Lanlif is a blue furred, tall Squib born on the planet of Talus. His father was the former Senator of Corellia and his mother a famous pilot from Ord Mantell, he grew up in an ambitious, strong willed, intelligent family. The dream from his first day of speaking was to learn how to fly a ship like his mother did. It seemed though that the dream only grew over the years, and the talent to do so along with it. Lanlif began working on the mechanics with his mother at the age of 8 and only four years later he was taking swoop bikes on the open land of Talus and flying sessions in it's sky. His mother knew his potential was enough to surpass anything she had created on Ord Mantell, but she also knew he'd be flying away as soon as he came to age.
She was right
When he turned 17 he was off, with only a note left behind to remind his parents that he once existed. Lanlif headed for the best of the best jobs on Coruscant, but he quickly noticed that the dangerous ones were the only ones that he could muster.
Laying in the slums he caught missions such as smuggling, or ambush on planets and normally they didn't end up in that great and for even worst pay. Credits were hard to come by until he bumped heads with one of the best marksman in the galaxy, Tesk Et'las.
The two became partners after a few bar fights together and began taken bounties, and mercenary jobs for the Republic and the black market factons. They managed to hit big on several occasions, but their lucky quickly ran out about 3 years in. It was a smuggling job on Tattoine to Grakko's crew. After the blasters were given, Grakko's crew began shooting. Tesk got hit numerous times and died instantly before Lanlif's eyes.
The young Squib manage to scurry away, but the cost was his ship and best friend. After the turmoil the blue furred pilot reached into his credit pouch and bought a brand new ship called the Tesk Matter. He has moved back to Coruscant, and has been staying in the slums and middle region of the world metroplis before the Empire has taken over. He is still looking for a job, but he has felt everytime he starts a job he gets a bad feeling and just gives up and leaves..
