Okay, here's a brief profile (the rest is coming real soon, Sprig2):
Tels Ferrans is an independent engineering contractor affiliated with the Techno Union.  He’s qualified to create, repair, or alter just about any device you’ve got ranging from the smallest blaster to most ship systems (except the hyperdrive.  He never got around to learning that.  There were always hyperdrive specialists at hand, and no one needed him for that kind of specialist work.)  His forte, and favorite, are droids.
As an independent contractor Tels travels from site to site, hopping planets, systems, going wherever the new job takes him.  He enjoys the freedom this allows, although the pay isn’t quite as good as it would be if he were to sign on permanently with a large Union firm. Â
Tels knows how to use most of the common devices that he knows how to repair.  If it’s an uncommon or highly specialized device he can usually figure it out if given a bit of time to study it out.
While there are some aspects of his personality that are less than social Tels is a nice guy, maybe slow to make good friends but generally polite and well-mannered. Â He always tries to dress pretty sharp. Â He's no clotheshound, but he likes looking good. Â Besides, the fashion industry is one of the few galactic organizations that isn't corrupt to the core.
