Logan as some women would agree is quite handsome, though others insist that he simply looks like a massive tool. Mr. Valde is tall, thin, and rather lanky, not overly muscular but clearly has done more than his share of cardio. His hair is short and unkempt, strikingly blonde with a small goatee decorating his chin. His eyes were stark ice blue and the expression on his face nearly always appeared as though he were up to no good, which coincidentally was usually true.
For his clothes Logan usually wore a heavy leather jacket lined with armorweave, a simple shirt underneath and a small portable computer on his wrist. All in all, Logan looks like a completely ordinary young man.
Logan has the personality that some might call...abrasive. Though not outwardly harsh or cruel in any manner at all Logan has a way of off putting people he just met. Mostly this is due to his massive ego. Because of his narcissistic tendencies in thinking of himself as the greatest thing since the invention of the lightsaber most people tend to not like Logan for one reason or another. This however is counter balanced as when one really gets to know him...Oh wait no, he's still a douche.
To his very core Logan is a narcissistic, believing himself to be the best slicer in the galaxy with nobody able to match his skills. Along with this he is somewhat of a coward, a trickster, and all around mischievous. Logan does not take anything or anyone seriously, something that more often than not gets him into serious trouble.
Even in the most serious of situations, Logan most often jokes around and finds the humor in life, even when facing death.
[+]Cyber Brain: Like the rest of his species Logan's brain has been replaced with a cybernetic version. This makes his mind a near super computer. His brain functions beyond the level of what any human mind could comprehend. This means that Logan's intelligence is almost on another level from ordinary beings and is obviously a huge advantage. His thoughts outpace themselves, often leading to boredom and mischief on his part, much like the rest of his species. Unlike most Yaka however Logan's face is capable of expression, though 90% of the time it was stuck in a smirk.
[+]Slicing: Due to his cybernetic brain and years of practice Logan is an expert slicer. Through his increased intelligence and his personally built computer Logan is able to slice into most modern day computer systems, rivaling even some AI's in his ability to play games once past certain subroutines. Though this again is mostly due to his own increased brain function, and his ability to keep up with machines.
[+]Pilot: Logan although not a fighter Ace or an expert pilot does have some skill in flying a ship. Given that his original way of getting off of his homeworld was posing as a pilot for a smuggler, Logan learned how to fly a ship rather quickly...some might even say...on the fly. Since then his skill in piloting has only improved, and due to his cybernetic brain and increased reaction speed Logan is more than a match for most normal pilots.
[-]Coward: At the core of Logan sits two personality traits. Narcissism and Cowardice. Though some might argue that the two conflict, Logan would disagree. Logan considers himself to be one of the greatest Slicers in the galaxy, and he probably is. However when faced with conflict or violence or anything of the sort Logan has a tendency to run away from conflict. Only when he is threatened or truly pressed will Logan actually stand and fight, and even then, more often than not Logan will fight dirty.
[-]Combat: Though he is a decent enough shot, Logan is by no means a proper combatant. Logan is not trained in hand to hand fighting, he does not know how to use a sword or a knife, and he most definitely has no understanding of Lightsaber combat. When faced with Soldiers, Logan is clueless, when faced with assassins, Logan is panicky, when faced with Jedi or Sith, Logan is simply no where to be found.
[-]EMP: Elthough an EMP will not kill him, due to his cybernetic brain an electro magnetic pulse will do some very serious harm to him, shutting down the uninsulated parts of his mind and wreaking havoc on his nervous system. An EMP depending on its strength will cause Logan to become sluggish and slow, and or paralyze him completely for up to ten minutes until his brain is effectively able to “reboot” itself.
Logan's life is a direct result of his own narcissism and tendency to gamble away what little assets he has.
Like all Yaka Logan was born on his homeworld as a normal human off-shoot. At a very young age his normal squishy brain was replaced with a nice robot one. It is theorized by his parents that when Logans Cyber Brain was implanted in him it was somehow damaged, thus leading to his very self centered personality, though this may have been idle joking.
From a young age Logan showed an incredible aptitude for computers and slicing, somehow better connecting to most computer systems and working with them far more fluidly than even other Yaka. This unique set of skills meant that Logan was often in trouble with the law. He would hack his schools compute system, traffic cameras, and even the holo-net itself just to see if he could, to him it was all an amusing game to see just how good he was. One day however Logan went too far, and decided that the ultimate challenge was to hack the Yaka's National Defense Grid.
The Young lad somehow managed to succeed in his endeavor, which was for some strange reason rather frowned upon.
When the police came looking for him due to breaking into the national defense grid, Logan instead of facing the consequences decided that it would be better to disappear. As a final act as Logan Valde he hacked into the national records database and erased all information on himself, essentially making it so Logan Valde was never even born. News of this quickly spread, and in the Slicer community Logan quickly became known as “Blink”.
For Blink, there was really only one option, leaving his homeworld.
This endeavor proved to be harder than he thought. While his skills in slicing and compute manipulation were top notch, neither of these things really helped one in the acquisition of a starship, much less learning how to pilot and control one or paying for its maintenance. Knowing this, Blink created himself a falsified passport, stealing the identity of a man with similar age whose profession just happened to be...a pilot. Taking on this identity to the core Logan ventured to the nearby starport and acquire himself a job with a rather shady starship Captain.
The captain as it turned out ran a smuggling ship.
It was on this vessel that Logan learned how to pilot. Downloading information on ships, flight, and physics into his personal computer and quickly studying them Logan somehow managed to passably fly the ship off of the Yaka system.
The ship with Logan at the helm, quickly headed towards Nar Shaddaa. This was ideal, because as soon as the ship landed, The Slicer known as Blink made a break for it, ditching out on his contract and disappearing into the under belly of the smugglers moon.
The next few years of life was very enjoyable for Logan. He gambled, he drank, and he plied his craft all over Nar Shaddaa, becoming somewhat infamous under his moniker of “Blink”. It all was running smoothly until one day, Logan's mouth wrote a check his body couldn't cash. He promised a member of the Black Sun the entry codes to a Republic Star Destroyer stationed above Nar Shaddaa, thinking that he could easily hack the system without a problem.
As it turned out...he was wrong.
It took him only a few days to realize that he had in fact been mistaken. Worryingly however he had already spent the Crime Lords advanced payment, nearly 100,000 credits. Realizing the poodoostorm that was about to fall upon him, Logan began to scramble for a quick way to earn the money in order to repay the Crime Lord...and hopefully not die.
