APPEARANCE
Crux is a rather average fellow to look at. His tall lean build is usually augmented by his trusty pair of boots that give him a few extra centimetres. His brown, somewhat unkempt hair is always kept trimmed from getting too long; and his face will either be clean shaven or decorated with tasteful scruff. His piercing grey eyes are the feature that would stick the most in people's memory. He has no noteworthy tattoos or scars.
STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES
+ Smuggler's Luck
While Crux began his life as a farm boy, he was too young to become Cornfed Cleetus. When his life took a turn for the worse, exposure to the underworld had its advantages. Once he was old enough to go out on his own, he had that certain je ne sais pas that has been handed down from smuggler to smuggler since Han Solo's time. By charm or luck, Crux can end up in the worst possible situations, yet somehow manage a good outcome; or at least not die.
+ Shatterpoint
Crux was one of the lucky few to get this gift of a power hidden in his repertoire. Its strength is relative to his strength as a Force User, but nevertheless it is there. Waiting.
- You Can't Trust Droids
Even though Crux's parents growing up weren't his genetic birthgivers, more than blood makes a parent. The critical event of Denko's childhood, where his family was slaughtered by droids during the Clockwork Rebellion, left him with a bitter hatred of droids that may never be reconciled.
- Pass the Tissues
Crux has the unfortunate tendency to hold onto colds and diseases longer than the average person. This is a result of his relation to Josiah, and the subsequent Kraljica genetics thereof.
BIOGRAPHY
Crux's story truly begins on a dark and rainy Nar Shaddaa night. A man named Josiah Denko and a woman said to be connected somehow to the Gyndar family shared one passionate night together. From the afterglow of that encounter came a small child whose father had disappeared and whose mother could not take care of. As such, she delivered the babe to a quiet farm on Dantooine. Kind, hardworking people who would take care of the boy as if he were their own.
The young boy, by then named Jules of the Crux family, was raised with basic values and a hard work ethic. When he came of age to take up more responsibilities around the farm, Crux grew to know the many droids that worked the farm. He befriended many of them and was beginning to learn their different languages. Unfortunately, this stage of his life was in perfect timing with the Clockwork Rebellion. While the boy tended the family's livestock, the droids rebelled against their organic masters. He witnessed his family murdered by droids and his mother screaming for him to run before she drowned in her own blood. He ran as fast and as far as he could until a group of people picked him up with reassurance. They told young Crux they would take care of him and make sure he would be safe; little did he know that they were scavengers and slavers.
After a time keeping him with them, the outlaws finally sold the boy to a high bigger: a Hutt Lord named Tekka. This Hutt was particularly interested in the small scrawny frame of Crux, because he could crawl into and clean places only expensive specialty droids could go. The underworld was a hive of villainy no small child should ever be exposed to. Sex, spice, death, all of those things were his new life; he shied away from it at first but soon began to thrive in the hostile environment. When he was too old to work underneath things Tekka assigned him to become a swoop racer. It was a career where he either succeeded or died; he took to it like he was born to it. Money, speed, and recognition brought him a sense of freedom that he breathed in like fresh Dantooine air.
Crux accumulated his winnings over time. He did not want the illusion of freedom; he wanted to truly be free. By either buying himself or smuggling himself out he planned his escape. Everything he had carefully placed skewed when, for no apparent reason, the entire operation of Tekka the Hutt was simply gone. No Hutt, no smugglers, no bounty hunters. A few servants, but the rest had vanished. It like a wish come true. It took little time for Crux to steal the prized YT-1300 Tekka the Hutt had owned, with a few treasures and trinkets, and make off with his money, a new ship, and a new life. He settled for awhile on the moon of Alakatha from the K'vath system. It was a frequent tourist trip with a popular swoop track.
He sold off those treasures and used that money to make himself. Gear and his own swoop were the top of his list, and when it was all said and done he was ready for the Galaxy. Crux lived a breezy life between racing, smuggling, and betting but as he took on more treasure hunting and adventures, he was finding himself called in another way. His passion for the space lanes never faded, but he felt something deeper pulling at him. As he traveled across the stars finding little crystals that he kept simply as trinkets, everything began to change...
