As he sat on the landing platform waiting for the heavy, outdated cargo loader to get the shipment of hologram bulbs loaded he looked down at his chronometer, 1200 hrs. " 6 hours to kill, might as well go to the cantina." As he walked in to the cantina on tatooine he had the usual weapons check done and handed over his small blaster took a seat at the bar and ordered a drink. As the bartender poured a the translucent green liquid into the cup he saw a large gammorean pass out at the table next to behind him. "What'd he have?" "You don't wanna know." the bartender muttered.
About 6 hours passed and the ship had just been topped off so he payed the platform officer and got into the cockpit. After the routine systems check he took off headed for the corporate sector...

The young man who just took off from tatooine is Avon Grist, the nephew of a rebel ace and a cargo ship pilot. He was in the middle of a routine deliverey when his cockpit alarm went off...

The display flashed, whizzed and blinked a couple times before it was showering sparks all over the cockpit. "Knew I shouldnt've bought these parts from the jawas." The ship lurched and fell out of hyperspace and started spiraling towards the surface of an unknown planet, Avon pressed the button but the impact foam failed to deploy and as the ship was entering the atmosphere Avon's head was slammed on the forward panel, then darkness.
Avon opened his eyes, he saw nothing but barren ground, he decided to get his survival gear and start walking. He looked at his chronometer. "0800 hours. I was out for out for a while." As Avon continued walking until he noticed a settlement in the distance, he made his way to the settlement and saw 2 armed guards patrolling. He hid behind a box and listened to a conversation between the guards "Why do the even have us here man?" one of the guards said " Yeah it's not like any of prisoners are gonna get out." Then Avon sneezed. He knew it was all over, he stood up and the last thing he saw was the guards stun club.

As Avon finally realised he was in some sort of prison he found him self in a small durasteel cell, plain, toilet and bed. He decided to take a nap. Sometime later he was woke by one of the guards and was taken to a plain white room with nothing but a chair in it. The guards forced him into the chair and strapped him, then a thick steel cowl was placed over Avons head and all the sound melted away like ice on tatooine . A blue flash ignited on the screen in front of him and he was staring directly at a mans face. "I am your new master." the face coldly said to him. "YOU ARE MY SOLDIER." the imposing voice echoed throughout his head and the next second he was flooded with thousands of visions of tactical maneuvers, blasters and reapeatedly a burning emblem of the New Republic. The visions became so intense they all blurred into one and the next minute he was back in the cell. As he sat and twiddled his thumbs, he heard the distinct roar of an old photon fusion engines, seeing as how the engines haven't been used the time of the old republic it must've been an old ship. Avon heard the sounds of blaster rifles and a low humming sound, woosh, Avon's cell door whisked open and the soldier said "You are free to go." Avon noticed he was a trance of some sort and that all the cells before his were unlocked with clueless prisoners outside and that he was proceeding to unlock the next cell door. ZZZZZZZZZTTTT, an electric spark from the lock catapulted him off the floor and flying down a huge central shaft he noticed the floor of the cell levels started glowing, a plasma burn, everyone on the floor was doomed, but he noticed a robed figure flying towards him, it swooped up and caught him, he started flying upwards and Avon noticed a lightsaber at the mans belt. As they were running towards the hangar when they encountered several guards but the mysterious figure simply activated his saber and cauterised them. They entered the hangar and the figure motioned him towards an old freighter and the figure activated the computers and took off, they entered hyperspace,but was Avon safe with this figure, or was he headed to a deathtrap?

As Avon Grist awoke on the freighter with the mysterious jedi he asked "Where are we going?" "The time to reveal that information has not yet come, be patient and you will learn." the jedi responded. "Oh great, more of that whimsical jedi nonsense." :glance "Do you know who those guards were?" Avon was clueless, but he decidd to respond anyways "No." With that Avon ate lunch and decided to try and force the information out of him. "Will you tell me where we're going already?" "Fine, the time has come anyways, we are headed for a space station, deep in the outer rim." Avon was confused "But,why?" "Because there you will begin your training." "Training for what?" "You shall become a jedi." Avon was speechless. thousands of questions ran through his head. Isn't the jedi academy on yavin 4?, Why me? Who is this guy? But Avons deep thoughts were interrupted when they lurched out of hyperspace and the space station came into view "Wow, amazing" The jedi none- too- reassuringly replied "Good, It'll be your home for a long time.

And Avon realised he was right, and he spent the rest of his life on the space station.

(really, really sorry about the abrupt ending but I would've had to end it sometime soon but this thread doesn't exactly follow the rules so I have to stop doing cuz I can't think of a way to avert tradgedy, feel free to add what ever you want.)

Starting new character, get Avon out of your head.
