Appearance:
Personality: Ikrol is a kind and caring Jedi. He spends a lot of time with the younglings and Padawans, teaching is his favourite experience. When not on a mission he rarely has any "down time," instead he helps his fellow Jedi in educating the next generation. Towards Younglings and Padawans he is exceptionally protective. He sees himself in as an uncle to them all, he takes a special interest in the Younglings from smaller species as he had some hard times being the absolute smallest member of his clan. Master Ikrol is always willing to help someone, no matter what the size of their problem is. He does not consider himself exceptionally wise, but his insight has been useful to a number of the younger members of his order, usually those he had some hand in instructing. He is a thoughtful Jedi and is happy to sit and talk with any one who may need his help. Sometimes they just need someone to listen and not judge.
Easily one of the smallest members of the Order Ikrol has always felt a need to prove himself. He became a perfectionist. That is not to say he was some wildly powerful prodigy. He just worked exceptionally hard. If there was something he couldn't do he would work at it for years if need be. This helped to develop patience. He is usually not a rash being. He will weigh the pros and cons of any given situation before acting. Ikrol loves water. Swimming in it, sitting and meditating in the rain, or just paddling in it. He developed this quirk when he was on a mission to Naboo.
Despite his kind demeanour Ikrol is a true warrior. He was encouraged to focus on the force as a Youngling, but he never felt that was his calling. A true Guardian he enjoys sparring with his fellow Jedi, but he does not enjoy killing. He has a great compassion for all forms of life and he does what he can to end a battle in a non-lethal way. Though he is more inclined to kill a dark side user. He does not believe they can be redeemed, that once they have fallen they are forever lost.
He is a true follower of the Jedi's rules. And he is loyal to the council, accepting their wisdom is greater than his own. He does not think of himself as a great Jedi, being a humble Jedi. Ikrol has not met many beings of his own species, and only one more than once. There were none in the Order, that he had contact with at least, while he was growing up, and his species only left their world in exceptionally rare occasions. For the most part he is fine with this. The Jedi are his family, and the culture of the Order is his own culture. However there are times when he laments that he has little first hand experience of his people. He has never set foot on their home world for example. He doesn't plan to either, it could only act as a distraction.
Ikrol has a personal hatred for slavery. He was born a slave himself, and he has seen a number of innocent sentient beings forced into it. Slavery is one of the things that can make him act rashly. He is also an advocate for droids rights. He is not a technophile, but he doesn't think they should be treated as they are. Especially the droids that can develop and learn by themselves. Despite believing in that they should have rights he is no activist, he does not get involved in Politics.
For the most part he sees politicians as self serving. He would describe the Senate as a pit of snakes, but he is a firm believer in the Republic and Democracy. Those ideals are close to his heart. He has no mind for scheming and politiking and is more straightforward. That doesn't mean he wouldn't sense such things, just that he couldn't do it himself Ikrol is intelligent but no genius. His knowledge is more wisdom than bookish. And he is a skilled military tactician, with a particular interest in Naval affairs. He has a huge respect for the men and women of the Republican armed forces. Unlike the politicians they actually serve the Republic and defend it. He enjoys working side by side with them, and he is seen as having one of the best relationships with the military of any Jedi.
Ikrol is a polite individual. Even when dueling he didn't stoop so low as to insult them. He thinks of himself as a civilised individual. Always respectful and deferential to authority figures. Tea is a favourite of Ikrol and is usually seen with a mug. He prefers lush green planets to Courscant and other city worlds. He loves animals (especially birds) and plants, and gardening is a favourite pastimes of his. Ikrol enjoys speeder racing, watching any match he can. He has a very sweet tooth, and carries sweets often.
He is conservative when it comes to the Jedi Code. He has been in love once, with the one fellow Kushiban he had long lasting contact with, which was an exceptionally painful experience. Therefor he is an understanding shoulder when it comes to such things. Though he does believe Jedi should remain celibate. He also believes in second chances, with the exception of a fall to the Dark Side. He hates bigotry in all it's forms, ane believes in equality for everyone. He has a very strong moral code, largely formed from the Order's teachings.
He enjoys listening to music. He likes a very wide variety of genres. When he was younger being called ''cute'' was a particular annoyance for him, though he lets it wash over him now, he still dislikes it. Especially among Younglings, he tells them kindly but firmly that it is disrespectful. He is often underestimated due to his size and he has a burning desire to overcome any and all barriers in his way.
Ikrol is looking for a new padawan, quite an exciting time in his opinion, and he can't wait to find the right student.

Bio:
Tyrk and his mate Ashani were scientists who left their simple home world to peruse their academic reasearch. They both took jobs from a University on Coruscant. Their field of study was life on asteroids, so they were rarely home, and spent most of their time on a small ship The Kush chasing different asteroids. They strayed into Hutt space and their ship was boarded by a smuggler working for one of the numerous Hutt crime lords. This particular Hutt Lord had a love for exotic slaves, and the Captain knew the Hutt lord would pay for Ikrol's parents.
The Captain was right. He returned to the court of the Hutt Lord Dejebba and was paid a great deal of credits for the two scientists. They were added to a sort of zoo of Sentient creatures. Including a Wookiee, a Human who was both male and female, and other rare beings. A month after being captured Ikrol was born. His parents were happy that they had a son, and named him after his maternal grandfather, but devastated that he was born into slavery. They began to plot how they would escape but luckily they were saved.
A Jedi Knight arrived. He was a powerful Guardian who was searching for a missing Senator. On arrival at the Hutt lord's palace he was attacked, and easily defeated the guards, and infiltrated the palace. He found the slaves, they were prominently on display, and he saved them all. The Jedi Knight took the slaves to a local friend who gave them food and water, and he contacted the local watchmen who was on the other side of the planet, to tell him he would be assisting the slaves before continuing with their search. He sorted it so the slaves would be given assistance by the Republic. But he also sensed that the child Kushiban was force-sensitive.
Ikrol's parents were reluctant to give up their son. But the Jedi had saved them all from a life of servitude, and they felt that their son would be able to help others. So they agreed. Ikrol was taken to Coruscant and his life as a Youngling began.
Initially he was cared for in the nursery, and all he wanted was food and warmth. Naturally he remembers nothing about the time he spent there, and nothing really happened. His earliest memory is of a tall woman dressed in white standing over him. His early years were difficult. He grew up among sentients that were, largely, of a similar size. Near-Humans were the most common and Ikrol was by far the shortest of the new Jedi. The younger females thought he was incredibly cute. They ooeed an awwed any time they saw the tiny white ball of fluff.
Ikrol felt isolated. Sitting with the rest of his clan he could of been mistaken for a mouse. He didn't feel confident enough to speak out, to answer any questions unless the Jedi teaching the group pushed him for an answer. A young Rodian in their group was the most extrovert member of their little group.
He didn't really make any friends. But he worked hard. And he was a favourite of the Jedi teachers. When it came to practise with training sabers for the first time Ikrol was very nervous. He was so small and he knew he would never be as strong as the others. He was defeated at first. Easily. But that only spurred Ikrol on.
