Sola, Joss

Background: Joss Sola was born to Tybris Sola (CEO and founder of the galaxy-wide shipping company Sola Exports) and his trophy wife Hapan ex-actress Chel Tempesta. Falling into a life of luxury, Joss had the privilege to learn invaluable skill sets from both parents: from his father he learned the practical aspects of life- business, politics, and negotiations. From his mother, he learned a variety of fine arts- acting, disguise, and stage performance. As he grew older, Joss took a particular interest in the ‘pirate film’ genre, glorifying swashbuckling heroes in the days of the Old Republic. Realizing his opportune situation, Joss insisted his father begin allowing him to travel the trade routes, and so he did.

There, he learned from the pilots who frequently fell on a less-than-legal side of the law. Ideas of fame, fortune, and glory filled his mind- he threw himself into the studies he would garner from the pilots and crews, learning piloting in various forms, basic pistol marksmanship, and (naturally) swordsmanship. He became quite popular amongst the pilots in his father’s organization, and as he grew older his father gave him segments to run. The teenager had a surefire edge when he entered university, which he easily blew through.

While studying at the prestigious Corulag University of Economics, Joss met the beautiful Lee’ra Tel’se- a Twi’lek businesswoman who had overcome her racial adversity and garnered staggering support. The two fell wildly in love and graduated together, immediately throwing themselves into Sola Exports, taking control of the region of space around and into Hutt Territories.

While on a routine shipment to Iktotch, Lee’ra’s convoy was attacked by raiders. They were prepared and the attack succeeded- Lee’ra, the crew, and the shipment were captured and placed for a two million-credit ransom. Immediately, Joss began assembling a rescue crew, but his father stopped him- Sola Exports was not geared towards battle, and the loss of additional life could not be justified. He ordered Joss to wait out the captors.

The next day, Joss set out alone. Using his connections gained while travelling, Sola quickly located the pirate force, hidden deep in Hutt Space. He was smuggled onboard the pirate prison-ship by an associate, and found Lee’ra… Or what was left of her. In a fit of uncontrollable rage, Sola recklessly attacked the crew, summoning his dormant force powers for the first time and massacring all in his path- friend and foe, captive and captor. Standing in the wreckage he had unleashed, Sola knew he could not return to normal life. He decided to stage his own demise and start a new life under the moniker ‘Regret’.

The then twenty-four year old ‘Regret’ found himself on the Smuggler’s Moon, Nar Shaddaa- he had picked up a job as a low-level bounty hunter, chasing slavers and pirates across the western half of the galaxy in a wasted search for justice in memory of his fallen lover. His notoriety was rising, however, and soon gained the attention of a Hutt Lord- Yuja. He accepted a position as a soldier and formulated a plan to strike back at the criminals.

Over the span of a year, Regret became one of Yuja’s finest enforcers, rising to become a secret majordomo. It was there that he single-handedly orchestrated the collapse of Yuja the Hutt’s criminal empire and the death of the crime lord- once again; he retreated into the shadows and emerged on Malastare.

Once again, Sola was at a loss of how to proceed. By destroying Yuja’s operations he had undoubtedly shifted the course of the galaxy for the better, but it had done little to bring Lee’ra back. Resigning himself to his work, Regret began to apply his methods to take down a particularly nasty Dug, but his plan was cut short.

It was another slow night in his favorite hotspot, and Joss was waiting for an informant to arrive. Instead, another man slid into the booth across the table and referred to him by his true name- he hadn’t heard it spoken aloud in almost half a decade. That night Regret blew off his informant and a very valuable lead as he listened to the stories this man (soon self-identified as Adept Turl Opolon) told him. His words were like silk, his stories carrying the very essence of life- they sparked a desire for adventure he’d not had since he was a child. Like a dream come true he was offered the chance to join these ‘Sith’- he quickly snatched up the chance.

With the promise of Force Mastery and the ability to have a real impact on the galaxy, Regret threw himself into his studies, utilizing all of his talents for the good of his masters, the Sith, and the Empire as a whole- hoping some day he’ll be able to drive out the corruption and villainy that plagued the galaxy once and for all.

Personality: Cool and collected, Regret has an attitude expected of a former bounty hunter. Usually gruff and dangerous, he recognizes times when respect and formality are critical- his astute acting abilities allow him to shift into any position ranging from street rat to modern royalty. Sola is generally kindhearted to his friends and sometimes to his enemies, but this aspect is rarely seen. Instead, he frequently suffers with a case of depression, never truly forgiving himself for failing to protect his lover and his rage-fueled massacre. This sorrow allows him to act cold and emotionless- above all else he realizes that a mission must be done and personal feelings should be put aside.

He is highly educated and quick to learn. His memory is quick and his wit is sharp, though usually he prefers to remain silent. Not allowing himself time for hobbies, Sola primarily works on his skillsets and tinkers with electronics until he has a mission, where he throws himself entirely towards his goal. He is a master of improvisation and hates predetermined situations- they lack the fire and excitement that he craves.

Objectives: To bring stability, peace, and an end to slavery, piracy, crime, and villainy across the galaxy by any means.

A Quote: "There are two kinds of people in this galaxy- good, upstanding citizens, and dead men. Which are you?"
