Aodán Sidal
NAME: Aodán Sidal
FACTION: Jedi Order
RANK: Padawan
SPECIES: Echani, Near-Human
HOME WORLD: Eshan, Eshan System, Inner Rim (N-8 on the grid according to wookiepedia)
AGE: 18
GENDER: Male
HEIGHT: 6'1 (185.42 cm)
WEIGHT: 164 lbs (74.39 kg)
EYES: Silver
HAIR: Silver at a medium length with the classic padawan braid resting at his right ear.
SKIN: Snowy white
CREDITS: 1,000
DISTINGUISHING MARKS: None
FORCE SENSITIVE: Yes he is force sensitive and has had some formal training with the Jedi Order.
STRENGTH: 7/10 In terms of sheer physical strength Aodán is above average for a young human male. The Echani culture is one centered around combat and from an early age Aodán studied and practiced in Echani martial arts with his brothers and older sister. Through this system of development he has grown rather strong over time.
DEXTERITY: 6/10 When it comes to nimbleness and agility Aodán is just barely above average as once again this plays into the rigors of his youth. Of his siblings he is the slowest but because of constantly sparring with them he has increased reaction times born through actual combat.
CONSTITUTION: 8/10 Aodán is a very hardy individual with a great deal of stamina. To put it in other terms he may win the sprint by he will excel in the marathon. On top of that he has a very strong constitution and is rarely if ever sick. Mixed with sheer tenacity Aodán can last a good while in strenuous situations.
INTELLIGENCE: 5/10 Aodán is moderately intelligent and happily devoured information as he transitioned from boyish youth to adolescence. His keen mind seemed to only be limited by the knowledge that he could get his hands on. While in no way a technical virtuoso he does have an affinity for repairing machinery, especially the personal shields the Echani are rather famous for.
WISDOM: 8/10 Where Aodán was limited in his ability to learn beyond a certain amount due to his environment. So he would more than made up for it in his natural perceptions and innate feelings. With a high degree of empathy and intuition coupled with years of combat experience has given Aodán a hint of the famed Echani "Battle Empathy." In which he can read feelings and emotion through martial combat. He is also devolping hints of the "Battle Precognition" that Echani generals are famed for. While not an actual force ability he has fought so often and for so much of his life that he can feel out a person's actions by the way their body moves over time. The longer he is in a fight or the more times he fights the same person the better he becomes at reading and predicting their movements.
CHARISMA: 5/10 Aodán has a general warmth about him that makes him rather likable to most he meets. With that said he normally isn't one to seek the spotlight like many others are inclined to do, instead he often forges strong bonds with a handful of people. This paired with the matriarcal nature of Echani society often leaves him to listen more before speaking, especially when around women. But when he does offer his opinions or have something to impart he can convey himself rather well.
PERSONALITY:
Aodán can come of as soft spoken and aloof when he is first met by others. But this is due to the fact that he often observes his surroundings more than most and picks his words very carefully. To the Echani words are like wind and the true way to know a person is through combat. This holds true to Aodán as the moment he is able to enter a fight the calm front he offers melts away like the snows on the mountain ranges of Eshan. It is through battle that he truly expresses himself free of all concern and inhibitions.
Due to the Echani's matriarchal society Aodán finds himself often deferring more to the opinions of his female superiors. This in no way means blind obedience, but he does hold their opinions and advise in higher regard simply because of his upbringing. In addition he holds a great deal of reverence for the moons of most worlds. Echani culture being based upon moon worship as opposed to their close kin and bitter rivals the Thyrisians and their Sun worship.
Aodán greatly respects other warrior cultures and societies with the exception of the Thyrisians. His view of Mandalorians is especially interesting as the two cultures were often at odds with one another. But in spite of the pitched battles they waged and their great rivalry Aodán views the Mandalorians as worthy adversaries.
BIOGRAPHY:
Aodán was the third child born to the former echani Jedi Consular Saani Sidal and her husband Yoren Reumar on the Echani capital planet Eshan. The loving couple had four children all together. Their first child was Aodán's elder sister Naya who was four years his senior and looked strongly of their mother Saani. Then came his older brother of a year Darryn and his younger twin Athan. The three boys physical features all were a near perfect match with differences so minute that even their parents couldn't tell them apart, and all of them took after their father physically.
By the time the twins were born Aodán's older sister Naya was already beginning her combat training under her mother's tutalige. A prodigy in the making the young child was already developing force abilities as well as a quick study of her mother's teachings. By comparison the boys took a little longer but they weren't far behind their sister. By the time the twins were her age the three boys began their training together. For years they would frequently spar multiple times a day. Either under the watchful eyes of their parents or that of their sister. The boys developed a way of moving that was almost akin to a dance in its beauty and captivating in its ferocity. This continued until they were old enough to enter school and their true technical training began. It was during this phase in his life that he went through the typical Echani schooling, learning maths and sciences, tactics and history, Mando'a was taught to understand their closest enemies (besides the Thyrisians), there was also regular sessions of combat in which the instructors would gradually move children up the tiers as they developed, and finally most important of all it was also during this time that Aodán's own abilities with the force began to develop. To his mother and sister this became wonderful news and at home he began training to develop his abilities. But while he was at school his mother forbid him from utilizing the force in any way. It was considered taboo among the Echani to taint their martial arts with outside influence. Only with Aodán's sister Naya could the young man fight with the force to augment him as that would put the pair on equal footing.
Life like this went on for the young man for years, until finally on his sixteenth birthday Aodán would be sent off to the Jedi Academy to begin formal training as a Jedi Knight. This was just as his sister had done, and in fact their mother before the both of them. With a strong background in martial skills and the training his mother provided over the course of years Aodán quickly passed through the early phase of training. He showed his skill in Shii-Cho and practical application of the force early on and was advanced on to more formal training. Aodán found a knack for Form II and began to develop his training around the style. Keeping up with his Shii-Cho work and even helping to train some of his fellow padawan in the basic tenants of Echani martial arts. In the six months before he left the academy Aodán also began to work on Form Vs Shien varient due to the weaknesses of Shii-Cho and Makashi in training with multiple training remotes moving about. In that time he devoted himself to the study knowing that the next step in his future was quickly approaching.
FORCE POWERS:
This section is being done on a scale of 1-10 with 4 being the highest a non-trained force wielder can reach.
Force Jump: 5/10 Aodán has spent two years of his life with the Jedi training in his abilities to augment his body through the force. He has proven quite adept in skills allowing him to augment his body.
Force Speed: 5/10 While the burst of speed is always a solid skill to possess and Aodán has worked to increase the speed in which his body can move. Although he is now looking to try and hone the skill to focus on increasing more minute movements instead of a general burst of speed. With training he might even manage it.
Force Sense: 4/10 (in general) 6/10 (in combat) Aodán's abilities to sense naturally is about the basic level of any padawan. He can get strong feelings through the force but he is not very good at detecting those who wish to remain hidded.
It is only in combat that this ability jumps up due to the Echani's abilities to read the emotions and feelings of others through combat. It certainly wont tell him exactly what an opponent will do, and against a more experienced fighter it would likely do just enough to help him survive. But against an opponent who had little to no combat training it would be like reading their every move before they could strike. To someone with even combat experience it likely would give him a little edge in the fight, but certainly nothing that is overwhelming to the opponent.
Force Push/Pull: 5/10 Aodán's skill in telekinesis is rather solid and he tries to train his mind and body to get better at it. He will try and employ these skills in combat but he finds it difficult to focus enough to do so.
SKILLS:
Born to a warrior race where siblings were so similar it was almost impossible to tell them apart from one another the Echani instead developed a means of communication through combat. Aodán being a product of countless generations of Echani teachings has developed quite a fair deal of skill in physical fighting both bare handed and with a blade. He has also learned how to feel out another person's emotions through combat and to read the body of his opponent over time.
He has also developed a talent for repairing personal shields after having worked on both his own and his siblings for many many years growing up. His specialty being those of Echani design, and it drops off the further one strays from the Echani manufacture.
*Potential as a Knight/Peacekeeper
*Trained and skilled Echani martial artist. Skilled in unarmed combat, vibroblades, and lightsabers.
*Serious and driven individual who seeks to perfect his skills and serve the Jedi cause.
*Skilled when it comes to repairing personal shields of Echani make.
*He can speak Basic, Mando'a, and understands Binary
LIGHTSABER/SWORD FORMS:
Aodán carries with him a single hilt lightsaber that once belonged to his mother Sanni. The blade itself uses a Durindfire crystal which gives the blade a silver color. The twin of his blade belongs to his sister Naya.
Rankings (from weakest to strongest) Novice, Adept, Expert, Mastered.
Form I Shii-Cho-Adept: Having spent two years with the Jedi coupled with his own background with vibroblades he picked up Shii-Cho incredibly fast as it held a lot of core principles as Echani bladework. He is often seen reverting to this style when he finds that Makashi simply will not do, but adding his own Echani flare to the styles basic tennents.
Form II Makashi-Adept: Carrying on from Shii-Cho Aodán has come to truly enjoy the form and grace of Form II. The skillful form of lightsaber combat matches the ideals of Echani battle greatly and as such Aodán took to it like a fish to water. This is the style he is seeking to truly master.
Form V Shien varient-Novice: Realizing that with the rise of blasters some defensive form was needed Aodán began training in Form V. The movements being a combination of Form II and III gave Aodán a little foundation to build off of due to his study of Form II. As of now he is still practicing even though he has been moved out from the temple to the galaxy at large.
STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES:
Strengths:
Aodán has a warm personality when he is finally able to open up to people. Often forming lasting bonds with those he is close with.
He has a strong desire for perfection of his own skills and the skills of his friends. This drive motivates him to carry on his path to Knighthood.
Aodán is particularly skilled in sensing others emotions and reading their movement in combat. This makes him a skilled duelist and likely a powerful figure as he ages and gets stronger.
His resilience and stamina are rather high for a youth of his age. He can last longer through physical activity that may tire others out.
Weaknesses:
Aodán can seem as rather cold and aloof to those who don't know him well enough. Due to his habit to observe and the feeling that the only way to truly know another is through combat he doesn't tend to actively express himself in words.
Intellectually Aodán is rather average and he can certainly be out maneuvered and out thought by others.
He has a tendency to form strong bonds with those close to him. These emotional attachments serve as a strength and equally great weakness.
Aodán's culture was very matriarcal in nature and as such Aodán tends to defer to women in authority figures. In more patriarchal or egalitarian societies he tends to stand out due to his beliefs. While this does not lead to blind obedience it does tend to cloud his judgement around authoritative women, especially ones who happen to be warriors.
GEAR:
Aodán's can normally be seen in either simple beige or gray clothing trimmed in teal and gold as those were his family colors. He carries with him his personal shield generator which is designed to absorb blaster bolt energy. The device is set on an armband resting upon his right arm. Aodán inherited the second of his mother's lightsabers, the first having gone to his sister. Both sabers were made with durindfire crystals which gives it a silver blade.

The moment Aodán had heard of the challenge he knew immediately that this would be something he couldn't miss out on. With extra training done for the weeks leading up to the event the Echani couldn't be more ready. With a chance to prove himself and hopefully catch the eye of a potential master Aodán is ready, willing, and prepared to fight against the knight Coryn Del.
