BIOGRAPHY
"Well, I was not exactly abandoned, my dear. I was just..." Alguz stopped for a second and returned his eyes to the woman he was talking to. She was a middle-aged human, and yet full of strength and vigor, dressed in very simple clothes, it was clear that she was just a common woman, with a simple life. Then he continued "I can understand why my parents left me. You know, war is a horrendous thing and makes you react in ways that, later in life, you'll look back and just shake your head and carry that terrible decision you made, forever." His eyes were now staring at the clouds "But there's one thing that will make them feel better, and it is - forgiveness."
A moment later, a very fast-paced sound of footsteps just entered the room where they were in, it was a little girl, with long black hair and brown eyes, and she said "Daddy, daddy!" while she was jumping "Uncle mayor wants to say things to you!". She should be 4 or 5. A tall man entered the room as if he was an old friend, he didn't even announce his arrival "Friend, could you give us a little hand with some logs?" the mayor asked in a very informal and friendly tone, Alguz hugged the woman and said "Dear, I'll be back when the sun is down. Please prepare something awesome for dinner, I think our friend here will take me apart today", and he grinned signalizing that it was just a little joke. Alguz was more than happy to help the townspeople, he was often helping the doctor, or helping the constructors, to rebuild their city. It was not an easy task since being so far from the core, the outer rim planets were always targeted by all sorts of criminals. That was also one of his major tasks, protect and maintain those people safe.
After years and years training with his Jedi brethren, he was knighted. The Jedi Order was so different now from what he read about. They were more lenient and understanding of all the inner fights and struggles that one goes thru during his life. Maybe that's the secret of the light side? But Alguz carried a guilt in his heart, and he always lied about that, he never told that he was a father and had a family. What would the order do? That was unprecedented in the past, at least for his knowledge.
"I hope no one ever discovers this and take them away from me." Alguz thought while looking back to his little home in the middle of nowhere.
Alguz loved them so much, he would do anything for his family. Maybe that was why the Old Jedi Order would never allow a Jedi to marry or even have children. "But now our code just says - Passion, yet serenity. - I think I'm serene enough..." he was thinking while walking towards the construction site and using the force to make him stronger and able to carry a very large and heavy log "However, what would I do if... what would be my reaction if something happens to them?". The new Jedi Order had several teachings about several things, but that was the one thing he never asked about. He was too afraid of what they would say, of what the council would legislate about that, or of what they would think of that question. How they would gauge his serenity. The silence was his best friend when he was at the Jedi Temple.
And those were his days, his routine, helping people in the middle of nowhere, trying to do good and keep the bad people away. From time to time he would go back to the Jedi Temple to help his brothers with a specific task, but that was rare. We are living a peaceful life now.
"Peace, what a beautiful word." he smiled walking towards the next log.
Personality
Alguz was a simple man, living a simple life. He never wanted anything big or even less to become someone notorious. To him, living a simple life, trying his best to help everyone around him, was enough. The Jedi Order made that a possibility, they made him a strong, modest, and nice young adult, and when he left the temple he was just that, a good person.
When he was a padawan, he never lied, was always smiling and had a light-heart. Alguz didn't know the world very well, for what all he had was the Order, and "How would you ever be able to feel bad surrounded by such good and kind people?" Were his thoughts. Always trying to help whenever he could, cleaning the floor, carrying stuff, or whatever it was, he was there ready to serve, even the simpler jobs.
He could notice that some people were just focused on training and learning how to fight better, but in his mind, he just wanted to help and honor those that helped him when he was in need - when he was abandoned.
His parents abandoned him when he was just a little kid, they left because he could not run and stumbled on the floor, and they could not carry him having all their belongings to carry as well. War made them run away and fly to another planet, but their belongings were more important at that moment. He still remembered that moment, he could almost touch the vehicle that their parents used to flee.
What a sad memory, but he just wanted one thing, he wanted to forgive them. War was a horrible thing.
Later in life, having his own family, wife and one daughter, he learned to lie. It was not something he really wanted to do, but he was afraid of losing what he loved the most in his life, "Would the council take him away from his family? Would they do that if they knew?". He was too afraid to even consider those possibilities.
It was when he killed the first person, it was a criminal indeed, he deserved to die, but that was horrible. Alguz could still remember the gasps of that poor human, trying to breathe and not being able, and the very moment when life disappeared from the eyes of that now dead body. That made him resolve that he would always try to settle things peacefully, or at least, try to avoid killing someone. Every single living being could be restored, at least that was what he thought, or what a Jedi should consider.
Skills
Alguz was considered an average Force user, he knew almost all the tricks, as he called it, but nothing major. However, during his early studies, he was able to become very well versed with Force Enhancement and Force Sense. Also, during his early training on those two powers, he was able to use them to perfect even more his swordsmanship, making him faster and stronger in a fight. Even though fighting was not something he really liked to do - he got used to it. Even more after being knighted, since he was for several times seeing himself in the middle of a raid and being attacked by criminals. They were simply everywhere.
The criminals were also one of the reasons why he was able to learn other little things that otherwise he would not learn during his time in the Jedi Temple. The people of the little city he was helping were always targeted by them and for years and years, the criminals had the upper hand. Things didn't change when Alguz arrived, in the end, he was just one - he was limited. But, after years dedicating himself to study the old war books, about strategy and tactics, and how to better go against larger and better-equipped forces, Alguz was able to improve the city's defenses and started to lead very small but effective assaults against the criminal's base of operations.
It was indeed just a small independent group of people that, relying on smuggled and stolen equipment, were effectively a far superior force, but they really were just very well-armed civilians. Far from being experienced ex-soldiers or even even a paramilitary force. So, Alguz could, little by little, dismantle their operations with his newly acquired knowledge and made them move away. It was not that hard, but Alguz knew that he was successful just because they didn't have that knowledge.
To protect the city, and more importantly, his wife and daughter, he needed to improve and learn more about how to better protected and bring peace.
Strangely enough, by learning how to make war.
