Rin, a force-sensitive child born to uncertain parents in the lower reaches of Coruscant, was inducted into the Jedi Order at the age of 6, despite the usual traditions of only inducting very young children. He grew up to become a quite capable Padawn, an ideal student for the other young Jedi of the Order. Soon after officially becoming a Padawn (at the age of 18, a bit late due to his late induction), he began one-on-one training with Thron-Dor, a powerful Cerean ((Ki-Adi-Mundi)) Jedi Knight who had recently lost their previous Apprentice through an incident during the Clone Wars. The previous apprentice, having just been on the cusp of taking her trials to become a Jedi Knight herself, weighed heavily on Thron-Dor's mind, leaving him depressed and stricken with grief. Initially, the Jedi Knight was cold and distant, but deep inside his kindness, sense of honor, and inherent love broke the veneer of distance, beginning a friendship between Rin and his master. They shared two years together, training Rin to become a strong and capable Apprentice, and one instilled with the values of the Jedi Code. However, their time had to eventually come to a close.

With the call for Order 66, Rin and Thron-Dor were caught in the middle.
Rin was friends with a clone named Spike, who was a fair hand at hacking and liked to keep war trophies from the droids (fingers, which he called "spikes"), that he served with in his two years as an apprentice. When Order 66 was about to be given, Spike was visiting Rin in the Jedi Temple, discussing the future--and suddenly, Rin had a gun to his head. His friend, who he had served side by side with for two years, ready to kill him in an instant. At that moment, Thron-Dor saved him, but the incident scarred him immensely. Unwilling to let Rin be cut down before his prime, Thron-Dor led a squad of Clone Troopers away, allowing Rin to escape into the lower reaches of Coruscant. Laying low and keeping himself hidden, Rin evaded capture for several months before scraping together enough money to hitch a ride on a smuggler's ship to Correllia. He stayed there for a year, before hopping planet yet again, continuing his path away from the long arm of the Empire. He never saw Knight Thron-Dor again, never even heard word of him. He never ran into another fully fledged Jedi, nor even meeting another force-sensitive (or at the very least, none who revealed themselves), leaving him to believe that he was indeed the last Jedi in the galaxy.

Now a man in his 4th decade, Rin has become a different man, under the name Corrinus Assali. Though he has a plethora of skills picked up across his life, they rarely have a chance to shine considering Corrinus' vice for alcohol. His talent for charisma is wasted on attempting to pick up women and to pick fights in bars. So far lost from his previous Jedi ways, he is something of a hollow shell of his former self. Or, so he would have the galaxy believe... in truth, his act is nothing more than a charade to keep the Imperial Inquisitors off his trail. The alcohol hides his highly refined reflexes, the women and the fights keeping obscured how much he truly cares for the galaxy. Every part of his life has been molded to one purpose--ensuring that nobody ever discovers his Jedi secret. In private, he still keeps to the Code as closely as possible, meditating, exercising, and training himself. He could never live with himself if he let down the galaxy, being the only Jedi left and wasting those abilities away. Of course, this desire to continue his Jedi life and his belief in doing good has only served to get him into even more trouble, butting in where he shouldn't be and trying to solve problems that are not his own.

The only things left of his former life are twofold--the Lightsaber that he created during his Padawan trials, a shining blue light that stands firm against the darkness; and the Holocron that Thron-Dor left for him before his sacrifice. Created as a meditation assistance, it soon became the last memory of his former master that Rin would have. Many nights have been spent going over its exercises, its histories, its manuals, its messages--the last messages of a grieving Jedi Knight to his new Apprentice, his new friend.

Now freshly finished with a job hauling freight for the Rebel Alliance, Corrinus lays low to avoid any heat, planning on taking the next flight out of here, running away to a new corner of the galaxy to keep his identity safe. Running away, not just from the Imperials, but from the grief and doubt that he holds for himself.

Rin has constructed a fabricated life for himself, to fill in the long gaps and his vague history. To the people who (think to) know him, he was once an imperial soldier from the Core Worlds, a dutiful servant of the new Galactic Empire. Unable to handle the cruelty of the Galactic army and the great evils committed by it, he deserted. Becoming a smuggler to keep his pockets full enough to keep away from the Imperials, he's been on the run ever since.
In truth, the story is only a half-life. As a Jedi in the Clone Wars, he was a Republic soldier, technically meaning he did fight for the Empire... something that still haunts him to this day. The story, being close to the truth, is easy to tell, and more importantly, covers up the true origins of his life, and the skills he learned along the way.

-------- Season Adjustment --------

Today, Rin has more or less thrown off the cover story. In areas he feels comfortable, he will either say nothing of his past and brush off the question... or he will reveal his Jedi origins. He understands that the galaxy needs someone to stand against the Empire, and he serves no one by hiding. However, in more Imperial controlled areas with tighter surveillance, more loyal citizens, and standing armies, he keeps up his story and keeps his saber close.

Obligation.

13 Points -- Various debauchery-inclined and generally trouble-making acts throughout his life. Ranging from interfering with gangland deals, to leaving behind strings of lovers and trashed bars, all the way to shipping freight for the Rebels, Rin has been around the block.

13 Point -- Despite his sometimes high-profile actions, Rin has a real reason to lay low. Secretly a Jedi still on the run since Order 66, the threat of Imperial Inquisitors are never out of the question where Rin is involved.

A conflict of desire to good in the galaxy, and crippling self-doubt and despair. A belief that he has let the galaxy down and cowardly ran away, conflicted with a desire along the way to help people that he runs across and to continue following a Code that nobody has followed for two decades. He was once optimistic and idealistic, and now his long-lived optimism has simply caught up with him.

Not just that, though, but with the destruction of Alderaan, he fell into a deep depression... only to be brought back by the valiant effort of the Rebel Alliance. His faith in the Galaxy is all at once crushed and revitalized. He sees Dunpo as something of a fresh start, a place where he can start putting himself back on the path of goodness and to finally rise up above his doubts.

Rin's hesitance to act comes from many different anxieties.
One came from the understanding that if the Inquisitors existed, it meant other Jedi existed--a surprise, but a welcome one. However, it also meant that if other Jedi lived, they could fight instead of him, instilling a Bystander psychology in him. Furthermore, as Inquisitor sightings became fewer and farther between, he began to realize that he truly is the last Jedi left--and this makes him afraid and more anxious than ever before, because he is the only one left who could do anything... and he's still too scared to fight. He also blames himself, believing that perhaps if he had stood up before, then he wouldn't be the last one, and the galaxy wouldn't be in this situation.
Another source of his anxiety was rooted in a memory from his Jedi life. He was friends with a clone named Spike, who was a fair hand at hacking and liked to keep war trophies from the droids (fingers, which he called "spikes"), that he served with in his two years as an apprentice. When Order 66 was about to be given, Spike was visiting Rin in the Jedi Temple, discussing the future--and suddenly, Rin had a gun to his head. His friend, who he had served side by side with for two years, ready to kill him in an instant. At that moment, Thron-Dor saved him, but the incident scarred him as he witnessed the beginning of Order 66. It instilled in him a sense of great sadness and betrayal that the Empire could turn a friend he served in war with against him. It also gave him a fear that under the helmet of any stormtrooper he kills might be somebody he knew when he was fighting by their side 20 year ago. It haunts him to this day that the men he fought with were brainwashed and turned against him. And he worries constantly about fighting because... what if his old friends are still out there?

-------- Season Adjustment --------

His adventures with Reload helped Rin to recover the side of him that he thought lost. Speaking with Varliss, facing off against an Inquisitor, meeting the force-sensitive Gladys, and finally, facing a crime lord at Reload's side, all of this helped to inspire Rin to confidently return to his life as a Jedi. His anxieties still remain--he still worries about killing and, at least for the moment, refuses to kill, but he believes that re-attaining the Way of the Jedi is a positive movement on the path towards helping the Galaxy. He has tried to force down his worries instead of constantly indulging them and soaking in them as he had for a couple decades, though they occasionally resurface.

A man just hitting his 40th year, Corrinus had short black hair that he rarely takes the time to style, save for a goatee and beard that keeps his face framed. Laugh lines, scars, and wrinkles mar his face, but it doesn't draw away from what appears to be a soft and friendly person.

He usually wears slim black leather pants, a dark thick (armored) vest over a long white shirt, coupled with a loose brown scarf that he keeps around his neck and trailing down his back. He wears a holster under his vest, keeping his gun strapped to the side of his chest instead of his hip. When traveling, he always keeps his large heavy backpack with him, either nearby or being worn, bulky with the many and only possessions he owns.

In adverse weather, he puts on a brown scarf, cloak, and robe that keeps him safe, covering most of his features.

-------- Season Adjustment --------

Now unafraid of declaring himself a Jedi, Rin has returned to his roots. His black hair has grown out some, hoping to one day re-make the braid that signifies his standing as a Padawan. His goatee and beard remain, and continue to be well kept. Laugh lines, a few scars, and wrinkles belie his age, though the once hidden melancholy behind his eyes have changed to contentment and happiness.

Shifting away from the smuggler outfit that he used in the past, he has now embraced his nature and is clad in the brown robes of his younger years, though he keeps the vest underneath for its protective influence. Where he goes, he keeps his Lightsaber behind the folds of his robes--no longer hidden within a backpack--but always within quick reach. His backpack is now gone, no longer necessary for keeping the remnants of his past hidden, and is replaced instead with a utility belt keeping his outfit, and his items, together.
