Geca Hikopa (character)

"Of course they can."

Geca Hikopa is a corellian trader currently owning shops on Rori, Tatooine and Dantooine.

Biography
The corellian trader Geca Hikopa was born in a corellian settlement on the Gus Talon moon. His parents ran a small shop there but left the settlement shortly after Geca's birth as profits there weren't as good as expected. They founded a small store on Dantooine afterwards.

Geca himself travelled the galaxy for a while, gaining skills as an engineer. Good buisness anticipation helped him gain some riches. He opened shops on Rori and Tatooine.

After the death of his parents in a landspeeder accident, Hikopa returned to Dantooine to take over his Dad's droid store there.

Though being a Corellian, Geca's skills as a pilot are not considered to be those of an ace. He is actually trying to change that.

Personality
Hikopa's sarcastic comments tend to tick people off. His reckless choice of words and open objection of what people call community standards make him a somewhat hated person, though he is very reliable and helpful towards his friends.

Geca's liverish behaviour towards sentient beings of all species seems to be a side effect of meeting horde's of "sentients" running around like mad while yelling "Look what I can do! Look what I have!".

Equipment
Geca wears represantative robes when on buisness, and has a strange preference for brown shirts in his spare time. And for defense purposes - like most Corellians Geca is convinced of the fact that there is nothing better than a good blaster pistol at his side.

In space he utilizes a modified Dunelizard for mining. This vessel is very maneuverable.

Behind the scenes
Geca Hikopa's appearence and personality are derivated from Gary Oldman's character Emanuel Zorg, villain of the movie The Fifth Element. The super-villain part of the personality has been removed and details about his background have been added to reflect the other galaxy Geca is living in and to give this character a more "unique" touch.
