From The Whereabouts

I don't have a name so I'm posting here to confirm the character concept for Brian.

  • Human native to Xyquine II in the Corellian Sector - A sector that inspires the phrase "Welcome to Xy-2, where nothing ever happens" (More extensive write up in Corellian Book) Like many young people on the planet, he found his home world boring and sought to explore the galaxy, though his middle-class parents insisted he attend university instead. Before his first classes started, he ran away with his first year's tuition. Unlike some who run off, he does see the virtue in his home world's culture, but also believes that it's peace should be shared with the Galaxy.
  • Xy-2 has seen increasing rebellion activity, the destruction of Alderaan, followed by the planetary bombardment & mass extinction on nearby Froz the public has shown anti-Imperial sentiments, while the government has publicly remained loyal and started talking to the rebellion in secret.
  • By luck or fate, while running away to join the Rebellion he crossed paths with a group of rebels on planet to foster it's anti-Imperial leanings and meet with Xy-2's leadership. The commander recognized his force sensitivity, and since he was already looking for a way to join the rebels, was allowed to go with them. They returned to Hoth, where he underwent military and medical training up until The Battle of Hoth.
  • His commanding officer did not make it out of Echo Base, and never told him that he allowed him to come along because he sensed his force potential. Whether he told anyone else is up to the ST.
  • After Hoth he stayed with the main rebel fleet, though was mainly a medical officer even though he wanted a more active combat role.
