This Dun is far, far more dynamic than the previous Dun.  Already knowing I would lack precognitive parry in this incarnation, I have elected to keep the combat hardsuit and added a force buckler (it's not very Star Wars, but it might fit our setting.  We'll see how we feel about it after the playtest).  Space Knights can focus on a variety of things, but I have elected to pull him away from security and push him more towards combat and leadership.  I see Dun as heroic, a voice of morality in the somewhat morally grey party he belongs to.

Dun retains his Danger Sense (though it's no longer psionic in nature), and has added modest standing in his Space Knight organization.  His disadvantages remain largely the same, though I needed to fill out the rest of his points.  I chose to deepen his honor by giving him a greater commitment to his allies and then, running out of ideas, I've given him a secret romance with a princess (how embarrassing!)

Finally, I've chosen the Humble Origins lens. I see Dun as a man of the people who has risen to the rank of Space Knight.  That makes him popular among his own people.  Naturally, humble origins ties you deeply to your planet, so it needs a name: I have chosen to call it "Grist," and I imagine it to be a world covered in the debris and ruins of war and industry.  The hardy people there make a living by salvaging or fixing up ships.  Dun has some experience with this, but he mostly has friends who can help him if he needs it.
