Current Status[edit]
Kitrep Sarn is currently a trooper in Wraith Squad and a Senior Sergeant.
ID line- TRP/SSG Kitrep Sarn/3SQD/1PLT/1COM/1BAT/1RGT/VEA/VE
In addition, he is a combat engineer, and highly experienced.
It should be noted he is an NPC, serving in a largely character-based squad. Therefore he is not directly controlled by any one person, or subject to A.W.O.L. checks or reports, however in stories his role is the same, though with his character, personality, specialty and so forth.
Kitrep Sarn[edit]
Appearance[edit]
Older than most regular stormtroopers, and this shows as he has served for around ten years. Short black hair, which is slightly spiked upwards along with his fairly plain face dosn't give any hints as to his life, though being six foot six and weighing roughly 200 pounds, his appearance, whilst not scary is still fairly intimidating.Fairly bulky, but not fat or particularly muscled, more broad and with the suggestion of his strength rather than bulging muscles.
He has fairly plain brown eyes, which are never intimidating and very friendly, yet betraying his (relatively) long service. His face is smooth, with nothing particularly remarkable about any part of it. If it wasn't for his size you wouldn't give him a second glance. Has a faded scar horizontally across his right arm, just below the shoulder. Skimmed by a blaster bolt when a Corporal. However, he has no tatoos.
Moderately well groomed, not to the point of vanity or particular formality, but usually clean shaven. Rarely seen looking shabby, or wearing shabby clothes. His appearance generally reflects his inner thoughts, though as these are rarely very negative or depressed he rarely looks shoddy.
Personality[edit]
Kitrep has never been particularly agressive or full of himself, despite his size and slightly intimidating appearance he is largely compassionate and understanding. Though not particularly violent, he has never been troubled or held back when serving in the imperial army. In fact, due to his experience he will be both very friendly towards his squad mates, and never holding a grudge, he can also be unemotional at times, particularly in combat. Usually very calm under pressure, particularly in situations that are non-violent or if he needs to avoid violence. Can become stressed during prolonged firefights when he is at a disadvantage.
Views his family and childhood with fondness, and makes no secret of his desire to return to them when he has the chance. Never acts depressed in public about not having seen them for six years, but at the same time feels badly about it, and misses them deeply. Unknown to him at this time, he actually has Lilapsophobia, which is a fear of Tornado's, hurricanes and other similar weather conditions. However he has never encountered one, and is currently unaware of this fact.
Despite this, if an order contradicts his core beliefs, he will not hesitate to 'be creative' in his interpretation of the orders. Not to say he is mutinous, but he definitely has a moral core. For example, he won't murder or steal from less fortunate people, however he is by no means fanatic, being a smoker and drinks regularly, though rarely becomes more than slightly drunk. Is very comforting and reassuring to his squad mates, and can understand their troubles.
In combat a brilliant soldier, he will obey almost any order and obey it well. On more than one occasion he has far succeeded expectations of himself, and this has lead to an excellent service record. Dosn't back down, and can handle himself better than most soldiers in the vast empire. Specialised in being a combat engineer because he saw the value of their knowledge, and much of his learning and practice came from the field rather than in training.

History[edit]
Childhood[edit]
Was born to a lower class family on Coruscant, though they were by no means poor. The empire was in power at the time, and his father ran a shop in the lower-mid levels of the city. This was a fairly peaceful area, with little or no crime at any one time. To him and his family, the imperial government were respected; life was fine, there was little crime and the imperial army kept peace throughout the galaxy.
He had a younger brother, who was born when he was eight. As of now he is, if still alive, twenty four years old. Both his mother and his father were kind people, and raised him to have a moral centre. This lead to an interesting self-conflict, on one side he had morals and amongst his friends and schooling some people were beggining to turn towards alcohol and narcotics. Kitrep himself never chose to pursue this however.
Adulthood[edit]
Kitrep soon grew to be a healthy adult, admittedly a large one. His parents had the money to make finding a job a secondary concern, and they also wanted him to choose a career he would not regret. He had always admired the imperial army, in fact the whole empire for what is had done to the galaxy, so at the age of twenty enrolled in the academy. It took him several months of training, and though he tried his hardest failed to make the corps. However he was granted a place in the regular army, where he would spend several years in service.
Imperial army[edit]
Kitrep was more than happy with having made the regular army, and barely dismayed at failing to join the stormtrooper corps. However, almost immediately after training he was transferred out on duty, to a system in the mid rim where local militia and occasionally pirates would harass the imperial starport. It was here he found his first action, and discovered that he had no worries about killing in combat; it was hardly murder. His secure life was also brought into reality at this posting, where he realised how much he valued the empire by having to fight against it's enemies. After several months, an operation was initiated to wipe out the local militia. This was excecuted perfectly, leaving few survivors. Kitrep was recognised for his part in the raid and the previous encounters, and was promoted to Private First Class.
Shortly afterwards, the rebellion was officially declared and his squad was moved to the outer rim. In addition to multiple pirate raids, the next two years were spent fighting various rebel forces, and through exceptional service was eventually promoted to Lance Corporal by the battle of Yavin. On leave at the time, when the first death star was destroyed all imperial forces were called back from leave on Coruscant, despite the rebellion still being a minor threat. The squad was then repeatedly assigned to direct combat, finding and crushing elements of the rebellion. It was around this time that he really began to flourish, and earned the admiration of the squad. In three ABY, he was promoted upto Corporal and also given three weeks leave. This was the last time he saw his family, on his return he was posted to Endor.
The rebellion's attack on Endor and the death star was devastating, but he managed to get him and his squad out of the immediate battleground, and onto the last imperial shuttle. Before the shuttle could reach the death star, it was detonated, and they had to board one of the star destroyers just before it left the battle. Due to losses on Endor, he was promoted to ASL, and was unable to return to his family first because he was forced to remain in service, and later because Coruscant had become republican. Throughout this time he was slowly promoted, first to Sergeant and then onto Senior Sergeant following the many personell losses and personal victories in the next several years. As the empire fractured, him and his squad were gradually drawn into the VE whilst serving under various imperials.
Stormtrooper corps[edit]
During the failed invasion of Thrawn on Tadath, Kitrep's squad leader was killed early on, and he took command of the squad. They managed to survive and hold their garrison, before managing to push back against the invading forces. In recognition, Kitrep was offered either a promotion, leading his own squad, or to be allowed into the stormtrooper corps. He would keep his Senior Sergeant's rank, but would also become a regular trooper at the same time. Remembering his earlier dream to join the stormtrooper's ranks, he accepted. To ensure he would be able to cope as a stormtrooper, he was put into extra training for two months, and then given a short leave which he spent on Tadath. Upon his return, he was assigned to Wraith Squad.

Equipment[edit]
Military Gear[edit]
Having served for around twelve years, being an experienced combatant and an advanced combat engineer Kitrep has developed a personal loadout of weapons he prefers. The armour is standard, but the guns are all powerful with significantly sized magazines. The explosives were chosen based on practical use and his engineering experience.
The E-11 has been slightly modified, the clip size and gun strength remain the same, but the scope has been improved to provide a slightly greater zoom and clarity. The DL-54 has also been modified, to make it around 15% more powerful than the standard model, though no other changes have been made. As a result, it can easily pierce most types of armour.

Personal Gear[edit]
As well as having an extensive military armoury, Kitrep has also purchased several pieces of personal equipment, which he occassionally used in missions. The major example of this was the Thrawn invasion, when he was able to utilise some of his personal possessions which he has collected for one reason or another, to repel the invaders.
An interesting note is that all of his personal possessions, with few exceptions, have been given a red and orange colour scheme. It is in a flame design, most obvious on his ETA-5 and the combat droids, however the armour has been left in it's original colour.

Languages[edit]
Basic[edit]
Basic is Kitrep's original language, which he was taught by his parents. Being his native language, and the language used throughout the Vast Empire, he is fluent in Basic.
Twi'lek[edit]
Kitrep originally grasped some basic Twi'lek off some friends on Coruscant. This was furthered by two Twi'lek troopers that served first with and then under Kitrep during his time in the regular army. He is near fluent, but his grammar can be poor, and notably his vocabulary is largely military based.
Zabrak[edit]
Knows some basic Zabrak, due to a Zabrak trooper that served under him for three years. Has extreme difficulty with the language, particularly under stress. Only knows some military vocab, and basic greetings.
Freelance work[edit]
Kitrep has in the past, and will continue to on occassion, undertaken freelance work. As long as something does not violate his morals, he is more than happy to undertake a venture. This has lead to numerous connections in underground communities, particularly with hired guns and smugglers. It has also lead to him having a few safehouses near settlements, usually stocked with basic weapons, armour and ammunition. The freelance work generally involves help with smuggling, escorting, being a moderately expensive hired gun and some miscellaneous assignments. Though he will undertake these readily, they rarely interfere with missions and have never hindered his military career.
Amazingly throughout his freelance work he has managed to avoid getting seriously drunk or injured, as well as the company of questionable women. This is the main reason, along with his service record, a few ventures have been overlooked by his old squad leader when he served in the regular army.
Goals[edit]
Military goals-
- Complete the combat Engineer specialty
Currently at level five, Kitrep hopes to become a fully qualified Combat Engineer. This is both for the knowledge gained, but also due to his progress so far and that it is a symbolic milestone, and an achievable one judging from his current progress.
- Reach the rank of Gunnery Sergeant
A Senior Sergeant Kitrep aims to get promoted at least once before considering leaving the army. Based on previous service, this should easily be possible however he is used to serving in a regular army squad, not a stormtrooper squad, where the standards are higher, such as in Wraith Squad.
Career goals-
- Leave the military
Though this is a distant goal, Kitrep does not want to spend his entire lifetime in the army. However he is prepared to wait a considerable time, particularly to complete his above goals and also to amass enough money and possessions to live comfortably for a while without employment.
- Become a more accomplished Freelancer
Freelancing is both his secondary occupation, and his intended occupation should he leave the military. Kitrep intends to become more renowned, to the point where he will be offered high-class jobs with significant payments; at current the majority of his jobs pay well, they are not to badly paid and not for amateurs, but he rarely receives difficult well-paid jobs.
Personal goals-
- Revisit Coruscant
Kitrep plans to revisit Coruscant in the near future, both the planet which he has not seen for six years, and his family who he has not seen for just as long. His parents, if alive, are most likely still living there, however his brother, who should be at the age of twenty-four at this time, could easily have moved away. In that case, he would also intend to re-unite with his brother who he has not seen for a considerable time.
Future problems[edit]
There are two major possibilities for problems he could encounter. One of these is more considerable than the other, and the second one is both more difficult to handle and less likely.
Firstly, due to the nature of some freelance work he has undertaken in the past, and in fact due to several of the missions he took part in when fighting in the imperial army, there is the possibility of grudges. People who he has come up against, or acted against in freelance work were generally powerful or capable enough to pose a significant threat if they chose to, and managed to track him down. Due to the shady nature of a lot of the freelance work, it would probably have a direct impact upon the squad he is a member of as well, which is currently Wraith. Also individual republic officers or supporters he has fought against in the regular army could bear a personal grudge, or the other way around if they encountered each other through a co-incidence, say on a mission. Local militia and pirates he fought against under the imperials may also hold a personal grudge, and already being VE opposed, they would certainly endanger the whole squad.
Secondly, having served in the imperial army for many years, several as an ASL or acting squad leader in unpleasant situations, he has seen many soldiers serving under him be killed, and in many cases he might accept an element of guilt in this sort of circumstance. Although he largely ignores this fact at current, any deaths within his new squad, particularly morbid or disgusting moments on missions, or just general stress could trigger an emotional breakdown. This could range from a minor, temporary one, for example a minor incident in a mission, to something so severe he could be taken from active duty, then hospitalised or placed in the reserves for a varying amount of time until he recovers.
