| - Akain Karna was born on Nagi in 2 BBY to a pair of spacer mercenaries, who had been former Imperial SpecOps. His father had been a Colonel in the Iwertwmperial SpecOps, something that was amazing, considering the Empire's stance against aliens. His mother had ben a combat medic. Between the two of them they had conducted more than a few missions in their time and were battle hardened and tested soldiers of war, as well as part of Clan Karna. They had traveled from system to system, but they wanted their child born on their homeworld. They decided to set up residence on the planet. He was born amongst his people and was treated as a normal Nagai. He grew up amongst other Nagai and was raised in what would seem like a normal upbringing for a child. His parents taught him from a young age how the galaxy worked and that in order to survive he would need to work to make himself the best in whatever profession he chose. When he was six, his parents decided that it was time that they went back to their old profession of being mercenaries. However, they were faced with the problem of what to do with the young Akain. He was too young to really come with them, but they had no relatives left on Nagi that would be able to look after him, so they were forced to bring him along. Knowing what they'd taught him of how the galaxy was, Akain felt at that young age that his parents were doing the right thing for him. It would enable him to learn much. They'd already begun to teach him how to defend himself with his fists and feet. Now he would be able to learn more and would be able to protect himself. In addition to this, he would be able to make himself useful and ensure that he had employment. His parents schooled him at "home" which for them was their ship. When Akain got problems wrong in school, he was forced to drop and do push ups, sit ups and various other physical exercises. Either that, or his parents would put his endurance to the test, forcing him to take full on punches and hits. If he was actually injured, his mother, a trained medic, would heal him and then use the incident to teach him about the body and that of different species. Everything was designed to keep him alive for longer. This meant that she taught him the physiology of different species as well as pressure points of the major species of the galaxy, such as humans, Rodians, Twi'leks, and the like. They went on different missions, and Akain kept his eyes and ears open, learning much along the way. He learned how to shoot and how the insides of ships worked. From this he found that he had great skills with machines. He picked up different languages and would soon be able to speak some of them fluently. He never realized how he was able to learn things so quickly. He never thought about it until later, just thinking that some things came naturally to him. Only years later would the thought occur that perhaps he was Force-sensitive and that it was the Force aiding him in his learning. This also helped him learn marksmanship. His parents trained him from the age of five to be able to shoot. As all of his parents' friends were mercenaries or soldiers, he soon learned that they gave respect only if he was able to fight and take care of himself on the battlefield. It was already known to him that he was going to eventually join his parents' profession. Since the age of five, his parents trained him, forcing him to harden his body to become a physical tool of war. He was a fighter, a survivor. They had had him shooting DL-44s at the age of six, despite the kickback. His mother had fixed a number of broken bones in his body. His parents would take him to places such as Hoth and leave him there, forcing him to work on survival training, like they did with various other systems around the galaxy so that he would be able to live under harsh conditions. They took him to different doctors around the galaxy, exposing him to strains of diseases, and monitoring his condition so that his immune system would develop properly to fight these potentially lethal diseases. While he did what his aprents wanted him to do no matter what, he never understood what was the reason behind it. he understood and believed in their philosophy for life, but he sometimes felt as though they were taking things overboard. He never knew a normal childhood, as all of the people around him were soldiers, mercenaries, bounty hunters and the like. On one of the missions, Akain would be separated from his parents in the middle of a city on a backwater planet and force to fend for himself. With only a blaster and a single powerpack, the seven year old Nagai took out a platoon of trained soldiers thanks to the marksmanship lessons that his father had taught him and a proper knowledge of cover and concealment. In the end of that episode, he fought and killed a grown man with only his bare hands after the blaster pistol was taken from him. When his parents eventually found him, they attempted to get him some medical attention, though he refused it, knowing that it would only slow them down. The galaxy had had its first taste of Akain's stubbornness, and he eventually got his first taste of bacta. He had to recuperate for some time thanks to the injuries he sustained. When he was nine, a mission that his parents took on would have a great impact on the young Nagai's life, changing it and altering it forever. It would completely destroy and shatter Akain's life, giving him the personality and characteristics that he has today.
