Samson Borrake


 * "I came to bend the throttle off."
 * —Samson Borrake

Samson Borrake is a strictly light-side force user driven greatly by his willpower, despite constantly walking the line between light and dark due to his combat-ready and take-shit-from-no-nibba habits. He's a former Resistance pilot, but still flies for the Hell of it and shall assist the Resistance should it mean fighting off the forces of darkness.

Early Life
Samson Borrake is the son of a former Resistance pilot named Gabriel Borrake. When Samson was 8, he saw his father die in a redirected starfighter crash to prevent the ship from crashing into innocents. Since that day, Samson assumed a bold and overconfident attitude to show the world he wasn't affected by his father's death, something he grew insecure about. His father's heroic sacrifice also served as an inspiration for Samson to choose the path of light rather than dark. Borrake went on to become a test pilot for the Resistance, known for his risk-taking and fearlessness. His mother feared that he would die the same way his father did. One day, after a night of heavy drinking in a cantina, Samson's brother Jacob told him that their mom had died. Samson snapped and publicly punched an officer so he could be dishonorably kicked out of the Resistance instead of quitting, thereon leaving to visit his mother. Sadly, she passed on hours before, and was revealed to have died from her constant worry over Samson.

Samson's family angrily blamed him for his mother's death, but that didn't stop him from doing whatever it took to show the galaxy he wasn't afraid. He was driven to be the greatest in everything and anything, to show no signs of vulnerability or weakness. Although he's afraid that his father died in fear, it'd be hard to tell unless he told you. And by refusing to give into fear, his resulting willpower has allowed him to harness many a light side ability, despite the many failures that came with it.
