This is the story of Kelvis Aquatica. At this time, you all know him as a middleaged, late 30's-early 40's, Quarren Tech. He's kinda shy, though he's making an concerted effort not to be, since joining the New Republic. He's also a bit clumsy, and that may contribute to his shyness some. In truth, the background of Kelvis Aquatica is the story of his journey through life before his joining of the New Republic.
Kelvis was born on Calamari. Both his parents were Quarren, and both severly neutral in respects to the coming conflict between the Rebellion, and the Empire. Kelvis was a quiet child, shy even then. Right from the start, he was fascinated with machinery, and technology. He tore everything apart, and half the time was able to put it back together again. He had a knack for it. His parents, fed up with having thier house destroyed, shipped him to an academy.
At the Calamari College of Technology, he learned the basics of ship repair, and after graduating, he was hired by a trading company, to repair thier ships. This took him all over the galaxy, and he was quickly rising in the ranks of the techs. The Chief Tech of the company started to see Kelvis as a threat to his cushy job, and set about for his termination. The Tech succeed, he forced Kelvis to resign saying that Kelvis was spying for a rival trading group, and that Kel was going to try some act of sabotage. No one believed the charges, but Kelvis resigned for reasons of his own. The most probable reason being a better job offer from a ship manufacturer. He traveled to various different places, fixing merchandise that was broken, or faulty. He earned the nickname "The Miracle Worker" while in thier employ. He consistantly fixed ships, and problems deemed impossible by others. On one of his assignments, he met Sendri Welingr, a beautiful human Jizz singer. Her auburn hair, and tan skin haunting most mens thoughts, and her light brown eyes, just added to her beauty. Her ship was a patchwork of upgrades, and half hearted repairs. Kelvis couldn't help but take her job offer.
Kelvis enjoyed the work, as the pleasure yacht was always in a state of repair, or upgrades. He also liked the company of the jizz band, and Sendri. Kelvis wasn't won over by her goodlooks, and treated as he treated everyone, with respect, but not awe. This is what caught Sendri's eye, and heart. Kelvis never had a chance, and wound up married to a shockingly beautiful human. They were happy, and maybe they should have known it wouldn't last forever, but it never crossed thier minds. They lived a quiet life, Kelvis repairing the ship, Sendri, and the band touring, and performing. Nothing can ever stay the same, and after several long years of marriage, four to be exact, things were ended.
It wasn't Kelvis' idea to end it, nor was it Sendri's, on a visit to an Imperial controlled planet, the planetary governor heard of Sendri's marraige to Kelvis, and seized her. She had left orders with the crew that if she were ever arrested by the Imperials, to lift without her, so that Kelvis didn't wind up in trouble too. They took Kelvis to a neighboring system, dropped him off, then went back to save Sendri. Kelvis hacked the holo-net, trying to learn something of his wife's fate. What he found was worse then he could have believed. She'd been executed for 'Treasons against the Empire'. After spending about a year in mourning, visiting various planets that he remembered Sendri liked, he came to a decision. He had to do something about the Empire, and his dwindling credit resources. Not being a warrior, he did what he did best, fix ships, only this time, he was going to do it for the New Republic.
And that catches you up on the history of Kelvis Aquatica. I hope it helps you to better understand him.
