Jin Odaya

**Jin Odaya** was a washed-up mercenary who teamed up with a group of adventurers. Jin was a middle-aged Twi'lek with pale-green skin, sunken eyes, and was slightly overweight. He usually wore a blue jumpsuit, and wielded a personalized blaster pistol with an ivory hand grip. He had a warm personality and a healthy humor accompanied by a loud laugh. He was an acquaintance of Hep Kotas.

## Backstory

Jin Odaya had been a promising gunslinger and mercenary, but a tragic accident brought his rising career to a standstill. His hand was severally injured. After that point, he could no longer acquire any jobs. As a result, Jin became a heavy drinker, suffering from alcoholism for many years to follow. He would go on to spend nearly all his time and money at Chalmun's Cantina on Tatooine.

## A Second Chance

### Iron Venture

Jin's misfortune ended in 14BBY when Eraz Ord propositioned Jin for his help. Together, the two would investigate the disappearance of a Rebel Faction transport called *Iron Venture*, and rescue any persons and cargo they could recover. It was there they met a surviving passenger named Tirmen Cade.

### Renegades

After working with Eraz, Jin began to associate with a certain group of adventurers. Therefore, he was present on Fobera when the Galactic Empire attacked.

During the group's stay on Melceria, Jin was struggling with his role and purpose in everything that was happening. At one point, he even considered taking up an offer from a new friend, Desmond, who was trying to smuggle certain goods off planet without the Hutt Cartel's notice. However, at the last minute, Jin decided to stay with the others and Jasmine Sunstryder, specifically.

During Jin's time with the group he became very close with Jasmine, who frequently battled with a traumatic past. He eventually began to think of Jasmine as a daughter and tried to help her through her problems. Yet despite all this, Jin continued to struggle with his personal demon, which was an alcohol addiction.

With a new base-of-operations on *Majestic Vale*, group members were officially hired as agents of the Rebel Faction. This continued while on the planet Khendo. Jin played a part in their various missions to follow: rescuing marooned rebels from a mynock-infested asteroid field and making several delivery runs supplies to rebel allies on other planets.

### The Hunt for Panacea's Treasure

Jin Odaya, along with other group members, agreed to assist Hal Calder in his quest to stop the Galactic Empire from discovering an ancient Sith secret. They traveled to such locations as Reaper's World, Adumar, and Panacea's starship *Chalice*. Ultimately, they discovered the Sith Lord Panacea and his army waiting to be awoken from carbonfreeze sleep. After a grueling battle of willpower, they able to defeat Panacea and entomb him permanently within his underground chamber.

## Retirement

Jin also served as a Watcher Unit officer for District 9 in Centropolis for several years. He was partnered with a man named Ruan Sutka. By 10BBY, Jin met a local widowed woman, married her, and then moved out of the Khendo Compound. Although no longer working for the Rebel Faction, Jin continued to serve in his Watcher Unit role until the Empire replaced them with stormtroopers.
