ORIGINS
[fancybox2]

"In another life, in another galaxy far, far away, but, yes, I used to be a Jedi."

Kovi Steel was the result of a short, scandalous affair between two talented Jedi Initiates, Lite Steel and Lyra Toi. Both were extremely gifted wielders of the Force, which gave them the confidence and belief that they could get away with anything due to their bright futures, this is what allowed Kovi to be made. However, the couple was heavily punished after Lyra began to show signs of pregnancy, they were separated and denied contact from each other, she would not learn that Lite had died during an extraction mission gone wrong until after Kovi's birth. Stricken with grief and slowly going mad with remorse, Lyra killed herself and entrusted her newborn son to her master and closest friend, Boone Farr, a Kel-Dor Jedi Master, in her final letter, as well as a promise to make sure that Kovi would never become a part of the Jedi Order.

Boone , a firm believer in the Jedi Order, disregarded his deceased Padawan's final words with the conviction that it would be best for the boy if he grew up as a Jedi. So, over the course of his childhood, Kovi studied the ways of the Force under Boone's careful eye at an unusually slow pace. The concerned Jedi Master wondered how the child of two geniuses in the Force could have such a weak connection to it, as soon as Kovi rose to the rank of Padawan, he took him as a student and dedicated grueling exercises to break him out of his funk. However, despite every hour spent and every step taken, Kovi made almost zero progress, which disheartened Boone and resulted in Kovi turning to self-deprecation and eventually, depression. As Boone began to take interest in other students, Kovi decided that he could not keep putting his heart into a toxic Order that poisoned his self-confidence. On one particularly silent and cold night, Kovi fled from the Jedi Temple and stowed away on a small shipping cruiser headed for Naboo.

Seventeen years old, all on his own, without a dime to his name, the young rogue resorted to pick pocketing and swindling, after a few months of living like a street rat, Kovi vowed to himself that he would only look out for himself and never put his faith into anyone or anything ever again. This ideology worked for about two years as he began to build a decently sized fortune from stealing and robbing, he eventually managed to purchase his own ship, a milestone that he would deem, "His Crowning Achievement." However, after saving a group of Twi'lek teenagers from a greedy gang of rapists and creeps, Kovi realized that he still wanted to help people, even if it meant that he couldn't do it as a Jedi. He built up a reputation and eventually adopted the profession of smuggler, for the past few years, he has been working underground, supporting and aiding whoever he can, as well as investing in some of the finer things (booze). Just recently, he has repaired and employed an old Trade Federation Loader Droid that he had dubbed, "Dorian."

ABILITIES
[fancybox4="https://i.imgur.com/Dq3Yyyk.jpg?1"] "Booze is a smuggler's greatest tool!"

Telekinesis
Kovi has a basic grasp on Telekinesis, though he cannot use it very well as he has an unusually small connection to the Force, which restricts his ability to master almost any form of the Force. He can lift relatively small things like rocks and small animals, occasionally, he will be able to muster enough strength to pick up crates or light-weighted people.

Sense
Just like most other Force users, Kovi is able to sense imminent danger and pick up incoming attacks such as volatile projections or fire from blasters. This is probably what Kovi can do best as it comes natural to almost every Force-user.

Mental Manipulation
Strangely, this seems to be the only other thing that Kovi has shown capability of doing, he has been able to control almost every kind of non-sentient creature, as well as most thick-headed scum within the depths of the Underworld.

Shooting/ Aim/ Blaster Proficiency
Surviving in the Underworld required that Kovi become a good shot, especially when it came to shoot-outs over deals gone wrong, which is usually the case for the renegade Jedi. Hands-on experience and self-tutoring has resulted in Kovi becoming a real hotshot, it would be wise not to get on his bad side, that is, unless you want to see who really shot first.

PERSONALITY
[fancybox4="https://i.imgur.com/aQQvQXj.gif?1"] "I've got a migraine the size of Mustafar."

Kovi has always felt like he is less than everyone else, ever since he was young, years of falling behind and not being able to perform on par aside his fellow younglings molded him into an anxious, self-deprecating being of depression. Though he still tends to remain introverted, Kovi has recently started to become a lot sillier, he has become more whimsical and wily, almost like a depressing little Han Solo.

Around clients or enemies, Kovi will put on his game face, he will never show weakness in front of the people he's trying to impress, either choosing to be stone-faced and rigid or sardonic and humorous. He has also acquired a few friends during his time as a smuggler and a supporter of the innocent, many a Weequay owe him a favor for their lives.
Interests:
-Booze
-Helping those in need
-Blue Milk
-That one Cantina band
-Naboo and it's flora
-Water
-Space vegetarians


Dislikes:
-Social interactions
-The Jedi Order
-Evil doers
-Space vegans
-Running for his life
-Deals gone wrong
-Most people

Hey there,

First off, welcome back to the site! Before giving a few of my thoughts I wanted to mention that our current story and timeline are ending within the next four weeks. This doesn't mean you can't make a character now and RP but I just wanted you to be aware of that. The new timeline will be thousands of years in the past and will a totally different political climate. All in all, it's a great time to come to the site but will mean everyone has to make new characters. If you want more info you can check out the announcement board which has all available information or jump in Discord and chat with folks.

Now, a couple thoughts on the character. I want to applaud you for not falling into the pit trap of making your character a force god just because his parents happen to be sensitive. His power levels were pretty consistent with someone who left the Jedi in his late teens. Making a character too powerful is really easy to do, but you did a good job here.

The only real issue I see is saying his parents were punished due to being together and having a child. During this time period (and I would guess the next one but it hasn't been confirmed yet) relationships are not forbidden or even discouraged among Jedi. Many Jedi have spouses and families during this time. This fact has several cascading effects to the rest of background that you would probably want to adjust.

I am no authority on character profiles and am only speaking from my experience. @Valen Pelora is the leader of the Jedi Faction and would most likely need to give his approval since your character's background mostly revolves around the Jedi.

Again, welcome back and feel free to reach out if you have any questions!

Thanks! Glad to be back, I really appreciate the feedback too! I was actually worried about that being a problem as soon as I posted this thread, but I was so exhausted by then that I just decided to leave it, lol, I need to fix my sleep schedule. All in all I'm really thankful for the help. :)

In addition to Raydo's super helpful advice, I would also like to mention that the Trade Federation hasn't really been involved in this timeline that I know of.

Changing the aesthetics of weapons, ships, armor, and gear is perfectly fine, but make sure that you state that Kovi's blaster is equivalent in stats to an approved blaster in the Tech Compendium. In addition to this you should also add how many clips he carries for the weapon on the profile, that way no one can call you out for having too many clips in a PvP. More on changing the aesthetics of tech can be found here.

On Kovi's droid you can either do the same thing, or submit a new droid to be approved. Keep in mind that all tech will be archived once the new timeline begins however.

I really like Kovi's personality and I can't wait to see you in some threads once a Jedi AFL approves him!
