The Jedi Order
Welcome to the oldest and largest Star Wars clan on GameWinners, and the first GW clan to copywrite all of our works under Creative Commons (we'll tell you the story if you ask). There have been other Star Wars clans, but most have died. We are open to all, especially those who were or are members of other Star Wars clans.
This thread houses all the RP bios of the members of the Jedi Order. Simply post your bio here and it will be edited in.

Bios listed in order of rank
Current Bios:
Arca_Jeth
Character: Arca Jeth
Arca Jeth is a tall, slender human male, standing roughly six feet tall. His long, silver hair is always pulled back in a pony-tail. He wears black and emerald robes ceremonial Jedi robes. Arca carries a unique saber. The width of the hilt is considerably smaller than the average Jedi’s, and uses slimmer crystals and a smaller power cell. The violet blade produced is longer, and half as thick as other lightsabers. Arca wields his saber in a unique stance. His saber is held out in front of him with his right hand, while his left is clenched firmly in the small of his back. His style of one-handed fighting offends several Jedi, as they see it as arrogant and prideful.
Arca, one of the younger members of the Council, is highly educated in the arts of many worlds.
He has spent his life studying various arts, and is most educated about the culture of the Core Worlds.
Arca is a calculating man, focusing on acute details and precision in every aspect, most importantly dueling.
Arca’s strength in the Force relies on the manipulation on energy fields. He lacks the ability to move things through the Force, however, limiting his ability in some aspects. His unique ability serves him well, for it often gives him an unexpected edge in battle.

Nairb
Name: Nairb Darkmoon
Nairb Darkmoon (human) was born on Corellia but was transferred to Etti IV at age six when his parents were forced away on "innergalactic business." He was trained for ten years on Etti IV by Jedi Master Tefflor'n. He shares deep bonds with Arca Jeth, his most trusted friend.
Nairb is of medium height and firm build. His ebony hair is often long and unruly, and his dark grey robes give him a striking image. His lightsaber was constructed with great care and was originally very intricate. It held a small black gem from an uncharted and backwater planet which gave it an eerie black glow. However, his blade was severed when negotiations with an undeclared Sith became violent. Nairb saved the crystal, reconstructing his black blade with a half-transparent hilt.
His fighting style is swift and light, comprised mostly of darting and whipping movements. He excels in manipulating the physical Force. Moving objects and altering speed are his greatest talents. Also, after many sparring sessions with Arca, his lightsaber skills are elite.
* * *
MarlFox
Name: Marlo Naw'hia
Species: Bothan
Homeworld: Kothlis
Gender: Male
Height: 1.8 Metres
Marlo Naw'hia is exceptionally tall for a Bothan, the average male being 1.5 metres tall. The Bothan are a wolf-like humanoid characterised by stocky builds and fur-covered faces. The fur acts as an emotional indicator, as different moods trigger different rippling responses on a Bothan's fur. The Bothans are renowned for their information-gathering techniques. For over 300 years these aliens have been cultivating a vast network of highly-trained operatives dedicated to gathering useful data. This reputation for skullduggery and deception has colored many a being's perception of them, which is why many criticised the Jedi Order for accepting Marlo Naw'hia into their ranks twenty years ago, when he was discovered by the Jedi on the lush, fertile planet of Kothlis.
He is now a Jedi Master, and excels at using the Force to lighten his body, enabling him to jump impossibly high and boost his agility and speed far beyond the abilities of most other Jedi. He has learnt to use his lightsaber in a way that compliments this. His padawan recently achieved the rank of Jedi Knight, and has decided to stay with him to further his training.
* * *
rogue jedi
Character: Rogue jedi (known by very few as Xander Karrath)
The rogue jedi is a strong build human jedi born on the planet Tatooine. He stands 6"3 and weighs just over 200 pounds. He has hazel eyes and dark brown hair which is trimmed short. His jedi knight robes and vest are black. The rogue jedi's lightsaber has also been modified to an extent. The hilt is much longer, almost the length of double bladed lightsaber. Due to the extra length of the hilt, a greater force behind each attack can be achieved, not to mention more rotations around his hands. Rogue's orange bladed lightsaber is also outfitted with a Krayt Dragon pearl and a Nestor crystal which were both family heirlooms from his father. Rogue's stance is very aggressive, his legs are evenly spaced at shoulder with, and his arms angled to his left leg in front. In battle, rogue will use a two hand style and go for critical strikes and parry when attacked with force. In an intense battle he will use feign attacks or give of a false sense of feeling. In the certain circumstance rogue will use a one handed style but rarely will throw his lightsaber. His footwork has allowed him great freedom of movement in battle. His key point is his general observation; he will pick up on a weakness or an assistance in battle and will use it to his benefit. He highly enforces this to his Padawan learners.
The rogue jedi was trained by Master Jedi Jurramonga. When rogue completed his training, Jurramonga had left completely and rogue was still quite young. He was enticed to the Dark Side and learned the powers of the Sith. In unaccounted events he killed his Dark Master and returned to the light. Rogue claimed there was nothing to be achieved in the Sith way. As he returned to the light he discovered a new force power which he has not used near any other Jedi (except Sith). He uses the Force with respect and a tool in his success. He lives by the ways of the old Jedi.
His hidden force power was discovered by his padawan learner, Darth Snyper, in training. This unique power has given rogue the power to create an illusion of himself or a person strong in his memory. He has honed this skill so that the illusion can use a non-lethal lightsaber. He uses the force to give the lightsabers blade reality and to see the battle through the illusions eye's
Rogue hopes to explore more of the galaxy and learn more languages. He is currently training Darth Snyper.

Mr. GloomyGutS
Character: Gloomy Guts (GG)
GG is one of the only Mandalorian Jedi in the history of the order. His heritage is reflected in his appearance, with short black hair, brown eyes and a 6'5" 180 lb, muscular body. His mandalorian blood seems to have given him the ability to wield his green lightsaber better than any padawan of his level, and even some of the higher trained padawans. His green lightsaber, though he wields it exceptionally, is no different from the standard lightsabers of the Jedi.
Despite GG's superior lightsaber skills, he still has much to learn. His feelings still get the best of him. Anger, nervousness, sadness and joy all cloud his everyday vision. His emotions often lead him to reprucussions from hesitation and tension, just to name a couple. But he is well trained in the dangers of the Dark Side and is determined, not only to prevent himself from joining the Sith, but to help eliminate it. GG is also weak in many uses of the force. He has trouble moving objects, and can only perform mind tricks on the weakest of the weak-minded.
GG is well-educated of much of the galaxy, spending much of his time, when not training, in the archives. He studies historic battles, and stories of the most heroic Jedi. While still in the early parts of training from Master Meathos, GG longs to leave the temple and use his abilities to the fullest where they are needed.

ARC Commander
Character: Wan-Dai Grepher (Grefer)
Wan-Dai Grepher is a short man standing at only 5' 7''. He bears the traditional white tunic with a brown belt, and a brown cloak. He uses a experimental lightsabree that has a switch that alows it to become asshort as the handle, or as long as a normal lightsabre doubled. the switch is actually a tiny bar that slides up and down the hilt to adjust the size. Since this takes much power from the crystal, the hilt is fitted with two extra crystals in case his lightsabre dies. He has one Blue eye and one Green eye. He is Human and weighs 195 pounds. His hair is brown with faint streaks of blond in it. His blade is Purple. He is still a Padawan learner, but is advancing with great skill.
His force skill is relatively weak, but he has a great skill. He has meraculusly mastered the skill of Berserking. He can go into a controlled fury, and use all the life and force around him to deliver massive blows with the force. Going in to the Berserking sage is very difficult for him though, and only lasts for about the length of the battle.

Lord_Revan
Character: Revan
Revan was once trained by a Master Jedi, but had turned to the dark side of the force. He has been in several wars and killed thousands. Despite all the power that was obtained by the dark side, Revan reailized that something was missing... companionship. Revan decided to unlearn what the dark lords have taught him and has choosen to seek the Jedi Council for help and redemption. Though, the Jedi Masters were reluctlant at first, they were able to use the force and peer into Revans head, understanding the vast emptyness that the dark side left within him. After carefull consideration, the Jedi Masters decided that Revan would once again be trained by a Jedi. Revan was reduced all the way back down to padawan learned, but he didnt care as long as he knew he would once again be a Jedi knight... and maybe someday a Master.

Sneasel Master:
Name: Kurs Fisto
Species: Nautolan
Kurs Fisto, grand nephew of the Nautolan Jedi Kit Fisto, is a Jedi not known to many, for he is usually meditating, not wandering the halls of the Temple. This Jedi stands at 5 feet and 5 inches, and usually has his ornamented tentacles dangling. He dons a dark, watery blue cloak and tunic, and usually goes bare foot. Clipped to his side is a very unornamented lightsabre that produces a not so long, slender, violet blade. As this Jedi is very Force sensive, he lacks in the lightsabre wielding field, using mostly a defencive lightsabre form. Though Kurs is strong-willed, he is unfortunaly drawn to water, even in the worst of circumstances. Underwater, though, he is a very agressive fighter, and is is almost unbeatable, even by other Nautolans.

RP Name: Damien Xero
Species: Human
Homeworld: Nar Shadda
Lightsaber color: Silver
Appearance: He is 6'2" and weighs 175. He isn't the most physically strong Jedi, but his Force power and grace with the lightsaber makes him a formidable foe. He wears his shaggy black hair down to his face which covers some of his tanned face and his hazel eyes.
Growing up on Nar Shadda, he lived on the streets as a refugee. He had to steal his food and often stole valuables from dangerous individuals. During his time on Nar Shaddda he learned to work with this mysterious gift he had since he was born. He didn't know at the time, but he, by himself had learned how to work with the force. Limited was his power, but he could lift things as small as a book and steal with ease. While walking on the streets he saw a shop keeper and a man with robes. On a hilt by his side, Damien saw a tube. It was shiny and looked valuable. He concentrated on his "power" and grabbed it. As soon as it was off his hilt the man turned around Damien could no longer grab on to it with his "power". The tube flew back towards the man and he caught it in his hand. Damien turned and ran but was caught in the air. The man walked up to him and set him down. He wasn't mad, in fact he had a smile on his face. He walked up to Damien and asked him if he wanted to leave Nar Shadda and train to become one of the galaxies' elite. Damien would leave his horrible life and start training to become a protector of innocents. Damien didn't think much of his Jedi training but wanted to leave his current life, so he agreed. Damien was 7 at the time.
His training proceeded fast. Since he was already familiar with the Force, he was in a class with older children. The Jedi that had found him, didn't take on a Padawan until Damien was of age. During the training in class, he always checked up on Damien. Damien exelled at working with the Force. His lightsaber style was different than most, he was unequaled in a classical form of lightsaber combat. His style was similar to that of Count Dooku. His saber, exactly the same, but it glew with a silver hue.
When he was 13, the Jedi that found him in the slums of Nar Shadda became his master. He was Jedi Master Felerial. At the age of 16, he and Felerial settled many disputes, and were known pretty well around the order. Many of the order thought he would make the rank of Master someday. At the age of 24 they council decided he was ready for the trials. He passed them without much of a challenge, and was knighted.

JRDirtbike114
Name: Kory Keto
Species: Human/Droid
Homeworld: Coruscant
Height: 6'8''
Age: 16
Gender: Male
Description: Tall, has robotic arms below the elbows and robotic legs below the knees. He wears baby blue leather armor over his usual white jedi clothing for show and has black boots. He always wears white gloves and high boots to hide the robotics. The robotic arms and legs make him seem tall and lanky, but in reality he is very muscular.
Bio: When he was 8 an evil Sith Lord, whose name he cannot remember, stormed in his home one day to murder his mother. Her screaming woke him up and he ran to his mother's aid. He took his dead mother's Silver lightsaber and attempted to stab the Sith Lord. The Sith Lord cut off his arms at the elbows and his legs at the knees and burned his left eye. Minutes later, some unknown man came and surgically attached robotic arms and legs to Kory and covered the upper righthand side (looking at him) of his face with a metallic unremovable mask. When his dad came home, Kory was wearing his hood low over his face and said, "Father, mother is dead and the man that killed her slightly disabilitated me." He seemed oddly calm and his father went mad. His father died days later and Kory joined the Jedi Academy 8 years later.
