Courage is the art of being the only one who knows you're scared to death.

If you're not living on the edge, you're taking up too much space.

It is not the going out of port, but the coming in, that determines the success of a voyage.

Courage is not defined by those who fought and did not fall, but by those who fought, fell and rose again.

CONSTITUTION: His family has a history of being very healthy. No major health concerns. However he has a very large sweet tooth and loves to eat.

SKILLS:
-Able Mechanic
-Daring and Inventively Talented Pilot
_Decent Shot
STRENGTHS:
-Mechanical Skill: Dagos helped his father run a mechanic shop in a middle class section of Coruscant, where they worked on Speeders, Swoop Bikes, Droids, Personal mechanical devices, Computers, ect. This developed his mechanical abilities to be very diverse and creative. As a child, he used to scour the Junkyard a few blocks from his apartment for spare parts that he would build his own little projects with.
-Piloting: Dagos has a natural talent for flying, possibly from his avian species. Ever since he could drive a speeder he enjoyed piloting around the neighborhood and eventually Started his own, small scale, Taxi service to earn money to go to school. Unfortunately, he valued getting his customers to their destinations a little faster than they were generally comfortable with and soon, no one wanted his services.
-Compromise and Deal-Making: Being the assistant to his father, he learned to deal with customers who aimed to take advantage of him. He quickly picked up on the finer points of negotiating and bartering.
-Creative and Flexibly Innovative: Due to his junk-yard escapades, he has learned to improvise with machinery very well. However, this has carried over to his piloting and overall personality, as he enjoys unorthodox methods.

PERSONALITY:
With a clear head on his shoulders, he is a quick learner and talented mechanic. He is fascinated with the inner workings of every Mechanical object he comes across. Dagos is inquisitive by nature, often taking random objects apart and putting them back together just for fun. A generally boisterous and positive fellow, he is well liked and always jabbering away with a friend. He prides himself on his ability to get along with a wide range of people. Despite this, he harbors a deep loathing of the Hutts.
HISTORY:
Dagos was born and raised in a lower Middle-class neighborhood on Coruscant. His Father was a reputable, talented mechanic and his mother owned a bakery. Mechanics and technology appealed to him from a young age. At the age of 7 he started exploring a local junk yard. This soon became his Home away from home and he built many improvisational machines to help his mother and father in the shops, including Egle. At the age of 11 he started helping his father in the shop. Working on speeders, bikes, small spacecraft parts, utilities, droids, computer systems, and anything else the strange, otherworldly customers brought in, he mastered the art of building and repairing mechanical systems.
As soon as he gained the age to drive, he “borrowed” the family’s speeder and practiced around his childhood getaway, the junk yard. After a few custom modifications, he opened his own Taxi service, boasting: “I’ll get you there so fast you’ll be getting out before you’ve finished getting in.” Needless to say, he did his job too well and many boycotted his service due to his “suicidal maniac” style of driving.
He had heard stories of the vast Hutt Empire spanning all across the outer rim and was intrigued by what technology they may have. With his father’s blessing and his mother’s worry, he decided to go see for himself. He bought himself a small cargo ship and Traveled to the outskirts of the Mid-Rim, looking for small scale dealers to buy new technology. Not knowing how Hutt’s worked, he entered into a masterfully sleazy deal orchestrated by a young Hutt named Borsa. Due to fine print and a loophole, Dagos was arrested and sold into slavery to yet another Hutt as a droid repairer.
A year later the war started.
Dagos was forced to work in a small, dank cell for endless hours, rebuilding droids for every purpose imaginable. Finally, filled with hate and contempt of his Hutt masters, Dagos secretly rallied support among the slaves and orchestrated his own scheme. Many slaves avoided him, fearing the iron fist of their master, yet some agreed that the life they lived was worse than death. Under the direction of Dagos, the kitchen hands heavily sedated their master, allowing Dagos’s resistance to stowaway on a smuggler ship. As soon as the ship had cleared the system, the ragged band overtook the ship, took the crew hostage, and flew back to Coruscant.
Upon landing, Dagos left the band of former slaves with the ship, the cargo, and the smugglers (who had bounties on their heads) and returned home. After a warm welcome and an animated telling of his hardships, he told his father about his decision to join the Republic Navy and end the horrors of the Hutt Empire. The next day, with a full belly and renewed vigor, he walked into the recruitment office to begin the dismantling of the Hutts.
