Name: Karcen Tarlo
Race: Human
Age: 31
Height: 5’ 11”
Weight: 150 lbs
Appearance:
(undercover/civilian)
When Karcen isn’t undercover he wears the standard modest Jedi robes. His undertunic is a deep, almost brown clay red with a dark green cloak. His boots are made of Dewback leather.
Birth place: Talus
Faction: Jedi
Rank: Knight, Shadow
Bio: Karcen was born to a farmer and his wife on the rolling plains of Talus, and whatever life he lived as a civilian was very good and happy, till the day the Corellian systems Jedi Watchman came to take him away. His parents were only a little upset, but found the sacrifice of their son would be for the best, and saw it as an honor. He trained at the Jedi Temple on Coruscant but neither excelled or disappointed in any of his skills. At age 10 he was taken up as Padawan by Jedi Knight Rokai Kolre, an aging but wise Zabrak who was often overcritical of Karcen. When Karcen was 15 he decided that he did not like field work that most Jedi did and decided to try his hand at being a Jedi Healer. With the councils permission he was transferred to the Jedi Medical Corps.
After a grueling and dismal 3 years there, he returned back to being an average Jedi and his old master. It was later when he was 20 on a mission to Rori where they both had to eradicate a group of serial killers, his master was murdered. In a rage, he overcame the odds and defeated them all. Unable to save Master Kolre, Karcen took it very personally and decided that the life of a Jedi was something he just wasn’t cut out for and it seemed at every turn he was met by failure. He decided to leave the Jedi Order. He spent 5 years on the world of Corellia working in a factory that made freighter engines, sharing an apartment with a girl slightly younger than him, who would later become his girlfriend. He had spent every day in grief, never forgetting about what had happened but never telling a single person about his childhood as a Jedi. Eventually he degraded down to being a glitterstim addict. It all came to a climax after a long night of traumatic hallucinations about his past that he decided he wanted to quit this lifestyle. He had made several attempts after that but the addiction kept crushing him, it was only after he had revealed his past to his girlfriend that she helped him gain the strength to move on, get clean, and attempt to rejoin The Jedi Order. She knew that if he rejoined he would never be able to see him again, but she wanted him move on and be the strong and successful person she knew was inside of him, even if she didn’t see it happen. The day Karcen left, he told her that if he wasn’t able to rejoin he’d come back.
He returned to Coruscant and after a long, exhaustive debate the council eventually buckled and sympathized with the loss of master which caused his fall. They agreed that he was to be kept on a very close watch under the tutelage of Jedi Knight Looku Greekas, a Rodian. This time he proved a lot more successful, at first he struggled to relearn some of his forgotten skills then it all came back and it seemed as if he was on the top of his game. He found he had a natural talent for the Makashi lightsaber form, and created a new lightsaber to fit his style better. Four years after being readmitted Karcen was requested to be a Jedi Shadow. The Jedi Council had found him to be a prime candidate for such a duty. He accepted, and a half a year after that was given his first mission as one. It was on that mission he also proved his final test to be worthy of passing The Trials of Knighthood.
The Council had gotten information on a possible dark side hangout on Raxus Prime. Karcen was the one who was assigned to seek out and destroy any possible manifestations of the dark side. He arrived to the toxic world, and began searching the planet, and eventually found a cavern in the debris. He encountered a Fallen Jedi who had turned to the dark side, controlled and manipulated by a holocron. They engaged each other in one on one combat, both of them just about evenly matched. Eventually Karcen overpowered the fallen jedi, but the jedi fled and he wasn’t able to track him down and finish the job. When he returned to Coruscant the Council had found his skills and experience adequate and bestowed upon him the rank of Jedi Knight. He took the responsibility with great reverence and hasn’t looked back since. The last year and a half has been very quiet for him, taking any missions that get thrown his way, most being that of diplomat and keeper of the peace. Occasionally he gets a Jedi Shadow mission from The Council. Despite his better efforts and the fact that he had come to terms with his past many of his peers still see him as a Gray Jedi. He meditates daily in his small quarters in the Jedi Temple, clearing his mind and focusing his energies to help him make the right decisions later on.
If in civilian clothes, he is almost indistinguishable from the average citizen due to his cynical and very laid back demeanor, often allowing himself to express emotions. Karcen Tarlo doesn’t own any ship of his own usually just using any unused ship in the Hangar of the Temple or will resort to civilian transport, almost preferring it.

Sample RP:
Karcen walked down the corridors to his room in the Jedi temple, moving past the other Jedi as he made his way to his room. Some gave him a strange look, others gave him a friendly smile, and others still didn’t notice him at all. He reached his room, the door swished open, and he stepped inside. It wasn’t much, but it was exactly as he remembered his room to be. After 5 years of being civilian, he was going to have to get used to not having much or being able to give in to his emotions a lot. He hadn’t noticed it when he left, but the average citizen had a lot more freedom and privileges the Jedi were not. He moved over towards the Transparisteel window and looked out. That view was one he would never forget, and had fond memories of looking out over the horizon of Coruscant. Unmistakable and unforgettable, it was one thing he had taken for granted up until his return.
After an hour and a half of meditation he decided to go down to the Archives and look up anything that piqued his momentary curiosity. He got a few welcomes from some of the Jedi he knew before he left and a little news on some that he hadn’t seen around. Growing hungry he relocated himself to the banquet halls, grabbing a plate of his favorite dish, Mutandan Porf. He spent the rest of that day between the Archives and the sparring rooms. It felt…good to be back despite this place being full of otherwise unpleasant memories.
He didn’t want to admit it, but the one place where he would find contentment and success was under his nose his entire childhood.
