Breino Vorn

"Dere's two t'ings I, eh, like ta most in ta galaxy: womens an', eh, credits."

- Breino Vorn.

Breino Vorn was a Rodian smuggler. Viewed as little more than a nuisance and petty criminal, Breino eked out a living primarily along the Outer Rim and in Hutt Space, smuggling and trafficking illegal goods and slaves for whoever paid the highest. Mainly a vagabond, Breino lived, along with two cohorts, in his ship, the Flipdarter, a battered Wayfarer-class medium transport.

During the Galactic Civil War, Breino smuggled weapons and technology to the Rebel Alliance but refused to join out of "self interest". Over the course of the conflict, he had close contact with the Rebellion, smuggling often for them, as well as the Galactic Empire, as he occasionally sold information on rebel movements and plans. With the rise of the New Republic, Breino was "hired" as one of the many smugglers the fledgling government sought for supplies. Just like before, however, Breino refused long-term partnerships until he joined the Smuggler's Alliance.

When the Yuuzhan Vong swept across the galaxy, Breino joined the Smuggler's Alliance in aiding the New Republic; he flew at the Battle of Ebaq 9, as well as offering additional aid by flying supplies, troops and even Jedi to battle zones.

At the close of the war, Breino continued his work as a smuggler and criminal, despite his service to the New Republic, however reluctant.

Personality
"Such'a shame when, eh, ya come to'a cantina an' ta, eh, drinks taste like bantha piss."

- Breino complaining about booze.

Breino was cheery, friendly and jovial. Very talkative, Breino was at ease around strangers and it took very little for him to get started talking. He liked to joke and goof around, making light of nearly every situation and refusing to take things, especially himself, too seriously. He often gave the impression of a childish, goofy and free-spirited sort. Gregarious to the bone, Breino preferred to talk his way out of situations, although he was keen on shooting first and asking questions later.

He strongly disliked authority, perhaps a trait from his criminal lifestyle where authority meant seizure of goods and imprisonment. As such, he was not a stabilizing element when it comes to group operations, as he preferred to do things his own way. His disregard for authority made him irreverent towards others, be they superiors or dignitaries. Coupled with this, Breino was also somewhat cowardly, as he preferred to weasel his way out of dangerous situations, either by smooth talking or betrayal. Understandingly, this caused many to call him spineless and unworthy of trust. Breino, however, didn't care: all he cared about was making a profit.

Breino's Basic was marked by a heavy accent, which could make him difficult to understand. He often attempted to woo females using corny and cheesy pick-up lines, to little success. He loved to drink, smoke and gamble. He especially liked to complain if his liquor wasn't good, going so far as to claim that they tasted like "piss" or "poodoo". He enjoyed smoking havao tabacc cigarras and drinking namana liquor the most. He was also fond of Corellian spiced ale and Ithorian Mist. An avid gambler, Breino loved to play sabacc.

Ironically, Breino refused to touch spice, despite having no qualms about selling it.

Skills and Abilities
"Ya don't s'vive long on ta, eh, 'Rim if ya don't pick up a few skills."

- Breino Vorn.

While he wasn't Force-sensitive, Breino nonetheless had a handful of skills he could rely on. Life as a smuggler was difficult and oftentimes dangerous, and as such, Breino has taken means to ensure his safety. First and foremost, he was a capable pilot, being able to safely pilot different starships such as starfighters and freighters. His own ship, the Flipdarter, was a fairly large and bulky ship that he piloted with ease. A reliable mechanic, Breino was able to keep his ship in top shape, as well as repair damage and make modifications. Severe damage, however, needed professional work. Although he wasn't a slicer, Breino could work his way around basic systems, as well as recognize different encryptions.

Breino knew how to wield blasters, although he preferred the pistol variant. His weapon of choice was the Model 434, aka the "DeathHammer". Although he rarely used it, Breino was fond of the 9118 heavy carbine for more serious combat scenarios. He had a Repulsor Throwing Razor on him at all times, but he used it more as an intimidation tool and melee weapon. He knew a little hand-to-hand combat, but never received any advanced or formal instruction. His techniques were mostly akin to bar brawling or street fighting.

According to Breino himself, his main benefit is a sly wit and silver tongue. A quick learner, keen analyst and rough underworld charm made Breino a natural schmoozer and socialite. Some claimed he was very persuasive and suave, capable of talking his way out of danger. He knew how to "work the angles" when it came to people, although there were many times where his silver tongue failed him.

Breino could pilot landspeeders and airspeeders.
