamaw was aboard was attacked, the pilot killed when he tried to resist and the cargo stolen. Aamaw had always heard rumours of the Empire’s brutality, but witnessing it first-hand he knew he had to act. Fearing what they would do to his homeworld if they found it, Aamaw signed on with the Alliance, hoping his skills could be used to help protect the home he once knew.

Useful Skills:
-Aamaw is an excellent pilot, having flown a variety of ships over the years during his time as a merchant. 

-His mechanical skills are also excellent, having learned how to operate and repair a broad range of equipment ranging from larger ships to simple blaster pistols. Gear was always worth more when it was fully functional after all. 

-Aamaw is a skilled barterer, having practised the art for many long years.

-Lastly, Aamaw possess some degree of intelligence and is able to think clearly during stressful situations, having relied on faded starmaps to guide him through deep space.
