'== Character History ==

Early Life

Benn was born on Yavin 4 in the year 2 BBY. His father, a Y-Wing pilot, died in the attack of the first Death Star. His mother took him and fled for the core worlds and settled on Ralltiir when the Rebels abandoned Yavin 4 for Hoth.

His mother noticed early on that he had a connection to the Force. She did her best to teach him control and guide his upbringing. As he aged, she realized she would have to find someone to help teach Benn. Someone that would teach right from wrong. More importantly, someone that would train him in the ways of the Force. It was doubtful Ralltiir would have what they needed.

Adolescent/adult years

Benn and his mother became farmers in the small community of humans that lived on Ralltiir. It was during this time Benn discovered his love for the land and for cooking. Farming taught him the benefits of fresh produce and using fresh ingredients for his cooking.

It was also during this time Benn became a voracious reader. Benn read any and everything he could find. Histories, sciences, literature, sports, crime, and anything to do with cooking. Sadly the libraries on Ralltiir did not offer much in the way of Jedi teachings.

Benn's mother died when he was 17 standard years old. Upon her deathbed she gave Benn a large clear crystal. Telling him to take it and keep it safe, She told him of her time as a young girl on the planet Jedha and how she spent her younger years in the Holy City there as an acolyte in the Temple of the Kyber. She had been given the crystal as a gift on one of her life days, prior to her family leaving to join the resistance. After a respectful time of grieving, he set out on his quest for more knowledge.

Working as a cook or freight handler, Benn hopped star cruisers for different planets. He spent time on Corulag reading any and everything about the Force. It wasn't much.

He did learn the popular cooking styles though and was asked to be the chef for a local magistrate after winning a cooking competition. Ben spent a couple of years here and a couple of years there. Eventually, two or three other planets later, he eventually ended up on Coruscant.

He took up residence at the ground level in an attempt to survive. Violating numerous laws, he snuck into the ruins of the Jedi Temple. There was little left in the way of knowledge there. Benn discovered that the great library, and the black market had much more information, books, data cubes, and anything else he could find. Though the latter required him to have to perform some rather unsavory actions in order to pay for some of the requested items.

He learned the different ways of using his Force abilities, though he had many mishaps and received little information on techniques. He did find information on different sword styles and meditation techniques though, and was soon proficient in the style of fighting called Shii-Cho.

Using simple metal rods, Benn discovered his strength allowed him to hammer his opponents into submission. He often wondered if he had a lightsaber, if it would be as effective as the rod was. He also knew from the welts and bruising on his legs and torso that he needed to learn to defend himself better.

Run in with a Sith and coming to New Tython

It was during his time on Coruscant that Benn was approached by a member of the Sith. This Master could see the potential in the young man, and he relished the possibility of turning such a naïve Force user. Teasing Benn with the wonders of the Brotherhood, he convinced the young and aspiring Jedi wannabe, to go to a planet known as New Tython. Home of a clan of like minded thinkers, ones that believed in the Light side of the Force. There he would be trained properly, and find the answers he had been searching for.

In the year 19 ABY Benn turned 22 years old and he celebrated his life day by arriving on New Tython.

Quiet and reserved Benn felt very out of place around many younger Padawans and Jedi. Thankfully his eagerness to learn impressed his teachers. His use of the training saber and understanding of the Schii-Cho soon showed his strengths and weaknesses. Eventually he was able to defend himself. With the records, books, and datacrons available his understanding in the ways of the Force expanded immensely. Aside from his passion for cooking, Benn discovered he had a knack for healing and simple medical procedures.

Though living among the members of Clan Odan-Urr, Benn has not been active aside from assisting when asked. He has always preferred to remain in the background and in the kitchen more often than not.

Life in the Brotherhood

He went on many diplomatic missions, with different Jedi Masters to learn the craft. And while he became quite good at being a diplomat, he was better known as a chef. Discovering food often would be welcome, Benn would cook up meals for the different diplomats to eat as they discussed treaties.

The Clan leaders and Jedi Masters decided it was time for Benn to take his final test. Create his own lightsaber. Benn designed a long shafted saber that fit his grip and then meditated on the Kyber crystal he had been given by his mother..

Imbuing it with his love for the earth and trees, his passion for cooking, his desire for knowledge and most of all his wish for peace. The crystal became a rich, vibrant green color.


The Death of New Tython and the move to Kiast

In 34 ABY New Tython was attacked and it’s biosphere ripped asunder by order of the then Grand Master, Darth Pravus. Benn survived the invasion and destruction of New Tython, barely. Injured in both mind and body He withdrew from the Clan. His grief at not being able to save more of his fellow Jedi or to find a way to convince his enemies not to attack bothered him, but mostly the loss of all his cooking equipment that caused the greatest sadness.

Rebuilding his life and a new home on Kiast

Benn decided to make his new home on the planet Kiast. Finding some usable land in the outermost grounds of the Jedi Praxeum in the Or’ena Mountains. |image= |image=

He designed a simple home with a large open area for guests, dining, cooking and study. Off to one side he had sleeping quarters and a bath put in. On the other side is a hall leading to a garage to store his speeder bike and his Delta-7B Aethersprite starship. As well as the hall leading to his "meditation" place. An octagonal open air room. Here, no matter the weather, he meditates once a day to clear his mind.

There is a large kitchen area in the main room with a massive walk in pantry/refrigerator. Attached to that is a walk in freezer.

The study area, diagonally opposite the kitchen has bookshelves lining the wall and shelves acting as other walls. A large comfortable chair sits in the middle of the area, and the communications holo-console is in this area too.

Numerous gardens of all kinds surround the house, many tended by the younglings, novices and padawans attending classes and living at the Praxeum.

Always willing to learn a new recipe, Benn often is in the kitchens helping cook for the academy, as well as cooking up his own dishes to serve.

He has become an unofficial teacher to those that wish to understand how the Force is intertwined with everything around it, from plants to the ground to the air.

When not in the kitchen or gardens, Benn is often times found in the library his nose buried in an ancient scroll or datacron trying to glean more information on how the force works within the universe

Lost Family?

While searching his lat mothers personal journals, and cross referencing the Praxeum archives, Benn accidentally discovered he has brother and sister who were? Are? Members of a elite squad of soldiers the Rebels have? Had? Much of the information is garbled and fragmentary. The comments in the journals are full of bitter comments and filled with hate and anger at her husband's sleeping around. So the information is not confirmed. Other journals mention other half brothers and sisters from other dalliances his father had, Benn has not taken the time to look into any of this information.
