About Jek Tarkin
Jek Tarquin
High Concept: Failed Jedi Pilot
Trouble: "I'm in control, dammit!"
Backstory: Jek was taken by the Jedi to enter the academy when he was 5. He grew up there, but his obsession with always being in control stifled his growth in the Force. Finally there was little choice but to wash him out, sending him to pilot academy where he excelled. But he always harbored a little bitterness that other less talented force users succeeded where he failed.
Description: Jek is a slight human, with black hair and burning eyes. He's quick with a joke, but scowls when no one is watching.
A starport's library is supposed to be a quiet place, so when Jek slipped in there with the all-too-willing Twi'lek lass, he thought his day was about to get much better. But after she knocked him out with gas, he came to only to discover he was locked in with a bookworm for company.
And that's when the security droids malfunctioned...
Phase aspect: Sucker for a pretty face
When a case of mistaken identity sends Jek on a diplomatic mission as the Jedi-in-charge, he has to scramble to get out alive as well as avoid an inadvertent marriage to the Crown Princess of Vergon Prime and a civil war between Vergon Prime and Vergon Beta.
Aspect: I swear I thought I knew what I was doing!
Last chapter for Jek: When a routine piloting duty leads to a stowaway and a hostage situation, Jek gets caught up in a human trafficking ring. His weakness for a pretty face may be his undoing when it's revealed that nothing is as it seems!
Last Aspect:"Never Trust Appearances!"
Skills:
Great (+4): Pilot
Good (+3): Notice, Provoke
Fair (+2): Will, Fight, Shoot
Average (+1): Investigate, Mechanics, Deceive, Athletics
Stunts:
Intuitive Mind Trick: Use Will to persuade a target
Faster, Must Go Faster: You can coax more speed out of your vehicle than seems possible. Whenever you’re engaged in any contest where speed is the primary factor (such as a chase or race of some kind) and you tie with your Pilot roll, it’s considered a success.
I Got a Bad Feeling About This: You have an almost preternatural capacity for detecting danger. Your Notice skill works unimpeded by conditions like total concealment, darkness, or other sensory impairments in situations where someone or something intends to harm you.
