Name: Bolo Drev'ya
Race: Krevaaki
Age: 960
Height: .4m
Weight: 226g (cube) Hologram (Nothing)
Appearance:
Birth place: Krevas
Faction: Jedi
Rank: Master Consular
Bio: Master Bolo Drev'ya was hatched 960 some years ago in a queen hatchery on Krevas. It was quite a surprise to discover Bolo to not be a queen, but a male. This disturbed the nurse's of the hatchery to no end.
However, the Krevaaki were an old race. In their ancient wisdom, they understood that the will of the force would not be denied if it so chose to alter the path of one of its lifeforms.
So Bolo was to be tested. His Midichlorian Levels were of a standard amount, and he was transported in his larval stage to the pediatrics wing at the Jedi Temple on Dantooine. There, he was given special care tailored to the needs of his species.
As a larvae, Bolo ate varaciously. Though he could barely keep on the weight, the larval Krevaaki would eat three times his body weight, and more, daily. It became a chore to daily feed the little Cephilapod. So great was his appetite that the Jedi found they had to ask the Senate for an increased budget in their spending.
Through much trial and tribulation it was discovered that a nutrient paste consisting of several different varieties of plants and some marine fauna from Calimari was an excellent supplimental diet for the growing little Krevaaki.
As a Larvae, Drev'ya's mobility wasn't such problem. However, after his first molting, Life became very interesting for the Jedi Consulars in charge of the pediatrics wing of the Jedi Temple.
They would chase Bolo's tentacled little body all over that wing. Occasionally finding him clinging to a glow lamp, or hiding inside the hamper. He was a real challenge for the Jedi there at the temple. His expressionless face was always difficult to read, and often times. He was the subject of many a lesson for young Padawan's in need of learning how to read anothers feelings through the force.
After a few weeks of terror in the Pediatrics Wing, they got Bolo into a schedule. They figured out how to wear the little squid out, feed him and put him to sleep. Routine became a very common thing for the little Krevaaki, until his second Molting. That was right around the time when he learned to speak Basic. As he wasn't raised amongst his own people he was gifted, or cursed, with the ability of speaking Galactic basic very well. He learned how to hold back all the drool required for him to manage the words "The Force" and "Vaporator" amongst many other things.
The moment he was perceptive enough to absorb the multi facetted information bombarding him from all sides the Jedi began training him as a Youngling. This occurred approximately 3 galactic standard years after his transportation to the temple.
957 years ago...
Bolo's life as a Youngling was not unusual. He spent alot of time studying, and doing what he was told. Things were always interesting for his teachers as they had a multi limbed creature with incredible physical strength on their hands. It was during his life as a youngling when things became rather difficult for Bolo physically, however. They discovered that without his natural environment that Bolo was lacking a vital ingredient he needed to build the chemicals in his body so he could develope a propper carapace. His chitinous bits grew transleucent and he became sick for almost half a year.
Once a solution was discovered they began giving him the necessary suppliments for his diet. He grew a naturally strong Carapace and his health restored gradually.
He was trained as an average student of the force, not really haveing a proclivity for any specific school of Jedi's teachings. Though it was noted that he grew in all his skills equally. The Jedi way was all he knew until the day he was chosen as a Padawan.
945 years ago...
After learning what he could as a youngling he was taken under the wing of a Tri-dactyl species (Yoda) Jedi named Juva (Djuvah). She was short of stature, yet held vast wisdom in the force. She taught Bolo many things. The nature of the force, how to glimpse the future, and more.
Bolo's apprenticeship to Juva lasted two centuries of alotted time. The pair felt that their extended lifetimes allowed them a certain relaxed pace to their teaching and learning processis. Juva was often more than happy to indulge Bolo's questions, of which Bolo had many. The fortunate timeing of his apprenticeship left him out of any wars or conflicts during his training. It allowed a great focus on honeing his understanding of the force.
In 4,400 BBY a young and brash Jedi Knight named Freedon Nadd fell to the darkside of the force. Lured to his fate by the Spirit of Naga Sadow. A blood bath ensued causeing many Jedi knights to fall. Bolo Drev'ya was amongst the number held in reserve to guarantee the protection of the citizens of the republic. His mission involved the agri-corp on Alderaan.
He spent almost fifty years on Alderaan assureing that their cities remained natural, and that thier varied plant and animal species survived. On Alderaan, Bolo took several casual students of the force, and taught them what he could. He was never truly anyones master. Until his mission to Taris.
It was then that Master Bolo Drev'ya took the apprentice Vandar Tokare. A well disciplined human child. He found them to be quite prolific, and more than in need of perspective.
His next mission took him and his Padawan to the outer rim and the planet of Taris. It was Bolo Drev'ya's mission to assist the economic councils in their decision making to achieve a stable system. It was a satisfying feeling seeing Taris' economy change from a sesspool of corruption and debauchery to a solid and well kept system of laws and successful legitimate business practices.
It saddenned Bolo Drev'ya greatly to see its collapse, and anti Alien Sentiments during the Jedi Civil War many years later.
about 25 years after his success on Taris the beast wars on Onderon began, and Bolo was called into service, not as a combatant, but as a mission co-ordinator. His council lead to many victories and saved lives. It was around this time that the council recognized his acheivements and elected him to their number to replace the seat of one of their more aged members who was prepareing for his "nightfall."
There was a breif period of relative peace in the galaxy for some time after that. The time seemed to pass by as Master Drev'ya submitted his apprentice to the Knight Trials, and took a new one, and again the process continued.
Unfortunately in the year of 4,250 BBY several young and brash Jedi attempted to bring about the Third Great Schism of the Jedi. In failing to take over Coruscant they escaped to the Vultar system and activated a device known as the Cosmic Turbine, destroying themselves and the system with them. Not to mention several Jedi. Old and young, prepared and un-prepared to become one with the force. It shook the remaining Jedi to the core. Bringing about an increased discipline amongst their ranks.
The Galaxy became reletively peaceful once more and Bolo Drev'ya began to practice some varied and unorthodox techniques involveing force sense. By bringing his body into a state of suspended sleep he found he could actually feel the Galaxy as a whole. But not much beyond into the blackness beyond the rim.
Master Drev'ya was on his fifth padawan when he was called into service to attempt to resolve a Civil war on Taris. It was left to him to gather research and intel involving the fine points involving the unfortunate event. Indeed the situation was not resolved quickly enough, and the Jedi were unable to aid the planet. In fact the situation was compounded and hidden by the upper class members of the populace. The Civil war was resolved, although the anti-alien sentiment involved with it's inception lingered on after.
In 4019 BBY Bolo was involved with the group that designed the temple being built on Coruscant. He found it strange that the Jedi had shifted to a more military like order, though he could sense that it was a wise plan as his visions into the future of Galactic conflict were grim, regardless.
A year after Master Drev'ya was privy to a vision of the coming of two great Jedi knights. One that would save the Galaxy with his death, while the other would kill him. Brothers it seemed.
Bolo was not alone in these visions as many Kel Dor and Krevaki as well experienced very vivid views into the future of the galaxy. Unfortunately it seemed their visions were not all in agreement.
Bolo himself viewed many difficult times ahead. In his visions he saught his place amongst the turmoil hopeing to percieve the part meant for him by the will of the force. Within his complex meditations he found himself to be missing from the events. This disturbed the Old Jedi Master and he came to believe his part was one of isolation. He did not leave the Jedi Order per say but he did leave the Council and isolate himself on the planet of Manaan. Shedding his robes and waterproofing his lightsaber the Cephelapoidal Jedi Master skuttled himself to the deepest parts of the planets Oceans in an attempt to avoid detection by the dark forces that had already begun to weedle their way into the Republics garden of decadence.
There he stretched out with his conciousness. From one of the deepest trenches his body sleapt. While his mind perceived many perils of the Galaxy. The Great Sith War, the Mandalorian Wars, all the way up until the Second Sith Civil war when he slunk from his depths to come to the surface. He sent word to the council of his survival, and gave them warning of their impending doom. He was disgusted to discover that they had grown arrogent in their ways. Ignoring their purpose in the galaxy of protecting the many weakenned citizens of the republic. Through visions he percieved their destruction and a rebuilding. He would rest for a bit longer, and come forth when he was needed.
He sank back to the depths of the oceans of Manaan and disapeered from sight.
The sly old Krevaki left his abyss and his meditations in the year 3,900 BBY bound for Naboo, which he had heard had been recently colonized. Upon his arrival he made contact with a few fledling surviving Jedi and began their training. From Naboo he sent out messages in the hopes of discovering the location of other hold out Jedi, and force sensitive students of the force who had survived the dark times.
Upon the re-unification of the Jedi and the slow rebuilding. Master Bolo Drev'ya was made Grand Master of the Jedi. With his council, an estranged degree of sanity was brought back into the Ranks of the Jedi Order. It was a difficult time regardless and much wisdom was lost. In his time as Grand Master he would see the Jedi restored to their former glory.
The Old Cephilapod passed on quietly leaving behind a holocron of great wisdom. Which is kept in a special room in the Jedi Temple. All Students of the force are welcome to access his wisdom, though the holocron may only reveal things to a student deemed worthy, and "wise cracks" to those that aren't.

RP sample:
A small crystaline Octahedron floats in an anti-gravity lattice over a table. It glows softly as you approach. Even before your finger traces over the small symbols upon its surface you feel drawn to the object. After a moments silence a figure forms, made of silvery blue light, above the artifact.
"Greetings Jedi, I am the keeper of the Octahedron Holocron." The voice says in a soothing near monotone, reminiscent of a large piped instrument. "I am Master Drev'ya survivor of the Great Sith War. What question would you ask of me?" The strange ethereal Jedi bows its head in acknowledgement.
((As this character is an NPC at best I think it's gotten enough work done to it. It is meant as a learning tool and guide to those in need of it. Please free to visit it's resting place within the temple on Coruscant.))
