INTELLIGENCE: The Wookiee holds an average intelligence.
WISDOM: He does not hold much in the area of wisdom.
CHARISMA: And the Wookiee does not hold much refinement when it comes to influencing others. It all depends.

PERSONALITY:
There is confusion, there is anger and there is a desire to change and control.

Gwaktoch is a person who holds a passion, a deep passion for the order that he is in. He believes heavily in their values, their beliefs, it is central to him a want to keep to the code. But, that code is all speculation and Gwaktoch finds only confusion in this speculation, living by the Jedi code is a difficulty to him, the words only bring confusion.

But the passion for the order is there. And with that passion comes an anger, a burning anger against the order's enemies, another desire, one where he wishes to bring these enemies to justice, drag them into the light.

Such a radical anger, that has been a thing that Gwaktoch has always tried to control, to keep down. There is no emotion, there is peace. Why is peace so hard to find within? Gwaktoch has no answers, but the anger has stayed, though it remains quiet within Gwaktoch.. he must keep to peace, keep to justice, so he can hold to the values he so loves.

The Wookiee always holds to a facade, he keeps a calm demeanor, even an overall joyful one, which, the joy often times is not as faked as the Wookiee's calmness is. There is also quite a bit of excitement in him, towards most things.

He keeps hidden an overall nasty side to himself. One that mirrors his old Master very well. Critical, apathatic, aggressive. There is much that could describe the Wookiee, and much of it he needs to hide. He does not have a long fuse, however, and the facade is prone to breaking, in which case he easily becomes a vastly different person to what people are used to.

But it is never long before he goes back to hiding.

BIOGRAPHY:
Gwaktoch did not know the parents for which he can owe his birth. He has no awareness nor care for where he came from. The child's force sensitivity was discovered before any chance of memory was attainable, and at that time was when the Wookiee's life as a Jedi began.

He went through the stages from the beginning, held his first training saber at a young age, taught in the speech of his people, and taught to understand Galactic basic. His childhood was the Jedi order, and eventually he was handed over to another Jedi as a Padawan.

Gwaktoch's master was a Human female, of her later thirties, she always seemed to have this scowl, almost as if her face froze in such an expression. The Wookiee was steamrolled into an impersonal relationship with her, she was academic in her teaching and scarcely forgiving to mistakes. Gwaktoch was forced to learn quickly under her, and he did his best.

Freetime was few and far between at this stage of the Wookiee's life. But when there was free time, Gwaktoch usually spent it with one other person, a Rodian male by the name of Zigwi, he had a year seniority to the Wookiee. This Rodian was Gwaktoch's best friend, and the two were fortunate to have had as much time to talk together as they could.

The training continued, and the friendship continued. Until something changed.. Zigwi started to act differently around Gwaktoch, it was not something the Wookiee could understand, he wouldn't hold his gaze, he'd be less talkative in conversations, it was not long before Gwaktoch asked about this development.

And Zigwi gingerly confessed love to the Wookiee, in a flowery and poetic manner. The talk was not something that Gwaktoch would forget, ever.

And at the time he accepted the Rodian's confession, with the speaking of words relating to his own mutual feelings for the Rodian. At the beginning there was no secrets, the relationship was public, easy to notice. But, the publicity ended up being a problem for the two, in the end.

As another thing that wasn't hard to notice was the lack of emotional restraint in Gwaktoch. And the council noticed it the most. Next came a suggestion for the two to liquidate their relations with each other. But, of course, the Padawan's did not listen.

And later, it became a direct order to end their relationship.

But they did not do such a thing, they only altered their relationship. Morphing it into a secret one, they met more often in private then they did publicly. Their intimacy towards each other only grew stronger, as those meetings were not an occurence that came often. But the secret was well kept, with not much suspicions from others.

And there were little changes in his training with his Master, Gwaktoch simply kept progressing, with a giddiness that he had not felt in his entire life. It was a time where a single question reigned in his mind, how could such delving into his emotion be bad for him? Why would they forbid it from him, when it felt so elating? So perfect?

It did not last, the good feelings ended up into sour, pained feelings, when Zigwi ended up as a Knight. And the Rodian came to Gwaktoch, speaking words of how "unsafe" their relationship was. But, Gwaktoch did not hear him, he did not understand. And verbally, he lashed out. For all he heard was the influence of the council. And he felt that there was no more care from his love, those feelings were now, indeed, liquidated in him, or so Gwaktoch felt.

And the idea was only further enforced as the Rodian ended up walking away. And he left a bitter, burning anger in Gwaktoch. One that pestered.

The pain lasted, it did not go away as Gwaktoch's life continued. And his anger festered, in Zigwi, the council.. It lasted. But, he continued on the Jedi path, pretending nothing was wrong. And he finally crafted his saber.

And he received a crystal that gave his blade a crimson coloration.. that is the crystal that chose him, through all the passion, the anger. It must have known. And that was why it chose him.

There was scrutiny from some Jedi because of this, including Gwaktoch's master, those who saw the color and saw what was behind it.. maybe they were correct in what they said. But in the end, Gwaktoch kept progressing, and eventually he made it to knighthood.

Through making everyone believe that nothing was wrong, that there was no difficulty in following Jedi ideal, but through it all, passion burned under the Wookiee's skin. And this passion only surged and grew the moment his padawan braid was cut.

At last...


FORCE POWERS:
Gwaktoch has a large amount of focus towards telepathic ability. Aside from this, the Wookiee's only other focus in the force is augmenting his body physically to fit situations he may find himself in.

SKILLS:
Gwaktoch holds some competance in acting, at least when it comes to holding his emotions in, he does not show much to suggest if he is lying or not, and this proficiency has served him well.

LIGHTSABER/SWORD FORMS:
Gwaktoch did attain a knowledge of Shii choo, and has fallen back on it often when a change in tatics has been needed. But more often then not, the Wookiee has used Djem So in combat.

STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES:
The Wookiee is not very easily swayed from his central beliefs, and has been unwavering in acting on these beliefs. He holds a large amount of apathy towards people in opposition against him, and he can act very systematically against these people, without much emotional restraint.

He is, however, largely susceptible to provoking. And as much as the Wookiee tries to keep anger to himself, sometimes it pokes out of it's shell, and this has been detrimental at times.

Gwaktoch also has trouble in drawing a line in regards to his actions,

GEAR:
Personal Translator

A device applied to the back of the Wookiee's neck, in the shape of a box. It brings his intended speech and tone to Basic fluently. Aside from his lightsaber, it is his most prized position.

His Lightsaber
The design of his weapon is not much to behold or marvel at. Plain, uninteresting, and single bladed. The only thing that makes it stand out (Purely around Jedi) is the crimson color of the blade.

Clothing
A faded brown tunic, with no sleeves and loose, baggy trousers of the same color. That is all he wears. The back of the tunic does have a hood, though, the Wookiee does not lift it very often.

<--OPTIONAL CONTENT-->


SHIP:
Gwaktoch does not have a personal ship.

KILLS:
He has yet to kill anyone.

ROLE-PLAYS:
None, yet.​

*claps* This is probably one of the most perfect Jedi profiles I've seen in a while. That being said, there's still a few things.

In this timeline, Jedi love is not forbidden. I see that that concept is central to your character, and there may be some ways to work around it. Maybe the Council sensing anger in him told him it would be best not to have a relationship?

Also, I'm not entirely sure on this, but I believe the age should be upped a bit since he's a Wookiee. But then again I don't know that much about Wookiees.

That's it! All in all, this was a very good read, absolutely loved him!

Ah, thank you! I wasn't sure how well I might have written the Character, I'd actually expected much less of a positive opinion.

But, I had noticed that Jedi are not forbidden to love, yesterday even. But this character was written right before Dotr launched. And I had been thinking on a way to change it, but your idea works perfectly, I think.

As for the age, I'm not certain. But, I think that age works just fine for now.

Sounds good. I'm assuming you did change it yet? If you didn't I'll be looking forward to reading again!

Ah yes. Much better. Personally, I like this story a lot better. I don't see much else to critique on! Now you just have to wait for someone in the leadership to approve him.
