He has a blaster on his hip and pants tucked into his combat boots. Hiding a knife in a sheaf on his ankle. He has an old set of Mandalorian Armor, but would only wear it if he felt like he was going into an epic battle, Otherwise it stays locked up on his cargo ship.
     
    Face Claim: Jensen Ackles
     
    Personality:
     
    Tan comes off as the typical smuggler type. He works for money and doesn't mind taking jobs that other people wouldn’t take a risk on. In truth he likes the danger, though he doesn't want to die, he does believe that when it's time to die, he wants a real good death. Something honorable and epic.
     
    His word is very important to him, and he would perish before breaking it. If he takes a job he'll follow through to completion even if it's a suicide mission. In fact he's taken quite a few of those already, but they obviously weren't suicide for him. He seems like he never gets scared, but in truth he gets scared all the time, he just doesn't show it.
    He’s still haunted by seeing his family killed. His mom, dad, little sister, and big brother. He uses humor to mask any insecurities, and his sanity is always in question. He speaks to his loyal robot buddy, endearingly named ‘Sparky’ as if human and his little brother.
     
    History:
     
    Tan was six when his family was wiped out in front of his eyes. It was a day that he would never forget. It wasn't uncommon for civil war to wage on their world, but a mysterious force with flying machines unlike any fighter he had ever seen scorched their home, leaving nothing but ash and charred bones. They called the death weapon the ‘Rain of Fire’. Tan had miraculously survived, since he had been buried by a large pile of debris that had collapsed earlier during the fight. A smuggler came to loot what was left in the surviving buildings and found him. The guy had mercy, and took him in. The man who saved him kept the kid on as a crew member and taught him everything he knew. Tan never learned the man’s name, he just went by ‘Night’.
     
    One day the cargo ship, code named 'Dark Sky' was attacked. Night jumped into his fighter ordering Tan to fly away. Of course Tan didn’t, and tried to fight from the freighter. He was helpless as he saw Night's ship explode. Tan was then caught in a tractor beam and brought aboard the ship. The crew were pirates. They sold the now pre-teen kid as a slave to the Huts, and kept the ship. Over the next 8 years Tan served well, and fought in underground battles.
     
    He won his freedom and a few friends, who helped him find his old ship. The Dark Sky had been retrofitted with a great deal of advancements, better armor, weaponry, shielding, most importantly it was customized for speed. Tannis snuck onto the ship using a stealth generator, and killed everyone necessary, to take back his ship.
     
    When he got away he made some modifications of his own and gave the ‘ol girl’ a paint job. Now looking new and improved, he set out as a smuggler, the only life he knew. He's made some connections along the way and now lives from adventure to adventure. Trying to eke out a living.
