NAME: Keiv Tal
FACTION: Border Allaince
RANK: Lieutenant
SPECIES: Kel Dor
AGE: 33
GENDER: Male
FORCE SENSITIVE: Yes(Trained)
APPEARANCE:
Keiv is 5'11 and weights 181lbs , with typical orange skin of a Kel Dor. He wears a very simple style of breath mask that all Kel Dor require for travel off their home world of Doren.
ATTRIBUTES:
Keiv's training has given him a balanced athletic body, strong enough to lift his own body weight several times and perform feats of finesse and acrobatics without the aid of the force. He is possessed of above average intelligence and wisdom due to his long studies on history and philosophy with the Jedi and a decent tactical mind gained from studying old battles between the Republic and Sith forces. His training and the natural use of the light side has put Keiv in great health and his races thick skin has prevented many long term injuries.
Due to Keiv's moral compass he can tend to jump into situations that he other wise shouldn't. He also lacks any training in fire arm use really only knowing how to point and shoot a blaster. Keiv can also tend to be a bit Naive when it comes to matters of living outside the Jedi Order as he's still trying to intricate into normal society.
PERSONALITY:
Keiv like many of his race tends to view matters of morality in matters of black and white. To Keiv good is good and evil is evil, there is no gray area. This has lead him to conflict many times, though he is staunchly against killing unless it can't be avoided. His family taught him extensively in martial arts and his light saber even acts as a non-lethal weapon.
When it comes to social situations Keiv is relatively easy going with a dry sense of humor. He can tend to blend into the back ground though and is a bit forgettable. He doesn't mind this though as it can tend to make his work easier. Many do find him easy to talk to however and due to his extensive study of history some even seek his advice, making sure not to repeat the errors of the past.
BIOGRAPHY:
Keiv has been a part of the Jedi since the day he was born. His family was a bit of a dynasty among the jedi, having been present from it's earliest days. Keiv was proud to be a part of his family and the order. His training began earlier, which Keiv took to quite easily. The Tal family took a different approach to combat, focusing on hand to hand combat and non lethal combat techniques. Though the use of the lightsaber was also taught but was always left up to the Tal youngling to choose.
The young Kel dor also adored the old tales of the Jedi. Particularly of the old wars with the Sith. He'd never admit it but he dreamed of battling the Sith in open combat, testing his abilities to their fullest. This lead him to take to history lessons quite well. He learned all he could about the old order beliefs and philosophies taking to heart the ideas of the Jedi being the beacon's of light in the galaxy.
Keiv continued to be an excellent student mastering his family's martial style, while also taking up form 6 of Niman. He felt the style fit him as he could never find a single form fit him. So Niman's focus on element's from every lightsaber form that came before it appealed to him. Many of his fellow Padawans would find that the forms general nature did not make him any less duelist. When it came time to complete his final lightsaber, Keiv wanted something that would be unique and help incorporate his need for a non lethal weapon. To this end he designed a unique hilt that could also act as a short staff or billy club. He realized this hilt would be extremely vulnerable to strikes from other lightsabers. He knew of metals from his studies. His elders approved his leave to find some of this metal known as Phrik.
He looked for several months finally coming to an old world on the Outer Rim. The Planet Trian contained a now abandoned mining operation once said to belong to the ancient Sith. Keiv assumed the mine was used to fuel the Sith war machine of passed ages. He explored deep into the mines at first thinking he would be disappointed, as the the mine seemed to be dry. Entering one chamber he finally found it. A small vein but it would be enough. He managed to dislodge the ore when suddenly all of his senses screamed at him of danger. He managed to dodge the attack of force push of the assailant and turned on his training saber. He watched as a dark hooded human stepped out of the shadows. "Ah finally...a jedi. You're death will pave my way to becoming a true sith!"
The battle with the acolyte was a crueling brawl and after several minutes Keiv had the young sith on the ground. "Yield! I'm taking you back to the Jedi. If you are a Sith you must answer for your cimes," Keiv huffed as he gave his command. "Hahaha...I'd rather die then be a prisoner of you weak jedi!" as he finished the sith lunged forward and impaled himself on Keiv's saber. Keiv steps back disgusted. All he can do was stare at the lifeless body...and the acolyte's smiling face. Before he can do anything else a great cracking sound resounded through the cavern and large chunks of the cave ceiling began to fall. Using what strength he has left the padawan made his way back out of the cave, and managed to escape just as the cave entrance collapsed.
Upon his return home, Keiv attempted to warn his elders about a possible Sith threat. They unfortunately brushed him off. The council simply believed he faced a rouge force user who had gained ancient Sith knowledge. The council did however convey to him the rank of Jedi Knight for his show of skill and ingenuity on his journey to collect his Phrik metal. Frustrated but also happy Keiv left the council room and began his life as a true brother of the Jedi order.
The following years were good for Keiv as he learned alot on his peacekeeping missions, many which eventually led to the use of his specialized lightsaber. He became known for seldom revealing its jade blade unless in situations of dire need. This continued until reports began to come in from the Outer Rim of possible Sith activity. Keiv rallied with his fellow nights and the newly appointed Jedi generals; ready to take the fight to this newly reformed Sith empire.
Still as the months went on he grew more frustrated with the Jedi's methods. He wanted to be on the front lines fighting beside the people of the galaxy to destroy the Sith. Not just for the jedi, but for all the people of the galaxy. Keiv had heard rumors of a few worlds coming together and forming a coalition to combat the Sith threat. With a heavy heart he gathered his few belongings and went in search of the Border Alliance. He knew this would likely mean his disavowment from the Order, but he knew he could do better on the front lines of the conflict.
