Born on Zeltros to a successful couple, Dak was second to their careers. With the plethora of distractions and entertainments available on his homeworld, he enjoyed a very hedonistic lifestyle. As a teenager, Dak possessed a gifted aptitude for mechanics, and was hired to work on high-end speeders and air cars, only taking jobs from wealthy clients. He became an adrenaline junking, racing vehicles of every kind. While he kept his grades high, and didn't get in trouble with the law, his parents were happy. It was, afterall, Zeltros.
As he reached early adulthood, Dak had had his fill of thrills on the ground, and looked up to the stars. He managed to buy a partially stripped racing starfighter that he customized and began running the racing circuit. His unusually sharp instincts in piloting vehicles now made him a successful racer.
Dak lived the high-life, becoming a local celebrity, and then galazy-wide, the life of the party as he won race after race. But all that came to a screeching halt when one race changed his life. He and a buddy he had made on the circuit entered a New Year celebration race. All was going well for the both of them, until something in Dak's thrusters malfunctioned, flinging his ship out of control, until it careened into his friend's racer. While Dak was able to regain control of his damaged ship, his friend's ship had disintegrated.
After that, after not only losing his friend to an accident, but causing it himself, Dak was different. The adrenaline rush, the celebrity status and carefreel life seemed empty. Eventually, in a desperate desire to find personal redemption, Dak signed up as a fighter pilot for the Foundation. After a short-lived military career, Dak pursued a career as a scout and similar special jobs. He modified his ships and made a new name for himself.

Dak's stature is not unusual, though his frame is quite physically fit. His skin is light crimson, while his hair seems to shift depending on the light from almost black to blue, and seems to defy taming. His gaze is hazel, softer than the hues of his skin and hair. He wears a small charm around his neck given to him by the sister of his friend who was killed while racing.

Vehicle/starship mechanicsNOTABLE SKILLS
Piloting vehicles/starships
Exploration (space and terrestrial)
Basic sciences
Caf Connoisseur
Strengths:
Crack Pilot: Dak has a natural gift for piloting spacecraft and vehicles. With excellent eye-hand coordination, trigger reflexes and the mental abilities in spacial awareness, calculations and quick decision-making, he excelled as a professional starfigher racer.
Mechanical Whiz: Equally talented in the various systems within spacecraft and vehicles, Dak can troubleshoot the most difficult problem and come up with a repair, even if unorthodox.
No Shortage of Cash: Dak's professional racing career was very lucrative, and he still recieves income for endorsements.
Celebrity: Dak's status as a former starship racing champion can come in handy if he is recognized.
Weaknesses:
Guilt-Ridden: Beneath his gregarious behavior, Dak still sees himself as the cause of his friend's death. He feels a need for penance, something that will satisfy his guilt, but has not yet found what it is. There is always a risk for a debilitating flashback to that day that could undermine his activity.
Celebrity: Celebrity has its downfalls as well, like when you don't want to be recognized. Or when you are faced with temptation.
