Calmax Corint
Excerpt · Biography · Personality and traits · Powers and abilities · Miscellaneous · Roleplays · Theme
Calmax Corint, or Cal, formerly the Honorable Calmax, heir-apparent to the Duchy of Corint, is a Force-sensitive human male and aspiring Jedi Consular. Born into a lesser branch of the Shu-Torun Royal Family, he joined the Jedi Order as a young boy, as part of a package of pro-Republic overtures made by his homeworld in the closing years of the Hundred Year Darkness.
A bright, studious young man and consummate Jedi, he displays considerable promise despite his relative youth.

▵Biography
Cal was born on the volcanic world of Shu-Torun, the eldest of four children born to Duke Maximillius Corint and his wife. The Corint family numbers amongst Shu-Torun's oldest and most venerable houses, deriving its name from the Corintium ore that it has mined and exported for centuries. Cal's father is both an 'ore-duke' and younger brother to the late monarch, King Quaford, making Cal his nephew by blood.
Back then, with five children of his own, the King was always unlikely to have much need of his nephew and Cal's studious nature and penchant for looking forward were ill-suited to the cut and thrust of mineral trading. Indeed, there was considerable disquiet within Cal's House and wider family as to what role might be found for him that would both utilise his talents and befit his noble blood.
As fortune would have it, the war between Jedi and Exiles encircling Shu-Torun was to provide an unlikely solution. With hostile forces drawing closer, Shu-Torun initially petitioned for Jedi and Republic aid in order to protect its borders. Already spread thin, the Jedi delegation that visited the planet sought certain assurances in return, agreeing a concordat sealed through a group of Force Sensitives from that world agreeing to join the Order. Picked out by the Jedi in a crowded throne room, Cal was told the truth that he was until then wholly unaware of.
Captured by the idea of life as a Jedi from the outset, Cal seldom if ever looked back. Spending a short spell in foundation training on Jedha, he was soon apprenticed to Master Trystan Yu in what became a primarily 'on the road' partnership. Though Master Yu was hugely knowledgeable and experienced, he was an elderly man in the final years of life, will skills best deployed away from front line combat. Journeying from world to world in the Core, Mid Rim and beyond, Yu and Cal spent years seeking to forge alliances and rally neighbouring systems to the Order's cause.
When word came down that Cal and all other young Jedi had been Knighted by decree, he accepted the privilege with Yu's blessing. It was a seminal moment for the boy, though their parting was even more so. Finally recalled for the battle at Ilum, Master Yu left Cal to continue his work building bridges between the galaxy's great and good.
Cal has continued in this role to the present day, honouring his Master's memory long after his fall at Ilum and the chaos that has gripped the galaxy since. The recent news that his homeworld has now thrown in its lot with the Sith Empire has hit him hard, but he fights on for a brighter future, trying desperately not to look back.
▵Personality and traits
In many ways, Cal is a consummate Jedi Knight. Driven by an iron sense of duty, to the Jedi Order, the Republic and the oaths he has sworn, he places tremendous importance on his position and prestige as a Jedi, not as a hollow title but as the culmination of a life's ambition and hard work. He believes in the Order, and in the Jedi, as goods in themselves.
He is a calm and cautious young man, a foreward planner with the insight and charisma of someone much older. Having always looked to the future since he was a child, Cal readily sees and understands 'the big picture' in a situation and stands out from his peers who typically live in the moment. Very serious, he has a lot of time for his elders and for men and women of experience and conviction, over and above emotion or sentiment.
These positive qualities make him a natural listener and mediator, underpinned by his impressive knowledge of concepts, cultures and the Force, gained from his years with Master Yu. Well travelled and someone who enjoys learning for its own sake, he has a considerable grasp of galactic history and events.
Ultimately, Cal holds himself to a very high standard, always determined to be in control of himself and his situation. The pressure he exerts on himself is sometimes palpable and he keeps his emotions under tight wrap, bottling up promises to his family and Master, together with fears of failure, regret and inadequacy for the immense task at hand. Dark tidings from his homeworld stir loyalties of blood and birthright in his troubled heart and he yearns to see Shu-Torun freed from a devil's pact with the twisted Sith Empire.
▵Powers and abilities
Cal Corint is filled with light. He doesn't just serve as a Jedi, but he still believes in what they stand for; a pure conviction that translates through every fibre of his being. He is an anchor in the Force, a presence that radiates and reinforces, acting as an immediate stabilising influence in any arena.
Calm, collected and with as deep a knowledge of Force techniques as his years allow, he is a powerful practitioner, particularly in the arts of protection, warding and buttressing the will of others. These are areas to which he has committed significant study in recent years, but his other talents include those honed through his experience as an envoy and negotiator, including his ability to sense and influence the thoughts and feelings of others.
Though his aptitude for Force powers is his greatest asset, Cal remains a competent lightsaber duellist. All too aware that he lacks the proficiency for a complex Form, he employs the defensive stance and techniques common to Soresu, relying on counterattacks and his Force arsenal to dispense with the few enemies he encounters.
Unusually for a Jedi of his stripe, he wields a crossguard hilt lightsaber with a lilac blade, feeling the style both best reflects the traditional roots of Jedi Knights and serves as a strong statement piece during diplomatic meetings.
