Star Wars: Jedi Academy (OOC|Open)

[Anowa]

A long time ago in a galaxy far,
far away. . . .





-| JEDI ACADEMY |-
A Reboot of Beiarusia's RP of the same name

---

{- IC -}

---

It has been a little over 19 years since the signing of the Galactic Concordance which ended the Galactic Civil War. The New Republic stands on it's newly sprouted legs as it shoulders the weight of a galaxy wracked by war and bloodshed. Meanwhile, away from the politics and logistics required from a newly founded nation, LUKE SKYWALKER, Hero of the New Republic seeks to restore the Jedi order on the newly constructed Academy on YAVIN 4. At his side in such an endeavor are the scant few Jedi Knights he has trained in the past decade.

However, this Cold War is not meant to last. the Republic still flounders to exercise any form of power, movements and the temptation of independence making a consolidation of power difficult. Hutts and criminal empires continue to grow, flexing their might where the Empire and Republic have yet to tread, leaving a blanket of criminal oppression in their wake. With reports of the Imperial Remnant reorganizing their forces for a continuation war, the Republic needs the warriors of the Jedi order now more than ever.

However the geopolitical machine is not the most worrisome news for the new Jedi Order. Fringe world reports of individuals of frightening power and supernatural capability have reached Master Skywalker, and while the Jedi are reforming, so too is the dark side.

The rebirth of the JEDI ORDER is recent, but they will soon be tested by the force in more ways than expected. The trials and tribulations of the coming years shall be the legacy of eons of Jedi who came before. The warriors of the light may reclaim their place in The Force....

Adopting the role of a Jedi Padawan in the era after the Galactic Civil War, you will attend the Jedi Academy on Yavin 4 to be trained in the ways of lightsaber combat and how to utilize the Force. Despite the name, this is not an academy RP, instead it will progress over a number of missions tasked to you at the behest of Master Skywalker and members of the New Republic. Content and lore will be a mix of Canon and Legends, with a rather stiff diverging point into an alternate universe being the signing of the Galactic Concordat, ending the Galactic Civil War, and reducing the Empire into the Remnant. After this point, much of what this RP entails will be original plot in the faith of the expanded universe. The events of the recent "Sequel Trilogy" do not occur, at least not as intended. Anowa is the OP, Mandicora is Co-OP.

• Delete everything in parenthesis and/or unused optional slots.
• Multiple characters will be allowed within reason with a soft limit of two.
• Apprentices will start with a borrowed lightsaber (single/dual - blue/green) and will create their own later.
• No overpowered characters. The Jedi have yet to recover fully and there is still much to learn.
• Lightsabers at the moment are raw hand me downs, you'll get to build your own later.

NEW REPUBLIC
The successor faction to the Alliance to Restore the Republic, the New Republic is a democratic power forged during and after the fall of The Empire. However the power vacuum on many planets that formed as a result of a swift and sudden vacancy of overlords has left them somewhat flundering to cement itself as the galactic authority. Currently attempting to rebuild the planets affected by the galactic civil war, some senators naively beleive the Imperial Remnant is no true threat anymore. Coruscant is the capital with Mon Mothma being elected as the first Chancellor.


NEW JEDI ORDER
At the behest of Jedi Master Luke Skywalker, the Jedi Order was reformed in 11 ABY with the aid of several force sensitive individuals and the New Republic. Created as a place for Jedi both new and old to learn together it is where Luke had trained the first generation of Jedi Knights in a class numbering almost two dozen. The Jedi Praxeum resides in an old Rebellion base on Yavin 4 that has since been reworked to fit the needs of the Jedi Order.


IMPERIAL REMNANT
the fractured remnants of the Empire following the Battle of Jakku retreated to the Outer Rim before digging in on what little territory they could claim. Despite no longer being a truly unified structure, the Imperial Remnant remains a distant threat to the fragile order the galaxy rests in. Rumor has it that the Remnant is at risk of splintering into various factions due to the power vacuum of the now dissolved Council of Moffs. Bastion is the capital with Grand Admiral Idaz Courn being the de jure Emperor via line of succession.


HUTT CARTEL
With a notably lessened grip on their activities by the dissolution of the Empire and the lack of hard power being exuded by the Republic, the Hutt Cartel has comparatively exploded into territory less actively policed by either faction. Despite such a glaring threat to the safety and control over the galaxy, the Republic had yet to create a plan of action beyond surveying the situation. This inability to address the problem has lead to bolder and bolder actions being taken by the Hutts. Moervizz Glirkiohl Khersoc has taken the place of Jabba the Hutt on the Grand Hutt Council following the latter's death.


RESURGENT SITH
Though the reality of the situation was never truly revealed to the galaxy at large, the last two sith lords were killed in the Battle of Endor by Master Skywalker. However the Imperial Inqusitorius still had active members at the time of the battle. Their number being unknown to both the Jedi and Republic, it is very likely that rumors of dark Jedi roaming the seedier parts of the galaxy are these Inquisitorius, either working for the Remnant, or of their own volition.

Can I be [race/species]?

Yes, within reason, obviously species that are extinct or otherwise force insensitive are out. Just use common sense.

At what age should my character be?

Preferably between 13-18 though characters over this limit are permissible, I'd like it if most were in the younger range, the New Jedi Order is scraping the barrel so to speak, but they aren't gonna be drawing in geriatrics.

Can I be a Mandalor-

Mandalorians are acceptable, just don't be that guy about it. You know the one. Any mention of Grey Jedi, crushgaunts, or running headlong into a lightsaber duel with reckless abandon will result in a swift removal.

Can I be Darth Edge?

That's a fat no from me dawg. If that's the route you absolutely want to take, I'd prefer some characterization leading up to it.

Background:

Lyra's family were Spacers, Lyra was a spacer, or had been. Aboard a Corellian freighter Lyras father had made a living for himself and his young wife by doing odd jobs for the hutts and cartels. He would smuggle people, drugs, and other things past Imperial and Republic lines. Somewhere in this time Lyra and her brother Mika were born. Lyra was the elder of the siblings and made it known frequently throughout their childhood.

When Lyra was 12 her father took a new job for a local Cartel, smuggling illegal weapons into Imperial space. Bad luck struck when an Imperial patrol came across the freighter, knowing what it would mean for him and his family of they were caught Lyra's father turned the ship around and attempted to flee. The bad luck continued when the patrol open fired and quickly overwhelmed the ships shields, instead of boarding the ship the patrol continued it fire. Lyra's family were lucky that below them was an inhabited planet so they entered the escape pods and attempted to flee. However when entering the first escape pod, Mika stumbled and accidently hit the pods launch sequence, sealing Lyra off from the first pod.

Lyra entered the second pod and launched by herself, watching with fear as the green laser shots flashed by her pod and her families pod. Finally when beginning to enter the atmosphere of the planet Lyra watched with horror as a well placed shot slammed into the other pod and disintegrated it. She landed on the planet below, young, alone and afraid. She was lucky when two years later, after a long time of nearly starving, she was found by luke skywalker and taken away to the New jedi order.

Can't wait for this

[Urran]

Name: Zam Thrace
Age: 22
Gender: Male
Species: Human

Appearance: 5'8", 120lbs, long white hair with white eyes, though his hair and visor cover them. Of slender, yet sturdy build. His left arm is cybernetic, the real one being removed in some form of human experimentation.

Lightsaber: Silver duel phase, specializes in Form II Makashi
Equipment: Cybernetic visor granting vision

Personality: Calm and collected, but damaged and prone to night terrors and dark visions. Perhaps he is not as calm and collected as he seems, but is rather incapable of feeling or expressing certain emotions. It is difficult to tell. Thrace, as he prefers to be known, is a spiritualist and bookworm, preferring quiet study in solitude to being with the others. He has a fragmented mind and is full of fear and dread.

Likes: Books, scrolls, data files, and texts, all will find a place in the heart and mind of this studious lore master. Thrace enjoys long hours of study and quiet meditation. He has an affinity for the living Force, that being the only true source of comfort that he knows. The Force is fluid and so alive, though he has often known sorrow and death. To him, no knowledge is forbidden.

Dislikes: The Imperial Remnant and everything that they stand for. Thrace has personal reasons for this, thankfully vengeance is not the Jedi way....right?

Goals: Put Simply, knowledge. The young Jedi seeks this above almost all else. Knowledge and ideals are what the world is built on, and Thrace has a desire to learn as much as he can about lore, the Galaxy at large, and perhaps most importantly, himself.

Fears: Thrace was, for lack of a better term, a living lab rat. As such he has night terrors and frequent dark visions. His greatest fears are falling completely to the dark side and seeing the apparitions of his worst nightmares come to reality. The return of the Empire and the fall of the New Order figure large in the dark corners of his mind. He has a particular phobia, practically hatred, of needles and medical droids.

Background: For some, the past is shrouded in in mystery. Thrace is one of that some. He knows almost nothing of his past before the Lab. After the fall of the Empire, it became known that Darth Sidious kidnapped force sensitive children for human experimentation for training as Dark Side adapts. Most ended up as nothing more than husks, shells of whatever they had been as Sidious used them to continue the work of his former master in unlocking the secrets of the Force and immortality. Even after Sidious's death, some in the Empire continued with this dark harvest.

Thrace had somehow been undiscovered until a little later in life, rather than as a toddler, and spent five years within a secret Imperial lab before being liberated when New Republic forces began to uncover Palpitine's dark secrets and buried treasures. Still, he was submitted to cruel tests of every possible measure. He remembers little but needles, cold, hard surfaces, and pain, terrible pain. Had it gone on much longer, he likely would have been completely lost.

The experimentation left him without the ability to see and this relies on the Force and a cybernetic visor.

He was sent to Yavin in hopes that Jedi training could help heal his broken spirit and mind. Upon realization that he remembered nothing before the lab, he settled on a name for himself.

Skills: An adept duelist, Thrace still enjoys the use of Force abilities. Being the subject of many Dark Side experiments, he has a knack for sensing that side of the force. Tapping into the emotions of fear lends to more power in the force, but the Jedi say that is a bad thing.

Weaknesses: Fear, hate, and attachment are things the Jedi of old warned of, and Thrace has all of them in spades. Fear and hate of the past, and quite attached to his new life.

Third time's the charm

Name: Martius Shan
Age: 57
Gender: Male
Species: Human

Appearance: 6'2'', 175lbs

Lightsaber: Blue, vented lightsaber
Equipment: A-180 blaster pistol, comlink, datapad

Personality: Martius' experiences have left him slow to trust, and the countless friends he's lost over the years have made him somewhat cold and hesitant to befriend others for fear that he may lose them too. That said, those who get to know Martius well enough will find him a loyal compatriot and honorable man who always strives to do the right thing and atone for the sins of his past.
Likes: The Light Side, competence, honor, history
Dislikes: The Dark Side, laziness, belligerence
Goals: Help the New Jedi Order to grow and avoid the mistakes of the past, to move beyond and atone for his own past
Fears: Failing the New Jedi, the Dark Side

Background:

Born into a family with a long history of a strong connection to the Force going back countless generations, it was no surprise when Martius was discovered to be Force Sensitive. He was brought to the Jedi Temple on Coruscant while still an infant, and was raised by the Order. Like many younglings he trained under Master Yoda for much of his youth, until completing his Initiate Trials at the age of 10 and becoming a Padawan. A natural with a lightsaber, he caught the eye of the Echani Jedi Master Meetra Fenni, who would go on to select him as her apprentice. Eager to impress his new Master, Martius was extremely diligent in his training with Master Fenni, and learned a great deal in a short amount of time. Meetra was impressed enough by Martius' performance that she even began to train him in the Echani martial arts in addition to his Jedi studies.

After learning the basics of the lightsaber forms, Martius decided to focus his studies on Form V Djem So, which he studied with his master and further supplemented with the Echani techniques she taught him, and Form III Soresu, which he learned from the Jedi Battlemaster Cin Drallig alongside a number of other Padawans. When not studying on Coruscant, Martius accompanied his Master on a variety of adventures (and the occasional misadventure) ranging from mediating negotiations to battling pirates in the Outer Rim. While studying for his Trials he also became very interested in Galactic History, particularly when he learned that an ancestor of his named Satele had once been none other than the Grand Master of the Jedi Order. History continued to be a major point of interest for him, even after successfully completing his Trials and becoming a Jedi Knight, to the point that he even once considered becoming a full-fledged Jedi Historian.

Martius still stuck with his Master for a few months after attaining Knighthood, feeling there was still much he could learn from her, and the two got in a number of scuffles with the Trade Federation before the Clone Wars. Unfortunately however, those small fights could not prepare them for the scale of combat they would face on the planet of Geonosis. Though Martius would survive the battle, thanks in large part to ARC Commander Maverick, the clone who would later become his XO, his Master was not so fortunate. In the wake of Meetra's death, Martius began devoting every waking moment to honoring her memory and sacrifice by doing everything in his power to preserve the Republic and the Jedi Order by winning the war they were now faced with, at any cost.

Thanks in large part to his studies of military history, Martius proved to be an exceptional strategist, and unlike most Jedi, tended to focus on the long term benefits and detriments of his actions, rather than their immediate consequences. This led to Martius developing a sort of "Needs of the many outweighs the needs of the few" mentality, and that combined with his devotion for the Republic's cause would serve him well over the next three years as he led the 53rd Legion in battles all over the Galaxy: from the crystalline skyscrapers of Christophsis, to the shadow world of Umbara, the dense jungles of Felucia, and most everything in between. Martius, Maverick, and the 53rd all fought valiantly in each engagement they found themselves thrust into, and the Jedi General received numerous commendations for his actions in the war, including the Cross of Glory for tireless fighting in liberating the planet of Garos IV despite having been severely injured by Separatist artillery.

This mentality would eventually come to backfire on Martius however, when in 19BBY the Jedi was informed that a civil war had broken out on the planet of Tinnel IV, and that one of the factions in that war had defected to the Separatists. When the CIS deployed an army of battle droids to back up their faction, Martius was ordered to drive them off the planet. When he arrived however, he quickly learned that his task would be far more difficult than was originally thought, as the super tactical droid commander employed a strategy similar to that used at Nabat on the planet Ryloth, only considerably more refined. The droid commander on Tinnel IV occupied the Separatist faction's Capital, a major port city on the planet, and instead of grouping his proton cannons in a small area with a small amount of civilians near the weapons to deter a direct assault, it had proton cannons placed all throughout the port, using all of its denizens and infrastructure to deter an attack. The super tactical droid was also intelligent enough to bring far more cannons than were used at Ryloth.

After driving the Sepratist flotilla out of the system in a short skirmish, Martius' fleet orbited the planet, and after examining the situation Martius and his advisors decided to try and replicate Obi-Wan's strategy at Nabat under the cover of darkness, and after night fell on the port city Martius and a group of some 200 clone troopers set out in ten gunships towards the planet's surface in an attempt to land outside the port, sneak in, and disable the guns. Unfortunately, the super tactical droid expected the Jedi to do precisely that, and shortly after entering the planet's atmosphere the gunships were subjected to a massive barrage of AA fire. In a matter of seconds seven of the gunships were destroyed, and with no hope of making it to the surface intact, Martius ordered the remaining gunships to return to the fleet.

Upon returning to his flagship, Martius discussed the situation with his advisors and things weren't looking pretty. They'd received reports that the flotilla they drove out of the system had linked up with a Separatist fleet, and that that fleet seemed to be headed towards the Tinnel System. Martius' subordinates had already contacted the Republic to request reinforcements, but had been informed that the Republic fleet was overstretched as it was, and that they simply didn't have any reinforcements to send. Meanwhile, it appeared that much of the Separatist army in the port city was preparing to mobilize and begin its conquest of the rest of the planet. Martius knew that if the droids weren't defeated before their fleet arrived and established a blockade, the droids would likely be able to conquer the entire planet before the Republic could muster enough forces to attempt to drive them from the world, and if they managed to set up more of those proton cannons on the surface by then the Republic would almost certainly sustain extremely heavy losses in any such campaign; losses the Republic simply could not afford, and if they were unable to reclaim a Core World it could well cost the Republic the war. With little time to think, Martius weighed what few options he had and ultimately decided that the fate of the Republic and the lives of the people of an entire planet outweighed those of the people in a single city, and ordered an orbital bombardment of the port.

Within minutes, the proton cannons and the entire Separatist army was destroyed as the port city was reduced to ash. When the Separatist fleet learned of the bombardment, they decided it was simply not worth the resources to attempt another invasion, and were diverted to other systems. The battle for the Tinnel System was won in a single stroke, but at a heavy cost; over 50,000 civilians were killed in the bombardment, and the ripples through the Force as those countless souls cried out in terror only to be instantly silenced would haunt Martius for the rest of his life. When the dust settled and Martius returned to Coruscant, there was a great deal of debate over the his actions: some believed them to be a strategic necessity, and felt the citizens who betrayed the Republic deserved what they got; while others declared the bombardment to be barbaric and declared Martius to be the "Butcher of Tinnel IV." His strongest supporter turned out to be Supreme Chancellor Palpatine, who lauded Martius' actions, and even awarded him with the Chancellor's Service Medal, declaring him the "Hero of Tinnel IV" and "A great asset to the Republic." When Martius met Palpatine in person, the Chancellor seemed almost...happy to hear about the bombardment, but the Jedi was still too shaken at the time to make anything of it.

The Jedi Council turned out to be much less understanding than the Chancellor however, and though some defended his actions as necessary, the majority of the Council found his conduct at Tinnel IV to be unbecoming of a Jedi, and called Martius before the Council to stand trial for his actions. Still guilt-ridden over what he'd done, Martius said nothing in his own defense, and so was found guilty and sentenced to exile from the Order. Wanting to get away from the war and civilization in general, Martius decided to head for Hutt Space, and eventually wound up on Nar Shaddaa: the Smuggler's Moon.

Once on Nar Shaddaa, Martius began taking whatever odd jobs he could find to survive. Eventually he managed to save up enough money to buy a small apartment, and soon grew a beard, changed his name, and got himself a blaster and a new set of clothes, hoping to get away from his old life and start anew. That old life wasn't so quick to leave him behind however, as every time he closed his eyes he could picture the faces, and hear the dying screams of the innocent people he'd ordered killed on Tinnel IV. As he struggled with the morality of his decision, he became depressed, started to drink heavily, and his fragile emotional state began to loosen his bonds to the Force. When the Jedi Purge began, he unconsciously severed those bonds altogether as the shock from the deaths of nearly everyone in his old Order combined with his already fragile state may well have killed him.

It was... difficult for the former Jedi to adjust to life without use of the Force, and harder still to come to the realization that his Master's sacrifice, and everything he had done during the war, had been completely in vain as the Republic was destroyed from within and transformed into the vile Galactic Empire. Believing the loss of his Force sensitivity to be punishment for his actions, Martius spiraled deeper into depression and alcoholism, nearly committing suicide at one point, only to be interrupted by the screams of a youngling. When he investigated the source of the screams, he discovered a group of slavers had killed the child's family and were attempting to kidnap the child; an attempt which Martius quickly put a stop to. After taking the child to her surviving relatives, Martius learned that the slavers he killed had a bounty on their heads, and after collecting on them, took up a job as a bounty hunter to put a stop to the most villainous scum that plagued Nar Shaddaa.

As the years dragged on, Martius put an end to the crime sprees of no small number of vile criminals and earned himself a sizable amount of credits doing so. Eventually he also began to come to terms with his actions during the Clone Wars and losing his sensitivity to the Force, learning how to work and fight without it. Ultimately however, profiteering off the deaths of others, no matter how vile, began to further wear on the former Jedi's conscience, and he again began drinking heavily in a futile attempt to assuage his guilt. During one particularly unfortunate bender, Martius wound up in an argument which turned into a barroom brawl with a man who turned out to be one of Nar Shaddaa's most powerful crime lords.

Packing his belongs and using most of his savings to buy an old HWK-290 freighter, Martius quickly departed the planet just before the crime lord placed a sizable bounty on his head. After spending the next few weeks drifting aimlessly across a few different planets, the Martius' remaining credits began to dwindle, and not wanting to risk looking for bounties anywhere another hunter might try to collect the bounty on his own head, began to look for another way to make a living. Fortunately he made a most fortuitous discovery one night after kicking a panel in his ship in a drunken stupor and discovered it concealed a hidden area for cargo. Further searching discovered quite a few more of these areas, and it began to appear that the vessel's previous owner had used it to transport less than legitimate cargo.

With a smuggling apparatus already in place, Martius decided to try his hand at the profession, and after searching a few cantinas managed to find himself a job. It wasn't easy, and involved a dangerous flight through a canyon narrow enough that no one else cared to risk it to keep under Imperial radar, but Martius was getting sober and desperate enough to give it a shot. Fortunately his experience flying starfighters in the Clone Wars coupled with the maneuverability of his vessel proved sufficient to complete the task, and those in the know were impressed at his abilities enough to keep sending work his way.

Eventually word of his piloting skills made its way to the fledgling Rebel Alliance which, ever in need of pilots good enough to get supplies around Imperial blockades, contracted out to Martius. No fan of the Empire, Martius was only too happy to smuggle weapons and supplies to the Alliance (and making a tidy profit to boot). Over the next few years Martius developed a reputation as one of the Alliance's best contractors, running countless tons of cargo and even occasionally helping Rebel forces in battle. One such battle was the Battle of Endor, in which he downed over a dozen TIE fighters and Interceptors before the destruction of the second Death Star.

For his actions at Endor, he was offered a battlefield commission in the New Republic fleet, and believing they now really stood a chance at destroying the evil Empire, Martius accepted. For the next year, he led a fighter squadron through numerous engagements, and for the first time since the fall of the Order, he felt a sense of purpose in his life. Finally, at the Battle of Jakku, he led his squadron in destroying so many Imperial targets, that all squadron members were decorated after the battle. After the Galactic Concordance was signed, Martius would stay on with the New Republic for the next 10 years, helping to keep the newfound peace, and reaching the rank of Commander, but he began to feel an unshakable call to join the New Order.

Feeling they would not accept him without a connection to the Force however, Martius decided to resign his commission, and set out in his old smuggling ship to find a way to reconnect with the Force. Using the knowledge he'd learned in his studies of the history of the Order all those years ago, Martius made his way to ancient Temples, hallowed places, and planets strong in the Force all throughout the Galaxy; seeking knowledge and meditating hoping to feel some semblance of a connection with the Force again. Though there were many sites he could not access without the Force, he did manage to find a number of ancient artifacts which he brought with him; including an ancient suit of Jedi armor that fit him well, and a lightsaber that he was able to repair and used to practice his saber forms.

This would carry on for the next 4 years, until on a planet in Wild Space called Odessen he felt a pull towards a small clearing a short way from what appeared to be ruins of an ancient base; where after digging through a few layers of sediment, he located a Jedi holocron. Activating it, he learned it was one of the holocrons of none other than his ancestor, Satele Shan. He spent the next few weeks on Odessen, communicating with the recording of his ancestor, and studying and meditating on the holocron's teachings, until Satele presented him with the most difficult challenge: he had to learn to forgive himself for what he'd done on Tinnel IV if he was ever going to be able to move forward. For another week, Martius would struggle to open that most brutal wound of his past, but eventually with great difficulty, he confronted his actions and finally found a way to begin forgiving himself for them to move on with his life. As he did so, for the first time in decades, he felt his connection with the Force begin to return.

Though his connection was still very weak, he finally felt ready to try and join the New Order. Contacting an old friend of his in the New Republic familiar with the Jedi, he arranged a meeting with Luke Skywalker, and presented him with his ancestor's holocron and some of the artifacts he recovered, and told the Grand Master his story. When he was finished, Martius asked for a chance at a fresh start with the New Order, ready to begin again as a Padawan if necessary. Skywalker agreed, and Martius was permitted to go to the Praxeum to train with the newest batch of apprentices...

Appearance:
Height: 1.70 m
Weight: 45 kg

Lightsaber: Standard Hilt, Blue Crystal, Form III Soresu ( though, once we get our own lightsabers I'll give him something else )
Equipment: small amount of rations and credits

Personality: Due to his upbringing and previous condition he has trouble trusting and forming connections with others, oftentimes he exhibits anxiety when talking to other padawans, and outright scared when talking with masters in the academy, scared of being touched, stutters a lot.
Likes:
Dislikes:
Goals: He isn't truly sure what his goal is, or if he has one, he just doesn't want to get sold again
Fears: Getting sold back, the Hutts

Background:
Born on the moon of Nar Shadaa in Hutt space to Zabrak parents, he didn't stay on the Smuggler's Moon for long, as his poor parents were forced to sell their child. Kai was for the most part, raised by fellow slaves, before being able to work on his own at the age of about 7, at first he was mostly used to perform menial labor tasks, in which his rather limited force connection must have helped, he would soon know a life much different after some Hutt took a liking to him.

He was soon made a personal servant of one of the bloated slugs, and was thus relocated from Nar Shadaa to the world it overlooked, Nal Hutta. He was mistreated a lot more when he served the Hutts, previously when he performed basic physical tasks he was at least given a decent enough meal form time to time to be able to work, on Nal Hutta he never managed to eat much.

Eventually the hideous creature which Kai now served got bored of its newest servant, but thankfully enough it deemed Kai's services satisfactory enough to not kill Kai but sell him instead. Kai was sold around the various courts of Nal Hutta and outside of it, his masters were different from each other, some were sadistic, beating him for any mistake, some were greedy, giving their slaves only the scraps of food to fight over, some were decent enough if cold and detached, and some Kai tries to forget but they still haunt his nightmares.

Eventually after being sold and re-sold, back and forth through the Hutt Cartel it ended when he was transported by a group of Devaronian slavers to the next court to which he was sold, they came across a Jedi, that Jedi noticed Kai's connection to the Force, even if weak, it was still present. The Devaronians were coerced into selling the 15 year old easily, and at last, Kai was free, and after performing some tests, determined to be fit enough to undergo Jedi Training, and thus, he was brought to Yavin 4, to the new Jedi Academy,

Skills: Due to his meek appearance and quiet personality he'd actually probably be somewhat good at stealth. Slightly above lightsaber skills.
Weaknesses: Poor strength in the Force. Poor physical strength.

Name: Martius Shan
Age: 57
Gender: Male
Species: Human

Appearance: 6'2'', 175lbs

Lightsaber: Blue, vented lightsaber
Equipment: A-180 blaster pistol, comlink, datapad

Personality: Martius' experiences have left him slow to trust, and the countless friends he's lost over the years have made him somewhat cold and hesitant to befriend others for fear that he may lose them too. That said, those who get to know Martius well enough will find him a loyal compatriot and honorable man who always strives to do the right thing and atone for the sins of his past.
Likes: The Light Side, competence, honor, history
Dislikes: The Dark Side, laziness, belligerence
Goals: Help the New Jedi Order to grow and avoid the mistakes of the past, to move beyond and atone for his own past
Fears: Failing the New Jedi, the Dark Side

Background:

Born into a family with a long history of a strong connection to the Force going back countless generations, it was no surprise when Martius was discovered to be Force Sensitive. He was brought to the Jedi Temple on Coruscant while still an infant, and was raised by the Order. Like many younglings he trained under Master Yoda for much of his youth, until completing his Initiate Trials at the age of 10 and becoming a Padawan. A natural with a lightsaber, he caught the eye of the Echani Jedi Master Meetra Fenni, who would go on to select him as her apprentice. Eager to impress his new Master, Martius was extremely diligent in his training with Master Fenni, and learned a great deal in a short amount of time. Meetra was impressed enough by Martius' performance that she even began to train him in the Echani martial arts in addition to his Jedi studies.

After learning the basics of the lightsaber forms, Martius decided to focus his studies on Form V Djem So, which he studied with his master and further supplemented with the Echani techniques she taught him, and Form III Soresu, which he learned from the Jedi Battlemaster Cin Drallig alongside a number of other Padawans. When not studying on Coruscant, Martius accompanied his Master on a variety of adventures (and the occasional misadventure) ranging from mediating negotiations to battling pirates in the Outer Rim. While studying for his Trials he also became very interested in Galactic History, particularly when he learned that an ancestor of his named Satele had once been none other than the Grand Master of the Jedi Order. History continued to be a major point of interest for him, even after successfully completing his Trials and becoming a Jedi Knight, to the point that he even once considered becoming a full-fledged Jedi Historian.

Martius still stuck with his Master for a few months after attaining Knighthood, feeling there was still much he could learn from her, and the two got in a number of scuffles with the Trade Federation before the Clone Wars. Unfortunately however, those small fights could not prepare them for the scale of combat they would face on the planet of Geonosis. Though Martius would survive the battle, thanks in large part to ARC Commander Maverick, the clone who would later become his XO, his Master was not so fortunate. In the wake of Meetra's death, Martius began devoting every waking moment to honoring her memory and sacrifice by doing everything in his power to preserve the Republic and the Jedi Order by winning the war they were now faced with, at any cost.

Thanks in large part to his studies of military history, Martius proved to be an exceptional strategist, and unlike most Jedi, tended to focus on the long term benefits and detriments of his actions, rather than their immediate consequences. This led to Martius developing a sort of "Needs of the many outweighs the needs of the few" mentality, and that combined with his devotion for the Republic's cause would serve him well over the next three years as he led the 53rd Legion in battles all over the Galaxy: from the crystalline skyscrapers of Christophsis, to the shadow world of Umbara, the dense jungles of Felucia, and most everything in between. Martius, Maverick, and the 53rd all fought valiantly in each engagement they found themselves thrust into, and the Jedi General received numerous commendations for his actions in the war, including the Cross of Glory for tireless fighting in liberating the planet of Garos IV despite having been severely injured by Separatist artillery.

This mentality would eventually come to backfire on Martius however, when in 19BBY the Jedi was informed that a civil war had broken out on the planet of Tinnel IV, and that one of the factions in that war had defected to the Separatists. When the CIS deployed an army of battle droids to back up their faction, Martius was ordered to drive them off the planet. When he arrived however, he quickly learned that his task would be far more difficult than was originally thought, as the super tactical droid commander employed a strategy similar to that used at Nabat on the planet Ryloth, only considerably more refined. The droid commander on Tinnel IV occupied the Separatist faction's Capital, a major port city on the planet, and instead of grouping his proton cannons in a small area with a small amount of civilians near the weapons to deter a direct assault, it had proton cannons placed all throughout the port, using all of its denizens and infrastructure to deter an attack. The super tactical droid was also intelligent enough to bring far more cannons than were used at Ryloth.

After driving the Sepratist flotilla out of the system in a short skirmish, Martius' fleet orbited the planet, and after examining the situation Martius and his advisors decided to try and replicate Obi-Wan's strategy at Nabat under the cover of darkness, and after night fell on the port city Martius and a group of some 200 clone troopers set out in ten gunships towards the planet's surface in an attempt to land outside the port, sneak in, and disable the guns. Unfortunately, the super tactical droid expected the Jedi to do precisely that, and shortly after entering the planet's atmosphere the gunships were subjected to a massive barrage of AA fire. In a matter of seconds seven of the gunships were destroyed, and with no hope of making it to the surface intact, Martius ordered the remaining gunships to return to the fleet.

Upon returning to his flagship, Martius discussed the situation with his advisors and things weren't looking pretty. They'd received reports that the flotilla they drove out of the system had linked up with a Separatist fleet, and that that fleet seemed to be headed towards the Tinnel System. Martius' subordinates had already contacted the Republic to request reinforcements, but had been informed that the Republic fleet was overstretched as it was, and that they simply didn't have any reinforcements to send. Meanwhile, it appeared that much of the Separatist army in the port city was preparing to mobilize and begin its conquest of the rest of the planet. Martius knew that if the droids weren't defeated before their fleet arrived and established a blockade, the droids would likely be able to conquer the entire planet before the Republic could muster enough forces to attempt to drive them from the world, and if they managed to set up more of those proton cannons on the surface by then the Republic would almost certainly sustain extremely heavy losses in any such campaign; losses the Republic simply could not afford, and if they were unable to reclaim a Core World it could well cost the Republic the war. With little time to think, Martius weighed what few options he had and ultimately decided that the fate of the Republic and the lives of the people of an entire planet outweighed those of the people in a single city, and ordered an orbital bombardment of the port.

Within minutes, the proton cannons and the entire Separatist army was destroyed as the port city was reduced to ash. When the Separatist fleet learned of the bombardment, they decided it was simply not worth the resources to attempt another invasion, and were diverted to other systems. The battle for the Tinnel System was won in a single stroke, but at a heavy cost; over 50,000 civilians were killed in the bombardment, and the ripples through the Force as those countless souls cried out in terror only to be instantly silenced would haunt Martius for the rest of his life. When the dust settled and Martius returned to Coruscant, there was a great deal of debate over the his actions: some believed them to be a strategic necessity, and felt the citizens who betrayed the Republic deserved what they got; while others declared the bombardment to be barbaric and declared Martius to be the "Butcher of Tinnel IV." His strongest supporter turned out to be Supreme Chancellor Palpatine, who lauded Martius' actions, and even awarded him with the Chancellor's Service Medal, declaring him the "Hero of Tinnel IV" and "A great asset to the Republic." When Martius met Palpatine in person, the Chancellor seemed almost...happy to hear about the bombardment, but the Jedi was still too shaken at the time to make anything of it.

The Jedi Council turned out to be much less understanding than the Chancellor however, and though some defended his actions as necessary, the majority of the Council found his conduct at Tinnel IV to be unbecoming of a Jedi, and called Martius before the Council to stand trial for his actions. Still guilt-ridden over what he'd done, Martius said nothing in his own defense, and so was found guilty and sentenced to exile from the Order. Wanting to get away from the war and civilization in general, Martius decided to head for Hutt Space, and eventually wound up on Nar Shaddaa: the Smuggler's Moon.

Once on Nar Shaddaa, Martius began taking whatever odd jobs he could find to survive. Eventually he managed to save up enough money to buy a small apartment, and soon grew a beard, changed his name, and got himself a blaster and a new set of clothes, hoping to get away from his old life and start anew. That old life wasn't so quick to leave him behind however, as every time he closed his eyes he could picture the faces, and hear the dying screams of the innocent people he'd ordered killed on Tinnel IV. As he struggled with the morality of his decision, he became depressed, started to drink heavily, and his fragile emotional state began to loosen his bonds to the Force. When the Jedi Purge began, he unconsciously severed those bonds altogether as the shock from the deaths of nearly everyone in his old Order combined with his already fragile state may well have killed him.

It was... difficult for the former Jedi to adjust to life without use of the Force, and harder still to come to the realization that his Master's sacrifice, and everything he had done during the war, had been completely in vain as the Republic was destroyed from within and transformed into the vile Galactic Empire. Believing the loss of his Force sensitivity to be punishment for his actions, Martius spiraled deeper into depression and alcoholism, nearly committing suicide at one point, only to be interrupted by the screams of a youngling. When he investigated the source of the screams, he discovered a group of slavers had killed the child's family and were attempting to kidnap the child; an attempt which Martius quickly put a stop to. After taking the child to her surviving relatives, Martius learned that the slavers he killed had a bounty on their heads, and after collecting on them, took up a job as a bounty hunter to put a stop to the most villainous scum that plagued Nar Shaddaa.

As the years dragged on, Martius put an end to the crime sprees of no small number of vile criminals and earned himself a sizable amount of credits doing so. Eventually he also began to come to terms with his actions during the Clone Wars and losing his sensitivity to the Force, learning how to work and fight without it. Ultimately however, profiteering off the deaths of others, no matter how vile, began to further wear on the former Jedi's conscience, and he again began drinking heavily in a futile attempt to assuage his guilt. During one particularly unfortunate bender, Martius wound up in an argument which turned into a barroom brawl with a man who turned out to be one of Nar Shaddaa's most powerful crime lords.

Packing his belongs and using most of his savings to buy an old HWK-290 freighter, Martius quickly departed the planet just before the crime lord placed a sizable bounty on his head. After spending the next few weeks drifting aimlessly across a few different planets, the Martius' remaining credits began to dwindle, and not wanting to risk looking for bounties anywhere another hunter might try to collect the bounty on his own head, began to look for another way to make a living. Fortunately he made a most fortuitous discovery one night after kicking a panel in his ship in a drunken stupor and discovered it concealed a hidden area for cargo. Further searching discovered quite a few more of these areas, and it began to appear that the vessel's previous owner had used it to transport less than legitimate cargo.

Fortunately his experience flying starfighters in the Clone Wars coupled with the maneuverability of his vessel proved sufficient to complete the task, and those in the know were impressed at his abilities enough to keep sending work his way.

Eventually word of his piloting skills made its way to the fledgling Rebel Alliance which, ever in need of pilots good enough to get supplies around Imperial blockades, contracted out to Martius. No fan of the Empire, Martius was only too happy to smuggle weapons and supplies to the Alliance (and making a tidy profit to boot). Over the next few years Martius developed a reputation as one of the Alliance's best contractors, running countless tons of cargo and even occasionally helping Rebel forces in battle.

The primary issue now is that outside of Sidious and Vader, there were no actual sith lords. The closest thing to that were Inquisitors but they never really started families. Punctuation also still needs work, notably in leaving a space after commas and periods.

Appearance: 5’10 (178 cm), 160 lbs (73 kg)

Lightsaber: Standard single blade, Blue

Equipment: -Blurrg blaster pistol

Personality: Weary of the odd new world he finds himself in, but eager to learn (and please).
Likes: Avoiding hard work, making friends out of enemies.
Dislikes: Lone wolves, hardasses, arachnoids.
Goals: Become a proper protector of democracy.
Fears: A resurgence of the Empire.

Background: Normalcy was the defining trait of Reznon’s life. His mother was a tutor, his father a security guard, and perhaps the only odd part of his upbringing on Coruscant was his father, a veteran of the Galactic Civil War, teaching him how to use a blaster pistol not long after he could walk, his father always making the claim of “just in case”. Much like every other aspect of his life, he didn’t pay as much attention as he should’ve.

When the New Jedi Order came knocking, Reznon’s father was not happy. He’d fought so the next generation wouldn’t have to, and he certainly didn’t want his son to be one of the ones who got shot at most on the battlefield, a Jedi. In the end though, those who sought Reznon would not be denied, and so he was partially torn, partially dragged, partially excited to enter, into a whole new life, one far different from the gentle mediocrity of the past.

Skills: Competent with a blaster pistol, has basic social skills.
Weaknesses: Nothing in particular, just a general lack of knowledge of life outside Coruscant.
