I prefer to think of it as extended creative thinking. :P

Star Wars: Forged By Fire (KOTOR)

Xeviiy Sinclair
Coruscant

Xeviiy had no idea where her master was taking her in the library, she had studied a lot in there, though she was nowhere even close to having read even a fraction of the knowledge, still she felt like whatever her master was going to give, she most likely already read it. As they continued through the library, eventually going up multiple flights of stairs that seemed unending, glancing at other patrons at terminals and looking at datapads as they passed.

It seemed like this was taking forever and she was about to speak up when her master finally lead her to a study room, slowly approaching when Kasari beckoned her over.

“Okay?” She merely responded quizzically as she entered the room, not really sure who she was meeting nor why, but Kasari probably had a good reason.

Instantly she could feel the force flowing through the woman, it felt erratic, yet at the same time hidden, almost calm like, it was certainly a strange feeling to her, though not as strange as when the woman spoke, glancing at Kasari for a moment before back at the woman, finally deciding to go over to the seat and sat down on it.

“What block on my path?” She asked next, not really understanding the purpose of why she was here or what the mysterious woman was talking about, or if she was just was merely talking about sitting or standing, which if the latter seemed overly complex to her which could be phrased much more simply.

Leon Athos
Coruscant

“Ah, finally done.” A tall, dark haired man said to himself as he finished signing the last of what seemed like a thousand documents that needed his signature, that was until another stack of copies was planted onto his desk by a slim, red headed woman who smirked to him “Sorry Major Athos, afraid not.”

“Ugh, more paper work, you just love seeing me in pain, don't you, lieutenant?” He responded with a half smile, toying with the pen in his hand as he glanced over at the fresh pile of documents he felt he just finished.

“Well there is something entertaining about a war hero like you sitting behind a desk pushing papers.” She teased, though nothing that would seem disrespectful.

The man was Major Leon Athos, a decorated war hero and one of the youngest to fly through the ranks so quickly, the woman was Lieutenant Anna Sparvic, she had been assigned under him shortly after the end of the war, though she was his subordinate, often times from other people's perspective, it seemed like she was his boss, but after working together so long, they both developed a repertoire with one another and were used to it; the current peace time that they were experiencing was both a blessing and a curse, at least to Leon anyways. The blessing being that no one had to die and the Republic was still able to continue recovering from the war, the curse obviously being that there was so much paperwork coming in that it felt unending.

Leon let out a stretch before standing up, grabbing the jacket off the back of his chair, “Think I'm going to take a break, get some fresh air.” He spoke to her as he started for the exit.

“Sir, you can't slack this off, it needs to be done.” The Lieutenant responded in a slightly stern manner.

“Lieutenant Sparvic, it'll be there when I get back, plus I don't think a ten minute break is going to halt the process, yeah?” He smirked to her before heading out door, not soon far behind was Anna.

“So what? You going to babysit me now?” He added, glancing over at her as she faced forward, keeping with his pace.

“Well since you seem to like to disappear so much when you do take your 'breaks'...” She spoke, adding quotation marks to that last bit, Soon continuing her sentence “...I figured it'd be best if I made sure you didn't get lost...sir, plus the higher ups don't like you slacking off.”

“Alright Lieutenant, it's your call.” He responded, resting his hands behind his head, it was going to be a long day on Coruscant with all the paperwork he had to do, but at least the small reprieve he was giving himself would hopefully balance it out, one could hope anyways.

@Dark Wind Oi! You can't rush genius. XD

Star Wars: Forged By Fire (KOTOR)

Leon Athos

Name: Leon Arthos
Race: Human
Age: 37
Sex: Male
Theme Song:

Appearance:

picture

Leon is taller than most human, standing at about six feet (1.82 meters), sometimes looking like a giant amongst the slightly shorter men that her servers with. His hair is at medium length which he keeps tied up so as to not get in the way; he has a muscular build, something that keeping in shape a lot has rewarded him in return.

His attire consists of a tan shirt with a brown jacket and dark pants; when in combat, he dawns heavy durasteel armor, his fairly large size and strength reduces the impact to his stamina when moving in such armor. Accompanying his armor is two heavy blaster pistols as back up and a blaster carbine as his main, a utility belt that contains small amounts of rations, a grappling hook, a communicator, two grenades and a small medkit.

Background/History:

Leon grew up in the outer rim on tattooine, his family didn't have much, but they managed what they could and were happy nonetheless. A great surprise came to them when a Jedi arrived to their home, explaining how Leon had been detected as a force user and how they would like to take him into the Jedi Order to become one of them and join their ranks. His parents, ecstatic of course, agreed to to it and for the next few years, he spent time training as a Jedi, learning the ways of the force, lightsaber combat and a philosophy to protect those that were in danger.

His training went well in the beginning, but as time went on to where his peers were moving on to other, more advanced lessons, he was still at the basics, he lacked the ability to really command the force externally, though a flip side was he could internalize the force, allowing for him to enhance his body with it, such as increasing his endurance, sprinting, jumping, even his sight and hearing to an extent. However he eventually chose of his own accord to discontinue his training as a Jedi, feeling that it was a somewhat futile effort.

It pained him at first, he had really wanted to become a Jedi, to protect people, make his parents proud of him, well there was a silver lining in just that when he had been approached by a Republic recruitment officer. It offered him the same opportunity to protect people like the Jedi would, just without the force and the Jedi's signature weapon, but that didn't bother him too much, and with great enthusiasm, he accepted and began his training as a Republic soldier.

This he excelled at much better than being the Jedi and since he had some control of the force, he used it to improve himself in his training, something that his superiors took great notice at and made sure to keep track of his progress.

When his training finally ended, he was sent to multiple planets during his early career, usually to defend them against pirates or bandits or whomever was causing a disruption to the locals. It didn't take him long to quickly ascend through the rankings, first a specialist, then a corporal, as well as a sergeant and lieutenant. After a few short years thanks to his valor and strategic mind, he was promoted to captain, though his greatest achievement was during the final years of the conflict with Exar Kun and the Sith. A plan to bomb multiple bases simultaneously to allow a final push against the Sith and win the war for the Republic, however, as they were returning back with the rest of their unit, they were ambushed by some Sith, pinning them down near the still close to the target sight.

It was clear that the troops still left alive would be killed by the blast should they not make it out in time and despite being ordered to retreat back and meet up with the main army, he ignored it and convinced the men that were still with him to go back for the others, the Republic may have been willing to sacrifice a few of their own troops but he wouldn't.

By the time he arrived back where the rest of his unit was, two had been injured, he quickly set up defensive position with other half of the unit he brought back, dispatching a lot ambush troops. The fighting to get the others and fall back was taking too much time and soon the final seconds were counting down on timer located on his wrist. Swiftly he ordered a retreat of all his men when an opening had been made, seemed like they were going to make it until one soldier in his unit got hit in the leg, causing her to collapse to the ground.

She had told him to go on without her, but he just couldn't do that and used the force to sprint back to her, lifting her up into his arms and then started to run, just as the bomb detonated, the explosion quickly catching up to them, faster and faster until it was clear they wouldn't make it and using what little external command of the force he had, threw her to the other troopers that were just outside the blast radius. They caught her, however Leon got caught in the explosion, sending him flying in the air, leaving him battered and bloodied.

He awoke in the hospital, only to discover the blast of the explosion had taken his right arm off and it had been replaced with a cybernetic prosthetic, that didn't bother him too much however when he discovered that they had won the war and all his troops had made it back alive as well. Because of this act of bravery and selflessness, he was given a promotion to Major and that's currently where he's at now, though he doesn't know what the future has in store for him or his military career, he no doubt will answer the call, should another conflict arise again.

Personality:

Leon enjoys his free time either training his muscles or his weapon skills, feeling that he needs to be prepared at all times, just in case a conflict should arise again. In addition to that he enjoying going for the occasional swim when he's feeling stressed out. His biggest put off however would be military paper work which he seems to be doing more now than when he was still a foot soldier and takes any opportunity he can to avoid it. He also is strong-willed and blindly loyal to the Republic, willing to not only fight for the Republic, but die for it, as well as it's citizens.

Leon's sense of humor is a slightly dry thanks to his time in the military, but he can eventually let loose and enjoy the companies of both his equals and his subordinates.

Leon's emotional state at the moment is relaxed, yet slightly on alert, he still hasn't forgotten the conflict with Exar Kun and the Sith, not to mention the men and women he served with that had unfortunately not made it back from the war.

Leon is well known by a lot of military personnel both his superiors and inferiors, mostly for he strategic capabilities, new plans that made an impossible task possible as well as his compassion for leaving no man or woman behind during war. As a result of that, many respect him and aspire to be just like him, being an idol for others in the future.

As mentioned before, Leon his strong-willed as well as loyal, but he's also patient with tasks given to him, even if sometimes he'd rather act first than wait for orders to be given, though can sometimes be judgmental of his superior's plans if he feels that they're ineffective or inefficent.

Thanks to his time in the military, he's able to pick up on the small details going on around him, though can sometimes been too focused and miss the greater picture that the small pieces make.

Leon will always try to do what's right, both for all the planets the Republic controls as well as the Republic herself, even at rare times taking actions that would harm innocents in benefit of the Republic.

Because of how early on in his career, Leon picked up a few languages, such as Binary (Droid's language), Bothese, Huttese and Rodese.

He's slightly strict yet easy going, willing to relax back when given the time but isn't afraid to put people in their place if he feels that their distracted from the task at hand.

Though Leon says that he's fine with his military career and honestly is happy with it, he still yearns to be apart of the Jedi and the Order, sometimes thinking about practicing his skill so that it improves enough to where he feels he can return to complete his training. It showing when small objects begin to float around him, seemingly unaware of the situation until someone breaks him from his thoughts, result in the objects abruptly dropping back down.

Leon's hobbies include training exercises, reading to improve his knowledge, as well as cooking on occasion, something he's fairly good at.

Leon's current ambition is to continue his progress through his military career, trying to achieve the highest rank possible for him, though he knows this is a difficult task in of itself as his superiors though impressed with him, no doubt feels he's unsuitable for their ranks at his current age. His second ambition he's striving for though isn't as focused on is improving his ability with the force in order join the Jedi Order again and become a knight.

Skills/Abilities:

Leon has basic lightsaber training, which translates well to his basic mastery with almost any bladed weapon, being it a lightsaber or something else.

He is proficient with his force abilities that allow him to enhance his physical attribute, however if he uses them for too long of an extended period, the strain can start to take it's toll on his body and leave him in a weakened state.

Though Leon is a Major, he prefers being in the trenches with his troops, fighting along side them rather than issuing orders from behind a desk.

Leon's specialties includes computer slicing, he's an excellent pilot as well as being proficient with any blaster or rifle.
Leon is a fairly skilled person, but even he isn't without his faults, including being poor with explosives and physical locks, opting to shoot obstructions in his way rather than trying to waste time tampering with such things.

Okay, here's my second character I wish to add, hopefully everything's balanced with him.

Star Wars: Forged By Fire (KOTOR)

@Dark Wind No I don't mind, I had put my character there just because of all her ties there and the such and figured when the action started it would draw her there, but if you want to get everyone interacting with each other, than it's fine by me if you control her.

Star Wars: Forged By Fire (KOTOR)

Okay, just posted mine, whew, hopefully I did it well to give some insight without making it seem like a lot of filler. xD

Star Wars: Forged By Fire (KOTOR)

Xeviiy Sinclair
Coruscant

Xeviiy 'stared' out the window, well what could be counted as sight for her species which was through the force; the blue sky seeming peaceful as the vehicles and ships in the air what about their day, traveling to wherever they needed too on Coruscant. She spent a lot of her free time just relaxing and enjoying the scenery when she could, well aside from spending time with her friends, but she equally enjoyed time to herself.

“Hey, you there?” A woman spoke as she waved her hand in front of Xeviiy. Shaking her head she looked to the woman who was handing her some warm tea, “Oh, sorry mom, just got distracted by the scenery.” She responded as she took a sip from the cup, her mother taking a seat next to her.

Savmari smiled softly as she took a sip from her own cup, “Well that's not the demanding little girl I remember, I guess the Jedi have mellowed you out a little and instilled some manners into you, huh?” She teased. “Yeah, they locked me in my room a lot of the time till I learned how to behave properly.” Xeviiy teased back with a smile as she took another sip of her drink.

It had been five years since she had last seen her adoptive parents, though Jedi were meant to be detached from such things, she couldn't help but try to visit them whenever possible, they were the only ones she had, aside from the order, but at times that felt like a prison to her with all the rules they had, but she would never say anything like that to any of the masters.

“So is dad going to be back soon? I don't think I have much time left to be away.” She added, knowing that her master would be calling any moment to tell her to return; Xeviiy was actually sort of lucky when she got her master, she was someone who wasn't so strict and would let her do things such as visit her folks on rare occasions, but didn't make a habit of it so Xeviiy wouldn't think that she could do whatever she wanted and her master felt that was a good balance.

Savmari shook her head, “No, he said he didn't know when he'd be back and most likely it'd be late tonight.”

Xeviiy's head lowered a little, it had been an even longer time that she hadn't seen her father than she had her mother, not that she didn't enjoy spending time with her, she just wanted to spend some time with the both of them, “Oh, I see, well he does have that big corporation to run, so I guess that's to be expected.” She answered with a false smile.

“Now don't worry, I'm sure he'll make it up to you if he misses you today.” Savmari responded, placing her hand on Xeviiy's in a comforting manner.

She was about to answer back to her mother when a man came in through the door, panting a little and Xeviiy's face grew a big grin when she turned around to see who it was, quickly running to the man and wrapping her arms around him, tightly.

“Dad, I thought you wouldn't make it home to see me!” Xeviiy exclaimed as she looked up at the man.

“Now do you think I'd miss my daughter's visit? Woo it's been a long time, you sure have grown since I last saw you.” He smirked to her as he rubbed her head, adding, “I managed to get an extended lunch break, so how have you been? How's your training going?”

“It's going alright, I'm learning a lot, though sometimes it can be a bit challenging, but I'm managing.” She grinned to him, unable to help but enjoy his company.

It was about twenty minutes before her master called on her communicator, “Xeviiy, it's time for you to return.” A woman's voice spoke, “Yes master, I'm on my way.” She responded before putting it away and then looking back to her parents, “Well it looks like I got to head back, it was nice seeing you guys again.” Giving both of her parents one last hug before she headed out of the house, back to the Jedi Temple.

“It was nice seeing you again sweetie, try to visit again soon.” Her mother shouted to her as her parents waved goodbye, Xeviiy making a dash back towards the temple.

It didn't take her long to return back, tall, dirty blonde haired woman was waiting outside for her, waiving her over, “Hello Padawan, did you enjoy your visit to your parents?” The woman asked as Xeviiy made her way over to her.

“Yeah, even got to see my dad, though I thought I would've missed him because of his work, but he managed to surprise me, though I wish I could've stayed a bit longer with them.”

“I understand padawan, but I just don't want to see you get into trouble with the other masters, so better safe than sorry you return a little earlier so as to not be noticed missing.” Her master responded.

They continued to chat a little more as they walked until her master lead them to a training area, “Master Kasari, what are we doing here?” She couldn't help but inquire, though she had a pretty good suspicion.

“We're here to practice your lightsaber combat, it's...” she was in the middle of speaking before being interrupted, “Oh master, do we have too? I'm pretty decent at it already.”

“Yes, you are, but you need to be an expert at it...and I know you wish to remain peaceful and not fight, but sometimes a Jedi must fight in order to protect those that would harm others, even taking your opponent's life if you have too.”

“What? I could never do that, no matter what.” Xeviiy interjected, she knew that the order did try to protect all life, but they would kill if they had too, that's something she couldn't really agree with and always tried to avoid it. She worried a little however, that she wouldn't be able to avoid it forever.

“That's enough, now let's get started.” Kasari spoke with a stricter tone, understanding Xeviiy's opinion on the matter, but knew that it was sometimes an unavoidable option.

Xeviiy sighed, going into the training room with her master, both of them drawing their hilts using the force, her master's on her hip and Xeviiy's on her lower back. The blades ejected out of their hilts, a deep blue for Kasari's and a turqoise color on Xeviiy's.

They both took their own stances, her master going with a more aggressive one just for the training, Xeviiy herself using Soresu with a reverse grip, it was what she was best with. “Now make sure not to hold back, okay?” Kasari asked, a nod simply given back as she readied herself.

Quickly, Kasari started to sprint towards Xeviiy, the first strike coming down above her head, the crackling of the blades as they made and held contact with one another before Kasari began a flurry of light attacks, “Don't just block me, be on the offensive as well.” She spoke to her student, seeing that she wasn't trying to go for any purposeful openings that she left open.

Xeviiy followed her master's word, pushing away the attacks and started to be a bit more aggressive, shedding off the attacks and then making ones of her own, not as much as Kasari would have liked however. When Xeviiy blocked once more, Kasari used that opportunity to allow herself to be disarmed, just to see what her padawan would do.

“Well, looks like I win master.” She grinned, Kasari lowering her head with a sigh before quickly reaching out with her hand to retrieve her weapon, igniting it and then with haste, sprinted towards Xeviiy. The weapons crackled once more before her master's blade curved around her own as her feet were swept from under her, the blade easily flying from her hand and then caught by her master, Kasari pointing her weapon a few short feet away from her.

“Remember that just because an opponent is disarmed doesn't mean the battle is finished, they could easily retrieve their weapon and disarm you from yours.” Soon turning off her weapon and returning it to her waist as she helped Xeviiy up, returning her own weapon to her.

“I know master, I'll do better next time.”

Kasari smiled before rubbing her student's head, “Come on, it's time to head to your next lesson.”

The both of them beginning to heading towards the library, at least Xeviiy wouldn't have to do any more fighting for the day, at least she hoped not, but she never knew what her master had in store for her and could always end up surprising her.

Star Wars: Forged By Fire (KOTOR)

Yeah, stuff like that is the best. XD Also hopefully I can get my post out soon, small case of writers block for beginning the intro to my character, figures that I wait all day and then when we can start, my brain's like, "Oh you want to introduce your character, how about instead you question everything you write and whether it's stupid or not and write and delete the same thing 50 times! :D" XD.

Star Wars: Forged By Fire (KOTOR)

Sounds pretty funny, I had something similar with my voicemail, such as it answering where it sounded like it was me and then psyching them out at the end of it, probably when they thought they were actually talking to me, was hilarious when then leave an angry voicemail. XD

Star Wars: Forged By Fire (KOTOR)

@Dark Wind Yeah it is and thanks, I figured it wouldn't be what someone expected and that would just add to the humor.
