alright thanks but just so you know some did, Ion Team did in the book Dark Lord: the rise of Darth Vader. basically they received the order but figured it was a enemy signal and helped the 3 Jedi they were with escape. i think there were others but i cant remember the references. Pretty sure there was a squad at the Jedi temple that helped others escape.
@ReusableSword I'm kind of picking and choosing between canon and the EU for certain elements. While a lot of canon can be trash I like how the Clone Wars (the Filoni series) treated order 66 as an implant that literally took all control away from the Clones when the order came down. Makes it a bit more believable that most of them just went along with it.
Initiate Trials: Ryndi passed the trials with easiness. Hers took place on the main temple of Coruscant, the only Jedi temple she'd known. She recited the Jedi code flawlessly, then blindfolded used her lightsaber and the Force to spar with combat drones. For her third test she was tasked with detecting lies from a civilian in a mock trial type situation.
Skills: Ryndi is knowledgeable in three lightsaber forms, though she mainly only practices and trains herself in two of them. The first form she was taught was form I (Shii-cho) which helped her learn the basics of lightsaber combat. The two forms she focuses on are Form IV (Ataru) and Form V (Shien), her experience on the battlefield alongside her master (before his death) helped her with learning both these forms. She's at an apprentice level for both but could be molded into a formidable lightsaber duelist.
Outside of lightsaber combat she's been taught a few basics of martial arts typical to Jedi. She can hold her own in a brawl against some opponents, using the Force to aid her. She's also been taught the art in diplomacy by her master, displaying some charisma with her words. Her master also showed her the basics of battlefield strategy, she knows how to set up basic traps and ambushes.
Force Abilities: Ryndi is skilled with the basic Force powers such as push/pull, using both heavily in training and in combat. She has shown talent with the ability to throw a lightsaber in battle. She also knows how to use the Force to stun her opponents and create protective barriers, but she is not particularly skilled with either of these abilities.
Weaknesses:
Grieving - Ryndi's master died on the battlefield a few weeks ago. She was helpless to watch him die and blames herself endlessly for it. Its caused her to become more withdrawn while filling herself with constant self doubt. Her sadness and anger is still very evident over the incident. Immediately following her master's death she succumbed to her emotions and her rage, giving her a brush with the dark side. She's still filled with fear from it, fear that she won't be able to succeed. If things get bad she could potentially fall into the darkness.
Impatience - She's often headstrong in her actions and lacks the patience of more experienced Jedi. Ryndi will frequently charge into situations head on with an alarming boldness.
Inexperienced - While she is a better combatant than most other padawans she is still technically an apprentice. Someone more experienced and stronger with a lightsaber should be able to beat her soundly. She does showcase potential but at the moment she does not have the experience or practice to be at a higher level.
Character History: Ryndi was born on the quiet farming world of Dantooine to a hardworking family. Her parents provided her and her two older brothers the best they could. When she was five years old a traveling Jedi knight came to the world on a diplomatic mission and discovered the young Ryndi. She would be taken offworld to Coruscant the next day, saying a final goodbye to her loving family. The change from the constant calmness of Dantooine to the endless bustling of Coruscant was something which took some getting used to. As was life without her family, though that was something many Jedi had to learn to deal with. She showed potency with the Force and would pass her initiate trials with relative ease.
She was taken as a padawan by the Jedi Knight Kej Gesi, a experienced Jedi guardian. Master Gesi was very talented with a lightsaber and the martial forms of the Jedi way. He would assist the young Ryndi in learning the ways of the Force greatly. Their first missions together often involved tracking down criminals, one of the most notable involved protecting a small village on a Republic world from a slaver raid. While these were violent, difficult assignments the young padawan accomplished them with her master.
The threat of the separatists would soon arrive and the Clone Wars would begin to tear apart the galaxy. Ryndi was deployed on several missions alongside Master Gesi, some involving commanding clone troopers in direct combat against the droid armies. This type of war was something which shocked her deeply in her first battles. It was one thing taking on disorganized raiders and hunting down rogue criminals, it was another entirely taking part in a war against a fiercely organized army of droids. She would suffer some minor injuries during the war, but nothing which would be life threatening. A broken left hand would knock her out of commission for a few weeks, forcing her master to continue the war effort without her. She'd return once she was back to full health and take part in a raid on a droid processing factory, one of her most notable missions during the Clone Wars. Alongside her master and a detachment of clones she'd drop into a separatist controlled world and break into the factory. The ensuing battle was chaotic but would end in success as the two Jedi managed to sabotage operations inside of it.
War was not without its consequences and causalities, as her most recent operation ended in tragedy. While attempting to free a captive senator the two Jedi would end up in an ambush. Surrounded and flanked by battle droids the duo would be forced to fight their way out of a separatist facility. In the heat of combat Master Gesi was struck down with a blaster bolt, dying instantaneously. Disregarding the teachings she had been taught the young Jedi would tap into her emotions and lash out at the droids besieging her. With a howl Ryndi would carve and slice through the machines like they were paper. A squad of clones arriving to the scene would find Ryndi collapsed on the ground next to her dead master, having carved apart the battle droid which had killed the elder Jedi into an utter scrap heap.
She was brought back to Coruscant the next day, in immediate need of counseling and aid. Rydni's emotional state has been one of fragility ever since that fateful day. While thankfully lacking in physical injuries, her mental and emotional state is ridden with grief. The encroaching downfall of the Jedi being the last thing the scarred Jedi needs.
Age: 21 Species: Human Initiate Trials: Byleth's Initiate Trials were olden in nature yet unorthodox in application. His first trial was conducted in two stages. The first being a practical interview of the Initiates' answers to likely encounters both combative and diplomatic in accordance to the Jedi Code. Out of the fifteen students three were eliminated here. The second part of the first examine consisted of the Initiates' repeating the Jedi Code back and discerning a personal meaning behind the code. Out of the twelve Initiates left one was eliminated at this stage. The second trial was the construction of their lightsabers with kyber-crystals excavated by the Instructors. Those who did not feel the pull of the Force to a certain Kyber crystal were deemed unready by the Force. Out of the eleven Initiates left six were eliminated at this stage. The third trial was a demonstration of their strength in the Force. A massive boulder was chosen for the five Initiates to move separately. Those who managed to lift it even a little passed. Out of five left, two were eliminated at this stage. Only two Initiates went on to become Padawans after these Initiates Trials.
Physical Appearance: Byleth is a human male with curious brown eyes and vernal features. His tan skin is marked by modest freckles, accentuating the innocence that flows off his presence in the Force. He has an organized mess of neck length chestnut brown hair, a trademark strand falling below his right eye. His 5'10" height and gangling stature misleads the steely muscles beneath; his athleticism and efforts etching lines in his skin. Byleth's Jedi garments are white, fitting robes, with grey trousers tucked into black high-boots. Occasionally he wears a overlarge earthy robe and always a black tunic beneath his white robes. Byleth's mentors have commented his choice of clothing, considering them peculiar, if not oddly specific.
Skills: Naturally a analytical thinker, Byleth has a keen sense of observation of both large-scale situations and intimate skirmishes. He has been praised predominantly on his interpersonal skills. A relatively adept practitioner of Form I and III, Byleth would eventually focus on Form VI in hopes of diverging more smoothly into other forms later on. Byleth also became quite the starfighter pilot due to his dislike of entertaining others needlessly in the past, the hushed silence of the fighter and space gave plenty of time to detangle the clutter of his mind.
Force Abilities: Byleth's notable skills in the Force includes Force Freeze and Mind Trick, two skills that along with his nuance use of Force Push and Force Pull has set him apart from other Initiates.
Weaknesses: Byleth puts on a shallow facade to hide away his insecurities. He is usually withdrawn and quiet; fretting over the small details and battling a deep sense of guilt. His desire to save beings however is his greatest weakness, when presented with the immediate opportunity to help someone he becomes slightly irrational. This coupled with his empathetic heart and genuine kindness tends to get out of hand. Outside of that, his mentality of being good at a little of everything has left him a master of nothing.
Character History: Byleth was discovered and found by a Jedi Master on a unrelated mission. Taken to the temple on Coruscant he was trained under Master Yoda along with other younglings. After his Initiate Trials he was quickly picked up by a male Togruta Jedi Knight named Elda Beh. His master was man of duty, pride, and kindness. During the Clone Wars, he was deeply involved with defending the Togruta species. Typically obedient of The Council, this one time, Elda Beh disregarded his orders to provide assistance to the enslaved Togrutas of Kiros. Upon arrival Byleth and Elda Beh begun small skirmishes in the name of liberating the Togrutas. They made heavy leeway in the beginning but when retaliation on the slaves had begun to become indiscriminate and brutal, Elda Beh was hit with a titanic wave of guilt.
For a time they ceased all activity until a mysterious flux in the Force drew them to a quiet cove carved into a cliffside. There they found black-skinned humanoid whose body was whip-like, taunt and skinny, draped in a dark cloak kneeling on the cold ground. The air was so still upon entering the cove that not a fold of his cloak moved. Elda Beh spoke barely above a whisper, confidence heavy in his voice. "Stay back, Apprentice. I'll make this quick."
Byleth nodded obediently, taking several feet back as the hum of his Master's lightsaber struck the silence. The Dark Side user shifted then slowed rose to his feet, a wave nausea assaulted Byleth, churning his stomach and rattling his bones. He watched with horror as the mysterious figure ignited a red blade and pounced towards his Master. Elda Beh's attacks were unsteady from the beginning of the bout and soon, his style of attack were becoming completely unrecognizable. They grew more and more vicious and his presence in the Force was darkening the longer he fought. By the time the battle had ended, the Dark Side user was kneeling over his bloodied master, petting the Togruta's head affectionately.
Without a word, the black-skinned man conveyed a eerie sentiment to Byleth. A command; to take his Master away from the cove or they would surely regret staying. Byleth did so cautiously, the harsh trek to the cove had been made tortuous with the dead-weight of his Master on his back. With little word to anyone, only the Council, Byleth left Kiros, returning to Coruscant with a mind-addled Master. A few weeks later he found he had been stripped of Master Elda Beh and told to wait at the Temple until another Master could be found for him. Periodically he would gleam tid-bits of information about his Master. How not only his mind was being ravaged but likewise his presence in the Force. The Council and Healers held hope that they could cure his ailment. Byleth did not; they had not felt the potency of that Dark Side user, the creepy, steely machinations that had oozed off him.
Eventually his guilt urged him to become involved with the ongoing investigation, that he was at first, hesitant to assist in. His fear of this gaunt man, draped in a too-large robe of black, was palpable in the Force. And yet, oddly enough, it also became the catalyst for change. Back on Kiros, with a handful of Jedi Knights and a singular Master, Byleth found himself speaking out during the investigation. Guiding them along their path to the cove with an expectant, yet calm demeanor. A part of him wanted nothing more than to see this being again. This man with shiny black-skin and a red lightsaber. This man who had infected his Master with some Force Disease. This man who possibly had the cure.
At once, the Master staid his steps at the entrance. He wobbled slightly and mentioned a shudder in the Force. Byleth was quick to remind them of his Master's awkwardness at the beginning of the battle. "Guards up, Jedi." The Master was no slouch, certainly not foolish, and above all else, he was cautious.
It was terrifying to step back into the cove. Like stepping back into a nightmare, only this time Byleth was prepared. The gaunt Dark Sider rose to his feet and again Byleth remained a few steps behind the others, lightsaber ignited and trembling. Again that nausea echoed through him. The Jedi seemed unaffected... at first. Very quickly it became apparent that the Knights were slipping, making mistakes that led to two of their deaths. The Master was holding up well, beating back the Dark Sider until he was desperate enough to take a hostage.
Byleth was held prisoner by the glow of his bloody blade. The horrid stench on the Dark Sider assailed him with each of his panicked breath. "Let me be, Jedi! Do that and this welp livess. Move an inch. We both die." His voice was dead, coarse and quiet.
There was moment between the Master's reply, hard to detect, that he pleaded sternly, through eye contact, for Byleth to defend himself. "What are you? Sith?"
That plea calmed his mind for a second, just long enough for him to realize who and what he was. He was Byleth Tes, a Jedi Padawan, strong in the Force but weak when it mattered. When the situation required grit, he usually folded. Not this situation, he decided. It was mystical, a serene whisper in his heart but he knew it to be the Force. It showed, not with images but intent and feeling, what needed to be done.
Byleth directed his palm towards the Dark Sider and exerted. It was only a stillness that lasted a single moment but the Master had noticed it and quicker than was thought possible, acted. He sped forward, stabbing his blue lightsaber through the Dark Sider's skull. The blade sung so close to Byleth's ear that it stole that sense for several minutes.
The Master explained on the way back to Coruscant that Byleth's latent ability was both rare and powerful; Force Freeze was its name. It spoke on the soft nuance with which the Padawan used the Force. It also appeared that the Force Disease was directly tied to the skeletal Dark Sider. With his death, the remaining Knight and Master found its effects fading. That gave Byleth hope, that the eight standard-days it had taken to defeat his Master's adversary was worth it.
When he returned, that hope was dashed. The Force had been stripped of his Master, that was the last stage of the disease, an irrevocable detachment from the Force. It killed one's Midi-Chlorians, depleted them. If not for them slaying the Dark Sider, it would have eventually killed all infected. In the end Master Elda Beh was 'released' of his duties as a Jedi. That singular outcome carved Byleth inside-out for a time, he never even said his goodbyes.
He was left with a sense of guilt and a sense of deep-confusion at the irony of his growth and descent. If he had not been so obedient, if only he was a bit more assertive earlier on, maybe, perhaps, he could have saved his Master. Perhaps...
@Renny I like the concept, and it certainly explains what happens to the Togruta of Kiros after the efforts of Anakin, Plo Koon and Obi-Wan manage to rescue some of them.
However what's up with this Dark Side Force user? I want to know more about what's going on there before I'd consider accepting the sheet.
@Sep Honestly the Dark Side wanderer serves little purpose to Byleth's overarching plot. His real purpose was to get Elda Beh out of the picture and Byleth to the temple. But he ended up providing some "angst" for young Tes as well. Internally, the Dark Side wanderer will probably play a minor role. Externally, unless you wanted to use him or something, I wasn't expecting him to make another appearance.
Also the illness on Elda Beh was an experiment by the Dark Side wanderer.

I dislike the use of story elements that are solely for 'angst' especially as during war time there's 101 plausible reasons to have them return to the temple. The Council even periodically called people back just to relax and chill for a bit.
@Sep Well I didn't realize that would affect my chances of joining the Rp. The Dark Side user is kept ambiguous specifically because I believed it would enrich Byleth's character simply by experiencing the macabre and unknown of the Dark Side as well as the brutality of the Clone Wars. I know I used 'angst' sardonically but It wasn't meant to imply that I wasn't taking the character seriously. Of course I put a lot of thought into Byleth and his future developments. If you'd like I could attempt to expand on the Dark Side user but it might not seem as organic or genuine as the rest of his profile.
As for the 101 plausible reasons, I simply didn't consider them as I explored his story in my mental before writing it down.
@Renny If it's important to your character, there should be some background/context, I'm not saying your character should have actively interacted with the Darksider beforehand, but some reference to what happened to them would be nice. As no doubt Jedi would have been sent to deal with the issue. In terms of other parts of the sheet.
Force Freeze can be a pretty strong power depending on the level of proficiency, so I'd expect to see it mentioned in the shet somewhere but as of yet haven't. Feel free to tag me with any other questions.

So this is the conclusion to Byleth’s interaction with the Dark Side wanderer. I like it. the story came easy enough and I was actually kinda surprised. Hopefully, it satisfies your critiques from earlier.
And here is my Master Submission, for your review Septimus Prime.
Riven Je’and
Age: 36 Species: Human Initiate Trials: Having trained in the Dantooine Enclave as other members of her family had for generations, her trials consisted first of her knowledge of the Jedi Code by applying it in a series of situations that might call for its tenants. Her second test was a mock duel against a fellow initiate, his single blade against her double-bladed. Her final trial was to experience the Dark Side itself, aiding a fellow initiate who’d lost herself in her anger find her way back to the light. All these trials were passed with flying colors. Physical Appearance: When catching the light just right, and she hasn’t died her hair some other color, the dark brown looks almost golden in color. Currently, however, the eccentric master has dyed it purple. Lightsaber:Uses a double-bladed lightsaber with an orange blade. Skills: Trained in Shii-Cho, Shien/Djem So, and Ataru, she chose to specialize and nearly master forms IV and V, with a focus on Djem So as the possibility of dueling one of the Separatists lightsaber weilding leaders increased over the course of the war. She’s also a decent shot with a blaster, as sometimes charging the enemy line, lightsaber drawn just isn’t practical. Force Abilities: Along with a mastery of both pull and push, Riven has extensive mastery of many crowd control abilities, though the ability to lock even one opponent in a stasis field is difficult to master. Her most mastered ability, however, is a power known as Force Flame. Weaknesses: Confidence, focus, and strength are the attributes that Riven seems to exude, however, below this is a struggle with crippling depression and a certain level of social anxiety, though she’s learned how to deal with both to some degree. Being a Jedi, after all, doesn’t mean you’re perfect. Character History: Riven Je’and was born on the planet Dantooine to Terrance and Seraphine Je'and, both of whom were members of the planetary militia. By age four, however, she had been taken by the Jedi to Coruscant to train as an Initiate under Master Sinon. She had a natural affinity for it, however and picked up some tricks faster than others.
She trained tirelessly under Jedi Master Sinon’s tutelage under the other initiates and when the time came to build their sabers, she embraced the guidance of the Force and followed it. Upon the completion of her double-bladed lightsaber, and some follow up lessons, she took and passed the Initiate Trials alongside the other thirty initiates, but of those thirty, only 10 became Padawans, including Riven herself. From there, she traveled across the galaxy while training under a Nautolan Jedi Master named Runaan. He was as skilled as he was patient and she learned well under his tutelage, even beginning to find new ways to use her lightsaber to fight a variety of foes and fend off a number of creatures without having to overexert herself.
However, one thing that bothered her master was the hilt’s design. “It looks like something the ancient Sith would wield, combined with that of a Jedi’s weapon. Why would you build it to look like that?” Explaining that ignoring that the Sith were the balance to the Jedi and that she believed in maintaining balance when possible amazed the Nautolan, but he respected her wish to honor the entirety of the Force, as she did not have any desire to tamper with the Dark Side, merely acknowledge it.
In her twenty-fifth year, she was knighted after passing her Knight Trials and five years later, after brokering peace between two long time warring tribes on a planet on the edge of Wild Space, which the Jedi had been trying to broker peace on for six generations, she was granted the rank of master. She had trained only one Padawan before the outbreak of the Clone Wars three years later, a Mon Calamari named Troc Ruhde, who lead the 103rd Clone Infantry Division. Master Riven herself lead the 302nd Clone Assault Division, who was responsible for victories on less well known worlds of great strategic value. However, extended battle over the world of Manaan and on the surface required that the 302nd return to Coruscant for reinforcement and resupply. During this time, Riven went to the temple to rest up and meditate in relative peace until they were ready to move out again.
@Heat your 24 Hours are up. Houston we have a Padawan!
@Renny I've re-reviewed your sheet and your twenty-four hour review time starts now.
@Zarkun I've reviewed your sheet, as this is the master slot I'm going to extend the time until acceptance to 48 hours. Anyone with interest in the Master Slot needs to compete for it during this time.
Age 28 Species Human Initiate Trials Taking on tasks many didn't expect him to handle he managed to save a large group of settlers from a group feral animals on Onderon and tracking down a group of poachers in the effort with the help of local law enforcement. Lightsaber
A trained, and well experienced warrior Alec's blades are an orange (1st), and green hue(second). Skills An incredibly talented fighter, and further extent killer from experience in hunting down droids and other CIS operatives, he is very well adapt at his use of lightsaber techniques, and weaving force based telekinetic attacks into his motions. He is very utilitarian not preferring flare but brutal strikes with deadly efficient motions. Formally a specialist in Jar'Kai duel blade techniques in order to get the most deadly amount of swings in per motion he also is skilled in Form 1 Shi-Cho, Form 5 Shien, and to a lesser extent form 3 Soresu. What he has lacked in precise dueling techniques against other jedi he makes up for by being able to read opponents, and respond accordingly. Ever since the war had started Alec wanted to learn the best way to win a fight which drove him to learn as much as he could from the bare basics of self defense, and overwhelming his enemies. His ability, and preference, to two blades do not hinder him when he needs to rely on a single blade. Force Abilities Alec's force abilities are simple ones but highly trained he can perform force speed to quickly take advantage in gaps in enemies who won't expect him to be faster than he typically is. He has learned from experience the power of force based attacks such as pull, push, and freeze as well. Stunning, and hindering his opponents he overwhelms those unfortunate enough not prepared to face a truly battled hardened jedi knight. His strength in the force is somewhat above average though he is not nearly as special as some of the greater masters such as Yoda, or Windu. He also shows at least passable proficiency with the other jedi arts such as mind trick. Weaknesses Alec's ability to fight has come at the cost of his charisma. He leads by example not by inspiration and even then he doesn't even care to lead he just follows his given objective. He lacks strategic thought going into things he looks at how things are and tries to plan accordingly making him poor in the seat of not only a general but a jedi commander. His personality type makes him a rather uninspiring negotiator he cares nothing for people's thoughts on him. He is also human meaning by physiological level he in inferior to other life forms. Character History Throughout his life Alec was not known to have had much of a history. It is unknown his origin he was found one day by a wayward jedi knight who had stumbled upon him at some orphanage on Correlia while looking for children strong in the force. He was trained at the temple but even as a jedi he displayed some levels of sociopathic behavior. He wasn't fond of making friends with the other younglings he was often caught lying. However the jedi weeded this out of the young jedi in training by drilling him, and trying to calmly enforce the mindset of a jedi upon him. As he grew older he decided he would follow the path of the jedi code but not cling to it incessantly. He truly wanted to be a good jedi but did not believe in the strict adherence to the code. If he was to help others he would do so fairly and not hamstring his own actions by the way many jedi did. His teacher a Duro jedi master by the name of Zom Vum taught him his basic skill set of Shi Cho growing up as a padawan but as he progressed he naturally became better, and better at telekinetic techniques. His ability in combat was sussed out by friends of master Zom in his light saber training, and thus cultivated. His jedi initiate trials were played to his strengths and though the council didn't like his lack of empathy for others his adherence to actually helping folks, and not causing trouble at least allowed him to progress. His trip to Onderon was to help some people on a village away from the capital city who were having issues while the police in the world were too busy to handle. His intuition after hunting down the animals that were causing the issues led him to figuring out that some of the animals were not native to Onderon, or its moons like Dxun and found that a group of poachers had tried to set up a ring for trading animals outside of places like Iziz City.
He cornered them, and displayed impressively abilities to stop disarm them non-lethally even without his lightsaber as he had misplaced it back at camp but found it later on. After serving as a jedi for some years as a peace keeper against gangs near the outer rim he eventually found himself leading platoons of militia men as a jedi captain in the Clone Wars. Throughout the clone wars Alec had grown more, and more accustomed to fighting he enjoyed it, and liked the thrill of beating strong opponents. His techniques developed further and he picked up a second lightsaber of his own creation later in the war. He participated mainly in covert ops in urban environments during the clone wars acting as a sort of special forces commando where direct action was needed by a jedi. His reputation as a deadly warrior grew as he engaged enemy agents, and spies rooting out, and slaying opposing forces with deadly efficiency. He grew to understand the flow of battle growing unnaturally calm, and eerily unnerving as he calmly slashed through enemies with no remorse but with no anger, fear, or sadness bleeding through. He didn't care for his foes anymore than he did kicking a rock down the street. He was a warrior who's only concern was a quick victory. As the war came to a close he was sent back to Coruscant to help clean up any of the battle droids left on the ground after the assault to capture Chancellor Palpatine. He was given further orders by the council to stay in the temple as the war was going to come to an end soon, and he was given the chance to be reassigned to other missions. Though he feels something is off he is unable to figure out exactly what but years of destroying droids, and hunting down dissidents in the back cities of places like Ryloth, and Nar Shadda have left him with a sort of ability to sense when something wrong is affront. He feels that feeling now as he received word of Master Windu's departure, and the intense feelings of Anakin Skywalker as he left the temple rushing past him only hours before hand. Regardless he is ready to take on whatever comes next for him. Another challenge, another chance to find victory.
@Sep was busy there for a little while, still a knight position open or just padawans?
Sorry my last two days have been hella busy. It's looking like Padawans as I'm about to give @vancexentan his twenty four hour till acceptance period.
So yeah Vance, I like the sheet. 24 Hours until acceptance if anyone wants to try and compete for the slot. You are free to alter your sheet in that time if you do so please [@Mention] me so I can take a look.
Age:17 Species: Kel Dor Initiate Trials: Rhon passed the initiate trials at the age of eight. Struggling in the trials due to his lack of finesse with a lightsaber he made up for it in his adhering to the Code and his strength in the Force. He is what many Jedi consider to be a prime example of a 'Consular'. He did not waver in his ability to move objects in the Force, having to lift rocks far larger than he was. Nor when he was visited by images of darkness did he submit. Drawing on the code to keep himself on task and focused. Physical Appearance: No discernable differences to the image provided. Lightsaber:
Rhons saber has a light blue cyan colour. Skills:
Lightsaber Skills: He is no duelist, but he understands the basic flows and forms of Lightsaber combat.
Diplomacy: Working before the War, Rhon moved between tribal worlds helping to solve disputes, trying to convince some smaller worlds to remain in the Republic rather than joining the fledgling Separatist movement.
Healing: He knows how to heal with or without the Force, receiving medical training from Clone Medics during a relief mission.
Force Abilities:
Basic Force Understanding: Like most Jedi he has an understanding of telekinetic abilities. He, however, has always struggled with the ability to influence the mind of other beings.
Alter Environment Rhon can influence the Force to manipulate the local environment in terms of weather. He can use it to cool rooms and small areas, create winds, fogs or minor spots of rain. It’s most efficient when he manipulates an already chaotic
Plant Surge: Rhon can manipulate plant life to grow to his whim, entangling and ensnaring victims. He is skilled with this, however not as good as his master yet.
Force Heal: Using his own energy, or the energy of other things he can cause healing/accelerate healing in others.
Animal Control/Empathy: He is attuned to all living things. While he struggles with mind control of sentient beings, animals he can influence with relative ease.
Weaknesses:
Combat: He can't really fight against anything living. He can fight off a couple of droids, but as can any Jedi. Living beings/vast numbers of trained individuals and he would be easily overwhelmed.
Breath: He needs a special concoction of gases to breathe properly forcing him to wear a mask. With the Force he can survive for a time without it, but not long.
Dissident Faction: Rhon belongs to a sect of Jedi who believes they should never have gotten involved in the war. This political sect isn't terribly popular with the main caste of Jedi.
Character History: Rhon was sent to Coruscant by the Baran Do sages at the age of three. He was part of a long standing agreement between the Sages and the Jedi Order so that in order to live in peace the Sages would occasionally give the Jedi Order a youngling with strong potential in the Force, in exchange the Jedi would not actively recruit from their planet on a regular basis which would allow the Baran Do time to grow and evolve as an order. As an initiate, he took to the Code like a Moth to the flame, like many of his species he had a very strong moral compass so once good and evil were instilled into him he saw the world in a very black and white monologue.
It made him a difficult child growing up where some would have issues with his strict adherence to what they were being taught. While he grew strong in the Force his combat and lightsaber skills lacked and didn't involve much with them, he believed in the religious aspect of the Force wholeheartedly so while he struggled to get a grasp of Lightsaber combat he never spent much time in an effort to correct this fault.
As he became a Padawan under the Wookiee Jedi Rowoorr, who had just finished training his first Padawan Lucina, Rowoorr took him to quiet worlds outside of the growing Crisis. Humanitarian missions were the norm for him, as he went around the galaxy resolving issues from the medical crisis' to food shortages. He learned a lot from his master in these days, such as how to encourage plant life to grow in ways that would aide him, in ways to encourage the healing process in other living beings with the transfer of energy.
Rhon, his master, and his masters former Padawan Lucina were present after the second battle of Geonosis. Working in a forward operating base they set up a medical center and helped to defend it against Geonosian attack. As the war raged on Rhon eventually was returned to the temple after the Battle of Coruscant. Rowoorr being sent to Kashyyk to help Master Yoda repel the droid attack on the Wookiees.
