Dax Reteven

Biography: Born to a family of poor farmers, Dax found himself to be different in comparison to his brothers and sisters. It was not just his lack of a voice that set him apart but he was able to go faster, jump higher and push things away from him without having to place his hands upon the object in question. Daxs abilities were noticed by the other farmer families and were soon the source of much speculation and suspicion. Fearing that their son would harm himself and the family with his displays, Daxs parents cautioned the young man to be more prudent and hide his abilities whenever possible.

However this was easier said than done for his connection to the force was strong and though he tired, Dax could not control the now random outbursts of his abilities, which were gaining strength as the days passed. The situation became much worse for Dax as a drunk stumbled across his families farm and started killing the livestock with a blaster and destroying precious tools they needed. His father tried stop the man but was shot in the shoulder by a stray bolt. Angered Dax used his force abilities to send the drunk flying through the barn, killing him. Panicking Dax fled from the scene and into the wilderness, where he managed to find shelter in a burned down house.

At this time a Jedi by the name of Shas O Kell was on the planet hunting down a possible lead on supposed Sith activity. During his investigation Shas heard the cries of Dax through the force and eventually found Dax in his refuge, near starved and extremely weak.

Taking Dax to his ship, Shas found that the supposed lead did not exist and that his mission was little more than a wild goose chase. Sensing that Dax was strong with the force Shas decided to take Dax to the Jedi temple. It was there that Shas taught Dax how to control his force abilities and how to act like a Jedi, the most notable of these abilities is the Telepathy that Dax uses to compensate for his lack of a voice. However the good times were not to last as the Slaughter of Geonosis claimed Shas O kell and Daxs only parental figure. With the loss of his master and the risk of war on the horizon, Dax must stand on his own and honor the memory of his master, survive the war and resist the dark side with all that he can.
