Personality/Biography (kinda mixing both cause a short something else will replace the real biography):
Larssen Gray was born in Anchorhead, on Tatooine. He was brighter than the rest of the kids he went to school with, even from an early age. While he held a deep interest in history, he was also always very good with writing. Often times he would combine the two. As he grew up, as the Ophuchi clan became more and more prominent among Tatooine, the then young man grew more and more interested in him. While they themselves were relatively young, less than a century to his knowledge, they were said to be much much older than that from what he heard. As a war between the Hutts and the Ophuchi grew more and more inevitable, he signed up with a newspaper in Mos Espa and left the boring town.

Quickly he rose through the ranks of the newspaper, tensions rising more and more between the Ophuchi and the Hutts. Time and time again Larssen, ever the persistent one, requested to go report on the upcoming rebellion, possibly meet with members of both sides and see what was going on. After proving himself a worthy writer and good journalist, his editor allowed him the chance to go and meet with different members of the Ophuchi and the Hutts. His interest in the people who would be called the rebels when the inevitable seeming war went into the history books only grew more, hoping to meet with as many of them as possible. He didn't even know if they would allow him anything, but he'd try his hardest to get it.

Along his journeys in Mos Espa, most of them taking place in a whacky little cantina known as Rapolio's, run by Norky Rapolio (an incredibly fat Twi'lek...so fat Larssen thought he was a Hutt when they first met), the young journalist became friends with Marco Real (pronounced Ray-all), an ex-smuggler and arsonist and full time drunk. The two became fast friends, Re-al teaching Larssen to drink like a man. As he attempted to get his editor to allow him to interview the Ophuchi and Hutts, the young man did the same to Re-al, trying to get him to tag along and maybe offer some protection.

It took several weeks worth of convincing and ass-kicking, but eventually the old smuggler agreed to join the unrelenting journalist just to get him to shut up.

Note to Sandy


I'm sorry I have to do this to you, Sandy. I know this is a point in your life where you need me the most, and I know you would resort to...certain measures to make sure you wouldn't have to go through something like this again...but this is something that I have to do.

It's not to get away from you, and it's not because of you. You won't leave this nowheresville town no matter how hard I try to convince you. And I can't take it anymore. The people in this place, how I despise them. I have to thank you for everything you've given to me these past four years we've been together. We're both the reason the other hasn't blown their brains out yet, yet we can never get anything right. And trust me, I still, whole-heartedly believe that it's this damned town, Sandy.

But no matter how much I love you, I still couldn't stand one more second in that place. My life is meant to be so much more than just being a mechanic at some stupid, scrap parts shop. Your's is meant to be so much more than a waitress at some lousy caf joint! I would have joined the Ophuchi barring I couldn't find any better job to do in Mos Espa.

Maybe once I've written the piece of a lifetime will I come back and fly you far far away from Anchorhead.

Love,
Gray

Jacques, excellent profile for Larssen Gray.

Larssen’s history seems so believable to me…small town, climbing the business ladder, etc all makes his story come alive. Also I really like his profile picture, but then again I am very partial when it comes to black and white pictures. :CSly

The only thing that I can see that can be improved upon is his age. Given the story you have masterfully crafted, I would think perhaps, late twenties will be better. Unless he is the extraordinary kind that started really young in life… also one nitpick, the image you used does not match a 23 year old, imho.

Overall, I like it and can’t wait to read his RPs.:CHappy

Yeah, I decided to change the picture. But it's a friggin big ass picture. Also, upped his age to 27, cause you're right, it was a little too young. And it seems closer to the age of the picture...I'll just say he looks much older than he is.

I actually like it better. Humphrey Bogart had a damned pleasing pair of eyeballs.

And I have a hat that looks the exact same as the one in that picture.
