Radar Spectros

"Professor, perhaps this is going a bit too far?"

- Radar to Kaffman, as they debate whether they should air-raid the Jedi Temple because of the need to unlock a Sith Holocron

Radar Spectros was a scientist and engineer working for the University of Corellia before he became one of the founding members of the 1337 N00B5. Radar was privileged with possession of several Eta-2 prototype starfighters prior to their mainstream usage by the Jedi during the Clone Wars, due mostly to his father working as an engineer for Kuat Systems Engineering. It was this collection of starfighters that served as the primary weapon of the group that would become the 1337 N00B5 in its early days. Radar would serve as a technical engineer and leader of the research and technology departments of the 1337 N00B5 through the years, and was credited throughout the existence of the organization as the best fighter pilot in the faction. He was the best friend of Kaffman.

Early life
Radar Spectros was born and raised on Corellia. His father, who worked in orbit over Kuat, was often absent from the home. His father's absence allowed Radar to fill in the blanks about his character and career with his imagination, so in the occasions of the father's visits and holo-chats, the father would often be pleased by Radar's idolizing depiction of his parent. Radar, eager to please his distant father, worked hard to study engineering, the occupation of his father. His father would often encourage him be sending him gadgets, tools, and trinkets, which Radar would voraciously take apart, reassemble, and modify. At the age of ten, his father taught him to pilot a prototype starfighter under development by Kuat Systems Engineering in a simulator. Radar's skill as a pilot was jump-started by his experience with engineering miniature planes, as he already knew he capabilities and limitations of starfighters.

Personality and traits
Though less outspoken than Kaffman, Radar was more pragmatic than his friend, who was more idealistic and principled. It was often Radar who would come up with out-of-the-box ideas, and Kaffman who would ratify them. Radar had a slight tendency to crack an occasional joke, though he knew when to be sober.

Powers and abilities
Radar was considered a technical genius and the best fighter pilot among the 1337 N00B5. Radar's childhood and academic life had trained him in engineering and science, which were well-utilized during his career in piracy.

Behind the scenes
Radar's first name was indirectly taken from the old television show M*A*S*H, which had a character nicknamed Radar. A corporal in a medical unit, the M*A*S*H Radar was naive, but manipulative of the colonel, often getting him to sign documents with misleading descriptions. Radar was also known for his ability to anticipate things other people would say and carry out orders right before they're given. Though the Avian Hunt character originally inherited only the name from this character, he eventually evolved to be able to anticipate Grmek's orders in a more believable fashion than what is depicted in M*A*S*H, and becomes known for using the bureaucracy to break the rules and get away with it as the 1337 N00B5 grow.
