[b]Bio:[/b] Kaga was born Ujimunja eij Tarumana on the planet Kalee. At age seven he was sold into slavery by his brother to an arms dealer. Transported offworld, he was given a number and brutally trained to be a strong and obedient slave for a year. Sold into bondage to a drug cartel, Ujimunja was made to be a "lightspeed jockey", and forced to repair and maintain starships while fitting into small, dangerous places. He learned and practiced this skill for two years, until at age ten he was forced to run spice planet-side. Seeming to have a second sense for where local enforcers were, Ujimunja was celebrated and offered pay and spice to continue doing the marvelous job. He was also rechristened, named "Kaga" after one of their fallen brethren.

Age eleven, he was found by Jedi Master Kwatha and her apprentice on a mission to the planet Andasala. Clearly being Force sensitive, Master Kwatha fought a duel with several thugs and won, earning the boy as payement. Transported to the Jedi Temple, Kaga was set on an accelerated schedule and was picked as a Padawan at age twelve. Taken in by the Ithorian Master Nautolus, he quickly took to Force training, being reminded of his home-world's spirituality. With his philisophical Master, Kaga spent much time ruminating on the cultures and beliefs of various peoples, from the Kaleesh and Ithorians to the Gammoreans and Hutts he had lived with on Andasala. At age seventeen, he was Knighted and, after a short period, took on a human apprentice, named Diana Iulia.

Following his Knighthood, Kaga became more and more interested in learning of the cultures and practices of other species. Following an appeal to the Jedi Council, Kaga and his apprentice were allowed for an extended trip around the Outer Rim. Trading parting words with Master Nautolus, he left with Diana in a Theta-Class T-2C, determined to see the galaxy through new eyes. A two month trip turned into three, six, a year. After two years of travel, and Diana needing to take exams and courses Kaga could not provide, they made their way back to Coruscant and the Jedi Temple. On the Mid Rim, however, both are plagued by visions of slaughter and chaos, a storm in the Force. Looking for information, Kaga is met with news of Order 66 and the Jedi's supposed treason. Not believing a word of it, Kaga and Diana flee immediately.

[b]Personality:[/b] Kaga is outspoken and adventurous, having no real ties to a planet or homeworld. He is not sure what he wants in life, but knows he wants to see everything he can before making his decision. Even though a dedicated Jedi, he still wonders of the nature of the Force and questions the theory he has been taught. Although an adult, he has a child-like sense of curiosity. 

[b]Skills/weapon(s) of choice:[/b] Skilled in lightsaber usage, specifically Shien and Ataru forms. 
Adept at many Force-centric skills, including the basics required for a Jedi such as the Art of Movement, Force Concealment, and Force Sense. Kaga prefers manipulating the mind rather than using showy displays of ability, able to confuse and instill emotions in opponents. 
Carries a conventional plasteel knife as well.

[b]Relationship:[/b] No significant other. Close with Diana and Master Nautolus, as well as Master Kwatha.

[b]Other:[/b] Lightsaber color is a pale green. Traditional mask is made of plasteel, not bone.
