NAME: Parthum Lucerne
FACTION: Jedi Order
RANK: Jedi Knight
SPECIES: Arkanian offshoot/Sephi
AGE: 50
GENDER: Male
FORCE SENSITIVE: Yes, trained.
ATTRIBUTES
Jedi Knight Parthum Lucerne is as calm and collected an individual as any one could hope to meet within the halls of the Jedi Order. Always seeming to wear a kind smile and an open personality the half-Arkanian is no stranger to striking up friendly conversation with passerby. In short order to anyone who has spoken to the man it would become very obvious that he possesses a very keen social intelligence and awareness about him. This comfort-ability in social situations, combined with his only slightly dry and witty sense of humor, make Parthum a very open and approachable being.
Aside from his intelligence, Parthum is of roughly average strength to most humanoids within the Order. He won't be winning any lifting competitions against a wookie, but is strong enough to hold his own. Where Parthum shines the most, in his humble opinion, are his sense of spatial awareness, agility and dexterousness. With reaction times and physical speed very much on the 'impressive' side of a humanoid, Parthum is no stranger to the concepts of 'fluidity and grace'.
PERSONALITY
In thought, as in words and actions, Parthum is a soft-spoken man on most occasions with a soft heart and very introspective mindset. While he isn't above tossing out a small joke here and there, particularly when around the younglings, he only does so once he is sure of exactly what he means to say. In addition to his more quiet, calm demeanor Parthum also exhibits a kindness to others that may be well and truly more earnest than many realize. On more than one occasion has someone accused him of having a 'false smile' and just be attempting to make the Jedi Order look good. Nevertheless Parthum is, at his core, a gentle person.
In more recent years, during his solitary meditations, Parthum has come to the conclusion that while he may detest the idea of taking another life the time has come that he will no longer be a 'good man that does nothing'. Instead, Parthum has spent his more recent years honing and practicing not only his skills in saber combat, but non-lethal Force techniques that would allow him to serve the true purpose of the Jedi Order, even in this time of war, as keepers of the peace for the whole galaxy.
BIOGRAPHY
Born to a Arkanian father and Sephi mother on the planet of Corellia, Parthum had a very average introduction to the Jedi Order. Though born from two non-Force Sensitive parents, Parthum was discovered to be strong with the Force as a very young child and taken into the Order. There Parthum was trained alongside the rest of the younglings on Telos until he became a young man, by human standards at least, and was appalled by what he heard, and saw, of the growing hostilities between the Jedi and their Exiled brethren.
Dismayed by what he perceived as a truly tragic state for the galaxy, Parthum ventured away from the Jedi Enclave on Telos where he continued his training in solitude among the wilderness. There Parthum found the tranquil plains and humble communities much more welcoming than the clamor of the enclave. So it was that he decided to stay on Telos, training and studying in peace until one day Parthum felt a disturbance in the Force. Not knowing what this disturbance was or, even worse, how to react Parthum did all that he knew and decided to meditate in isolation in order to discover the source of this disturbance.
Travelling the width and breadth of Telos in solitary meditation Parthum eventually came to a site that would be one-day known as the Mirror Caverns of Telos. Here Parthum could feel the harmonious singing of the Force in balance and, contented, Parthum knew what he must do. For five years did Parthuum dwell in the Mirror Caverns, coming out only to buy supplies, trade and speak to the locals. Eventually, Parthum slowly unraveled what this disturbance in the Force he had felt so long ago had been. Internal strife, discontentment, burned like a smoldering fire in the belly of the normally-placid Jedi and though he would never tell another soul he came the closest in his life to falling to the Dark Side that day as anger welled up within him at the thought of what the Exiles were doing to the galaxy.
Day after day did Parthum slip bit by bit to the encroaching darkness, his ability to center himself slowly loosening like an ever-failing grip. Finally, with no other recourse to him did Parthum open himself truly and fully to the Force for answers, and answer it did. Singing to him like the song of the purest instrument did Parthum find a singular, glimmering silver crystal formation within the caverns. Immediately, Parthum knew what he must do. For weeks did he toil, 'forging' himself a new light-saber and with each click of a piece into it's place, with every resonance of the crystal with the mechanisms of the saber and his own heartbeat, did Parthum's resolve spring to the life in the same moment his Light-saber did. His anger, tempered by days of toil, diminished by years of reflection, was gone. As Parthum emerged from his years of solitary meditation and set out to return to the Telos Enclave, he stumbled across a trader selling a small reptile, a Nudj to be exact, and desiring at least some form of companionship after years in isolation Parthum spent the last of his credits to buy the little creature before setting off to return to the very place that had raised him, resolve the only emotion burning in the Jedi Knight's heart.
POWERS
In conjunction with his belief in the Jedi being protectors and mediators, Parthum's abilities in the Force barely extend into what one could call any deadly offensive capabilities outside of potential applications of telekinesis. Instead, Parthum favors ending combat as quickly and in as non-lethal a manner as possible, adamant in his belief that the Jedi should be more focused on preserving peace and the balance of the Force than winning a physical war. For him, this war is a spiritual one even more-so than a material one.
When concerning his offensive capabilities, Parthum possesses a focused proficiency in the application of a handful of non-lethal combative abilities as well as those focused more firmly around the protection and restoration of his allies. When it comes to his ability to enhance his own body with the Force in an active capacity, Parthum specializes much more on achieving as much speed and precision as possible, rather than amplifying his strength much more than he feels necessary. Parthum is also adept at the use of Force Sight and other sensory enhancing abilities, not particularly gifted, but passable enough in most situations.
Of special note, Parthum bears a special capacity for the use of the Shatterpoint ability though he has had little chance to actively apply it in either social or combative applications due to his isolation.
SKILLS
Owing to his preference for calm, flowing agility and grace over brute force and violence, Parthum is naturally acclimated to the fluid, graceful motions of Form II Makashi and is quite proficient with it. In addition, Parthum has not forgotten the equally important role of the Jedi as a diplomat, peace-keeper and adherent to the Force. Thus Parthum also maintains a proficiency with Form VI Niman. Outside of these forms, Parthum's knowledge of the other forms is only rudimentary at best. Enough to recognize them when they are implemented against him but, for now, not much else.
Outside of his skills with a light-saber, Parthum is all but inept as a pilot and would just as rather be a passenger as attempt to fly anything. As one could also likely expect, his skills with technology and hacking are equally lacking.
Parthum, due to this many years meditating and wandering alone, also has a very good sense of direction and a rugged toughness against the elements someone simply growing up in the temple would not possess. He also became rather proficient at tracking and 'natural' stealth as he roamed the wilderness of Telos.

Same defensive capacity as Jedi Dueling Armor. Has added plates to chest for additional protection.
