Special Abilities
-- Quick Study: once per game session, Jimmy may re‑roll a failed Technical or Mechanical skill check, keeping the better result—representing precocious talent and intense curiosity.
Story Factors
-- Runaway on a Quest: Driven to find his star‑pilot brother, Johnny.
-- Under‑aged: Many adults dismiss or underestimate him; some will not knowingly allow him into dangerous areas.
-- Hidden Asset: Roark Garnet recognizes Jimmy’s raw aptitude and occasionally lets him “shadow‑pilot” under supervision.
Move: 10
Force Sensitive? No
Force Points: 1
Dark Side Points: 0
Character Points: 5
Equipment: Oversized flight goggles (hand‑me‑down from Johnny), child‑sized hold‑out blaster (3D damage), scavenged multitool (counts as basic tool kit), satchel with datapad, snub commlink, and ration packs, worn spacer’s jacket (no armor value, many pockets)
Background
Jimmy Marbels bolted from a dreary frontier settlement, clutching a holo of his brother Johnny—a decorated starfighter pilot he idolizes. Stowing away on cargo haulers, Jimmy finally crossed paths with smuggler Roark Garnet during the war. Impressed by the kid’s nerve and cockpit savvy, Garnet let him co‑pilot for a jump (with safety protocols engaged). Jimmy now tags along, believing every hyperspace route might lead to Johnny—and learning the ropes of life among rogues and Rebels.
Personality
Restless, upbeat, and hopelessly inquisitive. Jimmy masks loneliness with bold talk and is fearless when a console or control yoke is within reach. Quick to trust kind strangers, but quicker to prove himself useful.
Objectives
-- Track down his brother and fly at his side.
-- Master real piloting under Garnet’s tutelage.
-- One day own a nimble starfighter of his own.
