## Background

He was born as a slave with no family on the desert planet of Tatooine. Blitz was just like any slave. He expected to do his work, no questioning and defying the master. Eat what you are eating and be helpful. He thought that if he showed more value in any other skills besides physical labor, he didn't know what he would get. He knew that if you do something quickly and effectively, you get no problems, no punishment. So he attuned so much as a slave that he didn't look at the master's face or their name, just that another slave would say "the master requests" so and so. Only their voice of satisfaction from completing tasks was recognizable, and he didn't even know if they were male or female, just a sizeable fat body.

Blitz took an interest in engineering. He got that interest from witnessing Jawas work on their Sandcrawler or taking apart droids and parts of ships when he was out for errands around ten years old. He took an interest in the Jawas and their mechanic skills. It was the light of sparks that got Blitz interested. Thanks to a broken head and no body of a protocol droid present in the Jawas' trades, he negotiated with the Jawas to teach them their mechanical ways. Jawas heard that Blitz's master bought a mudhorn and its few eggs for their fight pit. The Jawas negotiated that they would teach him their skills if he brought a mudhorn egg. So Blitz agrees and successfully swaps 2 of the eggs with rocks and he didn't get caught.

The Jawas were ecstatic! They only asked for one egg, but two were unexpected. Blitz now learned of mechanics as well as the cybernetics in droids. So he grew very accustomed to the Jawas that not only did he realize their language but was a part of their mischief of taking and dismantling leftover ships and droids. Blitz brought his own robe to disguise himself among the Jawas in their misconduct in his free time when the master did not need his services which were only 2 hours. Before, he wanted to learn about mechanics to be helpful to master, but now he knew about it out of his own volition and desire to be with the Jawas. One year later, Blitz was 11 years old and was sleep-deprived as he recently began sacrificing 2 hours of sleep to spend time with Jawas.

Then one day, a 20-year-old light blue-skinned Twi'lek engineer named Nima traveled to Tatooine for her requested skills as a mechanic. She landed her ship many miles away from a soon-approaching Sandcrawler's path, unknowing that it was there. She took out a speeder from her ship, the HWK-290 light freighter, and took off. Around 30 minutes later, the Jawas saw the valuable ship, and as all Jawas do, they tried to scavenge much of the ship. Still, after a few minutes, Nima saw her ship next to an enormous Sandcrawler, and knowing Jawas, she sped up and fired some warning shots from her speeder. Jawas dropped the ship parts and ran to their Sandcrawler. Blitz, sleep deprived, was slow to react and, realizing what was going on, began to run, but Nima dismounted from her speeder and caught Blitz by the hood. Nima shouted some threats, and the Jawas very much cared for Blitz and were still indebted to him for two of the mudhorn eggs he stole for them. So they negotiated as Blitz translated for them to let Blitz go, and they'll return all the ship parts. After returning all the ship parts, Nima held onto Blitz and saw he was human and asked where his parents were. Blitz replied with no parents and pleaded not to tell his master for the trouble he was causing and that he'd help put her ship parts back where they belong. Nima was shocked to hear the word "master" from this young kid's mouth and asked, "you're a slave?" Blitz nodded in reply. Nima put Blitz down and took Blitz's offer to help put her ship's parts back, and Blitz told his Jawa friends that he'd be fine and support the woman with her ship, and he'd negotiate with the woman to bring him back to his master's home. The Jawas left, and Blitz helped Nima with fixing her ship. Nima saw he was sleep-deprived and thought he must be overworking for his master. She was also impressed that he was skilled in putting the parts back in place with no issue. It took some time to finish, and because of that, Blitz was anxious because he was gone too long from the master's home, and he would receive punishment, but Nima assured him he'd talk with his master and sort things out. Her words didn't confirm him. Blitz gave Nima directions and landed. When they returned to his master's home, the master and some servants were furious that Blitz was absent, and they assumed he escaped and was about to activate the device put in slaves that kills them if they ran. Nima negotiated that she found him exhausted and brought him back here. Nima attempted to give a few hundred credits not to punish his slave because he was about to return. But it was in vain, and Blitz was still punished by getting whipped. Before the servants took Blitz to get punished, Nima quickly whispered that she'd be back to help and walked away. Blitz didn't know what she meant, and Blitz was whipped for 2 hours straight. The next day, Nima returned and offered to buy Blitz for 20,000 credits, and the master was surprised and accepted the offer.

Nima removed the device that killed slaves from escaping on Blitz, and Blitz asked, "Why did she come back for him?" She replied, "I was a slave once, and you know how your master treats you compared to how hard you work for your master. I know you are confused because I felt the same from others' compassion for me. I see your potential, and you will not fully unleash your skills if you continue being a slave. You will also have a better life than being a slave on Tatooine." They then introduced their names to each other, and Nima took Blitz to her shop on Corelia. It took time for Blitz to assimilate to life, not being a slave. He had to learn what bathe means and not drink the water and not eat the soap even though it smells nice. Blitz also had to understand the concept of sleeping on the bed. As well as what a bed is since he slept on the floor for all of his life. There was also a time when Nima hugged Blitz to comfort him and forgive him for any mistakes Blitz made, but he immediately pulled away because her hug felt warm, and the warmth reminded him of the hot weather of Tatooine. He thought he should receive punishment, but Nima taught him forgiveness and how when you make mistakes, it's a new lesson learned and that forgiveness promotes one to do better, and how punishment isn't the "only" solution to improve one's mistakes. He eventually understood the concept of hugs, and he loves them whenever Nima hugs him. It also took time for him to realize that he is not a slave here. He is Blitz, the mechanic, and loved younger brother of Nima. He had to learn he no longer needs to be obedient but thrive on being a better individual than now. He also experienced what it's like to feel full from eating. After a few days of experiencing these things, he cried tears of joy, and when Nima hugged him, it was the first time he didn't pull away from a hug. The warm feeling of Nima's hug felt comforting to him now, and he was crying for 30 minutes before calming himself a bit. After some time, Nima properly taught Blitz the words that represented his current emotions. She taught him that he was feeling happy in his current situation and after sharing his experiences as a slave and how he got the Jawas to teach him, mechanics. She told him that the moment where he was stealing the mudhorn eggs was called thrill, something she has also experienced while stealing things. Blitz also finally got some proper sleep and is no longer in a state of being sleep-deprived.

After a few years of learning with Nima and helping her run her engineer shop on Corellia, Blitz learned much from Nima. He knew some of the advanced mechanics and cybernetics of droids since there were a few astromechs and maintenance droids. He also learned the basics of piloting starships and speeders and their weapons and splicing. He witnessed how Nima negotiated in her shop and was able to pick up a few skills from watching her. He also learned a bit of astrogation whenever traveling the galaxy. From these skills he knew, he was able to return to his Jawa friends of Tatooine and get some good deals with mechanical parts, and he wanted a cloak like the Jawas since the cloaks are specially designed to help them travel through harsh heat conditions. So the Jawas were able to make one of his size now that he has grown after a few years.

Now, Blitz is 19 years old, and Nima is 28 years old. Blitz found two offers from the CIS that required mechanics to run a section of a factory in Xeosis and the Republic to repair the turret systems on Xeosis. Blitz saw how much more the CIS was paying than the Republic. Hence, he revealed the CIS offer to Nima, and she was a little reluctant since the war between the Republic and CIS was going on, so there may be a potential danger, but there are a lot of droids protecting the facility. So she warned Blitz of the demanding success that the CIS needs, so Blitz needs to work hard and not afford to make mistakes, and they do not forgive as she is and so she allowed Blitz to go so she gave Blitz a quick kiss on the forehead and waved goodbye until the job is finished. So Blitz is now on transport to Xeosis, answering the demand of mechanics in Xeosis for the CIS. He was determined to not only work but also learn. After all, it's the first time he has worked somewhere besides Nima's shop.

## Personality Traits

Blitz is a determined boy, eager to do his best 100% and always learning from experience remembering his sister Nima's words: A mistake made is a lesson learned. Although he hasn't experienced conflict personally but he is aware of it and will do what he can to meet people's expectations while at the same time knowing he is doing this to be better Blitz he can be. Learning from Nima on how to be a respectful business partner and know when to be assertive if he has any complaints. In his mind he remembers he is no longer a slave. Remember he is Blitz, a skilled mechanic and proud younger brother of Nima. So you better not look down on him so often. There are times when he gets a bit greedy from time to time whenever he is scavenging for parts or if there's an opportunity for more he'll take it. If he's anywhere hot that reminds him of Tatooine, he will be open about it and complain. From his time with Jawas there are times where he is mischievous and sarcastic but in the end he is a good person to have as an acquaintance or friend.
