BIOGRAPHY

Born Richard Xavier in 349 BBY, Richard spent his early years protecting the Morellian Commonwealth amongst the Morellian Enforcers. A deadly duelist and pisotlier, he quickly rose through the ranks and gained the moniker 'Quake' from how quickly he could fire off his sidearm. He would give the Enforcers many of his best years, all the while being Force Sensitive. With the Jedi Order so occupied with their own greatness, he would be overlooked as a child and his sensitivity wouldn't be discovered until he was already almost three hundred years old.

Due to his age, he grew to know Jedi Masters Yoda and Yaddle in passing as well as many other heroes of the Republic. It was during those years that he was hired as a merc to fight in the Mandalorian Civil Wars on the side of the Jedi. During one of the battles, he would stop a ship from crashing on other Jedi allies, a feat that seemingly garnered him some attention. Despite his age, other Jedi believed he deserved the right to train in the ways of the Force and who was he to say any different?

Richard would go on to train at the Temple on Coruscant, already well into his prime. Mastery of the force came naturally and with it the saber forms. He would go onto favor form VII, learning it alongside Quinlan Vos and A'sharad Hett, though in training, he was definitely the practice dummy. Good natured and taking life in stride, Richard found much joy in his time amongst the Jedi, namely the wandering musings of Legendary Master Yoda. One of his crowning achievements, however, was the construction of Skippy the Jedi Robot.

Then the Clone Wars came. A career soldier, Richard was one of the most eager Jedi to get in the fight as well as one of the hundred that went to Genosis to rescue Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker. He would get injured during the fighting, but he counted himself amongst the lucky that survived. Ignoring his injuries, he would go on to serve at the Battle of Atraken, the longest battle of the Clone Wars and the most devastating of the war. Between all the fighting and chemical weapons, 90% of the worlds population would perish as well as make the planet uninhabitable. It was during that eleven month long battle that the mental strength of Richard would begin to wane. Though it was probably best that he had stayed there, as he missed the Battle of Jabiim, his destined second battle.

His recovery would take longer then expected, the chemical weapons having done a toll on him. This led to his involvement in the Battle of Coruscant. He would take part in the fighting on the planets surface as droid dropships landed in waves distracting long enough for General Grievous to kidnap Chancellor Palpatine. Despite the hallucinations and exhaustion, Richard would find himself fighting with all his might during the battle, defending the Temple from the reach of the Separatist forces. Following the battle, he would spend a brief stint on Mygeeto serving under Jedi Master Ki Adi Mundi. He would deceive the Temple, telling them he was ready to return to active duty. He was not, and as such, got his whole unit wiped out during the middle of an episode. He would catch one of the last transports off of Mygeeto, weeks before Order 66.

Richard was there, at the fall of the Temple. Taking a stand against several squads of Clone troopers, he would buy time for the several Padawans, including Zett Jukasa to try to escape. Unknown to him, all the children that had escaped with his help, would never survive to leave the surface. Zett would die in front of Senator Organa and the other children would fall shortly after at the hands of Mandalorians. Once more, Richard would find himself desperately outnumbered, and still he would fight on. Despite his valiant stand, he would catch several bolts from the troopers before plummeting from the higher levels of the Temple to the streets below.

Richard would spend a few weeks recovering, hidden by Jedi loyalists before he escaped from Coruscant and headed to Naboo. The Jedi would form a hidden enclave there, one that would eventually become attacked, where Rupert and Jedi Knight Rami would hold their ground and fight the attacking Imperial army. Once more Richard would be injured, but instead of death, it would be capture.

He would spend untold years being tortured and broken over and over. Death would have been a mercy to him. It wasn't until many years later, that a broken Richard, now calling himself Rupert, was rescued by a team of Rebel Shock Troopers from a prison facility on Malastare. Untrusting of himself, and the Jedi, especially of Luke after discovery of Darth Vader being Anakin, he would avoid Luke's New Jedi Order and would keep to himself for many of the years following the Battle of Yavin and well beyond the fall of the First Order.

In fact, it wasn't until 80 ABY that Rupert rejoined the Jedi Order. Seeing how damaged he was, the Grand Master at the time would bring him in and offer him a position in the temple. It was those years of healing that would lead to Rupert regaining his humanity, namely his sense of humor. He would become the 'Crazy Uncle' figure to the Jedi of the temple, oftentimes just shuffling through the halls and rambling to himself or any that would listen. Oota would continue the offer of his predecessor, ensuring there was a place for ol'Rupert.

During the fall of Ajan Kloss, Rupert would be ushered to safety by Drastus Drahr, who would think of Rupert as just 'that old senile Jedi'. Despite his request to replace Master Zurast, she would tell him that Drast and other Padawans required his help more than hers. A heavy heart and shaky hands would bid the Master farewell. Well into the twilight years of his kind, Rupert just lives for one reason and one reason only: bringing joy to those around him.
