1. From a young age, Grayynost always had something of a knack for knowing when danger was nearby. Back in more peaceful times, it helped out in avoiding the native predators, but this sense really came in handy when the Imperial occupation arrived. The elders told Grayynost that this sixth sense was him being connected to the Force.
2. During the Imperial occupation of Kashyyyk, Grayynost and his band of guerillas came upon a village massacred by stormtroopers. The rage and hatred he felt toward them, and what he and his band did to the stormtroopers when they tracked them down still haunts Grayynost.
3. Once Kashyyyk was liberated, Grayynost wanted to learn more about his connection to the Force, so he left Kashyyyk and sought out the fledgling New Jedi Order.
4. Uthrroua, the leader of Grayynosts band of guerillas during the Imperial occupation and somewhat of a father figure to Grayynost.
5. In his younger days, some trandoshan hunters came to Grayynosts neck of the woods, seeking new wookiee trophies. They were tracking a group of wookiees out foraging, but Grayynost managed to draw the trandoshans attention, and bought the foragers time to get away. Grayynost himself managed avoid getting caught until help arrived thanks to his sixth sense.

Grayynost was born in the deep forests of Kashyyyk many decades before the rise of the Empire. His youth was spent as that of most other wookiees, climbing around the wroshyr trees, hunting and tinkering. Something that set Grayynost appart from his peers was the sixth sense he had. He could always tell when others were nearby, something that really helped with the many dangers of Kashyyyk, and even more so against those foreign to his homeworld, as he learned during a run-in with a band of trandoshan hunters. This sense of his also allowed Grayynost to tell what those he was talking to really felt. His life carried on as normal until the Empire arrived.
The Imperials devastated Kashyyyk and the wookiees, but you could say that Grayynost was among the lucky ones. When the stormtroopers came to his village, his father and a few other of the elders held the imperials at bay while Grayynost and most of the others escaped deeper into the woods.
It was here that Grayynost joined a band of guerillas under the leadership of Uthrroua. Grayynost quickly became popular in this band, not due to him maintaing their weapons, but due to his sixth sense. Grayynosts ability to detect ambushes and help with setting their own earned him the nickname "Lucky".
The darkest event for Grayynost during the Imperial occupation occured when the guerillas came across a massacred village. Not a single wookiee had been left alive. Fueled by anger and rage, the band swore to track down the imperials responsible, and make them pay. Tracking imperials had never been all that hard, and when Grayynosts group finally caught up with the stormtroopers, the wookiees took their sweet time carrying out their revenge of the imperials. What they did that day, and the utter fear and terror Grayynost could sense in the imperials, still haunts him to this day.
Once Kashyyyk was liberated and the Galactic Civil War was winding down, Grayynost felt an urge to find out more about this connection to the Force he had, and so he said his goodbyes and left Kashyyyk. It did not take him long to hear about the praxeum on Yavin IV, so he made his way there.

Compassion & Hatred: 60

Compassion: The character cares about the tribulations others face, and wants to help those he comes across. His compassion may lead to self-sacrifice in order to aid those who need it.

Hatred: The galaxy can be a cruel and heartless place, and compassion can quickly turn to hatred of the individuals or situations that cause others to suffer. When a character’s mind roils with simmering hatred, that hatred may be all too slow to fade.
