Orphaned Beginnings
From a young age, Acier clung to his lightsaber - his birthright, as a source of comfort, fantasising at all the possibilites of what his parents could have been. The overcrowding at the orphanage forced Acier to become more independent, he learned to navigate the labyrinthine alleys and underlevels of the city. He became adept at scavenging, pickpocketing, and running errands for local merchants and, occasionally, less savory individuals.
Life on the Streets
Then there was "Red", a smuggler who introduced Acier to the wider galaxy's complexities. Through Red, he learned about the Jedi, Sith and the broader implications of the Force. Hearing these stories made Acier realise he was Force-sensitive and that one of his parents was likely a Jedi, the orphan would keep this information to himself - unsure of who he could trust.
Around the age of thirteen, Acier would meet Tessk - a Trandoshan enforcer for a local but small crime syndicate. After impressing the Trandoshan with his cunning and other skills, the orphan was employed for small tasks which exposed Acier to the darker aspects of the galaxy.
Final Job and Leaving Home
At seventeen, Acier's curiosity about his parents, the lightsaber and his growing connection to the Force had finally become too much to ignore. The young man decided it was time to finally leave Bonadan and explore the galaxy he'd grown up hearing from Red. In need of credits to book departure, Acier agreed to work one last job for Tessk with the promise of enough pay for him to get off the rock.
Acier was tasked with delivering a sealed container to a contact at a remote docking bay. The job seemed straightforward, but Acier's instincts told him there was more beneath the surface.
Upon arrival, Acier discovered the contact was an undercover agent working against Tessk's syndicate. A confrontation ensued, leading to a skirmish that resulted in the usage of Acier's lightsaber and the accidental ignition of volatile materials stored nearby. The ensuing explosion engulfed the docking bay in flames. Amidst the chaos, Acier was able to use his latent Force sense to navigate the blaze, rescuing trapped workers and narrowly escaping with his life.
In the wake of the disaster, Tessk accused Acier of double crossing him, claiming he had orchestrated the explosion to sabotage the syndicate. In retaliation, Tessk placed a bounty placed on his head, wanting him dead or alive. Needing to flee Bonadan but with no credits to his name, Acier was forced to stow away on a cargo ship headed to the nearest planet.
Bonadan now behind him, Acier would dedicate himself to finding a teacher to train him, discovering who his parents were and evade the bounty on his head.
P E R S O N A L I T Y
Acier Moonbound was known for his introspective nature and guarded disposition. Having grown up in the industrial slums of Bonadan as an orphan, he developed an early sense of self-reliance and a sharp, adaptable mind. Acier often came across as aloof or emotionally reserved, though this was less from arrogance and more a reflection of deep-rooted trust issues. He was slow to open up to others, preferring to observe from the sidelines and assess his surroundings before acting.
Despite his caution, Acier possessed a strong moral compass and a quiet sense of resolve. He was known to be both resourceful and quick-witted under pressure, favoring pragmatic solutions over reckless bravery. In dangerous situations, he was able to make snap decisions and improvise with whatever tools were at his disposal, whether in combat or infiltration scenarios. His dry wit and sarcastic remarks were occasional glimpses of the boy beneath the wariness: a survivor shaped by hardship but not fully hardened by it.
A defining trait of Moonbound's personality was his intense curiosity. The mystery of his origins and the lightsaber he was left with as a child drove him across the galaxy in search of answers. This search formed the emotional core of his journey, often guiding him into forgotten temples, backwater cantinas, or tense alliances with smugglers and Jedi alike. He frequently relied on gut instincts, later understood to be manifestations of the Force, and while he lacked formal Jedi training for much of his youth, he was attuned to its presence in subtle, intuitive ways.
Though outwardly independent, Acier was not immune to loneliness. He often longed for mentorship, particularly someone who could help him make sense of his powers and past. His demeanor gradually softened in the presence of allies he deemed trustworthy, especially fellow wanderers, Force sensitives, and outcasts. However, he remained deeply protective of his autonomy and was wary of institutions, having grown up far from the reach of the influence of the Galactic Alliance, Royal Naboo Republic, the Sith Order and others.
As a Force-sensitive individual, Acier displayed a natural affinity for psychometry and low-level telekinesis, though he initially lacked control over these abilities. His connection to the Force was described by others as "frayed at the edges"—not broken, but unrefined and wounded. Over time, with exposure to Jedi knowledge and guidance, Acier's confidence in his abilities and sense of identity gradually grew, though he often remained haunted by the question of who he truly was.
P H Y S I C A L- A P P E A R A N C E
Acier's eyes are a deep, expressive brown, often reflecting a mix of curioisty and caution. Observant, they are frequently scanning Acier's surroundings - a habit ingrained from years of hyper vigilance.
His facial features are defined yet youthful, with high cheekbones and a symmetrical jawline softened by the freckles that adorn his face. A faint scar also runs along his left eyebrow, a remnant from a childhood mishap.

L I G H T S A B E R- A B I L I T I E S
Moonbound wielded a single-bladed lightsaber that had been left with him at birth. Though he carried the weapon with symbolic attachment, he had no formal training in its use during his early adventures. He was known to fight in a southpaw stance, favoring his left hand, and often relied on the blade more as a deterrent than a practical weapon.
When forced to fight, Acier's lightsaber style was improvisational - marked by agility, fast footwork, and reactive movements rather than discipline or technique. As his journey continued, he gradually began to integrate basic lightsaber tactics with his Force awareness and street fighting tactics.
F O R C E- P O W E R S
Acier displayed an intuitive and evolving connection to the Force from a young age. While untrained for much of his early life, Moonbound experienced instinctive premonitions, heightened reflexes, and occasional visions. As he grew older, his bond with the Force deepened, often manifesting through vivid dreams and cryptic impressions. These visions eventually led him to sites of significance, such as ancient Jedi temples and Nightsister ruins. His aura was described by other Force-sensitives as frayed and unfinished, yet emotionall potent - marked by trauma, openness and potential.
He demonstrated the rare ability to perceive redisual emotions and memories embedded in objects, though it initially manifsted uncontrollably and left him disoriented.
While not fully developed, Acier exhibited the ability to perform rudimentary Force pushes, typically triggered under duress.
Despite his raw potential, Moonbound's Force abilities were largely self-taught or instinctual, shaped more by experience and adversity than formal instruction.
O T H E R- A B I L I T I E S
Raised on Bonadan, a corporate world plagued by corruption and poverty, Moonbound developed strong survival instincts. From childhood, he navigated the underworld by learning to fight, steal and adapt.
Acier's unrefined but effective combat style was rooted in brawling, grappling and quick reflexes honed through necesity.
Though not a trained gunslinger, he demonstrated functional competence with small blasters, especially in high-stress situations.
Acier also exhibited impressive physical coordination, capable of traversing complex environments at speed, often while under fire.
Moonbound's survival was shaped not by raw strength but by speed, cunning and tenacity. He relied on gut instinct and acute awareness of his surroundings to outmaneuver more powerful opponents.
In addition, Acier possessed significant technical aptitude, having been mentored by a former slicer named Mira during his formative years. He became proficient at bypassing security systems and manipulating digital infrastructure. He once brokered a deal with the Black Sun by offering to slice into a rival syndicate's systems.
Acier demonstrated skill in repairing and modifying starships, hyperdrives and other mechanical systems.
These skills combined with his Force-sensitivity made him a valuable asset in both underground dealings and ancient artifact recovery.

The only possession he owns is the lightsaber left with him at his birth, which he occasionally flashes for intimidation when he feels under threat - despite not actually knowing how to use it. The lightsaber itself has a simple, almost makeshift design, with a metallic chrome casing and a leather grip on its centre. The colour of the blade is cyan.
While on Denon, Ace purchased an illegal DL-27. It had a modified grip for quicker draw and was tuned for overcharge costs.
