| {Appearance} |Dak stands at a tall 6'3" and weighs 195lbs, his hair is dark and kept short, while his eyes a soft green, like sea-foam green. His eyes may be soft in color but looking into them, they have a story to tell. A hard one, at that. His facial features are even more-so. It's rare to get him to smile, although he can easily play the part when a pretty girl is involved. His attire consists of two different sets of clothing. He has his usual attire which has him in his
leather jacket, tactical
pants with knee pads (used for sliding), boots and occasionally he has a
face mask with him. When on
business, he wears his
tactical suit much like the Mandalorian armor (colored black and grey to match Kol's coat) but with his own
helmet.

| {Personality} |Dak wants to be a hero, someone that everyone knows and reveres. But barring that, heβs willing to be a sort of dark knight. As the youngest of six and constantly disregarded, Dak is independent and desperate to prove himself, wanting to show his personal talent and leave a legacy behind in the minds of everyone. But heβs not brash. He is content to observe and work quietly, and heβs very intelligent, which is no small aid. He thinks before he acts and is adept at seeing all sides and analyzing situations so he can act to his best advantage. He wants to be something and make something of himself; proving himself better than anyone could have expected is one of his highest priorities. However, as intellectually mature as he may be, Dak is still young and still learning. There is much he doesnβt understand and his social skills need work. He has somewhat of a low tolerance for certain people and is dismissive of those who are loud, unsubtle, and quick to offer opinions for everything. Nevertheless, other people are often "entitled" to his opinion in the form of his biting sarcastic remarks/expressions. Other than that he is a quiet and even somewhat withdrawn guy. While he enjoys the company of some people, solitude is a balm for him. He has to be able to think peacefully while he tinkers.
Dak is a knowledge seeker. He is one of those people who believe that knowledge and intelligence are central to success and power, so many things fascinate him. In his mind no fact or understanding of a process or a tendency is unimportant or useless and may help a person when they least expect it to. As such, he can usually provide extra information on most any subject, even if he gives it in a condescending manner. He is proud of what he knows, both the facts and the underlying understanding of how things work. Interestingly, though, Dakβs quiet, studious exterior hides somewhat of a rebellious and unconventional streak. He likes to go his own way.. He has a hard time respecting authority, but follows rules when it suits himβin other words, most of the time, but not if he has something else in mind that he deems worth the risk of losing points or perhaps damaging his image a little. However, as important as that is to him, these moments come very rarely. More frequently his unconventionality is manifested in an experimentative tendency.
Dak loves a challenge and he loves besting people, but it is usually a private victory for him. He needs not brag and draw attention to his success as long as he knows personally that he has won. However, this is not to say what he doesnβt need othersβ acclaim. Being noticed is important to him, and he hates being ignored, but he would rather people notice by themselves how outstanding he truly is. That being said, criticism tends to bounce off of him as well--he is rather selective about what he hears and chooses to take to heart. Despite a sometimes ungracious manner, and a self-preserving and self-benefiting attitude, the boy is not bad at heart. He would always stick up for those he considers his friends and is not averse to helping even strangers after he is finished, or providing it doesnβt inconvenience him. But when he is hurt, it is common to find him completely withdrawn and intractable, working only for himself in a kind of cool temper that can take a while to thaw out, even with the efforts of his closest friends. Unfortunately, Dak is also prone to hold grudges after problems with others, and he is stubborn about them, though adaptable in other situations.
Dak is a careful and patient guy. Heβll watch and wait for a long time with an observant and analyzing eye without feeling a need to do anything himself, gaining something from everything he sees. Not only that, heβs good at making what he sees help him in some way. Heβs also good at using all the resources he can to help him achieve whatever goal he has in mind. Dak is driven and works diligently to achieve any goal heβs set for himself, and places these goals above most other things. As such, heβs very organized; he hates clutter and his personal space, personal appearance, and his management of time and such are all very neat and organized, often following a schedule or other method of keeping everything in its proper place and time. It bothers him when things arenβt set out clearly and prioritized so they can be followed right. Heβs a very good multi-tasker and his organization helps him make sure everything gets accomplished exactly when and how he planned it to. If it doesn't, he'll fix it until it does.
| {Place of Origin} |Tatooine.
| {Background} |Dak began his life on Tatooine where he grew up a slave, his mother was an entertainer for one of the local Hutts until he was about 7 years old, around which time she was killed. There was absolutely no reason for it, and to keep the boy quiet, the Hutt ordered the boy to have his tongue cut out. Ever since then Dak has had a strong hatred for the Hutts. Up until he was 14, he stayed on Tatooine in servitude under a local junker where he spent most of his time in the yard tinkering with things, trying to make them work and create new masterpieces. He nearly completed himself his own droid from scratch, but a local bully had shot the thing to pieces before it even got to see the light of day.
Sometime close to his 15th birthday, he got the crazy idea to stow away on a ship to get away from the dreaded planet he had once thought of as home. Now, only to be considered another scar on his heart. He hoped to never return to the place unless it was to settle unfinished business with the Hutt who had his mother killed and cut out his tongue. The ship lead him to Coruscant, where he eventually ran into a trapper who had caught a fairly nasty Anooba that had been giving a local business some problems. They intended to kill it. Dak took it upon himself to win the beast's trust (don't ask how he did it... he couldn't tell you even if he wanted to. x) yeah, I know..low blow lol) and set it loose, but it, in turn, decided to stick around Dak as he made his way through the corrupted city, trying to find his place in the new world.
It took some years to finally get on his feet in the new world he'd been dumped into, but his bond with the Anooba whom he simply named Kol, after his last name "Coltjer", which he had decided to drop some years ago. He only ever goes by his first name, anymore. The boy found himself in the 'servitude' of a Bounty Hunter, who grew to have somewhat of a soft spot for him, and began to teach him the ways of hunting. Dak spent just less than a year 'apprenticing' under the Hunter before he was killed during one of his missions. The hunter had left behind his belongings to Dak, but Dak neither knew how to pilot a ship on his own nor had the time enough to learn. He quickly sold off the Hunter's belongings and bought his own gear, bartering with numerous aliens for rides off of different planets he traveled to, some were given freely (unbeknownst to the pilot/crew, of course.)
It's been this way that Dak has made himself a sort of life on the run, all the while he's kept up trying to perfect the device he made to help him talk. Though not with his own voice, he has a few select words to get across to a certain someone one day. He only hopes to get the chance to do so, and put a bullet between his eyes. This life of being on the run has led him here, where he will fatefully run into the crew and attempt to stow away for yet another ride across the galaxy to his next destination.
