Biography
Tarni grew up on the streets of Nar Shaddaa alongside his friend, a female Togruta named Zola Sen. They managed to keep mostly out of trouble thanks to a few (relatively) kind members of the underworld and Tarni’s ability to sense trouble approaching (not that they knew why he could at that point). Neither of them were entirely sure how they’d ended up there.

The closest thing to an answer for this question came from Shin Ponch, a female Harch who ran a small pocket picking business, the Silent Daggers, on the lowest levels, composed of children she’d helped when they ended up near her. Apparently, she found them about a hundred metres below a large docking bay, with nothing much around them.

At the age of ten, after being members of the gang for about six years, Tarni and Zola had become quite an impressive sight to the younger pickpockets. Their success was generally attributed to their experience, although Tarni’s slowly-developing Force powers likely played a role in gaining this status. One day, he and Zola were playing about in the streets when members of an opposing gang, the Sarls, attempted to kidnap them. Tarni got away, but Zola was taken, and he resolved to go after her.

Arriving in the headquarters, Tarni began to use his small size to his advantage and snuck in carefully, until he eventually arrived at a door that seemed to him to be the way to the cells. He walked up to the guard, nervous, and attempted to use a mind trick on her,, something he’d only realised he could do recently and he wasn’t all that confident in. The guard turned out to be an undercover Jedi, gone in to rescue her Padawan. She naturally was unaffected by the mind trick, but felt the use of the Force and explained to Tarni who he was. She agreed to help him find Zola, and said that she could come with them to a “better place” as she put it, although she did mention that he may not be able to see as much of her when there.

But Zola wasn’t there. She had somehow escaped, or been moved, and no matter how much Tarni searched alongside the Jedi (and her Padawan, once they rescued him), she was nowhere to be found. Tarni checked everywhere for her, all their usual haunts, for the next twelve hours, until the Jedi announced that she had to leave. Reluctantly, and leaving a message with Ponch, Tarni left Nar Shaddaa for the first time in his memory.

Tarni became an Initiate and began to study. In some areas, such as precognition, living on the streets had helped him out. But on the whole, he was a completely untrained Jedi, and began to be taught from scratch alongside the youngest pupils. Awed by this new galaxy he’d entered, he began to become interested in the history of various worlds, and began to look at folklore, holocrons and historical records. His language changed. He became more disciplined. Tarni reinvented himself into a Jedi, and a fairly skilled one at that, although due to his age he found it harder to make friends amongst the other initiates.

At the age of 15, Tarni received word that the council had decided that he had studied enough. At a relatively old age, due to his late training, he was to become a Padawan. The council sent out word to Knights in search of a pupil, and Tarni excitedly awaited the day he would finally be travelling the galaxy.
Personality
Tarni is a very cheerful, friendly presence in a room. He’s also an avid reader, spending time on databases or reading old books to discover new information. When he’s in a conversation, though, he’ll talk away with pleasure - sometimes to the point of annoying those around him. He often tells some of his countless folk tales and other such stories that he’ll happily relate for a long while, even to people he barely knows. This can make him a bit self-centred, without much regard for others attempting conversation, preferring to talk on and on. However, he is aware of this, and trying to pay more attention to others (particularly now he’s getting a master).
Skills
Tarni speaks Basic, Mikkian, Huttese and smatterings of Harchic. He is highly skilled at using the Force to sense the immediate future, anticipating events before they happen. He likewise has skills at looking into the more distant future, although he’s not as good at this. On top of this, he has some basic ability in moving objects and manipulating minds, and is attempting (rather unsuccessfully) to learn psychometry. He also has particular skill in lightsaber combat: having gained a fast understanding of the basics of Shii-Cho at the start of his youngling training, he has begun to look into Makashi and Ataru techniques to develop his skill with the blade. His time on Nar Shaddaa gave him skills at assembling and disassembling tech, as well as pickpocketing (although he doesn’t tend to mention that to fellow Jedi much).

On the other hand, he has only rudimentary skills in flying ships, and hopes to develop his talent in that field over his time as a Padawan. He also has hopeless aim; if forced to use a blaster rather than a saber, he will miss his target nine times out of ten. Finally, despite his theoretical knowledge of galactic geography and culture from his time in the library, he has no practical experience and bases his knowledge of worlds beyond Nar Shaddaa those mostly controlled by the order on the (often inaccurate) details he read there.
Appearance
Tarni has green eyes which contrast with his purple skin, and a twisting spiral of head-tendrils, the tips of which fade slightly into a metallic golden sheen. He has a silver tattoo of the Jedi symbol on his forehead. Attached to one of his tendrils is a string of thirty beads: his “Padawan braid” he made after he was informed of the council’s decision to find him a master. The first bead from the top is coloured gold, the second purple, the third blue, the fourth white, the fifth silver, and the rest white.
Relationships
Zola Sen, Female Togruta: A childhood friend who Tarni lost track of five years ago. They were very close, but he’s not sure how they’d get on now, much as he’d like to see her again.

Shin Ponch, Female Harch: The closest thing to a parent Tarni ever had, although their relationship was much more formal than a true loving bond. This was partly due to the large number of children in her ‘care’, but mostly because she mainly saw him and the others as a means to get credits, nothing more.

You have their friends/relations listed under equipment. A typo I think.

A couple of notes:

The whole 'about to become a Padawan thing' is built on the suggestion someone made on my introduction thread, in that I plan to find a player to act as my Master. Let me know if that's not OK.

On top of that, I couldn't really find any character portraits that fit, bar one Instagram post which a) I couldn't download with good quality and b) was an already-established OC of the poster who I didn't want to steal, so I haven't included one. If that's essential, sorry. If anyone has any ideas on where to find a male purple Mikkian, do say.

Sorry if I've done anything wrong, I'm new to this.

Hi there,
TWD26 here resident Jedi, and Jedi Master. You can be a member of our order perfectly fine, things are a bit slow right now, but I can help you find a master. I could help make you a picture, just give me some time. :)

The first one’s probably close enough, although if it’s the same image I tried the quality won’t be great. Thanks, I’ll add it in when I get access to a computer.
It's surprisingly hard to find good pics of them. I'm surprised >_>
