Character History
Early Life
Although born on Aleen, Justinios' family immigrated to Coruscant when he was only one year old. His father was able to provide a relatively normal life for his family as a maintenance worker for the local government. Although the elder Drake did experience some discrimination based on his non-human status, his willingness to use his small stature to access the most hard to reach and dangerous areas of Coruscant's infrastructure kept him gainfully employed despite any prejudice. The Drake family did not live an extravagant lifestyle but they never wanted for basic necessities in life and even enjoyed the occasional family vacation.
As a student Justinios was well behaved and performed exceptionally in most classes, especially with regards to exams. His teachers all seemed to struggle in getting Justinios to complete his homework but the young Aleena did just enough that, when paired with his exam scores, he still got above average overall grades in his classes. When Justinios began to look into where he would attend university he hit two roadblocks: his own effort and some lingering non-human bias on the planet. Even after it had officially joined the New Republic most of the leaders in charge of Coruscant's private universities were holdouts of the Imperial era and clung to the old ways. The cost of these schools, and most importantly the lack of tuition assistance made available to non-human students, made it very easy to continue their discrimination. As the Aleena's senior year drew to a close, he had received acceptance to a handful of the school's he had applied to but was not able to afford to attend any of them.
Desperate to attend post-secondary school Justinios for admittance at his regional public institution. The Coruscant system of regional colleges requirements were simply the ability to pay the highly subsidized tuition and pass a very simple entrance exam. Justinios attained an almost perfect score on the entrance exam (although to this day he will argue the test was wrong regarding the question he missed) and the cost was so highly subsidized that he was able to attain very low interest loans to cover their cost. Additionally, scoring so high on the entrance exam got the attention of the President of the college who would eventually became a mentor to Justinios for the remainder of his academic career.
