Backpack

Backpack is a rambunctious, happy-go-lucky individual. He's secretive, nobody really knowing his true name, where he came from, or his past. His current longterm goal is to get back home to his folks, but for now he's active in a rebel cell, working against the empire. He doesn't really know what he's doing, but he's trying to be the best at it.

Born to a quaint family, in a quaint mining colony, on a quaint asteroid. Backpack quickly got tired of the farmer life, and by age six he was operating a seed ship. A few more years and he was driving. At nineteen, he smuggled himself offworld and stole a speeder, crashing into a storefront and killing the family of owners inside. He still hasn't forgiven himself for that, and probably never will. Backpack was swiftly taken into custody of the empire to be sold into slavery, but miraculously the transport ship crashed. He was a lucky survivor, crediting his current livelihood to his quick wit and piloting talent. Over the next few months, he and a small ragtag crew survived long enough to get a ship and get off the mud clump they were stranded on.

• Backpack is actually comfortable using any pronoun, but responds to he/him the best.
• He's actually biologically female, a fact he doesn't hide.
• He can understand droids perfectly, but struggles with most other languages.
