Star Wars: The Bigger Picture

@LordVoldemortI was just wondering how we would start. If it's open world, I think I'll start out on a Mining Guild space station in the outer rim. Maybe someone will hire me to smuggle guns to the new Rebel base on Dantooine (I do have a freighter and a "no questions asked" policy) and I'll do a smuggling run.

@AnnaBethwell, its possible. Quigon only had a vague feeling that there was something off about Anakin until Ani told him he had Jedi reflexes. And Quigon was a Jedi master, not a newly knighted Jedi.

Just in case you need a reason that he wasn't instantly detected.

Star Wars: The Bigger Picture

Name: Kale Durron
Occupation: Mechanic/parts dealer
Equipment: Normally travels with a tool kit, DC-17 blaster pistol, and vibro knife. If he thinks he's going into combat he may wear armor or carry a vibrosword. He also owns a freighter in case he needs to make a quick get away. He also has some basic force training, though anything beyond basic telekinesis is beyond him.
Bio: Born on Dantooine, the doctor came to his parents an hour after he was born and told them that he was special, and that the midichlorian count showed that he could become a Jedi. "He's not like your other sons, he's special," the doctor said. Knowing that the Jedi could legally take him by force if they wanted to, his father handed the doctor several hundred credits and said "I think he's just like our other sons." The doctor understood what he meant and an hour later sent duplicates of one of his older brother's test results in as his.
He grew up a relatively normal life, though he seemed to have a knack for fixing things and finding the parts he needed to fix them. When he became a teenager, though, the clone wars began and a newly-knighted Jedi came to his world, recruiting for the Republic and setting up a defense force to protect against any Separatist invasion. While he was too young to join the Dantooine Defense Force like his two older brothers, he was able to become an assistant to the Jedi. He used this connection to answer questions he had about the Jedi and the Force, asking the Jedi about it. He was glad to answer Kale's questions until one day he came into his office and saw a 15 year old Kale levitating a cred chip. Knowing that Kale was too old to be properly trained, he went into damage control mode, instead teaching Kale about the Light Side and how to avoid falling to the Dark Side.
After Order 66, when the Jedi was killed by his own Clones in front of Kale, Kale knew that he had to keep his abilities a secret from the new Empire. A few years later he had raised the money to buy a freighter and left home to live on fringe worlds where the Empire was less likely to be. While he learned of the rebellion and considered joining, it would make him too much of a target, so he continued to fix droids, speeders, and ships for whoever had the credits to pay him, no questions asked.

@Burning KittyMy character is about 34 YO, so Vader aged (about 45) isn't that old.

@LordVoldemort My guy may or may not learn more, but he could teach yours if you want.

@LordVoldemortI made a Force Sensitive archeologist is a Starwars RP once. (Future where Luke never fully reestablished the Jedi Order, so there was only one.) I said he had dug up a Sith Holocron and it was teaching him.

@AnnaBethHe would have been the youngest child, and possibly the only one that was Force Sensitive.

He could be from a world outside the Republic, where the Jedi wouldn't have tested everyone at birth. The world would have allied with the Republic because the Seps tried to conquer it.
Or maybe he wasn't quite up to the Jedi standards so they didn't bother "recruiting" him as a baby. Or he was born outside the Republic, but his family moved to a Republic world after he was born, so the initial testing wasn't done.

We do know it's possible for people to slip through the net, as Palpatine wasn't detected despite being born on Naboo.

Edit: Let's just say he was from a low population planet (a few million) and that when the doctor told the parents what the at-birth midiclorian count test meant, they bribed him to falsify the results by sending a duplicate of his older brother's much lower count to the government.

I have a Star Wars character I want to adapt to this.

The idea is that he was 15 by the end of the clone wars so he wasn't able to sign up like his brothers, but helped out as an assistant to the Jedi that was sent to help recruit troops and defend the world after the Separatists attack. He was obsessed with the Jedi and asked the Jedi many questions about the order, the Force, etc. When the Jedi found out that he was actually Force Sensitive (he was able to slide a cred chip across the table thanks to the answers he got about the Force), the guy refused to teach him, but instead went into damage control, teaching him about the Light side and warning him about the Dark.

My guy would be kind of like a Gray Paladin, using the Force to enhance his reflexes and skills, especially in a fight, but not really using Force powers, having never learned anything besides simple telekinesis.

He'd probably be a mechanic or merchant.
