[CHAR] Star Wars: Enclaves

[DirtyDingo]

Name: Luthor Antilles
Species: Human
Gender: Male
Age: 42
Height: 6'1
Weight: 170lbs
Class: Jedi Master
Position: Head of the Council
Primary Strength: Lightsaber Combat

Appearance: Luthor's skin is a relatively tanned caucasian and his hair black, his hair is rather long, falling down to the back of his neck and kept slicked back over the top of his head. In addition to this, he keeps a finely trimmed beard. Luthor's eyes are blue.



Weapons: Luthor, being an excellent wielder of paired lightsabers, carries two with him at all times. His first saber, which is dual-phased and has a blue Jenraux crystal, contains advanced components such as an improved fencing emitter and an Ossus dueling lens. His second makes use of a green Upari crystal. Both feature angled wraparound guards and have larger hilts than an ordinary lightsaber. This is because they can magnetise together and form a double-bladed lightsaber with a far longer handle, allowing a user to elect to use the weapon as a kind of short spear.

Additionally, Luthor is armed with a third lightsaber which features a curved hilt, constructed around a fragment of a Rancor's tusk and is powered by a Qixoni crystal. The deep crimson blade would often bring him under fire before the days of the enclave. Though even now there are a select few who disagree with his use of the crystal. This blade is his primary weapon, and rarely uses his other two for singular weapon fighting.

Armor/Clothing/Equipment: Luthor wears a set of typical tan set of Jedi robes beneath a dark brown Baran Do cloak with a pair of study leather boots upon his feet. Aside from these items of clothing, Luthor has no need for anything else.

Skills/Abilities:

- Luthor's abilities with the force are very much confined to the telekinesis aspect in addition to a few 'darker' powers. However of these abilities, he has an unrivalled understanding.

- Luthor, having studied under the greatest duellists in the galaxy for years, is a highly proficient user of the Form II and V lightsaber techniques. Being able to utilise every aspect of the Makashi, Shien and Djem So variants.

- Controversial as his ideology may be, Luthor's teachings within his enclave allow for the use of powers and disciplines that were traditionally considered 'dark side' techniques, of course under strict supervision from those knights trusted enough with such knowledge. This speaks volumes about his character, more so even than his combat capabilities.

- One of Luthor's greatest talents is defensive fighting, as such he is able to deflect most blaster shots.

_____________________________________

Background:

Born on the smuggler's refuge of Keyorin, both Luthor's mother and father were highly notorious Sith marauders. As a result of this, a child's understanding of the force was imparted upon the boy from a very young age, something that in later in life would literally set him ahead of the class. Kyrie and Myra Antilles however, were still wanted by the Jedi order.

As such, when Luthor was three years old, a Jedi Knight came to the planet. Having received an anonymous tip that there was a Sith 'base' in the slums of the hunter's world. He spent months traversing the dark alleyways, shady cantinas and speaking with criminals all willing to sell each other out for a few creds. Due to the reputation the Antilles family had, none were too eager to condemn them. But of course eventually, someone did. This lead to the knight's discovery of the two Sith and his eventual victory against the two.

When the Jedi came upon Luthor however, he could sense him in the force. And immediately the knight knew that he had yet to be touched by the dark side of the force. Because of this, the knight took him to the Jedi Enclave on Dantooine, where for eight years he trained as an initiate. Preparing himself for the trials that he would face at ten years old. The trials that would shape who Luthor was as a person.

At age six, the youngling had successfully managed to memorise the Jedi Code, being able to refer to any of the tenets at a moments notice. As an initiate, Luthor showed much promise in the field of lightsaber combat, being the best duelist of his age on the planet. For four more years the boy trained his mind and his skills, until the day of his tenth birthday. When he underwent the Initiate Trials.

The first test was second nature for him, the council attempted to test his knowledge of the Jedi code. This of course was a challenge at which the child could not fail, for he had known the code back-to-front for the past four years. Bordering five.

Luthor's second test, was to assemble a lightsaber. However, due to the involvement of the Jedi Knight whom had saved the infant years ago. The lightsaber he assembled was his father's. (Although it's red crystal had been changed to a blue one.) This was initially an idea the council disapproved of, but due to the knight's insistence they allowed the act to go on.

For the third test, like all initiates at the Dantooine enclave, Luthor had to see the dark side for himself. The Knight could think of no place better to send the soon-to-be padawan to, than his birthplace. However due to a possibility of bias and training requirements at the enclave, Luthor had to be accompanied by a Jedi Knight from another academy. The name of the knight overseeing his interaction with the dark side, was Xan-Rhu-Tor.

Upon arrival, Luthor walked through the building and looked at the scene which had clearly seen violence. Completely unaware that this was where he was born, or that it was the place his parents died. After a few minutes, Luthor sat down in the room's center and began his meditation, feeling the energies of the dark side, but being cautious as to keep them out of his mind at the same time.

It was during his meditation, that he heard whispers of Sith incantations muttered by both his father and his mother. That was when his test was concluded and he was returned to Dantooine once more. Upon arrival back at the enclave, Luthor shared his experience and how it affected him with the council, who, after telling him his true origins, congratulated the boy that he was ready to become the apprentice to a Jedi Knight.

It was at this point, that Xan himself stepped forward to take on the young Luthor as his padawan, seeing great potential and much of his own skillset within the Human child. Taking him off to Ossus for further training and study there, at his own praxeum, where he could bestow his teachings much more comfortably. For a year, Luthor studied the Shien variant of Form Five, doubling his skill with a lightsaber in that time. It was at the end of that year, that Xan told Luthor to create a second lightsaber, for optimisation of his prowess.

Years went by, and it goes without saying that Luthor soared through the ranks of the Jedi; taking part in many a campaign on many different worlds across the galaxy. Eventually however, came the outbreak of the Mandalorian Wars. It was in this time of peril and segregation throughout the Jedi order, the ever-zealous young Luthor did not hesitate to move to the side of Revan, helping to take the fight to the Mandalorians. For five long years, Luthor fought his way across numerous battlefields, slaughtering Sith and Mandalorian soldiers alike, he was like a machine. Decimating any who would dare stand before him.

It was not until the battle for the forest moon of Dxun, that the knights of the old republic were halted in their efforts.

The plan went to hell almost immediately, with the initial droid assault unable to eliminate a substantial amount of anti-air defenses, the battle was lost almost before it began. But nevertheless in his arrogance, the young commander demanded to be allowed to continue with the assault. For half a standard galactic year the fighting went on, until eventually the fighting ground to a halt. Were it not for the intervention of the bulk of Revan's forces, Luthor, along with the rest of the ground forces would have died that day.

When it was all said and done, Revan's forces had gained a victory, but a pyrrhic one at best. With a huge majority of his forces destroyed, Republic forces were forced to cease their advance into Mandalorian space; allowing Mandalore the Ultimate's forces crucial time to
recover.

Years went by as both forces recovered, until eventually the war came to it's peak at the battle of Malachor V. Here, Mandalore had goaded Revan into a pitched space battle above the planet. The result was the bloodiest battle since the Dxun Dropsite Massacre. Neither side seemed to be winning due to the heavy losses being sustained, eventually; Luthor, ever at Revan's side was there when Mandalore struck him down. This crushed the morale of the entire fleet, and so Antilles boarded aboard the ship under his command, the Stalwart Fury, along with his personal retinue.

The ensuing shift in the battle's balance allowed those in the Mandalorian fleet whom had survived to decimate the remaining Republic forces. However, the fleeing survivors under Antilles returned to Coruscant and informed the Jedi and Republic alike of the atrocities that had taken place. Allowing them to prepare the defense of Coruscant.

The Mandalorian response was swift and decisive, and almost all pockets of resistance were snuffed out immediately. Only the Jedi Temple stood for longer than a day, but even that bastion of defiance fell under the wrath of the ultimate. On the final day, the high council deemed that to ensure the survival of the Jedi order, the most powerful and zealous of the Jedi would be sent off to establish new, hidden Enclaves around the galaxy. So that one day, the order may rise anew.

Luthor Antilles, with the newly bestowed title of Jedi Master, was one such individual.

Fast forward another six years, and the unchartered snow planet of Valkaina hides deep beneath it's surface the enclave established by the former Republic commander, is flourishing.

[cunfuzzler]

Name: Mazai "Maz" Kiro
Species: Nautolan
Gender: Female
Age: 32
Height: 5'1"
Weight: 110lbs
Class: Jedi Consular
Position: Librarian/Council Member

Primary Strengths: Maz is particularly skilled at force persuasion and as a Nautolan is naturally almost unparalleled in underwater activities.

Appearance:

Weapons: Maz is pretty simple when it comes to weapons only wielding one single chartreuse bladed lightsaber.

Armor/Clothing/Equipment: Maz wears standard Jedi robes, though since the Sacking she typically wears a one-piece swimsuit underneath as well just in case. She also owns a Gungan personal shield she acquired as a young Knight while on Naboo studying the ancient culture of her fellow amphibian species.

Skills/Abilities:

- While Maz does avoid fighting where at all possible and is not very varied in her lightsaber combat abilities she is very skilled at Soresu form.

- Maz uses the force to enhance her natural Nautolan affinity for Empathy, while not particularly useful for combat, combined with her proficiency in force persuasion it has allowed her to avoid some otherwise inevitable combat.

- As a somewhat zealous Jedi Maz does resent the use of any Dark Side force powers. Herself sticking to basic telekinetic ability and non-lethal abilities such as force light and force blinding in combat.

Background: Born and raised on Glee Anselm Maz never saw a single non-Nautolan until the day a Quarren Jedi arrived in her town and sensed the presence of the Force in her. She didn't come from much, just average working-class Nautolans, conflict had mostly avoided the watery planet since most of the war-like species tended to care more for actual land than the war sunny beaches and endless seas of her home. Her family was more than willing to give her the opportunity to become a Jedi as it was more than they had ever dreamed for her.

Leaving Glee Anselm was fascinating for her young mind, she travelled to Coruscant and saw species and technology she couldn't have imagine in her wildest dreams before. She was only five when she set herself to a goal of learning everything she could about the galaxy, she wanted to absorb all the knowledge she possibly could about every planet, every species, every culture, all of it.

During her years as a youngling on Coruscant Maz proved herself an exceptional student while not a natural at some of the more physically demanding rigors the Jedi she was determined to succeed to give herself the opportunity to see the galaxy. And she did, by the time it was time for her to go under the tutelage of a Jedi Knight she had already something of a reputation as a studious pupil even if somewhat lacking in physical proficiency.

She was taken under the wing an older Fosh Jedi who called herself Teren, for the most part her time as a padawan was uneventful compared to many. For the most part she accompanied her master on mostly diplomatic missions. Though that isn't to say they didn't encounter their fair share of scraps along the way, though her master did make sure to provide plenty of difficulty for her in lieu of actual combat. Nightly sparring matches became a routine with a new ruleset every night one night she would have to singe a feather on her master's body, while the next would see her defending from an onslaught of force thrown rocks while blindfolded, and then another night she would be quizzed on Jedi history where every missed answer meant a half-hour of defending from a relentless barrage of attacks from her master. She would have been a liar to say the tests did not grate on her though she assumed that was the point.

By the time Maz achieved the rank of Jedi Knight the initial skirmished with the Mandalorians were beginning though she was determined to avoid the conflict wherever possible instead hoping to serve the Order in less combative ways. Wanting to become a researcher for the Jedi rather than a fighter she managed to avoid combat for the first few years of the conflict, earning the ire of some of the more conflict oriented Jedi in the Order.

Unfortunately that could only last so long and once the war was fully underway the Order couldn't afford to have a young knight researching Ancient Gungan ruins. She was eventually assigned to several battles once it had become obvious the war was not going to be something that could be won without the full attention of the Jedi. And in those battles she proved herself a capable warrior often routing small forces on her own.

After the battle of Malachor V though it became apparent that the Mandalorians would likely be victorious in the end. She was one of several Jedi called to Coruscant in the days before the sacking, several ships were filled with copies of as much of the Jedi Archives as they could manage. Before being sent to the secret enclaves throughout the galaxy, herself being on one such ship bound for the Enclave of the in her eyes radical, Master Antilles.

The Native

Aether

Character Summary

Name: Aether Oath Ether
Age: 23
Place of Origin: Valkaina
Species: Mirialan
Height: 5'8
Weight: 72kg
Gender: Female
Class: Jedi Knight
Position Tutor of the Force and survival; ace pilot.

Skills, Weapons and Abilities

Weapons: Aether wields two cyan-coloured blades, one of which having an unsteady lightsaber core, resulting in it sparking and shimmering. The stable core saber boasts a sleeker design and is the blade Aether is most familiar with. She wields this blade in her right hand in a reverse grip, the blade held backwards. On the other hand, the unstable core lightsaber is held menacingly in her left; the blade once belonged to her master, and thus she doesn't truly have much experience in wielding it. The hilt is shorter and larger, likely better suited for her master, though has a stronger grip to it. It also tends to be attracted to enemy blades, likely a result of the crystal within and it's power.
Saber Skills: Aether lacks a great deal in the saber department, as very little of her training actually involved saber combat. Her fighting style involves elements of Soresu (form III) and Ataru (form IV), using quick movements to make decisive, defensive blocks, parries, and counters, along with swift and agile attacks to best her opponent. It generally revolves around simple hit-and-run tactics, using Soresu skills to defend against sabers and even blasters, and Ataru to deal swift strikes when openings arise. Due to Aether not fully mastering both styles, she can be easily overpowered or worn out if her opponent deals a relentless assault, and is more likely to use the Force to aid her in dangerous confrontations.
Force Skills Telekinesis, Mind Tricks, Force Shield, Electric Judgement, Force Deflection, Tapas, Doppelganger, Breath Control, All Core Abilities, Battle Precognition, Force Wave, Alter Environment, Force Healing, Revitalize, and Transcend. Suffice to say, Aether is about as skilled as a Master when it comes to the Force. While the list may be large and versatile, her skill with each varies and many of the advanced skills, such as Alter Environment or Electric Judgement, are not only incredibly draining, but also require impossible levels of concentration. Thus, only level 2 skills and below can be applied practically.
Source
Weaknesses: In terms of physical and spiritual weaknesses, Aether lacks a lot in the power department, and her blade strikes don't quite have the 'oomph' most Jedi Knights do. While she boasts impressive stamina, her Ataru and Soresu skills can tire her out if used too aggressively and she isn't given enough time to recuperate. Her mind becomes especially fragile should this happen, and her Force abilities suffer as a result. Mentally, her weaknesses involve her having very little trust in her comrades, making certain exceptions to Jedi. This goes so far as to charge ahead of others alone and doing things herself, not because she feels more capable, but because she trusts herself more. Under extreme pressures her calm composure will snap, and she may submit herself to the dark side or lash out in anger for strength, however due to her training this is very unlikely. Lastly, outside of her military and Force knowledge, Aether knows very little in the way of the world outside. Though she knows how to fly, she isn't very good at landing...

Background

Aether was initially born without a name, a number taking it's place. #307 was what she was referred to by, and she didn't know her birthplace nor her parents. All she knew of her early life was racism and slavery...

She served as the working girl for slavers, spared of the horrific concept of being sold off at the expense of having to work for dishonest men. Though self-proclaimed 'gentlemen', Aether's 'masters' were not the nicest bunch, and she witnessed and even had to suffer through some of the atrocities they partook in firsthand. This began when she was five, and carried on for four long years, until one day, everything changed. The slavers were trading on a cold planet with dangerous clients. When the deal went south, those discussing the terms were shot dead by their associates, and a firefight ensued. The slavers were larger in number, but were poorly equipped, and were gunned down one by one. Aether hid throughout the ordeal, though upon her discovery, she was so afraid that she did the unthinkable...

... She manifested the dark side of the Force, for the first and only time since...

The young Mirialan escaped using her power, and fled out into the snow. The air was freezing and the clothes on her back were hardly enough to keep her conscious for an hour. As her nerves seemed to freeze and her mind went blank, her face hit the snow and her eyes glazed over, giving way to unconsciousness...

When she awoke, Aether found warmth she hadn't felt before, both physically and emotionally. An old man, who would soon become her new master, took her in and saved her. It was a kindness which would mold her years to come, and her rise as a Jedi. He was also the man who gave her the name Aether, after seeing her fascination with the stars; Oath coming from her oath to him and Ether after his own surname. He was a former Jedi, a hermit living in a world without others, having been expelled from the Jedi Order for not being a true follower of the Jedi Code. As such, he knew of the potential within Aether, and taught her everything he knew over the years to better her skills as a Jedi and in the Force.

The first thing Aether learned was control. Control of her emotions, control of her body, and control of her mind. It allowed her a deeper understanding of the Force, and controlled her previously unchecked emotions. Next was survival. The ability to fast, to hunt, and to use the Force to sense the world around her. From these two bases, Aether began learning the skills required to be a Jedi: lightsaber combat using one of her master's blades, Force abilities that her Master knew, how to have control of oneself, and the ability to survive in the wilds. Not to mention the flight knowledge she acquired from toying with the slaver ship her master brought back to their base, after finding it left in the middle of the snow, past memories resurfacing to help her understand it all. Over a nine year period, these skills only grew.

However, her master would soon become too old to continue. He also lacked much else to tutor Aether in the way of the Force as well as the blade, and felt his natural calling to become one with the Force. As he drew his remaining breaths, the old man officially declared her a Jedi Knight, and handed his disciple a holocron with instructions, directing the young woman to none other than Luthor Antilles himself. Though she had no idea why, she assumed her master used what little strength he had to search for the Jedi Master and pinpoint his location, presumably so Aether would be in safe hands after his passing. Whatever his motive, her master had lead her to Antilles, and she has stuck by him ever since.

Now a well-established member of the enclave, Aether teaches the new how to hone their skills with the force and to survive in these harsh lands. She herself still strives to become even better with a lightsaber, learning how to properly wield them through her own training, as well as bettering herself as a pilot. Though she may be a Jedi Knight, she doesn't think herself as such, and admits she has much to learn.

The Arvenni Twins



Name(s): Maria & Alessia Arvenni
Species: Human
Gender: Female
Age: 18
Height: 5'4
Weight: 105lbs(A)/ 135lbs (M)
Class: Padawan(A)/ Knight(M)
Position: Pilot(A)/ Atari Instructor(M)

Primary Strengths: General force use, technical expertise. (A)/ Multi-opponent saber combat. (M)

Appearance: The Arvenni twins are named as such due to them being exactlt that. Twins. With a flawless olive complexion and flowing, silky charcoal black hair and tightly pursed lips, the sisters would be impossible to tell apart if they were to wear civilian clothing. A fact the two use to their advantage when on missions.

Weapons: Maria and Alessia make use of dual-phased shoto lightsabers, which they created whilst in the Jedi acadamy on Coruscant as initiates. Alessia's makes use of a standard kyber crystal and a kunda stone in place of a focusing lens, making her blade broader than Maria's; which is constructed using a synthetic green crystal and is focused with an Ossus duelling lens.

Armour/Clothing/Equipment: The Arvenni twins each wear an almost identical set of ceremonial linen robes, with Maria's being green and Alessia's being blue. Each of then women's feet are supported by knee height black leather boots.

Skills/Abilities:

Alessia:

- A self-admitted lackluster duellist, Maria has spent almost every year of her training trying to fill that gap in order to serve her enclave in a supporting role. As such, she is incredibly well versed for her age in the art of force healing, even to the extent that she is able to detoxify those who have fallen prey to poisons. Additionally, following her training under Master Antilles she has mastered the technique of protecting her allies from harm using precise blasts of telekinetic energy.

- Time spent in the sim room has also made Maria one of the enclaves best Jedi pilots. Though she refuses to admit it.

Maria:

- The vastly more powerful and skilled force user of the two, Alessia is well versed in many an offensive and defensive technique, often being referred to as a prodigy around the enclave. Though some, such as Maz, resent the methods Luthor has used to train her and the powers she manifests; it would be foolish to deny the results of his efforts. She is very skilled in the use of force lightning and telekinesis.

- Having begun her training on Coruscant under a different master Alessia is highly skilled in the arts of Ataru and Juyo, to the extent that once she was able to defeat her master in a sparring session. Though she never repeated the act, her raw agression and economy of motion make he a force to be reckoned with.

The story of the Arvenni twins is not a very noteworthy tale, born on Coruscant, they didnt get much of an upbringing before their parents were killed in action during the Mandalorian Wars. As a result of this, the two incredibly young children were taken in by the jedi order; though initially they were just to be trained as temple guards it was soon discovered that the girls would grow to be potential jedi recruits. The Twi'lek whom took them in, began to subtly indoctrinate them with the way of the jedi from very early on. Come age nine the girls had begun their official training, but on that fateful day, Mandalore and his forces made planetside on Coruscant.

Neither girl remembers much of what happened that day, only the sounds of blaster fire and screaming. Fortunately for them both however, the only visual recollection they have is being whisked off of their feet and carried into the Stalwart Fury by Master Antilles. Since then, Alessia has completed her training under Luthor, becoming an incredibly skilled; albeit green-horned jedi knight. Passionate, outgoing and loyal to a fault, Maria has caught the ire of some within the enclave due to Luthor's method of training her.

Alessia on the other hand however, has grown to become a calm, collected and at times shy individual whom has yet to complete her training.

[DepressedSoviet]

Name: Wilkdon Rumnaheim
Species: Miralukan
Gender: Male
Age: 54
Height: 6 feet
Weight: 160 pounds

Class: Non-Jedi Council member and Instructor

Position: Instructor and council member

Primary Strengths: Force Sight, Force Sense, and other awareness and interaction-based Force techniques

Appearance: Wilkdon's skin is loose and pale with age, and his hair and beard are a stark white. He stands slightly hunched, using his staff as means of support, and the blindfold covering his eye sockets is dirty with years of use and lack of replacement.

Weapons: Wilkdon's staff is a unique instrument crafted himself, to aid in his skills in the Force. Topped with a special Kyber crystal attuned specifically to his usage of Force awareness abilities, by enhancing the range of his force sense to give him an edge in combat. Wilkdon is trained to use his staff in combat in tandem with his abilities, and this gives him a bit of an edge against non-force sensitive opponents. Other than that he carries no weapons other than basic martial arts knowledge.

Skills/Abilities: As a master of the former Luka Sene, the native force using organization of the Miraluka, Wilkdon is an expert at Force Sense, Force Sight, and the majority of other awareness skills that utilize the Force. He holds knowledge of more "Dark Side" aligned knowledge as well, such as unwilling probing of a victim's mind, though he does not divulge that information easily, nor does he willingly use it very often. He is also a trained martial artist in both Staff and Unarmed combat, though his old age certainly slows him down. He is a skilled teacher as well, though some students express difficulty in keeping up with what they remark as an extraordinary pace for an older man. Wilkdon's age and abilities have given him insight into the workings of the galaxy, allowing him to perform greatly at the role of an adviser to the council.

Background: Born on the Miralukan homeworld of Alpheridies, Wilkdon showed remarkable talent with the force from a young age. His family, two farmers who laid claim to a decent mid-sized plantation, were fortunate enough to be able to send him to the local Luka Sene academy for training. This would help define his career path for what would be the rest of his life.

Wilkdon took to the schooling like a Corellian to a Freighter. By the time he was 13 years old, he was already one of the top students his branch of the Luka Sene had ever seen, and by 16 had already been transferred to the main academy in the capital. There he learned the more advanced techniques of the Miralukan usage of the Force, as well as the basics of resisting the tantalizing call of the Dark Side. Once he was of age, Wilkdon showed enough talent and skill to be inducted as one of the Sene Seekers.

From there, Wilkdon was instructed in the arts of combat, his favored techniques being the usage of the staff and his own body, supplemented by his Force abilities. Eventually, Wilkdon would become a full fledged member of the Sene Seekers, and begin his work in reconverting those of the Miraluka who had fallen to the Dark Side.

Wilkdon's career as a field agent was a success, with an almost flawless record of reconversion, and never being forced to end the life of a fallen member. Only one person was able to resist Wilkdon's abilities, and this memory is one he often thinks about to this day.

Narlusia was a female Miralukan who had fallen during an unsanctioned trip to Korriban. She had come into the possession of an ancient Sith warblade, which had corrupted her with the Dark Side energies of its former owner. Eventually Wilkdon and a small security team would confront her on Corellia, and a heated battle would ensue.

Wilkdon looked on in horror as Narlusia slew each member of the security team, leaving only her and Wilkdon standing. This was when Wilkdon knew he would have to capture her before he would ever be able to reconvert her. With deft speed, Wilkdon disabled the young woman, and took her back to the homeworld.

Within the academy of the Luka Sene, Wilkdon spent two months trying to bring back the true spirit of Narlusia, and free her from the corruption of the Dark Side. He would spend countless nights in the archives, studying all he could of the Dark Side, how it corrupts, and all known ways of ending that corruption.

Ultimately, Wilkdon would fail, and the Luka Sene would order that Narlusia was to be put to death. The knowledge that he had failed weighed heavily on Wilkdon's shoulders, and he would retire from active field duty for the Sene Seekers, instead taking up the role as a teacher, and adviser to other Force-using organizations, such as the Baran Do or the Jedi.

When the Mandalorians declared war on the Republic, Wilkdon was already there in the Jedi Temple, serving as an adviser. He called for the Council to take an active role in the war, which they disagreed with. Despite this sentiment however, Wilkdon did not approve of Revan and his cohorts going out to war, though he did respect their cause.

When the survivors of Malachor V arrived to warn of the impending invasion of Coruscant, Wilkdon did all he could to aid in the defense, but they ultimately failed. With that, Wilkdon took it upon himself to aid in the next step in the war, the formation of the various Jedi enclaves, designed to train a new generation to fight a guerrilla war against the Mandalorians. Admiring how he took the fight to the Mandalorians, Wilkdon boarded the ship alongside Master Antilles, and did what he could to establish the enclave on Valkaina.

[Zetsuko]

Valdis Freyr

Name: Valdis Freyr/Adann Stal
Species: Human
Gender: Male
Age: 32
Height: 6'3"
Weight: 179lbs

Class: Temple Guard/Jedi Sentinel

Position: Pilot/Infiltrator/"Errand boy"

Primary Strengths: Blade and Blaster combat/Lightsaber Lance combat

Appearance: Valdis has preferred to keep a helmet or mask on ever since becoming a temple guard for the order and is rarely seen without one. When he is, however, one could see his dark-brown hair, kept short to fit under a helmet, his green eyes fairly clear complexion and very lightly tanned skin.

Weapons: Valdis carries a Vibrosword that he wields in conjunction with a custom blaster pistol when he is not using his Yellow-bladed Lightsaber pike. Additionally his ship holds a small arsenal that he could choose from depending on his mission. He also kept the saber of his fallen friend but it is meant more as a memento than a weapon.

Ship-Amber Dragon

Skills/Abilities: Valdis primary focus is saber and melee combat, though he has acquires some skill with blasters. He excels against other melee fighters or saber-wielding opponents and relies on force powers or personal shields if available to counter blaster fire. His force powers are focused on enhancement or barriers rather than offensive capability as well as being able to resist the influence of other force users. His few offensive abilities are Force suppression and the devastating Force Breach technique.

Background: Valdis was born during a complicated series of events that led to the death of his parents and the ship they were on crashing on a planet that held a Mandalorian settlement. Fortunately for him the clan that found him in the wreckage took him in and raised him as their own, though his adopted father held on to a datapad containing information from his birth. Valdis, known to his clan as Adann, set out on his own sometime before his clan was called to serve Mandalore, becoming mercenary and using the repaired remains of his parent's vessel.

At one point he was hired by a rather practical Jedi, Valdis still isn't sure if it was coincidence or not really, who over the course of their time together revealed his force sensitivity to him and convinced him to come to the Jedi temple for training. He had trouble with his lessons, being older than normal for an apprentice didn't help, but between what progress he did make and his martial prowess he was selected as a candidate to become a Temple Guard. As one he was expected to deal with internal threats as much as external, and as such some of his study shifted accordingly.

His decision to join Revan's crusaders came not from his own desire to fight the Mandalorians but from the very same Jedi that brought him to the order, whom he'd come to consider his only friend within the order. He'd followed the knight to war, but after Revan's demise and the collapse of the Republic army he saw her fall. He took on his Mandalorian Identity to survive. He posed as one of the attackers during the siege on the temple where he discovered the plans to create the enclaves and even took steps to ensure the information stayed out of Mandalorian hands. He waited just over a year before seeking them out, searching for one headed by a master whose name he recognized from Revan's forces: Luthor Antilles

Atan Khaal

Age: 56
Height: 6'7"
Weight: 210 lbs

Position: Discblade instructor/Zeison Sha Emissary

Primary Strengths: Telekinetic force abilities, Hand-to-hand combat

Appearance:


Weapons: Atan carries a discblade with him as well as his pair of custom lightring sabers.

Armor/Clothing/Equipment: Atan's body has been largely repaired with cybernetics and prostheticsand over time he further modified his cybernetics body with blaster and lightsaber-resistant materials, jump jets to assist his mobility, and an energy shield projector in his left arm.

Skills/Abilities: Atan's mastery of telekinetic abilities rival, and in most cases surpass, that of even the most powerful jedi, capable of wielding it with minimal effort and even when under great stress. Atan is also a highly skill hand-to-hand fighter, the lightsaber-resistant body allowing him to take on saber-wielding opponents even when unarmed. He uses his lightrings and discblade as his main form of ranged attack, using his telekinetic abilities to alter their trajectories and have them return after being thrown, but he will sometimes use them when facing multiple armed opponents in melee on his own.

Background: Atan was born in the outer rim of the galaxy, where his force abilities would quickly be discovered and he'd find him self being trained under one of the Zeison Sha tutors, He would go one to become one of their best warriors. He remained in the outer rim living a fairly normal life, albeit while acting as a protector for smaller settlements alongside some of his fellow Zeison Sha and occasionally being responsible for dealing with a Dark Zeison Sha.

Sometime during the Mandalorian wars he received severe injuries while defending a settlement from a Mandalorian attack. He was dragged away by his fellow warriors and treated for his injuries, most of his body having to be repaired with cybernetics, He only completely recovered after the republic's defeat. Feeling that the Zeison Sha could not stand by while the Mandalorians ruled he rallied his fellows to form a resistance. Upon hearing stories of the jedi enclaves and their resistance he attempted to convince his Zeison Sha brothers that they should join them, if only to depose the Mandalorians. His disdain for the Jedi was less so the his fellow warriors' as evidenced by the lightring sabers he had created during his training, a slight merging of their two traditions, but he nevertheless managed to persuaded and so they sought them out in the first way that came to mind:

Claiming they were already a part of it and causing as big of a ruckus as possible.

it was risky but it worked as they were eventually contacted and found their way to the enclave outpost on Valkaina.

Zelliana "Ana" Nasan

"Ana"

Character Summary

Name: Zelliana Nasan
Species: Mirialan
Gender: Female
Age: 17
Height: 5’7
Weight: 58kg/127 lbs
Class: Padawan
Position: Still in training

Skills, Weapons and Abilities

Weapons: Zelliana’s primary weapon is a double-bladed lightsaber with a white hilt and accented with chrome and bits of magenta. Inside the hilt is green kyber crystal which produces a bright green blades when the weapon is activated. Her secondary weapon is a prototype blaster pistol that she managed to get off a dead Mandalorian when she was younger, it has a high output of damage, but drains the power cell heavily as a result, making it a useful back up if she can’t use her lightsaber for whatever reason, but can’t be heavily relied upon.

Saber Skills: Although she’s still in training to become a Jedi Shadow, she shows great promise with her lightsaber skills, her main form being Dejm So because it could be used defensively such as deflecting blaster fire, yet could also be used in lightsaber combat and the agressiveness of the form that allowed a transition from blocks and parries to overwhelming and strong counterattacks really drew it to being her preferred style. Zelliana’s second form that she sometimes uses however hasn’t kept up her practice with is Niman, mostly taking it because the masters encouraged her to use it, finding it was the most fitting for her path and the weapon she uses, so this form isn’t as strong as her Dejm So and if she uses it, has a higher chance of losing a fight.

Force Skills:

• Telekinesis – A basic force talent that allows her to use force push and pull.
• Force Cloak – She practices this force talent as much as possible, although since she hasn’t mastered it yet, she can’t keep up the duration for very long and it may sometimes abruptly end without her wanting it to.
• Force Sense – Allows her to sense the feelings of others as well as momentus events or impending danger.
• Force Stun – Force ability that allows her to temporarily deaden the senses and perceptions of her target, this ability isn’t used frequently, so the duration of it can vary.
• Mind Trick – She can use the force to influence the thoughts of people, another ability she hasn’t gotten the hang of yet, so it’s success rate varies.

Weaknesses: One of Zelliana’s biggest weakenesses is her overconfidence and arrogance when it comes to her skills, she dreams about the day that she can take the trials and become a full fledged Jedi Knight, this results in her being impatient sometimes and going ahead of whatever task or mission is at hand before any orders are given. Her force abilities are slightly weaker than her peers or other Jedi, making attacks with the force not as powerful and inflicting not as much damage, it’s mainly why she relies more on physical attacks rather than attacks with the force.

Background

Born on Corellia, Zelliana remembers little of her early childhood, her planet had been attacked during the Mandalorian Wars and she had been captured, being brought back and made into a servant for the Mandalorians. She spent three years as a servant until she finally had enough and attempted an escape, using a vibroblade she had been tasked with to clean, she slashed her way through as many of them as she could, injuring them though not severely and making it all the way to the entrance of camp before a stun shot hit her and incapacitated her.

When she came to, she was surrounded by most of the clan, debating whether or not to kill her, but the clan leader saw in her a fire in her that rather than be snuffed out, could be made to work for them. She then began her long Mandalorian training, learning how to fight hand-to-hand, with blades and blasters, Mandalorian culture and customs, she took to it rather quickly and before she knew it, she was apart of the clan.

Two years passed and she was now eager to fight wither other clan members and earn glory like many of them had. Although she was much to young to start fighting with them yet, she was allowed to accompany some men on a hunt on Dxun, it would provide her with more experience for the future and would allow her to gain some glory until she was old enough to join them in battle. During the hunt, they came across a boy, slightly older than Zelliana, who escaped a nearby camp and had been hiding until he could find means to escape the jungle moon; he was given a vibroblade and was pitted up against Zelliana, promising to be allowed to leave if he could best her.

The fight between the two of them was slightly difficult for her, the boy was older and stronger than her, but thanks to her training, she managed to knock him onto his back and had her blade pointed at his throat. But when she was ordered to finish him, she couldn’t find the strength to do it, even worse, she struck down one of her clansmen when he was about to shoot the boy and then fled with him on one of the ships the arrived on; disgracing herself as well as her clan, she fled the system, flying all the way to Nar Shaddaa where she hid for a few months, surviving by stealing anything she could to eat.

One day on Nar Shaddaa, she spotted a robed man who looked fairly fairly wealthy, but what really got her attention was the item he carried on his belt, it was a long cylindrical, chrome tube. The way he quickly hid it when it briefly was visible to the public eye made her think that it was highly valuable and went about pickpocketing by bumping into him.

Zelliana hastily retreated back to the hideout she had made in the slums to inspect the bounty she had collected, trying to figure out how it worked and was startled when a bright blue blade emerged from the chrome object. The man she had lifted the weapon from had quickly tracked her down, noticing instantly when his weapon went missing. He had been ready to approach and reprimand her, but then he noticed something, a power flowing through her...the force, even though she was past the age in which force sensitives could be trained, but their numbers were low and they needed all the new Jedi they could get.

When he approached her, he prevented Zelliana from fleeing again and then explained that he was a Jedi and that she had the force flowing through her, she didn’t believe him at first, but through persuasion, convinced her to go with him. She arrived on Dantooine and the Jedi that found her explained to the situation to the enclave masters and even though they were hesitant to allow someone as old as she was to begin Jedi training, they couldn’t deny they needed all the new members they could get. With that, she was approved and spent the next two years learning the ways of the force as well as saber forms, taking to it rather easily thanks to her Mandalorian training.

Those were the happiest two years of her life, she enjoyed being with the Order and being a Jedi, but her happiness was cut short when the Mandalorians struck Coruscant. She was in the Jedi Temple, sparring with her master when the first bombardment took place, she had been ordered to retreat whilst he defended the temple, but she ignored that order and went with him. The battle was difficult, many Jedi and Padawans that chose to stay were struck down and it was clear that they weren’t going to win, reluctantly, both Zelliana and her master fled the Jedi Temple and the planet, he knew it would do them no good to stay and die.

Things didn’t get any better after Coruscant, she and her master traveled from system to system, trying to remain hidden, but were always discovered, then the unthinkable for Zelliana happened, whilst fleeing for what seemed like the hundredth time, her master took a blaster bolt to his stomach and succumbed to his injury but not before telling her of a hidden enclave on Valkaina that he had recently been notified about and was sure wouldn’t be discovered.

Now, a few weeks later, here she is, on Valkaina, looking to be assigned a new master and even more so, looking to take her trials and become a fully fledged knight of the Jedi Order, though she still has a ways to go, especially on her patience and being humble, she’ll no doubt make and excellent Jedi Knight.

Sentinel Tan El Nali

Name: Tan El Nali

Species: Lorrdian

Gender: Male

Age: 27

Height: 6'1"

Weight: 185

Class: Sentinel/Diplomat

Position: Instructor, Ambassador

Primary Strengths: Multiple form user and skilled negotiator.

Appearance:


Weapons: Two curved dual phase lightsabers, and shoto saber saber kept hidden within his robes.

Skills/Abilities: Lacking most Jedi's heavier training in the force, his abilities are limited to moving objects with the force and force immunity. However, there is no finer living saber combatant while he is not a master of all forms he knows more of saber combat thanks to years of serving as Sentinel on Nal Hutta. He can understands and can teach Shii’cho, Soreso, Ataru, Niman, Sokan, Jar’kai, and Tràkata. He is also trained in Juyo but reserves the teaching for those he believes are ready.

While his force skills are lackluster, his people skills are impressive a capable negotiator and people reader.

Background: Born on Coruscant to a refugee family he was taken in the years before his home system succumb to slavery. He was raised by the order though his service as Sentinel was selected if only to silence his cries as and get him far from the council as they dealt with Revan. Taking his crusade against slavery to Nal Hutta, he became an icon on the planet and to those who opposed slavery in all it’s form.

While many fought the Mandalorian wars, Tan fought his own battles and traveled between worlds seeking aid and support in taking action to free his people. Even now after the Republic’s defeat he still believes that freeing his people would earn the Jedi the trust and aid of their people. He joined the enclave realizing that his saber skills were of greater use training then fighting skirmishes and protectin few remaining Senators. He has joined and is currently petitioning to take a Padawan learner.

While still young for a master of so many forms, saber combat has always come naturally to Tan it seems as though he able to use the force in saber combat better than actually commanding the force in general. While many would guess it is his anger it is actually simply his area of expertise, while not strong he can be precise and clear with his force altered movements.

Tan El Nali is one of the finest living duelists, while he will refuse to admit it he will be a driving force in training and in shaping politics with the resurging order. Though the Republic has fallen few forget meeting a Jedi diplomat such as Tan.

Merak "Mer" Shenly, Tech guy

Merak "Mer" Shenly

Name: Merak “Mer” Shenly

Species: Mirialan

Gender: Male

Age: 32

Height: 5 foot 7 in

Weight: 123 Ibs

Class: I guess he’s a Scoundrel? Idk XD

Position: Mechanic/tech guy, could also pilot if needed

Primary Strengths: Working with droids, hacking/slicing, repair work

Appearance: Of average height and weight, Merak has enough muscle to be strong enough to haul droid parts and the like around without appearing “bodybuilder” like on the outside. He isn't exactly scrawny either, but is still slightly more slender of frame than your average human man. His skin tone falls within the yellow to orange hue that is common for his people, with raven black hair which he keeps short-cropped in order to keep it out of the way while he works, wouldn't want it getting caught in between a hydrospanner and any internal components, after all! His final defining feature are the black geometric tattoos taking triangular-like shapes, on the bridge of his nose, and on each cheek/beneath each eye.

Image

Mainly for the facial tattoos and overall appearance, Attire wise he tends to dress in an outfit more like the following:

Weapons: Blaster pistol, and a standard cortosis-weave vibroknife in case he needs a close-range weapon though he much prefers to use the blaster

Skills/Abilities:

> Extremely talented with everything mechanical, be it droids, computers, ships, security systems etc. Mer just has a knack for being able to locate problems and fix them without doing too much damage to the components.

> Fluently understands droidspeak and is able to translate/decipher most of their quirks and speech.

Clanker, a modified KM1 droid that accompanies him

> Pretty good pilot, can fly both frieghters and fighter-style ships, still has the Krayt Fang and so can make supply runs etc. for the Enclave if needed, though it is currently not able to do overly strenuous missions due to system and hull damage from landing on Valkaina.

The Krayt Fang

> A quick thinker and able to problem solve even under pressure (though still slips up occasionally as we all do!)

Background:

Born on the Mirialan homeworld, Mirial, most of Merak’s childhood was uneventful as he spent it in the shadow of his sister, Vano, who attracted more attention from their parents due to her displaying a talent with the Force in their early childhood. Being a highly spiritual people, it was natural that the family’s attention would turn to her though Merak wasn’t particularly bothered by it and in fact was just as curious and spent most of his time trailing after her rather than following his own path in life, so his skills would not be properly discovered or utilized until his early teens. The two siblings shared a relatively close bond though once Vano was spotted out by the Jedi and taken to Dantooine to train as a Padawan, Merak got used to being without his sister again as he would not hear from her for some time.

With his sister gone, Merak was forced to pay more attention to where he wanted to go with his own career path, spending some time with the scholars on the homeworld in an attempt to learn more about the Force with the hopes of being able to follow his sister and leave the homeworld, though that didn’t last long and he quickly found that spending the day pouring over tomes and scrolls bored him to death. Abandoned that career path and spent a few more months dabbling in various things trying to find something that interested him, until he secured an apprenticeship under an older man who worked as a mechanic modifying and repairing starships and hyperdrives. Merak was found to have a natural talent for tinkering with all things mechanical and quickly progressed from working under his mentor to working solo, gathering together enough credits to purchase a second-hand Defender-Class Corvette (he didn't ask where it came from) which he named the “Krayt Fang” after the elusive beast native to Tatooine. He would then leave Mirial to seek out other employment opportunities as the Mandalorians began to creep out of their reaches of space and put pressure on the Republic. Ended up doing freelance mechanical/engineering work for various space stations until he landed a semi permanent post on the Peragus Mining Facility where he would spend a few years fixing faults in the droids systems and maintaining the facility's computers. During his work on Peragus he would pick up his droid companion, a simple KM1 unit that had begun to exhibit faulty behaviour and was earmarked for the scrap pile after ending up in the maintenance bay one too many times for functionality problems. Instead of throwing it out, however, Merak kept the droid (affectionately nicknaming it “Clanker” due to the noise it makes when it walks) as he was keen to try his hand at modifying it to re-specialise and help him to maintain the Krayt Fang which had laid unused in the facility’s hangar for some time due to the workload he had been faced with; the war with the Mandalorians was rapidly escalating in other parts of the galaxy which led to a high demand for starship fuel, the facility’s workers were pushed to get the quotas out as fast as they could. With some careful modification, Clanker was reprogrammed to serve as a companion/maintenance model to help Merak maintain the freighter’s computer systems, hyperdrive and outer plating. In order to meet the demand for fuel exports, Merak eventually moved from fixing droids to making fuel deliveries for the facility which would lead to him finally reestablishing contact with his sister albeit only briefly where they exchanged a few holocalls and she filled him in on the situation regarding the war and the Jedi Council's involvement in it.

Her former Master was following Revan to war against the Mandalorians and she would be going with them, while the Republic frantically tried to fight off the Mandalorian assault the Jedi were taking too long to decide what to do and Revan had decided it was time to go against the Council’s wishes and take any other Knights or Padawans willing to go with them, she felt it was right that she join them too. The Republic had begun to call out for recruits to join their forces to bolster their war effort and in the hopes of catching up to Vano he took the Krayt Fang to Coruscant and enrolled to complete an intensive fighter pilot training course, though once he finished the training he was placed in one of the squadrons that would accompany Luthor and the other Jedi serving under him to the battle of Dxun rather than with any of Revan’s followers. Merak was one of the few survivors of that battle by the time Revan arrived to bail them out of the disaster and despite the poor judgement that had landed them in that situation he still placed his trust in Luthor as a commander, and would accompany him along with Revan and the Jedi forces to Malachor V where he was one of the fighter pilots involved in that bloody space battle.

He was lucky enough to be on the very fringes of the bloodbath when Mandalore dispatched Revan and thus was able to regroup with Luthor and join the small contingent of survivors that would flee back to Coruscant. As the Mandalorians were fast advancing and it was important that they got as much of the archives out of the Jedi temple and to secret locations as possible, Merak volunteered the services of himself and the Krayt Fang for transporting both archives and/or any Jedi that would be taken with them, and accompanied Luthor to Valkaina. He still wishes he could have searched for his sister but everything happened so fast that he didn't have chance to enquire about her and as such he doesn't know whether she survived the massacre at Malachor and ended up being sent to one of the other secret Enclaves or whether she was one of the many lost to the battle.
The Krayt Fang sustained some damage during their initial landing on Valkaina and Merak is in the process of assessing and repairing the damage to it, until he can do so the Fang is out of commission.

Perhaps with another line of work, Errol Vahn would’ve been a picturesque spacer or colonist but unfortunately that is not how his life aligned. The mahogany-haired marksman’s body is littered with laser scarring, vibroblade gashes, and other noticeable scars that are the result of a war-driven life in addition to being a smug sarcastic asshole at the wrong time. Surprisingly, Errol’s face is generally unfazed with only minor knicks being apparent to the naked eye. Beyond this, Errol isn’t particularly tall or short (5’11”) and has a somewhat muscular and toned build due to his line of work.

Errol Vahn is not conventionally trained in the force, although he unknowingly has a connection to it.

Marksman: Errol Vahn has been shooting people since he was sixteen years old— and most often against more experienced and deadly opponents. His experiences in the Mandalorian Wars led him to becoming a quick and dangerous shot or face the early consequence of sweet sweet death. At thirty-nine, Errol is one of the most skilled snipers that survived the conflicts. These skills are not unique to blaster rifles and carbines, but also pistols.

Saboteur: Errol Vahn is a skilled saboteur, grenadier, and demolitionist. This is clear in his adept knowledge and familiarity with various charges used in explosives throughout the galaxy. Errol is comfortable whether a detonator utilizes ion, plasma, thorium, baradium, or other more esoteric and experimental options as its core.

Field Medic: Whilst hardly on the level of the Republic’s finest doctors and field surgeons, Errol knows what stims do what and how to apply a treat injury kit with little mistake. If there is one thing Errol has learned is that if you don’t know how to counteract a Mandalorian toxic dart on the fly you’re pretty much dead.

Stealth: Rule number one of being a sniper— if they can’t find you, they can’t kill you. Errol fought in several battles and on one occasion even outwitted a Mandalorian searching party on Dxun. He knows how to be quiet and make his shots.

Early Life: 3991 BBY - 3975 BBY

Born to an interstellar businessman by the name of Miles Vahn, Errol was born & raised far from the core planets and instead upon one of the vast colonial frontiers. Errol’s father was an aggressive businessman who founded ErdeCo after liquidizing his properties as he believed that the only way to get in edgewise on major companies was to “put all of your cards on the table”. Laughed at by his former partners, Miles Vahn found himself desperate to make an impact on the galactic market that was colonial frontiers. As such Errol was born into a cosmic environment that was as underdeveloped as it was underpopulated. Growing up under the shadow of his father’s obsession to succeed in the galactic market was stressful as Errol found duties were being demanded of him straining the relationship with his parents even more.

A young Errol would spend time at his uncle’s home on the colony— a general agriculture procurement, Alen Vahn, lived much simpler with the only threat being the rare fauna that would get out of hand. Enjoying his uncle’s stories of Alderaan was entrancing for Errol and he would begin to almost live at the farm during these years. During this time his uncle would teach him how to fire a rifle and to impress his relative he would adamantly strive to be better; for every day he stayed at the farm he shot targets and mended the farm to help his uncle. However, Alen Vahn grew sick and passed on from age-related struggles by the time Errol was ten.

A year later, ErdeCo had expanded their operations into a local habitat of violent and fast creatures which resulted in an entire team of laborers to lose their lives due to ErdeCo’s carelessness. The family members of these laborers began to riot while other residents threatened to leave if ErdeCo didn’t get its operations in check. This threat against his livelihood caused Miles Vahn to “protect his investment” and hired Mandalorian mercenaries as “quality control”. This would begin the “dark times” of the colony as the mercenaries hired received benefits plus their rate of service and eventually the group began testing how much they were allowed to do without consequences. But Errol’s father only cared about the critical and financial success of his investments and took no shame into admitting it.

Eventually, Errol’s mother snapped. Errol never saw the colony again as he was taken away from its madness to find himself on another planetary hell: Nar Shaddaa. Errol would fall in with a bunch of other human youths who found themselves on Nar Shaddaa in poverty and among racism and thus a sort of gang was created amongst them. It wasn’t long thereafter that Errol and his friends got caught up into something stupid— an alien named Ardot Fek.

Running with Ardot Fek, a self-proclaimed “supplier” of goods led Errol into a life of organized crime. Fek saw cheap manpower in the youths as well as a useful utility in their knack to steal things. At first they weren’t asked to do much outside of pocket a few things or spot competitors (and law enforcement), but eventually as they became more useful (and older) they ended up “graduating” to carrying firearms as Fek’s under-priced guards. Errol found himself killing for the first time no more than a month after he was given a firearm— he was shaken by the experience, but Fek talked him down from his repulsion and convinced him it was only adrenaline that he felt and not any false moral consequences. Soon enough, Errol was making enough credits on the side to help keep himself and his mother afloat despite Fek underpaying him and the other youths.

Mandalorian Wars: 3978 BBY - 3960 BBY

By the time the first shots of the Mandalorian Wars were fired Errol had become an adept errand boy and enforcer for Fek; a comfortable agreement that lasted until Fek was shot dead by a bounty hunter named Calo Nord. This circumstance would lead Errol back into unemployment for a time, though despite this circumstance Errol refused to give up and started taking up jobs from whoever was hiring and being an overeager young man had its benefits to certain facets of Nar Shaddaa— especially to organizations like The Exchange.

But working for The Exchange and independent criminals on Nar Shaddaa wasn’t enough.

Eventually, Errol found himself brought into a network of non-mandalorian mercenaries; a brotherhood that worked closely with everyone from gangsters to senators, and given the outcry for help on outer rim worlds suffering at the claws of the Mandalorian invaders there was no shortage of supply and demand. In no time at all he would find himself and his fellow brotherhood members on the planet of Cathar and the rest is history— Errol Vahn fought the Mandalorians at every turn for the next decade-and-a-half of his life.

Recent Years: 3959 BBY - 3954 BBY

After the defeats of Malachor V and Coruscant, the galaxy found itself in pieces as it tried to repair itself from the damage. However, the Mandalorians weren’t done and neither was the Republic. But unfortunately, a need for a veteran mercenary wasn’t needed without a direct war to fight and in this time Errol turned to smuggling and smaller jobs that were created due to the repercussions of a war that nearly spanned two decades— people needed help and were willing to sell their last speeder for it. Errol tried not to capitalize on it, but he had his own purpose to meet just the same.

Ultimately, Errol found work through a very obscure enclave…
