---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
STRENGTHS:
Charismatic – Charming to most, either from attraction or his grandfatherly presence, Ardent can talk himself in or out of any situation
Ace Shot – Equipped with his trusty double-rifle, Rourkewehr can easily pick off targets at 300 yards with nothing but iron sights
Bold – “Fortune favours the bold” is something you might here Rourkewehr say, and he leads in such a way, not afraid to put his life on the line for those in need
AND WEAKNESSES:
Old – While he is still able to impress in a 1-on-1 fight, his age catches up to him in endurance and he isn’t quite as agile as he was when he was younger
Audacious – Ardent’s past military experience has caused him to feel animosity and resentment towards authority, and feels like he has to be in charge
Stubborn – In addition to his problems with authority and taking orders, he is also very set in his ways and opinions, and it takes an absurdly strong argument to sway his thinking
APPEARANCE:
Ardent is an elderly, but sturdy man who doesn’t look quite as able as he actually is. He sports a trimmed beard and moustache, all white from aging except for his moustache which still retains some of its black colour. His furrowed brow is accented by his thick, dark eyebrows which easily convey his expressions.
His attire usually consists of his typical adventuring gear…a light, loose fitting shirt and beige trousers, and a drab bandana, all worn under a thick, brown trench coat. While he normally prefers taking his double-rifle, he also has bandolier/webbing so he is able to take ammo for his compact blaster rifle.
BIOGRAPHY:
Ardent Rourkewehr is a man of many talents and many adventures. He was born on Corellia and had a seemingly normal childhood. His father taught him at a young age how to use a proper rifle, which allowed him to grow extremely proficient in marksmanship and hunting. Ardent’s early life would set up his main tenets to live by as he grew older. He was raised to be caring, and to fight for those without the strength to do so themselves. Rourkewehr also took after his father, though, in his stubbornness and disregard of authority. It wasn’t until he left his homeworld of Corellia that Ardent would have to deal with the consequences of these traits.
His talents wound him up being drafted into military service, where he struggled with the chain of command…this would begin Rourkewehr’s on and off military career through a good deal of his life. He served to his best ability, being drafted and volunteered, and always eventually discharged from many different military forces. He aged well through it, however, and gained many skills that helped lend him an edge whenever he found himself on adventures rather than soldiering. Ardent gained most of his hand-to-hand training and experience while in service, and also learned how to pilot transports and basic fighters. Nothing he trained for during his service could compare to his proficiency with a rifle though…easily acing marksman courses and often finding himself in appropriate divisions for his talents.
In the end, his general disregard of orders finally found himself discharged for seemingly the final time. It was unfortunate for him though, as by the time he returned home, both of his parents had already passed away and his uncle was the only family he had left. He found himself discontent with life, and attempted to start a family during his exploits around the galaxy. Rourkewehr went through two marriages, each time widowed, and also would say goodbye to his only daughter who went missing and presumed dead. It was during this time that he began to lose enjoyment of his travels and hunting in particular. It went from a treasured passion, to a way to get by in life. By the time he was 60, he was about to give up on life.
Fate would not have Rourkewehr give up so easily though, and he soon found himself drafted once more…this time into the First Order. Coming upon him by chance and recognizing his impressive and varied past service across the galaxy, the First Order thought they could break his disobedience and gain a valuable ally. The thought of being a pawn in some overlord’s scheme didn’t sit well with Rourkewehr, but he played their game. Over 9 years of service under the First Order, he climbed the ranks, moving from special operations into officer-training. Ardent gained power, recognition, and wealth, which had just began to cloud his mind...though he maintained his resolve and always turned down assignments which threatened the innocent. Coming upon his tenth year though, Rourkewehr was finally given a way out, and took it without hesitation…he was officially discharged for his last and final time. His leaving of the Order holds mixed feelings from those within it; some view him in high regard for the man that he was, while others judge him for never truly being loyal to the Order in the first place.

At first, Ardent thought of retiring from everything and finding a quiet world to live the rest of his life in peace…but his passions called out too strongly to him, and once more he donned his adventure gear in search of a fitting end to his story.EQUIPMENT:
