Bio: Jonah is one of the youngest bounty hunters ever to roam the galaxy, however, he is also known to be one of the best. Nicknamed Killer Flash, his reputation as a top notch fighter, pilot, and tracker...as well as a fast talking, witty adventure seeking brawl lover, card player, and rmichevous ladies man, has spread throughout bounty hunter and underground circles.
Very little is known of his past, and only a select few have knowledge of it. Possibly an Earth human, he was orphaned under mysterious circumstances soon after he was born. A Jedi Master named Jac Longray knew of the child and took him in. Seeing the boy's Force potential, he decided to take it upon himself to not only raise him, but train him as a Jedi.
Jonah learned quickly while growing up, and soon befriended another boy named Sah'ar Suntoucher, who would later become his best friend. While the two were good companions, they had differing personalities. Jonah was the outspoken type, very outgoing and energetic, the one who loved to attact attention. Sah'ar was more reserved, and even though he was known to be outgoing with close friends, was usually the quiet type, mostly emersed with his thoughts and imagination. The one thing that they both had a passion for, besides late 20th century music, was their fight training, though in terms of Jedi training Sah'ar took it more seriously. Jonah didn't like some of the things that he felt were restrictive, mostly with fight protocol. This would end up causing a major schism with him and his master.
Longray was trained in the Lucasian way of the Jedi, and thus, had many conservative views about Jedi behavior. Some of those beliefs Jonah didn't cling to, as he identified more with the philosophy of his friend's more unorthodox training, but he was able to live with most of it...most, except for the ways of fighting.
Longray felt that all a Jedi should use in battle is his lightsabre and his skill in the Force. Jonah felt differently. He felt that in battle, a Jedi should be free to express him or herself in whatever way is natural to them, whether with a lightsaber or a blaster, as long as they were true to themselves and the Force. This especialy held true to him after he saw some footage and notes on the Corellian blaster style "The Way of the Gun", as well as the obscure and rare Jedi version. He wanted to do some research into the art and study it, but Longray wouldn't have it, saying that such a style is unbecoming to a Jedi.
Jonah, not one to back down from something he wanted, did his reseach and training in the art in secret. Soon he was able to put together an impresive style of his own, not only relying on blaster work, but mixing it with is already deadly sabreplay as well. Longray soon discovered the padawan's secret project and ordered him to stop it at once. Jonah, frustraited, challenged his master to a sparing match; his "heathenistic" style versus his master's "honerable" one. If he lost, he would stop studing the Way of the Gun, if he won, he would leave his master's tutelege. Longray, thinking that his student was foolish and didn't know what he was getting into, accepted.
The Jedi master soon realized however, that the youth had learned his lessons very well. It was a challenging duel, but Jonah had won. Without a look behind him he packed his things, gave a flipant farewell, and left. He would not continue to persue a path that he felt was pompus, restrictive, and unrealistic.
Jonah soon found his calling in the world of the bounty hunter, where he was able to work for justice HIS way...as well as get some good fights out of it. One of his more memorable bouts was when he fought against a reptillian Sith lord who was known for hunting down Jedi to see if they were worthy enough to live. Jonah beat him after a rough battle, and the Sith, actually pleased with the outcome, gave him the weapon he was using before he died, a beautifully crafted katchzin blade styled like a ninja-to. Jonah immediately took a fancy to it, and made it his main weapon, sending his lightsabre back to his master with a note that he had "outgrown it".
Now a well known bounty hunter in his own right, Jonah continues to roam the galaxy in
his modified gunboat, The Maniacal Raven, looking for a good adventure to get
himself into. As long as there are villans to hunt down, fun scraps to be in, good fighting
women to "befirend", and money to collect, Jonah will continue to do what he does best, and
have the time of his life. Yet little does he know, that the Jedi calling is not an easy one to
turn one's back on, and that his destiny and heritage is closer to him than he thinks.
