BIOGRAPHY
There's very little to be said about Newkt's early life on Serenno. He was a middle child, with two older sisters and two younger twin brothers; with parent's who spent the majority of their time working. Newkt and his siblings were typically left to their own devices, which normally meant roughhousing in the house or terrorizing their neighbors. The Cordonval children were troublemakers, but it was always innocent fun. They never meant any harm and the few times they got into legitimate trouble, the five children were sent off with slap on the wrist. It was wild with his brother's and sisters, but Newkt had a relatively normal life nonetheless. couldn't complain. There was always enough food and he wasn't cursed with abusive parents or a crime ridden neighborhood.
As the Cordonval children grew up, Newkt's two oldest sisters married off quickly, one to some shipping merchant, and the other to an Off-world Factory Worker. Newkt and his family didn't see much of his sisters after that, not without an occasion. With his sister's gone, Newkt was left to play the 'Big Brother' role with his two younger brother's. While Newkt was able to find decent, steady work, the twins weren't so lucky. For one reason or another, the two ended loading crates for illegal smugglers and gun-runners. Granted, that's not that bad, but in the eyes of Serenno's Authorities, the Cordonval twins were still criminals.
By the time Newkt found out about his younger brothers' new line of work, it was too late. They'd already been arrested, and to make things, the criminal kingpins they'd worked for has set the twins up to take the fall for everything. Newkt tried to bail his brothers out, but he was not a rich man. Not near rich enough to pay bail for his brothers. There was no way he'd find that many credits in his back pocket.
With no other options, Newkt turned to the criminals who had gotten his brothers arrested in the first place. Of course, they wouldn't bail his brothers out, but for the right price, they may pull some strings and at least make things easier for the Cordonvan Twins; A shorter sentence, better cells in whatever hell-hole of a prison they wre bound for, etc.
Their price?
Servitude. Free labor for the span of seven years. Seven years of smuggling, shooting, lying, and thieving, all for his little brothers' sake.
At the end of those seven years, Newkt came out at a harder man, the type who could burn a whole through someone's chest without thinking about it. Seven years of work, and Newkt had done a lot that he wasn't particularly proud of. When his time was up, He couldn't just return back to a regular life, working a regular job for regular people. Newkt had become a renegade of sorts, and he wasn't about to change anytime soon. So, instead of returning home to Serenno, Newkt followed business and ended up in the backwaters of the Outer Rim. Smuggling, Bounties, Enforcement Work. Newkt wasn't picky. He'd take any job that came his way, just so long as it paid.
A Galaxy ripe with chaos is a Galaxy ripe with oppurtunity. Newkt fully intends intends to capitalize off it all. He doesn't care what side he's on, just so long as its the winning side...

Personality
Though Newkt is by no means a criminal mastermind, He's not dumb. Newkt is smart enough to know when he's walking into a fight he can't win, and for the most part, he's wise enough to turn and walk the other way. You don't typically live long in the criminal scene if you spend your time tempting fate. Newkt has very little sense of respect though. He'll be pleasant when he know's its good for him, but rubbed the wrong way, Newkt's got a bit of an edge. There have been occasions where Newkt has been chased out of cantinas and clubs after insulting the wrong man, but he gets away, most the time.
Newkt isn't really a bad man at heart, it doesn't take a lot of convincing to make him do bad thing. Throw the right amount of credits his way, and Newkt will be any man you want, be that Smuggler, Killer, or Thief. It doesn't really matter all that much what the job is, just so long as there will be payment. Typically, Newkt doesn't have much problem justifying his actions as 'Just another day on the job'. Without an incentive to pull him one way or the other, Newkt will typically do the right thing, but all it takes is a paycheck to sway his mind.
Attributes
Newkt has a lean build, like a runner rather than a powerlifter. He's strong enough to hold his own in a good old fashioned brawl, but he's more comfortable gunslinging pistols than dealing with fisticuffs. If he's got to square up to anyone larger than himself, Newkt may be in some trouble. He's generally pretty good at keeping enough distance between himself and whoever he's fighting. He's been known to use his enviroment to his advantage, hostages, makeshift barricades, jimmy-rigged explosives. Newkt just wants to win whatever fight he's gotten himself into.
Faced with technical problems, Newkt's pretty useless. Computers, stareships, droids; Newkt oonly really knows how to shoot them or blow them up. Luckily, Newkt isn't above outsourcing for help if a job requires something out of his expertise. Newkt may not be a great leader, but he can work well with others if it's in the pursuit of a common goal. He can be unpredictable though. If there is reason and opportunity, Newkt may very well stab his companions in the back. His own fortune is and always will be his first thought. Principles and morality are rarely anything he concerns himself with.
Skills/Gear
Lucas Newkt's primary skills are combat oriented. Armed with the A10 Long-Blaster, He shouldn't be taken lightly. He's not military trained with it of course, but years of trial and error are a good teacher. With his blaster pistols, Newkt is better. Deep down, he enjoys the combat, the thrill of it. He's quick on his feet, always careful to stay aware of his surroundings and his enemies, lest he be caught and pinned down. Explosives came to Newkt easily enough. He doesn't carry any himself, but he's pretty good at improvising with whatever he's given.
While he doesn't like getting physical with his fists, Newkt has been in enough cantina fights and shoot outs to know how to handle himself. Generally he will try to slip away from the situation rather than continue brawling. He slick bastard. Look away and Newkt might already be three streets over disappearing into a back alley.
