Name: Dan Peterson
Loyalties: Peterson and Peterson Legal Consulting
Role: Senior Legal Partner / Lawyer
Development Threads: NA
Planet of Birth: Taris
Age: 58
Species: Human
Force-Sensitive: No

Appearance:
An aging human with salt and pepper hair, and the general mannerisms and appearance of a man who has done terrible things in his past.

Personality:
Dan Peterson is a stern man who still remembers his military baring and honor. While his years as the captain of a merchant ship has done a great deal to temper the mannerisms of a Naval Officer to the civilian world, his friends and coworkers still refer to him as 'The Admiral' for a reason. Despite it all, he is a kind and loving father and always manages to put family first whenever doing so would not jeopardize his professional life.

History:
Dan Peterson is a retired naval captain of 12 years that owned his own shipping company for a further eight. Turning his knowledge of Maritime law and naval practices to more profitable use, Dan Peterson was able to graduate law school and pass the Bar in under three years. Only five short years later, Dan Peterson found himself as senior partner in a maritime law firm based on the planet of his birth. It would be ten years before he changed jobs again. Wanting to work with and keep an eye on his young son, Dan Peterson accepted a job opportunity at Hyperion Security as their chief Maritime advisor. In short order, he found himself assuming a senior partner position once again.

Appearance:
Thick, wavy brown hair, bright blue eyes, and a pretty face have gotten Mike Peterson far in life. But following in his father's footsteps has gotten him farther.

Personality:
Mike Peterson is a charismatic, driven man that had achieved much in his short life. He is one of the youngest senior partners his planet's legal community has ever seen and specializes in a field that allows his competitive streak to lash out at some of the biggest establishments in the galaxy. Mike's father has often commented that nothing gives him more pride than seeing his son in action in a courtroom, waging a war with words like he once waged with ships.

For someone still so young, I think having so many areas of expertise is perhaps excessive.

However, since lawyering is a fairly niche RPing area I think it's not game breaking. Also, he's partnered with a more senior member, which compensates nicely.

However, if this somehow gets reported as misused in an RP it will be dragged out once more.

Approved.
