Personality
[beebox3=100%]
A quietly rebellious young girl hailing from her homeworld of Coruscant, Emma Taylor has now joined the Jedi order as a Padawan to devote her life to ending violence and injustice in the galaxy. Emma is a calm, well-mannered girl who always applies caution before getting into risky situations. She is naturally energetic and is a light sleeper as a result.

Underneath her shy demeanor, lies a rebellious spirit with a taste for exploring just like any person of her age. This hidden streak is usually mischievously displayed through Emma's light-hearted and fun sense of humor. While she prefers to keep to herself for the most part, Emma still loves to meet new people and hang out with her friends.

Kind-hearted and compassionate, Emma is a pacifist who loves nothing more than helping the unfortunate and oppressed. She abhors any kind of excessive violence or mistreatment and will always stand up for someone if they are mocked or put down, despite being the shy person she is. Emma is a fast learner and studies by observation and exploring her surroundings.

Emma is habitually cautious and prefers to look rather touch, which can also be related to her taste for adventure. Emma loves to explore the Outer Rim and unknown places, but within safe distances and limits which are comfortable. Emma enjoys exotic foods and Corellian culture. She is fascinated by the Force and the Light Side, as they are things which are largely unknown to her.

Biography
[beebox3=100%]
Emma was born to the loving parents and Jedi Knights, named Sierra and John Bryant. When they found out that they were having a baby, they let everyone know that Sierra wouldn't be available for nine months at most. The masters of the Temple allowed the younglings to spend some time with Sierra while she was pregnant, giving her some company after their training was done for the day. Even though she was pregnant, Sierra helped out the best she could anyway she could. The other masters suggested that she shouldn't, but with her strong will and determination that she always had, she said that she was fine and moved on, continuing to help. Once Emma was old enough, she inherited this trait of her mother's.

Almost nine months had gone by and Sierra was worn down from stress, pain and tiredness. On their way to the medical ship, Sierra had already been in labor and with all the pain she had, one of her old injuries had been aggravated, causing it to tear and she lost a great amount of blood in the process. It was a few hours until the newborn was born and by the time she was, Emma's mother was too weak to survive and died minutes later. Emma's father, John, was devastated and scared of being the mother and the father at the same time. A few other Jedi volunteered to help John take care of the newborn child, as a few of them already had at least one child of their own. They had also found it to be more educational for the younglings and Padawans, so Emma had become three of the Masters' (including John) responsibilities to take care of and help with.

By the time Emma was two, she was already running around and randomly using her new power that she had recently figured out. The toddler always found it funny when all she would do is lift her hand and something like a small vase or book would randomly lift into the air for a minute or a few seconds before it would fall and make some sort of noise which would cause the toddler to giggle. It surprised some of the students quite a few times and Emma would run anytime someone would try to catch her. She was surprisingly fast, but the younglings and Padawans seemed to have no problems with it as they had just chased her until she was boxed in and couldn't go anywhere and then John would come over and pick her up, thanking the apprentices before taking the little one and putting her into her playpen to keep her busy.

Four years later, when Emma was six, she was starting to be trained in the ways of the force. Since she had already been experimenting since she was two, the force came pretty easy to her, but her father had her stay in the classes so she could learn the force properly and keep it under control other than having it uncontrollable and wild. By the time she was learning to use a lightsaber, she was excited and after lessons were finished for the day, she would always beg her father to continue her training. He accepted a few times, upon seeing her want for knowledge, but soon this all ended when John had gone on a mission and came up missing. Emma had found the other Jedi talking and she asked what was going on and they only told her that her father's mission had just been going longer than expected. Later in the day, the friend who had been with John during the masacre, Eric, had taken Emma to he side and told her what happened. The six year old broke down into tears and was found in depression, in which the masters worked hard on to help the young one push her feelings aside. In time, she coped with it, and was able to keep her cool in pressure. Between all of the Jedi lessons, Eric now took care of Emma because he felt responsible for the child. John had even asked him to take care of Emma, so it just made all of the more sense. He also helped teach her a few things, like tips and tricks she could use to outsmart tougher opponents if the need ever came. And in time, she would know how to do things in public without making a huge fool of herself in the future.

By the time Emma was ten, she was strong willed, very intelligent as she found her ways to trick the other students when they had free time. Emma was a huge trickster and loved being stealthy.

Now Emma is 14 and is a well mannered, intelligent student at the Jedi Temple on Lothal and she trains under Jedi Master James Thomas who takes great interest in Emma, as a master should, but sees more. She trains hard and works her best to continue learning in other aspects in not only the force and lightsaber training, but also using her mind as she learns about Jedi history and many other curicular activities.

Just a note, I have an issue with her being a hybrid with a Human and Togrutan.

Togrutans are very different from humans, not only is it a stretch that they could crossbreed, she has no visible signs that she's half togrutan. If she was, there would be very noticeable signs of her heritage.

It literally wouldn't even make sense for them to cross breed at all.

It makes less sense than Sith (species) and Humans crossbreeding via usage of alchemy.

Togrutans and Humans should be so far apart it's just impossible for any viable offspring to be produced. At all.

Thank you for letting me know. I couldn't find any pictures of Amanda Seyfried that would look Human/Togruti. This was mainly a plan I had made with Tristyn that we found to be a great idea; she has a character that's is same thing. Our thing was that they are family.

Anyway, should I just have her resemble more of a human being than togruti as I already have her, or are things fine the way they are? I'm just trying to figure out what needs to be edited.

Man, I'm having flashbacks to an earlier argument about how human-togruta mixtures wouldn't work.

At least in the real world, when we take two species that are sufficiently similar enough to crossbreed, we know that they are that way and it makes sense. Especially when the resulting offspring can't pass on its genetics.

But in this case?

If somebody started splicing genes from two such substantially different species, that both evolved on completely different worlds with no common heritage (this isn't star trek and they aren't all descended from the same progenitor species here), then there's no feasible way that the embryo could survive. At all. I'd be surprised if cells even started dividing.

Then how did @Tristyn make it work?

Honestly, I think you'd be better off not using a picture. A hybrid is a mixture of both, it isn't going to look like a normal blonde human, and it isn't going to look like your standard Togrutan. It's going to be somewhere inbetween. Whether or not that looks good? Up to whoever draws or imagines it.

If anything, you should probably use a well written description of what she looks like, using traits from both species in believable amounts.

Last I remember, @Tristyn was told "no" plain and simply regarding her hybrid, and said character that was a hybrid isn't anymore, and is just human. Unless I'm misremembering something.

But yeah, I'm just gonna put this really simply.

If she's a human-togruta hybrid, then you know what she is? She's a clump of cells with oddly mixed DNA that can only be seen in a petri dish under a microscope while a group of scientists are discussing and going "Yep, that's why Jerry was sued and sacked for malpractice." Go human, go Togruta.

Right now, though, it ain't Amanda being the mean girl, it's me.

(yay movie references)

Could I use the picture as reference? Or... I could just look more for a picture to see if I can find one.

And yes, I've experienced mean and I dont "mean" to be going there, but my dad has yelled at me enough today and I really dont wanna discuss what he said to me.

The image isn't the issue.

Also, I just looked.

@Tristyn's character is a Human-Kage hybrid, which I'm...moderately more willing to accept, because it could be argued that the Kage are Near-Humans, rather than just humanoids, like Togruta. Which would mean they're biologically descended from humans, from way in the past.

Which could work, the same way Homo Sapiens-Homo Neanderthalensis crosses worked.

This couldn't.

Not by any understanding of genetics whatsoever.

EDIT: And from what I remember dealing with mixed-species characters in the past, if it's something like this, it'd have to get approved by admins, anyways.

So, should I just do that then?

Plus I just found pictures that someone posted of a Human Togruta hybrid.

Here is a list of possible near-human hybrids you may choose from

If you are passionate, submit a species profile for a Human/Togruta hybrid :)

Until then, I would just accept Eli's suggestion. A Human-Kage hybrid sounds fine.

Yay for fanart that isn't supported by anything that makes sense whatsoever.

This is almost as goofy as the people that tried to re-write chemistry to get a glorified molotov cocktail approved.

Also, upon reading this, please remember that the Jedi do allow for romantic relationships in this timeline. This can be found in the History/Philosophy section of our nifty Jedi Guide. I would also suggest giving that a read-through first and foremost. They would not need to keep their relationship a secret, nor would they be ostracized for having a child. :)

If you have any further questions or want to bounce ideas, feel free to PM me or ask here.

There are a lot of things in this profile that need to change. On top of what the others have said. I'll list them easily and clearly here for you. When ALL of these have been addressed we can revisit.
  1. No Hybrids at all.
  2. Don't use real life dates. If you must have a timeline, use "Years before the battle of Felucia".
  3. There are a lot of name inconsistencies in this profile.
  4. Very uncomfortable approving a Jedi for the CRUSADING KNIGHTS OUT TO DESTROY THE SITH if you are against violence in all forms
  5. Padwan is not a rank I recommend for inexperienced players and we have a lot out there. You shouldn't be making a Padawan simple as that.
  6. Also very uncomfortable that this seems to be yourself in most aspects just changed for Star Wars/fantasy. Try stepping outside the box and make an adult that can get involved rather being a side piece.
  7. I will not approve a Jedi that is not even in the Order. She is self/family trained and has little/zero reference to actually training as a Jedi.
  8. OOCly you don't seem to have a grasp of what the story is or what the rules are. I'm willing to look beyond that but I need to see some evidence that this isn't the same story. If I approve this and later see her jumping factions, adding stuff, etc... I will take the approval away and retroactively request no Jedi in her backstory. If you make a Jedi you will be a Jedi. We do not often approve Jedi backstories outside of the faction and I am not willing to do so based on past events until you can prove yourself a bit more.
  9. I expect the whole thing to be rewritten, but the last paragraph in the biography means nothing and doesn't make any sense at all. It's a ramble that you'd hear from a small child that only the parents could understand and I know you write better than that.
I hope you can take this criticism and not think we're being "mean". These are things that simply need to happen. If you need help I know Ferre is happy to help. This is the START to the approval process. If you can address all of these and it doesn't become an argument we will work towards getting you approved. Otherwise I simply can't allow it.

Also, for that matter, I notice a mention of a "Master Reukli." Should I assume that means @Benvenu7's character, Jaleer Reukli? Did he give his permission for you to use his character in this backstory?

This was the argument put against me that caused me to make my character adopted -_- so sad

I remember he did.

My character is a hybrid and she was accepted minutes after being submitted.

Plus what's wrong with hybrids? The galaxy is vast place. There are gonna be MILLIONS of hybrids. It's only natural.
