Early Life in the Jedi Order
Raxean Omohna, born 33 BBY, never truly knew his family; he was found by the Jedi as a very young child and taken to train at the Jedi Temple on Coruscant.

As a youngling, Raxean exhibited an eagerness to learn about the Force, particularly its connection to all things. He showed potential in his ability to use the Force, but he was not particularly gifted by any means. On the contrary, he was a rather poor student himself; he was slower to learn than most, he asked far too many questions, to the point of even testing some of the most patient jedi mentors, and he never fully understood the adherence to the Jedi Code as the only way, to which he would point to the millions of other residents in the galaxy, how they too must have lived according to the Will of the Force. That is not to say he himself did not live by it, only that he respected and eagerly learned about other views of the Force as well.

Needless to say, by the time of his trials in 20 BBY, he was not ready. He was a fair swordsman, practicing Forms II (Makashi) and III (Soresu), which focus on minimal exertion of energy and precise movements, but because he questioned the Jedi Code in relation to other philosophies of the Force, he was not accepted as a padawan. Instead, he was offered the choice: leave the Jedi Order in peace and sharing what knowledge he had with the galaxy, or remain within the Jedi Order under the Jedi Service Corps. He chose the later, and was assigned to the Educational Corps. Although he was a poor student in terms of learning what others said was important, he did have a knack for learning what he wanted, knew how to find the information he needed, and was particularly skilled in connecting to others, all skills that would serve him well in his training to become a scholar and mentor.

Order 66 and its Aftermath
Raxean showed great promise for his year-or-so in the Educational Corps. He was particularly skilled at explaining the Force to others, and delighted in such conversation. However, while on a mission to meet an order of monks, the Guardians of the Whills, on the desert moon of Jedha, Order 66 was executed. Raxean was able to escape the fate his mentors and counterparts faced, but he never forgot not being able to save them. After many years of reflection and meditation, he came to accept their deaths as the will of the Force, and that he too must be prepared to make such a sacrifice should the need arise; this idea coming to him, in no small part, from the Guardians of the Whills, who after hearing his plight, offered him protection and eventual membership to their order. Some time later, he also became a caretaker at a nearby orphanage that was friendly to the Guardians.

Raxean proved to be a particularly pious and dedicated Guardian, and was grateful to them not only for saving his life from the Great Jedi Purge, but for helping to further open his eyes to knowledge of the Force and allowing him to go on some missions to seek out long lost jedi knowledge to further his own training, that is, when the orphanage wasn't in immediate need of his services. It was on just such a mission that saved his life. Not long before the Battle of Yavin, the entirety of Jedha City, and the surrounding territory, was destroyed. Again, his life was uprooted by the Empire, and he was alone in the vast galaxy, trusting in the Force guide him to where he is needed.

The Force first led him to the cantina at Keren on Naboo, where he intervened in an assassination attempt on a few patrons. The woman who was targeted offered Raxean accommodations for his assistance, in the luxury suite aboard her boss' casino yacht starship, the Black Sunshine... Raxean, rather intrigued by the turn of events, awaits what is to become of him, but he's certain this wasn't just a chance meeting, for better or worse.

After a bit of respite aboard the Black Sunsine, the captain of the vessel, Bixso Trosco, requested Raxean join him and his companion, Dakylco. Raxean, of course, obliged this request, and after some general conversation, revealed his background as a Guardian of the Whills, but not many further details beyond that. Bixso seemed rather impressed, and honored, to have a monk aboard his casino yacht, and invited Raxean to join him and Dakylco in hunting some belligerent creatures just outside of Theed. Again, Raxean decided to join them, for he'd never been hunting before. It was invigorating, though a bit trying, given he was out of practice in his martial combat for a little while. That said, he and Dakylco worked well together, and were able to defeat several dens of hostile creatures.

After the venture, Bixso met with them in the cantina in Theed. He went over what he observed, saying they had good synergy together, but that they had to learn patience, let their prey come to them (meaningful observations from a Trandoshan). After a bit more discussion on their hunt, Bixso gifted them both a few small, albeit rare and highly valuable, items. To Raxean, Bixso gave an old jedi relic, a krayt dragon pearl, and a few records (likely remnants from the old jedi archives). When Raxean asked how Bixso came by such priceless items, he was simply answered with, "I'm a collector of fine antiquities." Of course, Raxean might have given away a bit more than he would have liked in his recognizing some of these items, but perhaps his background as a Guardian of the Whills would explain that knowledge. Whether that is the case or not, Raxean found it odd that Bixso would give away particularly important items to a Force-sensitive individual so lightly.

Shortly thereafter, Bixso had to tend to other business, Dakylco accompanied him, and Raxean was left on his own. So, he took a bit more time to explore the city of Theed, and then returned to the ship to await the others' return. While the opportunity was available for Raxean to be alone, he decided to meditate on his hunting experience and the interactions he'd had with Bixso and Dakylco, trying to piece together just what the Force was leading him to do. Surely he was not meant to become a mere hunter and travel the galaxy clearing pests? That, to Raxean, seemed as if it were an odd step on his particularly profound journey thus far.

No Chance Meeting
During some downtime on their hunting excursion, while Bixso and Dakylco had other business to see too, Bixso had arranged for Raxean to meet with a friend of his back in Keren; a professor of archaeology at the university, named Faen Raal. Raxean took a shuttle back to the city, and met with Faen at the hotel. To Raxean's perspective, Faen seemed kind, though quite inquisitive (likely in no small part to his being a professor), and was rather intent on discussing Raxean's past. Raxean explained to him that he was a monk of the Guardians of the Whills, but Faen did not seem content with that answer. After some back-and-forth, he insisted that Raxean was Force Sensitive, at the least, and that he might have been a Jedi as well; at which point, he revealed that he himself was a Jedi.

Of course, Raxean was still suspicious, concerned he could be walking into a trap, but he also knew that if the Empire had wanted him, they would have found him by now; he didn't keep his being a monk of the Guardians of the Whills a secret, and it wouldn't be far fetched to assume the Empire might want to silence him from potentially spreading rebellious sentiments. In the end, he decided to trust Faen, and divulged his longer history, explaining it was because questioned the Jedi's apparent view, that only they could "permissively" use the Force, that the Order did not feel he was ready to become a Padawan. Faen thought this was a shame, saying his master and he discussed such matters at length, and extended to Raxean any aid or guidance he might want, should he wish to return to the path of the Jedi. He made it clear, he would not necessarily be a formal mentor, but more of a friend and companion, for both were in similar situations; both were left with no authority figures to turn to, and no Orders left to go back to.

Raxean was caught rather off guard by this offer, but neither accepted nor refused. He thought some time to think it through, discern the Will of the Force, and perhaps speak to Bixso about what he actually knew, and what his opinion on the matter was, would be prudent. One thing was certain, Raxean's suspicions of Bixso as Force Sensitive had been answered. It explained his interest and acquisition of those items he gifted Raxean, as well as his keener understanding of the hunt and the nature of life and the Force's influence within all things.
