Appearance
Wiry and athletic, Dodge cuts a slim figure but isn't too lacking in strength. After all, the Kathol Outback doesn't produce weak men. His mop of dirty blond hair messily curls out, though he often prefers to keep his hair short during the summer. When it's warm, his skin sports a shade of gold, but is generally of a fairer complexion. His current situation doesn't lend itself much to filling out a respectable wardrobe, so he makes use of what he has.
Biography
Dodge was born on the planet Kal'Shebbol, in the Kathol Outback of the Outer Rim Territories. Both his parents were descended from Corellian settlers, who had come to the planet hundreds of years before but had established "Free state" colonies which eventually grew into agro-urban cities. In the summer, Dodge would help his family tend land, a long-held tradition of that region. Though most of the profitable agricultural work was done by droids, physical work was considered the pathway to manhood in Free State culture. For this reason, Dodge was an adept mechanic and had developed a hardy work ethic and both mental and physical toughness that escaped most city-dwellers of the Core planets.
In all reality, however, Dodge and the rest of the Free State population lived in cities. Owing to a relative lack of any kind of government oversight, these cities were notable for things like pod racing, droid combat, and gambling dens. This sort of "entrepreneurial" attitude of the purest form had made the colonies fairly rich; this combined with their desire to isolate themselves from the rest of the planet's inhabitants would eventually lead to their ruin. When war broke out, the Kal'Shebbol Defense Force abandoned the colonies and the Free states duly fell. Left without land or a home, Dodge and his family wander the galaxy as refugees, looking for work.
Character
Dodge has a compelling drive to understand the way things works. He tinkers, he disassembles, and then reassembles (though it doesn't always turn back on when he's done with it). His keenness for Mechanical knowledge led him to network and computing, though it's always just been a simple hobby.
An introvert, his passion for knowledge is shown in the fact that his personal datapad is filled with books and rarely out of reach. Of course, he is also noted as an exceptional athlete and his desire for learning leads to an intense interest in things like athletic science, anatomy, and general self-improvement. He understands that the key to a sharp mind is a sharp body. He has an exceptional memory, and absorbs information like a sponge water.
Dodge is action-oriented. He doesn't listen, and his devil-may-care attitude can lead to trouble. "Don't worry," he always says-- his ability to think on his feet usually saves him from too great of harm. He is prone to spontaneity but rarely has a detailed plan.
Optimistic, cheerful, and most of all loyal, Dodge is a great friend to those who have the patience to get to know him.
