STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES:
+ Gun Proficiency: Adonis was raised to be able to fire a weapon and do it with meaning. He is well versed in most standard issue weapon types, and even slugthrowers. His preference is something with a scope, but he will be able to stand his ground with just about any type of blaster.
+ Quick Learner: Adonis isn't really smarter than most people, but living a life on a planet like Jakku he was able to learn to survive and do it quickly. It doesn't take him too long to learn new skills, mastering them however, would still take much effort and patience.
- Naivety: Having been raised solely by his father since being a child on the planet of Jakku, Adonis has not had much experience dealing with other people, especially people who might try to harm him, or scam him. He will usually try to see the good in people.
- Prone to injury: Adonis may be able to fire a gun like a pro, but he has also been known to tear a leg muscle climbing his roof or tripping over a pile of scrap metal while running. Most times he was more a harm to himself than most of the critters on Jakku.
BIOGRAPHY:
Adonis Angelis IV was born on a planet that was not Jakku. He has never known what that planet was, but his father assured him they lived like kings there. Most of his life story was given to him by his father, who had fled with him to Jakku after a mysterious government power tried to kill his entire family. There were a lot of stories that Adonis would come to question after his time away from his father.
Though, he did lead a mostly-normal childhood with his father once they did arrive on Jakku. He was given what little his father could afford to give. He never went hungry and he always had clothes on his back. They did go between houses and locations more often than most families but they were not ever homeless.
There were core disciplines that Adonis's father instilled in him every day, coming from some of his vast military experiences, or those of his father's before him, or his father before him. Whatever family Adonis did come from was a proud one, being the fourth Adonis Angelis had it's stresses however. He would wake up before most adults as a child and run courses with his dad. He was taught how to shoot a gun before he could really remember his first crush.
Around 22 years of that happened before Adonis's life was altered. It was the liberation of Jakku by The Galactic Alliance that broke him of his cycle. During said liberation, he was caught in the crossfire between the Alliance and their enemies. The battle raged all around his home, and when he and his father realized it was too late to leave and try to join forces in a larger settlement, a strike team came to their property to round Adonis and his father up. Being the proud men they were, they agreed to fight to the death for their home, they would never be taken in alive.
The plan worked for one of them, Adonis's father died from a fatal shot to the neck, which awakened something inside the young man, something powerful. He went full berserker on them, tapping into the Force for the first time in his life and killing all 5 men swiftly and without forgiveness. He immediately passed out from the exhaustion, falling amongst the bodies. He would awaken in an official Alliance compound after a week or so of being in a coma to the news that he was going to be taken in for training.
It took him a while to get over the death of his father, but after a few months the thoughts of his dad were replaced with drills and thoughts of revenge on those who did it. He quickly started getting into fights with other recruits and rebelling any chance he got.
Within another couple of weeks, he found himself on the verge of being discharged from the training program altogether. Then one evening before sundown he was visited by a Jedi who told him he would be able to help him turn his life around, promising an end to the need for revenge and the start down a path of forgiveness.
Adonis took the offer; he was not about to be the first of his line to not be a military officer.
