I was just a tool to the Sith. They didn't care about me or what I wanted, all they saw was my power. I became... frustrated. I raged against everything: the galaxy, the Sith, the Jedi, myself. But then I met a Jedi... or, rather, it's better to say that I was saved by a Jedi. And I thought, perhaps, that the Jedi would be a better path.
—Vinca Braji
Vinca Braji was a Force-sensitive male Zeltron. Born on the Smugglers' Moon, Nar Shaddaa, Vinca was recruited into Lumiya's Sith at a young age and trained as a Sith. A weapon aimed at the New Jedi Order, he eventually became frustrated with the Sith. After meeting the Jedi Master Marrik Quee, Vinca left the Sith behind and joined the New Jedi Order. He trained and learned under Quee and became a fully fledged Jedi.
A controversial member even in the New Jedi Order, Vinca eventually chaffed under the perceived restrictions of the Jedi, and eventually left the order on his own volition. He parted on good terms and started a journey of self-discovery, in which he traveled across the galaxy studying and learning from various Force sects in order to discover himself.

Sith no longer[]
You... you saved me. Why? I'm your enemy."
"Enemy? I have no enemies. If you're asking why I didn't strike you down or take you prisoner, well, that answer is simple, too. I see a young man before me, lost and angry and confused, taken advantage of by people who ought to know better. Rise. I can help you, if you allow me."
"No one can help me. Not anymore. I'm Sith! I've hurt people... done horrible things. I deserve to die. Kill me... please."
"No one deserves execution, no matter what their crimes. This is not the path you're meant to walk, young one. It is never too late to change.

Personality and traits[]
Physical description[]
Being a Zeltron, Vinca greatly resembled a baseline human, with a few notable differences. His skin was a rich red-pink in color and he had blue hair worn in a coif. His eyes were originally blue as well but changed to a golden color due to dark side corruption during his time as a Sith: his eyes turned to a faded gold-yellow after he renounced the dark side and joined the Jedi Order. Vinca had prominent eyelashes.
During his time as a member of Lumiya's Sith, he wore a simple hooded black robe made out of zeyd-cloth, as well as a pair of Sith gloves on his hands. After leaving the Sith behind, he took to wearing more traditional Jedi robes, with a dark blue cloak. Vinca wielded a standard single-bladed lightsaber; as a member of Lumiya's Sith, the blade was red, but changed it for a bronze colored blade when he joiend the New Jedi Order.
