Rekara is naturally one of those beings who seem to naturally avoid being noticed, as he has the habit of sitting still and listening so that those around him forget he is there; a side benefit of scout training.  He has always been an idealistic Mon Cal, and though he knows better he still seeks the best in beings, and though he is often disappointed he is occasionally rewarded.  He has an inquisitive nature, and is not afraid to pursue things that he finds intriguing.  Risks are calculated against the potential rewards, and he follows the creed, “Who dares wins”.  He is creative and quiet, enjoying human classical music when possible and hums along,  He doesn’t often speak, unless he has something to say, preferring to let others speak their minds.  Rekara has a good heart and generous nature, and is possessed of a sense of honor.   Like many Mon Cal, he has a poor opinion of Quarran and considers them beyond redemption.

Family-  Uncle Oro on Mantan.  All others deceased in 22 BBY from Quarran battle droid attacks during Battle of Mon Calamari.

History – Rekara was born on the planet Dac in 37 BBY, which is the homeworld of the Mon Calamari.  His family were primarily academics who placed a high value on a good education, thus Rekara benefited from a high caliber education from early youth on.  When he was nine years old, the Katana Fleet disappeared mysteriously, an event which interested the young Rekara and drove his future forward into Scouting.  Wanting to learn of the mysteries of the Galaxy, Rekara studied hard and eventually earned his graduate degree from the University of Foamwater City.  The best path to explore the ways of the universe seemed to be in the Scouting profession rather than in the halls of academe, and he yearned to go exploring.  To prepare himself for his path to the stars, Rekara joined the local Mon Cal military for training as a scout pilot and quickly gained recognition, in addition, for his keen perception and ability to infiltrate secured areas.  His skills were put to good use in securing information on Quarran activities, while the situation grew more tense between the planets inhabitants.  With his information on visual activities, the Mon Cal were able to contact the Jedi with activity reports.

Then in 22 BBY, the situation between the Mon Cal and the more populous Quarran came to a head, when the Quarran Isolation League struck the cities of the Mon Cal with the help of the Confederation of Independent Systems (CIS) and their battle droids.  During the first city assaults by the ruthless droids, Rekara’s entire family was killed, a fact that Rekara didn’t learn until later.  The Jedi sent an assault fleet under Jedi Master Kit Fisto to assist the Mon Cal and restore the planet to order and peace.  With the arrival of Jedi-led reinforcements, the tide turned against the Quarran, and Rekara briefed the Jedi Master and his Head Quarters on intelligence he had gathered from his scouting missions into Quarran territory.  This helped Jedi Master Fisto in his battles against the Quarran and the Moappa.  With the Moappa neutralized and the Quarran eventually subdued, peace was restored, at which time Rakara learned of the death of his family.  His only surviving family member was his Uncle Oro on the Mon Calamari colony world of Mantan, where he served as a design engineer for spacecraft.  One of the Jedi accompanying Master Fisto, Master Shulamith Rah, learned of the fate of their Mon Cal scout’s tragedy, and offered Rekara support in his time of loss.  The young Mon Cal was grateful for the support of the Jedi in saving his world from the Quarran revolt, and listened to the advice of his new friend Shulamith Rah to overcome his grief.

Having learned of the useful skills of the local scout on Dac, the Jedi quietly arranged for Rekara to be employed through a series of third parties and given assignments which honed his skills in scouting and piloting.  His new friend, Jedi Master Shulamith Rah “kept in touch” with Rekara as he went about his career, and their friendship deepened with repeated contacts.  The maturing Mon Cal had grown to know the selfless service of the Jedi to the Republic, and they thus held a positive image for the scout.
 
By the year 19 BBY, Rekara had not only mastered the art of scouting, but had begun a career as an Ace Pilot, serving in many capacities to pilot others on business in the Galaxy.  During this time he learned Bocce, and served for an extended period with a Wookie co-pilot, and learned the language and customs to an expert degree as a measure of respect for his compatriot.  He had also managed to amass a small supply of trading goods from all over the Galaxy, which he used to sell on various planets to keep his income supplemented, and it gave him cover for his scouting activities. 

Over the years, Rekara picked up occasional work on various short term contracts for vessel transit runs or ship ferrying missions, which broadened his list of contacts.  In addition, he frequently contracted with a bounty hunter and/or mercenary group known as the Blackbirds, commanded by ARC-88 "Backblast", their CO and leader.   His latest contract job as a pilot for Rhoza Feldan expired and he was paid off on Coruscant.  Finding himself temporarily out of work, Rekara made his way to a space port bar to run his contact list, drink and look for work.

I'll get my sheet up later. Some basic information on my character, I'm definitely going to be fitting into the Bruiser archetype, being mostly skilled in combat, with some computers acumen and face skills.

Cyrenia Jakita, is a professional soldier in every way, raised and Trained by an adoptive Mandalorian mother, bled by the Imperial Warmachine before settling into a profitable life as a mercenary, there's no one better to have at your side in a firefight or a high society dinner

Personality: A confident and skilled mercenary, Cyrenia presents a stoic and ice cold demeanor to employers and those she doesn’t know, though to her few friends she is a sensitive if not exactly warm soul.

Background: Cyrenia doesn’t remember much about her parents, nor does she care to. They were uninteresting people who became collateral damage of a hunt that her adoptive mother, Raina Jakita was on, taking note of the Cyrenia and her sister Liava, Raina in the interest of passing on her legacy and training she took them with her. Raised in a spartan lifestyle of hardship and tests, they were trained in hand to hand combat, marksmanship, tracking, navigation. Melee, technology, intimidation, persuasion and proper etiquette. Forging them into at the beginning passable soldiers. From there it was learning on the job, working with their mother as Apprentices before at 18 they were told to strike out on their own.
Cyrenia found herself in the employ of the Red Star brotherhood, a mercenary company known for their one hundred percent success rate. An early stand out due to her training, Cyrenia did well with the brotherhood, who hired themselves out to the Empire, Black Suns and the Hutt cartels, her missions among the company weren’t particularly interesting, ranging from search and destroy to industrial sabotage and kidnapping but she enjoyed good pay and combat experience.
Eventually her contract ran out and she was approached by a middle level Black Suns member who hired her on as muscle for his various needs, she enjoyed a fruitful partnership with him until his untimely death and the nullification of her contract, from their she moved on to a smaller company of like minded bounty hunters and mercenaries called the Blackbirds, and plied the outer rim with them, meeting all kinds of new contacts. Seeing more and more of the galaxy and killing all kinds of interesting new creatures and developing an arsenal of even more deadly and interesting equipment. Recently, she was informed of the death of her mother and had a long awaited reunion with her sister, now a pirate of some skill and they received their inheritance.
