Biography
Verrj was born on the Naboo system to loving parents. His father was a moderately successful bounty hunter by the alias Eclipse, and his infamy to rivals drove his family to relocate in several systems, including Telos, Nar Shaddaa, New Alderaan and Dantooine to name a few. His mother was shot dead by such a rival who had originally aimed for Eclipse. This took place while Verrj was only seven standard years old. He and his father buried his mother on Naboo and relocated several times a year after that.
When Verrj was about fourteen Eclipse decided to give himself up to CSF and used the bounty he earned on himself to set up an account for his son when he got older. It totaled up to several tens of thousands of credits, enough to support him in relative comfort for many years. At Eclipse's hearing a Jedi Knight happened to be present by the name of Jacob Murano. He arranged for Verrj to become a student in the Jedi Order and eventually took him on as his Padawan learner, along with Coryn Vinoda.
Verrj reached the rank of Jedi Apprentice at the age of seventeen. His duties included monitoring the hangar bay activity for the Yavin VII Enclave and maintaining the probe droids and combat droids in the Enclave's Dojo, which he calls his second home. He passed the ages-old Jedi test of constructing his own lightsaber, and he never leaves his quarters without it. He has named it Vigilante, in honor of his father who had a sense of justive despite his lawless profession.
Verrj attained the rank of Jedi Knight about half a year after his promotion to Apprentice, reflecting how dedicated he has been to his training. He has taken on two Padawans of his own, Belis Toobin the blind Mandalorian, and Senmr Goran, the ex-Sith brother of Shianni Hord. He has begun teaching various courses for younger Padawans, such as basic Force Powers and Lightsaber Combat. He hopes now to integrate himself as one of the main instructors of Jedi at the Yavin VIII Enclave. He no longer cares about promoting or gaining rank, because he can finally do what he's trained since childhood to do: Serve as a Jedi and teach others to do the same.
Background
Verrj, known as V to his friends, is an energatic, excitable young man. He is seriously dedicated to the Jedi Order and goes at his duties with 100% focus. He spends every free minute he can at the Training Dojo, where he practices the acrobatic Form IV, Ataru, at a high degree of intensity. While on most things he is humble and easygoing, he believes himself to be the most accomplished Form IV user in the Enclave short of Verse and Tessa themselves, though he'd never phrase it that way.
He makes friends easily and has even acquired a girlfriend by the name of Rainy Hail. The two of them had rarely talked before getting together, but they have grown attached to each other since then and are proceeding well, considering they each have their committment to the Order first and foremost. His best friend is Coryn Vinoda, who like Verrj is an Apprentice and Padawan learner to Jacob Murano. They refer to each other as V and Cor, and also have given themselves the title of Learner-brothers. While Coryn outdoes even Verrj in social graces and outgoing nature, they remain close friends.
V is also possessed of a certain aggression problem that has manifested more and more as he gets more accomplished in Ataru, an aggressive Form of combat that relies on constant attacks and acrobatic movements. It has gotten him in hot water with the Sith Knight known as Hydrocus, thanks in part to his interfering with the Sith's converting fellow Jedi Shianni Hord, to whom V feels a certain "older brother" responsibility. He is at the point where he will almost attack Hydrocus on sight, or at least within Jedi territory.
