Background (list the history of your character here. Created Characters Must Be Thorough!): Myn Donos is a Corellian male, flying an X-Wing as leader of Talon Squadron. As a Lieutenant with the New Republic, Donos rose rapidly through Starfighter training school and was given command of Talon Squadron upon graduation. Prior to his New Republic military service, Donos was awarded the prestigious Corellian Bloodstripes by the Corellian military for conspicuous gallantry.

Character Personality (Created Characters Must Be Thorough! Give a solid description on how your character acts, their morals, etc): Donos, despite been a brilliant pilot, has often languished in the realms of mediocrity. Not particularly, warm, tender or emotive, he is a consumate professional, devoting himself entirely to his job. Perhaps this is most apparent in the fact that his closest friend is an astromech droid.

Why have you chosen this character, and what are your plans for them: Wraith Squadron are awesome, though I want to build to them being formed. I want to show Donos' ascension, his downfall and the trials of being a soldier and a hero throughout the rigours of war.

Sample Post (write a sample post that is at least 4 paragraphs long and containing at least 3 lines of dialogue):
Myn pushed the nose of the X-wing down, yanking the fighter round, twisting to intercept the TIE fighter and blasting at it in the turn. Then he hauled tightly away from the debris, pulling up to pirouette towards another target as the Imperial fighter erupted in a blossom of fire and wreckage. The grey/blue bulk of the planet turned, blocking out the stars ahead of him. A laser bolt streaked left to right beneath the nose, closely followed by a TIE trailed by an X-wing, guns blazing. Myn twisted his fighter to follow, but a further bloom of fire announced the Imperial's demise. The other X-wing pulled out, spiralling past the wreckage and back into the fray
Myn yanked his fighter round, scanning the starscape for the remaining Imperials. Off to the right he saw a T-65 bearing down on a TIE that had locked-on to one of the rookies. Wingman gone, the intercepting Alliance fighter was oblivious to the two other Imperials moving in behind him.
"Talon Two!" Myn snapped in warning, spinning his fighter to intercept,
"Pull out! Two on your tail!" Twos X-wing flipped and turned... a heartbeat too late. The leading Imperial fired, destroying the last remnants of the X-wing's shields. The second TIE lined the X-wing up and fired, catching the starboard wings and the tail and sending bright green bolts of death that turned the fighter into a ball of flame.
Behind Donos, three more TIEs lined him up. Shiner, his trusty R2, tootled and screamed a warning, but it was too little too late. The TIEs opened up and stole his shields in a heavy barrage of laser fire. Myn yanked on the yoke in a desperate evasive manoeuvre and managed to avoid the worst of a second volley. Two bolts clipped a wing though and Shiner screamed once more.
Keep it easy, Talon Leader. We've got your back!
From behind the attack, Talons Four and Eight flashed through with a sweeping pincer movement, wiping the TIEs from the fight.
With no time to thank his wingmen, Myn Donos swore, a wash of dread thumping through his guts as the fighter juddered under the impact. Drunkenly, it swung to the left before lurching downwards, the upper starboard engine spewing debris. Shiner howled into the cacophony of audio alarms.
Panic began to push at him as he heard Fours voice in his ear piece suddenly drowned out, a panel behind and to the left exploding in a shower of sparks. He flinched then swore again as the X-wing rocked under another volley of Imperial fire that pushed the fighter into a lazy, tumbling spin. Myn fought to right the fighter, struggling with the controls. But the damaged lower engine shrieked in final protest, tightening the fighter further into the spin as it blew out.
Two TIEs screamed overhead, turning back for the kill. One shattered suddenly into a ball of flame as Fours aim found its mark. The other abruptly sheered away, twisting and writhing in an evasive pattern that did nothing to shake Fours pursuing X-wing.
Four caught the TIEs and pulled the nose round, hard, flipping his fighter in a tight arc towards Myns X-wing. The ship was spinning out of control, tumbling towards the planet. Sparks flared, sizzling across the remains of the ruptured starboard engines that still spewed fragments of debris.
"Talon Leader!" he yelled frantically,
"Eject! Eject! Eject!"
