Bio: /1360-1970 AHW/:
The Family with a last name called Irawagbon boarded a cruiser to that them to the Great capital of the Republic. A husband and his pregnant wife, the husband was a dark haired man that had an air of royalty around him. He stood tall next to his miserable wife that was in terrible pain due to her pregnancy. All her joints hurt and sometimes she would feel little ruptures on the place were the child should be. The house maidens of the family had thought that the girl inside her mother had a demon inside of her that fed of the mother’s life force.
Inside the luxery ridden cruiser they went to corusant, seeking aid of the jedi in the temple to help them get rid of this demon that was harvesting inside the woman’s stomach. Ofcourse when they reached the temple the guards laughed for a moment until they saw the faces of the jedi, naturally the jedi saw what was really happening. They offered her to stay until childbirth and then decide what to do. At Yelona 27th 1360 AHW the mother gave birth to a girl. Although a mother should be happy with a child, this one was happy that it had finally left her body still convinced that the child was cursed. After that the jedi came to realize that this child might actually be special and decided to test her midicholrian level’s. After a quick blood test they came to the conclusion that this kid had more then enough midichlorians inside her to become a jedi and asked the mother if they could keep the kid to train him as one. The mother only gave the child a name she called her Aarati Irawagbon and then explained that she didn’t want the kid, and the jedi could flush her through the toilet as if it didn’t matter to her at all.
With that, the couple lost faith in the jedi thinking they were all madmen and cursed individuals. They quickly left the refugee of the temple and went back to their remote outer rin home planet where ghost stories were believed by everyone. The kid however was left, crying as if she felt that her mom and dad had left her forever. Ofcourse the jedi took good care of her, as she would one day hopefully join the ranks of the jedi knights.
When she was six months old her crying increased much, her teeth started to appear and that hurt and she cried endlessly After a month or so this was over and she returned to being a calm and peaceful child once again.
At eight months she started to crawl around and grabbing stuff from the ground to examine them and learn what use they had, this ofcourse included only toys and nothing special. She was a very curious kid, what later would come clear when she was able to talk.
Slowly progressing she could walk a little when she was ten months old, still falling down every other ten steps. Gradually she improved her walking skills until she could walk without falling down for hours. This proved she was a fast learner and the caretakers of the temple were very pleased with her improvements.
After fifteen months she slowly started to learn little words. After three months or so she was able to point at various objects in the room and name them by their actual name.
3 years slowly progressed and in that time she learned to speak like a normal human being, Her most used word was; Why? Often making the Minder laugh at her curiosity. When she was four years old she was placed into one of the many groups that learned the younglings to slowly develop their skills. Starting with basic lightsaber skills in form one, in trainings how to deflect blaster bolts and other basic stuff like overall maps of the galaxy and little info about the demographics.
She was a very bright student,that always showed interest in every class trying to get on top of everything. This only failed at a class about hyperspace because she couldn’t really understand what was said. She also mistook the Jedi code, refraining her from making many friends. She thought that making friends automatically meant bonding. Which it ofcourse didn’t. Overall her teachers were quite happy with her, seeing her as a little inward maybe, but nevertheless a bright student.
It was when she was nine that she was accepted as a padawan by a jedi master named Master Jennii. Master jennii was a female togruta jedi master at the age of 42. She was reknown for being a wise master that often questioned the counsil and contemplated helpful insight. She was a good teacher having only a few flaws, she said that the teachings of old might not always be the best and was constantly looking to renew lessons and force powers. Although she liked what the order stood for she encouraged her padawan to keep thinking for herself too. Being curious as she was this might have not been the best master for Aarati.
Due to the montrals on her masters head, her master was very proficient in lightsaber combat. She often trained together with her student focusing on lightsaber combat. Her student also trained in the same style as she did and tried to become good at the fifth lightsaber form. For this training her padawan used a training lightsaber that was present in the temple. Also a great deal of training was to increase he student’s force talents. It may be noted that Aarati was more proficient in the physical aspect of the force then the others. At the same time as this training she also still attended classes in the temple about the various subjects that were given. Much to increase her proficiency in shii-cho and basic force techniques as well as learning how to fly a starship.
/1370-1980 AHW/:
Until she was thirteen this way of training continued. After that she and her master got their first mission together from the jedi counsel. They were sent to capture a weak pirate that had gone one step to far by attacking a republic vessel in the correlia system. Aarati packed her bag and was excited that she could finally leave the temple for once. Her Childs mind hardly thought about the dangers that this might bring along. When they set out to the nearby planet where the pirate was said to have his home base they had to sleep one night on a transportation vessel leading to that planet. When Aarati was asleep she had a dream, in that dream she saw her older self with a blue bladed lightsaber cutting of the hand of an unarmed woman. It wasn’t like an ordinary dream and when she woke she was afraid and full of doubt. Her master had felt the tremor that the dream have given in the force and asked her what she saw. Thinking it was a vision, she decided to keep what she saw a secret and told her master that she would rather not talk about what she had seen. Her master told her the usual jedi stuff, that she should be aware of her feelings. The only thing Aarati could do was to turn around and fall asleep again.
When they landed on the planet they went out asking people if they knew anything about the pirate that they had to capture. Within a day they heard several accounts say the same place and decided to investigate it. They found the pirate quite easily and arrested him after a short quarrel. Happy that there had not been any grave injuries they took the pirate back to Corusant and reported to the jedi council and reported about their mission. It was deemed a success and they got to rest for a few weeks.
At age fifteen she was taken by her master to the planet of Ilum to Get the required crystals that she would need to construct her own lightsaber. When she entered the cave she could feel the force resonating through the endless crystal caves and she set out to found the crystal that called out to her. After a few hours of walking through the endless shimmering of the crystals around her she found a very delicate blue crystal. Her mind flashed back to the dream she had years ago and recalled that she had used a blue lightsaber in the dream. She sighed and took a few seconds to get her emotions in check. She got out the delicate crystal and started to walk to the open area and the Dais in the middle to make her lightsaber as she had planted it inside the head. It wouldn’t be a new weapon, it would be making a thought come true. While she was building she thought that making a lightsaber was the same as the force to her. Making a mere thought reality. She worked for various months, first shaping the crystals and imbedding them with the force. When she was done with that part of the deep meditation required she went back to the temple to create the other parts that were needed for making a lightsaber and imbedding them with the force. After three months she was finally done with the biggest construction in her life.
The following years she focused on practicing Djem so with her curved lightsaber, giving it an edge in Lightsaber combat. Her master was very pleased with her improvement and liked the idea of her curve hilt lightsaber. It was not unique and had been done before, but still it was something not often seen. They were send to more dangerous missions by the jedi council and that asked for fighting power and skill in the physical aspect of the force. Her master was very proficient with the telepathic aspects of the force and couldn’t really help her much in finding new and exciting techniques in the physical department. This made Aarati spend way more time in the jedi archives as she needed to search for ancient teachings that told her how to do more specialized force moves.
Around the time that she turned eighteen she found something interesting. An old written account of a jedi master around three hundred years ago told about a force push that affected more then only one direction. The name he had given this move was Force wave. With enough training a jedi could learn to gather the force inside her and release it like a shockwave in all directions. She also read in this account that some force repulse users even had enough strength in the force to make deeps cracks in the ground with only one repulse. Exited that she had found something that was along the lines of her talents she searched for a master to teach her this force ability, only after long searching she found one that was prepared to help her, as her own master’s talent lay in other directions.
It took her many months to even gather enough force power to hurl little objects away in all directions. Often having to stop because she was getting mad at herself for not being able to get this move learned quicker. She then had to take a few minutes rest before she even could start to gather enough force power. When she was almost turning twenty she got it right and could gradually start to increase the speed and power of her force repulse. She now often took her practice outside, since she was anxious about breaking things in the temple. She practiced in an open field where she would carry junk towards so she could see how strong her repulse was.
/1380-1983 AHW/:
Aarati had spent quite some time inside the temple now without doing missions or undertaking quests. She was acting like your typical Padawan. Studying in the archives and getting a habit of meditating much while still trying to master the force move that she was most interested in. And since meditating was almost the same as thinking she came across quite some questions that couldn’t be answered by the jedi. She sometimes started to doubt the ways of the jedi council and her master was worrying about her. Often the two talked for long nights, her master herself also had doubts about the council but she wasn’t born with the natural curiosity that Aarati had and decided to cast this doubts aside, thinking that the council would be very aware of what they were doing and that her way’s weren’t always the best way’s. Aarati however strongly disagreed with his and thought that there should be changes and that the light side of the force also should get stronger.
Everyone could feel the darkness clouding over the galaxy, and those attuned to the force could ofcourse feel it more present. The temple was still a beacon of light and hope, but the city of corusant was as always plunged in doubt and angst, this could also be felt by the jedi who were often inside the temple. When Aarati reached the age of 23 her master proposed to the council that Aarati was ready to do the trials that would lead to knighthood.
/Trials/:
The first trial was a mission to the outer rim planet called Nal Hutta, The hutt’s had requested help from the Jedi to solve a problem. The problem was illegal gladiator fights held in hutt territory. The council noted that this could be an example set for the rest of the galaxy and prevent further gladiator fights. Aarati was given this mission. The mission specifics were to infiltrate into the fights and arrest the leader. She had to go undercover so she couldn’t use her lightsaber until she was about to arrest the person behind all this. Also she had to travel along with citizens of the republic.
She set out after a casual ‘’May the force be with you master’’ Directed at her master. She boarded a vessel that went into hutt territories. With enough credits to buy a private vessel if she succeeded. After a few nights she arrived in Nal Hutta and asked around for rumors on these felonies. Surprisingly she didn’t have to search long until she heard rumors about some hutt hosting fights like these and she set out to participate in these fights. She would know who the leader behind this all was as soon as she entered the arena. Before she set out she bought a cheap vessel that looked like it could just bring her back to corusant as a last trip before it would go to a scrapyard since she did not want to waste unnecessary republic credits . Making sure her ship was nearby she acted as if she was a woman who loved money and would risk her life to get it. Quickly she was accepted and announced as the ‘’gracious death’’ on the posters that adorned the walls of the gladiator pit.
Thinking survival was still more important then passing into knighthood she kept her lightsaber on her when she entered the pit. She had an old fashioned meeting with death in her agenda. She was pitted in with various other individuals that liked money and she could see a quite handsome man sit in the seat where the last order would come from, at the end of the fight. She had been distracted a second to long though, just at the last moment her force awareness told her that there was danger and she could just in time deflect a shot from a blaster. She had thought that only melee combat was allowed in the fight, but apparently the crowd had other intentions, these creatures just wanted to see people suffer and die for their amusement. Aarati sighed and leaped high into the air landing on the one who had fired the blaster at her with a kick from above. Making sure that she only rendered him unconscious.
She took the blaster from her foe and made quick work of the others with a few well placed shots from her blaster. After the fight was over and the losers were carried away from the stage, the man who was in charge of this whole operation applauded her victory and asked if she would join him in the afterparty. She accepted, deciding to lay low until there was no one on guard. The aftermath of the mission was quite easy. She only had to use a little of her body to seduce the man, and when he was drunk and almost had no control left in his limbs she used the force to render him unconscious and shackle him. Jumping out of the window she wasn’t held up by the guards that were defending the front door and looking for possible threats. On the way back to corusant however, the man spoke to her a lot, and while she knew that it was against the jedi code, she couldn’t help but like him. In the nine day’s that it took to get to corusant the two build a relationship that passed over the lines of the jedi code. She refrained from doing anything that was absolutely out of the question, but while she was handing him over to the guards when she arrived at corusant the screams of the man were vicious. He shouted that they had done things that jedi shouldn’t do and that they had fallen in love in the short period of time. While this was partially true. Aarati decided that the jedi order meant more to her then nine days of pleasure and turned her back on him in the presence of her own master.
It was decided by the council that she could do her trial of skill in the temple. Fighting against one of the best swordsmen in the order. She lost the fight after almost an hour on constant lightsaber dueling. Her mastery in djem sho wasn’t great enough to defeat this foe and she relied on her most powefull force power to end the battle. It was clear that she lost the lightsaber duel, but her display or a very efficient Force repulse that blew the swordsman into the wall. The council decided that she had passed the trial of skill. Aarati though, was surpised that it had been so easy to blow a master into a wall. After much thinking she figured that someone who focused entirely on swordplay must lack in knowledge of the force. She made a vow to herself that this would never happen to her. And to train in both practices equally.
Meanwhile her master was summoned by the council to talk about Aarati. Her master deemed her good enough to be a jedi knight and said that the inner struggles she had with herself through he previous meditation proved that she would be a great jedi because she had in the end let the order be more important to her then her own curiousity.
After a short time the council agreed to make her a Jedi Knight and conducted the ceremony that ended with cutting off her padawan braid.
/1383-1993 AHW/:
After being ascended to being a jedi knight she now had more missions to undertake alone. She understood the need of getting better and better at force repulse and finally got it right a few months after ascending to knighthood It had been around twelve years since she started to practice the move and now finally mastered it. The missions she went on were more grim and dangerous then her previous missions had been. Due to her combined focus on force powers and lightsaber skills she often got dispatched to missions that included hunting down dark jedi or people that claimed to be. Her curiosity made her doubt the order more then once and the dark side watched her. And she couldn’t help but to curiously watch back at times. Wondering what it would be like to live without bonds and be free of all the rules that the jedi were chained into.
She quickly progressed to be seen as a great fighter. Her success rate on missions was very high and she never gave up once she had gotten an order. Years flew by as the cycle of events kept repeating themselves. Even the most dangerous missions got quite boring to her and she started to ask herself why the council always sent her to the most dangerous missions. Her first answer being; because I perform well. But this answer slowly started to change into; Because I am the best. She couldn’t help it. And only through much meditation she could regain calmness in herself. It was almost nine years after she had ascended into knighthood, the only big event that happened was the constant doubt in herself and against the Order.
When she was in the temple it all seemed clear and obvious. The Jedi were the ones that protected the peace in the world. But when she left the temple, a voice in her kept calling out, saying that the whole foundation on which the jedi order was build were lies. In every world she visited she couldn’t find anything else then war and sorrow.
Due to her mastery in various aspects of the force and also her lightsaber skills people started thinking that she should be promoted to the rank of master. Her constant victories against the dark side and her enlightment when she was in the temple made it look like the dark side didn’t have grip on her, proving she was a excellent candidate for the position.
And at last, on her 33th birthday the council decided that the jedi knight Aarati Irawagbom was to be promoted to the rank of jedi master. She was honored with the promotion and hugged her former master and thanked her for the excellent training that she had gotten for so many years. Although after this promotion, her missions just carried on as normal. The only difference was that she was now being addressed as Master Irwagbon instead or Aarati. She started to slowly close from everyone and sometimes thinking dark thoughts. She often meditated over things that jedi were supposed to know, and not think.
/Fall into Darkness/:
After 4 years of going on like this, only thinking and doing what the council asked, she was close to giving up being a jedi. When she had almost reached her decision the council asked her if she could come to them. They had decided to give her a mission of which she knew was a test to see where her loyalties lay. Her mission was to take out the leader of a crime syndicate on the world of Ambria. The leader was said to be a Dark jedi who claimed that he had the power of a sith. Exited with the mission she got on her way. After the trip to ambria it was only a little task for find this crime syndicate and their headquarters.
She had to fight through all the guards before she could enter the main hall and face the leader. She obviously had chosen a wrong night to be present as it seemed that the leader had hosted a party. When the Jedi master with an ignited lightsaber entered the room most of the smugglers and other scum cowered away at the sight of her. She could feel herself lose control on this dark world and was very close to the dark side, but now she was in the headquarters she couldn’t simply turn back. The leader appeared to be a man of the same age as her. She told him that he was arrested in the name of the republic and that he had the option to come with her quietly. On which the leader claimed that she didn’t mean that. This deep insight in her persona shook her and made her feel anxious. She was just in time to parry his first attack. He used a red lightsaber. Their duel was long and intense. At a certain point when it was clear that their abilities matched and she got enraged and lost control sending a wave of darkside power hurling across the room destroying and killing a few people in its path.
She felt relieved at this wave and for a moment it looked like she could resume fighting like normal like it never happened. Her opponent who had thrown up a force wall in time to protect himself from the dangerous force wave only smiled. He smiled as he saw that the girl who he had just faced started to realize that the force wave didn’t relieve but only make things clear to her. She could see everything clear now, the lies of the jedi saying that the dark side only led down to a very treacherous path, this were all lies as she had thought in the past few years.
In the few seconds that she had come to realize this, her opponent had seized the opportunity to launch a force attack of his own. She felt like her organs slowly started to implode. She got horrible pain and screamed. The pain slowly turned into anger and with another wave of dark side energies she freed herself from the attack. The short duel that followed had a clear winner, boosted by the power of her anger she easily cornered her opponent with a series of swift power strokes that were normal in djem sho, she realized at this time that Djem Sho was more strong if fueled by anger. After more then ten years of doubt she had finally chosen her way. And it led down to the dark side.
She disarmed the opponent with a very powerful blow from her sword and grabbed his lightsaber out of the air with the force. As she made her own blade of plasma disappear her enemy looked relieved, as if he couldn’t be killed if it was not by a lightsaber. Aarati held out her hand in a choke like maneuver. She literally pushed the life energy out of them, feeding her own dark energy with his fear.
As soon as the Leader was dead she started to toss around the body for fun with the force contemplating her demise. When she was done playing with the body she felt a surge of dark power energy coming from upstairs. Turning her head upwards as if she could see a cloud of dark side power forming above the quarters. She took the stairs following her senses, when she entered the room of the leader it finally became clear how he had gotten his power. A holocron was hidden in on of the drawers.
She staid on ambria for a few months to explore the holocron, still sure that she could easily turn back to the light whenever she wanted too. What she didn’t know was that the gatekeeper seduced her into the deep wells of the dark side more and more. She learned about what the gatekeeper had learned from his enless studies about the sith, he was a dark jedi himself and Aarati thought that he didn’t have the guts to go look for the actual sith. She was taught about the sith and their code and got interested, more interested then she had ever been in any other subject. She only paid a little attention to the force powers that were stored inside only learning one, the one that was used against her in her last battle for the Jedi Order.
After four months of exploring the holocron, she at last realized that she couldn’t go back to the temple. She knew that her next destination was Korriban to explore the valley of the sith. The last thing she did on ambria was destroying the holocron, as power shouldn’t be shared Not even little power like this. It should only be gathered, sharing power was a perversion of nature. The only thing important was gathering it.
She had thrown away the teachings of the jedi and embraced a new code to live by.
There is no peace, only passion
Through passion, I gain strength
Through strength, I gain power
Through power, I gain victory.
Through victory, my chains are broken..

RP Sample:
She gently touched the holocron with the force to activate it, before her the gatekeeper appeared, he appeared to be a middle aged man with fierce yellow eyes. Greeting him she explained her situation, not realizing this was a foolish move, as the gatekeeper would only use this to lure her further into the dark side.
He guided her through his first note on the use of various force powers, in which she had little interest for now. Maybe she would pay attention to that later. The man’s voice seemed slick and deep, very easily to trust without looking twice. He told her about his experience with the light and the dark side of the force. His voice had something hypnotizing Aarati would realize later. And she listened to it carefully storing everything he said into her mind. Out of the self confident mouth of this male hologram it all sounded so logical. It all made sense; she asked herself how she could have been idiotic enough to fall for the lies of the jedi. What imbecile would live with all the bondages that restrained you, blocking your true potential?
As the day grew longer, the gatekeeper told her all about what he thought were the philosophies of the sith, She would have to do way more study to understand and grasp all of that, but for now it all seemed to make sense. The confusion she had all those years dissolved.
After nine tiring hours of letting the gatekeeper talk to her, and giving her insights she thanked him and switched off the holocron planning to use it much more the upcoming months.

When Aarati was asleep she had a dream, in that dream she saw her older self with a blue bladed lightsaber cutting of the hand of an unarmed woman. It wasn’t like an ordinary dream and when she woke she was afraid and full of doubt. Her master had felt the tremor that the dream have given in the force and asked her what she saw. Thinking it was a vision, she decided to keep what she saw a secret and told her master that she would rather not talk about what she had seen. Her master told her the usual jedi stuff, that she should be aware of her feelings. The only thing Aarati could do was to turn around and fall asleep again.
When they landed on the planet they went out asking people if they knew anything about the pirate that they had to capture. Within a day they heard several accounts say the same place and decided to investigate it. They found the pirate quite easily and arrested him after a short quarrel. Happy that there had not been any grave injuries they took the pirate back to Corusant and reported to the jedi council and reported about their mission. It was deemed a success and they got to rest for a few weeks.
At age fifteen she was taken by her master to the planet of Ilum to Get the required crystals that she would need to construct her own lightsaber. When she entered the cave she could feel the force resonating through the endless crystal caves and she set out to found the crystal that called out to her. After a few hours of walking through the endless shimmering of the crystals around her she found a very delicate blue crystal. Her mind flashed back to the dream she had years ago and recalled that she had used a blue lightsaber in the dream. She sighed and took a few seconds to get her emotions in check. She got out the delicate crystal and started to walk to the open area and the Dais in the middle to make her lightsaber as she had planted it inside the head. It wouldn’t be a new weapon, it would be making a thought come true. While she was building she thought that making a lightsaber was the same as the force to her. Making a mere thought reality. She worked for various months, first shaping the crystals and imbedding them with the force. When she was done with that part of the deep meditation required she went back to the temple to create the other parts that were needed for making a lightsaber and imbedding them with the force. After three months she was finally done with the biggest construction in her life.
The following years she focused on practicing Djem so with her curved lightsaber, giving it an edge in Lightsaber combat. Her master was very pleased with her improvement and liked the idea of her curve hilt lightsaber. It was not unique and had been done before, but still it was something not often seen. They were send to more dangerous missions by the jedi council and that asked for fighting power and skill in the physical aspect of the force. Her master was very proficient with the telepathic aspects of the force and couldn’t really help her much in finding new and exciting techniques in the physical department. This made Aarati spend way more time in the jedi archives as she needed to search for ancient teachings that told her how to do more specialized force moves.
Around the time that she turned eighteen she found something interesting. An old written account of a jedi master around three hundred years ago told about a force push that affected more then only one direction. The name he had given this move was Force wave. With enough training a jedi could learn to gather the force inside her and release it like a shockwave in all directions. She also read in this account that some force repulse users even had enough strength in the force to make deeps cracks in the ground with only one repulse. Exited that she had found something that was along the lines of her talents she searched for a master to teach her this force ability, only after long searching she found one that was prepared to help her, as her own master’s talent lay in other directions.
It took her many months to even gather enough force power to hurl little objects away in all directions. Often having to stop because she was getting mad at herself for not being able to get this move learned quicker. She then had to take a few minutes rest before she even could start to gather enough force power. When she was almost turning twenty she got it right and could gradually start to increase the speed and power of her force repulse. She now often took her practice outside, since she was anxious about breaking things in the temple. She practiced in an open field where she would carry junk towards so she could see how strong her repulse was.
/1380-1983 AHW/:
Aarati had spent quite some time inside the temple now without doing missions or undertaking quests. She was acting like your typical Padawan. Studying in the archives and getting a habit of meditating much while still trying to master the force move that she was most interested in. And since meditating was almost the same as thinking she came across quite some questions that couldn’t be answered by the jedi. She sometimes started to doubt the ways of the jedi council and her master was worrying about her. Often the two talked for long nights, her master herself also had doubts about the council but she wasn’t born with the natural curiosity that Aarati had and decided to cast this doubts aside, thinking that the council would be very aware of what they were doing and that her way’s weren’t always the best way’s. Aarati however strongly disagreed with his and thought that there should be changes and that the light side of the force also should get stronger.
Everyone could feel the darkness clouding over the galaxy, and those attuned to the force could ofcourse feel it more present. The temple was still a beacon of light and hope, but the city of corusant was as always plunged in doubt and angst, this could also be felt by the jedi who were often inside the temple. When Aarati reached the age of 23 her master proposed to the council that Aarati was ready to do the trials that would lead to knighthood.
/Trials/:
The first trial was a mission to the outer rim planet called Nal Hutta, The hutt’s had requested help from the Jedi to solve a problem. The problem was illegal gladiator fights held in hutt territory. The council noted that this could be an example set for the rest of the galaxy and prevent further gladiator fights. Aarati was given this mission. The mission specifics were to infiltrate into the fights and arrest the leader. She had to go undercover so she couldn’t use her lightsaber until she was about to arrest the person behind all this. Also she had to travel along with citizens of the republic.
She set out after a casual ‘’May the force be with you master’’ Directed at her master. She boarded a vessel that went into hutt territories. With enough credits to buy a private vessel if she succeeded. After a few nights she arrived in Nal Hutta and asked around for rumors on these felonies. Surprisingly she didn’t have to search long until she heard rumors about some hutt hosting fights like these and she set out to participate in these fights. She would know who the leader behind this all was as soon as she entered the arena. Before she set out she bought a cheap vessel that looked like it could just bring her back to corusant as a last trip before it would go to a scrapyard since she did not want to waste unnecessary republic credits . Making sure her ship was nearby she acted as if she was a woman who loved money and would risk her life to get it. Quickly she was accepted and announced as the ‘’gracious death’’ on the posters that adorned the walls of the gladiator pit.
Thinking survival was still more important then passing into knighthood she kept her lightsaber on her when she entered the pit. She had an old fashioned meeting with death in her agenda. She was pitted in with various other individuals that liked money and she could see a quite handsome man sit in the seat where the last order would come from, at the end of the fight. She had been distracted a second to long though, just at the last moment her force awareness told her that there was danger and she could just in time deflect a shot from a blaster. She had thought that only melee combat was allowed in the fight, but apparently the crowd had other intentions, these creatures just wanted to see people suffer and die for their amusement. Aarati sighed and leaped high into the air landing on the one who had fired the blaster at her with a kick from above. Making sure that she only rendered him unconscious.
She took the blaster from her foe and made quick work of the others with a few well placed shots from her blaster. After the fight was over and the losers were carried away from the stage, the man who was in charge of this whole operation applauded her victory and asked if she would join him in the afterparty. She accepted, deciding to lay low until there was no one on guard. The aftermath of the mission was quite easy. She only had to use a little of her body to seduce the man, and when he was drunk and almost had no control left in his limbs she used the force to render him unconscious and shackle him. Jumping out of the window she wasn’t held up by the guards that were defending the front door and looking for possible threats. On the way back to corusant however, the man spoke to her a lot, and while she knew that it was against the jedi code, she couldn’t help but like him. In the nine day’s that it took to get to corusant the two build a relationship that passed over the lines of the jedi code. She refrained from doing anything that was absolutely out of the question, but while she was handing him over to the guards when she arrived at corusant the screams of the man were vicious. He shouted that they had done things that jedi shouldn’t do and that they had fallen in love in the short period of time. While this was partially true. Aarati decided that the jedi order meant more to her then nine days of pleasure and turned her back on him in the presence of her own master.
It was decided by the council that she could do her trial of skill in the temple. Fighting against one of the best swordsmen in the order. She lost the fight after almost an hour on constant lightsaber dueling. Her mastery in djem sho wasn’t great enough to defeat this foe and she relied on her most powefull force power to end the battle. It was clear that she lost the lightsaber duel, but her display or a very efficient Force repulse that blew the swordsman into the wall. The council decided that she had passed the trial of skill. Aarati though, was surpised that it had been so easy to blow a master into a wall. After much thinking she figured that someone who focused entirely on swordplay must lack in knowledge of the force. She made a vow to herself that this would never happen to her. And to train in both practices equally.
Meanwhile her master was summoned by the council to talk about Aarati. Her master deemed her good enough to be a jedi knight and said that the inner struggles she had with herself through he previous meditation proved that she would be a great jedi because she had in the end let the order be more important to her then her own curiousity.
After a short time the council agreed to make her a Jedi Knight and conducted the ceremony that ended with cutting off her padawan braid.
/1383-1993 AHW/:
After being ascended to being a jedi knight she now had more missions to undertake alone. She understood the need of getting better and better at force repulse and finally got it right a few months after ascending to knighthood It had been around twelve years since she started to practice the move and now finally mastered it. The missions she went on were more grim and dangerous then her previous missions had been. Due to her combined focus on force powers and lightsaber skills she often got dispatched to missions that included hunting down dark jedi or people that claimed to be. Her curiosity made her doubt the order more then once and the dark side watched her. And she couldn’t help but to curiously watch back at times. Wondering what it would be like to live without bonds and be free of all the rules that the jedi were chained into.
She quickly progressed to be seen as a great fighter. Her success rate on missions was very high and she never gave up once she had gotten an order. Years flew by as the cycle of events kept repeating themselves. Even the most dangerous missions got quite boring to her and she started to ask herself why the council always sent her to the most dangerous missions. Her first answer being; because I perform well. But this answer slowly started to change into; Because I am the best. She couldn’t help it. And only through much meditation she could regain calmness in herself. It was almost nine years after she had ascended into knighthood, the only big event that happened was the constant doubt in herself and against the Order.
When she was in the temple it all seemed clear and obvious. The Jedi were the ones that protected the peace in the world. But when she left the temple, a voice in her kept calling out, saying that the whole foundation on which the jedi order was build were lies. In every world she visited she couldn’t find anything else then war and sorrow.
Due to her mastery in various aspects of the force and also her lightsaber skills people started thinking that she should be promoted to the rank of master. Her constant victories against the dark side and her enlightment when she was in the temple made it look like the dark side didn’t have grip on her, proving she was a excellent candidate for the position.
And at last, on her 33th birthday the council decided that the jedi knight Aarati Irawagbom was to be promoted to the rank of jedi master. She was honored with the promotion and hugged her former master and thanked her for the excellent training that she had gotten for so many years. Although after this promotion, her missions just carried on as normal. The only difference was that she was now being addressed as Master Irwagbon instead or Aarati. She started to slowly close from everyone and sometimes thinking dark thoughts. She often meditated over things that jedi were supposed to know, and not think.
/Fall into Darkness/:
After 4 years of going on like this, only thinking and doing what the council asked, she was close to giving up being a jedi. When she had almost reached her decision the council asked her if she could come to them. They had decided to give her a mission of which she knew was a test to see where her loyalties lay. Her mission was to take out the leader of a crime syndicate on the world of Ambria. The leader was said to be a Dark jedi who claimed that he had the power of a sith. Exited with the mission she got on her way. After the trip to ambria it was only a little task for find this crime syndicate and their headquarters.
She had to fight through all the guards before she could enter the main hall and face the leader. She obviously had chosen a wrong night to be present as it seemed that the leader had hosted a party. When the Jedi master with an ignited lightsaber entered the room most of the smugglers and other scum cowered away at the sight of her. She could feel herself lose control on this dark world and was very close to the dark side, but now she was in the headquarters she couldn’t simply turn back. The leader appeared to be a man of the same age as her. She told him that he was arrested in the name of the republic and that he had the option to come with her quietly. On which the leader claimed that she didn’t mean that. This deep insight in her persona shook her and made her feel anxious. She was just in time to parry his first attack. He used a red lightsaber. Their duel was long and intense. At a certain point when it was clear that their abilities matched and she got enraged and lost control sending a wave of darkside power hurling across the room destroying and killing a few people in its path.
She felt relieved at this wave and for a moment it looked like she could resume fighting like normal like it never happened. Her opponent who had thrown up a force wall in time to protect himself from the dangerous force wave only smiled. He smiled as he saw that the girl who he had just faced started to realize that the force wave didn’t relieve but only make things clear to her. She could see everything clear now, the lies of the jedi saying that the dark side only led down to a very treacherous path, this were all lies as she had thought in the past few years.
In the few seconds that she had come to realize this, her opponent had seized the opportunity to launch a force attack of his own. She felt like her organs slowly started to implode. She got horrible pain and screamed. The pain slowly turned into anger and with another wave of dark side energies she freed herself from the attack. The short duel that followed had a clear winner, boosted by the power of her anger she easily cornered her opponent with a series of swift power strokes that were normal in djem sho, she realized at this time that Djem Sho was more strong if fueled by anger. After more then ten years of doubt she had finally chosen her way. And it led down to the dark side.
She disarmed the opponent with a very powerful blow from her sword and grabbed his lightsaber out of the air with the force. As she made her own blade of plasma disappear her enemy looked relieved, as if he couldn’t be killed if it was not by a lightsaber. Aarati held out her hand in a choke like maneuver. She literally pushed the life energy out of them, feeding her own dark energy with his fear.
As soon as the Leader was dead she started to toss around the body for fun with the force contemplating her demise. When she was done playing with the body she felt a surge of dark power energy coming from upstairs. Turning her head upwards as if she could see a cloud of dark side power forming above the quarters. She took the stairs following her senses, when she entered the room of the leader it finally became clear how he had gotten his power. A holocron was hidden in on of the drawers.
She staid on ambria for a few months to explore the holocron, still sure that she could easily turn back to the light whenever she wanted too. What she didn’t know was that the gatekeeper seduced her into the deep wells of the dark side more and more. She learned about what the gatekeeper had learned from his enless studies about the sith, he was a dark jedi himself and Aarati thought that he didn’t have the guts to go look for the actual sith. She was taught about the sith and their code and got interested, more interested then she had ever been in any other subject. She only paid a little attention to the force powers that were stored inside only learning one, the one that was used against her in her last battle for the Jedi Order.
After four months of exploring the holocron, she at last realized that she couldn’t go back to the temple. She knew that her next destination was Korriban to explore the valley of the sith. The last thing she did on ambria was destroying the holocron, as power shouldn’t be shared Not even little power like this. It should only be gathered, sharing power was a perversion of nature. The only thing important was gathering it.
She had thrown away the teachings of the jedi and embraced a new code to live by.
There is no peace, only passion
Through passion, I gain strength
Through strength, I gain power
Through power, I gain victory.
Through victory, my chains are broken..

She gently touched the holocron with the force to activate it, before her the gatekeeper appeared, he appeared to be a middle aged man with fierce yellow eyes. Greeting him she explained her situation, not realizing this was a foolish move, as the gatekeeper would only use this to lure her further into the dark side.
He guided her through his first note on the use of various force powers, in which she had little interest for now. Maybe she would pay attention to that later. The man’s voice seemed slick and deep, very easily to trust without looking twice. He told her about his experience with the light and the dark side of the force. His voice had something hypnotizing Aarati would realize later. And she listened to it carefully storing everything he said into her mind. Out of the self confident mouth of this male hologram it all sounded so logical. It all made sense; she asked herself how she could have been idiotic enough to fall for the lies of the jedi. What imbecile would live with all the bondages that restrained you, blocking your true potential?
As the day grew longer, the gatekeeper told her all about what he thought were the philosophies of the sith, She would have to do way more study to understand and grasp all of that, but for now it all seemed to make sense. The confusion she had all those years dissolved.
After nine tiring hours of letting the gatekeeper talk to her, and giving her insights she thanked him and switched off the holocron planning to use it much more the upcoming months.
