{{PAGENAME}} was a Owen Koga was a Human Male Force Sensitive living during the time of the fall of the Galactic Alliance and the Time of the Pax Anaxes of the New Sith Imperium. He was once a Jedi Knight, but before the Sacking of Crouscant left the Order. For the last 10 years, He spent from being in Exile on Hoth to being a bounty hunter. Over the course of time, He has gone from being a Jedi Exile, to becoming something else all together...

Strange Beginnings
Owen's Origin's are strange to those who were not there when it happened. All that is known is that he was conceived by two Force Sensitives on Naboo. Who they were and where the Father was remains a mystery. All that is known is that the mother came stumbling into the Jedi Temple, gave birth to young Koga in front of Jedi knights who became impromptu midwives. Alas, the Young Koga's mother died from complications after his birth. She would be taken to the crypts and buried in an unmarked grave, her child would never know of her. As for the young Child, He was given the name Owen Koga by the Jedi and, sensing the young child's Force Sensitivity, took him in and raised him in the ways of the Force.

Early Life
Owen's Raising for the first nine years within the Walls of the Jedi Temple was typical for a Jedi youngling. He was trained in the basics of Force and the Sword. Though, in Owen's case, he was known for his uncanny capacity for Compassion for all he met. It wouldn't till be the close of his ninth year that he would be placed under the care of a Jedi Master.

Tutelage Across the Stars
Over the Course of Six years, Owen was trained in the Art of the Force by His master. His master, a kind and wise Jedi, trained him in the art of Shien/Djem So, which the latter Owen be came almost a master of. His Master would take Owen across the stars, encountering everyone from Star Pirates threatening the Alliance to Agents of the Darkside. All the while, his skill with the Lightsaber and the Force Grew. His most proficient Force Power was Force Stealth, which he used to great extent to outrun the occasional Sith agent or even his Master when he wanted to be alone. While on one of his little hiding spells, he would meet a young woman that would change his life forever.

Encountering Inaba
While on a Mission to the Imperium, Owen encountered a young Sith Woman named Inaba. Though she was a Sith, she possessed and extraordinary idealistic mind. Most importantly, She possessed a dream that one day, when the time was right, the Jedi and the Sith would reunite under one house for the betterment of the Galaxy as a whole. It was this attitude that changed Owen's outlook on the Sith, and outright challenged what the Jedi spoke about their bitter enemy. At first when encountering the Sith woman, he became infatuated with her even though he was 14 and she was 17, however as time went on the infatuation grew into a brother/sister relationship in which Owen tried to protect her from danger. Sadly, it was his attempt to save her that led to boths downfall.

Loosing Inaba
While on a mission to Onderon, an event altered Owen for the rest of his life. He was going through the final touches of his trials to become a fully fledged knight. He, along with a fellow padawan, were sent to deal with a band of pirates that had set up shop in the wilds of the planet. Unfortunately, the Pirates were being backed by the Sith, seeing Inaba was sent there as an advisor. After discovering the location of the Pirate group, the other Jedi Padawan, seeking glory to his name, charged headlong and attacked the Pirate group. Owen, forcing himself to help his comrade, assisted in defeating the Pirates. After seeing to his horror of Inaba there, he finally begged her to abandon the Sith and Join the Jedi. After some hesitation, Inaba began to agree with Owen. All the while, she had removed her lightsaber and placed it on the ground, showing that she was unarmed. It was at that moment that the other Padawan, desiring to have slaying a Sith added to his name, coldheartedly struk her down by impaling her through the back. Owen was horrified by the act, but before the Sith woman gasped her last breath, she promised Owen there would always be tomorrow. After giving him Her Lightsaber, she died. The event would scar the young Owen for the rest of his life.

Confronting the Order
After Returning to Coruscant, Owen formally pressed Charges against the Padawan for conduct unbecoming of a Jedi (Killing an unarmed Person in Cold blood). However to his Shock, The Jedi Council ignored his accusations and outright buried his case. It was during the times when the Sith were reemerging and had taken control of the Imperium. Owen, furious that they would consider it nothing more than a casualty of War and a possible threat of the Darkside infiltrating finally the Jedi, came to one conclusion: The Order was Compromised.

Abandoning the Order
Convinced that the Order he long desired to be apart of long gone, decided to abandon the Jedi altogether. Though his master pleaded with him to stay, Owen would have no part of it, and severed his ties to the Order. He would leave Coruscant, and his life as a Jedi, behind him but not before severing his padawan braid and stealing his master's cloak. He would then board a ship, and leave the System and his past behind. Luckily for him, He had left just in time before the Siege of Coruscant and the Jedi's turning into fugitives.

Exile on Hoth
Owen would later be dropped off on Hoth. Here, he would endure the harsh, unending Winter of the brutal planet, along with the beasts that use both the Light and Dark Sides of the force to hunt. Owen, having spent most of his training on perfecting Force Stealth, used it to full effect, surviving on that hell hole for no less than 3 years.

Rescue and Training on Alba
At the close of his 3rd year, Owen was rescued by the Shistavanen Artyom Jeager while he was on a Trading Mission. The Shistavanen, seeing the survivor in Owen, took him from Hoth to Alba to live with his family. Alba would become Owen's adopted home for the next 2 years, being trained by Artyom in Firearms and starship work. When Owen does leave, he had all the skills needed to start life as a bounty hunter/merc.

Early Life as a Bounty Hunter
Owen's work as a Bounty Hunter Started off...Not so good. He had taken several jobs and they ended in nothing but disaster, but after trial and error plus learning a few tricks from several others, one including an individual named Reginald Marx, He had become an experienced Mercenary and bounty hunter.

Finding XO and the Fury
It was on a Job in Subterell that he found a little, ancient Astrodroid named R2-XO. The Droid himself was on board an abandoned YT-1930 Named the Fury. After collecting the bounty on the man he was hunting in the area, he used it to rebuild both the droid and the Ship, claiming them for his own.

Business as usual
For the last 4 years, Owen and XO continued to have many of adventures across the Galaxy, hunting one bounty after another. That is on the planet Thyfera, Owen was doing a job with Reginald Marx that resulted in Owen receiving a broken leg, which set him off the job for 6 months.

Back in the Saddle
After recovering from the broken leg, he set out on a job in Christophsis for a lunatic who had stolen a considerable amount of money from the bankers there. It would be on the neighboring system of Lok that he would find him and gain friendship with the Alitor of the Mandalorian Clan Fett, who helped in the capture of the maniac. After Collecting the bounty, Owen found himself unofficially part of the clan Fett.

Identiy Hunt
While hunting for parts to upgrade his Fury, he encountered a Sith Acolyte. The Sith Kaleesh, privy to Owen's past, accosted him, which costed him his life. Owen, curious as to who knew who and where he was, set out to hunt for the person responsible for this. While outrunning Bounty Hunters and the like, He encountered Camillia Swift, an up and coming Admiral of the Rendili Raiders. Val Tarro, a Smuggler and witty warrior, Pruddi Karamud, another Mandalorian who had a chip on his shoulder about Jedi, and Dez Kai, another bounty hunter who reminded him about his early days as a bounty hunter. The one person that Owen had met in his travels that stood out was a young Sith Woman named Liliana Celenthor, who reminded him of Inaba. However, in Owen's case, she stood out the most due to her outwardly kind nature. Each person he encounters has helped him get one step into figuring out who is behind the hunt for him.

So Far, all he knows is that someone from Owen's Past wants Owen. Want him enough to drop a dime on him to a Sith acolyte to test his strength, then sending various bounty hunters via private contracting to avoid further imperial interference. What they want him for, why they want him, and who he is name wise is still a mystery to Owen. So far a friend of his has managed to point him in the direction of a specialist that cleaned up the holorecording image, getting a better description, but the voice and the face are still an enigma to Owen. Now he is working for a businessman who may hold the key to this mans name. and the Worth of the name? The life of a child...

After Successfully saving the young girl's life, Owen has succeeded in getting the name of the man who had been hunting him: Gregori Nost, a Jedi archivist back on Coruscant. But before he could act on this information, he received a distress call from Liliana Celenthor. What struck him as odd, was that instead of going on getting the man who had been hunting him, he dropped what he was doing and went to rescue her. On Russan, He found it was an impromptu trap set by the very man who was hunting him. After rescuing Lily, and a small fight with the thugs there, He finally confronted his hunter. Gregori revealed what this whole mess was about. Apparently, He believed Owen had taken a holocron from the temple that he himself stole. After realizing that Owen didn't have it, in a rage the two engaged in a vicious lightsaber duel. Their duel raged on on top of the Building they fought in, climaxing when Liliana came to Owen's aid and striking down the chiss traitor. After letting things cool down, The two had a talk about themselves and interesting to one another, began to open up, seeing things in common with one another, a thing Owen hadn't done in 10 years, not even his foster father Artyom on Alba. As a gift, Owen gave her the fallen Jedi's lightsaber.

Ghosts from the Past
While looking for work on Naboo, Owen would once again encounter the likes of Lilian Celenthor. During their encounter, Several acts of affection would result in Owen's spark of interest in the young woman. It was also here, that Owen took part in a small battle between Jedi and Sith. It was here that Owen engaged and Won a duel with a Sith Acolyte named Ari Iv-Hadsuska. After violently informing several Jedi to leave Naboo, Owen made his way off world.

A Heart reopened
Eriadu was where Owen wanted to be to take a break from the hectic time he had endured ranging from the incident on naboo, to the training he had undergone in the last two months. He wanted to get some R&R before meeting Reggie on Christophsis for some sort of Job. It was there that he met once again Liliana Celenthor, the Sith Acolyte that he had encountered many times before. Owen, having finally seen her as a friend, decided to take her out to dinner. To both of their surprise, they discover that Her father, a Rogue Jedi, and Owen's Master were one and the same. After showing her His Master's cloak, which he kept all these years, led to Liliana breaking down and Owen attempting to comfort her. It was during these moments that Owen began to realize he was developing feelings for the young Sith Woman. After what seemed like an eternity of trying to comfort one another, the two parted ways, both heavy hearted...

Personality and traits
Professionally, he appears as a quiet individual who prefers to listen then to talk. When he does talk, it’s only to ask questions about his target, his mission, and/or when he has to. Privately though he has a sense of humor, but only if you personally know him. When in private he’s a pretty laid back individual with a friendly and cheery personality. He’s the kind of guy you’d like to hang out with, buy a drink with, or even see crack a joke even in the most hellacious situation. His most unique “gift”, if you can call it that, is this uncanny ability to perform a chameleon like change from a shy individual to someone who has the confidence to be around and talk to complete strangers. For a guy who has not been around people for 5 years its one trait that still has many scratching their heads about him.

Another side to him is his somberness. To those who know him, he can be at times a very quiet man. He is known to go deep into thought, if not into a depressing state that makes his small circle of friends worry for him. Some say that his cherry side is a mask to hide some sort of pain that he has welled up inside him. To his clients, rivals, enemies, etc. he is calm and cool, but when provoked you can get him to show signs of anger. In a nutshell, he’s a standup guy and a reliable warrior for hire, but when pushed in the wrong way he can be a cold-blood killer.
