SWTOR Character Tales: Jedi Order Character Sheets

Welcome back, my beautiful freaks, to the Assassin's Den!  It's time to redo the character sheets for the members of the Jedi Order who are not the protagonists!

Name: Vedere Marr
Gender: Female
Species: Miraluka
Age: 31 standard years
Homeworld: Alpheridies
Class: Jedi Shadow
Fighting Style: Form VI Lightsaber Combat
Romance: Currently none, formerly Lemda Avesta
Personality Profile: "With the majority of the Jedi Council gone and Master Satele missing, you are the de-facto Grandmaster, though you haven't officially taken the title due to your youth.  However, this doesn't change the fact that you're keeping the Jedi Order organized and protecting the people of the Republic, and directing them via the holonet.

However, this responsibility hasn't stopped you from your research into Ragdat's destiny.  You've seen the reports of what he did while you were chasing down the Children of the Emperor, and you've noticed his path intersect with Vitiate and Revan's at many points.  Their destinies seem to be intertwined, so you've retreated back to your homeworld and using the meditation chambers to see more clearly into the future.  And now that he's back, you've noticed that his destiny and Vitiate's combine.  Combine that with his efforts to stop the Eternal Empire, the Force seems to congregate around him, and you need to find out why."




 Name: Vhizdam
Gender: Male
Species: Miraluka
Age: 39 standard years
Homeworld: Alpheridies
Class: Jedi Sentinel
Fighting Style: Knows all 7 forms, but prefers Form VI Lightsaber Combat
Personality Profile: "Hard to believe that Vedere is leading the Jedi Order, but she's been through a LOT in the last fifteen years.  You remember her studying with your sister for the tests in their respective realms, and now, she's steeped in the mysticism of the Force.  However, no matter how powerful or knowledgeable he is, she's never been the greatest fighter.  She's always preferred deceiving her foes and striking from the shadows over a straight up fight.

And that is why you stand at her side, protecting her.  As one of the Battlemasters of the order who trains people in lightsaber combat styles, you know the best ways to keep this young Jedi Master alive.  If she falls, the Order will descend into chaos."








Name: Chas'Raan
Gender: Female
Species: Twi'lek
Age: 29 standard years
Homeworld: Coruscant
Class: Jedi Shadow
Fighting Style: Forms III and IV Lightsaber combat
Personality Profile: "Even though they fed you, clothed you and trained you, you've never really felt that you fit in with the Jedi.  Oh sure, you believe in the principles of the Order; of helping the helpless, protecting the weak and all that, but you've never really felt like you fit their mold.

Luckily, Vedere's leadership has made you feel more at home.  With so few Jedi left, Vedere has done away  with a LOT of the things that bothered you about the Order before, like the rules about attachment or emotion.  Today, you work as a scout for the Order, and by proxy by Ragdat's Alliance, to do something about the oppression of the Eternal Empire."
Special note: Similar to Corran Horn after her, Chas'Raan struggles with telekinesis.  Floating a stone is difficult for her, and doing things like throwing her lightsaber is nearly impossible. However, she excels in mind tricks, Force Cloak, and energy absorption. In fact, it takes an infusion of energy, through things like electricity, fire and other types, for her to use telekinesis with any power.



I kind of cheated with her new outfit; I created a boosted 65 Trooper, then just used the preview screen to put her lightsaber in her hand. I had planned on capturing the headshot in that armor too, since I REALLY like that scarf, but I made a mistake and chose the wrong eye color. And rather than go back and rebuild her a second time, I just decided to use the old picture for the headshot.


Gender: Male
Species: Pureblood Sith
Age: 50 standard years
Homeworld: Dromund Fels
Class: Jedi Sage
Fighting Style: Mastered Form I Lightsaber combat
Romance: Nadia Grell
Personality Profile: "You're tired.  Of the constant warfare, of the mistrust even after a decade, of people not listening.  The White Knights, the Republic, the Jedi Order...no one seems to trust you.  Your record should speak for itself that you know what you're talking about, but no matter how much you prove yourself, people seem to doubt you.

First it was the White Knights serving Vitiate.  Then, it was was the threat that the Hand of Jadus represented that was ignored.  And now, it's the importance of the Republic and the Empire working together that people are ignoring.  If it wasn't for the people who have seen what you've seen personally trusting you, those who have fought at your side and have been taught by you accepting your words without hesitation, you'd go off and become the wise hermit on a remote world that you'd thought about becoming after you left the White Knights.

But not all hope is lost. A few who believe you have powerful connections, and they've been working to stop what you've been warning about for over a decade.  And you'll fight and protect and teach until this war with Arcann, Vaylin and Vititiate is over. But once that's over, you're done.  You're leaving the Republic, the Empire, the Jedi and the Sith behind and becoming the hermit that you feel you're meant to become.  And once you do, you're not coming back."




Yeah, I added some more years to him, since Cavik96 once mentioned he seemed "too young" based on his initial profile and setup.  I agree, and thus, he's about a decade older.

 Name: Suthazi
Gender: Female
Species: Cathar
Age: 15 standard years
Homeworld: Cathar
Class: Jedi Padawan/Jedi Guardian Tank Focus
Fighting Style: Unmastered Form I and III Lightsaber combat
Personality Profile: "When people think about Jedi and war, the last thing people think is about the Padawan who loses their Master.  A few return to the Order's headquarters, but most fall, either to the Dark Side, the Sith or bounty hunters.

This is unacceptable to you.  As one of the few Padawans your age with any real combat training, you've been traveling the galaxy in Mamine's old Defender starship, forming what you're calling 'The Padawans' Collective', gathering other displaced Padawans and completing as much of your training as you can.

But no matter what you do, it's not enough.  You're one of the oldest of the displaced Padawans, and your training is far from complete.  You may be somewhat combat trained, but you'd die if you try fighting a Sith.  Also, you lack resources; only two members of the Collective have built their lightsabers, and while the mechanical components are easy to get, safe places to get crystals are not.  You'd try to make synth crystals, but you lack knowledge there as well.

But there's hope. Theron Shan found out what you're doing, and has been leading you toward resources and knowledge, and now, back to Mamine.  You were overjoyed to hear that she's alive, and you're eager to show her just how much you've grown."

Yeah, I added a year to Suthazi. But I figured "Maybe she celebrated a birthday just after Mamine disappeared?" and went with it.









 Name: Daashla Myr
Gender: Female
Species: Togruta
Age: 60 standard years
Homeworld: Shili
Class: Jedi Sage
Fighting Style: Forms II, III and IV Lightsaber combat
Personality Profile: "You've spent your life teaching the unteachable; training students that would have trouble following the Light to doing so.  And over the decades, you've had a great many successes, partially because of your own issues.  Many Togruta Jedi have trouble with their early training, due to feelings of isolation and depression due to your communal nature, and you weren't an exception.  But through patience and efforts taken to bond with your students, you've helped many Jedi get over their issues, or at least able to cope with them, and become great Jedi Masters.

But you also have failures. And Suthazi was the most recent.  Your failure to truly connect with this girl, your lack of experience with her problems, caused her to die when the Eternal Empire attacked Alderaan. She didn't follow your orders, and attacked when she should have retreated, and perished in battle.

But masters like you are still needed. You've spent the last three years seeking out Padawans displaced by the war, comforting them, helping them get through their fears, and training them when you have the time. But you're only one Master, dealing with nearly a dozen students.  You can't connect with them all. But thankfully, you no longer have to, thanks to Master Vedere contacting you about Master Ragdat's Alliance.  Maybe now, you can succeed where you failed with Suthazi."



Yep, Daashla Myr is the second reason I decided to make the universes "dark mirrors" of each other.

And with the last group out, I'm ready to redo the protagonists character sheets.   And they're getting the smallest changes to them; pretty much an age, fighting style and romance choice update.  But for now, check out my referral link if you play, and stay beautiful freaks!
