The Old Republic Character : Cathar Male Jedi [thelegendofjer]

Hope springs eternal, so I've decided to post a new request(and deleted the old ones which weren't of interest anymore).

My P&P group disbanded, but I've got a new goal considering Star Wars. It is 'The Old Republic' from BioWare.
I've opened a german RP-Guild, the 'Tantayukai'. Basically this group has one goal: to fight the Sith Empire when war breaks out again. My character - or at least the character I hope to play when TOR releases - is a Cathar named Charmar Samek(I know...I've got an affinity for feline characters and Jedi).

He is a member of the more feline subspecies of the Cathar, his body therefore covered with fur, in his case with fur similar to Russian Blue cats.
Also he has another trait in common with the Russian Blues: his eyes are emerald green.
Though in the upper average in size he weights more than normal, the overweight being a mixture of muscles acquired through years of training and battle as well as fat which is part of his genetical heritage(all of his male ancestors had a liability to fatness).
Even though partially hidden by his fur, he boasts a number of scars which he got in battle - the most severe being a scar across the full length of his left forearm and one across the right part of his chest.
In matters of clothing and equipment he is quite pragmatic. He wears black and white Kamishimo-like clothes instead of the typical Jedi robes. Additionally he wears parts of armor - to be specific: at his shoulders, chest, back, arms and legs. The armorparts look kinda japanese - being made of small overlapping plates which makes the armor quite flexible AND durable.
He usually wields a single lightsaber, though he also possesses some other Lightsaber variants. His Lightsaber is made out of a silvery metal, wrapped in black leather and slightly curved towards the emitter. The blade itself is silver with a slight blueish hue or the other way round, whatever fits better. In addition he wears a vibrosword, crafted in a similar fashion, the blade being slightly curved too. It is a family heirloom and the only thing which reminds him of his family.

Considering his background: His family fled to Coruscant when the Mandalorians attacked Cathar during the Mandalorian Wars hundreds of years ago. Since then his family has led a life in the lower class of society, somehow managing to survive with the bit they earned. His grandfather and father were soldiers in the Republican Army - both KIA. As a kid in the lower parts of Coruscant one has to defend oneself early, so his olders siblings taught him some techniques they learned from his parents. At the age of 8, usually too old to become a Jedi, a solitary mastress detected his force-sensebility and convinced his mother that he might have a far better live when becoming a Jedi.
After he completed his time as a Youngling he became the Padawan of the mastress who found him. The training was hard and painful, his Mastress showing little sympathy and bringing him at his limits as often as possible. Though they became good friends after a couple of years, their relationship got worse again after some time. When he was 19 years old, he discovered the dark secret which caused their worsening relationship. She had kept a Sith Holocron in secret, consulting it in hope to better understand her enemies. However she had fallen to the seduction of the dark object and became a Dark Jedi. When he confronted her with his discovery, she attacked him with her lightsaber, willing to kill him. Though he gave his best, his skills in both the Force and the Lightsaber were inferior to his mastress'. However her arrogance led her to a grave mistake, which gave him the chance to land a desperate attack - killing his mastress with his lightsaber.
After reporting to the Jedi High Council, he was promoted to the rank of a Knight as the Order lacked skilled knights and masters. The next three and a half years he was sent on missions which probably would end in fighting. Two and a half years he was accompanied by his Padawan Shiala - a female Farghul which he loved like a sister or even daughter.
His last mission ended catastrophically, being ordered by the Council to retreat. While leaving behind the men he had fought together with for weeks, he did not only lose his trust in the wisdom of the Council, but also his Padawan and his trust in the whole Order. In his opinion the teachings of the Jedi Order were not appropiate to wars like the one against the Sith Empire.
Finally he came to a conclusion: he had to leave the Order and create his own group in order to protect the Republic and the Jedi Order.

I hope this might interest someone.

it's true that, as individuals, we can't change the world. but if we band together, and lock arms in a line, we can play "red rover, red rover." -nick decamp
