-Pessimist- Veleon believes himself to be a realist, and there is some truth to this, but at the end of the day he tends to lean more towards a pessimistic nature. He usually sees the worst in others and situations. This fact makes him too cautious at times as well as too quick to give up on or abandon things and others.

Biography:
Many if not most of the inhabitants of the galaxy have heard the legends of Count Dooku. He was the leader of the Confederacy of Independent Systems as well as the main enemy of the Galactic Republic during the Clone Wars. He ended up dying in the final stages of it as well as the Republic and Confederacy as the Empire was created from them. What few did know however was that Dooku had a family back on Serenno. They suffered from the lose and became a shadow of their former selves due to the same events that killed the infamous Count. They retained their claim to nobility and enough of their wealth to reflect this life style.
The only living family that Veleon has known since his birth is his mother Juliette. The reason for this is because she killed her father Christopher in a duel and had her mother Alyena assassinated. He is uncertain, and even less sure if his mother does, if she was pregnant with him at the time or not, but a year after he was born. So he was denied the loving or perhaps cold affections of grandparents from before he was born. He also has never known who his father is. His mother never tells him when he asks, and even the records of his birth are mysteriously lacking in any details of whom his father might be.
Growing up in the Dooku household, Valeon had everything he could hope for in the qualities and quantities to be expected from a child in a noble household. The only thing he lacked was the affections of his mother. She was always more focused on her ambitions than her own son. He filled this hole in his life as best he could with learning everything from history to politics to biology to sword play. He grew his general behaviors during this time and it shaped who he would be to come.
At the tender age of eight, Veleon awakened to the force. He began to have strange, twisted dreams at night and during the day he had mysterious events such as moving objects and unnatural feelings. This went on for over a year before his mother finally noticed. She began to give her personal attention from the age of nine until the age of twelve as she taught him the basics so he could control his new found gift. This attention fueled the fires of his desire for his mother's affections, so it did not go well when she stopped paying attention to him when she was finished.
At the age of thirteen and throughout all of his teenage years, Veleon decided to rebel to get his mother's attention again. He started by skip out on his lessons, despite how much he enjoyed them, by going to one of three places. He would either go to the palace gardens, one of the many studies, or wander around the courtyard. This did not get her attention, so by the time he was fifteen he began to sneak out to go to the woods around his home. He read underneath trees, swam in rivers and lakes, and explored caves. But just as before, it had not gotten his mother's attention so he went even further at the age of seventeen to heading into the cities of his homeworld. He began to illegally drink at bars for wealthy commoners, but still for commoners.
Veleon quickly learned that bars were places that had fights erupt out, even upper class ones, and games of chance could be easily found especially in those. He got involved in both activities often, and it caused him to spend many late nights away from home. He began to carry around a cane with a hidden blade in it with him for just these reasons. His reputation and the reputation of his family began to suffer from this, and his efforts finally got the attention of his mother. She was angry at him, but not because he was harming himself. She was angry about the political impact it had on her efforts to gain power. This just spurred him on further with his misbehavior.
Veleon almost lost his life one night at the age of nineteen when he was gunned down outside of a bar one night by men looking for revenge. He was barely saved thanks to the efforts of a jedi healer who was visiting the planet. She noticed his sensitivity and decided to stay around to help him. She sensed his inner turmoil and made it her mission to help him through it. He began to spent more and more time with the woman, and soon formed a connection. She was like a second mother to him, and one who gave him the attention he had long been denied. Eventually his mother learned of this however and decided to forbid the woman from seeing her son.
Veleon normally would have rebelled against this act, but decided to respect his mother's decision instead out of respect for the jedi's efforts. He learned she had gone off to help others and had been killed by Sith. He took this lose hard, as she was the only person who took a personal interest in his well being. After a morning period, Veleon vowed he would never go down the path of a Sith has his ancestor had. He did not want to suffer the same fate as his legendary patriarch and could not forgive the Sith for the death of his old master.
