Gand (Jedi Youngling)

This Gand is a Jedi Initiate on Coruscant. After this Gand awoke in the ways of the Force, this Gand was sent to the Jedi Order to avoid the hard, taxing, and cruel life of a Findsman, to which this Gand's parents judged this Gand unsuited.

History
This Gand was born on the planet of Taris, to two Gand immigrants who worked as smugglers. This Gand's father, Dorak, had a wide repute as a talented shipsman, and as such, this Gand enjoyed a relatively comfortable early life, though the family would always remain teetering on the edge of poverty.

As he grew, this Gand would reveal a sensitive soul, one easily frightened, but charitable. This young Gand would always help those who he found in need, though the other children in this Gand's community often took advantage of this kindness. This left the young Gand in the awkward position of trying to help others, while always being afraid of betrayal, failure and mockery.

In this Gand's early years, this Gand began to display hints of force prowess. Though the Gand's family tried to ignore this, it soon become unavoidable, when the young Gand accidentally hurt one of the Gand's bullies with his power. This caused much of the superstitious village to distrust the young Gand, and the Gand's torment only grew worse.

Dorak at first was certain that the young Gand would be a findsman, but Dorak's wife convinced Dorak that the young Gand did not have the cutthroat nature necessary for such a profession. As such, with a heavy heart, Dorak and Dorak's wife sent the young Gand away to the Jedi Academy on Coruscant, where the young Gand's parents hoped that the young Gand would be helped and looked after.

This Gand was eventually inducted into the Boma Youngling Clan, where this Gand hopes to make many friends and hone this Gand's abilities. Perhaps one day this Gand will become a true Jedi, and this Gand will earn a name. However, that is a long ways off. For now, this Gand focuses on The Gathering, which this Gand knows will test this Gand's abilities greatly.
