Name: Argon Farwell
Race: Human
Age: 22
Height: 5'9''
Weight: 150 lbs.
Appearance: He is deceptively average-looking, with black hair, brown eyes and mostly normal features, besides a nasty laser scar on his right hand.
He has an average Coruscanti accent. He usually maintains good posture, keeps his hands to himself, and generally has a "good boy" look.
As for his face, he has a patrician nose, small lips and ears and average-size eyes.
He tends to wear his Jedi robes, with his lightsaber hidden, "for more surprise when they find out who [he] is". He carries a small ball in his pocket, a token fro his old master. Generally, he looks "normal" and blends into a crowd easily.
Personality: He is quiet when he has to be, but can be annoyed easily. He has a "silent beast" attitude, hiding his power until it is the right moment to strike. He is patient when needed, ruthless when needed. He waits, then lashes out with all possible force.
He refuses to hide his scar, preferring to let people see it and hear his story if they are interested. When he tells his story, it is usually brief and descriptive, and, if he's grouchy, it can be a bit gory.
Philosophically, he reluctantly agrees with the Jedi code. However, he tends to think of the last precept--there is no death, there is the Force--as more of a metaphor, and believes that there is nothing beyond death.
He pretends to be fearless, but he does have a minor phobia of small spaces, though he can usually sake it off. If he should find himself trapped in a small space, he will usually start panicking.
He has had an extreme interest in politics since age 12. He follows decisions of the Senate, and has plans to be a Senator if he is expelled from the Jedi Order for some reason.

Bio:
BIRTH: Argon was born on Coruscant in 3623 BBY to Shernisa and Govon Farwell. Sherisa worked as doctor, Gorvon a lawyer. A routine midichlorian test at his birth showed that he was force-sensitive. To the recruiters surprise and relief, his parent's were proud for their child to be chosen by the Force, and handed him over without much fuss. So, he had been trained in the force since birth.
YOUNGLING: Argon became a youngling when he was three. He greatly resented the title of youngling, and preferred to simply be referred to as a Jedi. During this time, he showed a mastery of Shii-Cho and lightsaber combat. he made friends with Amy Nightgale, a Corellian female, and they usually studied together.
During his training, the battlemaster noticed his lightsaber aptitude. He was pleased, and suggested many times that he be given the innate trials early. The council refused, however, sensing that he still had potential to abuse his powers.
In his tenth year, the council finally caved in. Argon passed the trials nicely. Amy, who failed, promised to stay in touch with Argon. They then went their separate ways.
PADAWAN: At age 12, he was selected by a master, human female Ashlea Denjins. She had seen Argon's mastery of lightsaber combat, and thought that he could become a great Jedi Knight. Their first mission was on the planet Corellia, on a diplomatic mission. It was there Argon became fascinated with politics. The dealing, the talking, the occasional attempt to get something for far more than it was worth... it all interested him greatly. Thus, he studied the ways of diplomacy and politics.
He listened to the diplomats talking on every mission, and when he went back to Coruscant, he would learn abut current events. When his master let him, he would watch the Senate in session. He soon found that he was becoming a good diplomat himself.
On his thirteenth birthday, he went to Ilum to make his lightsaber. It was here he gained a fear of small spaces, as his visionary experience involved being trapped inside a tiny room. He did make his lightsaber, however, and he went back quickly.
It was around this time he received his first combat mission. Ashlea and Argon went to Tatooine to rescue hostages from slavers. Naturally, Argon was excited. But he was surprised to find that combat was nothing like a holofilm. He lunged into combat without thinking, and found that he was outnumbered, outgunned and overwhelmed. Ashlea attempted to save him, cutting down many slavers in the process but ignoring the captives. Pralaa, a clever Trandoshan and the main slaver, gave Argon his scar, and the mission failed due to the injury.
Argon fell into a deep depression. He became extremely drawn back and shy. He would reluctantly take missions, and if the mission involved combat, he would stay back and let Ashlea do most of the work. The master tried all she could to help Argon, trying several treatments, but to no avail. He didn't snap out of this until he was 16, when he received another mission on Tatooine. He saw it as a chance for redemption, and went.
It was here he meet Pralaa again. He lashed out in anger, but Pralaa used this to his advantage, and escaped. He did receive a bad leg, however, and became an enemy for life of Argon.
During the intervening time, he slowly came out of his depression. He achieved this by going back to studying politics and diplomacy. He almost mastered the trade. The missions he received were mostly diplomatic, fueling his interest.
THE TRIALS: When Argon was 22, he took the trials. He passed Skill by sparring with his old battlemaster. During the fight, he showed "grace and finesse", although he still lost.
He passed Courage out of hand by decision of the council. They considered that the fact that he had stood up to Pralaa a great show of courage for someone who had been depressed, despite the fact that he had lashed out.
The trial of flesh was harder, as he had grown attached to Ashlea, who had decided to leave the order to live a more humble life, and didn't want to lose her. The master gave him a token, a small round ball. Thus, he passed the Trial of Flesh.
Spirit was the hardest for him. He saw visions of his worst memories, including the slaver mission, his Ilum experience and his depression. He manged to pass, however. He learned to face his fears with confidence.
Thus, he became a Jedi Knight. However, he vowed vengeance on Pralaa, clouding his mind with the dark side...
RP Sample:
Argon, new Jedi Knight, was not pleased. His first mission as an independent being, and it wasn't anywhere close to where Pralaa might have been. He had been sent to Naboo--Naboo of all places--on a mission to escort a diplomat.
"Nice planet, isn't it?" the diplomat asked, trying to strike up a conversation.
"Yes, sir."
Then a strange sound rang through Argon's ears. It sounded like... blaster fire...
"GET DOWN!"
Blaster bolts burned through the window and killed the driver of the landspeeder. Argon jumped out, lightsaber drawn. He looked up at the sniper on a nearby building.
"Hello, I'm Argon. You just ruined my day, and I want to fix that. You can help by staying nice and still..."
He ran up the stairs a lightning speed. When he reached the top, he found that the sniper had drawn a blaster.
"Obviously, you don't know my profession."
The sniper fired three shots, but the lightsaber deflected all three away. Then Argon cut the blaster in two.
"If you don't want more serious injuries, I suggest you leave."
And so the sniper ran as fast as he could. Argon went back down to the diplomat.
"A medteam is on the way, Jedi."
"In that case, I'll get us new transportation. With vehicle escort."
