COMMANDER JADEN T. LUKA
37 :: Alliance of Free Planets :: Novgorod XO / A-Wing Pilot
Currently on the Novgorod (or Jovan Station)
Character Background
Jaden joined the Stormtrooper Corps to escape jail time after a string of joyriding incidents.
He served as a Scout Trooper for several years, and was at one time garrisoned on Naboo.
At the end of his mandatory service period he bought a YT-2000, the Astral Queen, and became a "legitimate" transport pilot.
He joined the Alliance after being saved from an Imperial patrol and became a pilot, flying with Valkyrie and later Rogue Squadron.
After the Treaty, he was reassigned to the Alliance Frigate Novgorod as XO, and nominally leads the ship's fighter contingent.
Raw Material
Jaden's deep dark secret is that he's lonely. Every time his life changes, he loses any friends that he had previously. He has an odd duality: he is eager to be friendly and get acquainted with new people, but also deeply reluctant to let anyone get close enough. His biggest fear is being forgotten, and never having left his mark on anyone or anything.
Jaden can come off as somewhat obsessive about starfighters (to the extent of carrying photos of fighters past, and building most of his metaphors around starfighter combat), but in reality he is merely embracing the fact that he finally found something he's good at. He is eager to play the part of the suave, confident fighter pilot, because that's easier than looking inward and working out how to fully be himself.
Jaden is the A-Wing's biggest advocate, perhaps because it reminds him of the speeders he used to "borrow". He believes X-Wings are deeply overrated, and is secretly glad that the Alliance's struggle with astromech supplies is forcing them to move away from their X-Wing obsession. He does at least consider the X-Wing flyable, though: he has never flown a B-Wing, and plans to preserve that status to his grave.
He is obsessed with bread, and sees it as an underappreciated window into interstellar anthropology.
Plot Ideas
Getting to know Novgorod crew peeps.
Downtime shenanigans on Jovan Station. Nudity optional, but preferred.
Pushing Jaden outside his comfort zone. Threads that involve him relying on his other skills (like Scout Trooper training), or even situations where he is completely helpless and has to rely on others rather than himself.
Situations that force him to confront his past. He doesn't like being reminded that he was an Imperial, and he doesn't like talking about (or thinking about) home and family. He's not fond of being reminded of his immediate past either, particularly if it involves friends/colleagues he's fallen out of touch with.
Awkward dates - the more comically bad the better. Jaden is looking for love, and is avoiding all the wrong places by a very strategic process of elimination. He will try anything once, and is unlikely to reject the advances of anyone (or anything). Hell, he'd probably agree to go on a date with a droid, if one was feeling frisky.
Existing Relationships
Ethan Tahmores - Former Garrison Commander during Jaden's time on Naboo.
John Glayde - Jaden's former NCO from the Scout Troopers. One of the few Imperials Jaden ever liked.
Amos Iakona - Fellow Trooper, and business partner on the Astral Queen. Currently a Jedi, who Jaden doesn't see much.
Mara Tallen - (details redacted: what happens on Christophsis stays on Christophsis). Now a crewmate on the Novgorod.
Vansen Tyree - The officer who recruited Jaden for the Rebellion. The closest thing he has to a father figure.
Oolan Valx'ir - Jaden's wingman for most of his Alliance career. Currently part of the Novgorod crew.
Cirrsseeto Quez - Jaden's Captain. More of a friend than Jaden is willing to admit.
Current Plots
Brother's Keeper (https://theholo.net/forum/showthread.php?56078-Brother-s-Keeper) - Luka meets T'yeellaa Meorrrei. He is cool, suave, and not remotely awkward.

Novgorod: Here Kitty Kitty (https://theholo.net/forum/showthread.php?56574-Novgorod-Here-Kitty-Kitty) - Time spent getting reacquainted with Mara Tallen turns into a new mission involving space cats.
Novgorod: Road Not Taken (https://theholo.net/forum/showthread.php?56636-Novgorod-Road-Not-Taken) - Luka is affected by an alien organism, and relives parts of his past.
Affluenza Epidemic (https://theholo.net/forum/showthread.php?56615-Affluenza-Epidemic) - Jaden has an "interesting" (possibly naked?) encounter with Rai'faani Meorrrei.
Valkyrie One (https://theholo.net/forum/showthread.php?57367-Valkyrie-One) - A routine space commute with Captain Quez goes horribly wrong.
Novgorod: Prototypical Behaviour (https://www.theholo.net/forum/showthread.php?56575-Novgorod-Prototypical-Behaviour) - Jaden & Kala test a new prototype for Incom Koensayr Meorrrei.
