Renato Farani

Renato Farani was born in 1 BBY on the Colonies planet Froswythe, he spent much of his earliest days tending his father's farm and defending it from the native plain panthers. He showed quite a prowess for fighting off the beasts, especially with the family vibroblade.

He never took too much interest in the fight between the Rebellion and the Empire; certainly, he heard propoganda from both sides, but he never really considered himself part of all of that. He enjoyed the simple life on Froswythe; certainly, he did not always want to be a farmer, but it suited him, and the few times he had visited the big cities - including one trip to Coruscant with his mother - he had hated the crowds and the noise. He liked peace and quiet, and tending farms on his home planet fit that perfectly.

He never attended formal education, but he loved to read when he was not working the farm, so his quality of Basic is actually quite exceptional, as is his knowledge of Galactic history and events. Once, when he was barely a year old, a strange old man told his mother that he would become powerful in the Force. After that day, she never saw him again; she supposed he must have been one of the Jedi Masters of old, in hiding, and he may have died. She did not tell anyone of this prophecy until Renato mentioned the Jedi meeting at Midpoint coming up; she told him then and, against his father's permission, he went to the meeting. Soon afterward, he was called to Onderon, the new home of the Jedi Academy...
