Hers took place on the main temple of Coruscant, the only Jedi temple she'd known. She recited the Jedi code flawlessly, then blindfolded used her lightsaber and the Force to spar with combat drones. For her third test she was tasked with detecting lies from a civilian in a mock trial type situation.

[color=silver][b]Skills:[/b][/color] Ryndi is knowledgeable in three lightsaber forms, though she mainly only practices and trains herself in two of them. The first form she was taught was form I (Shii-cho) which helped her learn the basics of lightsaber combat. The two forms she focuses on are Form IV (Ataru) and Form V (Shien), her experience on the battlefield alongside her master (before his death) helped her with learning both these forms. She's at an apprentice level for both but could be molded into a formidable lightsaber duelist. Outside of lightsaber combat she's been taught a few basics of martial arts typical to Jedi. She can hold her own in a brawl against some opponents, using the Force to aid her. She's also been taught the art in diplomacy by her master, displaying some charisma with her words. Her master also showed her the basics of battlefield strategy, she knows how to set up basic traps and ambushes. [color=silver][b]Force Abilities:[/b][/color] Ryndi is skilled with the basic Force powers such as push/pull, using both heavily in training and in combat. She has shown talent with the ability to throw a lightsaber in battle. She also knows how to use the Force to stun her opponents and create protective barriers, but she is not particularly skilled with either of these abilities. [color=silver][b]Weaknesses:[/b][/color] [list] [*] [i]Grieving[/i] - Ryndi's master died on the battlefield a few weeks ago. She was helpless to watch him die and blames herself endlessly for it. Its caused her to become more withdrawn while filling herself with constant self doubt. Her sadness and anger is still very evident over the incident. Immediately following her master's death she succumbed to her emotions and her rage, giving her a brush with the dark side. She's still filled with fear from it, fear that she won't be able to succeed. If things get bad she could potentially fall into the darkness. [*] [i]Impatience[/i] - She's often headstrong in her actions and lacks the patience of more experienced Jedi. Ryndi will frequently charge into situations head on with an alarming boldness. [*] [i]Inexperienced[/i] - While she is a better combatant than most other padawans she is still technically an apprentice. Someone more experienced and stronger with a lightsaber should be able to beat her soundly. She does showcase potential but at the moment she does not have the experience or practice to be at a higher level. [/list] [color=silver][b]Character History:[/b][/color] Ryndi was born on the quiet farming world of Dantooine to a hardworking family. Her parents provided her and her two older brothers the best they could. When she was five years old a traveling Jedi knight came to the world on a diplomatic mission and discovered the young Ryndi. She would be taken offworld to Coruscant the next day, saying a final goodbye to her loving family. The change from the constant calmness of Dantooine to the endless bustling of Coruscant was something which took some getting used to. As was life without her family, though that was something many Jedi had to learn to deal with. She showed potency with the Force and would pass her initiate trials with relative ease. She was taken as a padawan by the Jedi Knight Kej Gesi, a experienced Jedi guardian. Master Gesi was very talented with a lightsaber and the martial forms of the Jedi way. He would assist the young Ryndi in learning the ways of the Force greatly. Their first missions together often involved tracking down criminals, one of the most notable involved protecting a small village on a Republic world from a slaver raid. While these were violent, difficult assignments the young padawan accomplished them with her master. The threat of the separatists would soon arrive and the Clone Wars would begin to tear apart the galaxy. Ryndi was deployed on several missions alongside Master Gesi, some involving commanding clone troopers in direct combat against the droid armies. This type of war was something which shocked her deeply in her first battles. It was one thing taking on disorganized raiders and hunting down rogue criminals, it was another entirely taking part in a war against a fiercely organized army of droids. She would suffer some minor injuries during the war, but nothing which would be life threatening. A broken left hand would knock her out of commission for a few weeks, forcing her master to continue the war effort without her. She'd return once she was back to full health and take part in a raid on a droid processing factory, one of her most notable missions during the Clone Wars. Alongside her master and a detachment of clones she'd drop into a separatist controlled world and break into the factory. The ensuing battle was chaotic but would end in success as the two Jedi managed to sabotage operations inside of it. War was not without its consequences and causalities, as her most recent operation ended in tragedy. While attempting to free a captive senator the two Jedi would end up in an ambush. Surrounded and flanked by battle droids the duo would be forced to fight their way out of a separatist facility. In the heat of combat Master Gesi was struck down with a blaster bolt, dying instantaneously. Disregarding the teachings she had been taught the young Jedi would tap into her emotions and lash out at the droids besieging her. With a howl Ryndi would carve and slice through the machines like they were paper. A squad of clones arriving to the scene would find Ryndi collapsed on the ground next to her dead master, having carved apart the battle droid which had killed the elder Jedi into an utter scrap heap. She was brought back to Coruscant the next day, in immediate need of counseling and aid. Rydni's emotional state has been one of fragility ever since that fateful day. While thankfully lacking in physical injuries, her mental and emotional state is ridden with grief. The encroaching downfall of the Jedi being the last thing the scarred Jedi needs. [/hider]
