STRENGTHS & WEAKNESSES
APPEARANCE
Joland is a human male with pale skin and an average build. His usual garb includes a brown synth-leather jacket and a pair of black combat boots. His hair is coffee-stained brown cropped to medium length. He has deep blue eyes that are soft, yet filled with a mix of determination, sadness, and curiosity. Joland is equipped with a utility belt, slung across his waist, containing standard Jedi equipment (aqua breather, binoculars, food ration packs, imagecaster, etc). A lightsaber with an Arbiter-style hilt hangs from his belt and a blaster pistol is strapped in a holster that hugs his torso.
BIOGRAPHY
The Quell family dates back for generations to the temperate planet Aleen Minor. Little is known about the family's migration to the planet or how the family came to be affiliated with the religious organizaton known as the Congregation of the Way. His father became head priest of the congregation sometime in the late 9th century ABY. A few years later, Joland was born. Joland was rebellious by nature and found it hard to commit to his family's spiritual way of life. Instead of attending religious service or taking care of his consumptive mother, he would often sneak away to watch the famous podracers who practiced for the Aleen Classic. Once he reached adolescence his relationship with his father became more tenuous. More was expected of the slowly maturing boy. Though guilt-stricken to follow in his family's footsteps, Joland desired something more. After long hours working concession stands at the local podraces, Joland saved up his credits and left for Coruscant. His mother cried. His father didn't.
Working odd jobs for petty credits in the underbelly of Coruscant was not the most elegant way to make a living. Wanting to branch out and embrace a different path in life, Joland joined the Coruscant Security Forces after passing by a recruiting drive. He rose through the ranks quickly despite his youth and inexperience. Unbeknownst to him, his investigative intuition was a product of his burgeoning force sensitivity. These skills landed him assignments primarily in the Coruscant underworld. Occasionally stubborn to a fault, and uninterested in acquiescence to his superiors, life as an officer of the law was difficult for Joland. Eventually, after an altercation with a superior officer, he was stripped of his rank and discharged from the CSF. He wasn't exactly disappointed, feeling he still wasn't where he belonged. The aching pull inside him was as strong as ever. By coincidence or act of fate, Joland ran into a Jedi Knight during an investigation. Joland expressed interest and helped solve the case. The Jedi noticed his Force potential and invited him to the Coruscant temple for training.
FF>>: After his promotion to Knighthood, Joland spent most of his time operating in the Coruscant underworld. After a few years, Joland yearned once again.
A new chapter begins.

STRENGTHS & WEAKNESSES
- INVESTIGATOR: Joland possesses innate talent for psychometry coupled with years of training with the Coruscant Security Force and subsequent investigation duties for the Jedi Outpost operating in the lowest levels of the Coruscant underworld. Force tracking and Force sense are among Joland's specialties.
- DRIVEN: Commitment and curiosity are among Joland's most important values. As such, he has an incessant drive for knowledge, understanding, and justice.
- CQB: Joland's security forces training as well as frequent confrontations in tight, urban spaces have honed an expertise in close-quarters combat. Skills include: blaster pistol proficiency, unarmed combat prowess, and mastery of Form III.
- DISTRUST: Joland's past with abusive authority have left him mistrustful of his superiors. As such, Joland likes to operate independently, outside of hierarchical relationships.
- IMPULSIVE: Sometimes you have to ask for forgiveness rather than for permission.
- ISOLATION: Space can be lonely. Joland is used to growing up in a tight-knit community and dwelling in densely populated areas, melting in with people and their sights, smells, and sounds. In comparison, traveling in space (something Joland does frequently as an investigator) feels empty.
