TARU ECLIPSE

NAME: Taru Eclipse

RANK: Apprentice
SPECIES: Human
AGE: 17

(The Red Force Lightning does not increase any stat, power, or increase rate of survival, they are only for aesthetic usage with the Force lightning having very limited range) {At this stage of training only 1millimeter but it has the potential to reach 1 meter} and being as strong as normal Force lightning). However he can not use it due to his inadequate "power supply"{he is only Level 1.}

Charisma: 6.0/10.0
Dexterity: 9.0/10.0
Intelligence: 7.0/10.0

Constitution: 6.5/10.0
Stamina: 8.5/10.0

Being of Mandalorian descent, Taru is not a true brute nor a true genius. However he is still cunning and capable. His ability to nonchalantly display his skill in the art of swordsmanship is outstanding, and maybe even unique. He can take orders but, from time to time, has been known to completely disregard them. He is an “amazing” warrior. With a wide range of killing capabilities - from dueling on the battlefield to stealthy assassinations, Taru main lifestyle is through battle.


His battle style consists of Form IV for precision, and Juyo for Speed and Power
He is hopeful of adding Force Lighting to his arsenal of attacks but for now stays content without it.

PERSONALITY:
Being a warrior isn’t always the easiest thing to do due to the constant “need” for battle, the “wants” of war, and the “normality" of life. However he likes to play games with his enemies, and to mset up traps/ambushes. Taru is generally quiet, as it helps him to think of what will happen next. He enjoys watching others fail in areas where he succeeds as it boosts his self-esteem.
Also, he cannot remember his parents or his homeworld, he can only remember the Exiles.

BIOGRAPHY:
Taru was recruited by the local inquisitor at the age of two, when he accidentally destroyed his house. It was then after that his training began... He was taught the basics of the force, how to increase his powers, and what it meant to be an Exile. From the age of 2-6, he studied with other children and practiced every day. At the age of eight he secretly built a functional lightsaber but, having dropped the crystal and then “shooting” it with Force lightning(he did this by holding on to it while meditating for too long), his crystal cracked and his blade became a bit unstable, but this may be better for him. He got caught using it and got punished -- heavily. Afterwards, he resolved to become the best swordsman and fighter ever, and fully realized that he was either a Maruader or an Assassin style Jedi Exile. At the age of twelve he started his real training, and it was there that his motto: Death comes to those who cross me, came into reality. He killed three acolytes with his bare hands, and five others with his lightsaber. And thus out of a class of twenty, he was the best. He now goes on missions like any other normal apprentice, but he now also understands the power struggle between the Warlords. He has come to realize that serving a Warlord is the way to learn and grow in power, strength, and in the Dark Side of the Force. Thus, he is very interested in serving one.

I am also a master at shifting blame while at work. Copier is jammed? I didn't even know we own a copier. You know who's shifty though? That guy Allen from accounting.

All jokes aside, I know that you will have to change all mentions of "Sith" to "Exiles".

These links have some helpful information, as well as the history of the current timeline:

Thanks, also noticed some other things that I needed to mention...

Hey there! A few things you'll need to change that I noticed.

First of all, your character has high stats across most of his attributes (strength, wisdom, etc). Remember that all starting characters are Level 1 — which means they're not really any better than any other person in the Galaxy. You'll need to lower those stats, or at least balance some of them out with lower stats.
Secondly, the whole bit at the beginning about Force Lightning and having a red aura is a no-go as well. Actual Lightning is an ability that only Exile Masters have actually attained, and having a red aura would likely only appear if Taru was actually using the Force Rage power. The most a Level 1 character can achieve are sparks, nowhere near real Lightning.
Thirdly, you'll need to link the ship from the Tech boards in the possessions section.

Let me know once you've made the changes and I'll review it again!

Thank you, I guess I got carried away while creating him... All fixed

Hey there, I admit I was misinformed and made a mistake in regards to lightning. Here's an excerpt from the explanation on levels in terms of power for level 1s:

Level 1: The rules listed here generally govern what is possible for a level 1 combatant. Although capable of holding their own in most combat situations, there are some limits to what they are capable of. Some examples would include lightning and tutaminis. Although possible to cast lightning, level 1s lack the power of a true master and is generally incapable of killing in a single blast and will tire a use much more quickly than many abilities. Likewise, blocking a blaster or saber with tutaminis would be exceptionally difficult if not impossible.

In this light, I was mistaken in that only level 2s can use lightning. So what you have is good now! The only things I see now that need fixing are with his possessions. The CR-1925 Armed Star Cruiser is actually Advanced tech, so it can only be obtained by doing a tech plot. You'll need to pick something from the tech list that isn't advanced. While you're looking for a ship, you'll also need to pick and link a specific set of armour — a good set is the Jedi Dueling armour.
