FACTION: Jedi Order
RANK: Knight
SPECIES: Human
HOMEWORLD: Vardos
AGE: 25
HEIGHT: 6'3

Force Sensitive: Yes
Biography: Born on Vardos, Ash was part of a family with deep connections to the Five Syndicates. He however grew up relatively normal, though surrounded by friends and family who were part of very dangerous operations and were connected to some very dangerous people. They dealt in everything from drugs, to guns, to people. They were smugglers and con-men, pirates and murderers. But they were his friends, his family. So he did nothing, reported no one even though he knew what they were doing was wrong and despicable.
None of this particularly affected Ash prior to a shootout in which he was caught between his family and a rival gang. At fourteen he was skimmed by a blaster bolt, which rocketed just past his face burning off most of the skin and muscle in and around his cheek, leaving his teeth visible and his right eye blinded. He doesn't know which side of the fight shot him, whether it was friend or foe. His face was beyond repair, and he couldn't afford the tremendously expensive treatments to even begin to attempt to repair the damage.
So, embittered towards life and all things in general, he left. He wandered the stars for three years, before arriving at Ajan Kloss, looking to see the fabled new Jedi temple. There, he discovered his sensitivity to the force, and despite initial misgivings about the supposed space wizards, joined their order. From there he embarked on a journey of personal healing, eventually reaching the rank of Jedi Knight.
Personality: Ash might be described as sullen, and despite slowly healing from the emotional damage the wound to his face had caused, he is still a generally bitter man. Though perhaps that is also because of where he spends his time. He learned the technique of force healing with the hopes it could heal his face, but finding that even the force couldn't do it, he decided to put the knowledge to use anyway and traveled the galaxy to war torn sites and assisted in hospitals and battlefields.
Though often this is at the exclusion of all else. He never remembers to relax or 'turn off' so his mental state suffers for it. He is constantly around atrocity and failure, and people's initial reaction when they first look at his face does nothing for his esteem. He is a stressed workaholic who has seen far too much already.
