[hider=Master Jet Quanades] Name: Jet Quanades Age: 46 Class: Jedi Guardian Home Planet: Coruscant _________________ [center][img]https://i.pinimg.com/564x/01/bd/e9/01bde9179afb879e64d56e2ca484d9d9.jpg[/img][/center] [indent][b]Personality:[/b] Master Quanades has a reputation which follows him around. To say he is bad-tempered is an understatement, and while emotional outbursts are more than frowned upon within the Jedi Order, it has been established that underneath the harsh exterior, Quanades's heart is in the right place, and he has had many warmer moments with others too. He is sarcastic, at times mean, and short of patience for mistakes. Such traits don't make a great Jedi Master, but it is his ability to get the job done that keeps him from flying too close to the radar of potential exile. He is extremely trustworthy and loyal to the Republic and Jedi Order. He is harsh, impatient, and prone to lashing out in his teaching. He has in some ways softened out since being assigned as Kos'nora's Master, and he does have a respect and appreciation for her ways. He does not put enough trust in her, however, and as such has prevented her from taking her Jedi Knight Trial - in some way to protect her from it, and also because he does enjoy the company after having spent so many years alone. He will never admit any of this to her. Unlike his Padawan, he is a very 'grey' Jedi, flowing like water between what is considered to be 'good' and 'bad' in order to get the job, whatever the job, done. [/indent] [indent][b]History:[/b] Jet Quanades was born on Coruscant to a fairly wealthy family. When he was just 6 years old, he was sent to become a Jedi initiate after finding himself to be Force Sensitive. He worked much harder than his peers at his studies, becoming a Padawan at 10 - he was considered quite the prodigy and easily mastered lightsaber combat, passing his trials at 16. It was when he was 22, that he was captured by a criminal cartel, tortured, and kept as a prisoner for 8 years. During this time, the cartel tried to gain access to Quanades's knowledge of the Jedi Order for their own personal gain, and for the entire time, Quanades gave nothing away. Their beliefs and torture did scar Quanades, however. Where he was once firmly a believer in the Light Side of the Force, and following the Jedi Code to the letter, their inception and insidious torturous methods made him question everything. With only time to think, he lost much of his sanity during the years - still he remained loyal to the Order, even if he was questioning everything in his own mind. He was eventually freed when the cartel engaged with another cartel, wiped each other out. It was some kind of miracle. He escaped with his life, but much of his sanity was locked in the cage. Upon returning to the Order, he couldn't understand why he wasn't rescued, and has held some resentment over it since. His ability to keep their secrets did not go unnoticed, and because of his unwavering loyalty, the Order has let many of his trangressions have not been punished. He eventually worked through his mental traumas through Meditation, and taking things slowly, reading, and being scholarly - a period of his life he keeps to himself. He prefers others to think of him as always having been in action. Eventually, he was given a Padawan. A young and gifted Twi'lek named Kos'nora. Her black and white view of the galaxy irritated him, and her inability to fight with her Lightsaber even more so. While working together her would tease her mercilessly, and be extremely callous - but underneath it was a fierce admiration for her (which he will never admit to!). Eventually, their relationship warmed some, and she would begin to snipe back at him occasionally which only strengthened their bond. The two have a deep respect for each other.

She sees in black and white, and as such will never be swayed to the Dark Side. A lot of her beliefs are stemmed in naivety due to her age. Something which she has paid for deeply in taunting from her peers, and has been scolded for by her Master. But still, she holds on to her beliefs and uses her strong moral compass as her strength, even when those around her tell her it is a weakness. She can often come across as shy and introverted, and will spend more time studying and meditating rather than socialising and actively seeking missions as such. She deeply respects Jedi Scholars. Due to her quiet and occasionally gullible nature, she can become overwhelmed easily, taking on too much at once - fearing letting someone down or saying no. She is dedicated to her training, and is a heavy force user, preferring not to use her lightsaber too often. [/indent] [indent][b]History:[/b] Kos'nora was born on Ryloth, she was born a slave - with slave parents, and for much of her childhood she carried out slave duties. Dreading the day she would become old enough to become a different kind of slave. At a young age, however, she discovered she was attuned with the Force - though at the time knew little of it. She just felt that she was connected to something bigger than the fate the slave masters on Ryloth had planned out for her. It was a chance meeting that led her to the Jedi Knight who would take her to study as an initiate. She was there on a mission, as most Jedi Knight's who passed through were - and it was as though the two had an instant connection with each other. Fate worked it's way to have them cross paths. The Knight picked Kos'nora from a crowd, and offered to buy her from her Masters, however, sensing that something was amiss, they refused to allow the Jedi Knight to 'buy' her. It took more negotiations, and the threat of public fisticuffs for them to relent and allow her to leave. Kos'nora will never forget the face of her saviour. On the journey to the Jedi Temple she daydreamed about her new Master, but it wasn't to be. She was put through the training as all Younglings were, stil, dreaming that the beautiful woman would one day be her Master... Finally the day came, Kos'nora was to meet her new Master to continue in her training as a Padawan - only instead of the woman, she was faced with Master Jet Quanades, whose reputation truly preceded him... She had heard much about him, about his attitude, his methods, his strange and eccentric habits... She couldn't understand why she had been paired with such a... brute! Kos'nora worked extremely hard developing her skills with the Force, her natural affinity to be peaceful led her down the path of a Jedi Consular, and she has worked solidly on building her Force abilities, so much so that her physical skills have suffered - much to the disappointment of her Master. She believes truly that Jedi are to be soldiers for good, and to wipe out all evil from the Universe. She is disgusted by the idea of a Sith, and harbours a deep fear for them. She is one of the most skilled Force users in her age group.[/indent] _________________ [indent][b] Equipment:[/b] Yellow Light Saber [b]Skills:[/b] Force Telekinisis Novice Battle Meditation Novice Lightsaber Proficiency Intelligence and Willpower[/indent] _________________ [/hider]
