Quinlan Vos

Quinlan has never really felt comfortable with the Jedi Code of his era but when doing research into the Force, came across an archaic form that suits him much more. That code follows:

Quinlan Vos is not your typical Jedi. He projects no sense of inner peace. He is rash, impulsive and abrasive. His humor is sarcastic and he shows no restraint in his emotions. He has danced the edge of the Dark Side enough to worry Masters Yoda and Mace Windu, and questioned whether the Jedi Council and the Republic weren't corrupt as the Separatists claimed. He often spoke out about decisions made by the Council and the lack of any real effect the Jedis had to the Galaxy at large. And yet he still believes in the ideals of the Jedi. He just hates the politics they were forced to play. Despite his seeming anti-Jedi persona, he is closely attuned to the Force and does have a strong sense of inner peace. In fact, he is now an instrument of the Force and often will act as its tool though he doesn't understand the purpose of his actions.

Vos has had a complicated life. He was traded to the Jedi temple at an early age despite being a high ranking member of his races elite and trained with Obi-Wan Kenobi when they both were padawans. As a Jedi Knight, he and his Padawan, Aayla Secura, lost their memories when forcibly overdosed on the very drug whose distribution they had been investigating.

Rebuilding his life and some of his memories, he eventually built a spy network within the Separatists during the early years of the Clone Wars, even going so far as to get into the inner circle of Count Dooku. Unfortunately, he became corrupted by the Dark Side and would have stayed in Dooku's service had it not been for his Padawan, now a Jedi Master, whom pulled him back into the Light.

In the later years of the Clone Wars, Vos, like many of the Jedi, acted as a general and lead the clone troopers in many battles, though he was never comfortable with the role or with clones. When Order 66 (the deeply embedded order within all clone troopers to kill any Jedi nearby) was initiated, Quinlan Vos was able to fake his own death with the aid of friends and went into hiding with his wife, Kahleen Hentz (whom he had met years earlier while building his spy network) and their son.

[The following is fully my canon] Since then, he has become a smuggler like his wife. He hides his Jedi nature though he still tries to live by the lessons he has learned. On occasion, he ensures Obi-Wan, and any other Jedi he becomes aware of, stay safe and hidden, drawing the Empire's attention whenever they get to close. He also is attuned enough to the Force now that he follows its guidance and does things which seem pointless, such as saving a certain young smuggle by the name of Han Solo (Star Wars Tales 08).

Quinlan Vos is a pup who likely can get along with just about anyone. He is good for combat OOMs, sneaky plot OOMs, heist OOMs or just fun parties. He is also a nostalgia pup for me which is part of why I want to play him. The other reason is that I want a pup who has a gray morality or at least isn't held back by such silly things as laws.
