DISTINGUISHING MARKS: scar tracing across his left eye and tracing down his left cheek.
FORCE SENSITIVE: Yes
STRENGTH: Despite being Echani, his style doesn't focus on his own strength, rather using his opponents strength against them. However he had no trouble slashing through most organic creatures, whether with a light saber or even a vibroblade.
DEXTERITY: Echani are known to be quite the agile fighters, Kouta is no exception. he is able to maneuver around most opponents, though he does start to have trouble with opponents that are significantly more skilled then he is.
CONSTITUTION: While Kouta doesn't get sick easily, he is as mortal as any other of his kind. While not as resilient as a mandalorian, he can still take quite a beating before going down.
INTELLIGENCE: He knows enough about technical skills to get around alone, though he still has a lot more to learn.
WISDOM: His control over the force does not much exceed his ability to manipulate his weapons during a battle, which he focused the bulk of his time to learn.

Pyrokinesis
Electric Judgement (reletively weak, learning it)
Mind Trick

SKILLS:

Living on his own he became good with lockpicking and most forms of computer hacking, though he is far from perfect in either of them.
LIGHTSABER/SWORD FORMS:
Given his skill with dual blades, Kouta took it to an even higher level. Thanks to his years training with the edi order, Kouta Developed his own style that encompass the use of two twin bladed lightsabers.
(NOT APPLICABLE UNTIL JEDI KNIGHT RANK IS ACHIEVED + POSTS MADE TO TRAIN IT)
STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES:
His greatest strength is his skill in the combat arts, being much more skilled in the twin bladed arts then others of his ranking. However, his greatest strength is his greatest weakness.
Being so trained in involved with his twin bladed skill, he has no experience with a single blade, a point to where he's even clumsy with it. This renders him almost completely unable to fight with only one sword, he's rather fight unarmed then only with a single.

Two echani vibroswords. a personal survival kit which includes a means to start a fire, and a small utility blade. And a medkit for any injuries.
SHIP:
The one ship he did own was wrecked many years ago. Since then Kouta merely gets around by smuggling himself onto other ship to get where he needs to go.
PETS:
none
PERSONALITY: Kouta is a caretaker. He defends those who cannot defend themselves, like all jedi should. He does not agree on all aspects of the jedi beliefs, however. He believes in just and unjust, not light or dark. While he joined the order, he always acted as a Grey jedi, acting on reasons he sees as just, whether they are considered light or dark by others.
He is generally kind to all, though can completely switch in a moment if he witnesses something that sets him off. He can’t stand the mistreatment of women above all, it being the easiest thing to set him off.
BIOGRAPHY:
Kouta Fled from home when he was young, in an attempt to join the jedi order. However, for reasons he was unaware of at the time, they would not admit him into the order. Feeling dejected, he simply left, forcing to live on his own and the occasional help of others, he learned to survive on the land. He spent the next few years traveling from planet to planed, finally stopping on Nar Shadaa. When he landed, he was discovered by the crew of the ship he was stowing away on. Now Kouta knew about nar Shadaa, and he knew what was probably going to happen, and there was nothing he could do about it. Being sold to slavers by the crew, he found himself in a torture room to be “broken”. Days were there, days of gruesome torture but he did not break. He was whipped far more times he could count, the scars still remained. After about a week, they finally gave up, shipping him to a larger facility, where the professionals performed their “Magics.” By which he later found that rogue dark jedi were the ringleaders of the slave trade.
During his time in captivity he met another, another youngling trapped in the same predicament he was. Except that the other youngling was a girl, only a year younger then he was. When he came upon her, she was raped and beaten, a shivering lump of flesh curled up in the corner of the cell they threw him in. When Kouta tried to near her, she franticly backed away, pressing her small, frail, frame against the jagged stone and metal walls. More times than not the walls ended up cutting into her skin. Every day he told her that it was ok, that he would not hurt her. But every day they took her. Every day he fought them. Every day he was brutally beaten. But he didn’t care, he didn’t know why, but he’s fight till his last breath for her. This continued for about two weeks, until she just didn’t come back. Kouta didn’t know what to do. The one he fought so hard for was just ripped away from him. The next 6 weeks we’re a blur for him. It was finally his turn. Two guards stepped into his cell both grabbing an arm to drag his limp, finally broken, body out. However, when the guards stepped out of the cell, both of them fell limp. As he looked up, he saw a greenish glow. When his vision cleared he could make out a figure of a man standing over him, a long glowing green blade at his side. That man took Kouta, tending his wounds. In time, he passed his knowledge onto Kouta, teaching him the basics of the force. Kouta learned quickly, adapting what he has learned into his own styles. He owes his life to this jedi, who calmed the swirling tides of anger in his body, who trained him in the ways of the force, who even allowed him to construct a set of lightsabers of his very own. Finally, at the age of 22, he set off on his own, back to Alderaan.
He needed…An official training… He needed a master to continue where his friend left off.
Kouta, who nearly gave up all hope, found a home on the Jedi planet of tython. HE stumbled upon a young jedi knight, one who was to become his master, Haven Magnus. She was strong, wise, yet a little lazy. Kouta felt she was a perfect match to be his teacher. During his training Kouta learned greatly about himself, and the force, learning that it was not a tool to be manipulated, but the energy that resides in every being in the galaxy. Eventually, he constructed his own sabers, each having a special crystal inside, from a cave he felt was calling to him. The cave, however, held a danger he had never seen, nor came across before. While he was collecting crystals for his saber, Kouta was attacked by a beast of monstrous strength and speed. During this bout, Kouta lost his prized vibro swords, shattered beneath the beast's claws. Retreating, Kouta barely managed to escape. Under Haven's teachings Kouta finished his padawanship, going on a mission with his master shortly afterwards. He hand his master's job was to keep an ambassador safe during their visit there while facilitating a deal to keep their system aligned with the republic. However, when an attack by a nameless assassin split Kouta from the rest of the group, he was forced to take the assassin's life, completing his part of the mission.
Shortly after Kouta's knighthood, he left, drifting the galaxy for some time. In his travels, Kouta met a strange old... man? Kouta wasn't sure what to make of him. He was short and green, with ears that stuck out to the side, he had a pretentious laugh, but was very lighthearted. Above all the wisdom he held kept Kouta amazed for many months. Kouta learned that there are really no limits for the force, and that, using a small amount of his own power as a catalyst, Kouta can create drastic changes in the environment around him. He spent the next four years training that, and his twin blades styles, eventually learning how to bend flame to his will, and being able to simultaneously use all four blades on his sabers. However, for now, Kouta learned the precision he needed to use all four blades is much more easily obtained while using the force to aid him (Valor) Late in his travels, he found himself back in Nar Shadaa, looking for the slave trade, the same one who had him chained many years ago. They we're remnants at this point. Led by a powerful force user. Kouta infiltrated the trade, in an attempt to silently kill the leader. Things did not go to plan, however, as he was discovered by this leader of theirs, and was forced to fight what would be one of the most difficult battles in Kouta's life. For hours they went blow for blow, both of them using their full strength, finally, towards the end of the fight Kouta had his blades knocked from him, his opponent standing over him with his saber at Kouta's throat. He raised his blade, swinging it down at Kouta with all intent to kill, Kouta raising his hands to try and do... something. Arcs of lightning of a tint of blue so bright it almost seemed to be a pure white lept from Kouta's fingertips, consuming the Slave lord, throwing him back. Kouta stared at his hands, which still had sparks of electricity jumping between his fingers. Was this the lightning that darksiders used? he wondered to himself, But he felt no anger, no true negative passion that a Dark Jedi would use to fuel such an ability. He walked over to the slaver, who was twitching from the blow, unable to stand, "It seems the force has judged you" Kouta commented, Unleashing the blast of lightning into the man's heart.
For weeks later, Kouta tried to use this ability, trying to learn how he did what he did. However he could not. It was not until after a year of training did he begin to unlock the secrets of it, being able to use it more and more regularly. however, it still hasn't quite reached the power of when he first accidentally used it.
After four years, all his training, all that he learned, Kouta found out one thing he was blinded to for so long. He needed a home, and he had one. Traversing back to Tython, HE pleaded for his position back, trying to convince the council that his loyalties remained with the order, and they did. After long Debate, Kouta's knighthood was re granted to him, Kouta ready to take one a student of his own...
