Her hair is white and is cut a few inches shorter than shoulder length with emerald green eyes. [b]Equipment:[/b] [hider=Crossguard Saber] [img]https://img.roleplayerguild.com/prod/users/58410f9a-2ec1-47d4-8963-9084e8ab9c50.png[/img] Allira had always found the design of several of the saber designs within the Jedi Archives fascinating, but those that fed into her love of dueling were the most interesting. While many Jedi considered a saber that functioned for both anti-blaster and anti-saber archaic, as the Sith were wiped out and Dark Jedi detained, but the Mirialian had never been one to take history at face value. The hilt is made of Phrik for lightsaber to lightsaber combat and the blade is a teal color, with a special modification to make it seem as if the main blade is pulsing.[/hider] Wrist Mounted Comlink- As was common for Jedi generals to use during the Clone Wars, Allira has a com unit on her wrist, which also serves as a makeshift SOS buoy if needed. [b]Skills:[/b] Linguist-During her time as a Jedi and over the course of her time as a General in the Grand Army of the Republic, Allira picked up many different languages, and while she can only speak a handful fluently, she can understand many of them quite well. Duelist-While the art of lightsaber vs lightsaber combat is considered archaic and outdated, Allira still took the time to master lightsaber dueling and combat to a high degree, especially Form II, Makashi and Form V, Shien/Djem So as well as Form VII, Juyo. This makes her a versatile duelist and a deadly combatant. Combat Medic-Despite her specialty as a duelist, Allira is also a decent healer, knowing more about how to work medical equipment than expected as well as knowing a couple of Force abilities that heal as well. [b]Abilities:[/b] Telekinesis: Push, pull, Wave, Jump, name it, she can do it with a decent amount of skill, befitting a Knight of her role. Force Heal- Due to her knowledge of medical equipment, she decided to learn Force Heal, as a way of pretreating anyone who was injured before a proper medic reached them or she could get them to a medical bay. Force Stasis-A power that paralyzes the body of the target, leaving them conscious, but unable to move or speak. Non-lethal and good for keeping troublesome wildlife away. Mind Trick-While not effective against droids, it was effective against the few organic crew members onboard Separatist ships. Knows other variations as well. Force Speed-Uses the Force to give herself a temporary but powerful increase in sprint and reaction speeds. Lasts about ten seconds. [b]Weaknesses:[/b] Overprotective- Because of the loss of so many close friends, and her first Padawan, over the course of the Clone Wars, Allira has a hard time not making sure that all of the crew members of the ship are accounted for and in good health. Should a foe find out about this overprotection, she could be lured into any number of traps. Mild PTSD- Despite having seen almost two and a half years of combat at the head of a Clone Legion, Allira still has flashbacks that will leave her a mess afterwards, making functioning on a normal level difficult for a few hours. Duelist- While one of her greatest strengths, it’s also one of her greatest weaknesses. She’s shown little inclination of learning how to use a blaster and her ranged defense is weaker than her melee. [b]History:[/b] Allira Korsan was born on her people’s home planet, Mirial. From a young age, she was raised with a strong sense of spiritual connection and knew more about the Force by the age of twelve than most Jedi younglings would come to know in their entire stay in the Jedi Temple and Enclaves. At fourteen, she was sent, at her own request to a teacher at a youth academy, to the Jedi, where she was tested and made a Padawan. Her time under her mentor and teacher, Jedi Master Jacen Kortell, another Mirialan, was just shy of four years, after which she joined the Order as a proper Knight after completion of her Jedi Trials. It was seven years later, ten after the Trade Federation’s invasion of Naboo, that the Clone Wars were sparked. Even at the start of the war and before, the young girl showed an interest and mastery in lightsaber dueling that hadn’t been seen by many others in the Order since the Sith were still a serious threat nearly one thousand years before. In fact, when she had built her saber, she had built a crossguard saber, a design that, while not as elegant as the former Master Dooku’s curved saber was, was still effective for dueling and prevented many of the disarming techniques favored by other duelists. However, she was also a vocal advocate of teaching more dueling techniques far and wide, as she was far from convince that just because the archives said the Sith were gone, did not mean it was true. And so it was that she spent much time in debate with many of the Order's masters when she wasn't in the process of perfecting her form and teaching the younglings who were interested in her classes. It was something of a point of contention, and so it was little surprise that she was chosen as general for a Clone legion when the Wars began. When the Clone legions were introduced and generals chosen for each one, Allira was placed in command of the 172nd Infantry Brigade, alongside her Padawan, Jerna Harna, yet another Mirialan, and her Clone Commander, CC-2837, or “Breaker”. They saw over six major planetside battles during her time as general of the 172nd and numerous skirmishes and space battles, but the one that broke her was on the planet Arsama. Despite heavy losses to the 172nd and it’s mechanized support, the 83rd Mechanized Unit, the battle was turning into a victory. Reaching a crossroads, she split their forces between herself and Jerna, who was nearing ready for her Trials to become a Knight, while having Breaker go back to check on the wounded. It was routine enough, regular check ins at five minute intervals so that if something were going wrong, they would know. And then it fell apart. The two groups came under attack from Commando Droids and Droideka squads, a number of clones falling before their respective Jedi could rally them and take to the front. As always, Allira was in the midst of them, her saber cleaving through the Droids that got in her way as she cut a path towards her padawan. She could hear the panic in her voice as she’d called return fire before the coms had cut, and it had caused a panic in Allira for the safety of her charge. When she arrived, the sight was far from pleasant. The surviving clones were still gathering up the dead and wounded, many of the dead having been cut up by the commando droids's vibroblades, but she could find no sign of her padawan learner. She moved around until she found a group of commando droids slumped on top of something and, after moving them aside with the Force, fell to her knees in heartbreak. It had taken three droids, two from behind and one from the front, to defeat her student, their vibroblades impaling her through her chest and midsection, but they had been rendered into little else but scrap for their efforts. Allira had always, in the minds of her Masters, treaded dangerously close to the Darkside as she refused to keep the tight reign on her emotions most Jedi did. In this moment, there was evidence of why it was considered dangerous as she rose to her feet and strode towards the last of the Separatist forces, which had holed up in an old but sturdy mansion. Potshots were taken, but none hit, her lightsaber deflecting the bolts deftly back into the windows from whence they came, though she never knew if she’d actually hit their owners. She focused all her power on the structure before bringing it down, but she didn’t stop after it collapsed. She kept using the Force to shove it down, along with all the droids and a few Separatis supporters that had been inside it. After several seconds, she released, leaving nothing more than a crater, though it was small. Afterwards, and after apologizing to Breaker, she resigned from her position of General for the 172nd and joined Master Azure on his exploration vessel, where she hoped to gain a sense of peace before returning to the battlefield. That never happened though, a few months into their voyage, she, as did every Jedi aboard the ship, felt the deaths of thousands of Jedi, and after deliberation, and a message recalling all Jedi to the temple being received, set course for Coruscant. Upon reaching the outer reaches of the Outer Rim, Master Kenobi’s message was received, and the ship now holds position in space, a new direction yet to be chosen as this betrayal from within has rocked the crew. Allira feels that taking the fight to this new Empire is the best course, as the loss of her Padawan and all the other Jedi has left her wanting little more than justice for the fallen. And she has the dueling skills to do it.[/hider]
