Jarik was born to a family of fairly succesful Corellian traders. He was supposed to inherit the family business, but it wasn't for him. From an early age, the stars called to him. He practices his piloting even when he's not in the air, attempting to come up with new techniques. As the Vast Empire is to thank for his family's prosperity, most of his family is extremely loyal to the Empire, and Jarik is more so than most. He constantly trains physically, for the dual purposes of withstanding the rigors of flight and for the odd commando mission he might have to pull off. His favorite method of combat on the ground is getting up close and personal, but he won't hesitate to use his blaster if the opportunity arises.
His family was at first upset at his decision to join the Naval Academy, but they soon realized that it was for the best. Like certain other notable Corellians, Jarik was sticken with a desire to travel the cosmos and a thirst for adventure. He would never truly be happy, or efficient, doing paperwork and balancing his families' accounts. Jarik briefly considered the quicker, more dangerous route of smuggling, but he opted out of that path. While not reckless, he has been known to barrel headlong into anything he thinks will bring him some excitement. He does nothing without a whole heart, especially flying. From the time he was a child, Jarik has never felt more at home than in the cockpit of a starfighter.
Jarik was aggressive as a child. He was never a bully, but he certainly never backed down to one, either. At school, he'd often get into scraps with kids who were bigger, older and stronger than he was. One fight went particularly bad and almost cost Jarik his left eye. When that happened, his father quickly enrolled him in a self defense program. Jarik proved more than adequate, and mastered the cirriculum swiftly. He has since taken a great interest in the martial arts, and would especially love to study with the Echani if he ever had the opportunity.
As Jarik grew older, while he still loved the physical aspect of combat, he grem more interested in the mental areas of fighting. Tactics, strategems...these were the things that were holding his interest. He began reading and studying military tactics and records. This of course led him to perhaps the most important arm of any military...their Navy.
Jarik has ever since been obsessed with starship combat and tactics. He hopes to gain great skill at the Naval Academy and distinguish himself as a loyal and valuable member of the Imperial Navy.
