[Characters] The Jensaarai and the "Grey Tortoise"

[Phettberg]

The Grey Tortoise Craft: Corellian Engineering Corporation HT-2200 Background on the Model:   The HT-2200 was a medium freighter from Corellian Engineering Corporation which was intended to capitalize on the popularity of the YT-1300. HT-2200s had a significantly larger cargo capacity than any YT-series vessel. They also had a stronger hull and greater baseline armament than the smaller YT series ships, though they were still lightly armed for their size. The design of the hull and power distribution systems allowed the installation of additional weapons, though this would necessitate the upgrading of the power generator as well. Most HT-2200 owners added new drive systems, the most popular being the 1L10 drive by Incom or drives from SoroSuub. Their main advantage over the YT series was in the design of the cargo bay. The cargo area of the HT-2200 was divided into four independent sections, each of which had its own environmental controls. Without significant modifications, the cargo area in a YT series freighter had to share the same environmental conditions as the rest of the ship. The crew of an HT-2200 could set the gravity, temperature, and atmosphere in each cargo bay differently from each other or the crew area. Though CEC expected the HT-2200 to be a very successful product, poor reviews and insufficient manufacturer support caused it to flop. Its slow speed and low maneuverability earned the HT-2200 a reputation for being "pirate bait." In its baseline configuration, the HT-2200's advantages were offset by inadequate maneuvering thrusters, a low lift-to-mass ratio, and an overtaxed main power generator. Fortunately, these craft were as easy to modify as with their smaller cousins.

[The Rat Queen]

Name: Triz Bat Sheva
Species: Zabrak
Gender: Female
Age: 20
Homeworld: Iridonia
General Background:
Physical description and personality: Triz Bat Sheva is Zabrak woman standing just over 1.8 meters (6') with tan-orange skin, long platinum blonde hair, and violet eyes. She has a "crown" of ebony horns between her hairline and eyes, with red decorative tattoos on her brow, cheeks, chin, neck, and chest. Uncommon to most Zabrak, she has sparse, black eyebrows. She has a strong physique from constant training and moves with deliberate, smooth, confident motions.
Triz Bat Sheva is strong and determined, almost to the point of being single-minded when her mind is set on a task. Her training has curbed these tendencies to some effect, but not eliminated them. She believes in constantly pushing and testing herself for improvement, a quest for perfection that she can never truly attain. She believes that by moving toward physical, mental, and spiritual perfection she becomes closer to The Force and all living beings, and that by improving herself she is improving life everywhere.
Her intensity can be alarming to some, but it is merely her strong focus that she uses for all tasks. While some relax their mind and open themselves to the Force, Triz Bat Sheva sharpens her mind and embraces the force. If using the Force were a dance, some would waltz; Triz Bat Sheva tangoes.
Master: Sheysos-ka
Form: Form VII Vaapad
Lightsaber: Split Saber - Orange blades

 

Force and Order specific background: Triz Bat Sheva was originally trained as a Jedi as a Youngling. She showed early aptitude at physical training and combat, though she drew concern with her internal resistance to obeying the "will of the Force" and quieting her mind. She quickly learned to parrot the philosophies, but did not fool the Jedi, who could sense her independent spirit. Still, they sensed no darkness or fear within her, and she continued her training. When she was apprenticed to a master, the Council assigned her to an Ithorian named Dugong in hopes that the pacifist master would temper the Zabrak's aggression. Dugong utilized the Soresu form, and attempted to use the defensive form to simultaneously allow Sheva to express her physicality while learning discipline, patience, and passive defense. While Sheva did enjoy the challenge of resisting defeat as long as possible, on a practical level she found the form frustrating and restrictive, and found herself much more drawn to the aggressive and effective Juyo and Vaapad styles. At the same time, she began to feel the growing alarm of her instructors, who were alarmed with Sheva's pure enjoyment of combat and feared such aggression would inevitably lead her to the Dark Side. While Sheva did indeed enjoy combat for its own sake, she had no particular love of killing, and was hurt and angered that the Jedi could or would not make the distinction. As Sheva's resentment toward the Jedi's reaction grew, it fed into the Jedi's concern, which increased Sheva's resistance...a vicious cycle Sheva found herself locked in with the Jedi institution itself.
Sheva fought in several battles of the Clone War when it grew large enough that even peace-seeking Jedi such as her master were drawn into the fight. If the Jedi hoped that real combat would temper the young Padawan or 'get it out of her system', they were deceiving themselves. Though her age and inexperience kept her from a majority of the fighting, she still exulted in the combat she did encounter, her aggressive combat tactics often requiring others to come to her aid when she overextended and found herself outnumbered and surrounded. Though everyone was impressed with her skill for one so young, they admonished her for her recklessness...something that had become far too common an occurrence among young Jedi, as far as the Council was concerned.
In the end, there was only one conclusion. Sheva could not allow herself to be molded into what the Jedi wanted her to be, and the Jedi could not stray from their rigid structure to allow for Sheva's proclivities. Dugong showed genuine remorse when he informed her that the Council would not award her the rank of Jedi Knight, and began to offer her other options, but Sheva was at greater peace than she had been since her Youngling days. She felt as though chains had been struck from her body, and she was now free to follow her own destiny. She departed the Jedi temple and began exploring various career options. After finding some success as a pit gladiator for the pleasure and gambling activities of the Hutts, she began doing bounty hunter work for them as well. However, while the Hutts provided a means of survival and activity, she quickly found them loathsome and dishonorable, and began looking into mercenary work. However, the mercenaries she encountered were little better than the Hutts, and Sheva began to long for some way she could hone her skills without plunging head-first into the dregs of the universe. It was then that she encountered Gorga, who was making contact with a former associate while Sheva was present. Detecting Sheva's Force sensitivity, he began speaking with her about her past and her abilities, eventually introducing her to the Jensaarai. Here, Sheva found an organization where she could express her connection to the Force without being strangled by restrictions, and she wound up being accepted as an apprentice by Sheysos-ka, feeling a kinship with the woman due to their similar experiences and philosopy. It was also here when she learned about the Great Jedi Purge and the slaughter of her former classmates. While saddened to hear the news, she suspected that the fall of the Jedi had, at least in part, been brought about by their own inflexibility and strict adherence to doctrine. She also learned that the Jedi attack upon the Jensaarai happened the year after she left the Jedi, and was horrified to realize that, had she remained, she might well have been one of the ones sent. Possibly not, as it was unlikely that Dugong would have participated in such an attack, but it still served to reinforce her belief that she had made the correct decision to leave, possibly even been guided by the Force.
Her approach toward the Force tends to use it as a way to connect her on a metaphysical level with her surroundings, enhancing her physical abilities. In combat, she is very intense; she engages with her opponents constantly, never allowing either a moment's rest and always using unexpected or unorthodox attacks to keep the opponent off-balance.

 

RP sample: Sheva stood in ready position, maintaining a one-handed high guard with her orange blade held horizontally above the head and pointed to the side. Her body was half-twisted, with her off-hand swept across and down. Though her expression was calm, energy flowed through her, ready to move her in any and every direction. Waiting across from her was Sheysos-ka, blade back in a one-handed grip, angled forwards with the blade arm held parallel, the other hand held up in a challenge. Her dominant foot was positioned back. Sheva knew she could not wait long; she was expending energy just by standing still, while the Barabel Guardian was conserving her nearly-inexhaustible endurance. She also knew that she was unlikely to physically overpower her instructor. She also could not win on skill alone, as Sheysos-ka was by far out of her league in terms of swordsmanship. She might be able to surprise the older former Jedi at some point, but not while her guard was up and ready. There was only one way to shift the advantage against a superior foe.
Smirking and stretching her neck to pop it, Sheva began an intricate pattern with her lightsaber, stepping forward and feinting quickly to the side while her orange blade formed a continuous loop around her. She use wide, sweeping strokes, inviting the Guardian to try to slip past her guard, though she knew Sheysos-ka would never fall for such an obvious trap. Instead, she used the ploy to step closer, her blades flashing in a tighter pattern as Sheysos-ka's blade shifted positions to guard against a swift attack. This close, the Guardian was forced to engage, to react rather than set the pace of the battle. It still wasn't enough, though...not by far.
On a backspin, Sheva ignited the second blade of her split saber, using it as a double-bladed saber as she initiated Assured Strike technique, light and quick slashes and jabs that sacrificed power for speed and accuracy and trusted the energy of the blade to cause light, draining attacks. Sheysos-ka gave ground slowly, her own Deflecting Slash redirecting the attacks away easily but allowing Sheva to switch position while Sheysos-ka dealt with the onslaught. Shifting to Swift Flank, Sheva twisted the hilts of her split saber, separating them as she moved to attack the Guardian from two directions, nearly single-handedly flanking her. Sheysos-ka engaged Circle of Shelter to protect herself from all sides, and Sheva immediately used Vornskr's Ferocity, raining furious assault from two sabers on a focused point. Again, Sheysos-ka gave ground, but Sheva expanded her attack, flexing with the Guardian to maintain the assault. She felt her opponent's frustration rising as the blows kept coming, and accepted the emotions into herself, fueling them further with her own exultation of the battle, the thrill of bringing the fight to a stronger, more skilled opponent. Closing the emotional loop, Sheva smiled in pure joy, her attacks forming different patterns with different timing, forcing Sheysos-ka to respond as though she were truly facing two opponents, not one.
"You've been practicsssing," commented Sheysos-ka casually, though Sheva felt her tenseness growing. "My teacher requires constant training and dedication," replied Sheva, initiating a series of extended thrusts while keeping one saber back to guard. Sidestepping the thrusts, Sheysos-ka backflipped for more room, wish Sheva in close pursuit. "I sssee that you are trusssting me not to counterattack," hissed the Barabel, pulling her saber into rear block, then forward parry to defeat a two-sided attack. "One might call that 'overconfidencssse'." Spinning with both blades out and low, Sheva swept one blade up and thrust with the other, forcing another dodging sidestep, and answered conversationally, "One might call fighting you in the first place 'overconfidence'. I call it 'sparring'." Nodding, Sheysos-ka reversed the grip on her saber and asked, "Ssstill a virgin, are you?"
It only took a second of surprise and shock at the question. The furious assault hesitated only for the briefest of moments, but it was more than Sheysos-ka needed. The practice blade struck Sheva in the back of the legs, knocking her into the air, then came down on her chest before she landed, slamming her into the ground. As her dual blades clattered away, Sheva was hard-pressed to decide which hurt more: the blades, the landing, or falling for such a simple trick. She lay recovering as Sheysos-ka flicked her blade off, allowing the apprentice to recover and rise to her feet on her own power. "Not that I'm complaining," Sheva stated a bit breathlessly, wincing as she rose and stretched out he hand, pulling her sabers back to her and attaching them to her belt. "I know 'all's fair in combat' and such. But it's unlikely that an opponent would say such a thing in life-or-death fight."
Sheysos-ka's saurian eyes flashed over to Sheva, regarding her intensely for long enough to cause Sheva to fidget. "Know thisss, young one," Sheysos-ka said very seriously. "If it might work, a sssmart opponent will usse it in a 'life-or-death' battle. Alwayss be on your guard." Walking to stand directly before Sheva, Sheysos-ka tapped the girl on the forehead with a claw, enough to poke but not cut. "Focusss..." she hissed. "That ssstyle you usse iss no toy. You mussst focusss...your thoughtsss, your feelingsss, your actionsss. Juyo and Vaapad bring you perilousssly clossse to the Dark Ssside, and leave openingsss in your defencsse. If you do not focusss and maintain absssolute control at all timesss, death will be the leassst of your problemsss."
Flexing her shoulder to loosen it up a bit, Sheva asked, "Why do we assume that the Light Side and the Dark Side are at polar opposites? That each action or thought is either dark or light? Life doesn't work that way, after all, and the Force is Life. Can't the Light and Dark be in balance?" She tilted her head while regarding her teacher, genuinely curious rather than argumentative.
Sheysos-ka's hissing laughter greeted her question as the Guardian shook her head. "I never sssaid they were oppossitesss, did I? That'sss your Jedi training talking." Reaching out a clawed hand, Sheysos-ka brought a training staff sailing across the room to her and caught it, holding it in the middle. Balancing the staff on her open palm, she asked, "What doess thisss ssignify?"
Sheva looked, then sighed. "You're demonstrating balance. Stay in the middle and the staff, a rather obvious metaphor for the Force, will stay balanced. Go too far to one side or the other and it will fall, but that's what I'm talking about! You're treating Light and Dark as opposite ends!"
"Light and Dark are indeed two ends to the ssspectrum," Sheysos-ka nodded, bringing up another claw and holding the staff with both. "Noticsse that I moved both clawsss that time, one toward each end. But I ssstill maintained balancsse. You could do the sssame with a round disssc...you would ssstill need to maintain balancsse. The ssstyle you ussse?" Sheysos-ka choked up with both claws, holding the staff more like a bat. "Tendsss to ussse more Dark Ssside. Aggresssion...passsion...indulgencsse. It can be effective when usssed correctly, in moderation." Sheysos-ka suddenly swung the staff at Sheva's head, stopping it mere inches from striking and causing Sheva to flinch and grope awkwardly for her practice blade. More hissing laughter as Sheysos-ka tossed the staff back toward where it was originally, "Too ssslow, Apprenticsse. Asss I ssaid, usseful, but alsso becomesss unwieldy, awkward, off-balancsse. That kind of attack cannot be maintained for long before it drainsss you and leavesss you open and vulnerable. Sssuch iss the danger of Juyo and Vaapad. Ussse it sssparingly, wissely, or it will drain and consssume you."
Sheva felt shame and anger form within her at letting her guard down and being slow to react. I should know better! she thought irritably to herself. Never let your guard down...especially with this instructor. Rather than try to calm her emotions, she focused on harnessing them, shaping them. Use them sparingly, she repeated to herself, considering the words and how they could be applied. Vaapad used a feedback loop of the dark emotions of both combatants; a Vaapad user embraced her opponent's aggression and fed it back to them. Is that what she means? Sheva wondered. Make sure the energy is balanced in the loops? Or did she mean to use Vaapad sparingly, switching out with Soresu?
Sheva's ruminations would have to wait for the moment, however. Walking back to a position a few feet away, Sheysos-ka ignited her saber and retook guard position. "Again."

[Begon Ugo]

Syrbo Rasa Name Syrbo Rasa Species:Cathar Gender:Male Age:25 Homeworld:Cathar General Background: The story of the Cathar is the story of genoicide. All but wiped out by a Mandalorian invasion, the genetic memory of the massacre burns deeply in the Cathar people… none more so than in Syrbo. The Battle of Cathar, as the massacre came to be known, had led to the few desperate survivors being forced to flee from their homeworld. Now almost 4,000 years later, Syrbo’s clan had only recently repatriated to Cathar. It was during this return to his ancestral homeland that Syrbo began to feel the first stirrings of the force within him. It had first manifested as a longing to return to the tree cities of his people and by the time the Cathar had stepped foot on his home planet, the young warrior had begun to experiment with the connection he now felt, not just with Cathar, but with the force that permeates all. Syrbo knew of the force… there had been Cathar Jedi… Sylvar. Her exploits were told over communal fires and it was to her shrine, built high in a secluded city-tree that Syrbo had traveled as he meditated on the path before him. Sylvar had been a Jedi… but that was a path that Syrbo could not travel down. Just as the Mandalorians had tried to exterminate his people… the Jedi were not without blood on their hands as well. He had heard the stories... drunken tales of Jedi persecution of heretics...the grey. Syrbo had much to learn but in one thing he was firm… never trust those who were sure in their own righteousness. His fledgling immersion into the force continued, the Cathar keen to find a way to harness the energy but fearing the outcome if he did not find a mentor to teach him. Sylvar had almost succumbed to the dark side… Syrbo had no illusions that he could not suffer the same temptations. In the tales, he had learned that the Jedi inquisitors had been brought to Susevfi… that is where he needed to travel. Physical description and personality. Cyrbo carries himself with a quiet confidence, his slight, athletic build belying his martial ability. He moves with a fluidness of motion, always aware of his surroundings and his physical positioning in space. Cyrbo’s mane is short and a clear indication of his relative youth, though he does carry a significant scar that runs down his fur covered face in three angry rivulets. The scars are a reminder of Cyrbo’s participation in a ritualistic blood hunt against the Kiltik that ravage Cathar. Cyrbo had acted rashly, rushing forward to deal the killing blow to a hive queen. The blow landed true, but not before the dying giant beetle-like creature almost killed him in return. A valuable lesson was learned that day, and Cyrbo now endeavors to keep his tempestuous emotions under control. Force and Order specific background: Master: Diaboye Bede Form: IV Ataru Lightsaber: Guard Shoto Cyrbo's arrival on Susevfi was not welcomed. Arriving unexpectedly... uninvited... and asking too many questions of a sensitive nature, the Cathar was tersely directed to leave... for his own good. Cyrbo, seething on the inside, did as he was told... but he did not return home. Instead he retreated to the plains and savannas where he stayed, honing his hunting skills and waiting... patiently waiting. The force had brought him to Susevfi and he would stay. His discipline was noted by Master Diaboye and his stubborn refusal and dedication led to him being accepted as an apprentice to the rodent like Chadra- Fan. The pair make for an odd pair, but Bede has diligently worked on harnessing Cyrbo's innate aggressiveness... sharpening it to be akin to a fine spear point and not a dull hammer.   Attributes: Cathar Attribute Dice: 12D DEXTERITY 2D/4D+2 KNOWLEDGE 1D/3D+2 MECHANICAL 1D/4D PERCEPTION 1D/4D STRENGTH 1D/4D TECHNICAL 1D/3D+2 Special Abilities: Claws: Cathar have claws that do STR+1D damage.

Effect: Combat sense allows a Jedi to focus on the battle at hand. Everything else becomes dulled and muted as the Jedi’s senses are all turned toward the combat occurring around him. All targets become mentally highlighted in the Jedi’s mind, enhancing his ability to attack and defend. In game terms, the Jedi gains important advantages. First, the Jedi may choose when he wishes to act that round—no initiative rolls are necessary while the power is in effect. If more than one Jedi is using the power, whoever rolled highest when invoking the power determines when he wishes to act. Second, the Jedi’s attack and defense rolls are increased by +2. Combat sense lasts for ten combat rounds and doesn’t count as a “skill use’ for determining die code penalties.Combat sense Sense Difficulty: Very Easy. Modified by proximity and relationship. Required Ability: Life detection This power may be kept up to track a target. Effect: The user can sense the presence and identity of a specific person for whom he searches. The user can sense how badly wounded, diseased, or otherwise physically disturbed the target is. A target may use the control skill to hide his identity from the Jedi uses life sense. The character’s control skill is added to the senser’s difficulty.Life sense Sense Difficulty: Moderate or attacker’s control roll Required Powers: Life detection This power can be “kept up”. Effect: Danger sense allows a Jedi to extend his senses around himself like protective sensors creating an early warning system for as long as the power remains in effect. When this power is used, the Jedi detects any attacks the round before they are made. This gives the Jedi a round to decide how to react to the danger.In game terms, if a character plans to attack the Jedi on the next round, she must declare her action the round before. Attacking characters with Force skills may roll their control skill to increase the difficulty of using this power.Danger sense Sense Difficulty: Very Easy. Modified by proximity. Time to Use: Three rounds Effect: This power allows a Jedi to increase the effectiveness of his normal senses to perceive things that are otherwise impossible without aid. He can hear noises beyond his normal hearing due to distance or softness – he can’t hear or see beyond normal species frequencies. Likewise, he can see normal visible things over distances that would normally require the use of macrobinoculars, and identify scents and odors that are normally too faint for human olfactory senses.Magnify Senses Control 2D Control Difficulty: Moderate Sense Difficulty: Easy. This power may be “kept up”. Effect: To use a lightsaber most effectively, a Jedi learns this power. The Jedi uses this power both to wield this elegant but difficult-to-control weapon while also sensing his opponent’s actions through his connection to the Force. This power is called upon at the start of a battle and remains up until the Jedi is stunned or injured; a Jedi who has been injured or stunned may attempt to bring the power back up. If the Jedi is successful in using this power, the Jedi adds his sense dice to his lightsaber skill roll when trying to hit a target or parry, and he adds or subtracts up to the number of his control dice to the lightsaber’s 5D damage when it hits in combat. Players must decide how many control dice they are adding or subtracting before they roll damage. If the Jedi fails the power roll, he must use the lightsaber with only his lightsaber skill to hit and the weapon’s normal damage in combat and he cannot attempt to use the power again for the duration of the combat. Finally, the Jedi may use lightsaber combat to parry blaster bolts as a “reaction skill.” To do this, the character must declare that he is parrying that round, using his lightsaber skill as normal. The Jedi may also attempt to control where deflected blaster bolts go; this is a reaction skill and counts as an additional action. (The Jedi cannot full parry when trying to control deflected bolts.) The Jedi must declare which specific shot he is controlling. Then, once the roll is made to see if the blaster bolt was parried by the Jedi, the Jedi makes a control roll, with the difficulty being his new target’s dodge or the range (figured from the Jedi to his target). The damage is that of the original blaster bolt.Lightsaber Combat Control Difficulty: Very Easy for sunburn; Easy for intense sun; Moderate for solar wind; Difficult for a radiation storm. Characters may use this power for energy attacks such as blaster bolts and Force lightning – the difficulty is Moderate plus the damage roll of the attack. This power may be kept up as long as the source of the energy is constant. Effect: This power allows Jedi to absorb/ dissipate energy, including light, heat, radiation, and blaster bolts. If the user fails the roll, he takes full damage from the energy. This power may be used to ward off sunburn, heat-stroke, and radiation exposure, as will as withstand intense heat. This power may also be used to absorb blaster bolts, as Darth Vader did on Cloud City. The character must activate the power in the same round to absorb the blaster bolt or Force lightning -- the character must be able to roll the power before the attack lands. He can’t use this power after the attack has hit.Absorb/dissipate energy Control Difficulty: Easy This power may be kept up. Effect: By using Force of will, the character uses his or her own willpower skill to fight the effects of hostile Force powers. If faced with a mind-based power, the Jedi’s willpower skill roll may be added to either the control or Perception code. The control (or Perception) plus willpower total is referred to as the “protection number.” If the attack roll is less than the target’s control (or Perception) roll, the character suffers no ill effects. If the attack roll is greater than the protection number, the Jedi suffers the full effects of the attacking power. If the attack roll is greater then the control roll, but less than the protection number, the Jedi is protected from the power, but his willpower is considered “battered.” Subtract -1D from the character’s willpower skill. The Jedi can still continue to defend, but with the decreased willpower. Reroll for a new protection number in this case. If a Jedi’s willpower skill ever reaches 0D, the Force of will power is automatically dropped, and the Jedi can only resist with control or Perception. It takes one day to recover 1D of damage from a “battered will,” or one hour in emptiness (or rage) for each 1D to recover. Note: Force of will does not protect against Force lightning or Force storms or objects hurled by telekinesis. These are external rather than internal powers, in which case willpower would be useless. However, it works on injure/kill, telekinetic kill, inflict pain, and other powers which directly use the Force to affect the target.Force of Will Control Difficulty: Easy for wounded characters, Moderate for incapacitated characters, Difficult for mortally wounded characters. Time to Use: One minute Effect: A Jedi who uses this power successfully may make two natural healing rolls for the current day (12 hours apart) regardless of the severity of the injury. The Jedi gets a +2 modifier to both Strength rolls to heal. Accelerate healing may only be attempted once per day.Accelerate Healing Equipment: Guard Shoto Type: Melee weapon Scale: Character Skill: Lightsaber: guard shoto Difficulty: Moderate Damage: 4D Game Notes: Without the proper specialization, the difficulty to use a Guard Shoto is one grade higher than normal (i.e., Difficult), and none of the special benefits of the guard shoto may be used. If properly trained, a Jedi wielding a double-bladed lightsaber gains a +3 bonus to all parry rolls. If an attacking character misses the difficulty number by more than 10 points (the base difficulty; not their opponent’s parry total), the character has injured himself with the lightsaber.

Rinas Var'adrid Rinas Var'adrid Name: Rinas Var’adrid Species: Balosar Gender: Female Age: 20   Balosar age according to Wookiepedia are Child: 1-12, Young adult: 13-15, Adult: 16-39, [...] Timeline: 21 BBY - Rinas Var’adrid was born 18 BBY - 15 years old: she leave Balosar 2 years out hopping from station to station 16 BBY - 17 years old: a Jeensari found her 3 years training with the Jensaari 13 BBY - 20 year old: now Homeworld: Balosar Physical description: Rinas is a Balosar woman standing at the great height of 1.63, an average height for a Balosar. Her eyes are a blue grey tone. If it wasn’t for the antennapalps sprouting from the top of her head, Rinas could quite look like a human, just a sick and gaunt one: her skin was pale and her body looked haggard and frail. Her coarse hairs had a bluish color without much shine and were usually kept them into a ponytail. In the 3 years with the Jeensari, away from the poisons of her homeworld and of her addicition, she had lost some of her sick and gaunt look, gaining more color in her skin and hairs and weight. She still looks kind of frail but she now has more strength. The antennapalps are retractable appendages that allow her to listen into the subsonic range thus letting her detect surges of emotions; her species had used such ability as a forewarn from impending danger. Another trait shared with her brethren is the resistance to toxins and most poisons. She has a metal nose ring on the right nostril and a chin stud. Personality: A homeworld full of poison and desperation could not foster beings full of positiveness. Rinas was no exception and, for the first part of her life, she quite filled the stereotype of the Balosar people: gloomy and depressed, cynical and sarcastic with a dark view of the future. However, her personality has started changing after she joined the Jeensari: she has regained some positiveness toward the galaxy at large and the future itself. The depression had been receding some as are her cynicism and sarcasm. She is not yet fully free of them and it is an ongoing fight, she still has bouts of depression where she loose will and her thoughts turns darker and often self-deprecating. Background: Rinas Var’adrid was born on the heavily polluted word of Balosar, a planet that didn’t foster positiveness and a good outlook of the world or the future. From an early age, she had visions… or very real dreams or nightmares, like she thought for most of her early life. The general attitude of society and the poor living conditions didn’t help the young Balosar as the visions started to become stronger and more frequent. She couldn’t explain them nor control them, they just happened: some times she saw herself, some time she saw others, some time she saw worlds she didn’t even know the name of, some times she saw people she couldn’t name or place. In a world dominated by a drug production and addiction, Rinas soon found out how the Death Sticks, produced deep into the overly polluted planet, helped her keep the visions at bay. They would shut them off, make them less vivid as the world took on a brighter, less glum, tone; it wasn’t for long, but it was enough to feel slightly more “normal”. One try lead to a second and, as many of her brethren, she slowly slide down into the spiralling darkness of addiction. If the death sticks shut off the visions, they would come back even harder and this “return” pushed her into getting more and more. She was immune to the lethal effect of the death sticks, the shortening of life that cuts other’s addicted life shorter at each usage, but it didn’t protect her from the world around. Her addiction led her to a near death experience, one she woke up from with the feeling that, if she didn’t do something, she won’t see the raise of another week, not to say another year. There wasn’t much for her on her poisoned homeworld, but the galaxy was a wide place, would it be somewhere a possibility for her to change? Off world she headed, with a baggage of ghosts and visions weighting on her gaunt looking shoulders. She had no hopes or dreams; she just hoped to be able to outrun the ghost lying just outside her vision, in that dark corners, corners that would be less dark if she took one more sip of a death stick. However, outrunning an addiction as a lone soul in a storming see-like galaxy is a near impossible task and, for as many hops she did, the addiction kept up with her as did the ghosts and the visions, coming back again and again. Despair started settling in heavy, afar from her homeworld, alone in unknown places, she started despairing there was no way out of the sick circus she felt she was endlessly dancing in. This was when a follower of the Jeensari current found her. Nobody would have given a gaut, sickly looking Balosar in a descending spiral, a chance: too old for the Jedi if they ever found her, not powerful enough for the Sith if they too ever found her. Instead, the Jeensari adept did. But why he did? She had asked herself that question many times in the oncoming years but she never had a complete answer. She often believed it was out of pity more than for her Force sensitivity with which she struggled to come to terms with. Question aside, the Jeensari follower tried to help the sick Balosar: they spoke of the Force, this mystique power that gave her the visions but at the same time, powers she didn’t know she had, about the light that could help her heal herself and free her from the shackles of her past. She had nothing to lose, she was already lost and something deep into her core resonated with the talks of the Jeensari. She took the rope she had been thrown and let the Jeensari follower push her toward the Jeensari homeworld of Susevfi. Reaching the Jeensari didn’t mean she was saved and happy; if she had been saved from the wider galaxy, she wasn’t yet safe from her own ghost and chains. If the journey had been painful till now, it wasn’t going to be any easier onward as she started the hard path of making peace with her visions and latent powers and more importantly, the path of rejecting the addiction and the death sticks that were sitting at its centre, like a spider in its web. It had been a journey which hadn’t ended yet; through small steps, she developed from a sickly, gaunt looking, on the verge of destruction Balosar with a doomed view of the world, to a less sickly looking woman looking to a less grim future as she strived to get better and help the others get better. If she had such powers, why she couldn’t use them to try help others from falling into the same spiral of total darkness she did? It was kind of natural for her to align with Jenwai Midwan in an attempt to spread the word of what was saving her. Force specific background: Her chosen weapon is a lightsaber staff: a lighsaber with a long hilt that doubles as a walking stick. She first started using it when she was still too weak to dive into weapons and styles that required strength such as double bladed lightsabers but then she got used to the additional reach and she kept it, refining it. Through her life she had noticed how people would underestimate her just by her look. A sickly looking Balosar… what it could do? As in her early stages of her training she still looked quite gaunt, she noticed how the walking stick would only strengthen the image of a sick woman and she decided to work with it: now the walking stick wasn’t a walking stick anymore but it worked as a weapon, both with and without the white yellowish energy blade coming out one of the ends. Her lightsaber takes the shape of a staff, a bit shorter than her, of grey metal with two thirds of the length covered in leather for a better grip. Her fighting style is still in development but at core it’s a more defensive style where Rinas use the increased reach to keep an opponent at bay and soften the brunt of the attacks’ force. In regard to the Force itself, she prefers once again a more defensive approach, trying to use her powers to sense the situation and build a “virtual image” of it before acting, instead of jumping headlong into the fight and using the Force to fight right away. In this, she is helped by the antennapalps with their ability to listen to the subsonic range, adding one more layer of data to what the Force and the standard senses can give her. Her lightsaber Lighsaber The Master and Her The relationship with her Master hadn’t been the simplest, if so could be said. When she first arrived on Susevfi, she really had little ideas of how things would work: she came there to save herself, without any knowledge but what that follower of the Jeensari she met told her. Her addiction to death sticks was a problem not everybody knew how to deal with but it was too important, too big into her life, not to be addressed. The choice was made for Bourtain Vekku to take on the role of her Master as he knew about compulsions, about the nightmares derived from it and about the discipline needed to fend said compulsions off. He was the one that could relate the most with her addiction. The start was rough: his very testy approach to teaching gave her plenty of problems. He often pushed her further, past whatever limit she had reached till then; she knew he could understand her, but at the same time, she sometimes felt like he didn’t want to, as if he rather had her alone fight her own demons than lending the help she knew he could provide. She felt like he didn’t care enough for her. While not the most vocal on her personal problems, there had been moments where she had screamed at him and even, a time or two, things had flown around, more in reaction than with purpose. Not to mention, she had quite some sleepless nights fearing that her now Master would come and drink her brain out of her nostrils! Anzati weren’t the most friendly race that walked the galaxy at large and they had a reputation for being a dangerous one. She knew death sticks would kill her sooner or later, but being “sipped alive” wasn’t on the top of her “how to die” list nonetheless. It wasn’t an idyllic relationship but, at the same time, on the long run, it gave her sometimes she might not have gotten if he had helped her a lot more: a trust into her abilities, a trust into the fact that she could do more than take death sticks until the end of her time. If he had her painfully fail many times, at the same time, when she succeeded, she knew she had done it, for real. RP Sample:   She rolled in the simple bed and pushed her face in the pillow. It had been a bad day and it wasn’t like the night was going any better: she was feeling the pull, the need for one more fix. She was starting to get clean, but still there were days all her being, each and every fibre screamed for one more death stick. That had been one of those days. But in the small Jeensari enclave it wasn’t like she could head to a dark alley and find a dealer. First and foremost there were no drug dealers as there were no drugs, like at all, second everybody kind of knew everybody else, third they kept an eye on her as everybody kind of knew of her problems and fourth… fourth she had to sneak to the city if she wanted a fix which was in itself a problem. She rolled again and started at the simple ceiling. She had sneaked to the city for a fix before. A few times she did alright, some others she got… scolded… that didn’t cover how much her Master, and somewhat the other Defenders too for that matter, looked hard at her… and spoke to her… He wasn’t that soft normally… he didn’t get any softer when she did things like that…! It had hurt… even if he didn’t physically hit her, the need coupled with his words and stare had made bad days into even worse days. She sighed. She couldn’t sneak out. She had to resist. He always spoke that there was no trying, she had to do it, learn it right there, and things like that. And most often than not she wondered if he was trying to help her or what else. She breathed as she let her perception extend, she couldn’t feel much activity that deep into the night. She could try to sneak out, get to the speeder, speed away, get a fix and then be back before everybody woke up... And she almost got to the door ready to run… She couldn’t sneak out. She didn’t have the force to endure another, additional, scolding… She sighed. She would endure another writhing sleepless night and try to pull through… He would scold at her nonetheless she bet… The character Sheet   Move: 10/12 Size: 1.6 meters tall on average DEXTERITY: 2D - Lightsaber (DEX): 3D - Lightsaber: [Lightsaber] (DEX): 4D - Blaster Weapon (Holdout): 3D KNOWLEDGE: 3D - Streetwise (KNO): 5D MECHANICAL: 1D+2 - Repulsorlift Operation (Speeder Bike): 2D+2 PERCEPTION: 4D - Bargain (PER): 6D - Gambling (PER): 4D+1 - Sneak (PER): 4D+2 - Search (PER): 5D - Con (PER): 5D STRENGTH: 1D TECHNICAL: 1D+1 - Lightsaber Repair/Engineering 3D+1 - Cortosis Armor Repair/Engineering 3D+1 Special Abilities: Antennapalps: A Balosar’s antennapalps are sensitive to sound and provide a +1D bonus to search by sound.

[Silent Rain]

Name: PK8-08
Species:Class five Cybot Galactica PK-Series Worker Droid
Gender: N/A
Age: 43 (9 Years since last memory wipe)
Homeworld: Manufactured in a Cybot Galactica droid factory on Affa

Physical description and personality: PK8-08 stands nearly four feet tall and is constructed of durable alloys that provide him a frame that made him suitable for construction in inhospitable environments. As with other PK8s, he is painted yellow, though this has become faded and scratched with age. Despite being a droid, he does posses an anatomy that resembles that of a humanoid.

Even before gaining his freedom, PK8 has always been fiercely protective of the Jensaarai, doing whatever he can to protect them and their agenda. He is friendly and enjoys having conversations with anyone. Although he has begun to experience emotions, such as anger and happiness, there are still many that he struggles to understand and express. In general, humor is lost on him.

General Background:
PK8-08 was purchased by the Jensaarai in the year 22 BBY to aid in the building of their halls and other structures. As per usual with the purchase of any droid, PK8's memory was wiped before being sent on his way to aid in the construction.

During the Jedi assault in 20 BBY and their attempted capture of Nikkos Tyris, PK8 was preset during the battle and ultimately damaged when the Sith Holocron was destroyed. PK8 was repaired and put back to work, this time to rebuild what he had spent the last couple of years building.

Several years pass with not much changing for PK8, despite the Clone Wars ending, the Republic coming to an end, Palpatine issuing Order 66, and the fall of the Jedi Order, those on Susevfi remained sheltered from the chaos swirling in the galaxy around them.

In 17 BBY, Palpatine sent a small contingent of inquisitors to hunt down and destroy what he believed to be the relatively small group of Jensaarai. One of the inquisitors came upon a resource gathering station that was still under construction. PK8-08 had been sent there to assist with the building. Only a handful of Jensaarai were present to oversee the construction, along with several of their children, two of which were force sensitive. The inquisitor was closest to the children's location when he approached the station and sensed their presence, as he had been trained to do...

 

PK8-08 had been nearing completion on a building that children liked to play in while they were at the station with their parents. He stopped what he was doing as a person PK8 had never seen before approached.

"Greetings," PK8 said as the unknown human enter the building. "May I be of assi.."

The lightsaber struck PK8 directly into his chest, knocking him onto his back. He remained powered down for a few seconds before his systems began to come back online. The saber had miraculously struck his restraining bolt, destroying it and leaving a gash in his durable frame. As he sat back up and began to rise, he could see the man that had attacked him was now fighting with the children. Two were already knocked to the ground, though they still appeared to be alive. The third child took a kick to the chest and was sent sprawling to the ground, gasping for breath as the wind had been knocked from his lungs.

The inquisitor took a step forward and smiled, raising his lightsaber, its pulsing red light reflecting menacingly off the metal of his helmet. He was about to bring his weapon down when several orange mechanical fingers wrapped around the hilt of his saber and hand, gripping them tightly.

The man's eyes went wide by the unusual actions by the droid. "Release me," he ordered.

PK8 began to squeeze harder.

The inquisitor screamed. "Release me right now!"

But, instead of following the command given to him, PK8 did something he had never done before. He said, "no". A second later the inquisitor's hand and lightsaber were crushed together in PK8's vice-like grip. With his other hand, he struck the man in the chest, sending him sliding across the floor and into a pillar.

The inquisitor rose and clutched his crushed hand to his chest and ran off the way he had come. The Jensaarai appeared a moment later, lightsabers buzzing as they entered the building, only to find a lone worker droid standing over the three children.

PK8 was brought before the Saarai-kaar herself, Rasa Anim. She listened to what had happened, thankful the inquisitor had not seriously harmed the children. She spoke with PK8 at length and came to the conclusion that he indeed was self aware and had his own desires. She determined that to wipe his memory and fit him with another restraining bolt would unconscionable.

From that day onward, he became a member of the Jensaarai, learning as much as he could, and eventually even joining missions off-world.

 

How are they otherwise (as a non-sensitive) tied to the Jensaarai? see background/Rp sample

How much do they believe in the cause of the Emissaries? PK8 believes in the ideals of the Jenwai Midwan and thinks it is good to protect others that need help and to bring more members into the Jensaarai. The emissaries' support of Rasa Anim also line up with his own.

How did they feel about the corruption of the founder of the order? PK8 does not understand the differences in philosophy between the Jedi, Sith, and others, but he did find that everyone seemed happier after Nikkos Tyris and his followers were killed, which made him happy.

What are their strengths? PK8-08 has expanded on his default role of building things, and has become proficient in engineering, mechanical, and computer skills. His skills have allowed him to work on his own frame and programming, which he has done frequently since gaining his freedom. He has integrated a weapon or two and is capable of holding his own in combat if needed.

Who is their Master? Although not his master, he was told not to refer to anyone with that title anymore, PK8 does defer to Rasa Anim as his 'leader'.

In addition, after gaining his freedom, PK8 began to develop a friendly relationship with Diaboye Bede, the former Jedi seemingly always having time to answer what could be perceived as his child-like questions. They have spent much time together over the years simply talking, but also training PK8 as well. She is the first person he has ever thought of as a friend.

The scomp-link allows information transfer from a droid to virtually any type of data-storage device (such as a computer, dataplaque or datapad). In addition, the scomplink allows a droid to search computer networks for information (adding 1D to computer programming/repair rolls).Scomp-Link
A sensor booster is a droid enhancement that extends the range of its sensors to a maximum of 2 kilometers, if the droid has a sensor pack installed.Sensor Booster
Locomotion
Magnetic Feet allow droids to move normally across unstable or slanted metallic surfaces, like a ship’s exterior. Magnetic hands provide a +1D bonus to any climbing/jumping roll when scaling portions of a starship’s hull. Also, the combination of magnetic hands and feet adds +5 to the difficulty of any attempt to knock the droid off a ship’s hull.Magnetic Hands & Feet
Navigation
An automap system actively scans the area within a 20-meter radius of a droid in which it is installed, granting a +2D search bonus. The scan reveals terrain, atmospheric conditions, electromagnetic signatures, and lifeforms. However, an automap scan cannot penetrate solid objects such as walls and closed doors. The scan also includes navigational information, such as the droid’s direction and speed when readings were taken as well as global coordinates if the droid can establish a link to an orbiting satellite or starship.Automap
Tools
Skill: Missile weapons
Range: 2-15/35/100

The internal grappling gun allows a droid to fire a magnetic grappling hook with 15 meters of ultra-thin cord. An external magazine allows the droid to carry an additional 100 meters of cord. The cord can be detached from the droid as a free action. Range: 2-15/35/100Internal Grapple Gun
Skill: Blaster: welding laser
Range: Short
Damage: 5D+2

The HL welding laser is a small, versatile tool designed for ship-based repair efforts. The laser is small (5 cm long), attached to an external blaster power cell that can be strapped to a droid. The laser has a short range (3 centimeters) but is extremely powerful (5D+2 damage); the welding beam lasts for 10 rounds. If there is no power cell available, the laser can be powered for short periods of time by the droid’s own energy source; such a hook-up requires 1D rounds and a Moderate droid repair roll. The beam will last for 5 rounds if powered by the droid. If the droid attempts to run the beam for longer periods of time, it must make a Moderate stamina or Strength roll (whichever is higher); if the droid fails the roll, it takes 2D damage each round until the beam is deactivated. (Regardless, the beam will only last for a maximum of 10 rounds.)Welding Laser
Defensive Accessories & Weapons
The internal defenses activate when a character attempts to access any of the droid’s maintenance panels without the droid’s permission. It discharges and electric shock that does 3D damage to the invader, but leaves the droid unharmed. The system remains active until it is disabled (Very Difficult security or droid repair roll, 1 hour of work), or until its power is depleted after 10 attacks.Internal Defenses
Skill: Missile weapons
Fire Rate: 1/2
Range: 3-4/5/7
Damage: 5D (first round, 3D for next five rounds unless extinguished)

The basic version of the flame projector is detectable with an Easy sensors roll or a Moderate search or Perception total. A droid equipped with this type of weapon is susceptible to corrosion damage if the chemical tank that fuels the flame projector is damaged. (The chemical does 3D damage each round until it is washed off.) Internal tanks can be damaged if the droid is incapacitated. External tanks can be ruptured by stray blaster shots or physical blows; treat them as if they have Strength 3D to resist damage.Onboard Flame Projector
Skill: Firearms: taser / melee combat
Range: 0-2/4/7
Damage: 4D stun/ion damage

A droid taser fires two small projectiles attached to long, thin wires that deliver an electric charge that incapacitates an organic target’s nervous and muscular systems, or interferes with a droid’s systems like an ion gun. Additionally, a taser can be used as a melee weapon like an electroshock probe.Taser
General Accessories
Courier compartments are hidden storage spaces which can be installed in the droid’s torso, head or limbs. The cargo space varies with the size of the droid. Detecting a courier compartment requires a Very Difficult search roll. A common accessory in a courier compartment is a toaster, which destroys the contents of the compartment with a brief blast of plasma energy triggered by the droid.Courier Compartment
Occasionally installed on rescue or medical droids, an emergency oxygen tank carries enough breathable air for 30 minutes. The oxygen may be attached to a character via a breath mask, or may be used to recharge a vac suit.Emergency Oxygen Supply
A hidden core allows a droid to retain all of its programming, skill improvements, and personality after a memory wipe. 1D days after the memory wipe, the droid can try to make a Difficult droid programming/repair roll in order to restore its backup. If the roll fails, the droid may attempt it again every 1D days. In order to discover a hidden core, a character must be actively searching for something suspicious in the droid and succeed in a droid programming repair roll against the droid’s willpower, or against a Heroic difficulty if the droid has spent an extra 200 credits for the deluxe installation.Hidden Core
Roll: Dexterity vs Perception
Range: 10-meter cone
Damage: On success, blinded for one full round

This spotlight shines visible, infrared, or ultraviolet light, negating 1D of low-lighting penalty, with a 6-km range. The light may also be used to blind targets within a 10-meter cone. The droid makes a Dexterity roll against the targets’ Perception. If the droid succeeds, the target stared into the light and is blinded for one full round (characters with specialized eye protection are not affected).Multispectrum Searchlight

The scan also includes navigational information, such as the droid’s direction and speed when readings were taken as well as global coordinates if the droid can establish a link to an orbiting satellite or starship.Automap | The internal grappling gun allows a droid to fire a magnetic grappling hook with 15 meters of ultra-thin cord. An external magazine allows the droid to carry an additional 100 meters of cord. The cord can be detached from the droid as a free action. Range: 2-15/35/100Internal Grapple Gun | The basic version of the flame projector is detectable with an Easy sensors roll or a Moderate search or Perception total. A droid equipped with this type of weapon is susceptible to corrosion damage if the chemical tank that fuels the flame projector is damaged. (The chemical does 3D damage each round until it is washed off.) Internal tanks can be damaged if the droid is incapacitated. External tanks can be ruptured by stray blaster shots or physical blows; treat them as if they have Strength 3D to resist damage.Onboard Flame Projector (Sensor Resistant) | A droid taser fires two small projectiles attached to long, thin wires that deliver an electric charge that incapacitates an organic target’s nervous and muscular systems, or interferes with a droid’s systems like an ion gun. Additionally, a taser can be used as a melee weapon like an electroshock probe.Taser

GEAR 1000 starting credits Starting equipment Guard shoto lightsaber Name Isena Kinro Species Echani Gender Female Age 22 Homeworld Eshan General Background Born on the Echani homeworld as the fourth oldest of 8 siblings, Isenas mother is a high ranking political official of Echani Command. Both her Father and her older brother Inarin were force sensitive, which led to the three of them forming a close force bond with each other, even when they were infants. Inarins force potential was much greater than her own which alerted the Jedi Order to their force sensitivity. The Order came and recruited her brother but left her with her family, leaving her father who never formally trained to teach her about the force. As they grew up together, though lightyears apart, their force bond with one another assisted them both in their combat skills and training. Lessons and guidance from one would transfer to the other in the form of intuitions and premonitions, giving each an almost prescient level of combat predictions which was especially useful for Isena, as the Echani place great emphasis on physical combat skill. While this force bond had its benefits, Isena soon found that her force bond didn't just link to her brother, but that she could reach out to feel the minds of other living things as well. Emotions were the most prevalent thing she felt, and she found it difficult to let go of the many emotions her force enhanced empathy instilled her with. These emotions that she could feel were transmitted to Inarin through their force bond and he found it difficult to focus on his Jedi training that eschewed emotional attachments. He eventually grew concerned for his sister, and when the opportunity presented itself he made a secret and short trip back to his home planet to visit his family. When he was there he was welcomed as a guest of honor by his family, and despite not having seen each other since they were infants, Isena and Inarin nonetheless instantly recognized who each other were and their single combat bout left no doubts in eithers mind. Offering some wise advice about how to manage her emotions and potential in the force, and gave her simple instructions on meditation and centering. Inarin then left as quickly as he came, returning to the Order to focus on his duties. Heeding her brothers advice, Isena began meditating on the force ,reaching out to feel the life force of the citizens and animals of her homeworld, feeling their emotions, mindsets, and sometimes surface level thoughts. For many years this training assisted her in managing her powers but they came to a violent and abrupt end when she found herself flooded with thoughts of fear, anger, betrayal, guilt, and grief. The great Jedi Purge had begun and she could feel it happening. She shut herself down to prevent being overwhelmed. When it was over, she found she was unable to sense her brother at all, and when news of the purge reached her she feared the worst. It was the first time in memory she had not felt him through their force bond, and she felt a nauseating mix of sadness and fear. Her family prevented her from leaving to search for him though. She was weakened, and the galaxy was very dangerous for force users right now. A few years later, unable to simply move on from her loss, Isena smuggled herself offworld and began to search the galaxy for news of the fate of Inarin. Death was the most likely possibility but she couldn't even find confirmation of that in any official record, nor find his name on any list of "Traitorous Jedi" that the new Empire began publishing. She searched for several years, getting by as a mercenary for hire, offering her services as a skilled combatant to anyone who was heading where she needed to go, hitching rides and smuggling herself across the galaxy. Eventually she came across a promising lead in the form of a man who said he could help her. Sensing her force sensitivity, the man began asking her seemingly innocuous but very important questions. She answered hesitantly but when he was satisfied he told her of the Jensaari, an order of force users that could help her develop her talents further and, potentially, restore her bond with her brother. Not missing a beat she hitched a ride to Susevfi to seek them out. Upon arriving there and meeting with the Jensaari, who knew all about her from their recruiter, Spereia Stropia took her as an apprentice. Raised in a Matriarchal society Isena took to having a female master well, and dedicates herself to her masters tutelage with discipline and devotion, hoping to one day learn enough to find Inarin. Physical description and personality Shorter than the average human, Isena nonetheless possesses great strength and agility for her size, a result of the constant ritualized combat she engages in with everyone who consents to sparring. Her white hair and silver eyes are standard features for her species, and telling her apart from any of her siblings is difficult. Kindhearted to a fault, Isenas sensitivity to the emotions of those around her have made her kind, generous, and loving. She seeks to improve the wellbeing of everyone she meets, that she may reap the benefits of their positive emotions pouring into her. Force and Order specific background Master: Spereia Stropia Form: Form V Shien Lightsaber: Guard shoto Archetype: Defensive, support, sensory Details: Isenas innate combat senses as an Echani are enhanced by her force sensitivity, enabling her to predict the moves of those she engages in direct combat with with almost pinpoint accuracy. Her force enhanced empathy is one of her more powerful abilities letting her understand and sympathize with those around her, making her excellent at conflict resolution. With enough training she hopes to be able to share this ability between others, letting them understand each other through her. With much focus, training, and meditation, she may even be able to read specific thoughts. Guard Shoto: While preferring hand to hand combat in the Echani style, Isena carries a Guard Shoto style lightsaber to deal with blaster fire and rivals with Lightsabers. Its longer lightsaber resistant handle makes it better for defense, which is her primary focus in battle. When she is able to forge her own Cortosis armor she hopes it’s lightsaber resistant material will enable her to engage lightsaber users in hand to hand combat.

Izokh Hyssk Name: Izokh Hyssk Species: Trandoshan Gender: Male Age: 20 Homeworld: Trandosha   Physical Description: Standing at only about 1.74 metres tall, Izokh is a bit undersized for a Trandoshan. However, don't let his slight frame fool you, for he hasn't made it this far in life by being a pushover. He is still capable of holding his own even against other Trandoshans or Wookies, even without the aid of his Force powers or lightsaber. His skin colouring, of mottled greens and yellows, allowed him to to blend in easier to the forests and jungles back home, and cause him to prefer the few forests of Susevfi over the numerous plains and savannahs of the world. Izokh's arms end in four thinner fingers, over the three stubbier fingers more common among the Trandonshans, allowing him easier access and more flexibility with his lightsaber. As for apparel, Izokh generally prefers the flexibility and athleticism allowed by looser fitting garb over the restriction provided by body armour, and as such can usually be found in dark robes, or loose trousers and long jackets.   Personality: Calmer than he once was, Izokh still often feels the urges to fall into a deep rage, destroying everything around him in these fits. Luckily now, he has breathing techniques taught to him by his Master to calm down his boiling blood, but that can still not be enough. Izokh harbours a deep-seeded distrust of other Trandoshans, bordering on hatred, and is more likely to kill one first before asking any questions, or at least dismembering them. Those grow back anyway. Despite his hatred of his own kind, Izokh still keeps with many of Trandoshan traditions, including life debts, jagannath points, and the worship of the Scorekeeper. In fact, as his life was lost to him before his inclusion in the Jensaarai, he considers his Master Ivik Po-Machi to also be his ghrakhowsk for giving him a chance at a new one. A fierce combatant, his aggressive fighting style can be seen at times as excessive by others within the Jensaarai, but none can say that his methods aren't effective.   General Background: The runt of a large group of clutchmates, Izokh learned from an early age that, if one was to survive, one must be willing to fight. And fight he did, for food, for water, for a safe place to rest his head. But, due to his comparatively diminutive stature next to his clutchmates, he often was still left hungry and sore. That is, until his Force powers began to truly develop. Beginning as more of another sense, allowing him to sense danger before it happened, his new Force abilities gave Izokh enough of an edge over his clutchmates that he began to finally eat properly, sleep comfortably, and thrive. For the first time in his young life, Izokh knew was it was like to feel full, rested, and happy. However, this joyful period in the young Trandoshan's life was not to last. Word had begun to spread about the youngling's abilities, and how similar they were to the Jedi. Knowing that his continued presence may bring unwanted attention from the Jedi Council, Izokh was brought to the moon Wasskah and given a choice: run and survive to be hunted another day or fight now and earn his freedom, as well as a ship, as long as he promised to never return. Izokh, frightened and remembering the days of his early youth, took off and disappeared into the dense forest. Over the years, many tried to capture the young Force-sensitive Trandoshan, and all managed to fail, some not even escaping with their lives. Gradually, Izokh was learning that to survive was not just to fight: one must also be willing to kill, before the opponent was given the chance to. Armed with his attunement to the Force and a traditional Trandoshan Double-Bladed Sword he had stolen off of his first kill, Izokh's presence on the Island Four game reserve became one of the features that made it be known for its dangerousness, as he seemed to strike from nowhere and disappear just as quickly into the shadows. Garnac, the proprietor of the reserve, began to use these resulting increased profits to obtain more and more dangerous prey, including Jedi younglings, no doubt to see how they would interact with a Force-seensitive Trandoshan. While this move would ultimately prove to be Garnac's undoing and lead to his demise, it would also provide Izokh with an alternative to living out the rest of his days on this prison world. Though he chose not to join the Jedi younglings in their fight against the game masters, he did take note of their presence on his island, and often followed them silently, listening in on their conversations as they talked about their home on Coruscant and the others like them. Excited at the news that not only was he not alone in his powers, but there also may be those who could teach him how to use them, he began to make plans for his escape. Soon after, he was given the opportunity, as Garnac and his forces were decimated after the arrival of a Padawan and a Wookie seemed to bring the whole of the Wookie army upon them, and in the ensuing chaos, stole a single person scouting vessel and punched in the coordinates of Coruscant. Upon his arrival to Coruscant, Izokh ignored the stares, not knowing or particularly caring that his homeworld had allied themselves with the Separatists, and made his way directly to the Jedi Temple. He knew he must be behind on his training, and it was with high hopes that he walked up the steps, ready to embrace his destiny. Unfortunately, it was not to be. The Jedi Masters present were kind were they sat him down to give him the bad news, but quite insistent. Jedi training, because of its peculiar nature, could only be started at a much younger age than he was now. Additionally, though they didn't choose to share this with the young Trandoshan, they were also concerned with the savage culture his race had been known for, as well as the deeper, darker feelings they felt within him. And so, kindly but firmly, they maintained their position, and turned him away. Spurned by both his own race and the only other Force-sensitive peoples he knew in the galaxy, Izokh gave up on finding his own place, and worked instead to begin carving on out for himself. He began to work as a bounty hunter and smuggler, using his powers to gain an edge on his opponents, and using his physical might, developed after years on Wasskah, to finish the job. It was under this capacity that he found himself on a distant moon, on the lookout for a Twi'lek who had made off with something important to the Hutts. He felt a force similar to those many years ago, when he was among the Jedi on Coruscant, before Order 66 purged the majority from them from the world. Similar to the Jedi, but not quite the same. After searching for some time, he was finally able to track down a Caamasi by the name of Ivik Po'Machi. The two bonded over the trauma of their pasts, of never being able to truly return home, and thus never knowing their place in the galaxy. It was only after they had become familiar enough with each other that they felt comfortable revealing their Force-sensitive abilities to each other. And only after that that Ivik began to talk about a world where Force-sensitives like them could be at home, a place for those outcasted by all those that should call them friend or family. Izokh leaned in close as Ivik began to tell him of the Jensaarai and their home on Susevfi.   Force and Order specific background: Master: Ivik Po'Machi; Gorga (fighting style only) Fighting Style: Form V (Shien) Lightsaber: Double-Bladed Lightsaber, modeled after the traditional Trandoshan Double-Bladed Sword Izokh's arrival on Susevfi was met with a little trepidation, as Trandoshans are generally feared for their strength and volatile nature. However, it was quickly evidenced how much of a calming influence Ivik was over Izokh's mind, and Izokh was quick to be welcomed into their society, his size, strength, and affinity for wooded areas making him a quick asset for the growing village. His Force powers remain mainly focused on sensory abilities, though his years as a bounty hunter have also forced him to focus on using it in an offensive capacity as well. Recently, Ivik has been teaching him to focus more on his internal and defensive abilities, though Izokh still believes in his heart of hearts that the best defense is still a relentless offense. The recent schism within the Jensaarai was a bit of a cause for distress, if only because Izokh didn't understand the inherent wrongness of the Dwomutsaarai and their need for more power. The only reason he didn't join them, and instead followed Ivik into the Jenwai Midwan was due to his life debt, and he is gradually warming to the situation, enjoying the role of emissary over warrior for once in his life, though he still often wonders how powerful he would be now if he had followed the others and learned more about the ways of the Sith.   Izokh Hyssk Trandoshan Male Jensaarai Apprentice DEXTERITY 3D+2 Lightsaber 4D+2 Lightsaber (Double-Bladed Lightsaber) 5D+2 Melee Combat (Double-Bladed Sword) 4D+2 Running 4D+2 KNOWLEDGE 2D Streetwise 3D Survival 3D Survival (Jungle) 4D MECHANICAL 2D+1 PERCEPTION 3D+1 Hide 4D+1 Investigation 4D+1 Sneak 4D+1 STRENGTH 3D+1 Lifting 4D+1 TECHNICAL 1D Cortosis Armor Repair/Engineering 3D Lightsaber Repair/Engineering 3D Special Abilities: Control 1D+1 (Control Difficulty: Moderate Effect: A Jedi uses this power to increase a single attribute for a limited period. An increased attribute can help a Jedi jump higher, see better, and run faster. All skills governed by the enhanced attribute increase by the same amount for as long as the power remains in effect. An attribute increased by this power remains enhanced for the duration listed below. Duration and attribute increase are determined by how much a character’s control skill roll exceeds the difficulty number. Duration can be extended through the use of Character Points – for every Character Point a Jedi spends, the duration is increased by one combat round. The points can be spent at any time before the power fades. A Jedi can only increase one attribute at a time. If a character invokes the power to enhance a second attribute while the first attribute is still enhanced, then the first enhancement fades and the second attribute receives the increase. Skill Roll > Attribute Difficulty By Duration/Increase 0-13 +1D / 3 rounds 14-25 +2D / 2 rounds 26+ +3D / 1 roundEnhance Attribute, Control Difficulty: Easy if the Jedi is relaxed and at peace; Difficult if the Jedi is filled with aggression, fear, or other negative emotions; Very Difficult if the Jedi is acting on the negative emotions. Effect: When using this power, Jedi clear all negative thoughts from their minds, feeling the Force flowing through the universe and their own being. The individual Jedi concentrates on one specific task at hand. If the skill roll is successful, the Jedi may add +4D to any one action in that round. The Jedi may do nothing other than using the concentration power and using that one skill for a single action. The Jedi receives no bonus if anything else is done in that round, including duplicate uses of the same skill or dodges or parries. This power may be used in conjunction with Force Points and Character Points. This power is only in effect for one round and may not be kept up.Concentration) Sense 1D+2 (Sense Difficulty: Very Easy if the subject has Force skills or is Force-sensitive; Moderate if not. Modified by relationship. This power may be kept up. Effect: This power allows the Jedi to detect the location of sentient beings who might otherwise remain hidden from their normal senses. When the power is activated, the Jedi knows the location of all sentients within 10 meters – if the power is kept up, the Jedi may know whenever a sentient approaches within 10 meters of them or vice versa. When the Jedi approaches or is approached by a sentient being, the character makes a sense roll and each sentient creature makes an opposed control or Perception roll to avoid detection. Both actions are “free” actions and don’t count as a skill use (and thus there are no die code penalties except those caused by injury). If a tie occurs, the Jedi detects the creature in question. If Jedi beats the target’s roll by 10 or more points, the Jedi is aware if the person has Force skills (yes or no), is Force-sensitive (yes or no), or if they have met before (yes or no), and if yes, what their identity is.Life Detection, Sense Difficulty: Very Easy. Modified by proximity and relationship. Required Ability: Life detection This power may be kept up to track a target. Effect: The user can sense the presence and identity of a specific person for whom he searches. The user can sense how badly wounded, diseased, or otherwise physically disturbed the target is. A target may use the control skill to hide his identity from the Jedi uses life sense. The character’s control skill is added to the senser’s difficulty.Life Sense) Control and Sense 3D (Control Difficulty: Moderate Sense Difficulty: Easy. This power may be “kept up”. Effect: To use a lightsaber most effectively, a Jedi learns this power. The Jedi uses this power both to wield this elegant but difficult-to-control weapon while also sensing his opponent’s actions through his connection to the Force. This power is called upon at the start of a battle and remains up until the Jedi is stunned or injured; a Jedi who has been injured or stunned may attempt to bring the power back up. If the Jedi is successful in using this power, the Jedi adds his sense dice to his lightsaber skill roll when trying to hit a target or parry, and he adds or subtracts up to the number of his control dice to the lightsaber’s 5D damage when it hits in combat. Players must decide how many control dice they are adding or subtracting before they roll damage. If the Jedi fails the power roll, he must use the lightsaber with only his lightsaber skill to hit and the weapon’s normal damage in combat and he cannot attempt to use the power again for the duration of the combat. Finally, the Jedi may use lightsaber combat to parry blaster bolts as a “reaction skill.” To do this, the character must declare that he is parrying that round, using his lightsaber skill as normal. The Jedi may also attempt to control where deflected blaster bolts go; this is a reaction skill and counts as an additional action. (The Jedi cannot full parry when trying to control deflected bolts.) The Jedi must declare which specific shot he is controlling. Then, once the roll is made to see if the blaster bolt was parried by the Jedi, the Jedi makes a control roll, with the difficulty being his new target’s dodge or the range (figured from the Jedi to his target). The damage is that of the original blaster bolt.Lightsaber Combat) Racial Abilities (Trandoshans’ vision includes the ability to see in the infrared spectrum. They can see in darkness with no penalty, provided there are heat sources.Vision, Trandoshans have poor manual dexterity. They have considerable difficulty performing actions which require precise finger movement and they suffer a penalty of −2D whenever they attempt an action of this kind. In addition, they also have some difficulty using weaponry that requires a substantially smaller finger such as blasters and blaster rifles; most weapons used by Trandoshans have had their finger guards removed or redesigned to allow for the Trandoshan’s use.Clumsy, Younger Trandoshans can regenerate lost limbs (fingers, arms, legs and feet). This ability disappears as the Trandoshan ages. Once per day, the Trandoshan must make a Moderate Strength or stamina roll. Success means that the limb regenerates by ten percent. Failure indicates that the regeneration does not occur.Regeneration) Story Factors (Izokh has long-standing feelings of betrayal and hatred towards the Trandoshan race. When encountering Trandoshans or known Trandoshan associates, he must make a Moderate willpower check to keep from attacking.Trandoshan Hate, The Trandoshans are known as a belligerent species.

If used with only a single blade projected, a double-bladed lightsaber is treated as if it were a normal lightsaber. If properly trained, a Jedi wielding a double-bladed lightsaber gains a +5 bonus to all parry rolls made when both lightsaber blades are extended. If an attacking character misses the difficulty number by more than 10 points (the base difficulty; not their opponent’s parry total), the character has injured himself with the lightsaber. Apply normal damage to the character wielding the lightsaber.Double-Bladed Lightsaber +2 Stamina when resisting extreme weatherAll-temperature cloak Medpac Glow rod 50km range or up to low orbit in good weatherPersonal comlink Scale: Character Skill: Melee combat: double-bladed sword Cost: 300 (includes shoulder scabbard) Difficulty: Difficult Damage: STR+1D (max: 6D) Game Notes: Characters with the double-bladed sword specialization gain a +5 bonus to melee parry rolls.

[DraconigenaArma]

Name: Gil Dangir
Species: Human
Gender: Male
Age: 35
Homeworld: Serenno

General Background:
Born of modest means on Serenno to a rural, backwoods working family his father worked as a mechanic at a logging camp and his mother worked part-time doing data entry and medical billing over the holonet so she could help raise the family. The eldest of four, Gil took the big brother role seriously, especially when times were lean and he had to help supplement with everything from hunting to running spice through the backcountry and forests, to learning to fly to help run people and things off world. He managed to eke out a full course of schooling, though he spent as much time working for his father and helping raise his siblings as he did on his education. A robust, adventurous young man Gil never considered the hectic and busy life a burden.

Tragedy befell Gil when an explosion killed most of his family. His father was tinkering on a personal project in the attached garage and a fuel containment failure caused the engine he was working on to explode, exacerbated by the volatile materials in a backyard machine shop which lacks all the controls and protocols of a professional shop. The ensuing blast and fire tore through the house, claiming not just his father but his mother and his second youngest brother. The heightened scrutiny of the disaster brought unwanted attention to their other forms of income. The somewhat corrupt local law enforcement could no longer turn a blind eye to the doings of the Dangir clan, and so Gil and his brother fled.

After a few years of journeying around the outer rim doing hired gun style work, Gil’s brother Tom found a girl and settled down on a backwater moon where no one would ever come looking for them. Gil, on the other hand, had developed a meager reputation as an honest crook, the kind of smuggler that holds an obnoxiously questions-asked kind of policy, but also one who can get in and out of sticky situations. He’s known for being a good teammate, and decent company during down time. As an old backwoods kid he has a rustic skillset many spacers lack. Most of all he has a tenacity to never give up and to never quit. He’s not above playing dirty to win, but avoids it when he can. He is loyal to his friends and companions and brave in the face of adversity.

Physical description and personality:
Gil Dangir is a tall man, 2 m even, with an athletic build and decent posture. His brown hair is kept short enough to stuff under a helmet without getting in his eyes, but is otherwise unkempt and a bit scruffy. He does keep his face clean shaven. His left cheek is pitted with some small stippling scars. When he can he tends towards dressing in civilian inspired attire. He has a tendency towards pants with scarlet and red piping and waist length jackets in double breasted style. His color pallet leans towards dark greens and browns. When he wears shoes they are usually hiking style shoes or military low boots with his pants bloused over them, or he wears knee high boots with the pants tucked in. He is the type of person to wear both a low slung blaster on one hip at the thigh, and a knife on the other side. Whenever he is planetside for something mission or expeditionary oriented, especially if it is anything involving nature, he dresses in a far more military fashion with appropriate camouflaged poncho or trench coat, combat boots, and other paramilitary paraphernalia.

Force and Order specific background:
Gil is not a jedi, or a member of any force sensitive order despite being an (unwitting) force sensitive himself. His ties to Jensaari would be fairly nonexistent, except they are the type of people he would naturally band together with when circumstances require it. As a man who’s mostly a good guy at heart, thrust into unfortunate situations where tough decisions need to be made and difficult actions undertaken to survive, his guiding philosophy in life is similar to the Jensaari – if not as well defined. Since he likes to think the ends can justify the means as long as the ends are just, he would find the corruption of the order’s founder as an unfortunate tragedy, as he’s seen time and time again when people who fly too close to the sun get burned. The goal of making a force sensitive character who doesn’t use the force yet is entirely an artifact of meshing with the particulars of this game. However, if he does begin to explore the use of the force due to his new friends, he would notice that what he previously described simply as an overdeveloped sense of inner discipline and resolve is, in fact, the force. Thus he would focus mostly on control force skills, continuing to develop his internal strengths as opposed to the flashier telekinetic or telepathic abilities.

Additional Originally Posted by Phettberg Our story takes place only six years or so after the Clone Wars, so I was wondering if your Character left Seranno before or after Seranno became a separatist hotbed. It sounds like he certainly did not end up fighting or anything like that, but it may inform his view on the empire as it is now. Good question, he'd have left to go be an outer rim fringer long before Dooku turned his palace into a Separatist stronghold. Gil would be in his mid twenties by the time the Clone Wars officially started, and in my head I see him as a young adult when he flees the authorities, since the decade before the war is a more plausible time for the planet to care about local affairs of petty criminals vs. the outward focus of the politics of the war. It is my goal to avoid actual military or governmental influence in his character - he's a good shot with a rifle because he's a hunter not because he's an ex-republic sniper; he's a decent spacer because he's a blockade runner not because he's a former Imperial pilot, he's a capable operator not because he's a former special ops solider, but because he's a scrappy survivor in the lawless, dangerous outer rim. Etc. I think this creates a better Jayne Cobb / Malcom Reynolds style "let's be bad guys" good guy personality, which my gut says makes a good "muggle" fit for a group of Jensaarai defenders and knights. Similar to the borderline resigned "that's a shame" attitude he would have toward the corruption of the founder, he lives in a mindset where governments are more trouble than they're worth. The rise of the Empire, the cleansing of the great houses on Serenno, etc. are all just confirmations of his stance towards loyalty to his friends, his team, over organizations. Of course this isn't the only thing that can fit, but it's what I am gravitating towards as a good way to play the martially oriented, rustic spacer type I would like to do, and in the context of the game.

Appearance: Dark red skinned and a stocky build, standing at 5ft 1 in his heavily buckled leather boots which no-one can ever recall him not wearing. Dressed in black combat trousers, a leather waistcoat with an open-necked shirt underneath, and a heavy duster. Add a blaster and cutlass, and finally, a woollen cap fashioned around his short front horns. Navas generally has a half interested look on his face, which comes from a long history of casual mistrust. Initially from those he encounters making assumptions about his honesty and trustworthiness in business (which may or not have some basis in reality) and latterly because, in the current climate, often it pays not to seem too interested. Dark hair, yellow eyes and sharp teeth can also give him an intimidating look, especially to hose unfamiliar with Devaronians.

Personality: Despite his initial appearance, Navas T'rig is calm, add thoughtful, easy-going but with an underlying cynicism for anything which will interfere with his freedom. This he values overall, and it has guided his life. Morally he likes to give the impression he is open to anything but in truth, he has grown up with the matriarchal values of his society and appreciates the balance between personal freedoms and structure which needs to be in place to support these. Having said that, he is far more comfortable with a more 'outer rim' lifestyle, having grown up under a watchful Imperial eye in the colony planets

Background: The T'rig family (his mother's surname) grew up running a short haul shuttle transport business out of Montellian Serat. His mother ran the business, and his father was a pilot in their employ before they fell in love and married. By the time Navas was born, his father was much older than his mother and prone to long, quiet spells. He had travelled in his younger years but very rarely spoke about his experiences. This only fed Navas's imagination of what wonders lay further out in space, and he spent all of his spare time helping and loitering around their spaceport and the other pilots.

The first time he went missing, it took nearly a week and two planets to track him down. He was 12 and had stowed away on one of the company transports. He loved the new experiences, new people, and of course the ships. As he grew, this appetite for travelling only grew stronger, and while he gained much experience flying for his mother, he still felt curtailed. With a growing impact on personal freedoms, Navas began to sense his future lay outwith his current circumstances.

This desire to roam was curtailed somewhat when the clone wars erupted around him. Separatist activity had impacted on several of their routes and Navas began to learn how to avoid necessary military attention. This required some forays into illegal activity and while he did not take to the life completely, it had opened his horizons. He watched on as countless innocents were killed during the battle of Devaron, less concern for who ultimately would win and more for the damage this conflict was causing on his family and others. Deciding that his path lay elsewhere, Navas left and travelled towards the outer rim in an attempt to leave the war behind and carve a new life for himself.

His parents were sad to see him go, but true to his nature, a Devaronian male is heavy prone to seeking adventure, and the outer rim was definitely where he saw his future.

His experiences since have put him at odds with the empire on more than one occasion, gaining a reputation for taking riskier jobs if they appealed to him, either for the audacity value, or on a humanitarian level he could pass off loosely as profit. Navas has mainly flown small cargo freighters or as a combat outrider to protect others in convoy or running imperial blockades. His reputation is of someone who will keep you safe or keep your cargo intact and unmolested, as long as he likes you and your cause appeals to him. It’s never just about the money. He’s a sucker for the right cause.

He has flown with and for pirates when it suited, he has taken part in operations to provide tactical intel and scouting support for some rebel factions but never action directly against the empire. He has no illusions of how that might end and is not sure enough about his commitment.

I would imagine he has many varied contacts feeding him potential jobs but hasn’t stayed with the same group or area for too long.
