OOC: This is my first attempt to create a role-play and my role-playing skills will be a bit rusty. Please, don't worry about it or try to make me feel bad, just be nice and polite about it. The more I role-play with you guys, the better experience I will get because role-playing is my favorite hobby and pass-time.

[This RP basically involves around anywhere on Tython and/or the Monastery, so it don't really require much. you can use any character you want tho :)]

Prologue
Takumi Kaito's training has been going well with his master, Aden Vaal. Takumi keeps a daily maintenance routing during his lifetime on Tython in his new home. So far, he likes his new lifestyle in the Monastery, he has good friends, lives in a clean environment and he is starting to get familiar with the places he explores. Every morning, he will wake up and take care of his personal needs; such as taking care of his hygiene, minding his posture and putting on clean, padawan robes from his closet. During the morning he will go to the dining area so he can fix himself a spot of breakfast and pour his morning tea. He shares most of his mealtime with the masters and some of the other padawans; he mostly likes to spend his social time with his master, since he enjoys his master's company and friendship; it's like he's formed some kind of bond with him.

After breakfast, he would get ready for his training sessions with his master. He trains to use Force Vision and telekinesis to aid in his combat training and Force training. He trains in both of the exercises because he chose to pursue the role of the Jedi Sentinel, mostly because Takumi prefers to live in balance; gaining knowledge and experience of combat and non-combat subjects in a slow and steady pace. Then, after his training sessions are complete for the day and after his lunchtime, he spends the rest of the afternoon in relaxation by walking in steady paces outside of the monastery with his eyes shut entirely. In doing so, he calms his mind and focuses on the nature of the environment he is surrounded by. During his nature walk outside and around the monastery; using only the Force to see while wearing his blindfold, he becomes familiar with the scent of the plants and flowers, the voice of the wind, the cleanness of the air through his nostrils and enjoying the softness of the clean, green grass that brushes his feet. He exercises to ignore the discomfort of his physical strength and simultaneously keeps an open mind and an open heart of his surroundings.

As evening arrives and darkness falls upon the sky and the sparkling starts come out, he takes off the blindfold and goes back inside the monastery. He will go to the dining area to prepare supper and tea for him and his master as a symbol of respect, courtesy and friendship; he will even share social time with his master during suppertime. Then after supper, Takumi will retire to his quarters and prepare for bed. But before he goes to sleep, he meditates to quiet his mind and body completely to preserve his strength and resources for the next day.

For a weekly routine, Takumi will leave the monastery for the day and spend time in the Tython city, so he can exercise social and vocational skills. He does this every weekend to show his master how well he can interact with other cultures, species and the different environment they live in.

----------------------

Beginning the Play
The sun rose up from the sky and lit up the room to Takumi's quarters in the Tython Monastery. Takumi woke up just as soon as the sun's rays touched his eyes and stood up on his two feet. After taking care of his personal needs, he dresses into his padawan robes and began his morning exercises after taking out a tiny, green ball - that's a size of a pinball - and places it on the table. He then took out his blindfold, sat on top of his bed with his legs crossed, puts on the blindfold and begins his meditation.

As he meditates, the ball telekinetically hovers from the table and floats towards Takumi's face. The ball hits his right cheek softly and drops onto the bed and rolls on the floor. After that, Takumi regains his focus and levitates the ball up to his nose. He then uses his Force Vision to see though his eyelids and the thickness of his blindfold. The vision was a little blurry in a grayish, black and white image and sees the ball. He moves the ball quickly to his face and swipes the ball with his right hand and the ball hits his chair.

Takumi levitated the ball again, and takes out another tiny ball from his backpack. Two of the balls hovered next to each other and shoots at him without any warning. Takumi quickly defends himself by moving only his hands by striking the balls one-by-one. One ball hits the wall and the other hits the window; luckily the glass didn't break. Takumi finished his Force exercises and wakes from his meditation. He gets up off of his bed and then goes to the dining area make breakfast and morning tea for himself and his master.

"Beginning log entry: Today is a weekend and I hope my master will appreciate what I am doing for him by making breakfast for him," Takumi recorded a log entry on his datapad as he starts to feel grateful and honored to have Aden as his mentor and friend; other than just being as his master alone. "I also want him to know how much I mean to him and that I honor our friendship. I have learned, from experience, that he is a kind and loving person. He has an open mind and an open heart. He's more than a master and mentor, he's like a brother or father to me. I hope that someday, I will be as wise as he is. Like him, I want to share my knowledge with others too and pass my wisdom across. Well, I hope I learn something new today when I go for a walk in town, and hope someone will let me assist him or her. End of log entry."

The datapad automatically shuts off after Takumi finished making a journal entry and continues making pancakes and eggs while waiting for his master to arrive in the dining hall.

The Nail, Yuki'squa's Speeder, sunk deep into a large body of water, only after Yuki got off. She swam until she reached land, then dried herself up. It was a padawan's dress she dried off, and her hair had two braids that needn't drying. The length of her hair was shorter, but it still had its blue neon color. Her height was five inches shorter, and she had a teenager's face. A teenager's smile, a teenager's scowl, a teenager's shrug . Physiologically, she was a teenager. Although, a plain looking teenager.

Tython. It was her third time visiting the planet; post-banishment (would someone even know a scientist named Yuki'squa ever lived here?). That was her vice, really. She'd visit the planet filled with Force adepts, able to take her down in a flash, just to feel that vague sensation of the past. Not only that, she risks her sanity for a temporary feel good therapy. She knows the dangers of her memories surfacing. But so far, nothing has happened. Yet she knew she'd still be stupid enough to risk it a fourth time, if she ever gets out of Tython alive.

But there was no worry. She never worries even in dire situations. Her existence there in Tython is as minuscule as a single soldier ant's existence. No. Perhaps her existence is tinier, an amoeba? No. Definitely, her existence in Tython matches that of an atom. Virtually insignificant, but there. Like the unseen atoms, the Jedi ignored her and left her free to frolic.

Upon frolicking, she spotted a bird who flapped one wing, but kept the other. It was clear what happened, and she knew the remedy. Once she got hold of it, she covered it in soft, warm, white light. It fell asleep, after feeling the kind sensations, and dreamed of what birds normally dream.

A defenseless bird, she thought, shouldn't be left on the ground. It's only mechanism of survival was taken from it. It's consciousness was nullified. Evolution has not been kind to this species of bird by giving it such small talons. So she went to the nearest home, and knocked on the door, to leave the bird in the hands of a Jedi. Because the Jedis are compassionate. . . They still are, aren't they?

Takumi spent most of the time in the city, for most of the day, as he helped an Ithorian with his broken down speeder. Although Takumi is very skillful with making repairs with mechanical equipment, he gets clumsy every now and then. He often drops the hydrospanner and shocks himself on and on. The Ithorian surely appreciated the boy's help.

Just as the repairs were nearly done, Takumi looked over his shoulder and sees somebody at the door to the Jedi Monastery up the walkway by the water. He puts the hydrospanner into the toolkit and gives the toolkit back to the Ithorian pilot.

"I am grateful for your help, friend," said the Ithorian. The Ithorian reached into his pocket and offers to reward Takumi with credits. "Here take these credits."

Takumi shook his head as he smiled faintly. "Nah, you hold on to the credits. You keep them just in case you need to buy further parts for anymore repairs. There's also a mechanic's shop nearby, they may help you with your speeder as well."

"You're very generous, safe travels to you," The Ithorian puts the credits back into his pocket and speeds off on his swoop bike.

Takumi telekinetically grabbed his toolkit and walked up the walkway back to the Monastery where he sees Yuki'squa for the first time. He walks up behind her to offer her assistance. "Hello, ma'am," Takumi greeted and smiled. "Is there something I can help you with?"

Yuki'squa saw the child, and after he finished his question she presented him the bird. It looked asleep. "Might you take care of this bird for me," Yuki'squa said. "I'm not from Tython, and I cannot take care of this little thing."

She then took the child's toolkit, and ignored any protests to come. The bird had to be in the hands of a Jedi, so she freed the youngling's current occupation. "I'll hold this for you," she said. "I'll teach you a trick if you promise to take care of this bird for me..."

Zolotoy had just finished a day training with his new Master, Haven. He'd been practicing Force Concealment with little progress. Infuriated by this, Zolotoy decided to take a breather by taking a walk in the gardens. He spotted another Jedi with a strange woman.
"Hello, may I help you?" asked Zolotoy. "If you've not made an appointment, I'm afraid you'll need to speak with someone for permission to be here. Ever since the war started, security has been hightened. Please state your purpose for being here or please leave."

Takumi saw another Jedi come towards him and the woman. He realized that security is strict, possibly galaxy-wide, and that there's still a lot of bloodshed going on overhead. However, non of the harsh activity or anything else was going to cause Takumi to panick. He felt the male Jedi was cautioning the woman. 'I must keep my concentration, here and now, where it belongs. Focusing on the future may cause things to be put out of place and unwise. So, for the time being, we need to keep the balance in the galaxy regardless of events or suspicious activity,' he thought to himself, 'nevertheless, I must be mindful of the events that are currently ongoing. Unnecessary risks and suspicions will be illogical.'

"Hello, Zolotoy," Takumi greeted. "This woman was in need of help and brought a poor, injured life-form to the Monastery. Would you mind taking a look at this bird with me?"

Takumi looked at the woman and picked up the bird from her hand and examined the poor creature. Then he closed his eyes for a minute and initiates his Force Vision ability to look at the creature's aura and try to get a reading on the bird. 'I must not use emotion,' he thought in his mind, 'if I do, I must abort my progress for the day and meditate to cleanse the body and mind.'

The Jedi are to be peacekeepers, not soldiers, and definitely not veterinarians, complained Zolotoy. Because we self-righteously think we can solve everyone's problems, we meddle in matters we don't belong. And this is why we get conned into tasks like this. He eyed the woman. "Excuse me, but do I know you? You look familiar?"
Before an answer could be given, Noshi arrived. Zolotoy's attention immediately focused to the newcomer. Neti weren't that common, especially in Tython.
"I am looking for another copy of a certain book," the Neti Noshi had said. "Mind helping me please?"
"We're not a library, nor a vet," Zolotoy glanced in the direction of the woman when he had said the latter part. "This is a Jedi monastary. Unless you have legitiment reason to be here and have been given permission to be here, I suggest you leave."

[Sorry, I just have to post here to inform you lot of something, as I am the Master of the Tython Monastery. Unless your character trains there, or is an actual part of the Jedi-Order and has been given knowledge of the planets location, one does not know where Tython is. Noone does. Especially since it's in the Deep Core-region.]

[If those credentials don't apply to your character, you're not going to be on that planet.]

A man appeared, and he was cautious. She didn't know there was a war, but an event like war is often trivial. The man asked if he knew her, she could corrupt him and whisper to him that she's a native, but she was not in the mood, and another Jedi appeared. (No one knows her.)

He ignored her, Takumi, and the bird. She ignored him.

She laid the toolkit on the ground and held the child's hand with the bird. She grinned when a warm bright light envelopes the bird and the hand. She looked at the child's reaction. "It begins by understanding the injury, and then applying what you know and feel," she said about healing. "The first step is benevolence. Everything else is common sense. Be attentive to small details," she said to the child.

When she stood up the man had told her to leave. She walked away from them.
