Xolarin is a Jedi pupil and Battle Team Leader of Zirael of Clan Odan-Urr. At the ripe age of 38, he was plucked from his rather hum-drum life of sales and freighter work into the Jedi ways. As his father had hid his Force connection, he had no idea the world he would enter one day. Even though he had an inkling that something was different about him, that there was a reason to research more into his father's past, it would surprise him to learn that his Jedi path was his ultimate destiny. Better late than never, they say.
Character History
The Human has a rich history, although much of it is hidden in his father's protective nature. Xolarin has had to piece things together over time.
Early Life
The planet Burnin Konn, Xolarin's adopted homeworldBorn during the Imperial era, his father a Force user with a bit of informal Jedi training, Xolarin's mother passed at his birth and his father had to hide his son or face extermination for both of them. Leaving their home world of Corellia, Marcus took his son to a long-ago friend on the moon of Burnin Konn to be raised.
His past was hidden, his father's whereabouts were hidden, his affinity with the Force was hidden - Xolarin was raised with trading and survival as skills, always perceptive of his surroundings, keen on picking out fine details and liars amongst the swindlers. He received a small amount of proper schooling as a child, but as soon as he could he joined a trading company.
Adulthood
Based off Burnin Konn and nearby Bespin, the small trading company for which Xolarin worked did runs through the system and neighboring systems, but they eventually grew to galactic trade and began to play with the "big boys". All this time, Xolarin went from a simple cargo crewman to first mate on a ship called the Bantha. This vessel carried them all over and Xolarin was exposed to many different worlds and peoples and cultures and political systems.
The Bantha, Ghtroc 720 FreighterThrough the the decades and eras, surviving the empire and rebellion, and coming through on the other side with a decent amount of cash, Xolarin was well into adulthood before he began to wonder about his past. He knew his mother had died at birth and that his father gave him up for adoption, presumably given the burden a baby was on a single father. But deep down he began to realize that was something more. With his cash and his pull on the Bantha, he began to orchestrate missions that would take him to other worlds that could give him clues to his past. The depths of Burnin Konn, Bespin, Corellia, Coruscant, and many other planets were explored.
The middle-aged human was now on a quest of sorts, to find his past, to learn of his family, and to eventually discover his destiny. He knew nothing of his Force connection or of his father's Force training. He knew very little of Corellia, even after hunting for clues in Coronet and other cities. The well would begin to dry up, but his fervor was ever present. Xolarin would find out who he truly was.
Jedi History
Xolarin robed, hood down, lightsaber lit, sage-like poseOne fateful day, while on a simple freighter run, Xolarin followed not a clue or a hard lead, but a hunch. There was a delivery needed and he urged the captain to take the Bantha there. It was there that, while in an off-beat pub, he was approached by Turel Sorenn, who he would soon discover to be a Jedi. This Jedi saw in Xolarin what he had been unknowingly searching for - destiny.
Xolarin would say a quick good-bye to his friends from Burnin Konn and head out to the Jedi headquarters to begin his training. He was almost 40, but those four decades of skill and exploration and knowledge would come in handy. And little did he know, his perceptions and hunches were a key part of his ability to sense and see in the Force. Even as he waited at a bar on Corellia with Turel, he had an odd sense that an event in the news[1] was something that offended him and what he was destined to be.
Xolarin would go with Master Turel and be trained as a Jedi. He would join the newly formed Battle Team Zirael on Kiast and become a strong warrior in the Force. He did not become the ultimate lightsaber combatant, although with some training in Lightsaber Forms and Martial Arts, alongside his growing affinity with telekinetic powers as they relate to the Force, he was a formidable foe in battle.

Description
Xolarin is a very serious person and rarely shows a relaxed or fun tener. He is always stalwart and thoughtful in his stance, constantly taking in his surroundings and internalizing the situation. His connection with the Force is the reason behind this, able to sense and see beyond what most can.
Physical
Tanned skin, mostly-shaved head, mostly-shaved scratchy beard, green eyes, and a scar on the left eye area. He wears as much of the browns and appropriate house and clan colors as possible, always cloaked, wearing his hood most of the time.
Possessions
Xolarin has a few items with him at all times such as a standard all-weather cloak, scavenger light armored clothing, a green-bladed Armory Lightsaber, secured datapad, and more.
Xolarin has also recently come across green holocron that he found on Ilum in lieu of a lightsaber crystal. It appears to be somehow linked to his family, his father, and further research is required.
Most of his older personal gear (including a blaster, Vibrodagger, medkit, comm device, and low-end slicer kit) from before was stored in a private chest upon joining the Jedi Order.
