Excerpt · Biography · Personality and traits · Abilities · Equipment · Roleplays

Silas grew up in the Jedi Order when the fighting between the Jedi and their exiled brethren was at its height. Unable and unwilling to follow the Jedi's prohibition on love and relationships he was exiled. While most others exiled from the Order fell to the Darkside, Silas roamed the Galaxy while still holding onto the Jedi Code and many of the Order's philosophies.

Struggling to find meaning and purpose in his post-Jedi life, Silas has become a bit of a wonderer, helping those he comes when he can, but never settling in one place for too long.

▵Biography

You have failed to turn away from the path, when your fellow Jedi has. You have let your attachment to her outweigh your commitment to this Order. You continue down a path that will lead you and those around you into oblivion. It is for this reason you are exiled from this Order.
-Quote from the Trial of Silas Rin​

Silas knows little about his origins and nothing of his family before being brought to the Jedi Order. He was able to discover that he had been born on Coruscant and the Jedi had found him in a crowded orphanage in the lower levels. Silas remembers nothing before his time in the Jedi Order due to young age he had been discovered.

As a youngling, Silas learned quickly but his over inquisitive nature often got in him in trouble. He would poke and prod every lesson with questions that he became a bit of an outcast among his fellow younglings. Soon, he was only given to the most patient of Jedi to train with. These Jedi challenged Silas in a way he had not been before which caused him to prosper. As he progressed he began to show an aptitude for both the blade and the usage of the Force. He continued to question Jedi Philosophy constantly, refusing to accept any knowledge blindly.

At the age of 14, he was promoted to Jedi Knight along with many other young Jedi. With more privileges and the lack of a Master to hold his questions at bay, it was not long before Silas began to question the Jedi ways more and more. He agreed to the Jedi Code and the base Jedi Philosophies, but many of the more recent practices of Jedi Practices, especially those surrounding the war troubled him greatly. Where he searched for answers, he only found more questions and soon found himself not trusting the Jedi Council.

Of the traditional Jedi Philosophies, Silas never accepted the prohibition on close personal attachments. Longing to fill the void of never having a family, Silas wouldn't accept he was meant for a life without love and deep bonds with others. Filled with the hormones and stubbornness of youth, he soon fell in love with a fellow Jedi named Lydia. Over the next number of years, they would hide their relationship with one another, and while carrying out the Orders given to them by the Jedi Council.

As their relationship grew, it became harder and harder to hide. They would often talk of leaving the Order and settling on distant worlds, but both of them loved their place within the Jedi Order. The need for both Lydia and his Order was a constant burden to Silas. It was not long before their secret was uncovered. They were both brought before the Jedi Council separately to answer for their disobedience to the Order.

Silas argued his case and refused to back down from his belief in personal attachments and love. He was strengthed by the fact that he believed Lydia would be there for him as the inevitable verdict came. It was only after the trial, he had been told she had thrown herself at the mercy of the Jedi Council and had sought another chance within the Jedi. Not allowed to seek her out, Silas was stripped of his lightsaber and banished from the Jedi.

Heartbroken and homeless, Silas made his way out into the Galaxy. The next years would be spent wandering from one place to another. He continued to hold fast to the teachings of the Jedi, often being mistaken as one as he offered help to those around him.

The only thing keeping the emptiness he feels from overcoming him his constant movement around the Galaxy and his eternal search to find the home and family he had never had.


▵Personality

Silas is compassionate to a fault and has an almost complete inability to help those in need. The constant strain of solving the problems of others is extremely rewarding to him, but also very taxing.

His stubbornness and inquisitive nature have and no other source of influence has led him to overestimate his knowledge and wisdom in the ways of the Force. He constantly makes mistakes, which has been his biggest source of knowledge in his post-Jedi life.

Underneath the caring, compassionate surface lies a rather deep sense of emptiness and loneliness. Never quite getting over his love for Lydia, he struggles to fill the void of the love he felt during his last days in the Order.

▵Abilities

While no longer in possession of one, Silas is skilled in the use of a lightsaber. He also has a slightly above average skill in the use of blaster pistols but has focused on the use of a staff in his years after leaving the Jedi. Years of combat missions have given him the ability to stay calm in combat and focus on the task at hand.

Silas has always been gifted in the use of the Force but leaving the Jedi at a young age and the lack of instruction that followed has made it difficult to increase his ability. He is able to perform many of abilities an average Jedi Knight with relative ease but has not progressed beyond that to more advanced techniques.

▵Equipment

Constantly on the move, Silas does not have many belongings. He carries a solid wooden staff that he uses as a walking stick or weapon if need be. He carries a hidden and mostly unused Blaster Pistol.

His only form of protection comes in a plain colored and weathered armored cloak

He uses a basic, and slightly run down Light Freighter to traverse the Galaxy.
