Lightsaber(s) hilt(s) and colour(s): Kraytan carries a Lightsaber Pike like all Jedi Temple Guards. However while the appearance of the Temple Guards are to be identical, his lightsaber can be split in the center to be dual wielded which gives him an advantage when in small areas where the full length of the pike would restrict the user. Like all Lightsaber Pikes, the blades are shorter and thicker, making them more powerful at slicing. The handle or staff is made of Kashyyyk wood and phrik alloy, but where the blades come out the metal is painted gold with a tiny gold gemstone towards the emitter to match the Temple Guards ceremonial look. The standard blade color for all Temple Guards is yellow, a rare color among Lightsabers, but a tradition that all Temple Guards follow and his lightsaber is none the different.
Yellow Lightsaber Pike that splits into dual lightsabers.
Other Equipment: Datapad, Slicer, Communicator, Family Crescent Pendant,
History: Kraytan was born to a pair of Jedi who decided to that rules were meant to be broken. His father A Guardian Master and his mother a Consular Knight. He was kept hidden from the eyes of the Jedi Council who were of the relationship between his parents, suspecting is was more than just mutual... Time went on and eventually the Jedi were given a "tip" as to where to find a strong force sensitive child on Naboo. Kraytan had been placed in the care of some of his mothers very close friends to hide him until the time was right for him to be recruited into the Jedi Order. Kraytan was an excellent student, he learned fast, studied hard, and practiced to the point of exhaustion. He was a true go getter like his father, but a hard worker like his mother. Soon he was "selected" to be his mothers padawan unbeknownst that his mother was his master. She talk him much in the ways of the force, teaching him to be slow to use force, that the road of patience was one with many doors held open. He learned to master very unique force abilities while under her tutelage, however he never left Coruscant with her. She was an excellent master, but she had no taste for adventure other than the assignments the Council tasked her with. At a young age where adventure is all one seeks, Kraytan became restless in his constant time spent in studying, practicing, and honing his skills of the force. Now was the time he put those skills to the test.
Seeing her son's restless desire for freedom and to see the galaxy, she employed the help of his father to give Kraytan what he sought most. His father agreed to take the reigns as his son's master and took him on a series of trips to the Outer Rim. They faced assassins, mercenaries, bounty hunters, armies, overlords, anything that stood in the way of peace on the multitude of worlds they travelled across. along this journeys Kraytan began to learn the other side of being a Jedi, lightsaber forms and combat. He had spent much time cooped up in the Temple that he had rarely been given the chance to really use his lightsaber skills. Just as how he had inherited his mother's skills for elegance, he very well inherited his father's bashfulness. He had gone from the lifestyle of a Consular to that of a Guardian and was well enjoying it. However his years as a Padawan were coming to an end. His mother and father had passed on as much knowledge as they could to their son and he had absorbed every last lesson. His father contacted the Council and requested he take the Trials of Knighthood.
Kraytan was deemed a true Jedi Knight after the passing of all the trials, which he had been more than capable of doing. However his hardest decision came when choosing whether to follow the path of Consular of Guardian, both of which he had great love for. Patience was a virtue, but action spoke louder. Kraytan was caught in a conflict that he couldn't resolve and so allowed the Force to guide him to where he would found peace between the two; he became a Jedi Sentinel and walked both roads evenly. It was clear that he couldn't choose one over the other for certain situations required certain skills. Sometimes he would simply have to knock on a door to open it, others he would have to bash it down, and other times he would have to hack into the security system and open it that way. There was no more right way over the other. This choice pleased his parents deeply, feeling that their son had made a wise decision, too wise for someone his age. His father gave him a pedant that he had said belonged to his father. He promised the man he would give it to his son when he passed his trials. IT was a simple pendant of his family's symbol and on the back it contained an ancient prophecy that said
"When Three siblings meet from three different families of the same family, the fate of the Galaxy will be chosen." Kraytan pondered over the words, but in the end did not give it too much thought as it was no doubt a simple fable of some sort.
As a new knight he travelled the Galaxy on assignments from the Council and accomplished many a great deeds. Saving planets from war, stopping assassins, and helping little old ladies across the hyper lanes all in a day's work. As he completed more and more missions, he became more and more weary. He had many sleepless nights, being bombarded with horrible Force Visions of burning towers and pillars of smoke. He could hear the screams of many and the sound of thousands of marching feet and the blank faces of what looked like Mandalorians. The visions became to great for him to bear and he sought the guidance of one of his former masters, his mother. Travelling back to Coruscant he consulted with her, but sadly she had no answers other than the Force will reveal more to his vision when the time comes. Kraytan agreed, but for some reason was already beginning to feel better. He decided that he would extend his stay at the Jedi Temple, figuring perhaps his visions were so strenuous on him because he was perhaps home sick.
His extended stay soon turn into a permanent one as his Force Visions abandoned him all together and he enlisted into the Jedi Temple Guard service. He dawned the blank mask of the Temple Guards to show that he had disconnected his emotions from the world around him and stood to protect the innocent and make judgment on those who threatened the peace. It was a simple job, but come the start of the Clone Wars it became more tedious as protestors organized outside the Temple, various intruders sought to sabotage the Temple, and even Jedi succumbing to the Dark Side. If things weren't bad enough his visions returned and he still could not make any sense of them.
