===Life in The Desert===
+
Christian Hall was born in the crime-ridden city of Zion on blazing Tatooine. His father was a fighter pilot in the New Republic, while his mother was a Stormtrooper. His parents had a bond which enabled them to work past both their obvious ideological differences and two rigid schedules which kept them mostly apart. A child, however, was not on the agenda for either of them and Christian was raised by his father's brother and his wife. While his parents, especially his father, visited when they could, their attention was mostly for each other. Because of this, though he knew his parents loved him, Christian always felt a little abandoned.
  
 +
His life with his aunt and uncle was very easy compared to what he could have had. Anything he needed materially could be supplied, while his schooling came in the form of educational droids. There was space set aside for his use in their home, and having parts of it closed off to him was a small price to pay. He fed his body by spending much of his free time in the desert exploring, and he fed his mind on legend and myth. In search of the affection his guardians never thought to offer him, he learned to supply his social needs by making friends with the slaves on his uncle's estate, all of which were non-human. He was not supposed to socialize with them, which he knew full well. Still, almost as soon as he could walk he began sneaking out to spend hours with them—mostly tinkering in the garage with old equipment. As he aged, he learned how to sneak them into his uncle's mansion on needed occasions. For the young boy this meant excitement and companionship. For the slaves it meant extra food and precious minutes in cooler air.
  
Christian was born on the blazingly hot planet Tatooine. Both of his parents were in the Empire. His father, David, was a five star fighter pilot, and his mother, Asori, a did some heavy weapons work with the Imperial Army.
+
One of those slaves appeared to be a human girl near Christian’s own age. When the estate acquired Kaida and her family, Christian questioned his uncle about it, and was only told that she was "one of them". Christian became good friends with her, and when he asked her about why she was out with the aliens when she was clearly human, she explained to him that she was Kiffar, and that was why she was a slave. Christian's young mind immediately realized that there was no difference between a Kiffar and a human, and yet because of where she was born, Kaida, and by extension others, was treated like an animal instead of a person. This sickened Christian and made him realize how useless race was as a separating factor.
They were away for months at a time so Christian was forced to live with his (on his dads side) Uncle Jonathan, Aunt Linda, and his cousin, Hector Hall who lived in the city Zion. They had a private tutor for him, so he could learn like a normal kid, but stay away from what his family considered, the "deadly lower" citizens of Zion.
 
  
His father, David, disappeared on a routine scouting mission when Christian was 13. The details were sketchy and no one is completely sure what happened. His Uncle and Aunt were "traders" who worked for the local crime lords. Christian was taught a lot about weapons (legal and illegal) by his Uncle, as this was his main trade.
+
Christian eventually noticed that his mother never stayed as long as his father did—a week at most—and that, when she did come, she avoided his guardians. In turn, his aunt and uncle seemed to despise her, and both during and after her visits they treated Christian even less tolerantly than usual. During those times he would go to the slave quarters for days at a time, but no one actually seemed to miss him.
His uncle said that as soon as Christian was old enough he would be on his own and that he would need to know how to handle any type of weapon, and do things that the normal backwater schools wouldn't teach you.
 
  
At age 15 Christian over heard his Aunt and Uncle arguing. Things had never really been good in his home, but lately they had been getting worse. He overheard one of them say something about being tired of watching over "the  hybrid". Later that night he couldn't sleep due to the argument he'd heard. He knew his relatives were talking about him. It couldn't be Hector, who he knew that was directly related to them. He had thought that both of his parents were just normal humans. But finally he figured that his mom had to have been something different. He later did some research on the races that could breed with humans and  narrowed it down to one race; Kiffar. This threw him for a loop. Kiffars where more of a subspecies of humans. There weren't enough differences to warrant any rational racism, if racism could ever be rational. The more he thought about it the more he realized that his family was mentally unbalanced. That explained some of the things Hector did, and the way that his Uncle and Aunt talked to and treated him all these years.
+
When he was thirteen, the visits from his father suddenly stopped. No one ever explained why. When he tried to ask his uncle about it, he was not given a real answer. This wasn't the first time his uncle and aunt had kept secrets from him. He hoped that his mother would fill in the blanks for him when next she came.
  
=== Trouble on the Dunes===
+
Christian knew deep down that something bad had happened, but with no one telling him anything he became quite bitter and defiant. He neglected his schooling, and rashly courted his uncle's displeasure by refusing to conceal the friendships he had made with aliens. His defiant streak was quickly ended when his uncle punished him by punishing his friends. He denied the estate’s slaves food and water until Christian fell in line. After that Christian mostly stayed in his rooms.
  
[[Category:Human]][[Category:Males]][[Category:Individuals]]
+
About a month later he received a surprise visit from Kaida, who reassured him that he was missed and that no one was bitter about about the trouble he had caused, like he had expected them to be. The fact that Kaida had risked getting into so much trouble, and that the slaves were willing to get into further trouble just to be around him shocked Christian. The contrast between his alien friends' kindness and his own uncle's cruelty was apparent. Christian happily, albeit quietly, resumed his friendships.
 +
 
 +
Then, one night, Christian awoke from a horrible dream sure that he would never see his mother again either. He was right. She too, disappeared, and he became obsessed with finding out the particulars of her disappearance. His guardians were just as unhelpful as they had been when he father disappeared, except, this time they actually seemed happy. Now with both his parents completely gone, their interest in his well-being completely plummeted, almost to the degree of resentment.
 +
 
 +
Christian fell into a depression, conscious as never before of his utter lack of power to protect anyone or anything that he cared about. He had ever increasing fights with his uncle, both over the treatment of the slaves and over the man's complete refusal to be open with him about anything. It was Kaida who told him to leave, to go find out what had befallen his parents. She directed him to Kiffex, which, she said, was his mother's homeworld. He tried to convince Kaida to come with him, but she opted to stay, as her family was on Tatooine. In turn, he swore that he would return and free all of his friends there.
 +
 
 +
He stole credits from his uncle's safe—a surprising amount of credits—and ran. Kaida's information led him to Thrath Clan. They knew nothing of what happened to his mother, but surprisingly, the Thrath took him in. Days turned to weeks that turned into months. Months spent stretching his wings, sparring for long hours with clanbrothers and learning as much lore as he could. He loved it, drank the acceptance they extended him like water, and under their care his spirit healed somewhat. But the young man knew that staying on Kiffex would get him nowhere near the truth about his parents or near his goal of freeing his friends.
 +
 
 +
Again he left, a little older now, and a little wiser, but still totally alone. Eventually, he landed a job with [[Turner Securities Limited]], which he felt would be a good place from where to not only earn his own living, but gather information and make contacts with both of his goals in mind.
 +
 
 +
 
 +
 
 +
==Awakening==
 +
In Year 11, Christian gave into an impulse. Something inside him commanded him to travel to Hutt Space. Unsure of what he was truly going there for, he gathered his belongings and made the trip to one of the galaxies most dangerous sectors in his BR-23.
 +
 
 +
Christian exited hyperspace in the Cyborrea system and immediately knew where his destination was. Well, he had a more specific idea. So he began moving. The closer he got to his destination, the stronger The Voice inside him became.
 +
He neared the planet that the system was named after. There were many ships in orbit, most of them looked to be quite lethal.
 +
As he drew near he was hailed by those lethal ships. He knew that saying the wrong thing would probably result in him being turned into dust. But he also knew The Voice inside him would guide his words and actions. And he was correct.
 +
 
 +
He was able to convince the sentry to set up a meeting with [[Diabolus`ut Persolvo]], though Christian had no idea why he wanted to meet with Persolvo, or how he knew the name. He did know that this man would be very dangerous.
 +
 
 +
Not very long after that, Christian found himself in chains on board Diabolus' personal ship. Christian dreadfully thought about how unnecessary the chains were. He was a talented combatant, whether he was unarmed or with a pistol. But there was an unshakable feeling that the alien standing before him was in an entirely different league.
 +
 
 +
Diabolus made it crystal clear that Christian's life was entirely in his hands, and the human felt that the statement was true.
 +
Christian did his very best to explain why he was here. As he talked his confidence began to fade. He listened for The Voice, hoping he would feel it's guidance. But there was none.
 +
 
 +
The silence after his explanation was truly horrifying. The wait after he was left alone, unsure of his fate, was even worse.
 +
Christian's memory of the next few hours are muddled.
 +
He does however remember his senses exploding. And everything began to make sense. Except for the knife Persolvo held to his throat.
 +
Diabolus explained The Force, and Christian's connection to it. He also explained that in return for removing Christian's mental blocks and unlocking his potiental, the human had to swear to never become a Jedi. That was a promise Christian made with ease. And he was sure that if he betrayed that promise, his death would not be quick.
 +
 
 +
Christian returned back to safety, confused, but eager for the chapter.
 +
 
 +
==Krieg's Run==
 +
Near the end of Year 12, and the beginning of Year 13, Christian found himself among the stars much more often than not. The man was by no means new to flying. His reflexes allowed him to fly as quickly as his ship could go. But that was the extent of his "exceptional" piloting skills. And though the ships he flew had more guns than engines, these facts did not stop Christian's delusion of being an ace pilot. So with the encouragement of his brother he entered the [[Krieg's Run Racing]].
 +
 
 +
He was able to convince his friends in [[Murishani Unubunko]] to lend him their fastest ship, YT-1760, <i>Endless Wastes</i>.
 +
 
 +
So on Year 13 Day 46, Christian sat in the cockpit of the <i>Endless Wastes</i> ready to go. The young man was very confident in his skills, his ship, and the route he had meticulously plotted out.
 +
 
 +
He took off with the other ships, and kept up with them very well. It wasn't until after the second hyper jump that Christian realized he was falling behind. The reports from the other pilots were coming in much faster than his. While in hyperspace he went over his planned route, again and again. When he was in realspace, he did his best to get to the checkpoints as quickly as possible.  No matter what he did though, he continued to fall behind. Half way through the race, Christian realized that somehow he had miscalculated his path, and that he was off by a almost a day. Infuriated, Christian fought to keep his desire to finish the race.
 +
 
 +
Never one to quit, he followed through with the race, and hit the required checkpoints. Finishing in 6th place, Christian's desire and thoughts of being a racer were very solidly put to rest.
 +
 
 +
==The Metamorphosis Plague==
 +
 
 +
During Year 14, Christian was deployed on Derra IV to help quail the effects of the [[Great Animosity Plague]]. However the sickness quickly started to effect Christian and his entire squad, eliminating any positive effect they had on the planet. After many bouts of random aggression Christian was able to regain control of himself, and with slightly more difficulty, his squad.
 +
Considering the mission a failure that would take reevaluation to complete, Christian prepared to leave the system.
 +
He managed to get clearance through the blockade, as no trace of the Animosity Plague was found on the ship. This was attributed to the new "cure" that had been distributed in the atmosphere of each planet.
 +
 
 +
On Year 14 Day 25 Christian was afflicted with the [[Metamorphosis Plague]], though this wasn't immediately known to him. He was crippled by intense pain for days, but saw no noticeable changes in his appearance. Upon learning from his personal medic that he had indeed caught this plague, he quarantined himself and went into a deep healing trance. A few weeks later, he reemerged, confident that he had fought off the transformation. However it is worth noting that he now shows more Northern [[Kiffar]] tendencies than before.

During Y14 Christian entered the Tournament held on Derra that was being run by Rochi Zaraki. He eagerly fought for first place, mowing over his first opponent, the Force using Jawa, Eugene Delmarco.

However, Christian's skill, or maybe even luck, completely failed him during his match with Rann Halycon. The more experienced Jedi was more powerful than Christian, and soundly beat Hall. This threw him out of the running for first place and forced him to fight [[Dunta Star]], his former apprentice and workmate, for third place. Christian's final match was a sniper fight. Giving all credit to luck, Christian managed to out dodge Star, and secured the third place prize.

Biography

Christian Hall was born in the crime-ridden city of Zion on blazing Tatooine. His father was a fighter pilot in the New Republic, while his mother was a Stormtrooper. His parents had a bond which enabled them to work past both their obvious ideological differences and two rigid schedules which kept them mostly apart.

Awakening

In Year 11, Christian gave into an impulse. Something inside him commanded him to travel to Hutt Space. Unsure of what he was truly going there for, he gathered his belongings and made the trip to one of the galaxies most dangerous sectors in his BR-23.

Christian exited hyperspace in the Cyborrea system and immediately knew where his destination was. Well, he had a more specific idea. So he began moving. The closer he got to his destination, the stronger The Voice inside him became. He neared the planet that the system was named after.

And he was sure that if he betrayed that promise, his death would not be quick.

Christian returned back to safety, confused, but eager for the chapter.

Krieg's Run

Near the end of Year 12, and the beginning of Year 13, Christian found himself among the stars much more often than not. The man was by no means new to flying. His reflexes allowed him to fly as quickly as his ship could go. But that was the extent of his "exceptional" piloting skills. And though the ships he flew had more guns than engines, these facts did not stop Christian's delusion of being an ace pilot. So with the encouragement of his brother he entered the Krieg's Run Racing.

He was able to convince his friends in Murishani Unubunko to lend him their fastest ship, YT-1760, Endless Wastes.

So on Year 13 Day 46, Christian sat in the cockpit of the Endless Wastes ready to go. The young man was very confident in his skills, his ship, and the route he had meticulously plotted out.

Half way through the race, Christian realized that somehow he had miscalculated his path, and that he was off by a almost a day. Infuriated, Christian fought to keep his desire to finish the race.

Never one to quit, he followed through with the race, and hit the required checkpoints. Finishing in 6th place, Christian's desire and thoughts of being a racer were very solidly put to rest.

The Metamorphosis Plague

During Year 14, Christian was deployed on Derra IV to help quail the effects of the Great Animosity Plague. However the sickness quickly started to effect Christian and his entire squad, eliminating any positive effect they had on the planet. After many bouts of random aggression Christian was able to regain control of himself, and with slightly more difficulty, his squad. Considering the mission a failure that would take reevaluation to complete, Christian prepared to leave the system. He managed to get clearance through the blockade, as no trace of the Animosity Plague was found on the ship. This was attributed to the new "cure" that had been distributed in the atmosphere of each planet.

On Year 14 Day 25 Christian was afflicted with the Metamorphosis Plague, though this wasn't immediately known to him. He was crippled by intense pain for days, but saw no noticeable changes in his appearance. Upon learning from his personal medic that he had indeed caught this plague, he quarantined himself and went into a deep healing trance. A few weeks later, he reemerged, confident that he had fought off the transformation. However it is worth noting that he now shows more Northern Kiffar tendencies than before.


First Annual Tournament of Derra

During Y14 Christian entered the Tournament held on Derra that was being run by Rochi Zaraki. He eagerly fought for first place, mowing over his first opponent, the Force using Jawa, Eugene Delmarco. His next opponent, the fearsome Gammorean Dragomir Kies, was quite a bit tougher; Christian managed to use his superior speed to his advantage however, nailing another win. However, Christian's skill, or maybe even luck, completely failed him during his match with Rann Halycon. The more experienced Jedi was more powerful than Christian, and soundly beat Hall. This threw him out of the running for first place and forced him to fight Dunta Star, his former apprentice and workmate, for third place. Christian's final match was a sniper fight. Giving all credit to luck, Christian managed to out dodge Star, and secured the third place prize.
