BIOGRAPHY:
Ethan was born on the planet of Kashyyyk. He was great at everything right after being born. When he turned two he was taught how to use tools and other objects. When he was 2 and a half his father went to war and never came back because of being killed. After that Ethan was sad for a while and sat sadly in his room for years and years. He would build and build stuff. When he ran out of stuff to build he would take stuff apart and put it back together.

Then at age 4 he finally came out of his room. However he got picked on all the time by other wookiee's. While being picked on a 8 year old wookiee's named Chantang came and was best friends with Ethan for a long time. Chantang did everything that Ethan's dad would have done. Chantang would teach me how to build better stuff and shoot a blaster when making it to age 6.

Ethan was took by Chantang out to the forest and they built forts shot trees and swung on vines. Ethan had a ton of fun during his 6th year. Then a challenge came towards his 7th birthday when Chantang got a job and had no time to spend with ethan. Ethan then got sad again and stayed in his room for awhile. Then at age 8 Ethan got to spend more time with Chantang because he got a job at the same place as Chantang. Time grew with him grew longer and longer everyday and Ethan loved that.

Then at age 10 Ethan got sader as Chantang left to become a Jedi knight and would not ever see Ethan again. Then an amazing thing happened Ethan suddenly lost the ability to grow any taller than 5'5 for a while and was devastated. Later at age 12 he found things more difficult to do because of his height problem. Despite that he was still happy. One day right before his birth day he was messing around with a cargo ship and got trapped in it . He was took away from home and was dropped at the Jedi temple.

The next month a Jedi padawan found him and took him into the temple and taught him about stuff. Later a master walked into the room and sensed that Ethan is force sensitive. He gave Ethan a test and told him of his gift. Now at age 14 Ethan is in search of a master in a bad time because of the battle.

Alright friend this is a start, but we do need 50 words on that biography stat.

As for the personality, try to be more specific on the attributes you list, is he honest to a fault? Not knowing when a lie or leaving someone in the dark would probably be better? How is he intelligent? There is really no such thing as all around intelligence, is he book smart able to accumulate vast amounts of information for later use? Or perhaps he's quick on his feet, resourceful able to use changes to his advantage.

In what way does he use his wit? Is it a sort of dry sarcasm or is he a boisterous jokester?

In the end these are just suggestions, hope you have fun with your wookie friends.

Sorry, I don't have much else to add to the conversation. I just wanted to drop in and say something funny. :(

That said, good work on the charrie so far. Expand the biography, and you've got a good one to roleplay. ;)

Thanks I fixed it

I like the use of my character in your bio.

Just a few quick pointers.

Firstly, your attributes and powers are askew to my eyes. You can give yourself more force powers than that if you want provided that they are similarly basic. Telekinesis, Art of Movement and Telepathy are good starting powers as they allow you to use all of your core Jedi powers, including saber throw, push/pull, speed, leap, and the Jedi Mind Trick. If you are a Sith, Telekinesis also can be used for "Choke," which is really cool. From what I saw, you narrowed your options by being specific about the leap ability, and telepathy isn't even mentioned, so while you don't have to fix that, you easily could. In addition, he's too good at too many attributes, and his strength, dexterity, and constitution characteristics don't make sense given his height and weight.

That leads me to the second problem I'm seeing: the height problem. I don't know of any bug bite that will make a person stop growing, and it seems to be extraneous information that doesn't add very much to the character's backstory. At the age of 14 he isn't going to be extremely tall anyhow; why don't you just say that he was a "late bloomer" of some sort and play it from there? Or make up a disease and explain how it affects the pituitary gland's ability to produce growth hormone, or something like that? The explanation for a lack of height development doesn't need to be as arcane as what you have written down.

Finally, the Jedi don't typically accept older children into their ranks due to the fact that they have already established their own beliefs and doctrines, and this makes it difficult to indoctrinate them into the Jedi mindset. I'm curious as to why they made an exception in his case? That's plenty to be getting on with, so I'll shut up now. Good to have you on the site, bud.

Actually this last part is a common misconception there is no minimum age requirement for the New Jedi Order,
