STRENGTHS

• Not what he seems: Sedge comes across as a perfectly unassuming experienced spacer. Good with his hands and intuition, a genuinely useful person to have on any ship, but not necessarily too smart or useful for anything particularly complex. The truth is that Sedge is a lethal killer who is far more clever than he seems. None of the way he acts is purely deception, he is a proper spacer after all. This deception is so complete he can even fool basic mind-touching force techniques.
• Spacer's Intuition: Sedge has spent most of his life in space, and despite an almost total lack of formal education is generally knowledgeable about the workings of your average spaceship. He can pilot, work on an engine, run a simple weapon system, and so on all with general competence.
• Combat Training: The details are sketchy, but Sedge absolutely was part of a military unit in his past. He doesn't show it often, but he is very familiar with military tactics, and is a very good shot. Generally speaking, if he has to use his military training then things have already gone tits up.
• Bartending: Somewhere along the line Sedge picked up some bartending skills. He can mix quite a few drinks, mostly simple ones, but they come out good and quick and he's familiar with most types of alcohol you can find in your average trade hub. Not the most useful skill in the world, but not the least either.
• Unflappable: Nothing seems to phase him. Maybe it's cause he's slow, maybe it's not. Maybe it's because he's seen things that would make your blood turn cold to even think about. Maybe it's not.

WEAKNESSES

• A bit slow: Part of the reason Sedge is able to fool basic mind-touching force abilities is that he's legitimately not the smartest guy around. Clever and quick on your feet is one thing, Sedge simply has no real formal education (he's barely literate) and has no real use for intellectual thoughts and the like.
• Conflicted Morality: Sedge has some deeply held convictions on what is right and what is wrong in the world, which as one might expect can clash a bit with the fact that he's effectively a hitman and enforcer. This isn't based on any religious notions, but mostly on how one treats others. As a general rule, Sedge hates people who use power and strength to bully others. It doesn't really occur to him that for an outsider, he's basically what he despises, but he does believe that he's more or less cursed in his life.

APPEARANCE:
If there were single word to describe Sedge, it would have to be 'unassuming.' At a glance he's just about the most average looking guy around, and is incredibly easy to miss in a crowd. He's relatively good looking in a sort of plain way, and usually sports a thin beard and short hair. He can usually be seen wearing a bomber jacket (it gets cold on most tramp freighters) and otherwise unassuming clothes, though is that a armor vest under his shirt? Nah, probably not.

BIOGRAPHY:
If you ask him, there's not much to tell about Sedge's past. But if you don't ask him, and you stick around and listen than occasionally he'll talk about bits and pieces of the past. Born on Axxila, and as soon as he could lift heavy boxes he was on a ship out of there, working as a extra hand to move cargo. Feel into the 'runner' trade then, as smugglers are always looking for someone who can keep their mouth shut and are good with their hands. Keep him going, and he'll mention he did some time in the military, though he doesn't say which one. On another day he might talk about how he worked for a crime syndicate on Axxila, and if by now you're getting the impression that maybe none of what he says is true and maybe it all is, then you're getting as much info of the background of a man called 'Sedge' as there is.

But it's clear he's familiar with work on a ship, and knows the odds and outs of basic electronic repair work, engines, weaponry, etc. It's equally clear that he knows the smuggler's trade, and the has a great deal of familiarity with the workings of criminal organizations. And maybe, if you're particularly perceptive, you'll notice that the way he walks and the way he watches others and the way he carries himself, that he is no stranger to violence.

Sure maybe you've heard rumors that in the darker parts of the business there's a call for people like him to handle things that most folks would balk at. It all seems kind of crazy, you do a run with him and all you see is an easy-going, generally relaxed, little bit simple, experienced spacer who's handy with a drink.

And if you ask him about any of that, well, he's just here to move cargo.
