Ton'zonaq Surool

Physical Description
A bit on the shorter side, Ton'zonaq is lean and nimble. His skin is mostly blue with just a touch of green. He walks with a confident swagger and dresses in clothing practical for combat with several blaster pistols openly holstered at his hip and chest. This often leads to him being mistaken for a mercenary, an impression which he does little to disuade.

Biography
Ton'zonaq Surool was born to the life of a Jedi. As a child, he was accepted into the Jedi academy and began his training as a Youngling. He made progress quickly and was often lauded for the high potential he displayed. As time went on and the expectations on him increased, the pressure became too much for Ton'zonaq to handle. One night, he snuck out of his dormitory and had himself smuggled offworld.

Once he was out on his own, he passed himself off as older and joined a band of mercenaries. Some were suspicious of his origins, but his aptitude for combat quickly silenced these voices. He continued on this path for many years, learning the trade as well as the hard facts of life in the galaxy.

Everything changed for Ton'zonaq Surool after one particular mission. His group was caught in an ambush. Although Ton'zonaq and his squad fought fiercely, they were overwhelmed. Most of his allies were killed, and the rest were taken prisoner. Although Ton'zonaq and his surviving allies were eventually bought out of captivity by their employer, the feeling of helplessness he had experienced during combat staying with him. As he meditated on how he could improve himself so as never to be caught in such a situation again, he remembered the training he had started as a youth.

The next day, Ton'zonaq boarded a ship bound for the Jedi academy. Once there, he begged to be considered for re-admittance. Seeing the sincerity of his request, he was accepted. Due to his age, he was made into a Padawan, and his training commenced.
