Name:Iris Darko
Race: Lorrdian
Age: 19
Height: 5’7’’
Weight:146 lbs
Appearance:
(Iris and his master)
Iris is lean and still boy-ish looking, he tends to have a complacent or relaxed expression most of the time, more often than not, his eyes are closed and he has a tender half smile plaguing his face. Iris due to his relaxed dreamor tends to look younger than he actually is; most people think he is a year or two younger, since he still looks rather boy-ish. Iris skin is naturally tanned and of a light brown pigmentation. Like any other padawan, Iris hairstyle is that of a Padawan’s braid although his hair is a bit longer than the usual. The young man hair is dark brown and it has the same coloration as his eyes. Iris has a thin lightsaber scar running across his back, which was done to him during a duel with a dark Jedi.
Iris lean body is more like that of a track runner making him pure bones and muscles with a bit of skin but very little fat. Iris is a good runner and can perform to a certain degree some acrobatic tricks he has learnt from his Jedi training. Iris tends to prefer mute colors over bright ones, as such his padawan robe is a bit more different from others, Iris robe being grey instead of the more commonly seen shades of browns, his robe is also a bit more unique on it’s looks due to it having a turtle neck. Iris is fond of his boots, he wears hiking boots that covers everything below his ankle.
Personality:
Iris is known for being someone with his head in the clouds, he is very easy going. Its often assumed that he takes things to lightly, which is true. Iris is not arrogant by any means he is just too relaxed and calmed even for Jedi standards, some assume it early signs of growing pride or even arrogance, and others think Iris lacks motivation or a true sense of purpose. No one is sure why or how Iris became like he is, not even Iris master Koth knows.
Iris is the type to listen to others first and then talk. He can be a bit too friendly with some people and invade their personal space at times, he can be also a bit protective and stubborn when his friends are in danger. Iris most notable trait is that he is an excellent observer and people reader to the point that it can become creepy. This is due to being fluent in his native language, which is based on body lenguage and reading it. This ability with help from the force makes Iris a very capable at reading people, both their intentions and feelings. Being a Lorrdian Iris is also good at mimicking people which in turn makes him a good actor. Iris is has a good danger sense and many are a bit wary of his relaxed behavior, since it may lead him to become more proud and on the long run lead him to the dark side.
There are few things that can get Iris upset or even angry, the most notable being the touchy subject of slavery. Seeing slaves can easily make Iris, blood boil and he will charge in head long into battle in an attempt to free those without liberty. Iris distaste of slavery has also made him predisposed to think lowly of races that are commonly associated with the trade of slaves. In a fight, Iris relaxed persona vanishes and he is replaced with a more active/aggressive personality, combat envigorates Iris and makes him feel alive, just like doing any phisical excersize. Iris is the type to learn things from experience than lets say from reading, he tends to do poorly in history quizzes and things that come from a holobook.
Iris Idolizes Jedi masters such as the well known (to him) Mari-Elan Nora and other Jedi who have fought slavery. Mari-Elan Nora is Iris childhood hero and he hopes to become a great Jedi master and strike a hard blow against slavers everywhere.

Lightsaber: Iris lightsaber is a mechanical work of art and one of a kind. It is a single bladed lightsaber with an unnusually long hilt (45 cm long) which has padded sections for comfort and to avoid his grip from slipping. Iris lightsaber was crafted to be with two hands rather than one. What makes Iris’s lightsaber “unique” is the feature of having three predetermined blade lenghts, essencially this lightsaber acts like a dual phase lightsaber that has three phases. The lightsaber features the settings for a Shoto length, a regular lightsaber length and one that of the double of the regular length. it is safe to say that Iris has still not mastered the use of his experimental lightsaber.

Bio:
A child
Born in the recently freed planet of Lorrd in the Kanz Sector, Iris Darko was born into a family that had a long history of being slaves and servants. With his planet having been liberated nearly four decades ago, his race was still adjusting to their new rights and liberties.
Iris came from a line of Lorrdians whose ancestors were also the ancestors of the now worldwide hero Meri-Elan Nora a jedi master, as such, Iris had also been born with the ability to use the force. Iris was a very strange kid but surprisingly popular one. Iris tended to learn things far quicker than any other kid in his village, he also was known for being an excellent athlete (for kid anyway) and runner. By the time Iris was four he was already more advance in Kinetic communication than any other child around. Iris was known for having above average reflexes and was the fasted kid around, which he used to outrun bullies and he was the best player in pebble wars, it was a local game that every kid played. It involved two teams throwing pebbles at each others, it was not the educational game but it was fun for them.
Around the time Iris was five he fell sick and no amount of home medicine could heal him, in fear that Iris might have contracted something more serious. He was taken to a hospital where a blood test was taken to see what was afflicting the young Lorrdian. The blood test revealed that he had some nasty bacterias had taken up residance in his stomach, this tests also revealed that he had a high count of mediclorians, high enough that he easily fit the Jedi order standards.
Six months later a Jedi knight came to pick up the young Iris, his parents had eagerly decided to send their son to become a Jedi knight like Master Meri-Elan, the Jedi who freed the Lorrdians, hoping that their child would follow a similar path.
A youngling
The change from living in Lorrd and then moving to the Jedi temple hit Iris a bit hard, at least for the first couple of weeks in the temple. However, Iris eventually adjusted to this new lifestyle. Iris tended to learn things faster than others, especially when it came to physical exercise or labor.
Iris tended to excel most in lightsaber practices and in obstacle courses. Iris was even commonly seen at the top of his class in time records and he showed great skill in the body parts of the force. Iris danger sense was also very keen (for a youngling) However, in the teorical aspects, Iris was sadly lacking and he had a hard time with mathematics, physics and even history lessons.
As a youngling, Iris was proud, outgoing and irritating to the other younglings. Iris was quite confident in his skill with the lightsaber and indeed was one of the top of his group. The other younglings tended to avoid him, since to them it was creepy how Iris had the unnatural ability to read them. Iris was aware of this but it did not stop him from trying to make friends or fooling around with other younglings. His efforts gave fruit around the time Iris was eight, when he managed to befriend a human girl by the name of Jamillia. She was a below average student and she tended to be a loner, so Iris took a liking to the other youngling. He even went out of his way to explain things to her, such as the “finer” points of Shii-cho. There was a funny switch of personalties among the padawans, Iris began to grow out of his "outward" energetic attitude and became more introspective, while Jamillia was the exact opposite.
By the time Iris was twelve he took the padawan trials and he passed each physical test with flying colors, while some philosophical test did not go so well. In the end, Iris was one of the last padawans to receive a master. A fifty six year old bothan guardian approached him who went by the name of Koth Se’Lab. The bothan decided to risk having the very unstable padawan, which according to the instructors observations Iris was very suseptible to the influence of pride and the darkside, but Koth had enough confidence that he would be able to properly guide Iris and put him in the right path.
A Padawan
Iris was overjoyed at the fact that he made the cut and after all the protocol requiered to become Koth official padawan, Iris rushed to tell Jamillia and brag about it, as it had become a habit of him. Iris found Jamillia curled up into a ball in her room, she did not made the cut and no master decided to take her as a padawan. It had already been a month since she had taken her test and Jamillia would soon be sent to the agricorps.
Iris was there when Jamillia shuttle took off and for a long time, the young Lorrdian was depressed that he had lost his most valuable friend.
Koth of course watched over his new padawan and was there for him. With Koth influence Iris became more introspective and the first signs of his current form of being began to really take root.
Under Koth teachings, Iris was instructed in the way of Ataru, which he took a liking and it would boost into the bodily aspects of the force mastery, which was the area where Iris tended to progress faster and learn more quickly. With his training being mainly the one of a guardian it was natural that Iris skill with hand to hand combat became greater and so his ability to wield melee weapons. Like Koth, Iris developed a low opinion of blasters and range weapons.
Around the time Iris was fourteen he with Koth travelled to Illum where Iris found a very peculiar blue crystal that he ended up using for his lightsaber. It gave a silvery blue shine, which Iris was fond off. During any off temple trip Iris had, he also commonly sent letters and mails to Jamillia and she usually responded back to him. Iris was so careful and secretive that Koth never found out, well as far as Iris knows. Eventually Iris found out that Jamillia left the agricorps to travel around the galaxy. They still kept in contact after she cut ties with the agricorps.
The first notable mission, was when Iris was about six teen. He and Koth had been sent to a world in the expansion region, Iris with Koth had to negotiate the release of a captive from a terrorist group. The negotiations went wrong and a fight issued, Koth was lightly wounded and knocked out while trying to carve a path to escape, Iris was the only one able to escape.
Iris contacted the Jedi back in the temple but no help was avaible at the moment and it would take three days for the nearest Jedi to come to Iris help, they also told Iris to wait for backup, but that was not an option for Iris. By sheer chance, Iris found out that Jamillia was just one hyperspace jump from the planet and she could be there by morning. Iris contacted her and she agreed to come and help Iris.
By morning, Jamillia arrived and was reunited with Iris, both planned on how to sneak into the terrorist base. They snoke in through the ventilation shafts, by sheer chance when Iris came out and found himself in the bathroom, he found one of the terrorist who had taken Koth’s lightsaber as a trophy. Iris liberated the lightsaber after knocking the guard out and gave it to Jamillia so she would also be armed. He then decided (against Jamillia advice) to create a diversion while she went to liberate Koth and the captive. Iris then rushed on and started to draw every terrorist attention to himself while Jamillia sneaked around looking for Koth’s cell. It was not a stand up and fight, but a hit and run and then hide game.
What kept Iris alive was probably his natural agility and acrobatic tricks, than his knowledge of Ataru or shii-cho. The first signs of the affinity to deflect objects with the aid of the force showed it’s self to Iris for the first time, when he managed to stir a blaster bolt a bit of course and miss his head, just by looking at it and telling it to miss.
Jamillia managed to find the already free Koth and the prisoner. The Bothan Jedi master had already managed to wiggle himself free, with his lightsaber back in his possesion Koth then created an opening on the terrorist ranks, which allowed Iris to escape, Koth also managed to escape.
The mission was successful and Koth both congratulated his apprentice and gave him a talk about how reckless he had been, telling him that he should have waited from help from the temple. But Iris didn't see any fault in his actions so he brushed away his masters observations. Koth also thanked Jamillia said that he would allow her to continue her trip and not return her to the agricorps.
Iris and Jamillia parted ways again, yet after all this years they still keep in touch, at least when ever Iris manages to smuggle a message to her. Iris first face to face encounter with the darkside of the force happened when he was sixteen. He and Koth had been sent to a backwatered world to investigate a disturbance in the force.
There they found a group of slavers lead by a dark Jedi master, seeing slaves triggered something in Iris who decided to charge head on into the slaver camp. Iris assault was furious and some slavers panicked at the sight of the young Lorrdian. Koth had no other choice than follow his reckless padawan and keep him alive, the Bothan master engaged the dark Jedi and Iris eventually joined in the fight but he was too reckless and aggressive and as punishment for being such a fool the dark one taunted Iris into blindly attacking him and gave him a gift. This gift ended up being a “flesh” wound from his lightsaber that left a slim cut in Iris back. Koth eventually managed to overpower the dark Jedi and he slew him. Iris lightsaber was destroyed during the fight and his pretty lightsaber crystal along with it.
The mission was a success but Koth became more worried about his apprentice and for the next year, they took no mission for a duration of time. Iris decided that he would let scar remain, as the reminder of his foolishness, which he still has not overcome completely.
By the time Iris was seventeen a strange idea sparked in his head, after conversing with a Jedi artisan and during a boring evening reading Jedi lore, Iris came up with the idea of crafting and making his next lightsaber something unique and more different from the norm. Iris travelled back to Illum with Koth, where he found a cyan crystal in the deepest part of the lightsaber crystal caves, with that crystal Iris back in the temple began experimenting with the invention in his head. It took him five months to “finish” the lightsaber, yet Iris still considers that something is missing for it to truly allow his invention to be complete. Around this time Iris personality was that of the easy going and fun loving person he is today.
Iris distaste for slavery was natural to him, his family had told him many times of how his whole race had been enslaved. But this displeasure for slavery grew to it's current level after, while accompanying a republic ship managed to capture a large unidentified cargo ship, which turned out to be transporting a huge amount of slaves between planets. At this point is that Iris began to take a more extreme opinion of slavery and he made an oath to himself. By the time he became a master he would strike a hard blow into the ranks of the slavers.
At the age of eighteen the conclave in Dantooine fell and the republic declared war to the sith empire, Koth was among the masters who was against going to war and very against the formation of the blades and their subsequent “rebellion” and their leaving of the order to fight in the war. While Iris wanted to join the blades, he decided to remain at his master side. Koth and Iris went on a couple of diplomatic errands across the galaxy and returned to the temple after the battle of Rhen Var.
Now with the currently going events Koth and the now nineteen Iris are torn between the choice of openly going to war with the newly revealed sith or not…
RP Sample:
“Remind me how we got stuck in this situation in the first place?” The large eldery Bothan Jedi warrior said while he in a clear Shien stance continued deflecting the barrage of plasma bolts. Next to the canine Jedi master was a smaller and younger near-human if a Lorrdian could be called that. The obviously young Jedi and the padawan of the Bothan, made a warm smile while he deflected another laser bolt.
“Well, master it all began with…” Another bolt was deflected by the padawan, who was using Shii-cho since that simplistic form was better suited to be used against laser shots than his chosen form of ataru. “When I slipped and fell right on top of the now one with the force Trandoshan leader of this bands of soldiers of fortune” He continued while giving his master one casual look.
Three bolts flew past Iris and he began slowly retreating, following the footsteps of Koth his master. The Lorrdian knew enough that his skill with the lightsaber would not last for so long under that much stress, his master also knew it so Koth opted for retreat and finding a more suitable place to deal with the mercenaries, which had been blackmailing and intimidating the local population.
As they retreated down the thin hallway, the pair of Jedi came upon a flight of stairs going down. Koth noticed them earlier on but his young padawan did not. Iris tripped at the sudden change of floor level and began rolling like a ball down to the floor. Koth simply leaped back and graciusly landed a couple of steps after Iris rolling came to an end.
“Come, we are outnumbered” The Bothan said deflecting another laser shot from the first mercenary that appeared. Iris quickly jumped back to his feet and narrowly dodged another laser blast, he began grumbling from the pain.
“That hurt” he hissed and nodded to his master advice of retreating. He turned off his lightsaber and began sprinting behind his master, they easily outran the mercenaries thanks to the aid of the force and the inhumane speed it granted.
After loosing the mercenaries, Iris rested his back against a wall and lazily dropped to the floor. Remaining seated.
“That was a close one eh?” he said closing his eyes and letting one puff of air leave his nostrils. His tone had a bit of humour in it, and the ever common smile came back to Iris lips.
“You are not taking this seriously enough my young padawan learner” The Bothan said looking through a corner seening if any of the mercenaries was coming their way.
“And you are taking this too seriously master” The padawan said rebutting his master comment, he slid one eye half open and began looking at Koth large heary body, even without the force Iris could tell that from his master posture that he was a bit displeased with Iris behavior. Not that it was a rare sight to the padawan. The Lorrdian eye shot closed again and he took another deep breath, this was going to be a long day.

Iris travelled back to Illum with Koth, where he found a cyan crystal in the deepest part of the lightsaber crystal caves, with that crystal Iris back in the temple began experimenting with the invention in his head. It took him five months to “finish” the lightsaber, yet Iris still considers that something is missing for it to truly allow his invention to be complete. Around this time Iris personality was that of the easy going and fun loving person he is today.
Iris distaste for slavery was natural to him, his family had told him many times of how his whole race had been enslaved. But this displeasure for slavery grew to it's current level after, while accompanying a republic ship managed to capture a large unidentified cargo ship, which turned out to be transporting a huge amount of slaves between planets. At this point is that Iris began to take a more extreme opinion of slavery and he made an oath to himself. By the time he became a master he would strike a hard blow into the ranks of the slavers.
At the age of eighteen the conclave in Dantooine fell and the republic declared war to the sith empire, Koth was among the masters who was against going to war and very against the formation of the blades and their subsequent “rebellion” and their leaving of the order to fight in the war. While Iris wanted to join the blades, he decided to remain at his master side. Koth and Iris went on a couple of diplomatic errands across the galaxy and returned to the temple after the battle of Rhen Var.
Now with the currently going events Koth and the now nineteen Iris are torn between the choice of openly going to war with the newly revealed sith or not…
RP Sample:
“Remind me how we got stuck in this situation in the first place?” The large eldery Bothan Jedi warrior said while he in a clear Shien stance continued deflecting the barrage of plasma bolts. Next to the canine Jedi master was a smaller and younger near-human if a Lorrdian could be called that. The obviously young Jedi and the padawan of the Bothan, made a warm smile while he deflected another laser bolt.
“Well, master it all began with…” Another bolt was deflected by the padawan, who was using Shii-cho since that simplistic form was better suited to be used against laser shots than his chosen form of ataru. “When I slipped and fell right on top of the now one with the force Trandoshan leader of this bands of soldiers of fortune” He continued while giving his master one casual look.
Three bolts flew past Iris and he began slowly retreating, following the footsteps of Koth his master. The Lorrdian knew enough that his skill with the lightsaber would not last for so long under that much stress, his master also knew it so Koth opted for retreat and finding a more suitable place to deal with the mercenaries, which had been blackmailing and intimidating the local population.
As they retreated down the thin hallway, the pair of Jedi came upon a flight of stairs going down. Koth noticed them earlier on but his young padawan did not. Iris tripped at the sudden change of floor level and began rolling like a ball down to the floor. Koth simply leaped back and graciusly landed a couple of steps after Iris rolling came to an end.
“Come, we are outnumbered” The Bothan said deflecting another laser shot from the first mercenary that appeared. Iris quickly jumped back to his feet and narrowly dodged another laser blast, he began grumbling from the pain.
“That hurt” he hissed and nodded to his master advice of retreating. He turned off his lightsaber and began sprinting behind his master, they easily outran the mercenaries thanks to the aid of the force and the inhumane speed it granted.
After loosing the mercenaries, Iris rested his back against a wall and lazily dropped to the floor. Remaining seated.
“That was a close one eh?” he said closing his eyes and letting one puff of air leave his nostrils. His tone had a bit of humour in it, and the ever common smile came back to Iris lips.
“You are not taking this seriously enough my young padawan learner” The Bothan said looking through a corner seening if any of the mercenaries was coming their way.
“And you are taking this too seriously master” The padawan said rebutting his master comment, he slid one eye half open and began looking at Koth large heary body, even without the force Iris could tell that from his master posture that he was a bit displeased with Iris behavior. Not that it was a rare sight to the padawan. The Lorrdian eye shot closed again and he took another deep breath, this was going to be a long day.
