Khel Ovine

Origins
Khel grew up in the city of Malthee. It has a densely-packed, ardently socialist, highly religious and very community-oriented population, typical of most cities on Kinyen. He is a co-owner of a co-operative farm not far outside the city limits, along with fifty or so others. He has been excused from his duties there after his appointment to the role of Senator. Recently selected by the planet's ruling demarchy as senator, Khel Ovine seeks to use his platform to advocate for both his socialist ideology and the religious tenets of Doellinism. He has a particular interest in droidcraft and automation.

Skills
Before being selected as Senator by sortition, Khel Ovine supervised a small team of farming droids, a job which was taken over by his sister. His skills include droidcraft, negoatiation, droid management and manual labour.

Appearance
Despite his young age, Ovine has the haggard, goatlike appearance of most Gran. Given his humble origins, Khel Ovine likes to portray himself as a "Gran of the people". He wears a set of spartan, almost jedi-like robes.

About Kinyen
Due to Kinyen's internal political system, the planet's senator is replaced every three-and-a-half years.

Located where the Great Gran Run meets the Corellian Trade Spine, the agriworld of Kinyen is in a prime position to influence the galactic economy. Its major export is food.

Kinyen is unique in its bizarre combination of ideologies. On the one hand, it is a socialist demarchy with a strong healthcare system and with near-zero poverty and unemployment. On the other, it has a highly religious conservative streak, with drugs and alcohol being criminalised.
