[b]Personality[/b]: 
Jer at first impressions to some comes off as a hardened soul, someone who is not easy to crack into and converse with. He treats people around him with a measured caution as it is not an easy task to gain his trust. In general he is a cautious man, one that does not dive headfirst into situations before going through all possible solutions. He does not crave violence even though its what he's made living in for over three decades. Part of him is tired of all of the war and battles, his bones ache from the constant struggles he's taken a part in. The one thing he truly cares about is his wife, Sienni and his son, Adal. They are the biggest reason as to why he's retired from career as a lifelong soldier. They are why he's come back to live on his homeworld, a planet he has not step foot on in many years.

[hider=Biography]
Like many of his species he was born on the Twi'lek homeworld, Ryloth. He did not come from any wealthy upbringing or esteemed background. His parents often fought as the young twi'lek wondered if they actually even liked each other. Still they each tried to provide him with a loving childhood. His uncle, Laral was a hunter who would frequently travel into the dangerous wildernesses of their homeworld. Laral taught Jer how to use a blaster rifle and fend for himself. Jer never particularly enjoyed Ryloth, it was an unforgiving world that many who had been born onto it were dealt a bad hand. As soon as he reached adulthood he looked for a way offworld, he'd find it after convincing a visiting merchant, Kalon Hilbre, to take him on as a bodyguard. 

Then he was off his homeplanet and into the stars. For almost five years he served as a bodyguard to the merchant, protecting the man when he would land on worlds to conduct business, as well as man the ship's cannons when raiders attacked. It was how he first experienced the greater galaxy. He purchased his own starship then ventured out on his own into the world of mercenary work. He would make contact with Usulf, an old mercenary friend of Kalon's who the merchant linked Jer up with. Usulf was a member of the Gold Rancor mercenary band, and Jer would find himself welcomed into the group some time after meeting Usulf. 

The Golden Rancor mercenary company was a well known one across the galaxy, they participated in all sorts of conflicts. Wherever the credits could be made. They'd have a hand in the Great Galactic War which raged throughout the stars. The mercenary band worked for the Sith Empire, often serving as paid shock troopers and frontlines reinforcements. Jer would take part in multiple battles on the Sith side, though he didn't exactly like the Empire. They paid well and the contracts were honest enough. As the war went on the mercenaries continued to participate, while Jer climbed the ranks of the group. As the years rolled by he'd rise into higher roles within the mercenary company. His voice become an important one, and he earned respect from those around him. 

As the war winded down the Golden Rancor company stayed in it until the end, once it subsided and the credits stopped flowing they ended their part in it. The galaxy was never wholly at peace, there were always conflicts and skirmishes to be found. In the last decade Jer met his future wife Sienni, a dancer. They'd fall deeply in love and it would take his focus away from his mercenary group. He'd leve the Golden Rancor band decisively, shortly after his son Adal was born. Now they have very recently all settled down on Ryloth, buying a cozy cabin in a more calm part of the world. He is on his way back to his homeworld to meet up with his family in order to hang up his blaster and retire. But it seems he's found himself pulled into a new conflict.
