Jagan Roda is a Human from the planet Onderon. A former Jedi, he abandoned the order shortly after the Great Jedi Purge, feeling betrayed by the weakness of the order he abandoned his lightsabers into the depths of the Kashyyk underworld, and left any trace of his former self behind him with it. After leading a life of seclusion for many years he came out of hiding around 10BBY, when he took up a new life travelling the galaxy as a hired mercenary for any who could line his pockets. In his fairly old age he currently resides in the various ruins of Dantooine, living off the great force contained in its various crystal caves and ancient enclave

Character History

Early Life (41BBY - 32BBY)

Family Life

Jagan was born to Filan and Belle Roda on the planet of Onderon, just outside of Isis. Jagan's father, Filan, was a merchant. He was not all that succesful though, bringing just about enough money in to keep his small family going. Due to his lack of credits, it was lucky even that he could afford a place for them to live, yet he managed to purchase a small, one-room house a few miles outside of Isis. It wasn't as close to the markets as all of the top traders, but it was close to enough to get a fairly good days trading. For Jagan though, life in the outskirts of the city, on the edges of the jungles of Onderon was great. Even from such the early age of 6 Jagan was able to navigate the forests easily on his own, jumping from tree to tree with relative ease. It was through these long stints in the jungle, exploring, that he became fairly adept with the wilderness. He saw it as his true home and felt a great connection with the animals there.

Jagan's life was soon to be turned on its head though. On a family trip to the capital Isis, Jagan's parents were struck down by a hijacked speeder leaving the city, the culprits fleeing into the distance. All Jagan had learnt in the jungle was useless to him, his parents laid dead, and he was alone.

The city of Onderon where Jagan was forced to spend the unhappiest times of his childhood, alone and unloved.

Soon after this, Jagan was taken into the care of the Isis Orphange, where he was looked after well by the staff there. They found it hard to control Jagan at first, as he longed to be outside in the jungle again, running free. He had not yet recovered from the loss of his parents either. He stayed with the orphange for a year, yet he never really settled. The other children would avoid Jagan, for he acted hostile towards them as he had never really interacted with people other than his parents. Jagan increasingly showed threatening behaviour to the other orphans to get his way, and in an extremely heated argument he nearly broke one of the kids arms straight off.

The carers did not know what to do with Jagan anymore, he was nearly 8 now and still had found no home. The day after the incident they came to a decision. Jagan was to be sent away to the mining colonies, as it did not look likely that with Jagan's behavior that he would ever be fostered. This was not a fate the carers here had given any child before, but they had heard of it from other planets in the galaxy, but they saw this as the only way. They came into Jagan's room to retrieve him and his belongings, but he had gone. Jagan had run away.

Jungles of Onderon

Jagan fled deep into the jungles of Onderon, in the only place he could really call home. While there he found his old house, broken and tattered(probably due to scavenger raids that went on out here). Yet he found the vines that encased it somewhat homely, and it gave him a comforting feel. So he tunnelled inside the little house and made his new home here, using bits of old material strewn about the place and things he found in the jungle to make a bed.

The jungles and forests of Onderon where Jagan trained himself in the arts of survival.

He lived like this for many, many months, living off the food that he could hunt for himself. He became primitive, lacking social skills, but had adapted incredibly to his surroundings. He reached a suberb level of fitness and somehow became able to far out stretch the regular limits of humans. He adapted his own methods of focus, all he had to do was really concentrate on his taks at hand and he could move at incredibly fast speeds and jump to massive heights. This just seemed very normal to Jagan though, as he had never been tolf by other people that these feats were unnatural, only those of the order of the Jedi had ever shown such feats.

Jagan's abilities were soon to be put to the test though on one of his numerous 'missions' into Isis. Jagan regularly snuck back into the city with great stealth and stole from the various markets. Jagan had snuck past the city gates and was in one of the larger markets already, checking out the potential merchandise. He waited for a few seconds, then speedily dashed across the marketplace, grabbing whatever wares he could find in a hectic rush. Jagan was fast, but he had not perfected the art of going unnoticed yet, at least not within the city. The market tradesmen had become wise to Jagan's exploits before, and this time they were prepared. They had set up a perimeter around the marketplace to trap him. He leapt across the men guarding the entrance and managed to hide underneath a pile of rubble. He had a chance to escape, but he was blocked by a group of men attacking an old man. Jagan needed to escape quickly, but he could not leave the man here to die, something inside his being felt a great connection to him. Against his better judgement he turned around and fought off the muggers as the man regained conciousness, but with his time to escape having run out, Jagan was caught.

As the authorites began to walk Jagan away, the man stood up and told them to stop. He revealed himself to be Tor D'Jarik, a jedi. He was impressed by Jagan's considerable talent in the force without any previous training and decided to take him to Coruscant for Jedi training. Despite initial doubts, Jagan saw this as his only route out of prison, so went with the Jedi.
