Background (list the history of your character here. Created Characters Must Be Thorough!):
Joren Kel is the son of the renowned Jedi knight Van Kel. Joren had been identified as a force sensitive at a young age, and as soon as he was old enough, taken to the Jedi Temple on Yavin 4 to undergo training. He was naturally adept in the Force, and impressed his instructors with the speed and ease at which he seemed to pick things up. It was because of this that Grand Master Roan Skywalker had taken a special interest in the boy. Over the years, Skywalker had developed a special relationship with young Joren, becoming an unofficial mentor to the youngster. 
When Joren was 22 years old  and a newly minted Jedi Knight, his Master, Quil Skreel joined his father in mediating a moisture farming dispute on the desert world of Er’Kit. Joren had asked to go on the trip, however Master Skreel refused to take him along, insisting that he would be better served by staying at the temple and preparing himself to take on a padawan of his own, and thus should remain behind on Yavin 4. While it should have been a simple matter, it turned out to be anything but. What the Jedi did not know, was that on Er’Kit there was a small cluster within the native population that harbored deep anti-Jedi biases. While in the process of the mediation, the Jedi were attacked by the anti-Jedi element. The Jedi were taken by surprised and while they should have easily taken the attackers down, they themselves fell. 
Joren reacted to the news that his father and master had been taken from him in the same day poorly. He was angry, and he was resentful. He blamed himself for their deaths, believing that had he been there to help, they would have survived. 
After the death of his father and Master Skreel, the young Jedi Knight decided that he did not want to waste his life the way that the two most important beings in his life had. So he packed the few possessions that he had and caught a transport off of Yavin 4, and away from the Jedi. 
Joren effectively vanished to the smuggler’s moon of Nar Shaddaa. While on the smuggler’s moon, he befriended a Mandalorian by the name of Dono Kiilar. The two met while Joren was making a living hustling at Sabaac inside of Jaspeel's Cantina. Joren had hustled a local gang leader named  Shortly after, Dono introduced Joren to his friends Nyna Shar and Kelsa Sila. Soon after, the quartet undertook minor smuggling operations aboard the converted luxury yacht Darq Dreams.

Before giving up his life as a Jedi


Sample Post (write a sample post that is at least 4 paragraphs long and containing at least 3 lines of dialogue):

Joren sat in a darkened corner in the very back of Jaspeel's Cantina. Jaspeel’s used to be a nice place, or more accurately, as nice of a place that could be found be on Nar Shaddaa. Unfortunately things have changed, a local gang known as The Kaths have claimed it as their turf.  Since the Kaths moved in, business has been bad. At one point, Jaspeel’s was considered a safe haven. Beings from all walks of life would come here and drink and gamble in relative safety. Unfortunately, that was no longer the case. The Kath’s were a ruthless lot, and they took great pride in the violence that they were able to commit against anyone who they deemed worthy. 

Voices rise and fall as a couple of Duros get into a heated exchange with a Rodian over a game of Sabaac. Before anyone even looks in their direction, the table is toppled over as the argument erupts into a full on brawl. Joren took a sip of his Jawa Juice as Jaspeel's bouncers grabs the two Duros and the Rodian and threw them violently out the door. Joren smiles to himself and takes another drink, taking some comfort in knowing that even with all the craziness going on in the galaxy, some things never change.

The chatter in the cantina goes quiet for a moment, even the music stops. Joren looked, expecting to see a group of Kaths walking through the door. Joren sighed in relief as instead of members of The Kaths, Joren sees a lone man wearing dark blue Mandalorian armor with a blood red lining around the visor. 

The Mandalorian walked over to where Joren is sitting and pulls out the chair beside him. The Mandalorian takes off his helmet, and as usual he has a jovial grin on his face. Not exactly what most people expect when they see a Mandalorian, then again Dono Kiilar isn't your average Mandalorian.

"Good news vod'ika, I found out where they are holding our shipment."

"I knew you'd come through, let's go get it."

"Not so fast Joren, they're holding her in the sublevels of their main base of operations. There are two ways in, and neither of them are going to be easy."

"I wouldn't expect anything less, let's go."

"Very good, Ib'tuur jatne tuur ash'ad kyr'amur"

Joren and Dono got up from their table and left the cantina, so that they could come up with a game plan to take back the shipment that the Kaths took from their ship as repayment for the credits that they feel that Joren had stolen from their leader, Amaral Kenso. Joren and Dono were both well aware that the Kaths had eyes and ears everywhere, and that if they were going to make plans for moving against the Kaths, they’d need to do so someplace safe. As they left the cantina, Joren thought about the last words that Dono had uttered on their way out of the cantina, and Joren knew that he was absolutely right in his assessment. This day was a good day for somebody else to die.
