Name: Gar Vookto
Gender: Male
Species: Duros
Age: 24
Homeworld: Duros
Appearance:
Personality: A man much more interested in technology and engineering than the mysticism of the Jedi order, he can be found in his off hours buried in a technical manual or a book on engineering or slicing droids. While many jedi focus on their fighting, he focuses on using the enemy's force against them. If the CIS wish to field droids, then the most efficient use of time in his eyes is to focus on overriding those droids from their masters. The reliance on technology is something that he wants to use to his favor in every way.
Flaws: While perfectly able to interact with people, he is by no means a master diplomat or trusted confidant. His skills in battle also suffered as he instead focused on technology and those elements of the force that would allow him to better hide himself. While proficient he will not hold out in combat for a particularly long time, though if he is playing his cards right the deck should be stacked in his favor before the enemy ever knows he is there.
Skills: Proficient user of Form VI, trained in engineering and slicing, and exceptional pilot.
Equipment: Technical manual, Datapad, Slicing tools, and a small tool kit for repairs. The slicing and repair tools remained tightly strapped to his belt or in well sealed pockets on his shirt to keep them from jangling or falling out.
Force Abilities: Outside of the basics all Jedi know, he also knows force jump, force stealth, force cloak, and the Jedi mind trick. He focused on these abilities to the exclusion of most if not all others. Honing these abilities to keep himself stealthy and hidden from those who would seek to harm him.
Personal History: He was found to be force sensitive as a child and handed over to the order before the fall as most Jedi during the time were. Gar was taught in the way all the children were, training in the force and lightsaber with classes on the side. He was an unremarkable student in most aspects, outside of stellar geography where he excelled. Even as a child his off hours were spent in the library, reading books on engineering, programming, and navigation. While his school marks never really tested or reflected this, he became well known amongst his peers and superiors as a boy who could repair his own datapad and hack a mouse droid in short order. While his teachers often urged him to focus more on the Jedi order and his lightsaber skills he would improve only until they deemed it enough and then go back to studying what he desired.
His master was a Jedi Sentinel, his lightsaber a standard model with a traditional yellow blade. The council, having noted his affinity to skills over fighting or talking knew this would be the best fit for him. His missions coming from the Council of First Knowledge as opposed to others. There he learned his ability to hide and honed his skills in working with technology. He was also required to learn a variety of other skills, but they as well recognized where his talents lay. Truly he was at peace in the library studying the archive there, or out in the various garages and repair shops of Coruscant. Rather than try and teach him combat tactics, Gar's master instead trained him in hiding himself from all enemies and turning them against each other. Of course once discovered he would be forced to fight, but the skills came in handy on more than one occasion against various groups of thugs or droids. The war picking up interrupted his studies somewhat, instead having to steal away moments between various missions.
During this time it was also found he carried his specie's affinity for space travel. A superb pilot from the beginning his skills only grew with age and experience. While most Jedi could claim to be on par with a clone in a dogfight, he knew he could surpass them easily by age 20. It was the second thing that could allow his mind to truly quiet outside of meditation. The library or the seat of a vehicle basically became secondary methods of meditation for him at this point, a way to calm himself completely and utterly even in the worst situations.
