Name:Vatn Moongazer
Race:Human
Age:22
Height:6'1"
Weight:178.5 Lb
Appearance: Vatn found that having short hair kept your hair from being snagged, from whatever wanted to snag your hair, so that was how he kept his brown head fuzz. His bright blue eyes dominated his otherwise bland face. His toned body reflects his years of physical training, with almost no body fat on him. As for apparel Vatn is amazingly plain, tending to lean towards the old style Vatn always wears his long brown robe over a white tunic and dark pants.
Personality:Vatn tends to be reserved saving his energy for important topics and staying vigilant, though that is not to say he is a stiff person, when he is around those who are close to him, however few they are, Vatn is very relaxed. Vatn has found a single flaw within himself, he has a inner anger, though he spends great spans of time meditating, learning ways to keep himself from getting mad, whatever the situation. Aside from the temper problem Vatn believes himself to be the ideal Jedi, having no lover aside the force and having no goals aside from aiding the Order. Vatn also seems to have a slightly distorted sense of justice which will be better explained if you view roleplays.

Bio:Vatn was born on Coruscant, there were complications during the birth and though Vatn emerged fully healthy his mother passed away during the process, this may have effected Vatn greatly if not while they gave him a midoclorian scan and found him a capable force user, he was quickly turned over the jedi order.
The following years fell around Vatn as they would any other youngling, he slowly learned how to handle his practice saber and how to manipulate the world through the force. Vatn wasn't very social with the other younglings though, when he spoke it was because someone had spoken to him and his answers were always short and to the point. As he entered double digets in age Vatn found himself trying even harder than he had been before, knowing that if he wasn't chosen then his life until then would have been for naught.
He was indeed chosen, at the age of 11, by a Jedi Knight name Alex Carris. Alex brought Vatn to Naboo immediately and started to train him there, for the first three years of his apprenticeship Alex had Vatn walk all over the planet and hone his connection to the force as well as his combat abilities, focusing on defense rather than offensive teachings. On more than one occasion Carris would bring Vatn to the highest hill in the area and command him to meditate, often in weather that was less than exemplary.
At the end of their three year solitude Alex Carris brought Vatn off-world for the first time, he brought him on a few diplomatic missions before Vatn was tested in combat. It actually took place on Vatn's home planet of Coruscant, the Carris got a message asking him to meet and promising information on the location of a sith hideout. Alex relayed this information back to the Order before taking his apprentice and following the lead. The location of the meet put both of them on guard, it was at a bar, that was down an alley, an alley that was long and dimly lit, with at least one person that Vatn could see sleeping inside of a box.
They finally entered the building they were told to meet the informant in and Alex quickly told Vatn it was a trap, he would have questioned it but before he had time to he heard the buzz of the ignition of a lightsaber, watching with a dropped jaw as his first sith stepped out from the shadows he was hiding in. "Keep the alley clear." Was the only thing Alex told Vatn before throwing him backwards out into said alley and slamming the door shut with the force. Vatn ignited his own lightsaber and looked down the alley, there was only the one way they came in, the other ending in a wall a few feet from where he was. A door was kicked open a a little ways up the alley and four men came out, they spoke something to each other and started toward the door Vatn was standing in front of, it wasn't until they started towards the door did any of them take notice of Vatn, odd because he was wielding a lightsaber at the time. He quickly found out they had guns, two of them started to fire at him while the other two started to close the distance between them. Vatn barely deflected the bolts but was able to stay in the stances he learned back at the academy, when the two who advanced were fairly close one tried to strike him with the butt of his gun, thinking because Vatn was young he didn't know how to truly wield a lightsaber, he found out he was wrong when Vatn ducked under the blow and cut upward severing the man's arms at the elbow. He rolled forward as the first man fell and separated the foot from the shin of the second man who advanced, Vatn, kicked the gun out of that man's hands and focused on lifting him into the air, the man cried as his body was lifted a few feet from the ground and then flung at the two were previously shooting, he collided hard with one of them, knocking him unconscious. The second gun man started to fire again, but with confidence Vatn advanced, it was because of his belief that he had everything under control that he didn't notice the sound of the door behind him opening, or the warning his Master cried out and if not for the force push that sent him stumbling forward there would be no Vatn Moongazer today, for as he stumbled forward a sith cut across his back, Vatn fell to the floor crying out in pain, the sith luckily didn't have time to stop and finish the job.
The scar across his back became a reminder to Vatn, a reminder not to forget that though he was a Jedi, he was no where near invincible, and no where near perfect. After that day Vatn and Alex spent months searching for clues about the sith, the sith that Alex would tell nothing Vatn about even though he clearly knew intimate details. In the end they had to stop the hopeless search and turn back to ways they could benefit the Order, especially in such trying times. Vatn spent more and more time meditating as he got older, trying to avoid rash decisions and mistakes, this along with his speak when spoken to mentality made him a prime candidate for a diplomatic guard.
It was actually on one of these missions, six years later, that Vatn and his master encountered the sith again. They were escorting a senator during a trip back to their home world of Taris. The sith arrived with squad of soldiers that started to fire upon Vatn's party, Alex took the senator and the rest and started to retreat while the squad of soldiers followed them, Vatn had stepped up and engaged the sith in combat. It took everything in Vatn's playbook not to be cut in half, Vatn had thought himself doing pretty well at one point in the fight, and that's when the taunting began. The sith had apparently done her homework as she called out failures to him, she pushed him about his lack of social skills and comrades. And just as she had him primed emotionally she engaged him physically. She attacked with passion on the second round pushing his defenses, and when he did make a mistake she took his eye as payment, a vertical slash down the right side of his face took away the sight from that eye. The pain, as well as the implications the strike would have in the future filled Vatn with rage and he threw her, far. She seemed content with this victory and left Vatn to be found by his master later.
Vatn was distraught by this loss and asked for time to mediatate, Alex understood and let him return to the temple. Vatn spent the next two weeks in isolation, only leaving to get food and water, he thought long and hard on how he lost control of himself. When he finally left and met up with his master Alex almost immedietly felt the difference inside of him, a sense of calmness. From the day of mediation onward Vatn walked with a cane on his "blind" side, though in reality his sight was not impeded in the slightest. Every time he placed his cane down he sent out a pulse of the force, feeling everything around him, it was as if losing his eye allowed for him to see better.
Vatn also carved a hole in the handle of his cane so he could hide his lightsaber inside it, this allowed for him to bundle his robes around him and act the part of an elder begger. He used this disguise on many missions from this day onward.
Two months later during a mission to look into a missing person Vatn and Alex found themselves face to face with the sith once again, this time though she had her sith master with her. The battle they had was one for the history books, both sides using their force and lightsaber skills. Alex managed to separate himself and the sith lord from the two apprentices so Vatn was given a chance to redeem himself for his past miscommings. The sith tried once again to pull on Vatn's emotions as they battled but found that is was much more difficult, she only got a slight response when she brought up how she had marked him as her lesser (referring to the eye.), but overall Vatn was able to keep his cool and to an even more impressing note he was able to step under her guard and sever both of her hands. He then bound the sith and waited for his master to return. Alex returned to find his apprentice waiting with the sith bound and defeated, he told Vatn how the sith lord felt the defeat of his apprentice and fled. Together they brought the sith back to the jedi council, who after gathering any information they could from her, executed her.
It was not long after the last incident with the sith that Vatn was brought up to the rank of Jedi Knight. And that is where his story truly begins...
RP Sample:\
Vatn entered the bar, if you could even call the shabby building such. It was in such of a run down state that a whole corner of the inside was dark and covered in cobwebs. The clientele for the bar seemed to be just about as morally sound as the building was structurally, the only one inside that seems like they had more then ten credits to their name was a hutt, a hutt that had attracted Vatn into this bar. He was said to deal in deathsticks and that was ruining the lives of quite a few families in the area. Vatn had been on planet when a child approached him and asked ever so innocently for Vatn to take the hutt away, so Vatn decided he would try and do so.
He entered the bar wearing her raggaty brown robes and leaning on his cane as if he had a bad leg, he approached the bar and asked the bartender for a drink. The bartender, a Lafrarian, quickly produced a glass, not the cleanest Vatn had ever seen, and poured a brown liquid Vatn hopped was alcohol into it. He took a sip and found that it was indeed booze. He sat at the bar for a short while watching the hutt and his two female slaves. Finally a man entered the bar and started to make a bee line towards the hutt. Vatn stood and intercepted the man a few feet from his destination.
"You don't want what this hutt is selling." He said to the man.
"I don't want what this hutt is selling." The man repeated back.
"You want to go home to your family and look for honest work." Vatn continued.
"I want to go home and look for honest work." The man copied again.
The man then turned around and walked away. Vatn heard a growl behind him.
"We have problems old man." Came a deep rumbling from the hutt.
"Yes we do," Vatn said as he turned around. "You've been selling deathsticks to the poor in this town and that has to stop." Vatn looked directly into the face of the hutt, who started to laugh very hard.
"Ahh, I see, and I'm guessing you are the one who is going to stop me?" The hutt snickered.
"Well, to be perfectly honest I would be very happy if because of this talk you turned your ways around and started to look for a way to make an honest living just like the man I just helped." Vatn retorted.
"Oh, you've made me see the errors of my ways wise man, thank you for turning my life....KILL HIM" The hutt yelled and the bartender reached under the bar and pulled out a gun, while two men Vatn hadn't bother taking not of till now also stood up with blaster pistols. Vatn took a few steps away from the hutt, knowing their unbelievabel strength, and stood in the center of the room.
"What are you waiting for, SHOOT!" The hutt yelled again.
And so the three gunmen fired, Vatn dropped his cane but pulled his lightsaber out with the force. He deflected all the shots and allowed his presence to give the attacking men pause, he quickly jumped onto the bar and removed the bartender's hands. He then deflected more blaster rounds before lifting both men and mashing them together, knocking both unconscious.
"Well, Jedi, I think we can come to some kind of agreement." The hutt started.
"I already offered you a chance for this to end peacefully hutt" Vatn stepped forward. The hutt tried to swing at him with his massive tail but Vatn just jumped over it, and with a single swipe of his lightsaber, decapitated the hutt.
Vatn walked over to where he left his cane and he lifted it up before placing his lightsaber inside the secret compartment. He looked at the bar, somehow in a worse state than when he entered, I did good were his thoughts as he left the bar for good.
