Character Name: Tobias "Salvo" Firith
Species: Human
General Appearance: A rather short woman, Tobias stands around 5' 2" in height, but more than makes up for it in spirit. Normally she's seen in a vest and long-sleeved shirt, accompanied by comfortably fitted pants. They often are all of a shade of brown, but she may have a dress or something nice in her closet too, though she's not quick to admit to it if she does. The two constants are her worn in boots and the holster at her hip, holding her ever-present blaster pistol. With a slim curved female build, the holster belt often appears a bit loose around her waist. Despite her rather plain wardrobe, though, she sports a vivid mane of brown and red-orange hair, kept just at shoulder length, so it can be tied back. A pair of grey eyes peek out from behind the messy bangs. They are often the key to discerning one of her moods from another, but can also be decieving, when she feels the need to do so.
Bio: A full partner and co-captain on the Crimson Mirage, Tobias was rescued from a prison on Kessel by Exal Albrek. She doesnt' often admit it, but she'd been close to giving up and committing suicide when he showed up. Exal's the only one who knows just how hard it was for her to adjust after being set free, and for her trouble she's developed a hotter temper and a sharper tongue, which have been known to get her in trouble. Her nickname comes from her tendency to explode when provoked in the right way.
As far as her past goes, she doesn't talk about it too often. It's more important to her to live for the present, especially after her time on Kessel.
She's been partnered with Exal since before they acquired the Mirage, and is therefore an equal owner, but she lets Exal act as captain most of the time. Her piloting skills, however, closely rival her partner's, though she has the propensity to attempt significantly more risky maneuvers. She acts as primary mechanic on the vessel, and is always seeking out better parts or modifications to be made, by whatever means she must. She is as protective if not moreso than Exal about the ship, as she's poured a lot of time and effort into it.
As far as employment goes, Tobias joins Exal in almost all endeavors, but isn't afraid to voice her opinion about them. She likes to remind him about the numerous times they've gotten arrested because of his crazy schemes, but will never deny that she was involved voluntarily. Her sharp tongue and firey temper aside, "Tobi" is a woman with a kind heart, and, somewhere under all of it, a gentle nurtering side. She owes Exal her life, but no one but the two of them need to know that.
Since the end of Chapter 1: After losing her partner Exal, Tobias Firith returned to the Jedi Temple to mourn and find a new start. After a short period of emotional recuperation, she began her very belated Jedi training under Master Yoda himself. Because of the strain on the Jedi, training was more rushed than it used to be, and Tobias had attained Knight status before the slaughter at the Temple. Like many others, though, she had to go into hiding for her own safety.
Physical Changes: Still a woman of tiny stature, Tobias still prefers to dress like a smuggler, but owns her own set of Jedi robes. The krayt dragon pearl segment that used to belong to Exal hangs around her neck, the rich blue stone making up the most colorful item in her wardrobe. She never takes it off, but sometimes tucks it under her shirt when she works on the ship's engines. Her vibrant orange hair was allowed to grow out during her training, reaching her lower back, and retains the same brown streaks that grow there naturally. She doesn't mind her hair long, but has to go to a lot of trouble when working in the engines.
Personality Changes: Despite the tempering influence of Jedi training, Tobias is still every bit deserving of her nickname "Salvo." She may be a trained Jedi Knight, but she's still a mechanic at heart, and spends a lot of time and energy working on the Mirage. Without Exal around, the computer systems aren't as up to date as they would be, but Tobias has made an effort to learn the software side of the ship's workings.
Abilities: Always gifted in the Force, Tobias was quite a capable student, despite the late start to her Jedi Training. Her small nimble body lends itself to acrobatics in combat, and she handles her lightsaber almost as well as her blaster. She crafted the weapon herself during training, using her mechanical prowess to make a sturdy yet compact handle for her vibrant orange blade. She easily switches between the two, and always keeps backup in the form of a vibroblade in her boot.

Character Name: Exal Albrek / Darth Callous
Species: Human
General Appearance: Has dark brown hair and eyes. He wears a black vest over a dirty grey shirt and black pants. He has a small blaster pistol in a holster on his belt. He is 26 years old and is of average height.
Class: Starship Pilot/Smuggler
Bio: Exal is the co-captain of the Crimson Mirage, a modified Taris Freighter. Ever since he learned to pilot a starship, he's spent most of his time as a small-time shipping pilot, flying a busted heap of a transport. This line of work was very unrewarding and It was on a routine delivery to the prison of Kessel, that he ran into Tobias. He was impressed by her attitude as she beat up two guards who pushed her the wrong way. He busted her out and offered her to be his second in command. However, since it took both of their efforts to "acquire" the Crimson Mirage, they settled on becoming co-owners. They have since turned to smuggling, running spice and other illegal cargo between planets. While Tobias mostly handles to mechanical aspects of running the ship, Exal takes care of the piloting and computing duties. He will not hesitate to pawn off parts of the ship if he sees a chance to make some extra money. He loves to gamble and often loses most of their payoffs at casinos around the galaxy. Though a little immature at times, he is able to straighten up when things get rough and can exhibit expert piloting and maneuvering.
Since the end of Chapter 1:Exal barely survived the explosion that took out the bounty hunter Montross. Exal's near lifeless body was recovered and Darth Tyrranus and brought back to Coruscant for medical treatment. He has since had his entire left arm and knee replaced with mechanical prosthetics. He was adopted into a training program by Darth Sidious and has since become a Dark Jedi.
Physical Changes:Exal now wears the dark robes associated with his new alignment. His face is scarred from the explosion, though not terribly disfigured. This however has become a focus of Sidious, who has convinced Exal that he is horribly scarred and misshapen, which has led Exal to hate his own appearance. He wears a mask to hide what he thinks to be terrifyingly ugly injuries.
Personality Changes:Exal is heavily focused in his dark training. He no longer is one who shows emotion or kindness toward others. He only knows his mission, to destroy the remaining Jedi.

In orbit around the planet of Soccoria, a lone ship floated in the blackness of space. The ship, was a small one-man Infiltrator class starship. The ship itself was known throughout the galaxy as tools of the Emperor, and have been known to precede destruction and death. Their occupants usually consisted of dark ones, fallen Jedi. Those trained in the ways of the Dark Side of the Force, sent forth to do the bidding of the Emperor himself. And rarely did a person live long enough to tell of seeing one.
Inside the ship, sat one lone figure. A man, hooded and robed. A plasteel mask covering his features. He sat at the ship's piloting console and stared at a recording. Standing on the transmitting device was the foot-high hologram of Palpatine. "You will go to the planet Soccoria. There you will track and eliminate a rouge Jedi who escaped my wrath. The Jedi has set up a small shop and works as a mechanic." The hologram cut out.
The man shut down the transmitting console and reactivated the ship's drive. Putting it into a low angle dive, he plummeted toward the planet. Upon landing, he would begin his search and hunt down his target. The third in a series of assassinations he had been sent on since being trained by the Emperor himself.

Tobias Firith crawled out from underneath a beaten up speeder. It was a restoration job some crazy teenagers had saved up to pay for, but she didn't care. Work was work, and right now, whatever kept the credits coming in was good enough for her.
Rising to her feet and wiping her hands on her dirty pants, the tiny woman walked to the back of the shop and started to shuffle through parts and tools in the back of her shop, looking for the part she needed to progress in her work.

The ship landed on the outskirts of the biggest city on the planet. This was where the Force was leading the man, but wherever his target was, they were hiding their Force abilities very well. HE could sense no trace of Jedi, but he would find them. It was his mission.
As he walked the streets, the semi-crowed areas parted to allow him to pass. This particular planet was not under complete Imperial control, but its people knew of the Empire and its tolls of assassination. Legends of the Dark Jedi spread fast, and nobody wanted to be the one they were looking for. The dark man stopped at a nearby stand from under his hood spoke low. "I'm looking for a Jedi..."
The man looked up from his little task and flinched. "Sorry. There are no Jedi here. I thought they were all wiped out."
"There is one here... where is he? I have been told that he works as a mechanic in this city."
"Only mechanic in this city worth anything is down by the end of the market district." The man pointed out a direction. "Down that street to the end and second to last shop on the right. Though from what I hear, she ain't nothing like a Jedi. I think you may have gotten your orders mixed."
"No... the Force has guided me... and I will find them." And with that, he continued on his way.

Tobias emerged from a pile of parts and tools with two spanners and a shiny engine part clutched in her hands. It wasn't in quite as good shape as she had hoped, but it was better than those boys had a chance of getting anywhere else. The mechanic went to a table and sat down, picking up a few tools and starting to tinker with the engine part. This was the only time she felt really content anymore, working on engine parts and making repairs. Despite the number of years it had been, she didn't lead a very happy existence, and didn't smile unless she was truly pleased with her work, or being complimented on it.

The dark figure approached the shop in which he had been directed to. Standing outside the doorway, he felt an immense feeling of nostalgia, and this worried him. He had long ago tossed aside his feelings, and their return was not expected. He hadn't felt this in many years, though he could not place what it was. All he knew is that now he could feel the tiny waves of the Force emanating from the building, and he knew that this was where he needed to go.
All he knew now was that his mission and the Force had led him here, and he had to follow both. He entered the shop, and stood there in the doorway, the shop bell ringing quietly to alert the owner of someone coming in.

Tobias sat up even before the bell rang, an odd sensation washing over the mechanic. She could have sworn it was something she'd not felt in years... She sighed and got up anyway at the sound of the bell, walking to the front and wiping her greasy hands on a shop towel, a feeling of tension starting to build on her as she walked out of the back room, "Yes good afternoon can I...." She stopped, staring at the figure in front of her, "Can I help you?"

The figure stood unmoving for several long seconds. The initial shock of this person's appearance shook him. The feeling of nostalgia grew bigger and bigger, like a fire spreading in a forest. After a few moments, he regained himself and focused on his task.
"You have been discovered. It is no use hiding any longer." The figure reached to his belt and removed the silver handle of a lightsaber. "You have been charged as a traitor to the Empire and a fugitive. I have been sent to end your existence and bring you to justice." He ignited the handle, the lightsaber's crimson blade casting a eerie red glow across the shop. "Resistance is useless..."

Tobias felt a chill, knowing she'd been caught, but something felt terribly wrong about this situation, aside from the usual. This man... for a man she knew it was, had something about him... a tingling in the Force around him that made the woman feel a lump in her throat.
Still she reached into her vest and drew out the handle of her own lightsaber, igniting the brilliant orange handle and shifting her feet to a ready stance, fixing her cool grey eyes on the man in front of her, "The Empire is traitorous to its own people... Resistance is necessary. I won't be the first and I damn well won't be the last..."

"Silence! I will not hear anymore of your slanderous lies. The Empire exists for control! For the peace of it people! And the Jedi are nothing more than an old relic of a failed experiment. They could not rule as they wanted to. They were weak. And now, they are nearly extinct. And when I kill you, the Empire will be one step closer to ridding the Galaxy of a pest." The man reared back swung the lightsaber in a high arc, just barely out of range. "I am Darth Kallous! And I shall be the instrument of your destruction!"

"You can preach about being weak when your Emperor doesn't have to resort to slaughtering children to help him gain power!" Tobias tightened her grip on her lightsaber, but wasn't about to move first. "This Empire is governed by a cowardly snake, and you're just one of his pathetic lackeys! I'll be damned if I'm going to let the likes of you destroy the Jedi."

"Ha! You have no choice! The Jedi will see the end of its existence and its will start with you!" The man lunged forward, his lightsaber flashing brightly as he swung toward his target.
