  Aralot'or lived for the first 7 years of his life with his parents and brother, Lintu'or on the planet of Avidich. They were simple people that cultivated edible lichen for a living. They weren't rich but neither were they poor. When he was 4 years old his brother disappeared when they were visiting the nearest village. The search went for days but they never found him in or around the village. His parents were devastated by the loss of their son but managed to give it a place in their lives. Three years later they would send their second son away. In a local school he showed signs of force sensitivity and they advised Aralot'or's parents to get him tested. This was not easily done and always postponed until two years later a jedi crash-landed on Avidich. He tested the boy and advised his parents to allow him to take him to the jedi academy. When Aralot'or said his goodbyes he made his parents a promise that he would find his lost brother.
  
  When he arrived at the academy he couldn't help but feel at home. He quickly showed excellent skill with the lightsaber and devoted a lot of time to the forms. After he had sufficient knowledge of the basics of form I he turned his attention towards the forms III and IV. The more he trained in lightsaber combat to more he discovered that he relished in it. There was nothing he enjoyed more than a good lightsaber training, and later fight. It would also pull him towards form VII. While he also trained in telekinesis and force augmentation he neglected the more scholarly aspect of his studies.
  
  During the destruction of Thyton he was tasked with finding his first kyber crystal from the caves on Ilum. Together with his new master. Master Thunu, a jedi master skilled in the art of the lightsaber forms.They hoped Master Thunu could guide Aralot'or to a more restrained way of lightsaber combat and shift his focus more to his scholarly studies. When they heard about the destruction of Thyton they set course to the Temple of the Whills to further his training.
  
  Two years before the battle on Ithor, Aralot'or, together with jedi master Thunu, was send out on numerous skirmishes en battles. This had often put him at odds with his master because of his rash nature and habit to rush head first into battle. He'd prefer to be right in the middle of the battle together with his troops.
  
  During the battle on Ithor, Aralot'or managed to pass the first three trials to become a jedi knight. During an assault he, together with his master came face to face with a sith. He managed to destroy the sith warrior but at the cost of his master's life. He continued to fight alongside the troops and the jedi managed to defeat the sith and free the planet from the empire. He completed the last two trials after he returned for Ithor at the Temple of the Whills.
  
  While the first three trials were the most dangerous ones it was the fourth one that was the hardest. When he was in meditation for the trial of the spirit he got stuck in a vision where he saw his old village destroyed and bodies scattered through the streets. A cloaked figure with a yellow lightsaber standing over the corpses of his parents. During a short rage fueled battle he managed to strike the helmet off of the attacker only to find his own face staring back at him.
  
  After he completed the last trial he was promoted to jedi knight and he awaits his first mission.

  The few years he lived with his parents on Avidich gave his father the time to hammer in the difference between right and wrong and those are lessons he still lives by. While Aralot'or is a loyal member of the jedi knights and he does try to follow their teachings to the best of his abilities. However when his orders go against his view of right and wrong he is known to ignore the orders given to him and handle the situation as he sees fit. This has often put him at odds with his jedi masters during his padawan years.
  
  He tries to be a calm and restraint person and does his best to keep his emotions under control as is the jedi way. Towards others he is easy going and friendly. He likes to make friends and likes to believe that he is liked by most people he meets. However, sometimes he can be seen as somewhat brash In battle battle he tends to give in to the adrenaline. This often leads to him making rash decisions which can lead to him biting off more than he can chew.
  
  The death of master Thunu hit him hard since they were quite close. This has resulted in him trying to get less attached to friends and people.

  Aralot'or is a warrior through and through. As such he is highly skilled lightsaber duelist. He is a very good grasp on the basics found in Form I. While he is nowhere near a master of Form III he is capable of deflecting multiple blaster shots from multiple directions for long enough to close in on the enemy. He is also capable in Form IV of lightsaber combat. He prefers to use the wide, fast and powerful sweeps in combination with acrobatic jumps and dodges to fight of multiple lightsaber wielders at once. However it is Form VII where he really excels. The viciousness of the attacks and the unpredictability came as second nature to him. It took him years of practice and while he hasn't yet mastered the Form it is his go to form in combat.
  
  After years of lightsaber training Aralot'or is in peak physical condition. He is also a very capable acrobatic which he uses alot during combat. Especially when Using Form IV.
  
  Contrary to his lightsaber skills he is a lousy shot and can't land a single hit with a blaster or any other type of fire-weapon.
  
  He has some basic piloting skill. While he's capable of flying a spacecraft from point a to b he is absolutely no use in a dogfight. He will often prefer to fly on a transport ship instead of piloting a personal spacecraft.

  He is trained as a jedi and the force is just as strong in him as is any other jedi knight. However he hasn't spend nearly as much time in his studies of the force as he has in his use of the lightsaber. Instead he has chosen to learn powers that would help his combat abilities like force augmentation and force sense. He is capable to use the force to augment his speed and power. He is also capable, to a degree, to sense incoming blaster bolts directed at his back and deflect them with his lightsaber.
  
  He has spend the most time on force telekinesis and while he is nowhere near to being a master in it he does have some tricks up his sleeve. He is quite capable in the use of force pull and push as these are some of the very first force uses he was taught. As such he has spend most of his time studying the force to enhance his abilities with force push and pull. He is also capable to create a telekinetic wave around him that can push objects and beings in a circle around him away with quite some force. Recently he has also started to learn to create a telekinetic sphere around him capable to send everything and everyone, closer than 3 meter, around him flying away. He can use his telekinetic powers to lift smaller to medium sized objects and throw away. He still needs to train on his aim though.
  
  Apart from that he has spend almost no time learning about any other applications of the force. He has no knowledge on energy manipulation or force healing and doesn't know how to use them. He also lacks the skill and willpower to use the force to alter another person's mind or mental state and has no real interest to learn it.
  
  His most commonly used force powers are as followed (but not limited to)
  
  • Force Augmentation
    • Force speed - apprentice
    • Force Strength - apprentice
    • Force Jump - apprentice
  • Force Sense
    • Force Sight - apprentice
  • Telekinesis

    • Force push - expert

      • Force repulse - novice
    • Force throw - apprentice

I'm sorry for the problems with the formatting, but I'm still getting used to it. For some reason the skills tab keeps splitting in two and I have no idea why that happens. I'm going to bed now so will try to fix that tomorrow.

So far, it seems like a great app. However, he doesn't seem to have any real weaknesses. You might want to add a flaw or something that he can't do well, for the sake of balance.

Well he's no use in dogfighting. and his other uses of the force are quite limited. He is no good at energy manipulation, force healing, mental manipulation, ... instead having mostly focused on telekinesis, and dabbled a bit in augmentation and force sense.
but if it's better to specifically add in the sheet that he is no good at the other force uses than I can do that.

There is a glitch that happens with some formats from time to time where it copies an existing code, such as a code that colors text, and adds it somewhere. This redundant code will have no effect most of the time, but some times it can cut a section in half, specially if it's formatting code such as abox or justify. Looking through your formatting, I noticed some redundant size and list codes that could be throwing you off. Only way to fix it is to shift through all the coding and deleting the extra codes.​

I just copied the codes from one of the example formats in a sticky thread though. Right now it seems to be oke. It only happens when I edit something. I wouldn't even know where to start with deleting the extra codes.

Yeah, the redundant coding seems to only occur when you go to edit the post, in this case your character's profile. I'm about to head out for a couple hours but I'll take a look at your coding and see if I can find a fix for it real quick.

EDIT: @Aralot'or

Okay, so there are two different ways to look at your formatting, the default one is called "Rich Text Editor." Basically when you change say the color of the text when using Rich Text Editor, it automatically changes the color of the text right then and there so you can see the effect. The other method of viewing your formatting is through the BB Code editor. When you go to type out a post or edit one you need to fix, there is a pencil icon in the top right hand corner, click that and you can see each and every code. Now, forewarning, until you get use to whatever format you tend to use this might seem overwhelming.

Here's an example of what your seeing verses what I'm seeing.​

He has a brother: Lintu'or. Lintu'or was taken from his family at the age of 4. several years before a jedi came and gave him the opportunity to join the jedi ranks. He accepted and vowed he would use his training to find his brother an bring him home. [/tab]

Things that read like this with nothing but a space between it,

[SIZE=3]  [/SIZE]

or even other coding such as

[SIZE=3][/tab] [/SIZE]

in both instances the size coding is redundant because it's not actually affecting anything. In other instances redundant coding can have an undesired effect on your formating.

Basically, Rich Text Editor will show you, for the most part, what your post will look like after you post it, while the BB Editor shows you exactly what codes are being used. When your working on something that uses a lot of codes and formatting, such as a character profile, people tend to swing back and forth between the two editors, I think this might be what causes the redundant coding, but it could be caused by just about anything. It's a pain sometimes, especially when you have to sit there and pick your way through 3 hours of formating to find the one code that's out of place, but the more you play around with the coding and formatting the faster you'll get at finding the errors.​

I must say, I do love the looks of the armor and saber hilts you have selected.
State somewhere in the gear section that the armor is equivalent to Jedi Modular Armor. That way there can be no confusion as to how many hits the armor set can take.

If you have not already done so, post in the Jedi Sign Up board and read a little about the Jedi's current status.

I wouldn't say that he's necessarily good at everything. He doesn't really have any major flaws but designing characters is really up to the player. He is brash, so you could use that to create tension in RPs. His personality would also lead him to bite off more than he can chew when it comes to opponents.

I'd like to hear more about how his master's death affected him but that's not required.
After a Jedi AFL approves him you're good to go. ;)​

I've made some changes. Added the jedi modular armor added a bit to his personality tab and added a short part on how his master's death affected him. It also created another tension/relationship with the knights I think.

I've made some changes and it's all messed up again. I can't really find any redundant coding but I'll keep looking and trying. Man I suck at this..

I can take a look at the formatting when I get home if you want.​

That would be nice of you but really I don't want to take up too much of your time. I'll try and fix it.

It'll only take me abput 15 minutes to be honest, I'd do it now but I'm on mobile.​

Fixed it. Disable the rich text editor (second box under Options) when editing CP; it will help.

My bad, I didn't notice that. Disregard my earlier statement.

No problem. I've added it in anyway.

 

[Valen Pelora]

Hey @Aralot'or! I have a few comments before approval

• Skills: I don't have anything wrong with detailed description or the Lightsaber forms. I think listing out Force powers is always a little dangerous because of the difference between Legends and NuCanon. I do think the Force Powers seem overboard given the heavy emphasis on his saber skills. I also (although not everyone agrees with me on this) consider Force Crush to be a Darkside power. In my mind, crushing your enemy is pretty darksided.
• Personality: No issues here.
• Attributes: This is a common theme in the profile but this reads that he is pretty much good at everything. His "weaknesses" aren't really weaknesses. I see that he is not good at dog-fighting, that is 1 weakness among a whole much of strengths. We encourage the character to have depth and therefore real weaknesses. I would consider adding more in.
• Biography: I only have a couple of issues. It sounds like he was a member of the Jedi Order, how did he survive the destruction of Tython and come to join the Army? What Jedi Academy is he routinely returning to? Second, when a Jedi completes their trials outside the temple they still have to complete the aspects of the trials. It would be helpful to have some context for that. Finally, it is unlikely the council would knight an Initiate who was in such a deep emotional spiral he botched his very next assignment.

Tag me when these things have been addressed!

 

[Mad Dog]

Hey, so firstly the layout of your force powers is very nice, I like the format you used.

Just to make sure you're aware, armor used by force users cannot provide any function at all for the balance of the site, therefore is simply cosmetic.

@Dark child And @Valen Pelora had some great points, I'd definitely heed their words.

Other than those things, your profile looks great and I'm very impressed by your grasp of the coding already. You're doing great, if you have any questions don't hesitate to ask.
