Background
Rylin was born to a upper middle class family on the imperial world of Kyrith. Her scores in school and her desire to serve placed her on the track to working for the imperial government and at 18 she applied for entrance to the imperial academy. As she worked her way through the academy process she caught the eye of a imperial inquisitor and was placed into training for imperial intelligence. During her training the inquisitors began her training in the force. They found she had a talent for feeling the connections between people and other objects and began honing her skill in order to track Jedi.
While researching records she found evidence of the brutal "peacekeeping" tactics of the empire and as a result chose to flee the academy taking with her several files of imperial Intel to barter to the resistance. Afterwards she was assigned to a resistance sabetuer squad as their support coordinator.
During her time with the rebels she fight in many battles, lost many friends but never lost faith in the struggle for freedom. She has also never quite shaken the fear that the inquisition was looking for her as well.
With their defeat at the battle of endar the empire is on the retreat and Rylin had answered the call to continue her training in the ways of the force. She had a deep desire to serve for the better good and is excited about learning more about the Jedi
Motivation
To restore the jedi as protectors and guardians of the galaxy. When they were destroyed was when the empire flourished and darkness overshadowed the galaxy. Legends talk of the compassion and righteousness of the Jedi and that is what is needed in the Galaxy now.
in order for the Galaxy to heal after the rebellion there must be those willing to help build up the Galaxy instead of plunging it into war.
She believes that the ideals of the past order are worth of restoring and towards striving towards but does not believe all of them to be obtainable, at least not for her.
