Right. 
That puts my Kel-Dor at about 45...just a year over being middle aged. So close...
Aasan Ton:
Background: Born on Dorin to a small family, Rulae was both the youngest of his two siblings and also the only one to not show any talent with the Force. Not that it bothered him, of course, but it was strange to grow up knowing that he had both a brother and a sister off somewhere else in the galaxy.
And so it wasn't much of a surprise to his parents or friends that he left Dorin at a young age. Not even an adult, and he was off to explore the galaxy. To learn. Maybe even to find his older siblings and at least see if they'd become Jedi as his parents had been told. So the young Kel Dor hitched a ride on transports as he could, moving in from Dorin slowly to the Core Worlds.
He was only fourteen standard years old when he arrived at Coruscant. It was like nothing he'd ever seen. Sure, Coronet on Corellia was huge, but Coruscant was...he could never find the right word to describe it. He immediately found the Jedi Temple, but also found out quickly how closed off the place was to just anyone. Besides, even though he did have names on his siblings, he couldn't muster up the courage to walk in and ask if there were any records. Somehow, he just didn't feel like that would be right. He was just some young kid, anyway, why would they listen?
But his interest in the Jedi did not go unnoticed. After a few days of going back to the Temple and nearly entering, a human male approached him and asked what he was doing. At first, Aasan was nervous, but after a short conversation with the man, he learned of a possible way to be more than just a kid in the eyes of the Jedi. The man was a member of the Antarian Rangers, a group of non-Jedi who worked very closely with the Jedi Order. Though few in number, they were always looking for more to join their ranks. Of course, Aasan couldn't turn down the offer, and was soon a young Explorer in the Rangers.
Two years passed. Two years of simple jobs and recon work for the Rangers. Two years of training among them and learning about the Jedi Order and how they worked, even meeting a few Masters and Knights. And then the Clone Wars broke out. The Rangers were stretched just as thin as the Jedi, and so Aasan was quickly promoted to a full Ranger and given an immediate assignment. Halfway through the war, Aasan met the Jedi Master Lorath Kelin , an older human male who had lost his apprentice early in the war.
The two of them became near permanent partners and good friends, working together throughout the rest of the war. Slowly, the war drew to a close. Once again on Coruscant, Master Kelin assisted him in searched the archives for any sign of his siblings. They quickly discovered that both had become full fledged Jedi Knights, though the eldest was killed in a skirmish early in the war. His other sibling, though, happened to be at the Temple, and both Aasan and Kelin went to find the Kel Dor.
But it wasn't meant to be. They arrived at the main hall in time to watch a heavy cloaked Jedi strike a Kel Dor down. Aasan knew immediately it was his brother...instinct was too deep to miss something like that. But the murder wasn't done, and Aasan watched as Jedi after Jedi fell to the warrior's blue lightsaber blade. Clone Troopers were everywhere, blaster blazing at everyone that got in the way. Master Kelin urged him to leave, and grudginly, Aasan did so. He knew that he could not handle a Jedi on his own...not like this, especially. As he made his escape, he caught a glimpse of the murderer as Master Kelin fought with him. The war hero, Anakin Skywalker. Cringing from the thought of what that could mean, Aasan turned and never looked back. He knew that Master Kelin wouldn't survive, but to die here also would have done no one any good.
In the dark times that followed, Aasan found himself as hunted as the Jedi became. There seemed to be no place he could go that the agents of the new Galactic Empire couldn't find him. Somehow, though, he got away each time. Mostly due to some tricks that Master Kelin had shown him. Nothing involved in the Force, just simple tricks that anyone could do. Knowing that he wasn't going to be able to keep running forever, Aasan decided to get out of the Core. Finding a ship on an alias(as his name was one of the very high bounties in the galaxy), Aasan quickly made his way to the Outer Rim, again not even looking back.
It soon came to him that if he could escape, it was possible that others, both Rangers and Jedi, could have, too. And so he came to a decision. Avoiding the ever spreading arm of the Empire, Aasan searched the Outer Rim for any Jedi or Rangers. At the same time, he made money by selling his services to planetary government. He assisted them in bringing in criminals and even training some local defense forces. Never once did he claim to be a Bounty Hunter, as to him, it was a detestable profession. He simply did a job of keeping the far flung planets of the Outer Rim safe, which assisted in funding his search for survivors of the Purge.
He did find a few former Rangers from other planetary divisions, but all of them had joined the newly formed Rebellion against the Empire. While Aasan understood the cause, he remembered the force with which the Jedi Temple had been destroyed. He knew the might of the Empire firsthand, and knew how dangerous opposing it openly was. So he found other ways to fight what he felt was the good fight, all the while keeping up his search for anyone that had survived...despite the fact that the more time that passed the less likely it was he'd find anyone. He tracked at least a couple of possibilities from planet to planet, but they never seemed to turn up as what he'd hoped, even after the Empire fell, though that was a very helpful boost to his own personal morale.
Appearance/Personality: Aasan stands a good 1.8 meters tall, with a strong build and soft, creamy white skin with some red and orange markings here and there. His eyes are the typical black for his species, though the goggles he wears to survive on 'normal' worlds hide them, his nose, and mouth from view.
Generally, Aasan is good natured and helpful. He would have made a wonderful Jedi, as he seemed to gather all of the necessary qualities except for an ability in the Force. Despite this, though, his time in the Outer Rim taught him a few less honourable things, which he knows to put into use when necessary. He is strong willed, and very set in his ways. Because of this, he will likely always be searching out for Jedi, if only from force of habit. He works well with others, though is sometimes seen as stubborn.
There we go...rough at the edges so that its easy to throw in how everyone ended up together.
That puts my Kel-Dor at about 45...just a year over being middle aged. So close...

Jorran Kaarai
Ah jeez...I've had a bit of a change of heart. First of all, now he's Jorran Kaarai (or just 'Jor' for short), and I decided I like the whole middle-aged thing, and want to be all-jedi, so I'll put together a somewhat updated history...
Backstory
Jorran can't even remember what planet he's from, or what his parents were like. He was taken by the Jedi Council when he was very young. Because of this, his earliest memories all take place within the austere walls of the Jedi Temple on Coruscant. He was somewhat ahead of his class, but no prodigy.
While the Clone Wars raged, Jorran was a new Padawan and was travelling with Master Kirrun, his mentor, in the outer rim on a ship with another Master and Padawan, Master Annai and Iurra Khsan, respectively. They had been sent by the council to find Ruusan, the planet where the fabled 'Valley of the Jedi' was rumored to be. They were deep in an uncharted system when the two masters sensed the masacre at the Jedi Temple.
Knowing what this meant, Annai and Kirrun decided that they should seek out safety for themselves and their padawans. To begin, they landed outside of a settlement on a small moon. They easily convinced a local mechanic to buy their transport for parts, and then sell them a less conspicuous transport. They bought civilian clothes with the money left over, and set off for the other side of the rim.
While chaos wracked the core worlds, and darkness fell on the republic, Jorran and his fellow Jedi were hopping from system to system, trying to find a safe-haven. As the fear of the Jedi Purge subsided, the four Jedi were able to stay longer and longer on each planet, until they found a barely colonized moon orbiting around a blue-green gas giant.
Living just over the horizon from a small frontier town, they were able to establish a farm, and began to live peacefully. During the following years, Jorran and Iurra learned much from the two masters, and were nearly able to forget the empire and the core worlds. They lived this way for almost twenty years, but it all ended on one day about a year before the battle of Yavin.
Imperial agents arrived on the moon and found the Jedi enclave. In the ensuing battle, Master Kirrun and Annai were killed, and Iurra was badly wounded, but Jorran was unscathed when he killed the last of the attackers. Knowing that more foes would inevitably come, Jorran tended Iurra, burned the two masters on a funeral pyre, and began preparing the old transport for takeoff.
With Iurra performing the necessary calculations from the sickbay, and Jorran at the controls, the two Padawans--for lack of a council to make them into Knights--successfully made a long jump out of the system and into an asteroid belt they had hidden in once, years and years before. After Jorran used his powers to help Iurra's wounds heal, both of them made another jump, and they began a two-year series of hops from planet to planet, fleeing the Imperial agents who always seemed to be on their heels.
Eventually, they stumbled on Baltimn by accident--or destiny--and learned of the School of Hidden Wisdom. There, they found that they weren't the last Jedi in the Galaxy, and were able to hone their skills for a while. After a year or two, however, rumors came of their pursuers getting closer again.
After a long discussion with the Jedi at the school, Jorran declared that he didn't want Iurra to have to continue her life on the run, and he would lead all eyes away from the school. Despite his long-time companion's pleading, Jorran left Baltimn, after leaving enough clues to lead the Imperial agents after him.
They closed in quickly; his flight became more and more desperate, until one all signs of his pursuers disappeared; news was all over the Holonet: the second Death Star was destroyed, and the Emporer was dead.
Relieved, Jorran returned to Baltimn, only to find that Iurra had already left. He took what information he had about where she had last been seen, and set out on his search for her and and other surviving Jedi he could find.
After years of fruitless searching, a vision came to him in the force; a wild planet in the depth of space, and it was strong in the force. He followed his instincts, made jump after jump, and finally found himself over the planet that had been 'calling' to him. One final jump found him far too close to a small planet, and the ancient transport's engines finally failed when he tried to correct its trajectory. So, gathering all of his belongings, he got into the escape pod and ejected the smaller craft before the transport burnt up in the atmosphere.
DESCRIPTION
Jorran Kaarai is tall and lanky, although broad-shouldered. He has relatively long, dark brown hair that he wears back in a pony-tail, and keeps a beard like many Jedi did before him. His eyes are blue-grey, set in a fair-skinned but somewhat careworn face.
He usually dresses in a simple button-up shirt (usually black) and a pair of heavy pants (usually tan or brown), and wears a reddish brown, knee-length coat over everything. He keeps his blaster pistol on his right hip, and--when the situation calls for it--his lightsaber on his left.
His voice is naturally deep and booming, but he tends to speak softly and quietly most of the time.
PERSONALITY
Jorran is calm, self-assured (even for a Jedi), kind, and thoughful. However outwardly grim and haggared he looks from his forty-one years of hard living, he's a deeply optomistic man, and always gives people the benefit of the doubt. And, although his ultimate goal is to complete his training, and reunite with fellow Jedi (especially Iurra), he helps people whenever he can--even if it means going well out of his way--and he never asks for a reward.
OTHER/Jedi Stuff
His lightsaber is blue; it's the one that he was given by his master when he became a Padawan; another of his goals is to make his own, a task he feels ready to complete.
