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 matriarcal society Aodán finds himself often deffering 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 advisaries.
BIOGRAPHY:
Aodán was the third child born to the former echani Jedi Counsular 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 utalizing the force in any way. It was considered taboo amongst 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 Acadamy 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 tennats 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: Realising 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 dualist 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 manuvered 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 patriarcal 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.

Moza Aban

oqV0Tvo.jpg


NAME: Moza Aban
FACTION: Jedi Order
RANK: Jedi Knight
SPECIES: Ithorian
AGE: 34 Galactic Standard Years
GENDER: Male
HEIGHT: 6 feet 8 inches (2.1 meters)
WEIGHT: 200lbs. (90.7185 kg)
EYES: Black
HAIR: Brown
SKIN: Dark-Red
CREDITS: 1000
DISTINGUISHING MARKS: Two mouths on the side of his head, curved neck, throat sack...you know the usual for an Ithorian anyway.
FORCE SENSITIVE: Yes

STRENGTH: 6/10 Although slightly above average in terms of strength for a human Moza is by no means the strongest combatant. Although it should be noted by Ithorian standards he is actually rather strong and he does work to constantly better himself in his free time.
DEXTERITY: 6/10 Ithorians in general are not the most agile of creatures and are often slower and less dexterious than the standard human. So it can often come as a surprise to most to see Moza move as quickly and as capablely as he does. Granted it has taken a lot of years of training just to get to be above human standard where more nimble races certainly have it easier than him.
CONSTITUTION: 8/10 Master Moza is an incredibly hardy individual as are most Ithorians. With four sets of lungs and a strong frame it takes quite a lot to even come close to exhausting him. His stamina often allows him to outlast many who would try to face him if he can manage it.
INTELLIGENCE: 7/10 Moza is an incredibly intelligent individual who spent a great deal of his life after his metamorphasis with the Jedi Order. There he acquired as much knowledge as he could get his hands on and after becoming a knight he eventually became a teacher of younglings himself. His knowledge of herblore and mechanics are quite top notch.
WISDOM: 8/10 Moza has a deep connection with the natural world and with the force itself. He often prefers to look inward instead of without and has come to a great understanding of his abilities and those of others. This connection he often seeks to share and impart with others whenever he gets the chance.
CHARISMA: 5/10 While not the most charming individual Moza can often convey himself well when his opinions need to be spoken. Still many often might not take him as seriously due to his appearance. But he is quite the genial and polite fellow as are most Ithorians.

PERSONALITY:
Moza sees himself as the inheritor of two legacies to carry on and try to make an impact within the galaxy. The first being the legacy of is herd and the second being that of his late master. Both groups saught to try and heal the wounds that war, crime, and general villiany has all but caused on many worlds. But whereas the Ithorian herd was more pacifist in its actions Moza has realized that sometimes force is needed to clear the rot from the wound before it can be healed. In this way the more martial bend of the current Jedi mindset has colored his views. But unlike many of his fellows he sees his nigh "holy" crusade to be one of mending not destruction. Keeping more in line with the tenets of the Jedi code the more he sees his fellows pull away from it.
The other aspect of Moza's devotion to the dual legacies comes in his delving into the force. With his late master and the nature priest Chodau having been the two biggest figures in his life and both considered deeply spiritual people. These two men guided Moza to always strive to explore the greater depths of the force as it was a path to enlightenment, or a means to commune with the Mother Jungle. This desire to expand his knowledge and his master's guidance was what lead him to adopt form VI.

BIOGRAPHY:
Moza, like most Ithorians, was born upon one of their mighty herdships that hovered over the vast jungle planet of Ithor. The clutch he was born to held hundreds of his brothers and sisters, though sadly most didn't make it passed the puba stage of their life. Yet this timultuous time was when the strong stood out and even among them Moza stood above the other puba. Chodau Pefan, the herd ship's nature priest and spiritual elder, felt the pull of the force from the young Moza as time went on. As did a visiting human Jedi Consular by the name of Rion Lau whose mission was to learn more of the Ithorian terraforming process. For centuries the heated battles of the jedi and their sworn enemies the Sith had ravaged worlds in the past. So when the rumors of the Sith's return began to echo along the outer rim Master Lau took it upon himself to try and find a means of healing what he precieved to be wounds caused by the destruction of warfare. Whether it was coincidence or guidence by the force Master Lau had chosen the exact herdship that Moza was located upon. Had he picked any other one the future of the young Ithorian might have taken a vastly different shape as a nature priest instead of the knight he would become.
As it was Mastr Lau negotiated for the puba to be brought into the Jedi order ater his metamorphasis took place. In return the Jedi Knight would add a degree of legitimacy to the world traveling Ithorian herdship's buisness interests. Opening doors to the Ithorians through his own personal contacts that would have passed over the group otherwise. It was during this period of waiting that Moza learned much of his people and culture. For the puba the world was so vast and vibrant that he simply couldn't get enough information. This thirst would more or less linger with the Ithorian through all of his life, but never again would it be as pure as it was a puba. Still Chodau was accomadating and developed and excellerated learning course as he wished to impart the values of the Ithorians to Moza before he was taken off by the order and away from his herd. These lessons were meant to instill a sense of legacy in the puba to carry on into the Jedi order. As well as give him a foundation always steeped within his people to build upon. Though largely private the lessons did have one special visitor that was allowed to join them, and that was the Jedi Rion Lau.
In this manner things continued until Moza and his many surviving siblings underwent the metamorphasis. Having learned much it was time for the young Ithorian to part ways with his herd as per the agreement made years before. Yet this was what he was training for and it was with an eager heart that the Ithorian freely left with Master Lau to begin the next phase of his life. Leaving the only home he had ever known to travel with the Knight to the Jedi temple to begin his formal training into the order. Here the young Ithorian's mind was able to expand with so much information at his fingertips. His body was also put through rigorous training to make up for the inheraint traits of the Ithorians. Time flew in a whirlwind of exploring and training until the years came to see Moza graduate from youngling to padawan learner, and the formation of his lightsaber. In spite of his youth Moza was already proving to be quite adept with his usage of the force. So when it came time to be assigned to a master there was little surprise that the Ithorian already had one lined up for him. A Jedi Consular who understood Ithorian, had a wealth of knowledge on their customs and traditions, was gifted with the force, and had known Moza most of the Ithorian's life. The Master Lau that Moza had viewed almost as a replacement father figure chose him as his padawan.
The accomplished Jedi taught the young ithorian much in their time together, with much of it dealing with the greater mysteries of the force itself. It was under Master Lau's suggestion that Moza began to learn Form VI Niman as the knight was already a master of the style and felt it fit Moza personality perfectly. The normally difficult moderation form seemed initially quite easy for the Ithorian to pick up at first. The relaxed bladework was easy to learn coming out of the temple and it flowed smoothly for Moza in practice and live combat. Only when his master decded it was time to begin to incorperate force techniques into the style did Moza truly see the difficulty of Form VI. To split ones mind between the force and combat was hard enough with practice droids and training sabers. But then adding the very real dangers of live peacekeeping missions and Moza develped a whole new appreciation for his master's skill. The two continued their adventures with Moza's abilities constantly on the rise and his training being shaped by his master and his lineage. Then at the age of 22 Moza was finally deemed ready to face the trials to ascend to knighthood. The harrowing test was met with the Ithorian's placid calm and in th end Moza earned his place as a knight in the Jedi Order.
The next few years saw the Ithorian at the Jedi temple honing his skills while teaching various classes of younglings on the force. It was during this time that Moza was first acknowledged to have mastered Form VI by the Jedi council in a demonstration of his abilities. This was the culmination of a decade of training and a dedication to the sole style for almost the entirity of his life with the Jedi. Yet good news is often tempered with bad and in Moza's case it was no less true. Taking the form of a message from the council of the death of his old master Rion Lau while out on a mission in the outer rim. It had been five years since they had last seen each other and yet the news hit him just as if they had seen each other the day before. Moza's grief was immense as it was to Moza like losing a father. In all his life he had never once displayed the unique Ithorian bellow they were capable of. But on that day the halls of the temple rang with the sound of his cry as grief drowned out all sense in Moza. Yet this was a lesson all Jedi eventually came to know intimately, and why the formation of attatchments were so potentially dangerous. Had it not been for his fellow Jedi and the tenets that had shaped his life up until that point Moza might have lost himself to his grief and anger. Instead the Ithorian came out of the passing stronger and eventually regained his peace once more. That eventually peace found itself in the solace that so long as he was alive his master was never truly gone. Rion Lau, Moza rationalized, lived on within his training and in the training that he might one day impart upon a padawan. This glorious realization did not come quickly, but when it did it sparked something new within Moza. The Knight who had been content to teach suddenly found in him a calling to carry on his late master's work. Resolved on the matter he went to the council, and with their blessing he finished his last classes and set out to the galaxy at large to begin a new chapter.

FORCE POWERS:
Force push/pull 8/10
Force speed 6/10
Force Jump 7/10
Force Sense 9/10
Force Barrier 8/10
Mind Trick 8/10
Force Heal 8/10
Force Bellow 10/10

SKILLS:
Moza's greatest skills come in the form of his knowledge and power in the force. Spurred on by his late master Moza developed his abilities in conjunction with his bladework. The practice of Niman giving him plenty of time to strengthen his skills with the force itself. He has also been declared a master of the Niman style after spending a decade of working only upon that one combat form both with his master and on his own.
Moza is an accomplished healer and a rather skilled botanist. With an ever expanding knowledge of herblore which comes from his ever growing collection of books on the subject.

*A strong Peacekeeper and Healer
*Skilled practitioner of the force and the more defensive lightsaber forms. He is also capable of producing the strong Force bellow, further enhanced by his spiecies physiology.
*Highly tuned sense of the natural world, he is capable of feeling out what he calls wounds in the force. Ofter corruptions of nature, and or devistation of a planets natural state.
*He can speak Ithorian and understand Basic, Shyriiwook, Bocci, Binary, and Twi'leki

LIGHTSABER/SWORD FORMS:
Moza carries with him a single hilt green bladed lightsaber at all times.

Rankings (from weakest to strongest) Novice, Adept, Expert, Mastered.
Form I: Shii-cho, Adept: When Moza first joined the Jedi Order shortly after his metamorphasis he was trained in Shii-cho as all new Jedi are. While not particularly favoring the form he did learn enough to become profiecient and allow him to move to other forms.
Form III: Soresu, Expert: Soresu has been a form Moza had started learning before his Master changed his course to work on Niman. It was recently readded to his skill set after gaining mastery of Niman, and as such he hasn't achieved the mastery that some of his commrads have in their forms. Moza began training in this style to shore up his defense against blaster fire and to make use of his general stamina in a fight.
Form VI: Niman, Mastered: Due to the relaxed bladework of the style and its dedication to using the force in combat Moza chose this as the first style to truly learn. The training was tough and the focus on splitting ones focus to actively use the force in combat was difficult. But after a decade of training in the style he became an official master of the moderation form and uses it as his primary style of fighting when he goes into combat.

STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES:
+Skilled Force user and dualist
+Healer and botanist
+Wise and Intuitive
+Has two mouths and four throats therefore rather difficult to Force choke

-Can't defeat a skilled Makashi user in combat
-In terms of strength and deterity he is just barely above a standard human
-Can't speak basic without a translator droid or device attatched.

GEAR:
Green bladed lightsaber, Datapad, Translator device, Grey loose fitting clothing with a black robe.

I like him (Moza). His pursuit of knowledge would make him great friends with my Jedi, Babuzaba (he's not done, but will be soon).
