“That girl can change from a compassionate, wisecracking jedi to a heartless, calculating droid in one parsec, it almost as if she could reach inside her head and switched off her emotions like a droid can turn off their behavior core…talk about creepy.”

- The Lightpace Family | Origins
Dacen Lightpace, the man would one day father Raskta, was a jedi of many virtues but none of them was the ability to be one more jedi in the crowd as he was a loner by nature and frowned by those that knew of his origins, who deemed him a stain in the order illustrious history in his early years yet the man was determined to prove his worth and devotion to the light even if he had to walk alone for the end of his days.
He was a direct descendant a lineage of ‘maverick’ jedi known as the Lightpace family, a small group of force-sensitive’s Echani that formed part of the Echani royal family but were force into a retreated hermitage on Tython due the Jedi Civil War and since then the Lightpace family have live for 5 generations in seclusion, only known members of the Lightpace family are those that form or formed part of the jedi order (Raskta, Dacen, Yusan, Argor, Fenni & Jainos from youngest to eldest) but their actual numbers go around 25 force-sensitive trained outside of the order by member of the family that have been on the order but leave it when they reach old age, preferring to spend their late years with their family.
The Lightpace were personally against the jedi order standings on romantic relationships because the they had developed a method to love without giving into passion or rage at the lost of their love ones by the study of an specific view of the force called the ’purifying force’ and nigh-supernatural force of will to render themselves completely unemotional when required to think logically which is a trait inherent on their bloodline along with intense force sensitivity. They became a sort of secret group among the order as agreement was made with previous grandmaster of the order and Jainos Lightpace so that he and his descendants could, if wish to, become part of the jedi order which since then they have serve dutifully as examples of courage and compassion
Although it has been kept secret the truth about this agreement, only known to those above the rank of jedi knight, mainly because it could have severe consequences among the order as not everyone could become unemotional at will like all lightpace could (when trained in doing so) yet many younger jedi would feel the tempted by such lure, attempting it only to fall in the temptation of the dark side, so as part of the ‘agreement’ was that all Lightpace were forbidden from be seen by other jedi, especially younger ones with their love ones and that their children should only be told their parentage when they become of age (achieve knighthood) and be sent to the temple before the age of 3 at most to be trained, entrusted to a ‘godfather’ , a trusted member of the order that the parents trusted to take the child to the jedi temple to be trained, the same jedi also was in charge if possible, of training the new child as his padawan and eventually tell them about their heritage after his trials.
Dacen, son of an Reiker Duran and Yusan Lightpace, same as his mother from who he inherit the Lightpace name, was brought to the jedi temple to a young age and was deem a gifted student as same as those of his bloodline, the force was strong on him and eventually trough out the years serving in the order acquired the rank of jedi knight with mastery of the force renowned for his use of force light to vanquish evil and did not take padawans. He was a man on his own private quest and only to return when called for missions by the council as his time was spend trough out the galaxy hunting dark arts text, destroying sith holocrons and purifying dark energy nest, He traveled every corner of the galaxy in his l quest of vanquish the dark side and walked worlds such as Korriban and Dxun that the common jedi did not walk lightly with valor and determination to fight the enemies of the light in a way few could.

This dual-phase, bares a simple yet functional design; streamlined without many contours on the hilt for a wider grip area, equipped with a clip on the ignition button to maintain the saber active and surface rough and unpolished to prevent slipping while twirling the lightsaber along with it dual-phase capacity make it a perfect weapon for the Ataru and Trakata forms, specially for latter as while taking full advantage of it dual-phase capacity, an skilled trakata user such as Raskta can perform the ‘pass the blade’ technique without turning off the lightsaber completely then reigniting instead she skillfully changes the length of the lightsaber in mid-swing which made her trakata form exceptionally faster and nearly impossible to stop.
Also Raskta lightsaber was later adapted to handle the intense surge of energy from her electric judgment so she can funnel the power trough her lightsaber, an ability that proved fundamental in her rematch against Galen Rendor

[/li][li]Electric Judgment
- This a powerful force technique few jedi have ever used, mostly seen by those that follow the purifying force, because of it similarity to force lightning thus an intrinsic association with anger and aggression although this is not true as Electric Judgment is a similar at first sight but different in nature as it permit raskta to project emerald stream of energy from her fingertip at her target but instead of physically harming them like force lightning, it saps the target’s strength and willpower and instead of feeding on anger it feeds on willpower of the caster to overcome the will of another, thus weakening them. When used by a skilled practitioner such as Raskta it can be imbued into the lightsaber strike generating debilitating effects on contact
Raskta learned to use this ability from An’Ryu’Pung after she passed his test and thus learned to become unemotional at will, and ability she showed in times of high stress as a padawan learner.
[/li][li]Proponent of the Purifying Force (not an actual power but wanted to add it)
- an unique view of the force of that has been followed by all members of the Lightpace family who learned it from an ancient force being on Tython known as An’Ryu’Pung. The purifying force has seen only a handful follower’s trough its existence, predating back to primitive jedi times yet is generally seen as a maverick’s view of the force within the current jedi order and considered an ancient fable by most jedi historians since no holocron of its studies have been kept by the order because the Purifying Force precept is treated, by those that know it, as a sacred knowledge only to be imparted to those with the strength of character necessary to learn it.
According to the Purifying Force, the dark side is an invader within the force, not native of it, as the force as whole is inherently good and benevolent thus it contradictory the phenomenon called the dark side being a natural occurrence within it, as nothing can have opposite while being a singularity it would require modification from an outside, third force, to transform part of that singularity into a duality. An’ryu’Pung describe the actual origin of what jedi know as the dark side as a meta-physical, semi-sentient cancer within the force created during the dawn of the force usage because certain force-sensitive species using the force for their own dark purposes, perverting it’s pure nature and from that small spark of dark within the force, it continued to grow within the force fed by the dark users trough out the galaxy’s existence, this explained why the dark side corrupts a person body when in constant use of it, causing disfiguration and madness because the force-sensitive is channeling a cancerous energy that the body is not designed for.
the ultimate goal of the purifying force is to avoid the death of the force at the hand of the cancer that is the dark arts as if the light side, the source of all life, is completely overtaken by the dark side , the essence of death then it would mean the end of all sentient life on the galaxy possibly the entire universe so It is the sworn sacred oath of those that followed this precept to fight against those that revel in the dark arts and worship evil thus feel no remorse in exerting all their power into fighting dark jedi although killing is still forbidden, disarming them with near-lethal force is not but this only applies to dark jedi as purifying jedi use their power to protect all life regardless of their own personal good, even for a single sentient or an entire sector faring war, a purifying jedi will sacrifice everything they have to achieve peace and preserve life.
One thing about this precept is that it teaches the jedi that while uncontrolled emotions can lead a jedi astray, it is unnatural to deny one’s nature and emotions thus teach them to use their emotions to drive their force abilities and control emotional excess with their willpower. All purifying jedi must be able to achieve the ‘heart of ice’ which is a state of emotional control by using one’s will to erase all negative emotions and control positive emotions to a minimun before learning to enforce their emotions such as love, courage and hope into their force power which in turn makes a jedi much more balanced yet this requires a person of an indomitable strength of will and character bordering on supernatural so only a handful of force-sensitives can successfully acquire all aspect of the Purifying force without going dark but those that do acquire an inner resistance against the dark side and they generally do not live life as most jedi as they let their emotions shine more than in other jedi and there have been case of a purifying jedi being romantically involved with other force sensitive’s, such as seen by the Lightpace family which is a lineage of over 4 generations of jedi knights although when they have children if they do, they leave them on the order to be trained at younger age

Once again Raskta watched with veiled disinterest as she rested her back against a wall in the far end of the garden, arms crossed over her chest as other knights in the temple spend time with their padawans, teaching the ways of force and peace exuded from them into the force, she didn’t to even focus on the force to know the emotions passing through the force-sensitive’s gathered as the force sang it’s approval into her being and this normally would have brought a sense of serenity to her, as she enjoyed and actually spent a lot of time in the gardens with the younglings, secretly putting candy on their robes and watching their faces light up it happiness from such a simply thing “the jedi path truly is sacrifice” said the purifying jedi to herself in low voice as she continued to stare at nothing in special, something weird for the veteran guardian who loved action and adventure yet it was no secret something else was mulling on her mind..
Raskta thoughts and worries where on her own padawan, Tristan, as he recently commented her that he was going to make double bladed lightsaber and that was the start of her dilemma “Tristan was so pump up about it, he was practically jumping trough the walls only to learn his master can’t teach him...what would you do if you were on my position, Master Barun” the woman asked herself in the privacy of her mind as she gently nabbed her lightsaber resting on her belt yet not even the weapon’s reassuring aura could bring comfort or a solution to her dilemma as she sadly to say never learned how to wield the lightstaff as she called it, most she knew about it was how to fight against it as for some obscure reason that eludes her, dark jedi seem to fancy them, but knowing how to beat it did not mean she could teach her padawan how to use his blade of choice to its full extent and at that thought had frustration build up that exhaust itself trought her mouth.
“Anything that can go frotz wrong, will go wrong at the worst blasted time, in the most stanged way”
the female felt more and more frustration coming so she began to centering herself once again with the heart of ice as she felt her emotions become calm again and hopefully, no one heard her cursing as she decided to abandon the futility of complain and continued to plan how to help her padawan yet came to only a single conclusion which was satisfactory as she dared not ask another jedi for such lessons and the only remaining source was not one you search unless you wanted in for a rough time as Raskta felt herself flinch “Uriel Shalaak…here I come” thought the guardian with a slight frown as she cursed herself because of her original refusal to learn it was what brought this problem and now she had to deal with the most picky master of all to learn double blades but of course other master would simply let another master take over training but this defiantly was not option for Raskta as she felt that as Tristan’s master, it was her duty and hers alone to assure Tristan became a formidable jedi knight in the order so her musing and own self insecurities would and will not stop her from helping her padawan become the best he could be.
“the Sith will take over the senate wearing pink robes and singing an anthem to droid liberation before i let someone else teach my padawan! What I am going to do is learn to use the lightstaff myself then teach it to Tristan, it should be a breeze for me now though, Uriel will realize that…right?”The female knight relied on her heart of ice and devoid herself of her worries at remembering her initial problems while trying to learn how to use that specific saber, having nearly lost an arm yet her decision was made. Raskta left her position in the wall as she raised the hood of her robes to cover her head with telekinesis as she entered the temple heading for a very specific sparring room to meet a very picky master, Uriel Shalaak’s holocron.
As she walked through the halls of the jedi temple, her thought wandered to another important person in her life, Volke Kandossi, a Mandalorian freelancer that accompanied Raskta during her long term mission to locate Galen Rendor and retrieve the stolen holocrons from the Emerald Dawn. Raskta and Volke became quick friends due to her wisecracking and free spirit that went along with Volke’s own sarcastic and adventurous nature seem to make the couple the perfect pair of hunter regardless of their lineages, although at their first meeting they had friction because the long standing rivalry between Echani and Mandalorian warrior cultures yet at the end of their journey and trough their experience in Nar’Shadaa, which almost cost both of them their lives when facing the locals, they developed a force bond with the other due the latter latent force sensitivity and he is dare say the closest thing Raskta had to a lover as he is more than willing kidnap her. This thought brought a tiny smile to her face and she recalled her latest encounter with the Mandalorian on Ord Mantell in which they met by chance and helped him deal with some bounty hunters after him and his last private words to her before parting and after a brief scuffle when he again tried to ‘kidnap’ her
“Once again you escape my arms raskta, but one of this days,I will catch you then I shalll enjoy my prize thoroughly… Jedi vows chastity can go get borked”
Raskta for one did not let herself be swayed by his charms and manly chest that seem to be sculpted by a divine hand and was so comfortable to held against as she carried on with her walk towards the temple sparring room she started to feel some certainly impure thoughts but quickly grabbing a hold of herself before letting her mind wander again “Oh force not again! I wish that stopped happening, is not like I can love him in the concept he wants even if I felt for him” Raskta knew that while many on her family had have romantic relationships and had children, every one of their partners were force sensitive capable of achieving the heart of ice thus capable of ‘letting go’ so she pondered how to explain this to him or if he was capable of such thing “Well I guess I could try to discreetly teaching him the basis of it but I wonder if volke is indeed capable of letting go of me or even worse….can I let go of him if I claim him as mine? recently I am no rely sure of the answer of that…I guess I should just take it easy for awhile and avoid him, maybe I will go visit home and ask mother for council but for now …my mind is volke-free zone[/i]”
Finally reaching her destination Raskta use the force to open the door of the sparring room and let down her hood as she took a deep breath “Here goes… thought the female knight as she walked into the center of the sparring room activating the holocron of Uriel and as the hologram of the ancient battlemaster formed on the empty sparring room, Raskta used her will to abandon every emotion trough the heart of ice as her doubts and insecurities would just dampen her abilities as the holocron finally formed she did a small bow of respect to the old master.
