Character Information
-
Celtar was born to Jedi parents on Tython and lived a traditional Jedi childhood full of training, missions, and the like. While many of his peers came from non-Jedi parentage, Celtar's parents worked closely with the Republic and Border Alliance and were, as a result, frequently away from Tython. Occasionally, Celtar would be able to partake in these missions, though his own Master often had him occupied elsewhere. Despite his mother being Echani and his father being Thyrsian, Celtar learned an impressive amount of combat and tactics during his childhood, though the Jedi nature of his parents prevented any major issues resulting from their being of two sides of a coin.
Celtar was a pretty standard Jedi throughout his childhood and, as a young Knight, made his name known as a combatant and brilliant tactician. His rapid development, teaching abilities, and dedication to the Order endowed him to the Council, eventually allowing Celtar to earn the title of Master. When the Sith returned, however, Celtar was one of the first to advocate for the use of force (and the Force) against the Brotherhood.
With the formation of the Jedi Army, Celtar was named General and allowed to command his own fleet. He struck hard against the Sith, pushing them back wherever possible and working with his comrades in the hope that a tactical mistake would allow for victory. This momentum against the Sith, as well as his various achievements, led Celtar to develop a sense of pride in himself and his skills. The Jedi eventually believed himself undefeatable, though did not dare reveal this belief to his comrades, who he felt would not understand.
The tide changed, however, and the Sith regained the momentum, eventually pushing the Jedi back to Tython. Above Tython, Celtar believed the Sith attack to be a bluff, the type of maneuver to test the waters as opposed to a legitimate attack. As such, Celtar overextended his fleet, resulting in much of it being destroyed. While he continued to fight, he watched the destruction of Tython firsthand and, feeling the death of the Jedi Order, his parents, and his homeworld, changed drastically. In addition, it was during this battle that Celtar lost his left forearm and hand, though an adequate prosthetic was built for him by Jedi Healer and General, Valen Pelora.
The General fled to Army controlled space and, with the Army leadership having discovered his pride and uncovered the truth around Tython, was demoted to Knight, stripped of all authority, and exiled for one year to reflect on his actions. When he returned, it was obvious that the once prodigal son of the Jedi Army was now little more than a shell of his former self. Celtar had taken to smoking cigars and, more importantly, drinking most of the day away. Where he was once a proud member of the Jedi who strove to teach, serve, and fight was now a drunken mess. Where he once spent his days training, teaching, and taking on the riskiest of missions, Celtar now spends his days buying and drinking as much alcohol as he can. Where he was once an unparalleled swordsman and tactician, he is now typically too drunk to fight or strategize properly. In fact, when he is sober he is capable of holding off multiple opponents with ease and is an excellent tactician, though he is rarely sober and never by choice.
Having spent most of the past years alone, most believe that he died in exile. Celtar trains in isolation and has become more accustomed to fighting while intoxicated, using a mixture of the Force and instinct to counteract the most debilitating effects. The Knight has also become a master of his metabolism, using the Force and various techniques to slow it down to make the most of a limited alcohol supply or speeding it up to sober up if, for some reason, he feels it necessary. The Knight never leaves home without at least one flask, though often carries enough alcohol to last him for some time. It is this love of alcohol that has rendered him ineligible to fly, meaning he often takes public transportation or bums rides from what few acquaintances he has left.

Weapon Master: A former weapon master in the Jedi Army, Celtar is an expert in most common lightsaber builds, including shoto lightsabers, lightsaber pikes, and crossguard lightsabers. He maintains a working knowledge of all lightsaber forms, though has focused on two forms in particular and, due to one of them utilizing Jar'Kai, keeps a second weapon available at all times. Celtar feels truly at home in battle and his few remaining friends understand that he both opens up and feels useful in battle.
Expert Tactician: As a Jedi General for quite some time, Celtar is a skilled tactician. The General routinely practiced his craft, though the Knight has fallen out of practice and, while still skillful, has accumulated some rust on his tactical skill. While he occasionally practices and works to maintain his skill, the fact that he remains drunk often undercuts any attempt at practice. The Knight will, however, routinely study previous battles in order to better understand the development of tactics through the ages and to improve his knowledge and application of maneuvers when he actually utilizes his tactical abilities. The Knight is always mentally calculating his maneuvers and will often appear to act irrationally and unexpectedly, though his allows him to more easily gain an advantage as opposed to acting in an orthodox manner.
Form X: Celtar has dedicated the past few years to studying Form X, if only because his one remaining friend, Valen Pelora, forced him to do so and has attained proficiency. At first, Celtar couldn't have cared less, though seeing how effective the style was against him resulted in Celtar putting down the booze long enough for each lesson. As such, the Knight regularly practices with this style, hoping to one day master it to a degree that he can successfully face the creator without losing.
Form V, Djem So: His fallback form, and also the form with which he has most experience, Celtar is a former master of this style. This skill level has dropped due to more time being spent with Form X, though the Knight is still skilled with this form and can fall back on it instinctively without delay and without reducing his effectiveness.
Hand-to-Hand Combatant: With Celtar's mother being an Echani and his father being a Thyrsian, Celtar learned to incorporate both styles into both hand-to-hand combat and into his lightsaber combat. As such, Celtar is an expert at identifying openings and at taking advantage of them, as well as being able to prevent being disarmed without difficulty. Celtar is able to be both a bastion of defense, avoiding moving as he works against his opponents, or a moving wave of energy, attacking from multiple sides at once. This knowledge of martial arts allows him to more easily pick up the intricacies associated with Form X. In addition, the communication aspect of combat allows him to understand what his opponents might do and assist him in both lightsaber combat and large scale combat. -
