Jedi Knight Ra'kyrs Arva
Age: 35
Species: Kel Dor
Physical Appearance: Ra'kyrs is typical of his species, around six feet tall, some one hundred and ninety pounds, and of a peach colour. He is sometimes mistaken for his far more famous kin, Plo Koon, though the two of are of no relation. His eyes are inky black and lack the silver iris often associated with affinity for the force. Like all his kind living off-world, he is forced to wear an antiox breath mask and protective goggles whenever in atmospheres of a different composition
Lightsaber: Ra'kyrs has built a basic silver lightsabre with green blade.
Skills: Working as agents to the Jedi High Council, a Jedi Investigators is highly certified to work with law enforcement agencies in tracking down criminals and uncovering hidden and obscure threats to the galaxy and the Galactic Republic. Appointed by the Council, Ra'kyrs had been charged with rooting out threats via the skills he had learned in his law enforcement role, and his Force abilities.
Often times, Ra'kyrs works completely independent of official agencies when going deep undercover, infiltrating organizations under suspicion, and using guile, deception or even force in addition to detective skills to achieve his goals. Working from within, Ra'kyrs has been successful in neutralizing the enemy before galactic conflict could arise. Due to the secretive nature of his work, few are aware of the success he has achieved. He ahs conducted intelligence gathering operations on known criminal syndicates, pirate groups, assassin organizations, as well as individual criminals and report his findings to the Council.
Force Abilities:
The Core powers are the first powers a Jedi learns, and directly affect his/her own body or objects without actually harming or benefiting anything (except for Push, which could be used against enemies). They are common among all Jedi and Sith. Ra'kyrs has proven Mastery in skills that allow him to move through an area unseen by effecting the minds of those around him, and to discern, or even read the minds, of suspects.
Weaknesses: Ra'kyrs has been living the solo operative life for nearly twenty years, a task he once took to with extreme enthusiasm. However, as can sometimes happen during undercover operations, he has sampled the dark side and done "things" in the name of the mission he is not proud of. Some were to protect his cover, others because he has very little oversight in his role. He struggles regularly discerning between what needs to be done, and what should be done.
Character History: Ra-kyrs does not have a terribly exciting youth. He grew up on Dorian and was recruited into the Jedi Order by Plo Koon, who would become his Master, at the tender age of six. He proved to have enough skill to pass the trials and would eventually be recognized for his mischievous nature and ability to wield the force as a cloak from which he could evade his peers.
That skillset was recognized by the Council and he was sent for training as a Jedi Sentinel where he excelled as an investigator. Originally paired with a partner in Republic Intelligence he joined regular investigations on friendly worlds, rooting our crimelords and possible terrorist elements. With the justice system being what could be described as "liberal", he encountered any number of troublemakers on a regular basis and converted many of them into agents who provided him information on other operations.
His actions were highlighted to the Jedi Council, and leadership in Republic Intelligence. In an effort to capitalize on the young Jedis abilities, he was assigned to a covert unit whose task it was to infiltrate and dismantle large scale terrorist or revolutionary groups within Republic territory. At this, he proved to have no equal. Over the last twenty years he has successfully dismantled, through personal action, or information obtained, prevented no less than a dozen would be assassins, terrorist attacks, or subversion attempts.
The very nature of his position makes him a virtually unknown face around the Temple. Certainly he is nothing like Plo Koon, a famous General and revered figure within the Republic. His commanders have previously told him that no one will truly know how many lives he has saved.
Order 66: Ra'kyrs was in the refresher when Order 66 was executed. An inglorious place to be, but it likely saved his life. It was rare for him to be back in the capital and in between assignments, but the Force moves in mysterious ways. He was able to evade detection through his training and convince the Clone Troopers he encountered that he was a diplomat and should be permitted to leave at once. Unable to reach his ship, he has fled into the deeper reaches of Coruscant and is debating what to do next.
I'm not huge on my Jedi skills and Canon/Legends. I just enjoy Star Wars. I've taken my best shot at it, let me know if it works!
