Okay I gave up. Let me know if you need changes. [hider=Anari Sato][b][/b][center][color=fff79a][b]Name[/b][/color] – Anari Sato [color=fff79a][b]Species[/b][/color] - Human [color=fff79a][b]Sex[/b][/color] - Female [color=fff79a][b]Age[/b][/color] - 28 [color=fff79a][b]Faction[/b][/color] – The Republic / Jedi Order [color=fff79a][b]Rank[/b][/color] – Jedi Knight ([url=http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Jedi_Shadow]Shadow[/url]) [color=fff79a][b]Appearance[/b][/color] – [img]https://i.pinimg.com/originals/68/3c/cd/683ccd43edbe6d360817a0acdb481c4f.jpg[/img] Anari is a lean and lithe woman of 5’9, built strong from rigorous training and years of combat. Her skin is tight and tough to the touch with strong muscle beneath every fiber of skin, often hidden behind her clothing and robes. Her bare knuckles have faded scars, and her back has evidence of vibroblade scarring. [color=fff79a][b]Apparel[/b][/color] - [hider=Traditional Jedi Robes][img]http://i.imgur.com/9ha8ELu.jpg[/img][/hider] [color=fff79a][b]Lightsaber(s)[/b][/color] - [hider=Lightsaber][img]https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1440/9434/products/s1_a11974ea-c1ef-4434-9ff6-574659ee21a8_1024x1024.jpg?v=1474397359[/img] This lightsaber has been carried with her since it was first constructed, helping her slay Sith and render weapons inoperable. The crystal burns a powerful yellow, shining in the darkest corridors. [/hider] [color=fff79a][b]Equipment[/b][/color] – 500 credits, Homing Beacon x2, Computer Spike x3, Holocommunicator, personal Aurek-class fighter (contains two days’ worth of military-grade rations, as well as one vambrace belonging to her father, equipped with stun darts). [color=fff79a][b]Force Powers[/b][/color] – In the four years after the war between Jedi and Sith, Anari spent considerable time focusing on a core group of Force powers that suited her personality and approach most. These powers enable her to make drawing her saber a last resort. [color=f7976a][i]Force Push[/i][/color] – [color=f7976a][b]Expert[/b][/color] [color=f7976a][i]Force Pull[/i][/color] – [color=f7976a][b]Expert[/b][/color] [color=f7976a][i]Force Sense[/i][/color] – [color=f7976a][b]Expert[/b][/color] [color=f7976a][i]Force Jump[/i][/color] – [color=f7976a][b]Expert[/b][/color] [color=f7976a][i]Mind Trick[/i][/color] – [color=f7976a][b]Expert[/b][/color] [color=f7976a][i]Force Speed[/i][/color] – [color=f7976a][b]Expert[/b][/color] [color=f7976a][i]Force Clouding[/i][/color] – [color=f7976a][b]Intermediate[/b][/color] [color=fff79a][b]Known Lightsaber Forms[/b][/color] – [color=f7976a][i]Shii-Cho[/i][/color] – [color=f7976a][b]Expert[/b][/color] [color=f7976a][i]Makashi[/i][/color] – [color=f7976a][b]Expert[/b][/color] [color=f7976a][i]Ataru[/i][/color] – [color=f7976a][b]Expert[/b][/color] With the conclusion of the recent war, her interest in any other form is nonexistent. She seeks only to better her style with these three. However, despite having no interest in becoming a practitioner in other styles, Anari understands the role of those she does not practice and is familiar with the basics. Her lengthy period away from the Jedi prevented her from learning among others. [color=fff79a][b]Skills[/b][/color] – [color=f7976a][i]Computer Use[/i][/color] – Anari is impressive behind a computer console in speed and knowledge, able to bypass security systems with relative ease to unlock new routes and possibilities. Managing and rerouting power, accessing files sealed tight—a couple of many talents she possesses. What she cannot access with her own talents, she will utilize computer spikes to get around. If even computer spikes fail, she’ll… improvise, rare as it is. [color=f7976a][i]Demolitions[/i][/color] – Her time during war was not only spent practicing her skills, but also adapting to the skills of others. One of these skills was the handling and deactivation of explosive devices, specifically explosive charges. Setting and deactivating explosives was part of her wartime experience, and the knowledge has served her well even years after the war ended. [color=f7976a][i]Indomitable Will[/i][/color] – Even as a child Anari’s mental fortitude was beyond that of her superiors. She can withstand Force-assisted tortures and breaches into her mind, making her impossible to interrogate effectively for information regarding her or others. She would laugh at the frustration of those that tried if it wasn’t so pathetic. [color=f7976a][i]Evasive Pilot[/i][/color] – In the seat of a fighter, Anari is extremely difficult to lock on and shoot down. Those assisted by the Force have a better shot than more ‘normal’ aces. Get creative before she makes the jump to lightspeed. [color=f7976a][i]Convincing[/i][/color] – Anari can tell a lie as if it were truth, even without the aid of the Force to influence the mind of the one she works to convince. [color=f7976a][i]Hand-to-hand specialization[/i][/color] – Trained by her brother, Anari is not powerless even without her saber and Force powers. She knows of techniques to disarm foes in melee combat should her saber not be in reach. [color=fff79a][b]Flaws[/b][/color] – [color=f7976a][i]Out of practice[/i][/color] – Since the last war ended, Anari has taken a step back from her martial practices to bring more focus to the Force as well as her skills in technology and computer use. Due to her loner ways, she has not kept up with actual sparring practice with other Jedi, and is likely going to lose in a head-on fight with those who have more interest in swordplay and shootouts in the last four years. [color=f7976a][i]Refusing Medical Assistance[/i][/color] – Every wound is a lesson. Her stubbornness to accept medical assistance has made her stronger as both a Jedi and a person, at least in her mind. If she has taken a wound from combat, she will dress it however she can and continue forward. The only treatments she will accept are those designed to prevent the spread of infection and disease, as well as immunizations. [color=f7976a][i]Loner[/i][/color] – Anari has given up leading squads of soldiers and Jedi into battle, choosing to work alone for a majority of the last few years since the war ended. Because of this, she cannot effectively inspire any who work under her, nor does she wish to. This also makes her difficult to partner with. It will take time to get used to working with others again. Her ability to work as a teammate is a work-in-progress. [color=f7976a][i]Lack of presence[/i][/color] – Her strength as an agent against the Dark Side is also her weakness. Because she does not want to stand out in any circumstance, Anari works to maintain a low profile across worlds and operations, leaving her without a reputation to make use of. This means that, unless working with forces she fought with during the war, she cannot allocate resources or favors from military leaders. As a Shadow, she does not mind this for herself, but if it came to seeking outside help there would be few she could count on. [color=f7976a][i]Insubordination[/i][/color] – Anari has a problem with being ordered, even since she was a Padawan. If she sees a better opportunity than the one presented to her, she will often go ‘off script’ if she believes there are better results to obtain by doing so. While her skills as a Jedi are praised, her frequent inability to do as she is told has led many of her peers from requesting her aid. Recruiting her means accepting that you will be questioned, and that she will always try to find the best way to resolve something quickly. [color=f7976a][i]Protector[/i][/color] – As one who believes herself a protector of the innocent, the innocent can be used against her. Her life means nothing to her, but what of the innocents across the galaxy you place in front of yourself? She places the safety of others above her own wellbeing. This can be used against her, and it has. [center][b]Personality[/b] – Anari is compassionate and loving despite the neutral expression she often wears. She often places herself in the shoes of those that have been wronged and who seek justice against those that have wronged them. The Jedi way was to be neutral in most affairs, yet she always saw the angles that made the most sense to her and found a side to support if it was just. This often led her to conflict with those who followed the code by the letter, frowning at her blatant support of one over the other, and led to her graduating from Padawan to Knight later than what she was capable of. To strangers she is ‘spooky’, always managing to appear and disappear when they least expect her to, but to her comrades and friends both in the Order and the military, she is a breath of fresh air. She jokes, she smiles, she laughs with them—all things that they aren’t used to. It raises the question of what kind of Jedi she really is, and she has not found an answer other than that she is only herself and her experiences up to that point. Not wanting to lose who she is to the Code she follows, Anari balances her Jedi self with what she believes she really is without the instruction she received. When it comes to facing foes, all goodness is concealed behind her focused stare and state of mind. She works to end conflicts before they even begin, but time and time again she’s seen that she cannot defuse every volatile situation with words and kindness alone. It is because of this that she trained her body and mind into that of a peacemaker who always works to disarm a foe and allow them to tire out before landing a blow of her own. If innocent lives are on the line, she is faster, stronger, and more abusive than any have bear witness to. She will always do what she must, even if the Jedi way disagrees with her.[/center] [hider=Incredibly uninteresting backstory][color=fff79a][b]Backstory[/b][/color] – Born a twin from the love between Republic Fleet Admiral Nay-Su Sato, and Mandalorian Sardei Vorne of Clan Vorne, a Jedi serving aboard Nay-Su’s vessel sensed the strength of the Force within only her daughter and brought her to the Jedi. That was the most she was told when she was old enough to ask questions, and only because she never stopped asking them. Anari’s upbringing within the order was just the same as any other student she grew with. She asked more questions and wanted more answers than her peers, and put any new skills she was taught into practice. Eventually her curiosity attracted the attention of an olive-skinned Twi’lek Jedi Master named Eshami Karu, who spoke with her for a time before deciding her as her new Padawan. It wasn’t long before the two became inseparable; Anari was always beside her, learning more of what it meant to be a true Jedi, and followed her instructions carefully. She later found out that Eshami was just as curious as her, choosing locations that were far from her peers and bettering the galaxy in her own way. Her methods weren’t conventional, but the results were undeniable; artifacts of the Sith were discovered and ‘dealt with’ in ways of her choosing, only this time she had someone to teach about the dangers these artifacts possessed. Knowledge was power, but some knowledge needed to be destroyed for the greater good. It was Eshami’s approach to problems that caused Anari to admire her. She was peaceful even in the face of possible danger, yet was always prepared to unleash herself if need be. She was a Shadow who worked away from her brothers and sisters in the order, delving into dark places to help protect those from what lurked within. The final war that emerged between Jedi and Sith called them to action, forcing them to abandon their pilgrimage across the stars and help defend the Jedi Order and the Republic that they served. Their exploits were many, but the exposure was few. Only those that took part in their assignments and the Jedi Council knew of all they had done during the war: Scouting behind enemy lines, freeing prisoners, and the occasional assassination of Sith within their own enclaves and temples. The names didn’t matter. Only results. By the time the war concluded, Anari had risen from Padawan to Knight. It was Eshami’s wish that Anari see the galaxy with her own two eyes, being guided by the Force and her own instincts. The two parted, and for four years Anari traveled across the Core Worlds and Inner Rim territories to learn more about who she was—not just a Jedi, but where she came from, what blood ran through her veins, and what it meant to her now. A decorated Fleet Admiral for a mother. A Mandalorian father. A brother she fought with, but never side by side. In these four year’s she embraced her family and accepted the risk of the attachments fully, loving them regardless of the Jedi Code. When news reached her regarding a dark cult amassing on Ashal, Anari abandoned her journey in solitude, ceased all practices of her growing strength in the Force, and made for the Task Force assigned to end this threat before it consumed anyone else.[/hider] [/center][/hider]
