Here are the basics:
Drace Shif, Xexto Ace (Hotshot)
Drace grew up in the shadow of his older brother who became a famous and successful pod-racer. The whole family, the whole neighbourhood, in fact eventually the whole planet knew his name and Drace was always introduced as "Koozo's kid brother". Drace hated it. He avoided pod-racing, despite loving the speed and excitement, because he knew he would always be compared to Koozo. Instead he flew air speeders, and then spacecraft.
Unfortunately spacecraft racing as a sport was much less well-organised than pod-racing, and was often illegal. It was also very expensive. Koozo gifted an S-type Racing Sloop, the Sleek Teek, to Drace for his 21st birthday and Drace took to the spacelanes. He started to make a name for himself and finally found that he was starting to get out of the shadow of his brother (who nevertheless never let him forget where the Teek came from).
As Drace climbed the ranks he inevitably ended up racing on Nar Shadaa, where he made one too many enemies. Somebody must have considered him a threat, because during a high-G turn while threading some asteroids a power coupling on the Sleek Teek blew, almost killing Drace and costing him everything. His winnings thus far were only enough to pay for his rescue (at an exorbitant price) and he had to take jobs for the Hutts to make ends meet.
Any and all feedback appreciated; I don't mind tailoring the character to suit the group. At the moment he is very much specialised as a piolt and has nothing in the way of other skills, but that can change if need be.
