Personality
Draken is a very serious man when on duty and very playful when off duty. Intelligent with a very quick wit, he can make easy conversation in any situation. Calm under pressure, he can take dire situations in stride and easily command if warranted.
He is an avid reader, enjoying the commentaries of the galaxies historians and a good murder mystery. He loves a good political conversation, but refuses to trust anyone who vehemently speaks against the Empire. He has been known to walk away from situations because if it.
Draken is loyal to the Empire, to the crew under his command and to his commanding officer. He does not fear questioning his commanding officer in private if he does agree to something or feels that the crew will be put in danger, but he will defer to his captain if the reasonings behind his commands are sound.
His biggest weakness: Corellian Ale. When Draken imbibes just a little too much, he becomes less than professional and has a bad habit of grabbing the microphone from the stage of the cantina he's standing in and singing very off key karoake.
He has an eye for the ladies, but when involved with one, he's hers 100%. He enjoys reading them poetry, cooking elaborate dinners, and making sure they enjoy themselves immensely in all respects.
History
Growing up on Corellia, Draken had a very average life. His younger brother was born a few years after him and their parents were both hard working administrative assistants for the military academy there. They lived comfortably, not poor, not rich, and Draken knew at an early age that a military career would be for him. There was no way his parents could put both sons through a university, and as his brother was sickly, Draken knew at a young age that he would walk a military path.
His parents enrolled him in the military school and he made his way from the age of elven through eighteen all the way through it. He was an average student and sometimes got into trouble for the typical teenage fighting that occered, but other than that, his formative years were somewhat boring. He did however like tactics and was deemed a good leader by his peers. So good,that some of his friends convinced him to play shockball. Draken became his military high schools team captain his sophomore year and helped lead them to numerous victories.
Draken went on the attend the Republic Naval Academy. He struggled with some classes and excelled at others, and found that he enjoyed some of the more physical classes, such as hand-to-hand combat. He was fascinated with the many political treaties of the various governments that made up the galaxy and spent plenty of hours in debate with his peers and instructors. He also found that he was good at languages, and easily picked up the native languages of the Hutts and Sullustans, able to speak and understand both easily.
Discipline was not a problem for Draken and he reveled in the structure of the millitary. He graduated from the academy in the top quarter of his class and was immediately assigned to a capital ship as an ensign. He was assigend to the tactical station and even though his first ship did not see much action, he was transferred to another after a few years of duty.
The second ship he served on was a Corvette that was routine patrol when the reactors became unstable. Draken’s captain and superior officers became ill with radiation sickness, leaving Draken the only bridge member able to take command. Using his head and remaining calm, he reassigned as many members of the crew that were still able to function and limped the ship back to Coruscant. His quick actions saved all but ten members of the crew that had been exposed to the radiation, one of which was the XO. Draken’s captain promoted him to first officer where he served until recently.
The change in the government had no real effect on Draken. As long as he was serving in the Navy, he didn’t really care who was in charge. It was part of his duty to protect the government and the innocent citizens of the galaxy from those who wished to harm them. When Draken's CO decided to retire, he requested a transfer to the ISD Prosector, becoming First Officer under the command of Commodore Viktor Westar.
Although Draken was offered a command of his own, he refused, citing that serving under Commodore Westar was an honor.
Possessions:
Standard military gear as befits an officer of his station, a sizable bank account of credits on his home planet of Corellia, miscellaneous knick-knacks he has collected from his travels, civilian clothing, various books of poetry and cooking, and a bantha fur coat for time spent on snow-bound planets.
