Name: Lokk Vao Gender: Male Race: Twilek Appearance: Blue, scrawny, and usually wearing jedi robes. Personality: A peaceful man, he tries to solve every situation without violence, but some times you have to use violence. He is more neutral in his use of the force than the Jedi of old would have him be, as he recognizes that there are times when Fear and anger, dark side emotions, are an appropriate response, and times when light side emotions will not help. He is always careful to not let these darker emotions consume him, knowing that they will only result in violence. Backstory/History: Born to a prostitute on Nar Shadaa, he grew up fast, always trying to earn money any way he could. When he found that he had a gift for negotiation, he used it in much the same way. He made money through trading. Though he sometimes lost money, it was usually because he thought that more could be made in the long run if he sold the space captain cheap power cells, or gave the refugees food at cost. His dealings with so many sentient races taught him several languages, including Basic, Huttese, some Mandolorian, and even Sheriwook. When he was thirteen he found out that a local starship mechanic owed a lot of money to a local Hutt, a being notorious for his underground fighting arenas. Lokk talked with the Hutt on the man's behalf and reached an agreement. In exchange for sparing his life, the man would work part time for the Hutt repairing the damage the fighters and patrons did to his arenas. Out of gratitude the man offered to teach him how to make simple repairs to many technological devices for a price, a deal that Lok took, knowing that refurbished ship parts brought quite a descent price compared to non-functioning components. He even managed to recondition an old R1 droid, though he couldn't find anyone willing to pay much for it. He kept it at home, letting it do the cleaning that he didn't like doing. When a local rivalry between two Hutts heated up, he started studying medicine, knowing that soon their would be a huge demand for many medicines. He learned to craft many medical supplies which functioned well enough, though they weren't up to the standards of the local hospitals. Made from local chemicals and organics, he sold them to both sides, and used his skills as a negotiator to keep either side from caring that he was essentially double-dealing. One day a ship landed on Nar Shadaa at a nearby landing pad carrying a Jedi Knight. The Knight saw how skillfully he manipulated the situation he was dealing with, a bar patron that had run up a substantial tab from drinking too much Juma Juice, and wondered if the boy, might have been unknowingly manipulating them through the force. He tested the boy, paying him a few credits for his trouble, and found that the boy had a somewhat impressive midichlorian count. He asked if the boy would accompany him back to Corruscant for further testing, and he agreed, realizing that the ability to use the Force would open up whole new worlds to him and, at the very least, would aid him in his negotiations. Strengths: He has a strong will, making his abilities stronger, and he is able to find compromise is almost every situation. He is a skilled trader, and knows a little about anything of value, letting him find things that are rare. Weaknesses: Bad with a lightsaber and combat in general. He is often forced to runaway from dangerous situations, and doesn't return until he either has to or he believes he knows of a non-violent way out of the situation. Abilities/Skills: Tech and medicine savy, but by no means an expert. Force healing: Heals minor injuries on himself and others. Revitalize: Resuscitate the unconscious or the recently deceased. Doesn't work if they are too injured. Knight speed: Uses the force to enhance his movement speed. Mind trick: Can make people, especially the weak willed, accept simple things. The more it goes against their view and beliefs, the harder it is to manipulate them. Force stealth: Hides his strength and alignment in the force from other force users. With enough concentration, he disappears from force senses all together, though he isn't skilled enough yet to move or even look around in this deepest state, as it requires deep meditation.
