Jedi Academy

Name: Zizzy Roosh
Gender: Female
Species: Mikkian
Age: 15
Height: 5' 6"
Build: Willowy, more toned than most Mikkians
Skin Colour: Green
Eyes: Gold-Bronze and sparkly
Ears: None
Tendrils: Wide and almost leafy

Appearance and Personality
Zizzy's exotic appearance is attractive to many although her cool demeanor, and often direct speech, can be off-putting. She is thoughtful and naturally curious, always asking just one more question. Her tendrils have a tendency to drift slightly as if caught in a very light breeze. If one were to look closely enough they might notice curious patterns along the edges of the tendrils that really draw the eye once you've seen them.

Although she isn't the most physically inclined student Zizzy always tries her best. Her skills mostly lie in observation, lore, and the natural world, but she claims the force whispers to her sometimes from the future...

Usually Zizzy wears loose robes and prefers a hood when wandering around less salubrious parts of Coruscant. Under the robes she favours light, well-fitting clothing that does not restrict movement.

Hooks

• Are you a bookworm? Let's revise together!
• Do you like questions? How about now? But why?
• Would you help a cute youngling learn some self defense? She could use some pointers!
• Does the force speak to you too? I thought so!

Species: Half-Arkanian
Gender: Female
Height: 4’8” / 1.42m
Build: Petite
Hair: White, blue tips
Eyes: Pale Blue, slight glow
Age: 14

Eir (pronounced air) has naturally white hair that reaches past her shoulders. The tips are dyed blue, and the sides shaved in a lazy-hawk style. Her eyes are very pale blue, with a faint glow, displaying a genetic blending of human and arkanian traits. She bears the claw-like nails of the arkanian race, but is decidedly on the short side - though she’s still got some growing to do.

She wears the simple layered tunic and pants associated with the Jedi order, in the earthy colours of undyed fabric, tending towards paler fawn tones. Over this she wears voluminous robe that is still a few sizes too large for her, the excess fabric tucked up and sewn in such a way as to not be initially noticeable, but allowing her to let down the length and sleeves as she grows.

There are several rumours around girl, which she rarely bothers to dissuade, such as questions of her parentage and stories of her life before the Order. These rumours range from the innocuous to the outright absurd.

• It's said she's the illegitimate daughter of one or more senators or ambassadors from Arkania. Which one generally depends on who's doing the telling.
• A criminal before she joined the Order, it's been said that she has participated in drug trafficking, slavery, and/or prostitution. According to some, she used to use the Force to influence people into cons.
• It's a well-known "fact" that she punched another youngling, breaking their nose, when she was still new to the Order. It was hushed up by the Council, but most people seem to know a friend of a friend who was totally there and saw it, you guys.
• She's driven every Jedi who's tried to teach her anything to distraction. An older mentor was so fed up with her he took early retirement.

Name: Ares Pax
Gender: Male
Species: Human
Age: 16
Height: 186 cm
Build: Athletic, muscular
Skin Colour: Black
Eyes: Blue

Appearance and Personality
The youngling Ares Pax possesses an athletic build, his muscles visible even under the loose Jedi robes he usually wears. His training saber is always by his side, and his haircut is cut in a military way, with minimal fuss.

Ares is an intense and focused boy (almost man now?), he spends much of his free time studying and training. He is one of the best saber duelists among the younglings, and displays an obsession bordering on the unhealthy when it comes to that area of expertise. Everybody knows that he comes from a Jedi family, and almost everyone knows that his parents died when he was young. It is unknown how it happened though.

His peers still talk about the time he learned about his parents death. The comms room took weeks to repair. Afterwards, the new Master Jaric Kaedan has been giving him special lessons outside of the usual curriculum.

Hooks

• Do you come from a Jedi family? Or interested in someone who does?
• Despite passing with flying marks in dueling, Ares is struggling with the more esoteric and spiritual aspects of the Force. Perhaps you want to help him?

Name: Mir
Gender: Male
Species: Farghul
Age: 15
Height: 5' 7" (5’9” to the tip of his ears)
Build: Gaunt
Fur color: Mottled brown
Fur: Ragged and rough
Eyes: Blue
Ears: Pointy
Background: Slave

Curious and yet sullen, Mir seems to fluctuate between nosy and reclusive as if he didn’t quite know how to manage himself. Short for a member of his species, Mir would make an average height human, though his ears make him look taller than he actually is. Those who have come to know the aspiring jedi know that he hopes to study under Farissa - assuming that she is promoted to full fledged master in time.

Preferring to wear loose garments, little of Mir’s skin can be seen, though his ears point through the cowl of his robe. His ears seem to have a life of their own, twitching and moving on their own volition. An astute or an overly curious observer would notice that hair on the young farghul’s neck looks patchy with his dark skin showing through here and there.

• It’s pretty widely known that Mir is a former slave. Similarly, his hatred for slavers is widely known.
• Unsurprisingly, Mir has no home nor family. The Jedi are the only thing he has.
• Mir is woefully unaware of politics.
• Many have seen him skulking around the academy as if he was looking for something.

Gender: Female
Species: Mirialan
Age: 16
Height: 5’5”
Build: Lithe
Hair: Brunette
Eyes: Green

O'vala prefers to wear the fanciest robes that she can afford. It is her public opinion that the Jedi should look regal to inspire the rest of the Republic. Critics would say that she invests too much in the opinions of others.

She is almost always in a peppy mood, the sort to do random feats of acrobatics to show off. But when told to simmer down, she is ready to focus.

• O'vala had an older sister, O'nera, whom gave up her life to stop Project: Evolution.
• A friend of her older sister once said that "Jedi can't dance." O'vala wants to prove that wrong.
• Avilea, a Zeltron youngling, used to spend so much time with O'vala. Where did she go?
• Anyone who has been in class with her knows that she struggles with using the Force.
• Despite being skilled at the lightsaber, O'vala looks forward to getting her own starfighter more.

Name: Byron Mik
Gender: Male
Species: Human
Age: 18
Height: 1.93 meters
Build: Muscular
Skin Color: Cocoa Brown
Eyes: Dark Brown


Appearance and Personality

Byron is a friendly face around the temple always willing to help out a fellow padawan or youngling. A fixture for nearly thirteen years, this is really the only life he knows. He isn’t the most skilled or talented, but he is determined and kind. A handsome young man he has grown into his large size and strength, taking after his parents who were both soldiers in the Republic, both died in the war.

A Coruscant native he knows the city well especially the areas around the Black Suns controlled regions, he knows where to find the best noodles not that he ever has any money. Shortly before the events of the game he blew his savings on a toolkit but there was an “incident” which lead to a fire and a destroyed speeder in the temple. Now he spends his free time trying to bring the speeder back to working order.

Hooks

• Byron likes to tinker with things, he isn't an engineer but he does enjoy working with his hands.
• Need a guide around Coruscant, Byron is the young man for the job.
• Need a bg brother to confide or just talk to, Byron is always there for his fellow students.
• Byron has few skills but one is eating, and finding great places to eat.
• He loves to cook, sometimes the food is edible...

Name: Silas Myles Pearson
Gender: Male
Species: Human
Age: 16
Height: 1.82 meters
Build: Lanky
Skin Color: Lightly tanned
Hair: Auburn
Eyes: Light Brown

Appearance and Personality

Silas is a Lanky young man, a recent growth spurt seeming to be the culprit, and the rest of him still yet to catch up. He's sure to fill out soon though, but for the mean time seems more knees and elbows, then anything. He is a fairly handsome young man, his eyes bright and inquisitive, and his lips used to smiles. He'd likely be a bit better looking too; if the young man took better care of his appearance, a comb through the hair, and unruffled clothes can do wonders.

A born tinker, and a bit of a geek, Sila's passion seems to be in the making and modification of things. His specialty being various arm's and armor from the various holo's he watches. Well, when he can manage to find watch, such can be tough for a young jedi. Still it's not unusual for him to present new outfits for his friends, and room mates. Though some of the designs can be a bit risque.

Hooks!

• Silas is a native to Coruscant, and has been at the temple for the last eight years. Maybe he can help show you around.
• Do you need some armor made? Do you want to be a guinea pig for Silas's latest design? Maybe you have a design for armor you want him to make? Either way he can probably help!
• Are you a fan of Holo shows or comic books? Silas is!
• Need a study partner? Silas knows a thing or two. Even if it's only about math.

Name: Zanja
Species: Zabrak
Gender: Female
Background: Criminal Background
Career: Sentinel
Age: 15 (AND THREE QUARTERS!)
Hair: Black
Eyes: Gold
Skin: Light gray
Height: 1.66m
Build: Is “recent awkward growth spurt” a “build”?

Zanja is a Zabrak youngling dangling awkwardly from the precipice of adulthood. Always a little small for her age until now, she’s put on several centimeters very quickly, and her horns have come in so recently that her head is still tender and itchy in spots. She’s quick and agile in motion, in spite of the fact that her posture hasn’t quite adjusted for her growth spurt. Zanja’s hair is dark, straight, and coarse, her eyes orange-gold (a fairly common color for her species), and her skin light gray with a tan undertone. Her voice is a little bit gravelly, becoming more so when she’s impatient or unhappy.

The facial markings most members of other species associate with Zabraks are tattoos received as part of the transition into adulthood, so to those in the know, the combination of small horns and unmarked skin are as clear a marker of Zanja’s current life stage as her teenaged slouch or the training lightsaber clipped to her belt.

Hooks:

• Zanja has been in the temple on Coruscant for about five or six years, so if you trained here too you’re probably at least acquainted with her.
• Do you enjoy climbing around and exploring? Zanja’s favorite forms of physical activity are free climbing and other such parkour-like adventures, sometimes in less appropriate parts of the megacity.
• Zanja likes watching mystery holo-serials and reading detective stories, though she has a tendency to nitpick the less plausible details. If you can put up with that, maybe we’ve binged together?
• Do you like playing shooter video games or holo-tag? Zanja does too.
• If you came from a hardscrabble background before being brought into the Order, you and Zanja might have shared some silent solidarity about it. If you’re from an elite Force bloodline or a privileged family, she might be a little touchy about that.

Name: Esla Tor
Gender: Female
Species: Human
Age: 15
Height: 5'3"
Build: Thin
Hair: Blonde
Eyes: Dull Green

Appearance and Fashion

Esla is a small human girl with shortened blonde hair that usually fashioned in a formal manner so that it doesn't quite reach her shoulders. Her eyes are a dull green and her gaze sometimes instinctively veers away from looking directly at another's. She seems on the quiet side on the first impression, appearing to be internally contemplative and considerate to her current surroundings before acting at all.

Formal and archaic would quickly describe Esla's general appearance. She appears to dress like the nobility of a remote world, favouring black predominately in her fashion but it is always complimented with another colour to match. When not training, she's typically seen in a blouse that features ruffles and/or lace patterns, accompanied with a long skirt or slacks. She sports a black cloak or dress coat when outdoors with a dagger at her side and fully gloved hands.

Hooks:

• Esla is a closed book.

Name: Taime Jorel
Gender: Emo dude
Species: Nagai
Age: 15
Height: 5'8
Build: Thin and wiry
Hair: Black
Eyes: Grey

Taime is likely the first Nagai any others have seen. His species live far out in the unknown galaxy and little is known of them besides what Chriala, his adopted parent has learned and what little he knows. As a result, Taime is highly focused on becoming a Jedi and his training. He's left his entire world behind for this purpose, so it needs to be worth it. He's a serious young man, with a rare playful side that only comes out in unguarded moments. He doesn't have many hobbies and he tends to be pretty work focused in each moment. He could probably use someone dragging him out for fun occasionally.


Hooks:

+Have you traveled a lot? Do you have cool stories? Do you wanna hear weird stories of Taime's travels? Hit him up!
+Are you passionate about becoming a Jedi? Do you have any tips, tricks, bits of wisdom? Taime is all ears.
+Do you have stories about battle? Tactics? Taime wants to learn.
+Suggestions for how Taime could improve something he's doing? He's all ears.
