@Gcold While it's on my mind, the age is eight years after he got promoted. He's turned down a few promotion offers. Should I include that?

The current version of Scarlet Moons has only been around for six years, which means Ren would have served two years as a private, and four years after as corporal. I would lower his age by four.

Profile
Appearance
Background
Outlook and Motivation
Fibu’s glassy black eyes and pale domed head are a welcome sight to many a soldier lying wounded on the field of battle. Standing a shade under five-and-a-half feet tall, the Bith medic is wiry in his build and has smooth peachy-pink skin as yet unmarked by either time or battle. He has prominent features by Bith standards, with three well-defined skin flaps beneath both eyes that both form his upper jaw and hide extremely sensitive olfactory organs. The long ridges above his eyes trail back up the sides of his rounded cranium, meeting in a downwards point in the centre of his face and creating an appearance similar to that of a human furrowing their brow.
Fibu dresses in no particular preference when it comes to his attire and cares very little for his appearance in this regard. He often opts for well-fitted clothes that hug his frame for practicality reasons; he feels these weigh him down less, make him appear a smaller and less obvious target and don’t get in the way when attempting delicate battlefield surgeries. Normally he will be dressed in neutral colours like black or brown simply due to availability but has been known to throw together a few garish colours simply due to not being fussy and these being the ones no one else wanted. Oddly enough, Fibu is pedantic about choosing clothes that sound right. While he can deal well with battlefield noise thanks to a pair of noise-dampening earplugs, the sound of one’s own movement is incessant and unavoidable and as such Fibu is careful to choose an outfit that he doesn’t find annoying to listen to when he is running.

Background
Like all Bith, Fibu was born as a result of a Computer Mating Service on the Bith homeworld of Clak’dor VII, or simply Bith to most. His father was Tholu D’orel, a lesser-known Bith politician, member of the Bith Government Assembly and advocate for galactic disarmament that regularly ran for a place representing the Bith in the Galactic Senate and regularly failed. A failure he claimed was no fault of his own despite his less than charming personality. Fibu’s mother was Rhimne D’orel, a fertility technician on Clak’dor VII who worked for the same CMS that spawned Fibu. Due to the natural atrophy of the Bith reproductive organs fertility practitioners were often important and well-respected members of Bith society. Fibu’s parents were actually bought together by a computer analysis match rather than any sort of previous courtship, which is common among the Bith, but stayed together happily with their son after his conception and successful gestation.
As a result of his parents’ affluence Fibu came from a happy, supportive home and had a comfortable upbringing. Born in the planetary Capitol of Weogar, Fibu and his family moved out of the city to Buerhoz when he was five years of age, a city much less sprawling and metropolitan although cramped all the same, as was the way of the enclosed Bith cities. Rhimne was able to continue her practices in their new home, while his father Tholu was often away for weeks at a time on official government business in the capital. Fibu never cared much for either city, finding that living so close together felt almost suffocating, and taking any and every opportunity to get out of the cities that he could.
Fibu excelled in a classroom setting, but rather than favouring technological savviness like many of his kind he found his calling more towards his mother’s practices, excelling in studies of xenobiology and biotechnology. It was also in school, while just a boy of 14, that Fibu met the love of his life, Haalia Thono. School years were happy years for Fibu, who found himself in his element, enjoying his studies and happy with his mate Haalia. Unlike many Bith, Fibu and Haalia opted to be together out of affection for one another rather than because a computer system insisted on it.
At 16 years of age, Tholu pulled some strings for Fibu. He was gifted, intelligent and dedicated to his studies, now a young adult and ready to truly strike out and make something of himself. Using government connections Fibu enrolled Tholu in the Lunis-Medix Medical Academy on Dzass IV in the Outer Rim, a prestigious and well-regarded medical school. The news was bittersweet; he would spend five years off-world and away from Haalia, studying what he loved in the hope of a long and successful career following his graduation.
Fibu and Haalia exchanged communications every day, meeting up whenever their lives would allow it and visiting each other frequently. Fibu eventually graduated from Linus-Medix Medical Academy at the age of 21, qualified as a doctor with aptitudes in surgery and diverse xenophysiology. Although there was not technically a marriage of two individuals of the Bith species, Haalia and Fibu swore to each other to be life-mates and have been together ever since. 6 years ago, at the age of 22, Fibu and Haalia finally moved out of the cramped urban environment of Clak’dor VII, going wherever work took Fibu in the Outer Rim. Eventually they settled on Taspir in the Dynali Sector, where Fibu was able to establish a practice and act as a doctor and surgeon to the planet’s people and earning himself repute and good regard in the process.
Things changed in recent years. The Empire's grip became evermore strangling, choking the life out of Fibu's home. The Rebel Alliance swelled, and resistance movements sprung up to fight against the oppressive regime that had overtaken the Galaxy. Like the rest of the Bith, Fibu saw his loyalty as to the Empire, and despite questioning it every day when he saw the was aliens were treated by Imperials, Fibu imply kept his head down and continued with his daily life, trying to secure himself and Haalia a happy life and future together.
And then, four years ago, the Battle of Yavin changed the course of the Rebellion. The Empire had been dealt a grievous blow and like ravenous sharks, the various resistance cells across the Galaxy swarmed to the blood in the water. The Empire became more aggressive than ever, tightening its grip on the systems it controlled in an effort to maintain its position. Numerous times Fibu was approached by a budding resistance group named the Scarlett Moons to act as a physician and doctor to their troops, but each time Fibu refused for fear of the repercussions and the potential to place his mate in danger.
Word spread among the Bith spread across the galaxy that the cities of Clak'dor VII were to be sealed during these times of strife, offering a safe haven for the Bith people to flock to and hide themselves away in safety while the Galaxy resolved its issues. 6 months ago, after Haalia's begging finally broke Fibu down, the pair returned to Clak'dor VII. At Fibu's insistence the pair got in contact with Rhimne and set about the artificial mating process, which was successful and left Haalia expecting their first child together. Fibu did this deliberately; he had no intention of settling in to weather the storm while millions suffered. Just days before the Battle of Endor and once he was sure the gestation process would be successful, Fibu left Haalia in his mother's care and used his father's connections to get himself smuggled back to Taspir.
When the recruitment officers came knocking this time, Fibu did not hesitate. Hearing of the Empire's defeat Fibu enlisted with the Scarlett Moons, hoping to be part of the movement that twisted the knife in the Empire's heart and freed the galaxy of their brutality and oppression. Even if it cost his own life, Fibu would provide a safer future for Haalia and his child.

Even if it cost his own life, Fibu would provide a safer future for Haalia and his child.
Outlook and Motivation
Fibu is at his core a peaceful being, as are many of his people. Even in the face of extreme danger, Fibu is far more likely to accept his fate than he ever would be to draw a weapon. However, he refuses to believe that the best thing the Bith people can do is seal themselves away in their cities and wait out the storm. Sometimes war is the only way to peace; regrettably this appears to be the case in the fight to overthrow the cruel and corrupt Galactic Empire that the Bith so loyally used their knowledge and skills to serve, falling hook, line and sinker to Emperor Palpatine’s delusions of lasting peace and prosperity. It is apparent now that all Palpatine created was a brutal and xenophobic regime.
Fibu witnessed terrible things on the world of Taspir under Imperial rule. Non-human citizens were degraded, and many were enslaved. Those that weren’t were treated like a slave anyway, without the freedom to choose for themselves. Fibu was himself forced to lend his services to the Empire, lest blasted stormtroopers lay waste to his home and destroy everything he had worked so hard to build. Out of fear for Haalia’s safety more so than his own, Fibu complied, a decision he regrets to this day. He was forbidden from practicing on certain species under threat of execution and was regularly forced to stand by and watch people suffer at the hands of Imperial soldiers as they dragged innocents from their homes and shot them without mercy, as easily as one may slaughter livestock.
So, with great reluctance, Fibu has joined up with the ranks of the Scarlet Moons to put his skills to use in creating a safer galaxy for everyone and most importantly, a safer home for his mate and child to return to. Although his own peaceful ethos prevents him from taking up arms himself, Fibu instead does all he can to save the lives of the brave men and women who do march into battle and risk their lives for a better future, seeing them as heroes and himself not as one of them. No longer will Fibu stand idly by and watch as those that stand up to the evil that threatens to consume them lose their lives for their bravery.

Skills and Connections
Medical Expertise: Fibu is a highly trained medical practitioner, capable of carrying out an array of both routine and emergency procedures on various life forms. He is calm and collected in high pressure situations, methodical and precise, and always maintains his equipment and hygiene to an almost unnecessarily high level of cleanliness. Combat situations limit his abilities somewhat; he finds most of the work he does in the field involves makeshift fixes to wounds and stabilising a casualty. His work does not stop off the field of battle; Fibu regularly provides medical advice, assists his squadmates with smaller issues and conducts surgeries and procedures when required.
Musical "Talent": the dexterity of the Bith lends itself well to playing instruments and in this regard Fibu follows suit. He stills keeps a Fanfar and a Fizzz on his person and finds that, even though he is not the most talented, it is a good way of keeping morale up. Nothing brings a squad together like all having something to complain about - even if it is Fibu's dreadful Fanfar solos.
Connections to Bith Government: Fibu's father Tholu was a Bith politician. While he was never particularly powerful or influential, through his father Fibu does have a few connections and friends in high places. Unfortunately, most don't hold any sway outside of the Government Assembly of Clak'dor VII.

Flaws
Pacifist: An admirable trait, but not for a soldier. The Bith by nature and teaching are a pacifist people and Fibu's father especially was an advocate for galactic disarmament. As such Fibu has never really held a blaster and certainly never fired one. While Fibu is adept at what he does, his nature creates a great amount of distrust towards him with his fellow squaddies as, even if he was watching your back, his extreme reluctance to draw a weapon means he would hardly be able to do anything about it were his squad mate in genuine danger.
Sensitive: Fibu is deeply caring and most definitely a family man. It creates problems especially in his line of work; he takes every loss on the battlefield as a personal failure in his own duties, which can often leave him dejected and frustrated with himself. He also does not take kindly to extreme criticism, and will become easily enraged if anything negative is said about his family. Noise is another trigger when he cannot control it - extremely loud or unnecessary irritating noises can certainly sour Fibu's mood.
Obsessive: When Fibu fixates on a goal or task he often does so to the detriment of others. In his line of work, he often wastes time trying to heal a lost cause, and in the process wastes both valuable supplies and time that should have been spent on treating someone else. It all feeds further into his sensitivity; the more he tried, the harder the loss hits and eventually everything spirals out of his control. Too long spent trying to heal one only for them and several others to die as a result can be catastrophic for Fibu's mental state.

Flaws
The image above shows Ashti in her youth, back when she was a knight during the clone wars and still called Nerinni. Although she is a bit greyer around the cheeks these days she has managed to maintain the mighty physique the Cathar are known for through rigid training, something that is immediately noticeable. Also notable are a number of well-earned blaster burn scars across her abdomen and limbs, something normally hidden by clothes and armour.
Her combat wear doesn’t differ greatly from the normal green rebel fatigues, with the exception being a camo-cloak with hood common amongst forest-fighters. Amongst a squad she takes on the role of ammo and bits carrier so is also seen sporting a heavy pack and much-laden pockets
Out of combat she takes off the hood and gear, normally stripping back to her under-shirt provided she’s in the right company.

Background
Born in 54BBY Nerinni never really knew a life before the jedi order, and has never really investigated. She knows through rumour she was born to affluent senators on Coruscant but little else. She was inducted into the order at an early age during the height of their power and during peacetime, and as such was given an opportunity.
Most Cathar get shipped off to the Agricultral Corps and with good reason, as they struggle to master their 'savage' nature, but the Jedi council took a special case with young Nerinni. Whether it was an experiment or as a diplomatic chip against her parents will likely never be known, but she was given special and careful attention by various prominent Jedi masters of the time. It was a successful effort, even if she would be held back compared to her peers due to her difficulties.
She ascended to Padawn status under the tutelage of Master Laan Tik at the age of 14 and would learn from him as the seperatist conflict escalated. The pair of them would be shipped around the galaxy as tensions mounted to try and keep a failing republic together. It was a shock to most of the order when the council instigated the war on Geonosis and Nerinni would be recalled back to Coruscant. Laan Tik would be put in command of the 224th 'Mud Jumpers' Division of clones and sent swiftly to a flashpoint that would quickly spiral into 'The Battle of Mimban'.
Originally sent on an advisory role to train up a local garrison militia things quickly escalated. The 501st moved quickly to assist and Laan Tik sent his padawan away to search for further re-enforcement, backup that would come too late for Nerinni's master who would fall in battle before the first year of the clone wars was up. Nerinni would be promoted to Jedi Knight, General of the republic army, and given command of the Mud Jumpers and battlefield at the age of 32, though this would far from bring peace to the sector.
The Warstalkers, a mainly Trandoshan mercenary army lead by the notorious Oshka the Red, landed on Mimban and sowed terrible destruction wherever they went, claiming hundreds of clone and militia lives wherever they decided to operate, despite Nerinni's best attempts to handle the situation. Eventually The Warstalkers were withdrawn to other fronts, though the impact they made in the hearts and minds of the republicans in the rim needed to be addressed.
After a brief petition period Nerinni was given command of a new battlegroup built specifically to hunt the Warstalkers and aid republic forces where the mercenaries were present. The Task-Force, dubbed "The Core's Riposte," Consisted mainly of 224th 'Mud-Jumpers', given marine and vehicle support and training, persistent fleet support and a small detachment of Arc Troopers. The latter of which would prove invaluable, being the only non-Jedi members of the task force who had a chance of standing toe to toe with the Trandoshans.
The Senate's hopes were two-fold with this Task-Force. Firstly they hoped that just it's formation it would help bolster the morale of the rim, at least in the short-term, and secondly they hoped for quick results as they didn't believe mercenary's could stand up to a dedicated group of the republic's finest. The former expectation was well met, and everywhere 'The Riposte' went they would be well supported, but the latter proved much more difficult to attain.
It would take dozens of clone lives to take down even one Trandoshan, an problem exacerbated by the foe's natural regeneration rate meaning The Warstalkers would often be at full strength long before 'The Riposte' would ever be. It became obvious that Nerinni could not wear down the mercenary group, so instead she settled on shadowing them, thwarting them and awaiting a definitive strike where she could hopefully capture of kill their leader, Oshka, which in turn would likely dissolve the group.
And so the war raged on, The Core's Riposte and The Warstalkers developing a natural rivalry, claiming trophies from one-another, calling to each other by name and looking for members of the other unit on the battlefield. Oshka and Nerinni clashed several times across the conflict, gaining a new respect for the other every time they each had to limp away from the fight, and already planning for the next one.
The ultimate clash would come with the decisive battle above Coruscant. Oshka's flagship, The Blood Cannon, would become immobilised towards the end of the conflict, allowing Nerinni a window of opportunity to board with support from many neighbouring ships. The two clashed once more, scoring devastating hits on one another and were she not supported by the force it is likely Nerinni would have fallen many times over. In the end, it was the ship that gave out before The legendary Trandoshan, a nearby transistor went critical and struck him unconscious. With the ship's reactor going critical the wounded Nerinni managed to secure and drag him to an escape pod, steering it down to the planet below. Mission accomplished.
The pod had ejected too far into the atmosphere, and suffered a hard landing in the underworld of Coruscant. The pair managed to come to an understanding and work together to get out of the situation they found themselves in. Nerinni would appeal in favour of Oshka when his trail was brought before the senate and he would help her escape, wounded as she was. The truce wasn't that spur of the moment as Oshka had stuck entirely to the republic's rules of engagement, much to the respect of the Jedi Knight, and Oshka had enough respect for Nerinni that he wasn't about to abandon a fellow soldier to Coruscanti gangers and the like. Oshka also had very little will to escape; he'd been captured alive and thus, according to Trandoshan religion, had forsaken all of his Jagganath points. His life's work up to this point had become meaningless.
Eventually the pair reached the surface, flagging down a clone escort to fly them to a more secure location. Upon realising they had been contacted by a Jedi the clones dispatched several gunships, and would have been wholly successful at eliminating Nerinni had Oshka not intervened, holding them off with his bare hands until he found a weapon. After a heated battle the pair managed to escape once more into the lower sector.
It wasn't long after that Nerinni received a transmission from the Jedi temple, informing surviving members of the order about recent events and to stay far away. She decided to let Oshka go free. Her respect for the Trandoshan, gratitude towards him saving her life earlier and relative powerlessness and want to bring him to trail meant the two parted on good terms that day though they would only meet fleetingly a few times after that.
Most Cathar get shipped off to the Agricultral Corps and with good reason, as they struggle to master their 'savage' nature, but the Jedi council took a special case with young Nerinni. Whether it was an experiment or as a diplomatic chip against her parents will likely never be known, but she was given special and careful attention by various prominent Jedi masters of the time. It was a successful effort, even if she would be held back compared to her peers due to her difficulties.
She ascended to Padawn status under the tutelage of Master Laan Tik at the age of 14 and would learn from him as the seperatist conflict escalated. The pair of them would be shipped around the galaxy as tensions mounted to try and keep a failing republic together. It was a shock to most of the order when the council instigated the war on Geonosis and Nerinni would be recalled back to Coruscant. Laan Tik would be put in command of the 224th 'Mud Jumpers' Division of clones and sent swiftly to a flashpoint that would quickly spiral into 'The Battle of Mimban'.
Originally sent on an advisory role to train up a local garrison militia things quickly escalated. The 501st moved quickly to assist and Laan Tik sent his padawan away to search for further re-enforcement, backup that would come too late for Nerinni's master who would fall in battle before the first year of the clone wars was up. Nerinni would be promoted to Jedi Knight, General of the republic army, and given command of the Mud Jumpers and battlefield at the age of 32, though this would far from bring peace to the sector.
The Warstalkers, a mainly Trandoshan mercenary army lead by the notorious Oshka the Red, landed on Mimban and sowed terrible destruction wherever they went, claiming hundreds of clone and militia lives wherever they decided to operate, despite Nerinni's best attempts to handle the situation. Eventually The Warstalkers were withdrawn to other fronts, though the impact they made in the hearts and minds of the republicans in the rim needed to be addressed.
After a brief petition period Nerinni was given command of a new battlegroup built specifically to hunt the Warstalkers and aid republic forces where the mercenaries were present. The Task-Force, dubbed "The Core's Riposte," Consisted mainly of 224th 'Mud-Jumpers', given marine and vehicle support and training, persistent fleet support and a small detachment of Arc Troopers. The latter of which would prove invaluable, being the only non-Jedi members of the task force who had a chance of standing toe to toe with the Trandoshans.
The Senate's hopes were two-fold with this Task-Force. Firstly they hoped that just it's formation it would help bolster the morale of the rim, at least in the short-term, and secondly they hoped for quick results as they didn't believe mercenary's could stand up to a dedicated group of the republic's finest. The former expectation was well met, and everywhere 'The Riposte' went they would be well supported, but the latter proved much more difficult to attain.
It would take dozens of clone lives to take down even one Trandoshan, an problem exacerbated by the foe's natural regeneration rate meaning The Warstalkers would often be at full strength long before 'The Riposte' would ever be. It became obvious that Nerinni could not wear down the mercenary group, so instead she settled on shadowing them, thwarting them and awaiting a definitive strike where she could hopefully capture of kill their leader, Oshka, which in turn would likely dissolve the group.
And so the war raged on, The Core's Riposte and The Warstalkers developing a natural rivalry, claiming trophies from one-another, calling to each other by name and looking for members of the other unit on the battlefield. Oshka and Nerinni clashed several times across the conflict, gaining a new respect for the other every time they each had to limp away from the fight, and already planning for the next one.
The ultimate clash would come with the decisive battle above Coruscant. Oshka's flagship, The Blood Cannon, would become immobilised towards the end of the conflict, allowing Nerinni a window of opportunity to board with support from many neighbouring ships. The two clashed once more, scoring devastating hits on one another and were she not supported by the force it is likely Nerinni would have fallen many times over. In the end, it was the ship that gave out before The legendary Trandoshan, a nearby transistor went critical and struck him unconscious. With the ship's reactor going critical the wounded Nerinni managed to secure and drag him to an escape pod, steering it down to the planet below. Mission accomplished.
The pod had ejected too far into the atmosphere, and suffered a hard landing in the underworld of Coruscant. The pair managed to come to an understanding and work together to get out of the situation they found themselves in. Nerinni would appeal in favour of Oshka when his trail was brought before the senate and he would help her escape, wounded as she was. The truce wasn't that spur of the moment as Oshka had stuck entirely to the republic's rules of engagement, much to the respect of the Jedi Knight, and Oshka had enough respect for Nerinni that he wasn't about to abandon a fellow soldier to Coruscanti gangers and the like. Oshka also had very little will to escape; he'd been captured alive and thus, according to Trandoshan religion, had forsaken all of his Jagganath points. His life's work up to this point had become meaningless.
Eventually the pair reached the surface, flagging down a clone escort to fly them to a more secure location. Upon realising they had been contacted by a Jedi the clones dispatched several gunships, and would have been wholly successful at eliminating Nerinni had Oshka not intervened, holding them off with his bare hands until he found a weapon. After a heated battle the pair managed to escape once more into the lower sector.
It wasn't long after that Nerinni received a transmission from the Jedi temple, informing surviving members of the order about recent events and to stay far away. She decided to let Oshka go free. Her respect for the Trandoshan, gratitude towards him saving her life earlier and relative powerlessness and want to bring him to trail meant the two parted on good terms that day though they would only meet fleetingly a few times after that.
Nerinni would change her name to Ashti not long after and work odd-jobs out in Hutt space, somewhere even the empire struggled to watch at all times. She'd do jobs like protection, muscle or even just manual labour to make ends meet and help keep her in fighting form. Despite the risk she knew possessing a lightsaber would pose to her, she kept it anyway, although she did modify it to look much more mundane; covering the identifying parts like the lens and emitter while also keeping a very similar looking grenade next to it.
The civil war would find Ashti with the destruction of Alderaan, an event so cataclysmic even many without Jedi training felt something. It would take several days for news of what had happened to filter through to Ashti but when it did she knew what must be done. Rebel recruitment was barely hidden in Hutt Space, and she would join up to fight the Empire before the year was up. She wouldn't be fighting as a Jedi this time, but she knew that she was doing the right thing by going to war.
The war would rage on, and Ashti would gain prestige as a fine heavy weapons specialist. She would fight as a basic infantryman across the stars, gaining some brevet rank and medals as she went. She even served amongst the ground forces on Endor, at the climax of the war. With the destruction of the second Death Star Ashti expected to hang up her blaster and retire from conflict once everything settled down, and maybe investigate the propaganda that Luke Skywalker was a Jedi himself (as unbelievable as that was). As her tour of duty was coming to an end, however, her unit received orders to provide several hundred members as reinforcement to a semi-isolated resistance cell. This cell was the Scarlet Moons, who were relatively unhospitable to humans and didn't give a frak about your prior rebel rank.
With a recruitment spiel like that very few people volunteered themselves to sign up, but Ashti did after some deliberation. She had a good feeling about this one, and joined up to keep an eye on the unit for rebel high command. Having completed the two-week orientation, despite mockery at her advancing age, she is now ready to deploy to her first mission as a Scarlet Moon, on it's way to capture Ord Thoden...

Outlook and Motivation
Protector: Ashti sees herself as a guardian for civilians and soldiers with less experience than her, and will do what she can to help them even at personal sacrifice
Informant: It's no big secret Ashti is keeping the greater Rebel command briefed in the current goings on, and although this isn't too much of a big deal it certainly provides some tension with the higher ups

Capabilities
Characteristics
BRAWN, Primary Characteristic: What Cathar are famous for Ashti provides in spades. Whether it’s hauling cannon and ammo or overpowering a foe with vibroblade. Ashti trains nearly daily to refine her body and core out of habit and it goes to show. Even as a female of the species her strength is comparable to the strongest of humans.
WILLPOWER, Secondary Characteristic: Even a blunted tool can strike true with a bit of luck. Jedi training has a way of conditioning the mind and body that lasts even without the touch of the force, and even after many years Ashti has a level of patience, endurance and tolerance that is well respected by any that know her.

Skills and Connections
Jedi Trained: Ashti is not totally blind to the ebb and flow of the force, nor have her powers totally waned. She can still wield a lightsaber if required and, should the force will it, reach out with her powers.
Veteran: Ashti fought in many of the major theatres in the clone wars, becoming particularly adept at countering ambush forces and enemy heavy infantry. This experience manifests itself most readily when it comes to positioning herself on a battlefield, striking the weak points of foes and remaining unshaken in the face of danger.
Heavy Weapons: Built like a Rancor with something to prove Ashti was a shoe in for this role, even with her advancing years. In the last few years since she joined the rebellion, she has operated anything from ship-to-ship batteries to anti-aircraft to missile launchers to infantry-borne blaster canons; the latter being her specialisation. She has a knack for setting up at just the right angles and has tutored more than a few of the Rebellion’s recruits in the past few years, earning her the callsign ‘Longtooth’ out of respect.

Flaws
Weak in the force: Though perhaps not especially considered to be a weakness for others, years out of practice combined with the Cathar’s savage nature has left Ashti on a level that could be considered lower than most padawans. Blocking blasters and sensing ambushes was something she could do back in the war, but certainly no longer. Her physique leaves her still quite a skilled duellist but not talented enough to stand toe to toe with another force-user for long at all.
Arrogant: When the bombs are falling and enemy fire raining it can be easy to forget you’re nearly thirty years away from your previous glory-days. Whether this means Ashti over-extends herself or tries to skip chain of command doesn’t matter; it’s a trait that’s likely to get someone hurt and maybe even killed

Most of what I need is in place, @The Fated Fallen. Just fluff up her profile with some more meat and we're good to go. Here's what you can elaborate on:
Very interesting take on your Force-sensitive character; I especially like the connection with Oshka! I'm excited to see the final iteration, and Ashti in action.
What do you say, @Zoey White?
- How does Ashti carry herself? How does she maneuver in combat, and how does she act around her teammates?
- Did she do anything to deliberately stunt her Force-sensitivity? Hiding her Force-sensitivity during the Battle of Endor, with Luke, Vader and Palpatine around, means she's nearly cut off from the Force. Another topic to explore is how Ashti's connection to the Force changed when she hid in Hutt Space.
- For outlook and motivation, what's her take on the Rebel Alliance? Does the Rebellion measure up to the old Republic?
- I assume Ashti learned many of her languages (such as Twiese, Rodian and Umbarese) during her exile?
- Since she's part of the Alliance's first wave reinforcements to Scarlet Moons, we can say she arrived with Cleo's troops. If Ashti wants, she can get Cleo's referral and start at a higher rank. Otherwise, I can see her settling in as a private to stay anonymous. You can work with @POOHEAD189 on this part.

Alrighty, planned changes:
- Ashti is friendly, if not outgoing. She's not necessarily the one to start a conversation but will happily join in. As for combat I'd imagine she goes with the mood. Mainly slow and methodical but if she gets an idea in her head she's going for it. Hard to describe in brief, so I'll think of a better way to put this into my CS
- I'm probably just going to say she didn't fight on Endor. The only ways I can think she might have gotten rid of her force like that is drugs, which I don't really want my character to deal with, or technique, which is also weird to me. It's like saying "She stopped herself from being powerful by being powerful." Once again I'll have a think
- Definitely worth me thinking about more than I did
- I originally just put it down to "Learned a lot of languages as a Jedi," but the whole learning languages in exile is a much better angle to work with, will chuck that in my backstory at some point
- Thanks for the tip! I'll definitely get on that, as long as that's okay with @POOHEAD189 (I have a sneaking suspicion he's going to be okay with a collab, even if he is a little busy these days.)
All in all thanks for the great feedback! A lot to work with and some really smart suggestions, thanks!

I figure if I leave it to a cool surprise you'd all be disappointed. Honestly I was so against the idea of her using her lightsaber I didn't even think about the colour, but it'd be blue

What if she spilled too much ketchup on it, that it became red?

That's what I imagined. Plus, the Clone Wars era lightsaber colors were pretty limited. Everyone had either blue or green. Only Mace Windu and Huulik had purple, and Ahsoka Tano's shoto was a lime green. Tera Sinube's was a very very light blue, and the Jedi Temple guards had yellow mini staffs. Asajj Ventress also somehow got a yellow lightsaber off the black market, and I guess if you count the Dark Saber (I don't), there was black.
But yeah, blue works great. Not too fancy, and also blue raspberry favored.

Hey I just wanted to say I am still interested in joining. I was going to make a slicer character for this first part. A former ISB agent who got to to see first hand some of the Empire's oppressive Brutality firsthand, and it ate away at his conscience. Alderan was the final straw that turned him into a double agent, only to be discovered some time before Endor. Now he uses his skills to help the Alliance and help him sleep at night.
How does that sound for a character concept?
