Name: Bobbec Vantai
Race: Human
Age: 16
Height: 5'7''
Weight: 165lbs
Appearance: Bobbec is rather average looking by most respects. Starting from the head down his hair is a vibrant red. Like most padawans, from races capable of growing hair, Bobbec keeps his hair short and neat. The only exception to this is the long braid that he has fashioned that hangs down over his left shoulder. The braid is very simple and is held together by a small piece of black cloth around the bottom.Bobbec’s eye brows are also a vibrant red. Both of his eye brows could be described as bushy, large or simply big.
The only real distinguishing feature are his eyes. His left eye is a simple brown colour while his right eye is a more colourful, emerald, green. His nose is slightly smaller than the average for a young man his age, it has a slight upturn at the end. Under his nose are his lips. They are thin and a dull red. His teeth are perfectly white. His ears are larger, though not by much, that the other padawans. From time to time he gets red spots, generally along the bridge of his nose, and his cheeks.
His shoulders are broad, he is actually broader than many men he knows, and he is slightly below average height. He is physically in good condition, due to his Jedi training, but other Jedi his age are more physically fit due to Bobbec’s focus on the physical aspects of the force. On his left shoulder he has a small birthmark. The mark has five points, similar to a child’s drawing of a star. Like most Jedi he wears simple clothes. He prefers the grey to the brown robes so he is usually seen wearing one. He has a simple, black, belt where he clips his lightsaber into. He also wears simple boots.
Personality: Bobbec is best known for being highly intelligent. He loves antiquities, science (especially science), engineering and just about anything that peeks his interest. Bobbec is often seen around the Jedi Library, and he has often looked into becoming a Jedi Scholar in the future. However the mysteries of the force interest him above all else.
However this is more for his own protection than other’s as people who know him understand he has a deep respect for the Jedi code. Bobbec feels that rules are there for a reason and should be followed, to the letter. He also has immense respect for more experienced Jedi and he enjoys learning from them. However he generally respects others anyway.
Bobbec prefers not to mix with too many people. He is an introverted person who prefers to keep himself to himself. Meditating, training or reading is what he is usually found doing. However he is a good friend and is a good giver of advice. Bobbec is loyal to his friends, his master and above all else the Order. Being a Jedi means everything to him, it is all he knows, and he has dedicated his life to it. As the Jedi Code means everything to him missing his family is rather confusing to him.
He joined the order just after his 5th birthday. By then he had already formed close bonds with his family, especially his elder sister, and he still misses her today. However he feels incredibly bad as he has forgotten what she used to look like, except she had long red hair. He has never told anyone about this. Bobbec enjoys the outdoors. He loves nature, animals and plants. His favourite weather is the rain, especially thunderstorms, there is little more than he enjoys than standing out doors and being drenched in the tain.
Bobbec abhors violence in all of it’s forms. Including the slaughter of animals for meat, hence his vegetarianism, like all Jedi he has learned to use a Lightsaber. However using force is always a last resort, and even then he prefers to use the force instead of weapons. Not many 16 year olds have killed another sentient being but Bobbec has before. He has only ever done so in self-defemce but it still makes him ill when he thinks about it.
Although he prefers to work alone or in a small group, preferably a pair, he can work as a team when called for. Due to his rank he has rarely been the most senior person in a situation. On the handful of occasions it has happened Bobbec simply does what he thinks best. He is able to analyse a situation quickly and come up with a number of possible paths to take. Bobbec is a very logical person who can put his emotions aside to get a job done. Due to this he is usually very slow to anger. Most insults simply brush off him, well virtually all of them. However an insult from someone whose view he respects (Eg: His master) would hurt him deeply/ He can appear rather stoic when someone meets him for the first time. Some even say cold.
Bobbec doesn’t hold grudges often and he prefers to forgive and forget. However he is generally good at reading people and he won’t accept an apology unless he feels it is genuine. He is able to see two points to an argument and shows the potential to become a skilled diplomat in the future.

Bio:
Youngling
Bobbec was born on the planet of Naboo. A beautiful world that his ancestors had lived on for centuries. Bobbec’s father, also called Bobbec, was a farmer. It was not work that had high status in society but he was proud of it; mainly because it was honest work. When Bobbec w\as born his mother helped around the farm, but mainly looked after the house and the children, she latter got a job in Theed though. Bobbec was born five years, almost six, after his elder sister Jorcae. Bobbec doted on his sister, he hung on her every word and they became, despite the large age gap, friends.
He spent the majority of his early life outside on the farm. He helped to feed the animals, look after the plants and generally spend time in the fields. His parents wanted him to understand the world. They encouraged him to read a wide array of books to find what he was interested in. Books on galactic history and on chemistry interested him the most. He became fascinated by what made simple things happen. Why, when his mother added milk, did her tea turn white? Why could you smell his mother’s signature dish if he was upstairs?
Many future Jedi show enhanced reflexes and Bobbec was no different. It was not very noticeable; if he was thrown a ball most wouldn’t be able to reach he would catch it with relative ease. However no one suspected he was a force sensitive and his father wanted him to take over the family farm. However his mother felt that he should be allowed to do what he wanted and there was a large argument between the two. Bobbec thought it was his fault that they were fighting and it was his sister who comforted him.
He was 3 when he was given his first pet as a present. The animal was a bright green bird that he cherished. Within a week or so he had trained the animal to come to him when he called and to sit on his shoulder. He was very determined and he intended to keep the animal for it’s entire lifespan, over 20 years, he wanted to teach it to talk and even sing. He had given the animal as he had fallen in love with his sister’s. She had also taught her younger brother how to look after them.
Bobecc became very protective of his older sister, When he was four years old his sister, now almost 10, was the victim of a very large bully. Bobbec witnessed it and ran into the bully from behind and knocking the bully to the ground. However his early success was short lived and the bully soon was back up. With one punch to the stomach Bobbec curled to the floor. However he got back up, determined to do what he could to help his sister, but a second punch, this time to his head, knocked him unconscious.
Bobbec woke up in a medical centre. He was fine, the only visible damage was a cut to his forehead, which soon cleared up. However there were some signs of possible concussion and he stayed inside for a few days. A standard medical test saw that he had a high level of midi-chlorians in his blood. A message was sent to the Jedi Council. They then alerted a nearby Jedi who went to visit them.
He told his parents that he wanted to take him to Courscant. They asked for some time and the Jedi said he would be in the area for five days. So they went home and began to discuss it. Bobbec was split. He loved his family and he wanted to live with them. But he also had read countless books about adventures of Jedi Knights, he would learn to use the force and have access to the greatest font of wisdom in the Galaxy. His parents made it clear it was his decision/ And, on the third day, he decided to stay.
However it was his sister who changed his mind. She took him for a walk on the farm and she told him that she loved him, and always would, but he should go and become a Jedi
So Bobbec thought about it and decided to go. He let with the Jedi Knight to Coruscant.
Before he even entered the temple he was hit with awe. He had lived on a small farm in the middle of nowhere. Then he landed on a city, the size of an entire planet! It was awe inspiring but he didn’t like it. There were too many people and there was no grass anywhere! It was also the first time he had seen an alien. A Cerean male, a Senator’s aide, walked past and Bobbec, forgetting his manners, stared at the Cerean. Bothans, Cathar and Dugs were all present. And Bobbec stayed very close to the Jedi Knight.
From the ages of 5 to 11 Bobbec was a Youngling. For the first in his life he was no longer with his family. It was not an easy time in his young life. However he knew that his mother, father and sister would want him to throw himself into his new life so he did. He listened intently to the Masters who taught the Younglings the very basics of what it meant to be a Jedi. He asked countless questions about all things but the Jedi Archivists were the people who he talked to most.
He didn’t mix well with the other Younglings. He wasn’t abrasive but he just didn’t enjoy mixing with new people too much. However there were a few other Younglings that had the same problem began to stick together and he made a few friends at an early age. He enjoyed studying under the different masters. He liked the variety of subjects that they learned about but, like many younglings, it was the force that interested him the most.
He had an innate ability to do things that, on the surface, seem impossible. And he wanted to know how and why. As he learned more about the force he didn't want to stop. It fascinated him. But he also liked learning about other species and cultures in the galaxy. Especially the cultures of those non-humans who were in his year.
Bobbec made one very very good friend during those early years. A female human called Tara. The two shared a love of reading and learning. They also shared a curiosity about cultures and histories of alien species. The part he disliked the most, which was the opposite with most of the boys, was the sparring. He was never skilled and he was usually beaten in purely physical contests.
Padawan Years (11-16)
His training began the next day. At first he was taught about sensing things with his mind. It was a skill that he enjoyed and it soon became apparent that it would be skills to do with the non-physical that he would exceed in. He was also trained physically. He became more physically fit, his stamina and strength improved. He started to meditate daily and he loved it. He was able to clear his mind and focus. It helped him control his emotions, especially his feelings to do with his family.
Master Norak Hanran was around 35, and a Human male. He was primarily a consular, and had a vast knowledge of history and culture.
If he couldn’t figure out how to work something he would go and meditate for an hour or two.
The first mission between Jedi and Padawan was a diplomatic meeting. The Jedi was being sent as a representative to a non-Republic world to start the process of joining the Galactic Republic. For Bobecc it was the best mission he could possibly have. He enjoyed reading about politics and on the way to the world he split his time between reading about diplomacy and meditation.
They arrived in the capital city of the world.
It was stunningly beautiful and reminded him of Naboo. It brought back a flood of powerful emotions that he found unwelcoming. However he was very happy to keep going. They met with the Head of Government and began to discuss the world’s history and technological level.
They had only just developed hyper drive flight, hence the offer to join the Republic. Their mission was two fold: Determine if the world met the criteria to join the Republic and then to start the proverbial ball rolling. They spent two weeks on the world and he spent a lot of his spare time reading books by the planets prime Historians and Scientists.
The mission, though less eventful than many first missions, was both a success and enjoyable.
His first taste of combat was unexpected. They were escorting a Senator from one system to another. The ship was very simple, had no identifying marks or features. So when pirates saw the seemingly undefended ship they attacked. They penetrated the hull and were inside the ship. The two Jedi, knight and padawan, decided to separate. The Knight left with just over half of the guards while the padawan accompanied the rest of the guards to escort the Senator to the nearest shuttle and get her to safety. It was an exhilarating time and he did as he was told.
He ignited his saber and led the way to the Shuttle bay. He expected to have a clear path to the bay but two of the pirates shot at them. He was able to deflect the bolts and then threw both of them backwards with the force. The padawan and the Senator then left the bay.
Bobbec and his master were heading to a planet for a simple training mission when they spotted a battle going on. It was between a medium sized Republican ship a large pirate vessel. It seemed like a desperate situation, with the Republican ship in a dire state when they arrived. They contacted the Republican captain and offered their assistance. They were asked to get to assault the pirate ship on it's port side as Republican commandos had already arrived there.
One of them, in his early 20s, was about to overload the ships engines and cause a meltdown. He used the force to quicken his pace and killed him. It was over in a second. One moment he was there the next he was dead. However he was in the middle of a war zone and it didn’t register at first. He continued to battle his way to the bridge, killing two more men in the process.
He was thanked and congratulated but all he could force himself to do was nod and murmour thanks. When he was asleep, latter that night, he was haunted by the faces of those men he had killed.
The mission he was most looking forward to occurred when he was 15. He was to make his own lightsaber.They traveled to Illum and found a cave with countless crystals. He found a place to sit and began to meditate. He took a bright green crystal to Coruscant. He spent a month building the lightsaber. It was painstaking work but worth it.
His master had fallen in love three years after taking Bobbec as his padawan. He loved the woman and waited until Bobbec was 16, and all enough to understand, before he left to be with his new wife. Bobbec was happy for him, however he was totally committed to the Jedi way of life, he has no intention to start a family. His aims in the future are to become a Knight and train his own student.
RP Sample:
Bobbec drew his lightsaber and pressed the small red button. A second later a bright green light erupted from the hilt for just over a meter. He exhaled deeply and blinked, ‘’Activate training programme,’’ two droids, in the shape of circular balls. They had a flashing red light strip running through the centre.
Without warning a red blaster bolt, though only enough to cause a slight burn, was shot towards him. He could of attempted to deflect the bolt but he just jumped to the left, avoiding the bolt. He then fell to the floor, avoiding the second bolt.The second round was about to activate so he moved back to the starting position.
Bobbec was not enjoying this situation. He had been forbidden to use the force at all in this test. He understood why, his lightsaber skills were below par. He also knew that it was a dangerous time to be a Jedi . He had not yet crossed blades with a Sith or a Dark Jedi and he knew that force abilities alone would not keep him alive. He also knew, that one day, he would cross blades, and if he wasn’t good enough, he would be slaughtered. So he had decided to forego his scholarly pursuits in favour of honing his sword skills. Bobbec had not yet begun to learn any of the more specialized saber forms, and he had always doubted he would go beyond Shii-cho, however, as he stood there, he was seriously thinking about Soresu. However it was not the time, or place.
Three bolts were shot simultaneously at him.
Two were being shot to his upper torso. He spun to the left and the first bolt missed him, hitting the wall, however the second one hit his shoulder , “Ahhh,’’ he cringed .The third bolt hit his upper arm, cutting through his grey Jedi robes and singing his skin. He cringed and felt anger and annoyance bubbling inside him.
He ran forwards, his saber in hand, he lifted it upwards as he got close to the training droid and hit it, cutting it in half. He spun around to face the second droid. However it shot him in the chest before he could do anything to defend himself.
He turned off his lightsaber, while taking a second deep breath, andsat onto the floor. He crossed his legs over one another and rested his hands on his legs. He closed his eyes and angled his head downwards. He slowed his breathing and found the place within him with a connection to the force. He was virtually comatose when he heard the doors open. He sensed an unfamiliar Jedi enter the room. With his eyes still closed he stood up and turned to face the Jedi. As he opened his eyes he saw a Cerean, it was hard to guess a Cerean male’s age, but he would say he was in his 50s.
‘’Hello master. Is there anything I may help you with?’’ he asked with a bow to show his respect for the more senior Jedi.
The Cerean took half a second or so to respond, ‘’No, padawan. No I don’t. I would like to congratulate you on keeping your composure.’’
Bobbec smiled. He worked hard to control his emotions and he was happy someone saw it, ‘’Thank you master. I intend to go to the archives, sir, so please excuse me.’’ Bobbec believed the master would have no reason to enter the room unless he was planning on using it, so he wanted to excuse himself before he was asked. Bobbec bowed once more as he left the room and began to walk through the Jedi temple. Bobbec passed numerous Jedi. Some, the majority, were Human.
It was natural as Humans were the dominant species in the Galaxy, they were spread across almost every star system and most human planets had no reason to hate the Order. He placed his hand over the cut in his Robes. He was very serious about the rules of the Order.

It seemed like a desperate situation, with the Republican ship in a dire state when they arrived. They contacted the Republican captain and offered their assistance. They were asked to get to assault the pirate ship on it's port side as Republican commandos had already arrived there.
One of them, in his early 20s, was about to overload the ships engines and cause a meltdown. He used the force to quicken his pace and killed him. It was over in a second. One moment he was there the next he was dead. However he was in the middle of a war zone and it didn’t register at first. He continued to battle his way to the bridge, killing two more men in the process.
He was thanked and congratulated but all he could force himself to do was nod and murmour thanks. When he was asleep, latter that night, he was haunted by the faces of those men he had killed.
The mission he was most looking forward to occurred when he was 15. He was to make his own lightsaber.They traveled to Illum and found a cave with countless crystals. He found a place to sit and began to meditate. He took a bright green crystal to Coruscant. He spent a month building the lightsaber. It was painstaking work but worth it.
His master had fallen in love three years after taking Bobbec as his padawan. He loved the woman and waited until Bobbec was 16, and all enough to understand, before he left to be with his new wife. Bobbec was happy for him, however he was totally committed to the Jedi way of life, he has no intention to start a family. His aims in the future are to become a Knight and train his own student.
RP Sample:
Bobbec drew his lightsaber and pressed the small red button. A second later a bright green light erupted from the hilt for just over a meter. He exhaled deeply and blinked, ‘’Activate training programme,’’ two droids, in the shape of circular balls. They had a flashing red light strip running through the centre.
Without warning a red blaster bolt, though only enough to cause a slight burn, was shot towards him. He could of attempted to deflect the bolt but he just jumped to the left, avoiding the bolt. He then fell to the floor, avoiding the second bolt.The second round was about to activate so he moved back to the starting position.
Bobbec was not enjoying this situation. He had been forbidden to use the force at all in this test. He understood why, his lightsaber skills were below par. He also knew that it was a dangerous time to be a Jedi . He had not yet crossed blades with a Sith or a Dark Jedi and he knew that force abilities alone would not keep him alive. He also knew, that one day, he would cross blades, and if he wasn’t good enough, he would be slaughtered. So he had decided to forego his scholarly pursuits in favour of honing his sword skills. Bobbec had not yet begun to learn any of the more specialized saber forms, and he had always doubted he would go beyond Shii-cho, however, as he stood there, he was seriously thinking about Soresu. However it was not the time, or place.
Three bolts were shot simultaneously at him.
Two were being shot to his upper torso. He spun to the left and the first bolt missed him, hitting the wall, however the second one hit his shoulder , “Ahhh,’’ he cringed .The third bolt hit his upper arm, cutting through his grey Jedi robes and singing his skin. He cringed and felt anger and annoyance bubbling inside him.
He ran forwards, his saber in hand, he lifted it upwards as he got close to the training droid and hit it, cutting it in half. He spun around to face the second droid. However it shot him in the chest before he could do anything to defend himself.
He turned off his lightsaber, while taking a second deep breath, andsat onto the floor. He crossed his legs over one another and rested his hands on his legs. He closed his eyes and angled his head downwards. He slowed his breathing and found the place within him with a connection to the force. He was virtually comatose when he heard the doors open. He sensed an unfamiliar Jedi enter the room. With his eyes still closed he stood up and turned to face the Jedi. As he opened his eyes he saw a Cerean, it was hard to guess a Cerean male’s age, but he would say he was in his 50s.
‘’Hello master. Is there anything I may help you with?’’ he asked with a bow to show his respect for the more senior Jedi.
The Cerean took half a second or so to respond, ‘’No, padawan. No I don’t. I would like to congratulate you on keeping your composure.’’
Bobbec smiled. He worked hard to control his emotions and he was happy someone saw it, ‘’Thank you master. I intend to go to the archives, sir, so please excuse me.’’ Bobbec believed the master would have no reason to enter the room unless he was planning on using it, so he wanted to excuse himself before he was asked. Bobbec bowed once more as he left the room and began to walk through the Jedi temple. Bobbec passed numerous Jedi. Some, the majority, were Human.
It was natural as Humans were the dominant species in the Galaxy, they were spread across almost every star system and most human planets had no reason to hate the Order. He placed his hand over the cut in his Robes. He was very serious about the rules of the Order.
