DISTINGUISHING MARKS: A 10cm-ish scar on his right arm, was given to him after being cut during a fight with a thug in a city on the planet Bakura.
FORCE SENSITIVE: Yes, but he doesn't know it.
STRENGTH: Willow is stronger than the average citizen, but after spending quite some time living in a forest without a huge amount of nourishment, Willow is certainly on the lower end of the spectrum compared to those with proper fighting experience.
DEXTERITY: Willow has spent a few years living in the forests and so has learned to be light on his feet, making him superbly agile and great at sneaking up on others.
CONSTITUTION: Willow is very physically fit due to his life in the forests, and very rarely gets ill.
INTELLIGENCE: Willow had a good knowledge of politics and history, but due to his isolation in the last few years he lacks knowledge on more recent events. He is a quick learner and possesses brilliant combat instincts.
WISDOM: Willow has not experienced a life besides his sheltered life with his parents in Gesco City and his more recent life of hunting and killing in the harsh conditions of the Bakuran forests.
CHARISMA: Before leaving his parents in Gesco, Willow was adept at persuasion and once talked his way out of being caught stealing a loaf of bread. However, his skills have deteriorated due to a lack of human contact in the last few years.

PERSONALITY:
Willow is a compulsive spirit who wears his heart on his sleeve, always speaking his mind without considering the repercussions of what he says. He began as a very optimistic person, but after he was banished from the City of Gesco, he became bitter and cynical, which explains why he chose to live his life in the forests of Gesco. Becoming something of a loner, Willow is unlikely to make friends unless they build trust with him. However, Wilow is smart enough to appear friendly with others if it will benefit him.

Primarily Willow will prefer to work alone at all times due to his trust issues and takes a quiet approach to most conflicts whenever possible. Willow isn't brave enough to engage in a 1 vs 1 duel with anyone unless he has a clear advantage and when outnumbered, he will run. With no alliances or loyalties, Willow doesn't have a care in the world for anyone.

Willow doesn't support any major faction and has his problems with each. He finds the Imperium incompetent, the Jedi Order are a collection of fools who follow arbitrary rules, the Rebels are fighting a pointless fight and the Hutt Cartel are far too concerned with money.

BIOGRAPHY:
Willow was born in the City of Gesco on his home planet of Bakura, to parents David and Amelia. His father was a local trader who ran a small kiosk in the city. Willow received a basic education and stood out as a bright student, as well as being particularly skilled in the art of persuasion. By the age of 17 he was working for his father, and it became apparent he was going to take over when his father retired. Willow had 2 younger brothers, Richard and Eric, with Richard becoming particularly jealous of Willow.

At 19, on another ordinary, quiet night at the shop, a customer opened the door and collapsed to the floor. Willow rushed to his side, a dagger stuck to his back, and attempted to help him. This wasn't a very convincing story for the guards or the judges, who deemed that Willow had committed the crime. Due to the dubious evidence provided, the city decided to not be too harsh on Willow and sentenced for him to be banished from the city.

What really rattled Willow wasn't his being banished, it was his father denouncing him in an effort to avoid any negative stigma associated with his son. Things went so far, that David claimed Willow wasn't a "true Bennett" and announced that Richard would be taking over the shop. Having been betrayed, Willow left the city and instead of travelling to a new town, found solace in the forests of Gesco, away from any human contact.

Willow spent 4 years in the forests, learning to hunt and scavenge, and how to become accurate with a blaster, one of the only items he brought with him. He also learned to be silent, mastering the art of stealth, at least when it comes to sneaking up on animals. However, Willow also discovered something that changed his life. Deep in the forests, Willow came upon an abandoned mining facility. The facility was nearly entirely bare, in one of the caverns, Willow found shards of red crystals. Having studied for on the power of Lightsabers, he realised that power was in his grasp. He took the shards and for the first time in 4 years, he returned to civilisation by going to the capital city of Salis D'aar, acquiring the help of a Kurtzen force-user in exchange for a favour. The shards couldn't be formed into a full Lightsaber, but they were crafted into multiple smaller knives, small enough to throw at opponents.

With his expectations not quite met, Willow decided to leave Bakura, paying for transport. To where? He's not quite sure.
