BACKGROUND:
Backstory/Description:
Jaath Rhendal was raised in relative comfort and privilege by his father, an engineering administrator at the Imperial shipyards near ….(TBD). Though his mother died when he was quite young, Jaath and his brother faired rather well, and unlike many, didn’t really experience the downside to the changeover to the New Order. Jaath learned a good deal about ships and piloting there, and actually intended to join the Imperial Navy at some point.
That all changed when Jaath met Telzha, an inspiring young woman from Twi’lek who was protesting against the Empire. (It’s always about a girl, right?) He was smitten and after a month or so was introduced to several of her comrades who were in actuality resistance fighters with plans to work some sabotage at the shipyards. Telzha opened the young Rhendal’s eyes to the evil and cruelty of the Empire. She made and emotional appeal for Jaath to use his influence with his father to gain access to some of the security codes at the base, and surprising even himself, Jaath was considering it.
However, unbeknownst to any of them, word had reached Jodd Rhendal through Imperial security forces about rumors of Jaath’s involvement with “unsavory” types. Jaath’s father had made plans to have the resistance members arrested, hoping to keep his son and more importantly, the family name, out of suspicion of disloyalty to the Empire.
Telzha and about half of her followers escaped, leaving Jaath behind with harsh words, thinking that he had betrayed them.
Returning home, Jaath argued with his father who was freely admitting his actions, claiming that he had save his son from being incarcerated, and tha it was all for his own good. A week later, Jaath gathered what resources he personally owned and booked passage away from the shipyards…and he has never looked back.
Three people your character knows:
1.Telzha Rith - Twi'lek girl who opened his eyes to the evils of the Empire and his father’s place in all that. Taught him much of what he knows about being a Scoundrel. The two were growing romantically close when she abandoned Jaath, Jaath later learned that hi father reported her to the Imperials to get her away from his son.. Current status unknown.
2. Vhoe Bokk - Cerean gambler that Jaath currently owes a favor in lieu of paying 10,000 credits instead. They’d both been swindled by a Rodian in a game of Sabacc, so Vhoe gave Jaath a “deal” to eventually work off his debt instead…somehow.
3. Shaan Rhendal - Jaath’s privileged younger brother currently living with family, torn between loyalty to Jaath and to their parents.
4. Jodd Rhendal - Jaath’s father, (married to step-mother Maeyris) Shipyard Administrator in good standing with the Empire (Location and site TBD by GM)
Short-term goals you want your character to accomplish, such as buying an item, learning a Force Power, or something like that.
To find Telzha.
To get out from under the debt he owes Vhoe Bokk. (Possibly Long-term goal as well)
To learn to “speak” or at least understand Astromech droids.
Long-term goals you want your character to accomplish, such as buying a ship, getting an entourage/gang/squad, get rich, etc.
To earn enough to buy his own ship.
Convince his brother of the evils of the Empire, and free him from his father’s influence.
To redeem his family name outside of the Empire, and make amends for all the harm that the ships his father has built have done.
Non-tangible motivations, such as defend the weak, never tell a lie, and things like that.

Turning attention to the backstory: The Twi'lek homeworld is Ryloth, to help fill that in. I have several additional questions for expansion:
Why was Jaath at the protest to meet Telzha?
Jaath had been delivering a datapad of encrypted information to his father that had been forgotten at home that morning. Nothing classified or highly important, but something that his father had required. When Jaath was leaving the facility, he saw the protesters and like many curious young adults, he stopped to see what all the ruckus was about. He saw Telzha get shoved by some guards, and he stepped in to help her up, and was smitten. Her ego was more bruised than she was, and when more guardsmen showed up, they left together…and parted soon after.
How much time elapsed between meeting Telzha and meeting the resistance members?
They knew each other for a couple of weeks before she trusted him enough to introduce him, which coincided with her learning about his father’s position at the Shipyards. Coincidence? Maybe. Maybe not.
Did he and Telzha actually have a relationship, or was it purely one-sided?
There was definite flirting going on, though nothing was ever consummated. She might have real interest, but her ‘cause’ is more important to her than anything.
When his father arranged to have the resistance members arrested, did he have any actual charges to lay against them, or were the charges completely fabricated?
Actual charges against at least a couple of her group, but enough innuendo of espionage to try and round them all up.
Was he there when the security forces moved in to make the arrests, or did he find out about them later?
Raanth was with the resistance members, and technically taken into custody as well. However, no charges were filed, and he was released soon afterward…which is part of why Telzha accused him of being an undercover informant against them.
(Seriously, do whatever you want with all this. I’m open to any modifications you want to make. I just thought the idea was cool, overall. It’s all fair game.)
How did he meet Vhoe Bock?
Vhoe is a gambler who ran games in a nightclubs he owned. It was a nighttime spot where the adult-children of the Loyalist officers would hang out. Feel free to use him however you’d like.
