CT Snek CPT-2458 (RP)

"*By all counts it shouldn't have worked, yet it did and that's the important part of this whole thing*"
―CT-2458 'Snek', after losing a wing and landing gear on an ARC-170 and landing safelyCT 2458, though his preferred name is 'Snek', is a clone paratrooper belonging to the ranks of the 7th Sky Corps. He has quickly began making a name for himself, having been part of the force attempting to take over the Airbase Tower on Umbara as well as having training sessions with every clone who would agree, having sparred against Alpha and doing decently well by using his specialisation in air combat to his advantage. He shows a remarkable affinity for flying, grasping most concepts and skills at a fundamental level much quicker than his peers. Having a very strong moral compass, he is not happy and refuses to let things happen unless there is no way he can stop it.

"*Who am I? I'm the guy who just saved your ass, so please, get out of here before I have to save it again*"
―CT-2458 'Snek'
### Kamino

Born and raised on Kamino, Snek specialised into, and had a major passion for, flying. He didn't care whether it was piloting a dropship to land some support for his brothers or jump out of one of these drop ships and hot drop towards the ground, using his jetpack and backup parachute to land and fight whatever he was deployed against in the training simulations.

#### The Transport Incident

Snek was one of a few clone paratroopers who were onboard a dropship heading towards another city when their engine caught fire, meaning that they were going to go straight into the vast ocean below, trapped in a ship which would provide minimal protection against the crushing currents of Kaminoan waters. The pilot tried to steer the ship towards the nearest land, moving them significantly closer too the landing pad before BOOM! and the entire wing rocked with the explosion before being torn off the ship. The paratroopers all put on their equipment and launched themselves out the ship, after the pilot told them all to go, as they were one parachute to short to get every clone aboard to safety. Snek didn't want the clone to sacrifice himself, instead he offered to take his place, though he was quickly told to shut up by his squad lead who pushed him out the ship and towards the landing pad. As every parachute goes up, one doesn't, Snek's parachute had a fault, and his backup parachute was back at base as Snek didn't think he would need it. Snek's squad lead, a man who Snek idolised hooked on Snek to his parachute and looked out towards the landing pad, judging the distance and smiling. "You have a good life ahead of you bud" and then, he fell into the writhing waters, disappearing into his watery grave forever. Snek made it home, the sacrifice that the clone made having a profound effect on Snek and creating this ideology inside Snek where the many is worth more than the few and that you must save anyone in need of saving.

### Umbara

#### Arrival

Snek landed on Umbara with the rest of the 7th Sky Corps, being immediately deployed into the field to disable the communications centre. He, and the rest of the 7th Sky Corps, headed off towards the communication centre though they were as quiet as possible. Snek used the overhead foliage to move across the forest, as it would be safer and allows him to serve in a more recon focused role. It turns out that a large chunk of the 7th Sky Corps moving across the forest wasn't very quiet as they were soon attacked and Snek went MIA during the final parts off the mission though he was last seen humming a song before his disappearance.

#### Time at 7th Outpost Alpha

Snek spent much of his time at Outpost Alpha fortifying its grounds and mapping the area surrounding the outpost. Using this knowledge, he was able to add more fortifications and discover new routes which the Umbarans could use to assault Alpha. He spent time talking to the others in the 7th mainly talking too another Snek, though this one was a basilisk droid made sentient by Obsidian. Him and Snek became better friends here, the basilisk telling stories and reminiscing about his past, and Snek agreed to go with the Basilisk Droid to go to Jakuu and Mandalore in an attempt to find Obsidian someday. Snek also spent time debating Alpha about armour colours, and how these brightly coloured clones are just normal clones screaming come shoot me, and after this point, Alpha questioned what Sneks rank was in the group, and upon learning his rank at this stage, was quite surprised and said that Snek had a tactical mind.

#### Assault on 7th Outpost Alpha

Snek did not play much of a role in the battle himself, being pre occupied elsewhere, and was only able to assist the defence himself near the end of the raid, when the base was in ruins. However, he still played a rather large role in terms of his actions before the assault, the maps he created and the fortifications were of great assistance to the 7th defenders, providing more accurate information on where the enemy would likely be and saving lives behind cover.

#### 7th Occupation of Umbaran Airbase

Snek was also part of the force heading towards the Umbaran Airbase to occupy it and erase the Umbaran air superiority. He was told the plan along with every soldier and expressed his doubts over sending their forces through the heavily fortified main gate which was simply waved away as the Umbarans would not expect a clone assault force at this time. Despite his feelings, he listened to the general and followed his plan along with everyone else.

Then the tanks came out of nowhere, everything went to hell. Explosions and shouting, all at once cluttering the silence that was as thick as Umbarans were deadly. Going from the soft susurrus of movement to the chaotic cacophony of war was so sudden it took him a moment to take it all in. Even while his mind lagged behind and tried to understand what was going on his body got to work in the fighting. He flew up in the air, grabbing the attention of a few tanks, as he fired relentlessly into his adversaries to distract them from the vulnerable ground forces. He made many evasive manoeuvres, but it was not enough, and he took a shot straight through the arm. Remaining up in the air despite his injuries, he kept their attention as long as he could before landing and getting himself healed by a medic once he made sure that he wouldn't take aid needed from ones worse off than him.

He would miss the assault on the gate while he was being healed, but he walked through those gates not long after they fell, the carnage and death that lay about him would stick in his mind forever. He quickly entered the airbase and began assisting the others of clearing it off resistance apart from the tower and the hangar, which the 501st were to take over and control. The 7th cleared all the resistance outside, including Umbaran air support which were decimating even more GAR forces in the airbase before Snek and the others took them down with rocket launchers. Then once more the calm turned into carnage as the hangar went up in a fiery explosion and the remnants of the 501st sprinting out the hangar fire licking their boots.

Then the assault on the tower began, the first floor taken was a bloody massacre, as both clones and Umbarans were shot down across a tight hall, the only thing at the end of a hall was an elevator which hooked up to every floor of the tower including the command station. The GAR forces slowly gained ground in the corridor paved with the blood of friends and foes alike, just another hellish landscape on this hellish planet. But despite it all they persevered and took the corridor, stained as it was. Snek and a few of the Sergeants entered the lift to the next floor, Snek formulating and relaying a plan to his cohorts before opening the elevator door and throwing a flashbang each into the room, blinding and disorientating the defenders making it much easier for Snek and the rest of their team to quickly wipe out as many Umbarans as possible in the shortest time, securing a new room with only one casualty. Snek and another clone equipped a jetpack each and walked to a window on this floor and smashed it through before flying to the very top of the airbase tower where the Major awaited them.

Busting through the windows, each of the two clones lit up the distracted Umbaran soldiers, though the Umbaran Commandos, easily the biggest threat there evaded them like they were nothing. Each clone took on one of the commandos while they bought time for reinforcements to move up the elevator and give them fire support. Low and behold, they did though only a single clone came up the elevator. This clone bought Snek enough time for him to be able to accurately surmise that something was up with the Major, believing it to be that the Major had some kind of bomb before Snek was accidentally stunned by an ally and then seemingly executed by the Major with a single shot through the skull. Sadly for us, Snek had reinforced his helmet beforehand and so was only knocked out instead of killed by the Major.

#### Time spent in 7th Airbase

Snek spent most of his time while in the 7th airbase planning new ways in which fortifications could be added to the airbase and drawing maps of the surrounding land, highlighting potential attack points. Snek also spent some more time talking to the Basilisk Droid, being given the blueprints to some claws that Obsidian designed which Snek is now working on recreating and adding to his own gauntlets. Snek also pitched an idea to the basilisk droid, why not free the others of your kin and bring every basilisk droid into sentience like you are. This was a good bonding point between the two in the clones mind, as it means the droid would never feel lonely once the war is over, having its own kin to go back too and uplift should Snek ever wish to leave the GAR and go back to Mandalore. Snek has created the claws and added them to his own gauntlets completely during this time and began testing their effectiveness on some of the plant life around the base, admiring the way how they cut, though they did get stuck inside of a tree once.

### The Departure to the Universe of Fracture

The most significant event in Sneks life, this was when Snek and a few other clones held off a horde of hostile droids owned by Abeloth such as Magna Guards, B2 battle droids and B3 battle droids. Battling upon the surface of Iego, they valiantly held the line to make sure nothing slipped past though they were losing forces rapidly and there was no end in sight to the approaching droids. But when the battle was at its climax and the clone forces were threatened the most, the clones disappeared, the 501st succeeding in their mission and an Abeloth body meetings its end, the 7th Sky Corps being launched into another universe, into another time.

## Biography (Fracture)

### Source Iego

Upon his arrival on source Iego, Snek immeidately set upon burying the dead, trusting his COs to have a plan to what to do next, the NR arriving not long after. Sneks first interaction with someone other than Pong Krell happened soon after, where he met Eliza, not initially trusting the strange woman. The NR and Eliza persuaded the commanders of the 7th to join the New Republic, where they were stationed on Mon Cala for some rest and relaxation while they accilmated.

### Mon Cala

Not much happened on Mon Cala, other than Snek being incredibly bored and spending all of his tie drawing maps and parachuting off high locations. That is until he was invited to go too Mandalore, unaware of what he was going to really get himself into on Mandalore.

### Mandalore

Snek only was on Mandalore a short time, pretending to be a tourist as he wandered the capital, looking over the various landmarks and taking pictures, when Jesse found him, taking him aside to talk to him before Snek was pulled through a rift created by Eliza too the planet of Ordo

### Ordo

Snek was very confused during his first portal travel, but he later got used too the sensation.

## Relationships

"*Hey, you. You're finally awake. You got caught with us in the ambush trying to take the airbase right?*"
―CT-2458 'Snek', talking to an injured amnesiac clone on Umbara
#### Clones:

Snek heavily respects every one of his commanders, though he doesn't see them as much more than his CO, perhaps when he speaks to them more he shall see them better.

Snek cares very deeply for any men under his command, any deaths that occur because of him hit him massively.

Snek is good friends with Obsidian, the pair working together often on long engineering projects, and commonly share stores such as how Obsidian lost her legs. They act as each other's bouncing boards as they do their best on whatever operation they're on.

#### Jedi:

Snek has a good opinion of the Jedi, them being a foundational member of his Corps, and seeing the work that Hett put in to save him, this has been reienforced.

Snek greatly respects Hett, the Knight being one of the few people Snek would speak too if he had a problem, Hett having clearly over exerted himself in the past to try and save him after coming back to Vulcana.

Snek does not like Eliza, thinking that she doesn't care for the clones and sees them as something to dispose of as he feels like she has betrayed him, having pushed him into a portal to Vulcana, leaving him to die and she did not apologise to the clone for weeks.

#### Droids:

Snek and Snek get along quite well, respecting each other and are great friends who have told stories of their past and seem quite happy to sit and chat for hours.

Snek and George get on alright, they have only spoke a few times and their relationship is sure to grow stronger the more they talk to each other.

## Personality

"*Well, if we update every basilisk with the software changes Obsidian did to you, we could free every single one of your kind!*"
―CT-2458 'Snek', talking to Snek about freeing the Basilisk DroidsSnek has shown to be a fairly relaxed clone, happily chatting to anyone during any scenario, though the more tense the situation the worse his small talk is. Hating being bored, Snek will do anything to attempt to relieve his boredom, even challenging Alpha-17 to a spar and requesting a spar against a basilisk droid despite that being a horrible idea. He always attempts to do his best and is happy to give his life for the Republic, and for his friends. He believes that every person has a shred of good, though this belief is overshadowed by the fact of how much of an absolute dick he can be to anyone who he feels has betrayed him in some way, though he will fight along side them or save them like they were any other life in need of saving. No person is too far gone, no life is worth less than another. He has a mindset which is dedicated to the belief that the needs of the many trump the needs of the one, Though this has never shown yet in any psyche evaluations it is important to him enough that he will take stupid risks and be a large distraction so others in his group survive, as evidenced on Umbara against the ambush of tanks. He can be seen as very work focused though he does have a much more joyous and jokey side which blooms in the time after a stressful situation, perhaps as a coping mechanism. This has somewhat changed in recent time, having become overly dedicated to his work, at the deficit of himself and his relationship with others.

## Skills

Snek uses a wide variety of tools and weapons during both combat and his downtime. He is quite a competent flyer, being able to use both a jetpack and a ship to great effect, even understanding how both bombers and fighters work and how he would fly them that he was able to predict how the Umbarans would fly their ships and was able to blow them up with a single rocket. He has created a set of clawed gauntlets to improve the damage he deals in CQC, showing he is a capable welder and has sparred against Alpha in CQC doing decently. He is competent with his rifle work, though he prefers lighter weapons over the heavier ones, as they are easier to use and manoeuvre while flying around the battlefield. Snek specialises more in aerial hand to hand than he does ground hand to hand, leaving him at a disadvantage while on the ground and under pressure. However, this knowledge of flying is being used much less now, instead focusing on his engineering capabilities, having designed and created his own models of drones, and is now focusing on building his own set of power armour.

## Hobbies

Snek has a few hobbies he devotes his free time too, them being flying, cartography and robotics, though since his deployment on source Ordo he has been unable to fly for a long time, instead channelling all of his time and energy into his passion for robotics, spending many hours building drones and building his own production rig for them. He commonly spends time working on Snek the Basilisk, having fitted him with numerous upgrades and doing most of his maintenance alongside Obsidian and Theta.

## Beliefs

Snek believes in the Republic, and how it protects the many worlds that are part of it, as well as helping worlds that are not part of the Republic, liberating them from tyrants and warlords. He believes that out of every faction in the galaxy, the Republic is the one who is morally right and that while the CIS thinks they are right, their method of proving it, all-out war, is not the way a group should make its points. Snek believes, well he knows, that the GS is just a massive band of criminals and thus despises them and what they do to the worlds they hold. The EE are also despised, the Sith being tyrants goes against everything he stands for, and thus he believes they should be captured and held responsible for their crimes.

Since his move to the Universe of Fracture, he has learnt about the Empire and the New Republic, now being officially hired by the NR. He supports the NR whole heartedly, them being a better version of what he used to be a part of, and he dislikes the Empire for their tyranny over their planets and their xenophobia.
