BIOGRAPHY:
Owen is the son of Thomas and Arabella Kincaid. The Kincaid family had a moderately successful settlement on the fields of Dantooine where Owen spent the better part of his early childhood. These fields were where his free spirit was forged. His mother used to say, “You’re more kinrath than Kincaid,” as she scrubbed him down during bath time. Often, she was regularly met with a rebuttal of, “No! I’m a kath hound!” as Owen broke free from her grip and ran around the settlement naked as a jaybird. His ventures most certainly included the growling and howling in perfect imitation of the kath hounds from the Dantooine grasslands. A skill he retains to this day. However, not long after his sixth birthday Owen’s life changed dramatically.
One day, as fortune (or misfortune- depending on how you looked at it) would have it, Owen’s curious nature brought him to a private spaceport of one of the neighboring families. Owen often recalled that day and what came after in near-perfect recollection....
Following his nose, just like a kath, he crept through the docking bay until his eyes fell upon the coolest looking ship he’d ever seen. It’s worth mentioning that it was also the first (and only) ship he’d ever seen before, one that flew through space anyway…something that he too very much wanted to do. Thinking he would be back in time for dinner, Owen snuck aboard the freighter's cargo hold and after a time the ship lurched up and out of the bay. The young Kincaid’s eyes lit up and he squealed with excitement in unison with the roar of the ship’s engines.
The pilot of the ship was called Loren Yarta and she didn’t find little Owen until about two days after his boarding. The spaceflight and breech into hyperspace gave Owen an extreme feeling of drowsiness and the boy crawled into a small compartment he found filled with canvas material and some other salty smelling substance (which would turn out to be Slick (link to wiki). There he would sleep for nearly two days.
Rubbing his eyes with grease-covered fingers upon waking, Owen stumbled up to the cockpit. “Is there anything to eat?” he asked. His abrupt appearance and voice in the silent ship caused Loren to almost jump completely out of her seat. “What the hell?!” she screamed. “Who are-“ but, before she finished Owen, himself, let out an uproar of his own. Through the flight window he could see the towering buildings and bright lights of Coronet City beginning to take shape. He was absolutely bewildered. Owen couldn’t believe what he was seeing. “What part of Garang is this?” he shouted. He jumped into the empty chair next to Loren and with wide eyes and the biggest smile, he fell in love. Somehow in a soothing and surprisingly calm voice Loren responded, “Kid, we’re not on Dantooine anymore.”
“Don’t tell my mom,” he said after an excited gasp.
That was the beginning of Owen’s new life. He would never return to Dantooine, not for many, many years. From Yarta’s adoption he would learn the trade of smuggling and how to pilot a starship.
He never lost his free spirit and it was such nature that often led him and those with him into trouble.
