 Welcome to the datapad of one Demarr, a city boy from Balosar who had dreams of once being a crime lord and became a Sith instead. Ah, Star Wars-based rp. Perri, his author, writes in black. Demarr writes in purple. Typically, this front page is out of character (OOC) and the rest is in character (IC). Treat this like a book: don't write in it without the author's permission. Enough of the boring stuff. On to the game!

Personality: Demarr is a con-artist, and a skilled one, even at the age of nine. He has a very good memory, as his caretaker Iilo has noted, and a fair head for calculations. He uses these skills along with his natural ability to sense emotions to read people quickly and use their own reactions against them to further his goals. He is jaded and fairly mature for his age due to the early loss of his parents, but he is careful to hide it. He is very friendly and quick to smile, always ready with a kind word or warm joke to put people at ease. His brother taught him how to steal and pickpocket well in case he needed to support himself, and he has a tendency to see just how much he can get away with without being caught. The c***k in his jovial, blustery armor is his scars, and he does not react well when people remark on them. Demarr hates twi'leks on principle, having been told repeatedly by his mother that they had doomed his planet and were really responsible for his father's death. He misses his home, having decided he was going to be a head of a crime syndicate, not some hoity-toity off-worlder. He's had a hard life, but he doesn't see it as such. Other than missing his mother, he thinks Balosar is a wonderful, challenging place, and doesn't understand why he should want to live anywhere else. He has embraced the 'relative ethics' of his world, and will probably find the set rules of right and wrong the Jedi and Sith embrace rather constricting.
History: Demarr is an orphan, raised by his older brother Mehtne and his long time girl friend Iilo. His father was murdered just after he was born by thieves looking to relieve him of his Spice store. His mother blamed the Twi'leks for her husband's death more than his killers, telling her young son constantly how there never would have been anyone desperate enough to do such a thing if the Twi'leks hadn't ruined Balosar. Every memory but one Demarr has of his mother contains some form of this speech – the odd one out is of her disappearance. One night when he was five, men broke into their house and dragged his mother away into the darkness. He has not seen her since. As they left, they set fire to the house. A neighbor pulled him from the flames, but he still wears the scars from that day etched into his skin.
Mehtne, who is eleven years older than his younger sibling, found him two days later and has raised Demarr ever since. He works as a pilot for a local branch of an organized crime syndicate, and his girlfriend Iilo is their accountant. They have done their best to give the young boy a home, but have also made sure that he understands the harsh world Balosar is and how to take care of himself. It was Iilo who thought to send the child away, hoping his good memory and quickness of foot would help him to find some niche on a better world out among the stars. When she secretly sent an application and request for a recommendation to an old acquaintance who worked as a servant at the Jedi temple, she never imagined the papers would be handed in to the temple itself. It took her quite a while to get over the shock of Demarr's acceptance, and then even longer to convince Mehtne and the boy that this was a good thing, but the child has finally been sent towards a new life. He had best make something of himself, or he will have to return to the world that swallowed his parents whole.

-The Planet-
excerpted from the Wookiepedia with some edits
"Balosar is a planet in the Core Worlds, and home to the Balosar species. It is a polluted, poverty-stricken world of grimy factories and downtrodden people, and a place where tourism was discouraged. Such an environment encourages many of the native Balosars to become criminals.
Underground, protected from air pollution, were grown large crops of balo mushrooms, and extract of which was used to make death sticks. Death sticks were the primary rival of ryll on the spice market.
When the New Republic came to be, Balosar did not join it. About that time, the planet suffered a setback: air pollution infiltrated the underground balo farms, poisoning the crops and the stored spores. As a result, ryll was able to practically monopolize the drug world."
-The People-
excerpted from the Wookiepedia with some edits
"Balosars (or Balosarians) are humanoids with retractable antennae. They are indigenous to Balosar. A Balosar's antennas allow him to listen into the subsonic range. Their antennas give the species a physical intuition, which the Jedi sometimes mistook for Force sensitivity. Their antennas can also sense surges in emotion and detect danger. They use these abilities to help them survive on their crime-infested world. Balosars are also resistant to toxin despite their frail physiques. This immunity can be attributed to their planet's polluted atmosphere, giving them a high resistance.
Balosars are commonly stereotyped as spineless, weak-willed, depressed, sarcastic, cynical, and selfish. However, Balosars acquire these traits due to poverty and unhealthiness due to Balosar's pollution. The Journal of Personality and Galactic Psychology does not indicate any sort of genetic link to these emotions.
Balosars often leave their homeworld to look for a more prosperous place to live. Since many carry criminal records, they were perceived as self-absorbed individuals who have a difficult time to determine right from wrong. Young Balosars are commonly sent to worlds with better education. If a young Balosar is unsuccessful in school, they are sent back home to face the same bleak prospects they left behind.
Death sticks were a devastating factor in Balosar society, where they addict users forcing them to purchase more. Pollution is one of the causes of the heavy addiction to death sticks, but the Balosar's immunity to toxin allows them to consume them without much effect other than the life-long addiction. Balosars even entered the death stick business, where they would travel in hopes of finding potential customers."
-The History-
excerpted from the Wookiepedia with some edits
"During the reign of the Galactic Republic, illegal trade in death sticks became the greatest competition to the spice from Ryloth called ryll. The rivalry resulted in a hatred between the Balosars and Twi'leks.
By the time the New Republic was formed, Balosar's pollution seeped into the balo mushroom farms destroying the Balosar's economy. The Balosars had no choice but to join the Twi'lek's spice industry as low-level runners.
When the Yuuzhan Vong War occurred, the Balosars were not bound to treaties with the New Republic and were therefore not protected by its military. However, they escaped the Yuuzhan Vong's conquest and their planet remained as it always was throughout the invasion."
