Strengths
Wary: Dain is a distrusting individual. A short series of burns in his early shadow career running guns swiftly taught him the value of suspicion. He hasn't burned all his bridges with the notion but he also can't foresee any circumstances in which he'd let anyone in. Thankfully this allows him to keep afloat, and makes him a prolific intelligence surveyor.
Hand-to-Hand Fighting: Dain is well experienced in various hand-to-hand fighting techniques and prefers vibroblades and pistols to augment his style.
Silver Tongue: Dain is a wordsmith with a quick wit that allows him to adapt socially well enough to avoid brute force much of the time. His observant mind gives him a keen edge in navigating conversation and allows him to eke out information from typically sharp minds.
Eavesdropper: Dain has been surveying intel for long enough to have developed a well trained ear for picking out bits in a crowd. His mind, sight, and hearing are sharpened from years of absorbing his surroundings from dark corners and from within mugs of ale. He can pick out a hooded figure in a crowd, the whine of a speeder in a loud neighborhood, and the cocking of a blaster from across a room. The specificity of this adaptation is limited to noise-filled environs as he can only contrast sounds within a certain range. While his hearing would no doubt improve in a quiet environment, it would improve no more than any other human's. His vision is similarly adapted to pick out details in crowded or visually intense landscapes, but is no sharper on average.
Tech-Savvy: Dain is skilled in slicing, data management / information brokerage and piloting. If it's powered, he's got experience using it. This knowledge ends with weapons, one reason he sticks to pistols and never repaired that broken lightsaber he carries about. He's a decent pilot, but his real skill is in atmospheric flying. In other words, he's better in a speeder than a starfighter.
Force Sensitive: Dain is Force Sensitive, but his training consists of experiences he's had over the years smuggling with a fringe group on Commenor that contains mostly Jedi rejects and Sith flunkies. He knows when someone's about to shoot him and can turn the blaster bolt with a slap of his hand in a pinch, but he won't always be fast enough and the bolt's still going to burn. Still, this is listed as a strength because of the potential it holds.
Understands Law Enforcement: Dain's spent long enough smuggling weapons, drugs and droids that he understands the basics of law enforcement operations, and the specifics of more than a handful of them in the Galaxy's largest population centers. This means he can predict the tactics and protocols of not just local dockyard police officers but investigative task forces and special units like Detectives or Jedi.
Weaknesses
Socially Isolated: While remaining distrustful of others can help Dain avoid a betrayal or foresee a backstabbing, this leaves him alone much of the time. As a result of needing no one to rely on, he unfortunately has no one to rely on. His pseudo employers, intelligence agents from multiple governments, will always be ready to cut him lose at a moment's notice. Were he ever to get caught up in a game he couldn't win, Dain would have no one to call upon. This makes isolation his key weakness.
Glass Cannon: Dain is Force Sensitive, but he's not well trained and he's built like the average human who's spent much of his adulthood in space. His bones break and his skin tears, like any other man. He cannot take the beatings of a Holovid action star, or even the average Jedi.
Human Heart: Dain is as much a glass cannon emotionally as he is physically. Like any other human, he couldn't turn away from a loved one being used to manipulate him, another reason why he avoids getting close. He's not immune to torture, and sheer tenacity and strength of will couldn't get him through his darkest days, just like any average man. Despite the currently neutral relations he has with his parents, they still are his parents, and Dain can very much learn that he's got plenty to lose in this life.
Appearance:
Dain is and average-looking human male that typically presents with task-appropriate apparel. Dain’s typical garb consists of fitted flight suits with jackets and equipment harnesses as appropriate to task and environment. He has a broad jawline covered with dark stubble and eyes that never cease searching.
Dain favors compact blaster pistols and vibroblades in combat, with an emphasis on hand-to-hand training. He does carry with him an inoperable lightsaber with unknown origins.
Biography:
Dain’s history is decidedly banal. His upbringing was typical of most Mid-Rim humans in capital cities. He has a cool relationship with his parents (the details of which he prefers not to explore), a middle class education in mechanical engineering, and a job history that ranges from local system shipping to weapon smuggling and data trafficking.
Dain currently serves as an off-record intelligence surveyor for the agencies within the governments of the Galactic and Commenor Systems Alliances.
