				<strong>Player's name:</strong> <br>NikitaFirestar<br><br><strong>Character Name:</strong><br>Isulura Adentia<br><br><strong>Character Age:</strong> <br>26<br><br><strong>Character Alignment:</strong> <br>Light<br><br><strong>Character's status/position in the temple:</strong> <br>Jedi Knight/ Instructor at the Jedi Temple<br><br><strong>Character's Force powers/ Skills:</strong><br>-Double wielding light sabers (Master)<br>-Telepath (Master)<br>-Force Lightning (Master) ((Note: This abiilty is rarely used, though Isulura is one of the few to have mastered the skill. It is also hardly common knowledge among the students that she has this ability.))<br>-Dancing/musical instruments (Master)<br>-Unarmed combat (Master)<br>-Force Sense/Empathy (Adept)<br>-Force Leap/Jump (Adept)<br>-Force Push/Pull (Adept)((Also allows her to use Saber Throw))<br>-Jedi Mind Trick (Adept)<br>-Piloting (Adept)<br>-Force Stealth (Learning)<br>-Force Barrier (Learning)<br>-Cure/Heal (Learning)<br>-Battle Meditation (Learning)<br><br><strong>Description:</strong> <br>Standing a beautiful, slender and well curved 5'9'', with the body of a dancer, Isulura's soft flesh is tinted a light blue color. Her lekku (head tails) are kept bound with leather strips behind her body, almost as a human would would braid her hair. For day to day training, she dresses casually, and simply enough, much of her slender, muscular form seen in her leather bodlice-like top and leather pants. As with most Twi'lek females, Isulura wears a headdress, hers made of leather like most of her clothes, with coverings about her ears. When out on a mission, Isulura will don the traditional Jedi cloak, unless the mission calls for something more appropriate to the situation.<br><br><strong>Background:</strong><br>&nbsp;Few things are as graceful as a female Twi'llek in motion. This beautiful image has forever doomed generations of young Twi'leks into servitude, as the wealthy and corrupt have taken to brandishing Twi'leks as badges of prestige. One such beauty was born and raised upon her home planet, Ryloth, and noticed to be different from birth. Sold to a rich politician at a young age, Isulura traveled about on her Masters ship for years. One day, however, a Jedi came to speak with her Master. He felt an exceptionally strong presence of the force, and was surprised to find Isulura was the source. Unable to stand seeing her in captivity, with no real knowledge of her gifts, and no proper training, the Jedi Attempted to buy her from her Master. When the man refused, not willing to part with one of his most prized possessions, the Jedi came and rescued Isulura in the middle of the night, stealing her away from her life of servitude and taking her as his padewan. Isulura learned quickly, once the shock of her escape and potential power wore off, becoming quite well known for her skills with the light sabers, as well as many other fine points in the art of using the Force. Thanks to her years spent training as a dancer, and years more spent dancing, fighting with the light sabers became second nature to Isulura, her movements a beautiful, yet deadly dance. While her past and indeed her very bloodline make her predisposed to subservience, she has grown into quite an independent woman, a Jedi Knight and teacher at the Jedi Temple. Kind and patient, she seems the very embodiment of what the young apprentices should be. Having known great fear and anger in her life, she learned over her years with her Master how to control such things. Of course, for a person born and raised in adversity, it is a daily struggle to control one’s emotions, but Isulura meets that struggle head on, living out her days at the temple, teaching the apprentices and padewans, and going on the occasional mission. She has been on several undercover missions, using her previous training as a slave and dancer, as well as the charms she was born with, to succeed. Even now, at the rank of Jedi Knight, Isulura continues to learn all that she can, seeking to one day become a Jedi Master.<br><br><strong>Personality:</strong><br>While no Jedi lets themselves be ruled by emotion, neither do they completely supress them all. Isulura is no exception. Despite her hard past, she has a wonderful sense of humor, and is quick to laugh. She is very kind, and will not hesitate to help someone in need. While she was raised in a society that lives on slavery, and endorses it, Isulura does not abide by those standards and will free a slave if given the chance. It is very rare to see Isuluar show any extreme emotions, her control over her anger and fear fantastically strong. Isulura often dances as a way to not only keep her body in shape, but to calm herself and meditate.<br><br><strong>Weaknesses:</strong><br>Slaves: She will do anything she can to free and help slaves.<br>Her Master: Isulura has always had more than the usual connection and feelings of admiration for her Master, though she always keeps them hidden deep away from every. Especially her Master, though it is hard with their telepathic link.<br><br><strong>Limits:</strong> Site limits, anything else just ask!

				Title: <strong>Rules</strong><br>
				Post by: <strong>NikitaFirestar</strong> on <strong>05-03-2006, 11:13:29</strong>
			</dt>
			<dd class="postbody">
				As always, there have to be rules. For now, these are just the basics, until I can get with Vandren on others, or corrections on these. Thanks for being patient!<br><br><strong>1.)</strong> There will be no Luke's, Anakins, or any original characters from the movies or books. There can be slightly adapted characters, but they must be approved by myself or Vandren before use, just like all the other characters, and must be on the approved species list. However, if you find a species you'd like to play, feel free to ask!<br><br><strong>2.)</strong> No one in the game is all-powerful. It is given that the teachers, such as myself and Vandren, will be more powerful than the students. Just remember, you're still learning! Each character that is a student of some sort may have three skills they are adept at, meaning that they can use them pretty decently, and they will have the opportunity to learn more as they go along.<br><br><strong>3.)</strong> If there is an issue OOC, take it OOC. Do not let it become an IC issue, or we'll all be having issues.<br><br><strong>4.)</strong> While I know the types of games going on around us, try and remember you are all, or most of you are, in training to be Jedi. "Loves not, does the Jedi." In other words, don't be obvious about it! We all know that Jedi are still human (in a manner of speaking), and we all know that if Jedi really didn't love, then Luke and Leia would never have been born, so its not completely out of the realm of the possible.<br><br><strong>5.)</strong> It is not required to be an apprentice or padewan to be at the temple. After all, where would we be without the people like Hans Solo?<br><br><strong>6.)</strong> Feel free to make your own rooms for your characters quarters. Just don't go too over board, as you are still in school. *Smiles*<br><br><strong>7.)</strong> Please ask before doing something drastic. After all, we want to be fair, and we want everyone to have fun!<br><br><strong>8.)</strong> There are such things as force bonds, but its not going to be simply because the two people spend a lot of time together. It either has to be because there's been a concious attempt at it with at least one or both adept or more in Telepathy, or because there's some sort of traumatic experience. For example, Isulura and Torven have that bond, because he rescued her from Slavery, and taught her the ways of the force.

				<strong>Torven Kar</strong><br>Player's name: Vandren<br>Age: 52 (looks mid-30s)<br>Race: Human, Deneban<br>Gender: Male<br>Alignment: Light side<br>Status/Position in the temple: Jedi Knight / Guardian / Instructor<br>Force Powers/ Skills: <br>- Shii-Cho, Makashi, Shien/Djem-So, Niman (Adept in all)<br>- Soresu, Jar’Kai (Master, Favours Jar’Kai)<br>- Unarmed Combat (Master)<br>- Melee Weapons (Adept)<br>- Pilot (Learning)<br>- Cook (Adept)<br>- Battle Meditation (Master)<br>- Burst of Speed (Master)<br>- Energy Resistance (Adept)<br>- Enhance Ability (Adept)<br>- Force Sense (Adept)<br>- Force Push/Pull, Saber Throw (Adept)<br>- Telekinesis (Adept)<br>- Battlemind (Learning)<br>- Empathy (Learning)<br>- Persuasion (Learning)<br><br>Description: Torven is the archetypal new Jedi.&nbsp; He is about 5’11” with a wiry build full of long, slim muscles.&nbsp; While he looks fairly young, his blue eyes hold a wealth of experience beyond his appearance.&nbsp; Since joining the Jedi, Torven has grown out his hair so that it now hangs to his shoulders in a neat trimmed cut.&nbsp; Usually he wears it in a short braid or ponytail.&nbsp; He still remains clean shaven, however.&nbsp; That part of his early life he hasn’t put behind him.&nbsp; As a borderline traditionalist, Torven mixes current Jedi fashion, wearing a jumpsuit under his outer, brown, Jedi robe (he doesn’t wear the inner off-white one).&nbsp; His belt always holds his twin blue lightsabers and he is said to have several other devices concealed in the folds of his outer robe, a holdover from his youth.<br><br>Background: Born on Deneba, Torven didn’t live there particularly long.&nbsp; He was placed in indentured servitude at eight, in order for his impoverished family to eat.&nbsp; The league that took his service contract happened to be a collection of gladiatorial promoters.&nbsp; They put Torven to service almost immediately, learning various martial forms - armed and unarmed.&nbsp; He proved to have an aptitude for this sort of learning and life.&nbsp; His first professional bout came seven years later.&nbsp; By eighteen, he’d won a particular reputation in the underground arena circuit.&nbsp; And he’d made his temporary owners a considerable amount of money.&nbsp; This situation was working out reasonably well until thirty-one years ago, when one of Torven’s bouts was witnessed by a Jedi Investigator.&nbsp; The Jedi noticed that Torven was apparently Force Sensitive and already seemed to have knowledge of a few powers (burst of speed and a variant of Makashi that he’d developed with vibroswords).&nbsp; Soon the Jedi sprung Torven from his servitude, which was up in a few months anyway.&nbsp; He offered the young man skills, ability, and a life he’d only imagined as a very young child.&nbsp; Not only that but he offered, eventually, a chance to teach his skills to others.&nbsp; Torven worked with that master for a few years as a padawan until he was eventually raised to full Jedi status.&nbsp; Because of his minor problems with controlling his emotions, Torven has yet to rise to master standing, nor is it likely that he ever will.&nbsp; However, he is content.&nbsp; Over the last two decades and more, he has studied with a holocron and helped to reconstruct several lightsaber styles that were believed to have been lost in the early days of the Empire.&nbsp; Not only that, but he’s found that he enjoys teaching the more combative Jedi arts to apprentices.&nbsp; One of his last missions led him to discovering and freeing the Twi’lek slavegirl who became his apprentice and eventual colleague at the Temple, Isulura.&nbsp; The two have, since then, found that they have a strong bond.&nbsp; While Torven has no skill in telepathy, he finds that he is able to contact her from time to time, usually only when one or the other is in great need.&nbsp; And she seems to have an easier time contacting him with the power.<br><br>Personality: Torven is very driven and militant in his outlook.&nbsp; He is a man of action, rather than one of introspection and debate.&nbsp; This combination is the biggest reason he is not likely to advance to master rank.&nbsp; It is also the reason he has mostly learned the more physical Force powers.&nbsp; While he enjoyed the few years that he traveled around the Republic with his master, he has also enjoyed life at the Temple.&nbsp; Still, he sometimes misses being sent out on missions with a clear objective in mind.&nbsp; Since it has been several years since his last field assignment, Torven doubts that he’ll ever be sent out on another one unless a war breaks out.<br><br>Weaknesses: <br>Militant - normally not a weakness, per se, but among the Jedi . . .<br>Passions - sometimes lets his emotions get the best of him, though he’s managed to hide this from the other masters<br><br>Limits: Site Rules, Male-Male

				As a student, Inoru’s room is rather small.&nbsp; Because of it’s location, he is effectively required to use a communal shower area, not that this is a problem.&nbsp; Perhaps because of its small size, the 6’ x 9’ room is crowded with things.&nbsp; Supposedly there is a bed and desk, but finding them is difficult.&nbsp; The remains of an astromech droid sit in one corner, by the door (Inoru is working on repairing and improving it).&nbsp; Other electrical and photonic odds and ends litter the available flat space in the room.&nbsp; Along with these pieces parts are various tools and pieces of handheld diagnostic equipment.&nbsp; The room certainly looks lived in, but more as a workshop than a living space.

His apparent beauty seeming quite deluded, yet there is elegance in his overall attire, long streaky dark hair cascades wildly over brute shoulders, to elbow length, covering chocolate-tanned flesh. Tattooed onto his face, his tribes markings, a broad red cross bridging at his nose and directing in all 4 directions, a black line crossing through the southern/northern line. Emerald orbs extending a cold, merciless intent, staring down all who dare look upon them. Clothed in protruding hooded black robes, reaching just below the knee and black leather boots; the sort issued only to military personnel. Tight leather pants grip his buttocks and thighs, held together by a corded belt. His upper abdomen adorned in a survival vest of sorts, lined with various apparel and equipment. <br>&nbsp; <br>Background:<br>Being of Kiffar blood, Malefic was born of a naturally aggressive nature, though, having been brought up by a rivalled tribe only spurred this aggressiveness further. Originally he was found, abandoned, by a tribe official, whom enslaved Malefic and trained him to become a chore-boy aboard a kiffar cargo-ship. Malefic’s young life became very gloomy; he suffered day-in and day-out, giving into hate, pain, and at times even thought about suicide. These days went on for what seemed like years, and they were years, until however the day when his cargo ship docked in correscent. He had been ordered to stand by and guard the ship, not that it needed guarding of course, what with the craft being worth no less than dirt. However, this was the case, and he would have to find something to occupy his attention until the men returned, which probably wouldn’t be for another 3-4 hours, such is the life of a chore-boy. Some few hours past, and Malefic was getting frustrated, some drunken pilots had waltzed into the docking-bay and had made their way over to the ship, booting the side of its hull with their toecaps as they laughed and sniggered at its expense, “What a useless piece of crap!” one of the pilots regarded, the other two agreeing as all three of them cackled. Malefic slipped round the side of the ship, trying to avoid confrontation, but in the process manages to trip over a littered can, catching the attention of the pilots who immediately made their way over to him. “Oi, Boy! This ur ship!?” one of the pilots snapped, beating the side of the craft again with his elbow. Malefic grunted, having no desire to socialise with such men, and having even less desire to take another beating today, especially since today was his 7th birthday. However, bad luck seemingly followed him wherever he went, as one of the men reached out and grabbed him by the scruff of his neck, “He sure is a puny little rat, ain’t he?” the drunk snapped. “Let me go!” Malefic cried, kicking the man in the throat, blood spilling out from the mans mouth, as he drops Malefic and coughs violently, the other two men corner Malefic and begin beating him to a pulp. A passing jedi and his padawan intercept the beatings, to find Malefic, standing, his arms pulsating with intensity rarely seen in a child of such an age, after taking such a brutal beating he was still able to maintain consciousness, proving mind over matter. A trait found commonly in Jedi-hopefuls … Need I say more of the proceedings to follow?<br><br>Personality:<br>True to his nature, Malefic resembles a hardheaded soldier, he hates pranksters and only answers to direct orders, otherwise chatter is limited. He acts superior to his peers, however, proves to show lenience and even courtesy at times. Deep down, he even manages to spare feelings for friends, family (what has become of his family, tutors, teachers, peers etc) and various other affairs, though … he is always troubled by an apparent fear, of what might become of him, if he were to “slip up”, hence his dependence from the rest of his fellow Jedi.<br><br>Weaknesses:<br>His past: Malefic endures flashbacks from his past; he must meditate daily to control his emotions, else risk falling to the darkside.<br>Younglings: Malefic will do everything in his power to protect youngling slaves, especially kiffar younglings, who act as a double edged sword, reminding him of his past and leading him down the path of hatred. <br>&nbsp;<br>Limits: Site limits, anything else just ask!<br>

				Player's name: NikitaFirestar<br>Character Name: Alentia<br>Character Race: Human<br>Character Sex: Female<br>Character Age: 20<br>Character Alignment: Light<br>Character's status/position in the temple: Servant/attendant<br>Character's Force powers/ Skills: No Force skills that she is aware of, though through natural born power and her time spent with the Jedi, she's suprisingly in tune with the Force. She can clean and mend nearly anything, though she has a love of singing, dancing, and playing music. She is also quite fond of the gardens that she cares for.<br>Description: Just barely over five feet tall, Alentia is far from an imposing figure. Long, thick black hair falls nearly to her knees, though usually kept up in some manner, accenting her deeply tanned flesh and piercing blue eyes. Her body isn't overly thin, nor overly fat. She seems to have the curves meant to fit a mans hands.<br>Background: Not much is known about Alentia's past before she was brought to the temple as a child. She was raised a slave on a distant planet, but was rescued by a roaming Jedi Master. The Jedi Master brought her to the temple to live, and she has stayed there, serving the temple and the Jedi.<br>Personality: Very kind to everyone, and very grateful to all Jedi, whom she sees as the heros of the universe. She's always eager to help, and is quite knowledgable about the temple, as its been her home for many, many years.<br>Weaknesses: Kindness, which is often taken advantage of. She is also slightly clumsy from time to time.<br>Limits: Site limits. Anything else, just ask!<br>

				<strong>Alest Xerit</strong> (Vandren)<br>Age: 42 (looks early 30s)<br>Race: Human<br>Gender: Male<br>Alignment: Dark<br>Status/Position in the temple: Master, Councilmember<br>Force Powers/ Skills:<br>- Shii-Cho, Makashi, Soresu, Ataru (Adept)<br>- Knife/Dagger (Adept)<br>- Telekinesis (Master)<br>- Force Push/Pull (Adept)<br>- Force Leap/Jump (Adept)<br>- Cloak (Master)<br>- Energy Resistance (Master)<br>- Mind Trick (Master)<br>- Force Stealth (Master)<br>- Hibernation Trance (Adept)<br>- Force Grip (Learning)<br>- Force Throw (Learning)<br>- Mind Control (Learning)<br>- Politics (Master)<br>- Administration (Adept)<br>- Research (Master)<br>- Linguistics (Learning)<br><br>Description: At a glance, no one would think anything odd about Alest.&nbsp; He looks like a normal Human Jedi, about 5’10” with a good build.&nbsp; He wears his straight blonde hair long and loose to his waist.&nbsp; Alest is also unshaven with a well trimmed beard.&nbsp; While he is not known for his combative ability, rather for his diplomatic/political acumen, he moves with a grace characteristic of the Jedi.&nbsp; He always wears the traditional robes, not because he is a traditionalist but because it is easier to hide things in them.&nbsp; He carries a single green lightsaber and conceals a cortosis vibrodagger in his sleeve.<br><br>Background: Alest was born and raised in the outer systems on the fringe of the Empire.&nbsp; As such, his family was never really affected by the Empire or the Rebellion.&nbsp; He grew up in a starport and began running with local gangs for protection when he was very young.&nbsp; By thirteen, due in part to his latent Jedi potential, he was running two gangs, one of thieves and con-men, the other of thugs.&nbsp; He was discovered a few years later and taken to Yavin 4.&nbsp; There Alest learned everything he could.&nbsp; He focused on developing more and more power and only took the physical aspects of training as a necessary evil.&nbsp; Nine years ago, Alest was made a master, officially.&nbsp; Two years later, he became part of the Council.&nbsp; A few months ago, due to his research, interests, and frustration with he New Order, Alest began his descent to the Dark Side.&nbsp; He completed this process on a recent mission for the Council, but is still teaching himself Dark Force powers.&nbsp; He has been quietly working to destroy the Order since then.<br><br>Personality: In public, Alest is a clam and collected master of the Order.&nbsp; He controls his outward emotions well and manages to even shield his mind to a great extent through various techniques.&nbsp; In private, however, he is completely different.&nbsp; Since he lives outside the temple, Alest lets his control slip there.&nbsp; Even so, he is careful and only studies his dark powers circumspectly.&nbsp; So far, he doesn’t think the Council suspects his private self-instruction.<br><br>Weaknesses:<br>Secret - pursuing dark knowledge; already turned<br>Watched - while he’s on the Council, he is closely watched and suspected, lately.<br>Tech Inept - Alest is absolutely inept and hopeless when it comes to technology.<br><br>Limits: Site Rules, Male-Male<br><br><strong>Kouress Olani, Senator</strong> (Vandren)<br>Age: Mid-30s<br>Race: Mirialan<br>Gender: Female<br>Alignment: Grey to Dark<br>Status/Position in the temple: None (Senator)<br>Force Powers/ Skills:<br>- Blaster (Master)<br>- Piloting (Adept)<br>- Tracking (Adept)<br>- Diplomacy (Adept)<br>- Politics (Adept)<br>- Stealth (Learning)<br><br>Description: The Senator is a fairly typical Mirialan in appearance.&nbsp; She has the greenish toned complexion, vivid blue eyes, and chin tattoos denoting her family.&nbsp; Her figure is difficult to discern because of the voluminous clothes of state that she wears in her role as a senator.&nbsp; However, given her background, one could assume that she is in good shape.&nbsp; Her hair is likewise covered, but is cut fairly short (only noticeable by her closest attendants when she removes her headdress).&nbsp; Unbeknownst to most, she carries a small vibrodagger and holdout blaster concealed in the folds of her clothing, one of the manifestations of her paranoia.<br><br>Background: Thirty some years ago on a little backwater planet on the edge of the newly reformed Republic, Kouress Olani was born to a security officer and her pilot husband.&nbsp; She was raised in a reasonably middle-class household, though one whose fortunes had peaked during the latter days of the Empire and were starting to fall.&nbsp; As confidence in the local security forces dropped, her mother’s job became less and less stable.&nbsp; Eventually, she was replaced by a group of privately funded mercenaries, bodyguards, and bounty hunters.&nbsp; Kouress, seeing that this was where the money really was, left home and tagged along after one of the hunters when she was sixteen.&nbsp; By her twenty-third birthday, she had a bit of a reputation in the sector and contacts among the Hutts and other crime lords.&nbsp; She retains these contacts through the present day.&nbsp; A few years later, her homeworld was approached about joining the New Republic.&nbsp; The populace agreed, and she was asked to run for one of their Senate positions.&nbsp; A few months later, Kouress won the election and moved to Coruscant.&nbsp; That was nine years ago.&nbsp; Ever since then, she has been a minor player in the Senate.&nbsp; However, she is known for being vocally anti-Jedi.&nbsp; Typically she claims that the Jedi failed to protect the Old Republic and asks how they can be expected to succeed now where they’ve failed before.&nbsp; She also constantly asks why their failure is rewarded by the construction of the new temple.&nbsp; Finally, she has often claimed that the Order is still corrupt and is made up of mere guardians of an old, out-dated, and practically forgotten religion.&nbsp; Once she even claimed that the Jedi Purge was a hoax, meant to evoke sympathy for the failed Jedi Order.<br><br>Personality: Kouress is a rather paranoid individual, with some reason.&nbsp; She has several secrets and many enemies, both past and present.&nbsp; Her open animosity toward the Jedi, and secret anti-Republic stance, is partial justification for her paranoia.&nbsp; She sees nothing wrong with using her contacts and connections (gathered during her days as a bounty hunter) to her political advantage.&nbsp; She also sees no reason not to use blackmail to get what she wants.<br><br>Weaknesses:<br>Paranoia - Due to her position and views, Kouress has become somewhat justifiably paranoid.&nbsp; This could be used against her.<br>Secret Desire - Secretly she desires the dissolution of the Republic and reinstatement of the Empire.<br>Background - At some point in time, her background could catch up with her.<br><br>Limits: Site Rules, Males (for now, will likely change in the future)<br><br>Other Notes: Always travels with at least two guards, sometimes more, of various species and both sexes.<br><br><strong>Inoru D’aan</strong> (Free)<br>Player's name: Vandren<br>Age: 19<br>Race: Anomid<br>Gender: Male<br>Alignment: Middle<br>Status/Position in the temple: Student/Padawan<br>Force Powers/ Skills:<br>- Technologically Gifted (Adept, as most Anomids; could probably have built a lightsaber 14 years ago)<br>- Linguist (Adept)<br>- Telekinesis (Learning)<br><br>Description: As one would not expect from an Anomid, Inoru is bald but has the large ears of his people.&nbsp; He also has blank pupilless eyes and the ever present Anomid breather/speaker.&nbsp; He is about 5’7” with a very slender build.&nbsp; In fact, there is practically no muscle definition to his body.&nbsp; As with many of the young padawans, he bucks the old fashion conventions and typically wears a technician’s jumpsuit.&nbsp; This outfit is always bulging with devices and tools for various mechanical and engineering problems.&nbsp; Seeing as he has only been at the Academy for a few months, Inoru has yet to be allowed to make his own ‘saber.<br><br>Background: Inoru was born and raised on Coruscant.&nbsp; Being raised at the center of the Republic has had an interesting effect on his life.&nbsp; For example, he has an innate gift for languages, which flourished on this world.&nbsp; By the time he turned twelve, Inoru was already fluent in seven languages.&nbsp; As he entered the Academy, he had an even dozen under his belt.&nbsp; He spent most of his early life following his parents around their shop.&nbsp; Both repaired and built droids of various sorts, one handled the electrical details and basic construction, the other the programming and design.&nbsp; Inoru learned at their feet over time, and picked up a lot from their friends.&nbsp; Today, he can probably build or repair nearly anything that he can see plans for.&nbsp; He is especially gifted in electronics and photonics.&nbsp; In fact, he spends a lot of his free time in the Academy’s hanger, following around the technicians and offering advice.<br><br>Personality: Generally quiet, Inoru realizes that he has very little talent for the more physical aspects of Jedi training.&nbsp; He has neither the talent nor the drive to fight, though he knows he has to learn the basics.&nbsp; Ultimately, he hopes to become a consular and work with the ships and other technological aspects of the Temple.&nbsp; Ideally, he’d love to help design and modify new ships for the Jedi.&nbsp; He knows that he could probably build a lightsaber any time he wants to, but is dreading that day, to some extent, in part because it means he’ll have to pass tests in actually using the weapon.<br><br>Weaknesses:<br>Can’t speak without his “breather”<br>Not particularly good at fighting<br>Better with droids and machines than with people and animals.<br><br>Limits: Site Rules, Male-Male<br><br><strong>Quen</strong> (Free)<br>Player's name: Vandren<br>Age: 29<br>Race: Weequay<br>Gender: Male<br>Alignment: Light side<br>Status/Position in the temple: Jedi Master / Consular / Instructor<br>Force Powers/ Skills:<br>- Niman (Adept)<br>- Archaeology/History/Literature (Master)<br>- Flower Arranging (Adept)<br>- Telepathy (Master)<br>- Force Sense (Master)<br>- Psychometry (Master)<br>- Empathy (Adept)<br>- Persuasion (Adept)<br>- Projection (Learning)<br><br>Description: Quen is a typical Weequay in appearance.&nbsp; He has the wrinkled skin, deep tan, dark brooding eyes, and lone black topknot coming down from the right side of his head.&nbsp; He falls just shy of 6.5 feet in height and has a powerful build, as would be expected of his species.&nbsp; Because it is expected, he does carry his green lightsaber at his belt at all times, though he’s never been known to use it since attaining the master rank.&nbsp; As a traditionalist, Quen wears the traditional Old Republic era Jedi robes all the time.&nbsp; In fact, he’s said to look down on those who have taken to modern conventions.<br><br>Background: Born on Dantooine, Quen narrowly escaped never being born.&nbsp; Had Tarkin believed an initial ruse, both of his parents would have been destroyed with the planet.&nbsp; Fortunately, that never happened.&nbsp; Instead, Quen was eventually born and grew up in a desert on that world.&nbsp; He was discovered as a child by a passing Jedi and was sent to study at the temple on Yavin 4.&nbsp; As soon as the Temple on Coruscant was rebuilt, Quen requested transfer to the new school.&nbsp; He was sent to the capital over a decade ago and has been making exceptional use of the library since then.&nbsp; For the last decade, Quen has been working, almost single handedly, on reconstructing Jedi history.&nbsp; His talents with archaeology, history, and literature have helped considerably in this endeavour.&nbsp; To date, he has managed to reconstruct everything post-Purge and has a good idea of several unclear parts of the Old Republic era.&nbsp; Currently, he is focusing his research and reconstruction on the Sith Wars at the urging of the Council.&nbsp; Between studying, he teaches padawans about the order’s history and written works.<br><br>Personality: Quen is a classic academic and bookworm.&nbsp; Had he not been discovered as a Jedi, he probably would have ended up at a local university, assuming his family could afford it.&nbsp; While he sees the necessity of learning militant arts, he was much more interested in the intellectual aspects of Jedi training, thus he stopped instruction in Niman after attaining knight status.&nbsp; That said, he is apparently fairly good with his ‘saber.&nbsp; A few years ago, Quen also became fascinated with flower arranging and began taking up the art in his free time as a sort of calming hobby.&nbsp; He claims that the art helps him to focus and meditate.<br><br>Weaknesses:<br>Sedentary - despite his consular role, he’s never really wanted to travel or move around much<br>Bookworm - Quen generally forgets to do simple things like eat and sleep, especially if he’s stumbled upon something particularly interesting in the library.<br><br>Limits: Site Rules, Male-Male<br><br>Other Notes: More or less lives in the library

				Player's name: Swedish Steel<br>Character Name: Kainae<br>Character Age: 20<br>Character Alignment: Light side.<br><strong>Character's status/position in the temple: Padewan.<br>Character's Force powers/ Skills: Lightsaber (adept), Force Leap (Learning), Jedi Mind Trick (Adept), Empathy (Species ability, Adept), Gambling (Master)<br>Description: Zeltrons are a near human species with skin tones ranging from pink to crimson, in Kainae’s case a deep crimson tone. His hair is blond and thick, and his eyes purple. Nearly all Zeltrons are considered beutifull and handsome (by human standards), and Kainae is no exception. A Zeltron turns heads where ever he or she goes, and that is just fine with the exibitionistic Zeltrons. The high metabolism of the Zeltrons, and his very active life with hard physical training and such, has given Kainae an almost superhuman physique, no matter how much he indulge in unhealthy (but oh so good) food and drink.<br>He loves his Jedi robes and the respect people give him him when he’s wearing them, wich is kinda ironic, because otherwise he prefers to wear as little as possible. When he’s out of his robes, he either wears tight clothes, or clothes that show alot of skin. Zeltrons know others find them beautifull and pleasing to the eye, so why not give them what they want?<br>Background: Kainae was born on the planet Zeltron, wich most people agree is a virtual paradise. His childhood was a happy one, but he feel that his life really got of the ground when he actually got of the ground and traveled into space for the first time. Highly curious and yearning for adventure, Kainae left home at a young age to see the stars. All Zeltrons have a natural affinity for gambling, but Kainae took it to the next level. He was able to make a living by traveling from port to port, making a small fortune by gambling at every stop, and almost as quickly spending it on song, women and wine, though not necesairly in that order. Spending so much time in the underbelly of society made Kainae develop a roguish streak, and he has bent several laws, but tried to avoid breaking them if he could.<br>He first came into contact with the Order after a Jedi named Isulura Adentia saved him from being lynched after he was accused of cheating. She felt potential in Kainae, and invited him to travel to the Jedi Temple to learn the ways of the force. Flatered, Kainae could not say no to such an offer.<br>Personality: Gregarious, warm, lustful and merry, like all Zeltrons. He loves parties and people and genuinely wants to get to know the people he encounters, it’s not just an act to get them in bed (even if he considers that to be a defenite plus). Because he so easely picks up other people’s emotions, Kainae goes out of his way to make everyone feel happy and satisfied. He is the first to try to comfort or cheer up a distressed or sad fellow being. He is very charismatic, and his good looks and his “celebrity status” as a Jedi in training makes women flock around him and fawn over him, trying to win his approval. Something he is fine with, of course, he doesn’t mind the attention at all. One would think that kind of attention would make him arrogant and overconfident, but he doesn’t have it in him, he’s to much of a nice person. He does sometimes inspire jealousy in other men, and they sometimes badmouth him behind his back. If he hears of this he will be hurt, but won’t resent the badmouthers. Instead he would try to win them over by trying to show them that he’s really a nice person, and that he hasn’t let his good looks get to his head.<br>He still possess his roguish streak, partly because it’s a hit with the ladies. He has no problem with breaking the rules, as long as it is a “victimless” crime. He still sneaks out to the seedy parts of town to indulge in his love for gambling and fast, loose women.<br>Kainae is very proud of being invited into the Jedi order, and would never consiously sully the name of the Jedi, though he doesn’t always agree with the Council on just what kinds of acts sully the Jedi name. Very few Zeltrons have ever become Jedi, they have always been written off as far to impatient and flighty to ever cope with the discipline that is needed. This makes Kainae work twice as hard, wanting to prove to everyone that Zeltrons make just as good Jedis as everyone else. He’s constantly trying to prove he is more than a pretty face.<br>Loving his lightsaber and all it stands for, Kainae has so far never used it on a living person and quietly hopes he will never have to. He has seen what damage a lightsaber can do to someone and he’s unsure if he can bring himself to use it in that way, even in the name of good. Still, he loves his fencing practices and keeps getting better at it everyday. He sees the lightsaber duel as something very beutifull and even a bit sensual, as long as no one gets hurt in the end. That’s why he often can be found dueling his fellow padawans with practice lightsabers, because even if they hurt as hell when you get struck by one, they leave no lasting damage.<br>Kainae, like other Zeltrons, view monogamy as something quaint, but ultimatly unpractical and unrealistic. Therefor, if someone does fall for him, they’d stand a good chance of getting their feelings hurt, even though it’s the last thing he’d want.<br>Zeltrons can emit pheromones, either consiously or subconsiously, and thereby projecting their emotions on others. That is one of the reasons people tend to treat Zeltrons, even Zeltron slaves, decently. Otherwise there is a good chance they’d have to share the Zeltron’s missery. It also often leads to quite comcial situations. Getting Kainae aroused in a crowded room, for example, could make people start behaving in ways they hadn’t intended and do things they will feel very embarrased about the morning after.<br>Weaknesses: Zeltrons, though quite peacefull, are great fighters, mostly due to their swift and limber bodies and their fit physique. They are, however, somewhat more fragile than humans. In Kainae’s case, it manifests as him having something of a glass jaw. If someone manages to sucker punch him they could send him into slumber land for several hours.<br>Kainae’s hesitation to use his lightsaber on a fellow being could be view as a weakness, even though he definetly doesn’t see it that way.<br>Zeltrons are very focused on the here and now, and therefor Kainae struggles alot when it comes to learning Force Sense techniques as Farsight and Psychometry.<br>Limits: I would say site limits, and no wastes please. Also, while Zeltrons and Kainae is by their nature bi-sexual, I am to set in my heterosexual ways. Zeltrons see nothing wrong with same sex relationships, and neither do I, but I kinda doubt I would be able to roleplay well enough to pull it off. Kainae might alow himself to be seduced by another man, but I won’t go into details, I would most likely fastforward to the next morning and leave the rest to the readers imagination.<br></strong>

Since then, she has spent her days at the jedi Temple, learning, and hoping to one day become a Master.<br>Personality:<br>Quite independant, she has a stubborn streak that is at times a bad thing. It is a struggle at times to keep her stubborness curbed, but she is able at most times. She is a kind person, always wanting to help others, and thinking of others before herself. When it comes to flying, she doesn't think there's anything quite like it, and often gets excited about it.<br>Weaknesses:<br>Stubborness: At times a very bad hinderance, causing several things to go wrong.<br>Small spaces: Carinne is uncertain as to why, but small spaces terrify her. A cockpit is fine, though a small box or room would be highly uncomfortable, triggering flashbacks to her earlier childhood.<br><br>Limits: Site limits, anything else just ask!

I hope this profile works for you guys.</em><br><br>--oOo--<br><br><strong><br>Player’s Name</strong><br>Monochromatic<br><strong><br>Character Name</strong><br>Konsthora Saarrl<br><br><strong>Character Race</strong><br>Zabrak<br><strong><br>Character Age</strong><br>19<br><strong><br>Character Alignment</strong><br>Light Side.<br><br><strong>Character’s Status/Position in the temple</strong><br>Padewan.<br><strong><br>Character’s Force power / Skills</strong><br>Telekinesis (Learning)<br>Combustion (Learning)<br>Wield Double Bladed Light Saber (Learning) [Ya know, the type that can come apart into-two separate ones (I hope this is okay xD, I’m in love with Mauls saber).] <br><strong><br>Description</strong><br>Zabrak skin coloration can range from the rare pure white or pure black, to the more common shades of cream, peach, tan, and brown in between. Konsthora, like the rarer of her species, has a pale alabaster white complexion –darted with brilliant splashes and shades of blue that make up the intricate tattoo’s on her face and parts of her body. For the most part the tattoo consist of a pattern of thin lines and swirls; except for the right side of her face where the illusion of a spider web from the corner of her eye covers from hairline to upper jaw.&nbsp; <br><br>Liquid green orbs that seem to glow in contrast to her skin make up her eyes – highlighted by the blue of the tattoos. Like all Zabrak she is incapable of growing facial hair and therefore has an absence of eyebrows.&nbsp; Konsthora has straight, layered obsidian black hair that she tends to tie low at the nape of her neck so that it doesn’t get in her way; a few wayward strands always slipping out messily.&nbsp; A Zabrak’s most distinctive feature is the array of small horns on top of their heads. Their crown of horns typically grow in at puberty, and are considered secondary sexual characteristics. <br><br>Konsthora stands only about 5’5 (165cm) in height, and has the stature of an athlete despite her size. She is thin and lithe with gently flaring hips, an ample enough chest – and slender legs and arms toned with a hint of muscle from exercise.&nbsp; <br><br><strong>Background</strong><br>Growing up in one of the larger urban cities on the planet Iridonia, she was the youngest out of four children; and the only female. Her mother had passed away while she was still very young, the memories her scarce. Her father was a proud man but very loving to all his children. In all her childhood was a good one, filled with endless teasing by her older brothers (in which she got them back ten fold).<br><br>When she came of age she began to grow restless, much like her brothers before her. Days would pass as she continued her mundane life. She loved her home dearly but it was clear she wanted to reach out and grasp places she had never been. Her father had passed on only a year earlier and there was nothing really to keep her rooted there.<br><br>With nothing more than the bare essentials and some money to get her through she bummed a ride on a passing ship and set off, marking the beginning of her journey that soon led to the Jedi academy. <br><strong><br>Personality</strong><br>Strong willed, stubborn as an ox, independent, and adventurous are just a few things in the mural that makes up Konsthora personality.&nbsp; She can be cruel and at the same time kind and loving – it just matters on how you rub off on her. <br><br>For the most pat she is quite, and tends to keep to herself – not the type to spill out her every emotion. Despite this, she has been known to throw a sarcastic remark around ever now and then. She tends to stay calm in most situations but when angered her temper is a force to reckon with.<br><br>She loves a good laugh, even when the moment is appropriate at the time. Her eyes always seemingly to be lit with some sort of hidden mirth that only she could comprehend.<br><strong><br>Weaknesses</strong><br>Anger - Even though she doesn’t anger easily, when she is in a good and usually well deserved rage – she tends to act before thinking, making her a bit reckless. Her temper being rare but still a weakness.<br>Curiosity – Who, what, when, where, and how? These things often race through her mind, getting her into trouble at times. She tries to refrain – but the edge of mystery always tends to push her onward.<br>The Needy – Konsthora’s biggest weakness is seeing somebody weaker then her in need. Weather it’s for a few coins or somebody to stick up for them; she is compelled to lend a helping hand.<br><br><strong><br>Limits</strong><br>Site limits. I’m open to try everything at least once. <br></span><br>
