- " If you can get the proper definition of trouble, then we can find out who the real troublemakers are. "
- ― Al Sharpton
Carr Cinteroph, a youth leading what most would consider a privileged life, chose to walk away from it all to stay with his older sibling on the Voidbreaker as a crew member and general nuisance. All with his mother's blessing and his older sibling's chagrin. He is a youth craving genuine connections and life more adventurous than any he found available on Seraph.
Character History
Early Childhood
Carr was born in 28 ABY to Aimi Cinteroph(mother) and Cormac Silvera(father) in the UCE. The pair were well off, and Carr was never left wanting for anything in his earlier years. He was accepted into a prestigious private school when he was tested as having a very high intellect. Of course, the money attached to the Silvera name helped.
The Shistavanen fit in well initially; it was not until he was seven years old that issues began to make themselves known. A group of boys he was hanging out with began bullying one of the kids that were accepted to the school purely on intellect; the boy's family was poor. The bullying, both physical and verbal, upset Carr. He did not stop it, though; he walked away. He found out later that a teacher stopped it, and the victim was expelled. No actions were taken against the aggressors. By the age of eight, he had no friends and spent more time on computers and tinkering with small bits of machinery. He could not stand fakers and people that claimed to be his friend and then talked behind his back or tried to take advantage of his status. Computers and machinery did not use him or lie to him. His grades began to slip. He got into fights. By the age of nine, he was suspended for the first time after punching another boy in the face to stop him from bullying a smaller kid. He had snuck up on the aggressors and caught them completely by surprise. The kid he protected still got expelled.
His attitude shifted further, and his attitude snarkier. He was distracted in class, more often than not busying himself studying mechanical diagrams, tech theory and any number of topics unrelated to what the teacher prattled on about. Seven months after the first suspension, when he defended himself from the bullies, he got suspended again. It would not be his last and became the root of his dislike for authority figures until he was finally expelled from the private school at the age of ten when he said what he thought of the school and its teachers and dean; to the dean's face. His father was angry; his mother was understanding and accepting as she always was.
The Siblings
Seito Osada
Carr, by design, did not have anything to do with Saito Osada, his eldest brother and current CEO of some applied sciences corporation. His mother made certain to keep Seito far away. Her youngest son did meet Mune; Carr was seven at the time, and the white-furred Shistavanen, eighteen. They never got very close; the age difference and Mune's not being around. It did not help that Carr's father distrusted Force-users, so there was no love lost between the man and his stepson. Smart kid that Carr was, he picked up on his father's discomfort and contributed to Carr's distrust of his innate Force abilities that had only just begun to manifest. Around the age of ten, he stopped seeing Mune even that much when his sibling left Scholae Palatinae.
Preteens
Kicked out of school, with no friends, and at odds with himself, Carr's attitude did not improve, nor his pension for getting into trouble. It was decided by his mother, after much arguing with her husband, that their son would be sent to live for a time with his sibling, Mune. Carr was not overly thrilled with the decision, but it allowed him to escape, go on an adventure, and maybe forget how lonely he was.
Voidbreaker II
Carr left Seraph behind when he was eleven, joining his sibling on the Voidbreaker II. He was uncertain about what to expect. Mune and their husband met him, and Carr was given the ship tour. The place was beyond anything he could have expected; someone had designed the place with the comfort of the crew in mind. He was blown away. He was further surprised when he was shown to quarters of his own, a short stroll down the hall from Mune's. It was a big show of trust and freedom that he had not expected but appreciated. Over a few days, he met the crew, a unique bunch. Mune encouraged him to get to know people, but it was perhaps people trying to get to know him that encouraged him the most to get over his issues.
Zig Kaliska
Zig Kaliska
The Captain of the Voidbreaker II, when Carr joined his sibling on board. An authority figure that he was prepared to dislike immediately, except she was nothing like he imagined she would be. She treated everyone fairly and like she was on their level, not above them. She had an interesting dynamic and surrounded herself with a crew that was unique and wonderful in its ways. He decided she was someone he wanted to get to know and learn from. He took up tasks around the ship, what Zig Kaliska likely intended to keep him out of trouble; he took them as opportunities to learn and prove himself. Of course, he usually follows it up by doing something ridiculous, like accidentally slicing into Zig's files and stumbling across her fanfiction (he used this to blackmail his way onto the bridge to learn ship operations.) Or taking control of laser turrets on the Voidbreaker II's bridge during a life-and-death battle against Ascendant monstrosities (he argues he at least did a good job! He did not hit any Arconan forces, that's a win!)
Noga and Leda Tenbriss
Carr eventually befriended the Mirialan siblings, Noga and Leda Tenbriss (likely to Ruka's chagrin, he should really learn to control that frown and eye twitch.) They bond over comic books, comic books his sibling, Mune, is more than happy to purchase for him so he may share them with his new friends. Carr also makes every effort to try and teach them about computers, displaying a surprising amount of patience that most would have previously felt him incapable of. He adores Leda so much that he even dances with her at an Arconan costume party (they did not do well.) Whether he danced with Leda to try and endear himself to Noga or Leda is debatable, but Mune theorizes he has a crush on one of them.
Adolescence
A Daring Rescue & The Academy
It was perhaps in part to his sibling's influence that the academy in Estle City agreed to take him, though the truth was that it took very little convincing on Mune's part. Carr's exceptional scoring on entry exams spoke for themselves. The young Shistavanen's attitude remained the primary concern, and his tendency to get into trouble. Carr, however, was in at twelve years old, with students a couple of years older on average. Carr proved up to the challenge.
Some of his earliest professors were often challenged by the intelligent young man, finding more than a few times, their lectures being interrupted by Carr to be corrected or added to, much to their chagrin.
Carr joined his brother during his second year on a trip to Seraph when things got turned upside down. His half-brother, Seito Osada attacked their transport. Caleb was severely wounded. Mune was taken. The young Shistavanen, powerless though he felt, reached out to Arcnona and his friends there. He knew full well Mune would never agree to him putting himself in danger. Carr had had enough of being looked after and protected. The Palatinaean Emperor, Kamjin "Maverick" Lap'lamiz, took some convincing, but agreed to permit the earnest youngster and a small team to operate in the U.C.E. to retrieve the ex-Palatinaean. That did not stop Carr from accidentally breaking the old man's ribs when the man decided to test the boy's resolve. Together, the team made up of the emperor, Eleceos Araave, Doon Sulvir, and Zig Kaliska, would prevail. Mune was not the same, however, and Carr could not help but blame himself for not being able to take decisive action quickly enough.
Carr returned to the academy. He was driven to do better. He wanted to be the one protecting others and be properly helpful to Zig and the crew of the Voidbreaker II. People who had become his family and did not just put up with him, but accepted him. He dialled back on the mischief. He spent more time with Noga and Leda, further developing his feelings for both of his closest friends, though clueless as to what those feelings meant. He also befriended the lazy Selonian, Ro'ki Tel, whose spot at the academy was secured by members of the Voidbreaker II. They were quick friends, Carr finding it to be the easiest thing not to dwell on Ro's past. They now share quarters on the Voidbreaker II when on the ship, and an apartment when on Selen for classes.

Physical Appearance
Carr is above average height for his age, with the promise of being above average as an adult. He has a lean build that could still benefit from toning up, but a regular exercise routine is not something he necessarily feels the need to dedicate time to. Perched upon his head are expressive and largish canid ears reminiscent of a fox. The fur between his ears is dyed a dusky purple and styled in a choppy, short foehawk.
Pale grey eyes look out from a fluffy face, each pupil vulpine in shape. His face is dominated by a broad muzzle lined with pointed teeth. Carr's body is thickly furred from the top of his head to his fuzzy toes. Their fur could only be described as blond and is a rather nice mix of pale yellows, caramels, ivory and sienna, all blending to be rather aesthetically pleasing to the eye. All that fur is thick and soft. Their tail is spectacularly patterned and is better kept than it once was, as if taking the time for a quick fur brush is not beyond him now that he is a teenager. Upon fingers and toes are slightly dulled black claws. At times, the most that can be asked of him is that he ensures there is no machine oil, grease, or other such things caught on his pads or the fur around them before he goes out in public.
Their Speech
Carr's voice is gravelly and rough. Though technically a baritone, his voice is on the lower end of the spectrum, nearly edging on a bass type. It is just enough that he naturally speaks with a low rumble, whether speaking Basic, Shistavanen or Mirialan. He speaks with a lot of slang and chooses to avoid any speaking with any sort of formality, much to the irritation of Academy professors.
Personality Profile
Carr has done some growing in his years since joining their sibling on the Voidbreaker. Though he remains the troublemaker he has always been, he has learned to better judge when to cause trouble and when to avoid it. Still, often times snarky and challenging of authority types who parade their power around, he has grown to become a diligent student, more outgoing, and far less snappish. He remains thoughtful, a nerd with a love for machinery, computers and comic books, and has developed a wide number of friendships that have caused him to drop the walls he put up around him. He still will stand up to bullies without a second thought, especially to protect those who cannot protect themselves. He dislikes fakers and people who are generally disingenuous. He is friendly, loves to talk nerd stuff, and delights in getting his hands dirty working on machinery or computers. Through his various friendships, he has learned to better socialize with others and read people in general. He still does not completely understand people the way he understands droids, but, he engages better than he ever had previously and no longer deals with issues of loneliness.
Carr identifies as male and considers himself pansexual. He is in the awkward position of crushing hard on his two closest friends, Noga and Leda Tenbriss.
Skills, Powers and Abilities
Combat
Carr has been receiving training in Corellian Kickboxing as well as lightsaber combat forms. They are physically fit with balanced strength, agility and endurance with no real focus on a specific one physical attribute.
Non-Combat
Carr excels where technology is involved. He learned how to slice into computer systems as a hobby and has a firm grasp of mechanical things. The youngster has even been learning ship operations from other crew members of the Voidbreaker II in hopes that they would allow him to get at the consoles on the bridge. He swears it will not cause trouble for the Captain and his close friend, engineer Zig Kaliska.
The Force
Carr is a Force-user, and though he has become more open to training, he has a lot to learn. His focus not being on training his Force powers, he has not made much headway, though he has become notably strong with Telekinesis, very specifically Hexing by way of his Discipline of Techweaver. He has never felt pressured to push himself harder, and only ever felt encouraged to progress in ways he feels best for himself.

Carr's Backpack Droid. The Shistavanen maintains the little droid himself, and together they make a fierce system-slicing team. Carr installed the upgrades to his droid friend himself. They share the same exacting requirements when it comes to devices and how to best handle upgrading. Probably best then that Carr handles maintenance himself on the little droid.
