−	Raffael Goschmitt is native from Tatooine. His father, Karl Goschmitt, is a former Imperial military and is now working in designing new ship technologies to the Empire; he served in the Army while he was young to strenghten his beliefs and then asked transference to the Ministry of Industry, in the Corellian Engineering Corporation, where he works nowadays; despites being very military, Karl never had what it took, physically speaking, to be in the Imperial Army, or the ability to pilot a ship to be in the Imperial Navy. His mother, Stephanie Goschmitt, is a comerciant and housekeeper; they met in Tatooine, where Raffael was born, but moved to Coruscant with the New Republic taking the planet.	+	=== Early Life ===
−	Raffael's childhood was very tough, as he was raised in a very military way and it since a very early age he always used to obey his father without questioning anything. Despites having his father to work in the Ministry of Industry, that was not the way Raffael saw his life, as the boy looked foward to pilot the Imperial ships instead of having them built. Despites that, Raffael learned well how to command, since he and his father had more like a Commander-Soldier relationship, rather than Father-Son, and, regardless of his will, learned very well the tricks in a computer. Still, his natural talent to pilot was undeniable, being him one of the fastest pilots of Coruscant.	+	{{Quote

		+	Raffael grew up in Tatooine with the Goschmitt family, being his father a former soldier of the [[Imperial Army]] and now working in the [[Corellian Engineering Corporation]]. Though his raising was mostly disciplined, military-like, he was a racer during his teenage life; always loved speed and used to pilot speeders and starfighters for that, always making a decent amount of money. His life on Tatooine wasn't too different than the usual for every other person, which were basically the stupid years of his life: shooting, barfights, beating up smugglers, gambling, among other things.
		+
		+	During one of the starfighter races bets, he met a girl called Amelia Leonie. She had a stare that mesmerized him; though he didn't usually bet, he went nearby and heard she asking ''who was racing anyway''. After the list of names, she randomly bet 100 credits on him, without even knowing who was he. With a smirk, he approached and, still looking to her, bet against her on another pilot - just so she'd win.
		+
		+	After he, by far, won the race and the credits were delivered to her, he walked to her again to talk. In the same day, he was " invited " to her house - where he promptly stolen his 100 credits back, saying ''"they're mine anyway, sweetheart"''. Since then, they became as well close friends, while she kept followed him claiming that the only thing she that wanted was to be paid her 100 credits. It became a common joke since then.

That night, he ignored, as usual, his father's recommendation as he went to a starfighter race with Amelia. After winning, they sneaked out of the annoyingly loud crowd. Without a blaster, he was defenseless to the Anooba attack coming against them. Though the Anoobas were not particularly strong, they only attacked in large numbers; they ran, but Amelia did not manage to survive the wounds.

Biography

Early Life

"Pst, you gotta practice if you wanna beat me."

— Teenager Raffael to a Smuggler after winning a starfighter race.

Raffael grew up in Tatooine with the Goschmitt family, being his father a former soldier of the Imperial Army and now working in the Corellian Engineering Corporation. Though his raising was mostly disciplined, military-like, he was a racer during his teenage life; always loved speed and used to pilot speeders and starfighters for that, always making a decent amount of money. His life on Tatooine wasn't too different than the usual for every other person, which were basically the stupid years of his life: shooting, barfights, beating up smugglers, gambling, among other things.

During one of the starfighter races bets, he met a girl called Amelia Leonie. She had a stare that mesmerized him; though he didn't usually bet, he went nearby and heard she asking who was racing anyway. After the list of names, she randomly bet 100 credits on him, without even knowing who was he. With a smirk, he approached and, still looking to her, bet against her on another pilot - just so she'd win.

After he, by far, won the race and the credits were delivered to her, he walked to her again to talk. In the same day, he was " invited " to her house - where he promptly stolen his 100 credits back, saying "they're mine anyway, sweetheart". Since then, they became as well close friends, while she kept followed him claiming that the only thing she that wanted was to be paid her 100 credits. It became a common joke since then.

About one year later, he was forced to nearly stop racing - though not completely - on his seventeen's and focused more on his father's military training, since his father was planning for him to enlist. Tusken and Anooba attacks were more likely at that time, which made his father to always recommend him to walk around with a Blaster, even though he wasn't in the Military yet. That night, he ignored, as usual, his father's recommendation as he went to a starfighter race with Amelia. After winning, they sneaked out of the annoyingly loud crowd. Without a blaster, he was defenseless to the Anooba attack coming against them. Though the Anoobas were not particularly strong, they only attacked in large numbers; they ran, but Amelia did not manage to survive the wounds.

Imperial Life

"Keep following me."

— Raffael on Amelia's Funeral.

Amelia Leonie

It was a huge shock to him. During her funeral, he grabbed the 100 credits on his pocket and slowly moved his hand towards her pocket, but refrained himself, putting them back on his pocket.

Living alone and still bitter, he commited himself to the studies in the Imperial Academy and managed to pass with a grade or 94% under the Training Officer Califf D`Troit, passing with a grade of 94% and being assigned to his unit. Not much is known about his work, excepting his participation in Operation Dread Lord as a TIE Pilot - most of it is classified.

With a few more than one year serving in the Imperial Navy, Raffael saw a lot and also did a lot. If his personality had already changed with the incident with Amelia, serving in the military helped even more. It didn't remember even the shadow of the naive racer living in Tatooine, being replaced now with a dry, sarcastic and somewhat arrogant Imperial, commited to his duty. Dedicating his life to the Empire, Raffael not only fulfills the regular duties of his fleet, but also works, part-time, in the Imperial Academy as a Junior Training Officer and in the Imperial Center for Recruitment.

Despites being stubborn on his own view of justice, assuring that everyone follows the Imperial Law, and having caused trouble with that, Raffael's promotion to Ensign and, later on, position of Executive Officer of the 2nd Group, 2nd Imperial Fleet only made his dedication stronger. And even nowadays he keeps, on his pocket, those 100 credits that he once stole from Amelia's pocket.

Back to Tatooine

"When I left, there were only sand rats. Now I'm back and there are rebel rats. I want the old neighborhood back."

— Raffael Goschmitt

Not much time after he was named Executive Officer, he went back to Tatooine in order to see his parents. Only to find out, of course, that he couldn't exactly walk around the planet: it was dominated now by the New Republic. It wasn't hard for him, however, to find out what happened, contacting a few people that he still knew in the planet: both of his parents died in the struggle against the rebel dominion. He expected a mix of emotions to pass through him, but what he did was only turn his freighter back and fly away from the planet, sighing.

Personality

"I don't wanna be anyone other than me."

— Raffael Goschmitt

His personality changed quite an amount during the years, especially after the incident with Amelia; though he used to be a troublemaker, he now behaves with pride. Dry, sarcastic and also somewhat arrogant, hardly any person would like to be near him. It's known, however, that he cares deeply about his fleetmates, being those under him or not - they are the closest relationship of a "family" that he have.
