| {Species} |Human // CORUSCANTI
| {Gender} |Male
| {Force Sensitive/Alignment} |Yes - Light Alignment
| {Appearance} |Koren stands at 5’8, his eyes a piercing green. He almost always wears his white coat and combat trousers rather than the traditional Jedi Robes, which he keeps for ceremony only. White shirt with a carbon fibre weave, jacket that lowers down to near the floor cut in the middle which allows him to have an ease of movement boots and combat trousers all with silver trim. He doesn’t cut a very imposing figure physically, however his facial features are sharp, yet kind.
| {Equipment and Personal Belongings} |- Lightsaber: One silver hilted Lightsabers with cyan blades.
- Nova Class Cruiser: As the leader of the Hapan Military he is awarded certain liberties, such as his own Cruiser. The Resolute.
- 1x DL-44 Heavy Blaster Pistol: Since his role in life has changed, he’s had to adapt to new challenges. A blaster helps.
- Jedi Robes: He still wears his robes ceremoniously, or whenever he journeys into Mandalorian or Corellian Republic Space.
- Form II Mastery: Koren is well experienced at Makashi the duelist form, fluid in the movements of the blade and the art of duelling.
- Form III Understanding: Like all Jedi Koren has a rudimentary understanding of Soresu, able to deflect Blaster Bolts with relative ease.
- Blaster Training: While he has been training others in use of the Force he has also been trained in the use of a blaster. He is no Clone, Mandalorian or soldier.
- 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 Koren 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: Koren can manipulate plant life to grow to his whim, entangling and ensnaring victims.
- Hapan Politics: It may not seem like a Weakness, but despite his belief that he is a Jedi First whether he likes it or not he is tied to Hapes, their policies and their way of life. He knows that he has to act accordingly, as a foreign diplomat as anything he does can reflect on his wife and the place that gave him a home when he had nowhere else to go. There are things he has had to see, and leave alone, for knowing he cannot act to correct the issues.
- Out of Touch: While he had some joyous years in Hapes there was always a constant worry for what was going on within the wider Galaxy, he didn’t know what was happening to the Republic or the Jedi Order. While he knows now what factions are in play, he still doesn’t know what happened to the Younglings he was with, or his master.
- Hapan Royal Court: The Line of Succession is a brutal game within the Consortium. As Crown Prince within the Consortium, he is under constant threat by some of the more proactive noble families who feel that their heir would be a better candidate. While an act on his life is treason, several have already tried.
| {Personality} |Koren is a calm and confident individual. He knows his place in the Galaxy, and his role within it. His time in the Hapes Consortium has changed him, he is more confident and understanding. He is kind and compassionate, and light. While he deviates from the Jedi Code slightly he still believes wholeheartedly in the Light Side of the Force.
He is a peaceful individual with little desire to take part in combat. Preferring to spread the word of peace.
| {Place of Origin} |Koren isn’t entirely sure where he is from, he was born and raised at the site of the former Jedi Temple on Coruscant.
| {Background} |Koren was raised in the Jedi Temple in what was a pretty unspectacular growing up. Like many of the Younglings, he received tutelage by multiple masters in his den. When he became old enough to train he had a relatively unremarkable time undergoing his basic training. He underwent the Gathering on Illum to get his lightsaber crystal, joined as a Padawan under the tutelage to Jedi Knight Wrorror Unduli an Ithorian Jedi. Despite the threat and then the ensuing Clone Wars Koren and his master kept out the majority of the war, neither had the expertise that was deemed vital to the war effort. Instead, they were kept primarily as peacekeepers. They worked a variety of conflicts throughout the Clone Wars on Republic Worlds, always behind the frontline. As Koren was put through the trials and became a Jedi Knight he was moved aboard a Praxeum ship in order to help facilitate the teaching of Younglings on their crystal quests.
It was during this time that Knightfall occurred, fearing for the life of himself and the young Initiates Koren had the autopilot of the ship take them into the Hapes Cluster, a sector of space where he decided that they would be safe from any threats. The gasses and various gravitational fields making it difficult to track ships as well as for ships to travel in hyperspace. What they weren’t expecting was a ship far faster than anything they had seen of its class bearing down on them and being boarded. It was then that the Young Jedi discovered the Hapes Consortium. Initially, Prisoners, there was one who saw the potential benefit of having Jedi. The Chume’da, heir to the throne. Allana Tryl, she heard about the plight and the war going on outside the Cluster and feared if the war should ever find them. With her influence, she convinced the ruling Queen Mother to release the Younglings in exchange for Korens continued support in training a new Royal Guard, he gathered up any Force Sensitives within Hapan Space and taught them the basics of using the Force.
During the years that followed Koren and Allana became close, through her sheer power of will and insistence Koren was thrust into the complicated world of Hapan politics. Under threat as he became consort to the future Queen. He had to continue proving his worth as he fell for the Chume’da. On edge as other noble families had been grooming their own heirs to one day become consort to the Queen. Despite this the fledgeling romance between the Jedi Knight and Chume’da blossomed, eventually leading to marriage between the two individuals of incredibly different backgrounds. The controversy expanded after the marriage, with no Prince currently married to the Queen Mother Hapan Law stated that the consort of the Chume’da, if there should be one, would be the head of the military. Many within the Royal Court fought this law, as this meant that not only was the royal guard trained and maintained by this Jedi Outsider but now the entire military fell under his jurisdiction. Many within the industrial complex had no issue with it, it was their Queens will Afterall and Koren had proved himself formidable and fair through his years as the head of the Royal Guard. Koren tried to convince the Queen Mother to allow him to leave the Cluster, to establish contact with the Republic. For fear that the Jedi Order was hunted and on the run, fear that everything he knew would be gone.
She continued to refuse till the day she died, stating that he was part of the Hapes Cluster now, and that was where his loyalties should lie. Yet despite his marriage, a blatant act against the Jedi Way of Life and his position as commander in chief of the Hapan Military he had always seen himself as a Jedi First. So when the Queen Mother passed and Allana rose to the position, he convinced her that they should establish contact with the outside galaxy. Months later and he is now aboard his cruiser destined for Mandalore. Having made contact with the Republic there, he finds himself nervous for what he's about to find, for what the Jedi Council will think of him and most importantly, what the future holds for him and his union with Hapes.
