## Biography

### Early Life

#### Childhood

Born in the year 1979 (Earth Years) to a loving family, Denclar (pronounced: Den - Klar) Hayward had a relatively normal childhood on his home planet of Coruscant. Denclar always seemed to be a good child as well as an extremely smart one. The Hayward family were a loving bunch, always looking out for one another in most if not all situations and making sure each other did well. This was something Denclar did tend to stray away from however, as his nature to be self-sufficient did take control in certain situations as he got older.

#### Education

Denclar has very standard education but somehow still excelled. Though Denclar mostly claimed he got there on his own, it is generally accepted that Denclar seeked extra help from his teachers and even people from other schools in exchange for helping them in other ways such as stealing and/or locating stolen items for people. These skills slowly improved over time.

During his schooling life, Denclar was actually very rebellious, not tending to listen to people he deemed unworthy of his attention. Though this would’ve been influenced by his background, this was definitely a personality trait that was unique to him within his family. Denclar was also known to get into fights on occasion under his parent’s noses.

Denclar eventually finished his education, gaining many successful grades before he left. Most of the Hayward family went into academics, his father being a scientist and his mother being a mathematician. Needless to say the family were surprised when Denclar wished to go into the military. Though his parents strongly disagreed, Denclar pleaded claiming he’d become a tactician, which in part was truthful but was mostly a lie to get his parents to allow it.

### The Empire

#### Joining

Denclar, now with his parent’s permission, - which he didn’t even feel he should’ve needed it - then went off to join the Galactic Empire. Denclar was excited. When he was a child he’d always look around and see the Stromtroopers patrolling, simply thinking they looked and still look cool! Denclar eventually managed to sign up, awaiting his time for his acceptance. However, unbenounced to Denclar, he learnt there were trials he’d have to go through to join. Though most children would give up at that point, Denclar’s stubbornness and slight youthful cockyness made him merely excited.

#### Trials

Denclar, by sheer luck, was accepted to partake in the trials. Due to pure natural talent, Denclar was indeed able to pass these tests the Empire gave him with incredible results showing his perfect physicality and mental state for his age. This allowed Denclar to join the Galactic Empire as a foot soldier.

#### Rising the Ranks

Denclar quickly became known as one of the best soldiers in his sector, being a skilled Pilot, Marksman, Jetpack Trooper, Shock Trooper, Scout Trooper; being great at all forms overall. This allowed him to fly up the ranks quickly before he was able to become a higher-trooper. However, it was around this time that he began to grow bored of the lifestyle he had, wanting to choose his own path in the universe. It was also around this time that Denclar dropped his family name of Hayward, seeing as he didn’t like his family nor did he seem very alike to them in any way. At this point, Denclar adopted the surname “Tane”, taken from the surname of the first ever man Denclar killed.

### The Mandalorian

#### Finding Him

Denclar had been planning to get away for some time now, wishing simply to live his own life, but he didn’t have any plans yet so, of course, he couldn’t go anywhere. That was until he got a job to locate and kill an unnamed male Mandalorian, one of the most interesting types of people to Denclar. Mandalorians were so strong and fierce. So powerful. If he was able to kill one, it’d sure be a treat. Maybe even the way he’d get out of the dreaded Empire. Not that he didn’t like the Empire, he merely found it too boring. Too dull. He didn’t care for their ideals either. Control? Not something that interested Denclar. Denclar merely wanted freedom but only for himself. That’s what he strived for.

On his search for this man, Denclar caught wind through word of mouth that a Mandalorian was present on Hoth. With the climate on that planet, finding him could be an issue. Well, for the other soldiers at least. Denclar by this point was nothing short of one of the best hunters in the Galaxy. He’d find the Mandolorian, no problem.

#### 43 Days

Landing on the planet, the small crew led by Tane immediately began to search till night. Tane had a strict way about him. There was no way this Mando was getting away from Tane. One thing Denclar had was his commitment to get the job done, that’s something that'd never change. The small crew moved during the day; during the night. Nearly every hour. They had an entire sector of the planet to search, it was going to take a long time.

In fact, it took 43 days to find the Mandalorian. 43 days of the other troops complaining. 43 days of the weaker of the crew falling over and dying in the thick snow. By the end of the 43 days there were only 3 of them left, including Denclar. It was tragic. Well, to the other two troops it was. But finally, they’d found his spot… Time to act.

#### Death of a Mandalorian

Denclar and the other two troopers were sitting above the entrance to a small cave, the Mando beneath them. It was silent. Denclar would usually have informed his crew of a detailed plan, but that’d take too long. Chances are the Mandalorian already knew the 3 were there. But Denclar had a plan in his head. All he muttered were 3 words: “Keep me covered”.

Then like a slingshot, Tane flew upwards, turning towards the direction of the cave as he fell, launching a grenade as well as blasting his rifle into the cave in an attempt to shoot the Mandalorian, but he already knew they were coming. The Mando, using his grey jetpack (the colour of which matched the rest of the Mando’s armour), flew towards Denclar and slammed him into the snow. Moments before killing him, the other troopers began to fire towards the Mandalorian, successfully throwing him off balance as the true fight commenced.

Their fight then went on for a while. Many blaster shots were fired. A notable moment within the fight was when the Mandalorian managed to blast away Tane’s Snowtrooper helmet before using a large blade he attempted to stab Denclar through the face. However, due to Tane actually fighting back, the Mandalorian only managed to carve large scars around the man’s mouth. These are scars Tane would live with forever more.

Eventually however, Denclar managed to get the upper hand. The Mandalorian appeared to be old, meaning he’d eventually been worn out. This allowed Denclar to raise the Mandalorian’s blade that was on the snow, covered in Tane’s own blood and bring it down through the Mandalorian’s neck… killing him. It was a miracle all the 3 troopers survived against the Mando. He was ruthless. Though, as the other Troops had been trained personally by Tane, it wasn’t surprising to Denclar.

As the helmet of the Mandalorian was removed, being held in Tane’s blood-covered hand, Denclar kept looking at it. It was as if it was a calling. This was his chance to get away from everything. The Imperial enforcement that ruled most of the world, his job as a standard soldier. He could get away. All he had to do was get rid of any witnesses that he was to defect…

As quick as a flash, Tane turned and blasted the other two troops to oblivion with his blaster. It was so quick, so precise. Two shots, two kills. Directly through the heads of both soldiers. No going back now… Tane gave his respects to his brothers in arms whom he’d just killed. It was the only way he could get out. A necessary evil. Danclar then stripped the 3 bodies around him of their armour, weapons, ammunition, everything. Leave the bodies to the Wampas. Denclar loaded everything into a large sack as he slowly made his way back to the ship. But, not everything was in the sack he held. One item was actually being worn by Tane. The helmet of the Mandalorian. This was his new life…

### Stranded

#### First few months

Upon reaching his ship, Denclar was displeased to say the least when he found his ship completely ruined. 43 days worth of snow damage. ‘Those Empire ships were no good for this weather anyway. Should’ve known that’d happen’ he thought to himself. At that moment, Tane knew he’d be on Hoth for a long, long time. He had to use what he could for now.

For the first few months, Tane stayed within the broken ship, preparing everything he could from weather-proof weapons to emergency food to armour. It took a long time and lots of material to perfect the Beskar armour back to perfection, or near enough. He ensured every function was working. As well as this, he used the material from his snow-armour as well as some paint he happened to have on the ship for camouflage use to transform the armour and turn it completely white. Then, he’d begin his travels.

#### Survival

Denclar, being a top soldier, knew of a Rebel post nearby. Well, ‘nearby’ meaning a year long trip through Hoth. It was going to be rough, but nothing Tane couldn’t handle. So, Denclar began his journey. The journey stretched him thin and was extremely troubling for him, but he pushed through to the bitter end.

In fact, many stories, myths and legends arose about Denclar Tane, though not by that name. He was known as the Gunslinger, the White Ghost, the Wraith and many, many more names. He was someone who apparently killed entire fleets of stormtroopers and rebels alike for material. He was even said to have single handedly killed, skinned and eaten a Wampa for food, turning the Wampa skin into a cape of sorts. The most surprising bit of the story? He supposedly didn’t use a single blaster. Merely a dagger. In addition to this story, it is said that Denclar killed everyone he came in contact with, showing his true brute force nature.

#### Reaching the Outpost

Eventually, Tane reached the outpost of the Rebels. It was filled with people and, moreso, ships and supplies. All for the taking. But Tane had to act smartly. He couldn’t take on a whole group, no, a whole base of Rebels single handedly. But, he did need materials and a ship. Hmm…

As Tane approached the base, slowly and with tactics in mind. As he reached the base he saw a ship that caught his eye. An SS-54 Assault Ship. Looked like it’d been stolen by the Rebels and, from what he could tell, they just happened to be loading supplies into it. Today must’ve been Denclar’s lucky day.

##### Taking the SS-Spectre

Tane realised he had two options. One, sneak around the snow; through the trenches, silently, and then get the ship and quickly leave. Or two, run in, guns blazing, kill everyone and take the ship by force… The second option was tempting for sure, but surely the first was the way to go.

Tane began to sneak through the snow, taking out Rebels slowly; picking them off like he was a sniper. His camouflage armour made sneaking easy as anything. And the killing? Well he was already an expert at that. After only around half an hour of getting around the trenches, Tane managed to hop within the ship. Oh, she was beautiful. Perfect size, perfect colour. It was as if the ship was made for him. Denclar immediately grew some kind of connection with the ship, like he had for his Beskar armour. It was as if they were all a part of him…

**“HEY!”** A Rebel cried, a large box of supplies in his hand. Shit, they were still loading the ship! Tane swiftly drew his pistol and blasted the Rebel into his icy grave. But at that point, the alarms had begun to sound. Maybe it wasn’t Tane’s lucky day.

The man ran towards the cock-pit and, due to having amazing flight capabilities, managed to avoid all major attacks from the Rebels as he took off with their ship. He swiftly exited the atmosphere before being able to relax…

He’d done it… Denclar stood up as he walked around his new ship. It was beautiful. Needed a few modifications. Perhaps a hyper-drive. New weapons. Certainly a place to have a mini weapons and armour workshop. But he was happy with this ship. His new home. The SS-Spectre.

### Currently

Now, years later, Denclar is one of the best Mercs and Bounty Hunters in the galaxy. He’ll do anything, at the right price. Be that a favour, money, supplies, anything. Anything Tane needs, he’ll work for it. All that’s important to know is this: Never be on the wrong side of his blaster. You’ll regret it. But, on the up side, you won’t be alive to regret it for long...

## Personality

Denclar is a strong willed man who is ready to do anything for his cause. Though some would call him selfish, Hayward simply looks out for himself, having little to no care for anyone around him. The White Ghost, as he’s known, also has no strict moral compass other than ‘if it’s for him, it’s okay’ (loose quote). This means that Hayward would be perfectly willing to kill, torture, steal or do anything else for his own personal goals. This makes him come off as a harsh but strong individual who is never to be messed with.

## Physical Appearance

Denclar is a Human male who's 6 foot tall and 170 pounds. Beneath his armour he has dark greying hair as well as a grey goatee. In addition, he has brown eyes. A notable feature on his face is that he has scars akin to what's known as a "Glasgow Smile" on Earth, that being two scars either side of his mouth. He got these when he fought and killed a Mandalorian on Hoth.

As for his armour, Denclar wears pure white armour of Beskar, taken from the aforementioned Mandalorian he killed. The armour has has many modifications to ensure it's always in it's best condition. With this he wears a large white jetpack on his back next to his small white cape. The latter is theorised to be made from a Wampa's skin who he killed himself.
