Name: Keton Tekal
Race: Human
Age: 21
Height: 6'3"
Weight: 220 lbs
Appearance:
Birth place: Coronet, Corellia
Faction: Jedi
Rank: Knight
Bio: Keton Tekal simply appeared at the doorstep to the Jedi Temple one day. He appeared in a very cliche' like way for an orphan to appear. He was left in a simple wooden basket, with a note displaying none other than his name on top of his infant form. The Jedi took him in and began to train him fiercely upon realizing the vast amount of force potential that the boy had.
For years and years they trained the boy, a bit wary at times that he shouldn't stray to the dark side, because he would prove to be a very formidable Sith if he should ever choose to fall.
Over the years Keton continuously trained, throwing himself into his studies and began to grow more and more as a Jedi. It was soon shown that his skills fell more into the lightsaber combat area than into any other aspect of the force, and he was trained fiercely in the ways of the blade.
When he was six years old, he was already far stronger than the other Padawans his age and was placed into training programs with students nearly doubling his age range. After that point he only trained with those many years his senior, and he constantly kept up with them, more often than not beating them in sparring matches.
Finally when Keton grew to the age of fifteen, he was assigned a Knight to teach him, the man's name was Anduin Balmonte. Anduin trained Keton for years, soon realizing the boy had developed a very hard head and stubborn attitude, but his intentions where nothing but pure. He soon began to realize the boy was very impulsive and chose to rely on his feelings more often than not.
This concerned the other Jedi Masters, but they assumed it would be something that he would grow out of in time. He soon showed that along with his impulsiveness, he had a very loud mouth and liked to talk alot of trash to people, even if it was in a joking manner at times, though sometimes very few took it as such.
Keton soon came to be known as a very valuable asset to the Jedi Order after going on several missions with his Master and completing every single one of them without error. Soon Keton was even sent on missions on his own without the aide of his Master.
Keton also began to grow quite a reputation in the Jedi Temple as being a very big womanizer. The female Jedi in the Temple were often sentenced to Keton's endless flirtations and swooning, though only a few of them actually objected to the treatment.
The quick-to-leap attitude and the flippant tongue made Keton out to be a hero to some of the younger Padawans, whom often followed him around, trying to witness any of the "Tekal Spirit" that they'd heard about so often from their own Masters.
Later on in the mission that would take Keton from the mere rank of Padawan, and propel him to the full rank of Knight, his master was killed in a fight against a Dark Jedi. Keton's trial was passed when he killed the Dark Jedi in that same encounter. (This will be explained in the Sample Rp)

Sample Rp:
Keton Tekal looked upwards at his Master as they walked across the frozen planet of Hoth. The snow was blowing in very fast now, seeming another endless snowstorm was brewing and about to explode around them. They only had another mile before they reached their camp, and Keton was very ready to get back to the warm building and thaw his numbed extremities.
For some reason his Master insisted on taking the young Tekal out on walks in the snow, taking him miles away to train him in lightsaber combat, something he'd seemed to be doing alot of lately.
Keton looked up to his Master, "Master...why do we go out into the cold to train....? Why can't we do it in the warmth of the compound...?"
Anduin looked down to his student and laughed, "Keton....you are very close to becoming ready for the trials....but you still have much to learn.....if you learn to fight in these conditions...in these extremities....then you will be at an advantage to every opponent you face...."
Keton nodded his agreement as they continued walking. It was then that he felt a sudden, but fierce, ripple come blasting through the force. Whatever it was, it was heading right towards them.
Anduin felt it too, and as Keton pulled out the lightsaber his Master had given him to use and ignited it, Anduin lit his as well. Suddenly a small transport ship flew into the area and landed abruptly not a hundred feet from them. Emerging from the landing hatch was a robed figure.
"Kharras...." Anduin spoke, a snarl to his voice.
The robed figure said nothing, but shot towards the snow flying towards them, kicking up tufts of snow as he ran.
Keton closed his eyes as he awaited the man's approach. He had been training for over 18 years, he was very near becoming a full Jedi Knight himself, and he was well versed in attuning himself to the warm embraces of the force. He let himself fall into that current now, letting the waves of light side energy consume him and focus his thoughts, letting it flood through his veins and fuel his nerve endings.
When he opened his eyes, the man was upon them. Keton pressed his feet into the snow and used the force to lift himself up into the air. As he rose upwards, his body rotated backwards as he moved away from the man, his eyes catching every detail as his Master battled the man.
Red blades met the pure white of Anduin's as the two battled fiercely. Keton dared not intrude, for he knew that if he jumped in, his Master would be too concerned with looking after him, than fighting the man. But Keton couldn't simply do nothing, and stand here and watch him.
Keton blasted forward, running towards the exposed backside of the Dark Jedi. He leaped forward, kicking his legs outward as he sent both of his feet flying towards the man's back. Suddenly, before his feet touched the man, he had moved out of the way, and slammed a fist into the side of Keton's head. The force of the blow sent him spinning horizontally and sent him off course as he fell to the snow, his head spinning.
Anduin now began to fight the Dark Jedi with even more vigor, as the blades the two force users wielded became nothing more than moving blurs of light.
Keton slowly began to regain his composure, and when he brought his eyes up to look, the site stole the breath from his lungs. Anduin was on his knees, one of the red lightsaber blades piercing through his heart, and suddenly, Anduin fell to the ground.
"Noooooo!" Keton yelled as he felt a renewed strength surge into his body at the sight of his fallen Master. His eyes narrowed as he ran towards the Dark Jedi once more. His muscles tensed and bulged as he gripped the lightsaber with both hands, he let the blade trailed the ground off to his right as he ran, the tip of it sizzling through the snow as it skimmed across the surface.
Finally as Keton met the Dark Jedi, he brought the blade upwards, only to have it blocked by both of the red blades. Keton waisted no time and spun his entire body around to the other side, bringing the blade around to hit the man in his right side, but he was also met with the red blades once more.
Keton then leaped backwards, avoiding twin slices of death, and the moment his feet touched the ground, he pushed off, flipping his body up and through the air, spinning around as his legs pointed towards the heavens as he soared over the man, whipping the blade towards the man's head from each direction, only to have it blocked by each attempt.
Finally he landed on the other side of the man and brought his blade from the right, moving towards the left, to cut the man's left side, suddenly and without warning, he changed the direction of his attack, and with all of his strenth, spun his body around to the right, bringing his blade around from the left now, completely catching the Dark Jedi off-guard.
Keton felt little resistance as his own lightsaber sliced through skin, tendon, and bone. Keton remained motionless, one knee pressed to the ground as he held the lightsaber out to his right with his right hand. His eyes where on the ground, but he knew his attack had succeeded. Several moments later he heard the soft thumps as the two halves of the man's body fell to the snow.
Keton stood, turning now to face the body of his Master. As he walked towards the fallen Jedi, he whiped a tear from his cheek and reached down to take the man's lightsaber. It was that day he made a solemn pact with his Master, that no matter what, he would use the man's blade to protect the people, to preserve justice, and to destroy evil, even if it killed him.
----------------------------
Once back to the Temple, Keton faced the Jedi Council, and after hearing the events of what had transpired, and seeing that Keton had not only survived, but killed the Dark Jedi, they had no doubt that he was ready to become a Jedi Knight, and they soon named him one.
