Origins:

Immortality has a price...

One of the Perpetuals, a group of eternal beings of unknown origin (though it is rumored they were created by an ancient, powerful race, perhaps the Celestials, and some of their powers were artificially induced), his soul and consciousness reincarnated many times across history, his rare presence in the force growing so that its energy, while hidden from force users, still altered his genome and physiology with time, living longer and longer each reincarnation, he'll eventually be rendered effectively immortal due to extremely rapid and efficient cellular regeneration.

Wandering the Galaxy on each reincarnation, traveled among the different peoples of many races. At first an observer of triumphs and follies, soon begun to help where he could, unconsciously and partly using the wisdom, experience and knowledge he acquired on each of his past lives, partly using the skills he was granted. On each reincarnation, he dedicated to help spread efficient government, crop management, animal husbandry, technology and peace. He used his influence carefully, at first adopting only the guise of a normal man, and when his lifespan became longer, he acted without revealing his true nature, sometimes adopting the persona of a great leader or advisor. In times of trouble he became a crusader, a religious leader or even a local messiah, at other times He remained a back-stage contributor to events, an advisor to kings, a court magician, a pioneering scientist.

Many of the guises or lives he adopted were humble, others became monumental figures of local or regional history or religion. At times of crisis he would be there, steering mainly the human race along a narrow path to survival that only he could see.

Despite his best efforts to promote peace and harmony across Coruscant first, and then the Galaxy at large, the instinctive values of martial honor, ambition, defiance, and self-satisfaction could never be eradicated from living beings and specially, from humanoid character. Fearful of being discovered, he didn't hesitate to make difficult, even immoral decisions to ensure his survival until he could fulfill his self-imposed quest to save living beings. Sometimes this meant going into self exile and once this happened, he was quickly forsaken.

Some of his plans proved less than successful; seeds of wisdom often failed to flourish or grew into uncontrollable monstrosities leading to eras of persecution and war. He realized humanity needed law, order and the guidance of a ruler to reach its full potential. He hoped for the sith , the Jedi, even the Mandalorians to bring this order. Each live he came to same conclusions and sought law and order and on his current reincarnation, he saw this order finally coming with the Galactic Empire.

Current life: This reincarnation saw him coming to life in 22 ABY on Coruscant.


A bit about RL Profile

Since I don't mind talking a bit about me, I'll add some information for context. By the time of writing this, I'm a 40 years old mechanical engineer, martial artist, amateur musician and sci-fi nerd hailing from Caracas, Venezuela (UTC: -4). I worked on the state-owned local city Metro (specializing on Non-Destructive testing with Ultrasonic probes of the rail system) and the equally state-owned national-wide phone company where I worked on energy/HVAC systems. This led me to work in projects, monitoring & control and operations & management, developing a taste for goal-oriented management of maintenance systems.

Since 2018 I worked as freelance consultor on energy/HVAC applications for DataCenters and Cryptocurrency digital mining operations.

Despite having multiple experiences over the years, I'm still looking towards having my own family. This has brought some good and some very bad moments in life but I got over it with time. I carry the memories with me.

Currently I decided to live with my parents (a common trend on Latin American countries) and focus on my side projects: music, martial arts - being kung fu the main martial art I've been training since '92 and after a years-long pause, resumed it since 2001. I train with empty hand and melee weapons such as single and double daos, short and long sticks and others.

I have engineering projects I'd like to work in (once my life has been sorted) in areas such as energy conversion, supply chain and transport. I aim to work as an independent researcher , hoping to locally produce technology that helps humanity.

I joined EH on '06 roughly on Iota Squadron , ISDII: Colossus, serving as CMDR for a while. A 10 year hiatus followed since '08 to 2018, when I returned to active service on Alpha becoming its CMDR since then.

Since I was a kid, I remember mom wanted me to be a fan of SW and bought me one day a SW flight sim...she wanted me to be a fan of the rebels. But she bought me TIE. It was instant love. I became a fan of the game and the series, with me experimenting the thrill of the challenges XvT offered and becoming part of a local club where I learned to do MP to an extent. Then I joined the fun on XWA and the MSN Gaming Zone back in '99 and participated in events such as BSC's WoW (and I managed to win at least one WoW, which granted me a DFC as Ii wn it flying for the EH).

My PC was built in 2017 and bought the best hardware I could. I can proudly say despite its age, it can run games like SWS, BF2 or the new Jedi games. I managed to get Win11 working here and customized it. I have one OS for games and another one for work.

I love SW, ST, B5, BSG and Sci-fi in general. The XW series, SWR, FC, EaW, GBG and DF are my favorites on SW. BC, STA are my favorite ST games. IFH is a B5 game I love with Crusader series, Total War, IL2 Sturmovik. F1 Racing and Doom being my other non SW favorites.

Recently, I rediscovered my interest, motivation and love for the EH and I intend to keep the flame of the classics burning so I will do my best to incentivize all aspects of the classics (SP, PvE, PvP, mods) on the club, also learning how to best lead the squadron and make additional contributions such as possible IU courses and submitting missions on the compendium.
