However, she has a penchant for dying her hair different colors and currently has it a deep purple shade. Her eyes are an almost iridescent blue, seeming to shine in the right lighting. Often times she can be found in the sparring circles, honing her already impressive lightsaber skills, as her family has a history of dual wielding and double-bladed use, while wearing her armored robes. When socializing, she prefers a simple tunic and trousers along with a pair of soft leather boots, often with gold thread inlaid throughout the clothing. At formal gatherings, she prefers a deep red dress inlaid with silver designs and gold high heels.[/indent] [color=0438B9][b]|[u] {Equipment and Personal Belongings} [/u]|[/b][/color] [indent][i]Double-Bladed Lightsaber[/i]: An ornate lightsaber made from cortosis weave with gold inlay with twin silver blades. [i]T65B X-Wing Starfighter, modified[/i]: While standard T65B’s only came with Proton Torpedoes as a secondary weapon, this one has been modified with a single concussion missile tube for improved fighter to fighter capability. [i]Armored Jedi Robes[/i]: While most Jedi prefer the traditional brown robes of the Order and the Enclaves, Riven prefers an armored variant for the increased protection it gives without hindering her movement.[/indent] [color=0438B9][b]|[u] {Physical Abilities} [/u]|[/b][/color] [indent][i]Djem So/Shien:[/i] With a focus on defensive dueling and blaster bolt deflection, Riven has become one of the more advanced practitioners of Form V in both its tenants. [i]Ataru:[/i] The acrobatic form pairs well with her weapon of choice and she uses that to her advantage. She’s mastered the Form’s skills and uses to such a degree many in the Enclaves have sought her out for instruction in the use of it. [i]Niman:[/i] Riven’s skill in Form VI is about on par with that of Form V, though her use of it is more of a variant designed for use with double-bladed lightsabers.[/indent] [color=0438B9][b]|[u] {Force Abilities} [/u]|[/b][/color] [indent]Standard Force Training: Riven, like all Je’ands and Jedi, is trained in a number of Force abilities ranging from the Force Push and Pull to Precognition and Reflexes. Has moderate skill in using the Force to influence the minds of those too weak willed to resist. Tutaminis: Riven has received advanced training in Tutaminis, a school of Force abilities that handle energy absorption and dispersion. Force Flame: Once considered a Lost Force ability, the Je’and family has used it for generations and can manifest it in a number of forms, ranging from a stream of flame to fireballs.[/indent] [color=0438B9][b]|[u] {Limitations} [/u]|[/b][/color] [indent]Generational Training: While she’s received a ton of what she calls supplemental training with the Enclaves since her family’s return to the fold, she still trusts in the training her mother and father gave her more. As a result, she’s more prone to what proper Jedi call “lapses in judgement.” In other words, she’s known to follow her heart instead of her head on occasion. Questionable Lineage: Due to her ancestor Zar’kun’s status as a former Lord of the Sith, and the family’s history as Jedi and Mandalorian, there are those in the Enclaves’s membership and leadership who question their loyalty and trustworthiness. It often results in subpar mission intel and preparations.[/indent] [hr.] [color=0438B9][b]|[u] {Personality} [/u]|[/b][/color] [indent]To sum up Riven in a single word, she is passionate. She believes fiercely in the teachings of Jedi, but also that the Dark Side is a necessary evil, to maintain a balance. She’s quick to support her friends and family and just as quick to denounce her foes. While battle is not her first course of action, she is not a stranger to it by any means.[/indent] [color=0438B9][b]|[u] {Place of Origin} [/u]|[/b][/color] [indent]Dantooine-Grew up in the family Compound on an island off the mainland. Started her and finished her training there but spent a year training with the Enclaves at the request of the Enclaves leadership.[/indent] [color=0438B9][b]|[u] {Background} [/u]|[/b][/color] [indent]Riven’s story up to the events is similar to that of many Jedi from long lines of the Peace Keepers. Due to the family already being a part of the Jedi, her training began while she was young and was done at home. With the War happening, her parents simply didn’t want to risk her’s and her sister’s safety. They learned the basis of dueling, Force Powers, and even the influence of one’s emotions away from a proper academy setting, which would set the tone for the rest of their lives once they joined the Order properly. When the pair were nine, with Riven showing strong affinity for the rare but dangerous double-bladed lightsaber and had just begun learning Ataru when word reached of the attack on Coruscant. Her father had been involved in the fighting on Umbra when the Separatists struck and their mother at home, watching the two girls spar with a quarterstaff and wooden sword during their instruction for the day when the holonet lit up with video of the battle raging over the capital planet of the Republic. Then began the bombardment of the city planet’s surface, and the events that would later become known as Knightfall. The Order lost an entire generation of Jedi to the attack, and the remainder of the knowledge within the Coruscant Temple’s archives. With Coruscant’s fall, the Order and the Republic fled into exile while the Je’ands went into hiding in the family compound on Dantooine. And for a time, there was no word from the surviving members of the Council about what to do, leaving both Tarion and Revana worried. However, two years prior, they received word the Republic and Mandalore were now one and the same and so the Je’ands returned to the Jedi Enclaves. After a year of training under the Jedi Masters of the Enclaves to ensure they were true Jedi, Riven and Talia were allowed to become Jedi Knights. Riven embraced this path and, while she remains very firmly in the area of ‘grey Jedi’, she does her duties with purpose and is always willing to train new and upcoming apprentices and offer advice and guidance to Padawans who ask for it.

However, she prefers to keep it its natural shade of brown. Her eyes, in comparison to Riven’s iridescent blue, are an iridescent green. She’s also more prone to be a touch less concerned with what most others consider modest clothing and has no qualms showing off both leg and midriff if it means she can move more freely, though her robes are all armored. However, for more formal attire, she prefers a shorter cut cyan colored dress with matching heels, which is inlaid with silver patterns up the sides. Casual encounters usually see her in either her robes or sweats, as she finds traditional Jedi robes too hindering.[/indent] [color=E509C7][b]|[u] {Equipment and Personal Belongings} [/u]|[/b][/color] [indent][i]Standard Lightsaber and Shoto Saber[/i]:Ornate lightsabers made of beskar with a gold inlay with bronze blades. [i]T65B X-Wing Starfighter, modified[/i]: The cannons are overcharged for better impact and rate of fire at the exchange of the usual mobility of an X-Wing fighter being reduced. [i]Custom Robes[/i]: Robes specially designed with Talia’s movement preferences in mind, her midriff is exposed so as to reduce the amount of loose cloth around it and prevent potential movement restrictions. They’re also armored up to provide better protection.[/indent] [color=E509C7][b]|[u] {Physical Abilities} [/u]|[/b][/color] [indent][i]Niman[/i]: While her twin’s skill in Form VI is considered moderate at best, Talia is a master of it, the form allowing her attacks and defensive moves with her twin blades to blend seemlessly. [i]Shien/Djem So[/i]: Not as advanced in Form V as she is in Form VI, Talia is still a highly capable duelist and more than capable of handling heavy barrages of blaster fire when needed.[/indent] [color=E509C7][b]|[u] {Force Abilities} [/u]|[/b][/color] [indent]Standard Force Training: Talia, like all Je’ands and Jedi, is trained in a number of Force abilities ranging from the Force Push and Pull to Precognition and Reflexes. Her skill in mentally influencing others with the Force is much stronger than her sister’s. Battle Meditation: This is a recent discovery for the young Je’and and Talia is the first in the family to manifest such an ability. She has very little mastery of it, and spends extensive time with Jedi Knights and Masters with experience and knowledge with it. Force Flame: Once considered a Lost Force ability, the Je’and family has used it for generations and can manifest it in a number of forms, ranging from a stream of flame to fireballs.[/indent] [color=E509C7][b]|[u] {Limitations} [/u]|[/b][/color] [indent]Generational Training: While she’s received a ton of what she calls supplemental training with the Enclaves since her family’s return to the fold, she still trusts in the training her mother and father gave her more.

Questionable Lineage: Due to her ancestor Zar’kun’s status as a former Lord of the Sith, and the family’s history as Jedi and Mandalorian, there are those in the Enclaves’s membership and leadership who question their loyalty and trustworthiness. It often results in subpar mission intel and preparations. Mandalorian Interest: Though raised to be Jedi like her father and mother, Talia can’t help but be incredibly curious about the family’s heritage as members of the Mandalorian Clan Ordo. This has been known to keep her from important training and briefings, as well as distracting her from various tasks of varying importance.[/indent] [hr.] [color=E509C7][b]|[u] {Personality} [/u]|[/b][/color] [indent]If Riven is passionate, then Talia is giddy and full of energy and life. She’s prone to get intensely focused on subjects that catch her interest, most recently being her family’s history with Clan Ordo. All that said, she’s also loyal and holds her family in a special place in her heart and will do everything she can to protect them.[/indent] [color=E509C7][b]|[u] {Place of Origin} [/u]|[/b][/color] [indent]Dantooine-Grew up in the family Compound on an island off the mainland. Started her and finished her training there but spent a year training with the Enclaves at the request of the Enclaves leadership.[/indent] [color=E509C7][b]|[u] {Background} [/u]|[/b][/color] [indent]Talia’s story leading up to the events of Knightfall is similar to that of many Jedi from long lines of the Peace Keepers, though hers is tinged with much more curiousity. Due to the family already being a part of the Jedi, her training began while she was young and was done at home for its entirety. With the Clone Wars happening, her parents simply didn’t want to risk her’s and her sister’s safety by sending them to the Temple on Coruscant. They learned the basis of dueling, Force Powers, and even the influence of one’s emotions away from a proper academy setting, which would set the tone for the rest of their lives once they joined the Order properly. When the pair were nine, Talia showed great skill in handling twin weapons, a standard training blade in one hand and a shorter one in the other, when word reached of the attack on Coruscant. Her father had been involved in the fighting on Umbra when the Separatists struck and their mother at home, watching the two girls spar with a quarterstaff and wooden sword during their instruction for the day when the holonet lit up with video of the battle raging over the capital planet of the Republic. Then began the bombardment of the city planet’s surface, and the events that would later become known as Knightfall.

However, two years prior, they received word the Republic and Mandalore were now one and the same and so the Je’ands returned to the Jedi Enclaves. After a year of training under the Jedi Masters of the Enclaves to ensure they were true Jedi, Talia and Riven were allowed to become Jedi Knights. Talia, much like her twin, falls under the category of a ‘Grey Jedi’, but her interest in staying true to the path of the Jedi is tenuous at best. A Historian of sorts from Clan Ordo had approached the family shortly after their arrival upon Mandalore to discuss their history with the Clan and since then, all Talia can do is focus on learning about that piece of family history and possibly reforging that bond.[/indent][/hider]
