Theme​

Asuka Hino was a Force-sensitive human female from Corvus and a member of the Jedi Order who held the rank of Jedi Knight. Asuka was discovered on her homeworld while she was still young and she was given to the Jedi as a way of sparing her from a life on a mostly impoverish and razed world, thanks to the machinations of Magistrate Morgan Elsbeth over a century earlier while the planet was still under the jurisdiction of the magistrate's Imperial remnant.

Biography

Asuka Hino was born on the planet Corvus, in the city of Callodan, and into a relatively poor family. Her parents both worked in the city's lumber industry, harvesting what remained of its burned out forests to serve as both fuel and raw building material. Growing up, her mother would tell her bedtime stories about the Jedi and the Mandalorian who saved their city over a century ago from the rule of a tyrannical magistrate, who worked for the former Chiss Grand Admiral Thrawn. Asuka grew up idolizing the Jedi and was therefore ecstatic when, at the young age of ten, she began to display signs of Force-sensitivity herself. Wanting a better life for their daughter than she would find in Callodan, Asuka's parents surrendered her into the care of the New Jedi Order, where she could learn to use her talents and see more of the galaxy and help others in need.

Asuka was initially excited to begin her Jedi training. But her excitement dimmed as her lessons began and she found herself increasingly isolated from her peers. As the Jedi Order no longer practiced taking children from their homes for training, she discovered that she was among the youngest students at the temple on Ajan Kloss. The age gap between her and her contemporaries made others treat her more like a little sister than an equal. They also advanced through their lessons faster than her, feeding a sense of jealousy in the young Padawan. When Asuka was finally taken by a Master for more direct training—a man by the name of Rhonan Fel—their early relationship was plagued by tension and anger as Asuka continued to struggle fitting in with her peers.

However, as Asuka's training with Rhonan progressed and she grew older, she mellowed out considerably and even came to consider him a second father to her. She inherited Rhonan's free spirit and his unconventional tactics, becoming known as somewhat of a loner and a maverick within the Jedi Order. Though, she never lost the fire and the spunk that defined her childhood and adolescence. She also developed a particular vendetta against organized crime, having seen the hold criminal gangs had on Callodan during her youth on Corvus. At the end of her long road of training, Rhonan himself knighted her as a freshly minted Knight of the Jedi Order. Despite the bond Master and Apprentice possessed, Asuka and Rhonan would see very little of each other after her knighting, as the two went their separate ways in service of the Order.

As a Jedi Knight, Asuka maintained her maverick reputation. She was rarely seen on the Order's homeworld of Ajan Kloss and she often shunned its various gatherings, conclaves, and memorials. She preferred, instead, to stick to the Outer Rim Territories, where she hunted down and dismantled criminal syndicates wherever she could. She also constructed a pair of white-bladed lightsabers during her travels, suggesting that she has had contact with Dark Jedi at some point in her career.

Personality and traits

Asuka Hino was a short, dark-skinned, stone-faced human, with a fiery and spunky disposition. She had long dark hair, though she occasionally cut it short, when the situation called for it. She also wore maroon Jedi robes, which were personally tailored to reflect the culture of her homeworld.

Asuka could at times be rash and unconventional, and was somewhat of a daredevil, unafraid (and even thrill by) dangerous situations. She was also blunt and was not known for being particularly polite, nor were her superiors warm towards her due to her tendency to question and defy orders. Her sarcasm was particularly noteworthy, as was her defining trait: a penchant for single-minded determination that bordered on insanity. Once she had made up her mind to do something, she rarely quit until it was done.

This isn't to say Asuka was without a softer side, though it was rarely seen. She had a tenderness for children, those who grew up in poverty, slaves, and those who had suffered at the hands of criminals. Asuka was not accustomed to showing this side of herself. When she did, she was noticeably awkward, so she did not like to make big displays of it. However, she was capable of at least showing a more mellow side to herself whenever she was in the company of friends or her former Master.

In battle, Asuka was usually remarkably calm for someone of her disposition, demonstrating the central Jedi traits of peace over emotion. However, she was not immune to the occasional display of arrogance in the face of victory or a foe in which she was clearly more skilled. She could also become more brutal and aggressive when pressed or backed into a corner. As a result, she practiced lightsaber styles that would enable her to vent her excess frustrations in a positive fashion.

Powers and abilities

A Jedi Knight in the prime of her life, Asuka was capable of all of the feats that came with her station. She had a strong connection to the Force, enabling her to lift and throw objects many times her short stature and minuscule weight. She was also prone to strong premonitions and Force-related dreams and had an unusually strong Force sensing ability, allowing her to detect people with strength in the Force across vast distances (so long as they were not actively hiding their presence).

Asuka's most prominent Jedi skill was her dueling capabilities. She was a Jar'Kai specialist and wielded her dual white lightsabers in the unconventional reverse-grip fashion—though she could also wield them in the traditional manner. Aiding her dueling prowess, Asuka was highly acrobatic. Her fighting style encouraged flips, Force-enhanced jumps, backpedals, and more, though the downside of this was that she tired rapidly if a duel prolonged itself. When possible, Asuka liked to psychologically mess with her opponents, whether this be through the use of stealth—appearing and then disappearing to psyche them out—or through traded barbs in battle.

As a Jedi, she was a trained pilot who could use the Force to enhance her piloting skills, though she was not fond of flying and loathed dogfights. She had moderate mechanical skills, enough to preform simple repairs on her ship, though anything significant would require a mechanic or a droid. She also knew a myriad of languages prominent in the Outer Rim due to years spent traveling the region with her Master. In normal conversation, however, she stuck to Galactic Basic, which she could speak with and without a Corvosian accent.
