Bio

Appearance

Paxton "Pax" Marok is a member of the amphibious Mon Calamari species from the planet Dac. He sports one of the most common skin tones for his species, a mottled brown with orangish highlights. One thing that stands out, at least if you know Mon Calamari, are his unusual orange eyes- a common trait of the Mihawk family, which he inherited from his mother. At 5'6" he stands taller than average for a Mon Cal, but relatively short compared to most human males. His build is slightly on the lean side for a Mon Cal, but still a bit thicker than the average human's. Being pretty young, he doesn't have much in the way of barbels yet, which makes the lines of his face appear cleaner than most older members of his species. Like all members of his species, he has bulbous eyes and a large, sloping head.

Personality

Pax is a determined individual. He sets his goals and pursues them intensely. But he also has a rather good tactical sense and is quick to spot alternative concepts. He’s a bit more creative and unpredictable than the average Imperial officer, or the average Mon Calamari for that matter. In these respects he’s much like his uncle Drac, but he also differs in several important ways. Pax’s personality is not nearly as centered on the concept of loyalty as Drac’s is- that’s not to say that he isn’t loyal, but it simply isn’t the primary driver for him. At this stage in his life, at least, the primary driver for his focus is ambition. He wants to live up to his uncle’s reputation and show his parents up for trying to run his life for him.

Whether he succeeds in that or dies trying is what remains to be seen.

Pax isn’t all about himself, though. He’s a natural leader and recognizes that his success and his unit’s success are one and the same- and he goes out of his way to help his comrades perform as well as possible and, hopefully, make it home alive. He isn’t always the best at making friends as such, and can sometimes even be a bit standoffish, but those who serve beside him quickly learn that he’s dependable.

History

Pax, despite his name, wasn’t the most peaceful of children as he grew up. A very bright young Mon Cal, his natural curiosity got him into trouble with regularity and often brought him into conflict with his parents and the local constabulary. This might have all come to nothing if it weren’t for his uncle, Dracule “Drac” Mihawk. His mother’s younger brother, Mihawk was nearly twenty standard years older than Paxton and captured his young nephew’s imagination despite not having seen the young man since he was a small child. Mihawk was among the most renowned Mon Calamari pilots and naval commanders of his generation, and would have been rather famous on his home planet if he had chosen to serve the Rebellion and New Republic. Instead, he was a controversial figure celebrated for his skills by the same people who often reviled him as a traitor.

When he was 17 Pax accidentally bit off more than he expected to while sneaking onto a New Republic military base with some friends to check out some starfighters up close. They got caught by the military police, and were treated to a less than friendly all-night interrogation session by suspicious NR Intelligence officers for their trouble. Though family connections got the charges dropped, Paxton’s father made it very clear to him that he would be joining the New Republic military when he turned 18 to learn discipline and make up for the trouble he kept causing.

Per usual, and unknowingly much like his uncle, Pax refused to have his future dictated to him. He resented the NR for coming down so harshly on him for a harmless mistake, and he’d seen the chaos of the galaxy caused by the New Republic’s internal divisions as he grew up. Disillusioned with his family and future, he left home (okay, ran away) a few weeks before he turned 18 and made his way to Vast Imperial space. He managed to find his uncle, and Drac agreed to support his application to the Vast Empire Naval Academy but warned that he’d rise or fall on his own merits from there.
