Jencappa's Backstory

[Jencappa]

I've had several request for me to post this. So hear it is ya'll. Jendel Blackstar of the Wookiee Clan Cappa's backstory!!

Jendel Blackstar’s (Jencappa) history
Parents: Jakan and Niarra Blackstar. Both were adopted by the Wookie clan, Cappa.
Homeworld: Kashyyyk. Jendel was born and raised on the Wookie home world.

For his retirement Jakan Blackstar, an older trader of rare and unusual items of the Outer Rim and beyond, was looking for a quiet world to retire on. He wanted nothing to do with all the new troubles of the Rebellion which had just started. He asked his partner Borcappa if he might know of someplace to retire too. They had spent the last nearly 35 years traveling together as partners. Borcappa immediately offered his home back on Kashyyyk. His family after much convincing and several large bribes had managed not to be taken into slave labor by the Empire. He told Jakan that he and Niarra were more than welcome to stay with his family. Extremely grateful, Jakan sold his ship and moved to Kashyyyk with Niarra, where they were almost immediately adopted by the clan and were made full members and given the name Cappa.

Within a few years of their move to Kashyyyk they had their first child, Jendel. They had several other children but Jakan always paid close attention to Jendel. In his youth he played, wrestled, and climbed around with his Wookie “brothers” and “cousins”. Most of his siblings on the other hand played with just themselves and other humans. Because of this Jendel gained an edge at most physical competitions between him and his human compatriots. As he was growing up he participated in the rights of passage that all wookiees go through which his human siblings did not. It was the day before his bravery passage that the compound was attacked by a katarn. One of the vicious predators of Kashyyk. Being that he felt he could take on this threat alone Jendel went after the katarn on his own. In his stupidity he was gored by the katarn with a slash across his chest and stomach that knocked him down nearly 35 feet onto a branch. His act while stupid was brave and he received his Ryyk blade for it. The Ryyk blade is a sign of respect among wookiees for their bravery.

He also was quick to take up the “family” trade of building ships. He was smart and able. No prodigy at building ships he was on the other hand a d**n good pilot and his reaction time was amazing.

At the edge of 17 Jendel decided he wanted his own ship but couldn’t afford to build a whole new one. He and several of his cousins went to an old ship junkyard. There they found an old Kazellis Corporation Light Freighter that was still in moderately good shape. They also found that the owner of the yard was not only willing to part with it but was closing the yard so he gave Jendel the ship free of charge. Jendel christened his new ship the Ice Hawk and towed her home. When they got it back to the family shipyard they put her in an unused dock and began to repair her. They got the shields back up to a decent level and had the engines humming again in no time. Within 2 years they had the entire ship up to running capabilities with no bugs left in her systems.

At this point and the age of 19 Jendel decided to set out as a private trader like his father. He began his trips to the Core to sell his goods to the New Republic. On one of these trips he met a young man who told him he had the capability to use the Force, that mystical power which is all through the universe. He offered to take Jendel to a special school. Little did Jendel know but the young man was a Sith Lord. In the next 2 years Jendel learned to use the Force and was taught that the Jedi were the bad guys and were trying to run the universe through their manipulations. Towards the end of the second year Jendel finally ran from the school, as he knew they were wrong. Jendel then headed to Luke Skywalker’s Jedi Academy. After talking to Jendel for a bit Master Skywalker decided that Jendel needed to be trained but his temperment would inhibit his training as a Jedi Knight. So Master Skywalker sent him to a specialized school for Jedi where he would be trained as a Jedi. There Jendel was trained for the next three years to use the light side of the Force. Though asked to make a new lightsaber Jendel insisted on using his the one he made at the school for the Sith. It reminds him of his past transgressions and keeps him attuned to the light side of the Force. At the end of his training Jendel was offered a full Jedi Knight position but he knew he was better off as a trader than a Jedi. It allowed him more movement.

Now as a registered trader and wearing nothing to symbolize him as a Jedi, Jendel has taken an oath to convince people that the Jedi are a good thing and to stop any possible threats to the Jedi Order. And with all of this he is also still being hunted by the Sith for he knows some of their secrets. So he also eliminates any Sith that come after him. Which he is more than glad to do at anytime. Though he hopes one day to retire back to Kashyyyk and raise his own family he will keep trading and working as the perfect unknown Jedi.

Now for my backstory:

The circumstances of my birth are not glorious or inspiring. My father was a Zeltron space traveler in a cantina and my mother was a human woman just passing by. If you know anything about zeltrons, you would know that there was no need for romance or courtship, and when my mother gave birth to me she wanted nothing to do with me, so my dear dad took me back to my home planet. I was not like other zeltrons, because even tho I liked to have a good time as much as the next person, I felt no need for the constant partying.
At my coming of age, i felt a need to escape the pressure of the enticing females and disbeleif that my powers were more than just zeltron pharamones, so I moved to Pria, home of the Priapulin.

There I truly understood the subtle cycle of life and death. the priapulin keep small animals known as food-kin, which they feed and raise, then eat. The food-kin are proud to serve their duty as food, and the priapulin give birth to their offspring, starting the cycle again.
I stayed there in the peaceful, watery world for three years before coming here to the jedi order.

I accept your request to become your aprentice, Jencappa, with honor and humility.

Then we shall announce as such my young padawan.
