I'll play Datto, a Toydarian male scoundrel.
He has just made a drop of smuggled goods to a contact on the planet. He has been doing that for a few years, smuggling goods along the various trade routes. Not like he had a choice. He had debts to pay off, a lot of debts. He couldn't just up and disappear on some distant planet on the Outer Rim, since
| Do they still exist in the rebellion Era? |
the Exchange held his family, his wife and daughter, hostage.
When he returned to the dock where he landed his ship, he found the Empire sending a squad through his ship. He could hide behind a container in the docking area, until things cooled of a bit. The ship was impounded, and placed under guard. He escaped back into the city, now without a ship, and desperate to get away, since if he can't send word to his employer soon, his family might be at risk.
EDIT: Concept 2 (preferred, unless we end up with a full party of jedi

):
Qelsat, the male jedi Selkath padawan is one of the last surviving jedi in the galaxy. He understood that the empire was led by the sith, and thus they could detect the use of the force across the galaxy. So he has been careful not to use the force since order 66 was issued, and has kept his lightsaber out of view.
He's currently on Orto, where he is a doctor for the poor and the beggars. Since the occupation by the empire, medicinal supplies have gotten scarce, and people in need have substantially increased. He's also seeing a lot of suffering because of the imposed martial law.
The conflict inside him of being careful to remain hidden, or to finally reveal himself in helping the galaxy as a whole to fight these oppressors is starting to lean towards the latter. So he decided to look around to see if he can scrounge up some like-minded individuals to help him in this endeavor.
