Name: Aria Blair (Revan) Race: Human Age: 17 (at the time we begin) Sex: Female Jedi Rank: [b]Padawan[/b]/Knight/Master Lightsaber Type: Single bladed lightsaber, purple crystal. [b]Theme Song:[/b] [center][youtube] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EnNJtbDlLQ8[/youtube][/center] [b]Appearance:[/b] Aria does not stand at an imposing height, but there’s always a presence about her wherever she is. Her uniquely violet eyes always appear thoughtful and meditative; ‘piercing’ as Master Zhar Lestin frequently comments when raving about his student. Shoulder length raven colored hair, a thin yet toned frame as she has taken to routine exercise. If you need an image, here are two. Just think a bit shorter hair.

[b]Background:[/b] Parents: unknown. Home world: unknown. Aria was left with the council on Dantooine with little information. No explanations, no questions asked, someone passed off the child and disappeared on their ship back into space. With no home, she had found one. With no knowledge of her parents, she was raised by the Jedi Order. From the beginning, the council recognized that the force was strong with her. But, they didn’t know quite how strong. Only when she grew older did they begin to see the aura of the force whirling about her. She was meant for great things, a brilliant destiny as they all hoped and believed. Aria found that there were others like her, simply left with the Jedi. Others were willfully given, parents proud to deliver their force sensitive children to the heroes of the galaxy; the paragons of virtue. She always felt somewhat left out from these stories, thinking of proud parents one day seeing the names of their children written in the annals of history. Would she simply be forgotten and left? Alone, like she started? The Jedi Code helped Aria find a certain inner peace. Raised to see the many sides of all things, she approached situations in a unique way. She refused to study in the ways of a Jedi Guardian, rather choosing the path of a Consular. Aria wanted to focus on her powers with the force, especially healing as it seemed to be her gift. She also took a keen interest to medicine, mixing in ideologies of the Sentinels. Though, many masters would say her true natural gift was saber combat. Even then, she still chose against the Guardian path. She simply wanted to work within the hospitals and help the ailing, to use her gifts to cut down the number of casualties in the undercities of places like Taris. Aria has a sense of duty to the innocent and helpless. “A remarkable student.” Zhar Lestin often remarked, always in awe of his padawan and her self-determined tendencies. Others wondered if her temperament could lead to an all too familiar path, the path of the Exar Kuns; the Ulic Qel Dromas… But, at every turn they seemed to be proven wrong. When a child was wounded in a kath hound hunt, Aria successfully healed him and refused any reward from the family. Once, she discovered the corpse of a young boy who had died due to an accident in which he fell. Aria took it upon herself to bring the body back and inform the family. Through her experiences with the Jedi, Aria was fast on her way to Knighthood, and was expected to be a great champion of the order. A healer, a true paragon of peace and prosperity. A symbol for the Jedi to live by. Destiny, however, had different plans. [b]Personality:[/b] Likes: Bodies of water, open fields, history, datapad journals/books, medicine, long discussions with other people, travel, music, exercise. Dislikes: Lightsaber combat, violence, rude people, war, waking up late, laziness, antithetical teachings within the Jedi; particularly the Guardian path. Her sense of humor can be sharp and cunning, but oftentimes falls under slapstick and pranking. She’s a prankster at heart, and even does this to her masters. Playful and fun in that way. Her current emotional state is rather stable and at peace. She’s learned a lot at her young age, but is yearning to know more. Aria wants to find her path and walk it sooner rather than later, to live in her responsibilities and care for those that need it. It’d take extreme things to break her spirit, things she has not faced yet. Even then, her inner resolve may surprise. Status wise, Aria is popular amongst her peers. Many like to be around her and hang out with her. She is mostly liked, but others deem her to be something of a ‘teacher’s pet’ when it comes to listening to the masters; even if that’s not what she’s like. Others, particularly the Guardians, don’t quite get along with her due to her strong opinions on fighting. Virtues: Kind-heart, enthusiasm, honor, honesty, persistence, bravery, fortitude, effort, loyal, leadership. Vices: Ambition, impatience, stubbornness, passion, pride, rashness. Perception of the world: Aria perceives the world, the galaxy, in a somewhat naïve way. She views things like justice in a black and white matter and holds highly optimistic hopes of what her abilities can do for those who suffer. A personable extrovert who can exhibit high amounts of introspective behavior alone, but more often than not she’s seen chatting with other knights, masters, and padawans when she’s not studying. Strong sense of morality, a black and white view of justice although that was somewhat shaken with her first master; Arren Kae. Aria did not spend enough time with Arren, as she feels. Her time with her lingers in the back of her mind, the voice of her first master echoing with an un-nameable purpose. At her age, Aria knows three languages and that number will continue to grow as she is a voracious learner and lover of different cultures; particularly the Echani. Attitude: Enthusiastic, daring, judgmental, passionate, kind. Secrets: Her one big secret is that once, a friend of hers was killed in an accident with a kath hound out in the Dantooine meadows. She showed an immense amount of rage and ended up killing several in anger. Aria has never brought it up to anyone, ever. It’s the single most shameful thing she’s ever done, according to her own feelings. Sometimes, she has dreams of baby kath pups screaming. Quirks: Despite Jedi codes on concepts of love and abstinence, when she’s close enough to a friend; she makes dirty jokes. Tends to find nicknames for people a lot. Talks to herself, and if you’re lucky you might catch her talking to herself in the third person or even having an imaginary argument with the person she’s angry with. When she learns something new, Aria will talk a friend’s ear off as if it’s the most galaxy-shattering fact in the universe. Eats any type of burger or sandwich type meal in a circle, biting all sides until there’s simply meat and bread all chewed up to the very core. Terrified of spiders, no matter how little. Embarrassed by her true laugh, it’s loud and contagious, and it always feels like her collar bone hurts when it happens. Lastly, she has a rather large fascination with Echani hand-to-hand combat from what she has learned. Aria wants to engage in the combat with someone, for despite her distaste for lightsaber combat somehow she loves the concept of truly learning to know someone through action rather than words. Hobbies: Running, reading, listening to music, playing the flute and singing (she’s rather talented), exploring different areas, climbing, learning languages, and pranking people. Her primary goal at the moment is to become a Jedi Knight learned in the ways of being a consular. Secondary goals are to travel across the galaxy and learn different cultures to sate her hunger for knowledge. Also rather keen on finding someone to fight hand to hand Echani style with her. She dreams of being a well-loved healer across the galaxy, to live a life of peace and happiness through the joy of what she can give. Though, she doesn’t have an inclination for master-hood unless it’s of the traveling sort. [hr] [b]Skills/Abilities:[/b] Aria is a padawan who many expect to be among the special cases who achieve knighthood faster than expected. She’s on the Consular path but with some Sentinel leanings in terms of medical practices. A dedicated healer and practitioner of alternative negotiation and diplomacy without violence. She’s a skilled healer through her fierce practice and determination, yet Aria is most gifted in lightsaber combat through natural ability. She shuns that part of her for the most part, however, even if masters implore her that her lightsaber is an extension of her soul. List of Light Side Force Powers and Corresponding Level of Mastery (You don’t have to copy me here, this is just how I chose to do it. Just make sure you have a good amount of strengths and weaknesses from which your character can develop from.) Force Healing – Inept/Intermediate/[b]Expert[/b]/Adept/Master Force Empathy - Inept/Intermediate/[b]Expert[/b]/Adept/Master Force Push – Inept/[b]Intermediate[/b]/Expert/Adept/Master Force Pull – Inept/[b]Intermediate[/b]/Expert/Adept/Master Force Resistance – Inept/[b]Intermediate[/b]/Expert/Adept/Master Her powers reside in the areas for the purposes of her learning. Focused healer and a strong connection with the force and the bonds with others. She plays around with pull and push for pranking purposes, don’t tell her masters! Lighstaber mastery level: A cross between intermediate and expert as her natural affinity for it suggests. Her style at the moment focuses more on defense than an offensive assault style. Strengths: Naturally gifted, strong-minded, courageous, born-to-be leader, daring. Skillful healer due to her incredible work ethic. Her medicinal skills are impressive at her level as well. Weaknesses: Overly ambitious, naïve in her idealism, rash, prone to angry outbursts, reckless. Terms of skillsets, a more saber-focused Jedi could take her on or even a Republic soldier and definitely a top level Mandalorian warrior.
