Some folk just aren't meant to be parents. Sepu and his wife Kazi were happily married when they moved to Corellia to join the shipyards as laborers. The birth of the Galactic Empire made it tough for everyone, but some folk saw the breaking of the Republic and never fully recovered. Some remained broken and never healed. But the newly married couple were determined to carve a life out for themselves and try to make a bit of joy for themselves and their five year old son, Sundervere.
The boy would never see who his parents used to be, but only what the growing weight of the Empire, and the hardships of Corellia had turned his parents into. His father Sepu was an alcoholic, and his mother Kazi became a spice addict. They were like that for as long as he knew them, up until their deaths. They fell for a myriad of reasons, but most likely... to escape the hellish existence of what their lives had fallen into being. They weren't happy, they didn't love one another, and they both had wished they never had their son.
Sundervere was raised by many different folk on Corellia other than his birth parents, and he was better off for it. He learned how to live, earn credits, and socialize with all walks of life. He was the local street rat that had learned from the mistakes of those around him. Con men, prostitutes, thieves, smugglers, laborers, slicers, thugs. These were his extended family, and he took to the life incredibly fast and well. He was a gifted individual with a wealth of practical education at his fingertips. Sundervere was a common sight in the streets, and his optimistic outlook and friendly nature. He grew up with all the knowledge his parents never wanted him to have, but with the hope that they had lost many years prior.
Life continued as an endless series of hijinks, escapades, and adventures as Sundervere grew into the man he would one day become. Along the way, however, fate intervened, and he was captured by the Mong Teeth slaver gang as he was trying to free some of their captives. He was tortured and his face permanently scarred by the experience. Unfortunately for the gang, one of the other captives they acquired was a Dark Jedi, on the run from Imperial hunters.
The Jedi was a twi'lek woman by the name of Asah'vuji, and after some recovery, she broke free of the bonds and slew the slaver gang without a lightsaber. She saved Sundervere and the two fled into the tunnels and hiding spots that only Sundervere knew about. And in the darkness, the two found passion, lust, and more. Sundervere became enthralled with her, as she was a mystery and devastingly beautiful. She taught him how to use the Force by harnessing his darker emotions, that it was only through passion that true power was found. The 'paradise' could only last so long, and after about a month, the twi'lek sensed that Imperial forces were close to locating her and without saying a word... she vanished into the night, leaving Sundervere alone and without direction.
His life had forever changed, and after some alcoholic benders, he finally righted himself and tried to resume his life as best he could. He became a trusted man that many in the community dealt with and went to to help solve their problems. That is, until the Mong Teeth returned to gain their revenge on one person they could find, Sundervere. In the chaos of the chase, Sundervere snuck on board a freighter heading offworld, and hasn't been back since... now he has to find a way to survive in the galaxy and avoid those Imperials who were hunting Asah'vuji.
