Bio[edit]

Appearance[edit]

Jo'ron is a fairly tall adolescent with fair skin suprisingly not tainted by his time on Nal Hutta. His hair is black and usually a buzzcut. Normally he can be found wearing the standard uniform when not in the field and any other time he's dressed in SCOPE armor. His DC-15 blaster pistol is always holstered on his hip and a rifle is slung across his back at all times. Topping it off with two combat knives attached to the belt on his hip, Jo'ron tries not to overdue it like many of his fellow teammates.

Personality[edit]

Jo'ron's not your stereotypical soldier, especially since he's a free-spirit type of person. Despite the times in his past where he had to act cold-blooded towards those who intended to do him harm, he's always in an upbeat mood. He's the type of soldier that makes those in his squad laugh simply because he'll crack a joke in the toughest of situations and still not break a nervous sweat. Truth be told he has learned to hold in all of his negative emotions and always keep a positive attitude since showing any sign of weakness when dealing with those in the underworld lead to a premature death at the end of a blaster bolt. The last thing you'd want to do is underestimate him, for his past has seasoned him to not hesitate to pull the trigger at whoever is in his way.

History[edit]

Jo'ron Tallus is the only child of two Imperial Diplomats originally living on Coruscant before moving to the Empire capitol world of Lotaith. From a young age his parents pressured him to seek a career similar to theirs; the diplomatic side of things were a bore to him and the life of the military seemed too rigid for a young and freedom-seeking Jo'ron. Instead he took it upon himself to take a more darker route, per se, as the pressure of his parents constantly driving him towards Imperial life would bring him to abandon his home and make his way back towards the inner core system in the pursuit of freedom and excitement. With enough credits stolen from his credits as he could, Jo'ron would eventually find himself back on Coruscant after several weeks of journey on a non-aligned merchant vessel. He purchased a blaster pistol with what he had left, and made his way towards the undercity where he'd quickly find himself thrusted into the world of illegal smuggling.

It was easy money, as far as he was concerned, and the thrill of space-faring and smuggling goods across the sectors were quite the thrill for him. The captain of the smuggling vessel he worked for would take him underneath his wing, teaching Jor'on everything he knew about the business they were in. Over time he would become quite the marksman, as well as the adept at avoiding Republic and Imperial vessels when his captain allowed him to take to take the helm. Several years would pass within what seemed to be the blink of an eye, and Jo'ron would develop quite the name for himself among certain circles in the underworld. Unfortunately for him, his captain would end up dying in his sleep during a pretty easy run from Coruscant to Nar Shadaa. It was during this time that he'd become employed with the Hutts, who would sponsor him with his own vessel and a crew of his choosing.

He'd spent almost a year and a half doing business with the Hutts, running illegal weapons shipments among other unmarked cargo which he didn't bother to ask what the contents were. As far as he was concerned, it was all childrens toys as long as he got paid in the end. All that would change in an instant during what seemed like another normal run for his Hutt bosses. Jo'ron loaded up his ship with a load of high-powered blaster rifles, fragmentation grenades and some other unmarked cargo on Nar Shadaa, his destination being Coruscant once again. Halfway through the trip, New Republic Vessels ambushed his ship, causing extensive damage to his vessel and injuring several of his crewman. A stealthy landing at the usual unmarked hangar bay looked to be the end of his worries, but all was not as it seemed once they began exiting off the landing platform. It was an ambush, His crew was ambushed as soon as they got off the ship. He managed to escape to the surface but for his crew and ship, he couldn't tell what happened to them. An ambush awaited them when him and the remaining uninjured crew exited the vessel. It appeared that his Hutt bosses wanted him dead, but the reasoning behind this remained unknown. His escape would've not been possible had his first mate not given his life -- although mortally wounded prior to this -- up and set off several thermal detonators that completely annihilated the hangar bay the mercenaries in question.

He called in whatever favors he could with his local connections, and somehow managed to find a way back to Imperial space without the Hutts catching on to him. His return to Lotaith would be met with a surprising welcome, although his father offered no other option for him but to enter the military at that point. With nothing left to lose, Jo'ron would find himself in the Stormtrooper corps, graduating at the top of his class thanks to the skills he learned off world. He only brought with him his trusty DC-15 Blaster Pistol, as well as the two combat knives that were gifts to him from his first-mate. They would all find use shortly after graduation, as his assignment to the Elite Blackjack squad would find him entering the bloody Thyveck campaign alongside some of the best Stormtroopers the VE had to offer. It was a bloody campaign, and the seventeen year old trooper would personally spill much blood in the name of the Empire he know served. The campaign on Thyveck would change him, as he soon grew to enjoy the thrill of combat that had engulfed him during those months on that death-forsaken world. An assignment to Jester squad would be temporary and short, as not long after the entirety of the VE would be shattered after a failed campaign to retake several worlds.

He returned to being a spacer, keeping his head low as a trusty crewman on a smuggling vessel that stayed clear of Hutt space. For two years he'd keep this routine going, at least until a chance encounter with remnants of the VE would once again give him a purpose greater than smuggling illegal cargo across the outer rim. He'd join this vessel as a regular trooper, albeit retaining his former rank of Lance Corporal. It was peaceful, for the most part, and Jo'ron would at the most be pulling guard duty instead of the scarring combat he'd seen in the years prior. All that would change when it was announced that the VE was planning a comeback, which would come only a year after his reactivation into the corps. Jo'ron would be reassigned to another vessel, and to another squad when all the preparation was finished. He once again had purpose, and he was looking forwards to proving himself upon the field of battle once more.


The first person he contacted was his father who he informed of his situation as soon as they began speaking. His father didn't know how to help him besides sending him to Tadath and enlisting him in the military. Having no other options Jo'ron accepted and his father arranged for him a secret flight out of Coruscant. Joining the Imperial Army wasn't all that bad as he learned to enjoy combat and the thrill he'd get out of joining the army would prove to satisfy him like none of his other endeavors. Bringing along his blaster pistol and his combat knife, he awaits what's in store for him during basic training.
