Character History
Known by many as the Dashade Jedi, or simply the Doctor, Xan never had an easy life. It wasn’t until he felt the Force in 38 ABY that he ever had any chance of fully overcoming the beast inside himself.
Early Life 20 ABY-23 ABY
Xan was born and abandoned on Naboo. He was found and raised by a gungan spacer named Pulak, who took the Dashade in. Pulak dealt with the Dashade for a few years before settling on New Tython. He spent the majority of Xans first few years instructing the child on Wobow and Kranni, imprinting the ideas of the Gungan martial art Paonga on the young one. When Xan turned three Pulak decided to train the boy in the art, and was pleased to see the boy excell. He also prided Xan on using the ideals of the Martial Art to fend off the hunger that consumes his race.
Even so Xan’s early life had some troubles, including being jumped by a group of people who wanted to kill him for his race. Xan handled himself well, and Pulak fought them off, though was injured in the process. Xan carried the injured Gungan using strength beyond what he actually had. The boy did not know he could call on the Force, and it was dismissed as adrenaline. Xan brought Pulak to a doctor and was amazed at what medicine could do.
The Medic 23 ABY-38 ABY
After saving Pulak, Xan became interested in medicine and Pulak helped him get trained by the New Tythonian military. At the age of three Xan was one of the youngest, yet most studious of all his colleges. While it wasn’t until he was in his early teens that he was allowed out in the field, he covered many shifts as a diagnostician and emergency surgeon by the age of seven. By all accounts he was a medical prodigy, though no one ever understood why. Pulak continued to teach him in Paonga, and helped Xan overcome his hunger.
Then came the day that marked Xan as a real medic. In mid 34 ABY, he was training with Pulak when the two were attacked. Pulak was run through several times with blades, however Xan, losing control, fought off his attackers. He regained control of himself in time to save Pulak with the use of bacta. This marked him as a full medic, since he miraculously brought someone from the brink of near death to a stable condition.
The Force 38 ABY- 39 ABY
In the middle of a skirmish against some smugglers, Xan felt a presence he had never felt before. After the skirmish ended, he went to get himself checked out, and when nothing was medically wrong, he went to the Jedi, believing he had been cursed, or that his hunger was overcoming him. The Jedi ran tests on the Dashade, accepting him for his exploits as a doctor, and ignoring his race.
When it was discovered he could touch the Force, Xan did not know what to think. He was pulled from his colleagues for a while, and made the rank of Jedi Knight quickly. Even though some Jedi condoned his use of lightning, and his willingness to experiment with the Force, none could deny that he had earned the rank after hearing of his exploits before being a Jedi.
Tania and Xan
Xan was raised almost entirely as a medic, making friends with a girl his age who wanted to be like him. When Xan learned about his ability to touch and use the Force, Tania had just gotten out of Medical school. The two spent the next year working together in clinics, though at times Xan was called away on missions. As one of Xan’s few actual friends, Xan holds her in high regard.
Physical Description
Tall, even for a Dashade, Xan is built much like most members of his species. His skin is dark grey, and his eyes orange. He is covered in a number of scars from many fights, and carries himself with a moderate amount of pride, making him seem taller than he really is.
He has recently taken to wearing a set of Wyvern armor with a robe when out in the field, but still wears Ender robes when roaming New Tython or going to formal occasions.
Gear
Yellow Bladed Lightsaber, Fists, Synergy WLD-5 "Peacekeeper" with Iron trim.
