DISTINGUISHING MARKS: Several small scars on his hands; the result of cuts earned working on his personal swoop bikes.
FORCE SENSITIVE: No
FOR FORCE USERS:
Attempts to read Dash's thoughts are met with strong feelings of regret, shame, and self-loathing. There is a source to these feelings, but it is hazy; unclear. It appears Dash has forgotten the source of his regrets; or more likely, has actively worked to suppress them.
STRENGTH: Dash isn't abnormally strong; At most, he is able to lift 300 pounds with some difficulty.
DEXTERITY: Dash is exceptionally dextrous; his reaction time and fine motor skills sharpened to a point during five years on the professional Swoop racing circuit
CONSTITUTION: Dash is rather fit; able to withstand severe G forces.
INTELLIGENCE: Dash has extensive knowledge of propulsion and navigational systems, and marginal knowledge of blasters. Anything else is over his head.
WISDOM: At his relatively young age, Dash has traveled much, and can be considered street wise, always able to find a black market stall for ship and swoop parts, or an illegal race taking place.
CHARISMA: Dash is charismatic enough to negotiate a contract, but has a tendency to fall short in most social situations.
PERSONALITY:
Dash's personality borders on dejected. When he was still bright eyed, and excited to be living his dream as a swoop racer, he was jovial, energetic, and hopeful. Now, having grown tired of his life, and the betrayal he's suffered; he speaks simply, usually in a deadpan. He rarely seeks out new friends, and will not normally be the one to engage a conversation.
While most would find this off putting, this isn't to say Dash won't speak with people, or form friendships. He's just grown more wary of the people around him, gaining a pessimistic view point on life as a whole. Dash hides his insecurities behind a wall of seeming indifference, but in reality, he takes everything into consideration; the opinions of others mean a lot to him, no matter how much he denies it.

Born on Corellia to Matriska Aandek and an unknown father; shortly relocating to Nar Shaddaa afterward to avoid the huge debts his father had left in his wake. Dash was left to his own devices once he was old enough to care for himself; his mother needing to work to support them both. Dash soon found himself enthralled with the local swoop racing scene. Immediately knowing that was his passion, Dash apprenticed himself to a local repair shop owner by the name of “Lefty” Far'thoon; A Cathar who, at the time, was running his shop as a front for illegal Swoop Races and gambling. By the age of 12, he was learning to ride, and by age 14, he was racing.
It wasn't long after before Dash was able to earn enough credits for his mother to quit her job, and move them both to Coruscant, where, thanks to Lefty, He was offered a sponsorship from a small scrap shop on the mid levels: Horton Salvage. Dash immediately set to making a name for himself, traveling around for the next five years on the professional swoop racing circuit. However, his luck wouldn't last. Framed for tampering with other racer's bikes by an unknown competitor, and banned from competing; Dash found himself feeling lost. Even though he had more offers on the table for endorsements, and mentoring, he felt like he could be doing more, yet he didn't know what. Dash sunk into a deep depression; taking to drinking, and floating around various cantinas, halfheartedly searching for a bigger purpose, without knowing what he was looking for.

SKILLS:
Dash is an exceptional Swoop Pilot, which he was able to translate to speeders and ships as well. In his own words; “If it flies, I can make it dance.” In an attempt to flesh out his talents; Dash spent time practicing with various types of blasters, making him a talented quick draw shooter. Dash is additionally a genius mechanic, able to fix, upgrade, and maintain many different ships, speeders, and swoops.
STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES:
Dash's strengths are primarily focused around vehicles; Ships, Speeders, and Swoops. The piloting, maintenance, and, at least academically, combat, though he has yet to truly experience any real action.
The same is true for his personal fighting skill. While he's an accurate shot with a quick draw, once he has drawn his blaster; he needs time to line up his shot. Aside from a few scuffles as a child, and one or two cantina brawls, Dash has no real combat experience to call on.
Socially speaking; Dash isn't incredibly persuasive. Whilst he carries himself well, he preferred to defer any public affairs from his days as a swoop racer to his publicist, and any matters of money, and contracts to his agent.
GEAR:
1x Set of tools (Spanners, screwdrivers and the like, kept in a small pouch on his belt.)
1x DD6 Blaster (Worn in a loose, hip slung holster)
CLOTHING:
Dash regularly wears a green short sleeved shirt with a black down vest over it, and Black baggy mechanic's pants; supported by his utility belt. His boots are gray, with various black splotches of oil stains. When he is working on his swoop; he wears welder's goggles and thick black gloves.
SHIP:
Dash's ship is a personally rebuilt HWK-290 dubbed the Eagle's Talon. Initially a project ship he worked on during the off-season; Dash purchased the broken husk of a ship from a scrap yard for 12,000 credits. He soon found himself sinking most of his money into it; bringing the ship up to modern standards, and making it comfortable enough to live out of.
The hull is painted in a dull gray, with black and green accents around the cockpit, and along the wings and hull, giving it a sleek, dangerous look, despite the fact it possesses no offensive capabilities.
Dash has modified the engines, shields, and controls himself, making it ultra maneuverable, and hard headed. It's main flaw is thus; in modifying the power system, Dash overlooked the power draw of his engines and shielding. He can run both at the same time, but to get the full benefit out of either, one has to be shut down completely.
The ship's cargo bay has been transformed into a workshop; half of which is dedicated to Dash's personal Swoop; a fully custom Mobquet Flare-S, painted in a similar style to the ship, with minor scuff marks where logos used to be.
