Rank: Padawan
Bio:
Carth was born in the year 3,602 BBY on a rural community in Corellia. His mother died because of a spore that made her sick, and she had died while the medical droids managed to retrieve Carth. He was named after famous Telosian Carth Onasi. He was the youngest in his family, who herded Banthas for their blue milk. Unfortunately, one of their Bantha mauled their father, killing him. This left only Carth, and his older brother, Karo. Karo raised his younger brother, only 4 years old at the time it happened.
One day, while Karo took his brother to get food on a nearby market district, there was a Jedi acquisition group there. The group immediately spotted Carth among the crowd and one of the knights there Identified him.
Reluctantly, Karo let Carth be sent to the temple for training. One of Carth’s earliest memories was that of him being taken from his brother and sent to Coruscant. He was told that he would live somewhere else from now on. Carth was sad at first that his older brother would be alone from now on, but he was assured that he would be fine. His older brother would go on to create a business in the city, something that was a goal of sorts to Carth and Karo.
His life at the temple wasn’t exactly outstanding. He would take more time than the rest of the students in learning lightsaber forms. Often he would trip on his feet, yet this never stopped him before. Through perseverance, he finally mastered basic light saber attacks, getting him closer to being a Padawan. A few things often made him show what he was capable of: his ability to heal through the Force and his awareness. After his studies, he would head straight to the Room of a Thousand Fountains, just to look at the flora that grew there. Because of this, his fellow younglings called him “plant-boy” affectionately.
At age 12, he entered a tournament for Jedi younglings, and the winner would be assigned to a Jedi Master…However, he lost two matches in. Afterwards, he was approached by a Jedi Watchman, Master Kyth, that witnessed the tournament. Carth had been told that he was going to be taken in by the Jedi Master. Carth agreed, and the connection between them formed.
During his developing as a Padawan, Carth didn’t create his own lightsaber yet, due to him being too distant in his studies and often focusing on flora and medicine, and he would make do with a training lightsaber since he wasn't going off on Jedi Missions, and he had volunteered to help out the Agrocorps, so he would have been moving from Planet to Planet. It seemed strange since at Age 13, Padawans either stay on the corps or get a Master or leave the Order right away.At one point, His Master was relocated, at his behest, seeing as Carth has too close ties to the planet in the form of his brother. Carth realized that it would be tough to live and not be allowed to see his family, but he had no choice. He was to live in anonymity, helping the planet in his own way.
The next four years for Carth seemed routine for him. He would travel between the Temple, and Ilum. The first year alone saw Carth traveling between Corellia and Coruscant only, because his Master was to report in to the Council at certain points during the year. At age 15, Carth witnessed the beauty of Ithor, the snowy mountains of Ilum, and the rebirth of khoonda’s plains. He had witnessed all of this simply because His Master was rotating planets to serve for. Little did Carth know, it was for a purpose.
At age 16, Master Kyth approached him with a proposition: If Carth walked out with a lightsaber that was made in 1 week then he would be taken in as a padawan. Carth agreed, and he was given a satchel of scrap metal that he told Carth to collect when he went to the planets with his Master. With it, master Kyth told him that with those parts, he would have to make a lightsaber with them. With confusion, Carth obeyed with one last piece of advice: The Force leaves traces.
With those parts, Carth took a shuttle, and headed to Ilum. Once he arrived, he remembered how he was told to not to enter the crystal caves for the moment, seeing as Master Kyth told him he was not ready. He went into the cave of crystals, carrying only a satchel of scrap metal given to him, and marveled at the beauty before him. Carth ventured deeper into the cave, and he felt lost. He did not know what to do since he had no Master to get advice from. He sat down, and looked at the crystals. He had hoped childishly that he would make a lightsaber immediately. During that night, after trying to make the metal fit one another somehow, he gave up and went to sleep. Carth dreamt of the fields in Corellia, and afterwards, the snowy outside of Ilum. And finally, He dreamt of the Glow of Ithor. His dream got stranger after this. Afterwards, his dream took him back to the cave, and he spotted a woman and a young man. Carth realized that it was a Jedi Master and a Padawan. He witnessed as they stayed on for days on end, meditating on the metals as they started to join, and take another shape through the Will of the Force. He heard the woman speak clearly yet softly as if she were whispering to him. ‘The Force leaves traces. Jedi leaves traces, as a Bantha leaves its footprints on the sand. We Jedi must forever be wary of our footprints for they can squash a seedling easily. The very same seedling that will never grow to a tree, and the tree that will never give shade to people. Let the Force speak to you, young Padawan.’ she continued speaking, and Carth felt himself fall into a deep sleep. A sleep he was aware of.
Little by little, he would take to heart the code of the lightsaber. ‘The crystal is the heart of the blade. The heart is the crystal of the Jedi. The Jedi is the crystal of the Force. The Force is the blade of the heart. All are intertwined: the crystal, the blade, the Jedi. You are one.’ Everything was heightened to him at that moment. He felt that he was starting to become part of everything. He felt as if he became the snowflake that fell to the top of the mountain that started the avalanche. And then, he woke up. Carth woke up to hold in his hand a lightsaber. His first lightsaber. He looked at it, and he walked out of the cave, back into the cold. And back into his training as a Padawan.
During the next two years, Carth trained under the Master in the ways of Soresu, and only covered the basics of Makashi. Master Kyth watched as his Padawan showed promise as a Jedi. Carth was something special.
Carth wasn't the clumsy boy anymore that couldn't learn how to properly wield a lightsaber. He was a future Jedi, and Master Kyth knew of this.
At age 18, he once again entered a tournament for Padawans to show their development in their training. Instead of losing early on, he rose through the tournament, thanks to his Soresu training. Strangely, he developed a mirror stance to that of the teachings he learned from the Watchman. At age 19, Carth continued his studies in Soresu, and Jedi healing, and he felt that he and his master had a deep connection, and they felt good about that. Carth was finally on his way to being a Jedi Knight.
Then it happened…
The Jedi council in Dantooine was sacked by the Sith. Carth’s master was sent there to report on Corellia’s activities, and Carth happened to stay behind to help out on the Jedi healing classes. It was reported that the small council was destroyed as the Sith invaded the planet and sacked it. Carth only felt a sharp pang in his heart while he was in the class, and he realized something was wrong. He was informed of it, and was told that he would be reassigned to another Master. After this event, Carth spends his days in the Room of a Thousand Fountains, spending his whole time on meditation, trying to bring himself to let go of the death of his Master.

Carth sat uninterrupted in the Room of a Thousand Fountains. His Master was gone. He became one with the Force. His Jedi Master was forced to leave for a report on Dantooine, only for the planet to be sacked by the Sith. Carth was at a loss for words. He...had no idea what it was like to lose a loved one, since his father had passed away those years ago. He took a deep breath, and he stared at the waters; ripples flowing from all directions coming from a single drop of a dew that fell from a leaf. He closed his eyes, and started to enter a trance on his own. He needed to clear his mind on such things.
Things changed. There wasn’t no going back. The Jedi were backed against a wall and dealt a blow because of the council in Dantooine being sacked. And Carth lost a Master because of it all. Carth felt sad and angry…He felt that he lost his father once again. He felt lost. He did not know what to do, and in here he would at least find the answers. He continued sitting with his legs crossed, eyes closed, and taking deep breaths. So many thoughts crossing through his mind at that time, and in here, he thought he would find answers.
Carth remained still, and he felt everything in the room. The sound of the fountains, the water trickling off the plants, and the drops of water that fell onto the fountain once again. The Force left prints, and the prints affected everything around it. He was taught this by Master Kyth. Which gave Carth a realization. Master Kyth taught Carth. The Master’s actions are the prints left in Carth. And Carth’s knowledge will make a print on his future student. That was the truth, and that was Carth’s realization. But why did it still feel as if he lost a family member?

Carth has already been accepted at this point. Maybe something you missed in editing? Which leads me to comment on...
