History:
Andrew Hallam was born to Antony and Diane on the planet of Naboo. His parents were just simple farmers but at a very young age Andrew realised he was destined for something more, adventurous and exciting. When he was five his parents started to notice that he had strange and powerful abilities not possessed by the other children he played with.
Shortly after finding out about his 'powers' his parents contacted a Jedi knight who regullarly visited the near-by towns, providing healing and counciling to the residents. After studying Andrew from afar for many months the Jedi knight, who went by the name of Jonas Kilgrim, he decided that Andrew's 'powers' were deffinatly influenced by the force. He concluded his tests by taking a blood sample and descovered that Andrews mediclorion count was exceptionally high. This confirmed the hopes that Andrew was force sensetive.
However, being quite old already (six years old) Andrew would have to appeal to the council for acceptance into the Jedi order. He traveled with Jonas to coruscant to stand before the council. After only a few weeks of tests the council deemed him too old to become a padawan and he was sent back to Naboo to live with his family.
As the years went on Andrew's powers grew becoming stronger each day. Jonas continued his regular visits to Naboo to check on Andrew from time to time. He not so much trained Andrew, as guided him in the right direction teaching him to use his powers only in defence and for the greater good rather than evil.
By the time Andrew was ten he had become proficient in the force, able to use his powers for basic tasks but had not yet fully harnessed his power. Unfortunatly, in the first week after harvest his house was broken into by two members of "The Black Hand" gang. They pillaged his home as he lay cowering under his bed. Whilst looting the house Andrews farther confronted the two assailants, but his attempts were in vain. They beat him in savage brutality infront of Andrews eyes and left him for dead. In those moments Andrew had gotten an insight into one of the murderers minds and descovered their hide out. The two gang members also made off with his mother as well as all the valuables in the house.
There was nothing Andrew could of done for his farther as he lay dieing in his arms. The attack left Andrew filled with hatred and he vowed revenge against the murderers. That night he took his farthers hunting knife and set off into the wilderness to track the two gang members. For two days he hunted them, only sleeping for one or two hours at a time. Eventually he made it to their hideout, an old abanndonded mine near the lakes.
As he entered the cave he could hear the screams of his mother echo around him. As they grew louder he rounded a corner and saw the two gang members beating her. Fear and hatred struck him as he saw them issue a final blow that broke her neck. As they laughed and joked, Andrew crept up behind them, drawing the hunting knife as he went. He lunged at the nearest gang member like an animal and drove the blade into his back, lodging it deep into his spine. As the first one fell to the floor the other turned in shock but was immidiatly met by an enormouse shockwave immited by Andrews hand. The gang member was flung through the air and into the cave wall and landed in a heep on the cold floor. As he tried to get up Andrew levitated him and using the force began to slowly crush his wind pipe. As he struggled for breath Andrew threw him into the wall again, killing him.
At that moment Jonas rushed into the cave, after being in the village near-by he sensed that Andrew was in danger and rushed to his aid. He found Andrew curled up in the corner, crying. After bringing him back to his house in the village Jonas decided that after the funeral of Andrews parents he should be taken back to the council to appeal again.
Two weeks past and Andrew stood infront of the council again. Jonas explained to them about the power he'd seen Andrew display and that he had no where else to go other than the academy. He also warned the council that he had seen alot of fear and anger in the boy and that if they did not act now Andrew may fall to the dark side, or worse. After careful consideration the council reluctantly agreed to accept Andrew into the Jedi order and be trained by Jonas.
Years of training past as Andrew slowly learnt the ways of the force and of being a Jedi. The training was tough and sometimes monotonous which caused Andrew to be arrogant and imatiant. This conserned Jonas but he believed that with more training Andrew could learn to contend with this. However, one month before his sixteenth birthday Jonas was killed when confronting a Sith on the forest moon of Paris IV. Andrew barely escaped the encounter by fleeing the planet and returning to coruscant where he warned the council about the encounter. All that Andrew has left to remember his old master is his lightsaber which he retrieved after Jonas was killed.
For two months Andrew has been left to train and study in the Jedi temple. He is still awaiting a new master to help him complete his training so he may join the ranks of the Jedi knights...
