STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES (Required: 2 Weaknesses Minimum) :

-Broken Beginnings:

Zef's troubled past has affected his opportunities in life. He is self-taught about topics in life that matter to his survival and there are plenty of other topics that he has little to no knowledge of. His frame is hardened, but weak. Although he still feels empathy and has reservations about committing misdeeds, he has been desensitized to engaging in petty theft and the occasional bad job to keep himself alive. Life has been a struggle and the marks on his body are a testament to that.

-MacGregor's Syndrome:

MacGregor's Syndrome is a disease that fills up the lungs with fluid, making it harder to breathe. There are four stages of infection and Zef has the first stage. Although it never bothered him before in his life, he now has throat discomfort and occasional coughing fits. Zef figures it'll pass, but, if it gets worse, he'll try to scrounge up enough credits to go see a doctor.

APPEARANCE:

Zef will use an old pair of scissors once in a while to keep his hair from growing too long and looking horrible. However, he does not show signs of improving the craft of cutting his own hair, which leads it to be cut and hang uneven on his head regularly.

Zef found some cool sunglasses lying around, so he took them and wears them to look more stylish. It gives him a feeling of confidentiality and maturity.

The clothing that Zef wears these days are definitely yesterday's fashion, but a lot better than they used to be when Zef first became independent. His clothing may not match fashionably, but it doesn't look too bad and he always finds access to more and new clothes. He's especially grateful for finding sources of undershirts and places to sneak a bath, as it improves his general cleanliness.

Having been forced to mostly scrounge, beg and steal food during an important stage of his physical development, Zef is not strong. He can be quick and fast in bursts, but he is not athletic enough to sustain a physical feat. He's just short enough to be considered average height instead of tall. He's not emaciated, but he is a little scrawny.

BIOGRAPHY:

Zef was one of the many forced into a hard knock life. Zef was the only child to his father and mother. His mother worked at a club and his father worked odd jobs for someone he was always afraid of. Dad didn't like it when Mom took side jobs to make more money. He'd argue with her, especially when his meds wore off. Zef tried going to school, but the kids picked on him and his father eventually wanted Zef to help him out with some of his jobs as Zef got older.

Zef was completely fine with it. Climbing through windows and looking for stuff was better than dealing with idiots at school. Mom didn't like it when Zef went with Dad, but she didn't bring it up much because she didn't want to make Dad too angry.

One day, Dad got desperate. Times were really tough, so he planned on selling Zef and his Mom into slavery. Dad's boss sent goons to the house and Mom screamed. Zef barely got away and just kept running. He stayed on the move for days until he finally reached the surface of Coruscant. He looked up at the night sky and cried. He cried because he missed Mom. He cried because he was starving. He cried because the night sky was beautiful and the polluted air was twice as fresh here than it was underground. He'd never seen the sky in real life before; only in passing here and there in school resources.

Zef managed to eek out a living and he did manage to survive, but it was always desperate living; always at least one step shy of tolerable. He grew up lean, but not strong, because of his diet and lifestyle.

834 ABY: Zef Jalba was born

844 ABY: Zef is 10 and recently estranged from his family. So many have inexplicably disappeared and left behind all their belongings. Zef kicks himself for being so inexperienced during this time. Although the duration of chaos allowed him to learn to survive by dishonesty and train how to get away with it, he would have been so much better off now if he'd been able to properly capitalize on it back then.

851 ABY: Zef is 17 years old. Turmoil, chaos and conflict have flowed and erupted across the galaxy, but Coruscant remained largely untouched by the machinations of higher powers. Coruscant was deep territory and stable, old blood. Everyone felt the effects of the galactic conflict, but planets like Coruscant weathered it better, especially with the influx of newly minted citizens hoping to quickly fill in the void left by the Netherworld occurrence.
