Nickname/Alias: Master Kan-Rinn
Allegiance: Jedi Knight
Species: Tw'il-Nautoli
Homeworld: Tibrin
Gender: Male
Age: 26 [Galactic Basic]
Physical Appearance
Josol is the product of a unique pairing- Twi'lek and Nautolan; Father and mother, respectively. Their son was a perfect fusion of each species' traits. Josol has the tall, leanness of a Twi'lek at nearly two meters tall, with the sturdy, muscular build of a Nautolan. An unusual result of being a mutt species is the absence of half of the normal tentacle number for full breed Nautolans, which is fourteen. These tentacles are more similar to Twi'leki lekku in the aspect that they are far more thinner than the Nautolan trendals.
Josol's skin tone is a pale, almost olive green in color which contrasts to his large Nautolan, lidless eyes. Golden straps bind each tentacle at it's base, serving minor traditional purposes. An unorthodox breed, Josol is also an unorthodox Jedi. He is often seen in simple black robes, as opposed to the layered tunics of his peers. On casual days Josol wears sandals around the Temple and prefers comfort in contrast to formality.

The Past.
Personal History / Significant Life Events
Josol spent his early years from birth on the watery world of Tibrin located in the Mid Rim of the Galaxy. It was here that his father, Extan, a Nautolan diplomat, freed his mother, Y'la from slavery a decade prior to his birth. It was during a diplomatic meeting with the Outer Rim Faction leaders that Extan first met Y'la. She was an aid to the corpulent Senator of Ryloth, but it was common knowledge that these 'aids' were little more than slaves. Appalled, Extan organized a plot to rescue Y'la. As the congress from the Outer Rim was departing, they were ambushed. Y'la and the other slaves were captured, later to be set free. This move would cause the beginning of what would be declared The Slave Crisis; a series of military and political struggles that would rock the foundations of the Galaxy for the next ten years.
Despite these inter-planetary struggles, Josol's parents eventually married and it was not long after that the potential Jedi was born.
At the age of three a mysterious Jedi Master by the name of Dasou visited the Cal System. The Jedi on Coruscant dispatched Dasou to investigate the growing tensions between Ryloth and Tibrin. Surprisingly it was discovered that the Royal Family had born a being sensitive to the Force. Reluctantly, Representative Extan Kan-Rinn and his wife agreed to let their child grow up under the tutelage of Master Dasou and so their son left their custody to be trained as a Jedi.
Josol's training was basic, though it was clear he possessed an unusually high connection to the Force for a padawan. As he grew to the age when most students would begin to gain recognition by their lightsaber skills and Force-abilities, Josol's master refused to see that his Padawan was ready to begin a higher-learning. Frustrated, the boy sought out other senior members of the Order for guidance. They, too, expressed their concern and curiosity behind Dasou's reasoning, but failed to confront him about the matter. Josol was told to quell his frustration, for that would lead to the Dark Side.
The young Jedi's question was finally answered when he and his stubborn Master went en-route to the Ziost System for a mission to located and destroy the source of a mysterious dark side aura that radiated from the forest-planet. While in the transport, Josol learned that Dasou had not told the Jedi High Council of their whereabouts and furthermore that such a mission had never been assigned.
The Council, puzzled, informed Josol to stop the ship immediately and a relief task force was on it's way to investigate. The young padawan confronted his master and demanded that they stop. Dasou refused, reveling his true agenda- to bring the boy to Ziost, but as a sacrifice. A gift to the ancient Sith Lord Agmar. Dasou unveiled himself as a practioneer of the dark side of the Force. He had been undercover, to gain valuable knowledge from the Jedi, concealed in a type of rare cloaking ability granted by the Force. Stunned, Josol fled, but Dasou was in close pursuit. The Padawan managed to hold off his master, though knew he stood little chance against the man in combat. As they were only several parsects from Coruscant when Josol contacted the Jedi Council, it was only a small matter of time before several High Masters caught up with the vessel and apprehended the Sith. But Dasou was not so easily subdued. He easily dispatched the two Council Masters and fled, never to be seen again.
The Jedi High Council knew naught what to do with him. The boy showed exceptional skills in both use of the Force and with a lightsaber, but he had been trained by a Sith Lord. Ultimately, the decision was made to promote Josol to the rank of Jedi Knight for bravery and calm while facing such a close adversary.
-----------------------------------------
Here and Now.
Josol Kan-Rinn's parents continue to serve the Republic and are staunch advocates of anti-oppression laws. While the Slave Crisis is a distant memory, relations between the Mid Rim and the Outer Rim worlds have been unrepairable strained. Willingly abiding by the Jedi Code, Josol has a distant and strictly formal relationship with this royal Family, but was permitted by the Jedi Council to continue to campaign in the Mid and Inner Rims for peace. Like his parents before him, Kan-Rinn is a powerful diplomat and valiant Jedi Knight.
Special Abilities || Lightsaber Info
Josol is fluent in Twi'leki, Nautoli, and Galactic Basic. As a Jedi, though, he is a practioneer of many other forms of tongue.
Though still young, Josol has showed exceptional skills in lightsaber combat. He has developed a unique form of his own that blends Djem So with Ataru which resulted in powerful yet aerobatic movements with powerful swings. It creates the perfect blend of fast sweeps but with much more force. It's a hybrid, much like himself.
In regards to his lightsaber, dubbed Viridian, it is also unique. The hilt is electrum in style, but the shiny metal is actually cortosis, making it impossible to destroy by another lightsaber. It is equipped with a grip sensory array that deactivates the blade automatically when released. Josol added this feature a year after it's construction for energy conservation purposes. Because of his aquatic speciality, Josol often finds himself deployed on underwater missions. Since lightsabers short-out when they submerge, it was necessary for him to equip the hilt with two crystals.

Sample
Hoth. A barren, frozen world of expansive tundra; the only life on the planet was the docile tauntaun and the ferocious Wampa. This bleak world was also home to the former base of the Republic operatives which had been assaulted by the Empire. Josol recently had been given the assignment to finish wiping the computers clean. As he trudged through the thick snow he brought his arm to his face to shield his eyes from the blizzard's onslaught. "Curse this cold. The starship will probably freeze over by the time I'm finished." he muttered.
In the distance he saw a pack of tauntaun strutting about in the frigid weather, using the snow banks as protection against the fierce winds. Prime targets for wampas, or a chilled Jedi in need of more traditional transport.
The Jedi raised an eyebrow at the welcomed sight and immediately trudged into the direction of the pack. The snow crunched beneath his insulated boots as he walked. The tuantauns, hearing Josol approach, turned to flee. The Jedi instinctively slowed his pace and held up a calming hand.
"Don't run, I won't harm you."
His training with the Force as a padawan proved themselves useful once again as the group turned back and cautiously waited to watch his next move. However his focus was interrupted when he sensed the presence of a hostile force. Josol caught his breath as a fury, nearly-invisible claw came within inches of his stomach. As the Jedi recovered and pounced back, the snow-white wampa lunged at him again, swiping at Josol's side but missing again. As the Jedi launched himself over the monstrosity, but it was to no avail as the wampa's talon scratched his left leg. "Arrrgh!" Josol cringed in pain and fell over. Apparently assuming that it's target was incapacitated, the beast grabbed at it's prey and slung it over it's back. The Jedi summoned his lightsaber through the Force. It was a relieving feeling to feel the solid cylinder in his grip. With mild guilt, Josol activated his saber and plunged the blade into the beast's fury back. The wampa released a scream of pain and released Josol. Falling nimbly to his feet, the wampa quickly scurried away; back into the whiteout blizzard.
EDIT: Yeah, my sample pretty much sucks >.< In the roleplay I could obviously shoot out a nicer one. I'm just lacking a muse at the moment.
