BIOGRAPHY
Nede's father was a bounty hunter who, while not necessarily famous, was relatively successful nonetheless. This led to Nede being dragged around with him, his mother dying early on in his life due to illness and his father not wanting to just leave him beyond when it was time to work. As he grew older this led to Nede learning from his father various things, chief among them how to fly the starship they basically lived on and how to handle a blaster just in case anything happened. Even with this though, Nede's father kept the truth of his work from the boy until he was old enough to understand, and refused Nede's help when offered. While not regretting his choices he wanted something different for his son, something greater.
On one job things went particularly bad though, and he ended up making an enemy of the Hutt Clan. His father was killed, and Nede was taken in as a slave. Forced to fight as entertainment for his captors he thought his life was over, but then a stranger appeared and bought him. This stranger was a member of the Eternal Legion, although he never revealed this to Nede. Instead he simply explained that he had felt the force in the boy and would train him to achieve his full potential. Over the course of a couple of months Nede was taught the basics of the force and lightsaber combat, unknowingly being groomed to one day fight Jedi. Nede's connection to the force was awakened when his new owner almost killed him, barely saving his life and opening up a new future.
Even with this though, Nede wasn't just going to sit by and be a slave now that he had a chance. He staged an escape, but his owner was ready. A fight broke out between the two, and while he by far was the weaker of the pair his owner was taken by surprise as he had expected to gain an apprentice rather than fight to the death. In a force clash the man's lightsaber was destroyed, and without a weapon eventually fell to Nede who had stashed a vibroblade to try and escape with. Nede sufered massive injuries though, and had to receive medical care to stay alive. After this he sought out the Jedi Order, hoping to learn how to control the strength he now had

PERSONALITY
While the Jedi have given Nede a sense of purpose and direction, he is still to an extent lost. With his father dead and remembering what he had to do to survive, their is a part of him that whispers he will never make things right. As he strives to control himself and move forwards to try and help the galaxy as much as possible he feels the call of the dark side, tempting him to just give in and embrace the turmoil of his past. Still, he is determined to find his path nonetheless.
His tight grip on his emotios can make him seem detached to others, seemingly uncaring even as he reaches out. Once someone has spent enough time around him to understand this though, they will recognise he is a loyal friend who is simply scarred by the past. When comfortable he is much more open to others. Even in general he is polite and pleasant enough. He will help anyone who asks him, seeing any act of positivity he can perform as another step on the path of redemption.
SKILLS
After awakening to the Force but not receiving training straight away, Nede's abilities are a little rough around the edges. Despite his commitment to do no harm he actually finds it easier to tap into aspects of the force more suited to confrontation. Telekinesis, Force Enhancement, and Force Weapon make up his main skillset, but being with the Jedi has led to a very basic understanding of Force Healing and Tutaminis (Force Absorption). When it comes to using a lightsaber he is proficient with the first form Shii-Cho, but has also learned the second form Makashi and form 3 Soresu to be able to protect himself against enemies with both ranged and melee capabilities. He will not go for any kind of damaging strike against an enemy, except when failing to do so will absolutely guarantee harm to an innocent person.
He is also a decent pilot, while no ace fighter he can handle a starship well enough. His father also taught him how to use a blaster before he was killed and Nede is comfortable with using ranged weapons, although he opts for the non-lethal stun pistol in recent days.
