Name: Han Solo
Canon: Star Wars
Original or Alternate Universe: Original
Canon Point: In the middle of a New Hope, whilst on the Death Star
Number: 120 or randomization works
Setting: Star Wars
History:
The world of the Star Wars original trilogy takes place a very long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away. The war against the Galactic Empire and the Rebel Alliance is reaching its peak, especially with stolen Death Star plans. Specially, Han makes his appearance in the seedy Cantina in Mos Eisley, sitting around while his partner, Chewbacca does most of the work. He doesn't introduce himself unless it's good money and whether or not its worth the work. But, there's a problem: Han Solo and Chewbacca are infamous smugglers and who so happen to owe Jabba the Hutt, a space mob don, a lot of money. But, that fact isn't made apparent until after he's done boasting about his ship, the Millennium Falcon, who can make a Kesel run in under 12 parsects. His debt makes him take the very nice price of 17,000 and just as he's about to leave, Greedo - a debt collector for Jabba, stops him and asks where the money is. There's a little talk about money and there's a shot fired - no one knows who started it, but as far as Han is concerned there's only more trouble ahead. Waiting for him in the hangar by his precious ship is Jabba himself asking for the money. Han simply states that his charter of Ben Kenboi and Luke will pay Jabba back, with interest.
The Falcon is his pride and joy, the moment that Luke states (and continues to state) that the ship is a pile of junk, Han gets defensive of her. Even when the Imperials catch onto what's going on, he makes it a point to put Luke in his place about the ship. Han takes the time to gloat for a escaping the Empire, even takes a few shots at the Force before coming up on a very suspicious asteroid field …
Han uses his cunning skill to follow a stray fighter, but the Falcon gets caught in a tractor beam pulling him towards the Death Star. They hide in the hidden cargo areas that Han uses for smuggling, unknowing that they had been marked as a ship blasting out of Mos Eisley. During a search of the ship, Han and Luke knock out two Imperial Stormtroopers and take over a communications hub in the station. Luke berates Han on all his blasting around and Han just wants the Empire to come at him bro.
Once Ben goes off to finish their new mission is rescuing themselves by switching off the tractor beam, R2D2 reveals that Leia is onboard and Han throws a small fit. Better her head than his, but unfortunately for him, Luke knows his soft-spot and they end up going to go rescue the Princess. He doesn't really know what to expect when he gets Leia (except for cash), but they clash the moment they meet each other. One garbage chute and a bonding experience from hell later, they all make it out and back onto the ship. Han takes care of the guards whilst Luke and Leia (who is really starting to grate on his nerves) head back to the ship and to get the droids. Han manages to scream like an idiot, chasing down several Storm Troopers into a horde of more Stormtroopers. Finally, they make it out of there, only to face even more Imperials. Han takes a mentor role with Luke and the ships guns and they deal with it easily (without knowing of a homing beacon on the ship). Han tells Leia straight to her face that he isn't in it for the revolution, at all.
Han doesn't even pay attention during the mission briefing, when Luke goes out to get into his own fighter to ask why he isn't staying to help, Han just states that he needs to take care of himself. Ironically, he does tell Luke after his failed attempt to recruit him, "May the Force Be With You" despite his own vocal objections to the Force.
Han' (Un)surprisingly, during the skirmish, Han assists his new bro Luke in destroying the Death Star. A New Hope ends with Han being awarded a medal and maybe even warming up to the idea of this working for a greater cause business.
Personality:
Han transforms from a selfish smuggler to a reluctant hero. He's sarcastic, he's rude, he's patronizing, smug - the very innate qualities you might see in a smuggler. Han has a very hot temper, despite his ability to think quickly on his feet and even faster with a blaster.
You meet him in the seediest parts of a remote desert planet and he only comes out when there's the promise of hard cash. Contrary to this facade, Han displays loyalties to only Chewbacca, who is more like a brother than he is just a co-pilot. The two are always together and Han is always watching his partner's back. At first it seems that Han is also a regular smuggler who owes the wrong people a very large sum of money, but its obvious that he has bigger dreams than just smuggling things for the rest of his life. Han is a gifted mechanic and a damn good pilot, but to get the ship that he loves so much, he had to get into debt.
And damn, does Han love that ship of his. Every time Luke or Leia calls it a bucket of junk, Han feels the need to interject and boast about it. And it says a lot about who he is- the Falcon has a lot of modifications that he did personally on it. It's his handiwork that's made it as fast as it is. He's determined to fight anyone who wants to take it away from him, he'll never give it up without a fight; the Falcon is like a representation of who he is. Han portrays himself as tough, slick and cunning, just like the ship and how it's piloted. Han does everything himself, whether its running calculations through the computer himself rather than a program do it or working on his own ships parts.
For the most part, Han keeps himself guarded. In the beginning, he's all business; he just wants to get from Point A to Point B, drop off Luke and Ben and give the money to Jabba so that he can just fly his ship in peace. When Greedo comes to visit him in the Cantina, he thinks fast on his feet to shoot the debt collector. Han doesn't like to be cornered, which may seem cowardly at first, but he's actually quite bold. While he doesn't exactly stand up to Jabba the Hutt when talking about his debt, Han does step on his tail several times before getting his other side. While he claims to be one for calculation and tact, sometimes his own temper gets the best of him and he goes in guns blazing. This is true with a blaster and in personal relationships. Han likes to think that he isn't one to show a lot of emotion, but he likes to be acknowledged for his skill, as evident on the Falcon when they were en route to Alderaan. It's there that Han displays that he would much rather be rooted in the real world than tangle with something as metaphysical as the Force. It insults Luke, but Han tells it as it is.
While he does a lot of things to keep himself alive, but on the Death Star it's revealed that he actually isn't one to throw another person under the bus. While he does resist going to rescue Leia and even with the promise of a reward, he could have easily left Luke behind in several occasions or allowed Chewbacca to be a meat shield, but he doesn't. Instead, during a shootout, he tells everyone to get behind him and he's the last one to escape down the garbage chute. More importantly, Luke stops being just cargo to Han and actually a friend. Han starts referring to the younger man as "buddy" or "kid" in non-condescending ways, but he's actually sincere about it.
Han also does things that are completely hypocritical: saying that he would rather go guns blazing rather than sneak around or hide, but stating that he won't go to a detention block to get a Princess, saying that he won't stick around for the mission to blow up the Death Star and then coming in at the last minute to help save the day.
Once more, Han is called on to be a hero when they start to evacuate, but its shown that he's embraced the fact that he's giving himself to a cause greater than himself. But, sadly, the whole interpersonal relationships seems to be over complicated for him and he spends more time arguing or making a conflict worse because of his stubbornness rather than trying to create a solution (in this case, admitting his own feelings for Leia).
What hasn't changed is Han's devotion to his machismo. He isn't like Luke when it comes to accepting a range of emotions. Han would much rather someone take that move forward rather than him, despite the fact that he gets into Leia's face about her own feelings towards him. Han shows anger, concern or a cool cunning - anything deeper is a no-go as evident by his awkward goodbyes.
Abilities, Weaknesses and Power Limitations:
✓ He's a damn good pilot: He can fly into an asteroid field and defy the odds, and survive. He did the Kessel run in 12 parsecs, escapes a giant asteroid alien's mouth, assist in battle and fly through an asteroid field.
✓ Quick thinking in a jam: he naturally does what any scoundrel would do in order to save their hide. Being a smuggler and in general, an outlaw, requires Han to be able to come up with a plan right on the spot in order to evade capture. For instance, in Empire Strikes Back, Han has the great idea to hide on the blindspot of an Imperial Cruiser, making them think that they had lost them.
✓ Great with his hands: he can do modifications on a ship, fix things with limited supplies and make it faster, better, stronger.
✓ Being a conman: he's a scoundrel, what can he say? Pickpocketing, gambling, owing people money, smuggling he does it all.
✓ Loyal: Han never ever turns his back on his friends, nor does he leave someone in a bind. If someone is his friend, he takes care of them and he makes sure that they all leave together.
✓ Harrison Ford.
✘ Quick temper: Han gets into the majority of trouble that he gets into because of his quick temper. Han never really thinks things all the way through, which leads poor people to get themselves into trouble.
✘ He touches everything: Despite being an amazing mechanic, Han's luck only runs so far. Half the time it ends up blowing up in his face; see: the Falcon, hacking into the bunker in Return of the Jedi, everything he does.
✘ Selfish: As evident by his life choices, Han chooses to do things that help him and only him. Unfortunately for him, his past selfish decisions come back to bite him his ass.

Log Sample:
The first thing that Han did was to make a note to himself never to take passengers; cargo never got him in this deep. Okay, fine, correction: cargo is the reason why he had to take the old man and the kid on board. Right now, he was wondering if he should have just saved himself the trouble of being arrested by the Empire instead of being arrested by the Empire on board of its giant space station and probably executed.
All that had to be done was take them to Alderaan, how hard could that have been? This was why he was wearing a stormtropper uniform and skulking around this giant ship looking for a wookie, a farm boy, and an old cultist all while trying to make it out alive so that he could make it so that he could make it through the galaxy alive.
Oh yeah, and the princess; the only upside about it was that it was so quiet. So blissfully quiet.
Fine, not blissfully, but it was far too quiet. Han, with his blaster out cursed the fact that now was the time that Chewie thought to use stealth. Honestly, how does a wookie even achieve it. All he had to do was find all of them, shove them onto the Falcon (oh, don't even get him started if they've even touched his ship), drop the Princess off, and ask for double the reward.
"No princess is worth this." He huffs, "No princess is worth triple this." ac
Han secretly hoped that Luke was in a better situation.

Uh, this is stormtrooper ... zero, fifty, zero, omega (that works, he supposes) we have a situation here, requesting backup. We have a wookie on the loose, I repeat, we have a wookie on the loose. Warning, warning, warning, warning he's loose in sectors four, five and seven. Probably.
Possibly.
We aren't sure, but that's why I'm requesting backup because how am I supposed to scout this entire facility for him?
(there's the sound of a laser shooting something) Also, cancel that reactor leak. I think I fixed it. Uhm, you never answered how you were doing?
