Biography

Vitiion was a Force Sensitive Ubese female, born on Uba IV approximately 50 years after the Battle of Exegol. Like many Force Sensitive children born in the ruined southern wastelands of the Ubese homeworld, Vitiion was raised and groomed by her clans Kadji- a mystic wise woman (or man)- to take on the sacred duties expected of her future station. In a society which distrusted or outright hated Jedi, the Republic, and their like, a clans Kadji was an essential part of the clans social structure- a skilled Kadji fortune teller was an advisor to the clan chief, but also a healer and mediator for the clan as a whole, oversaw funeral rites and religious ceremonies, and, in times of war, used her powers to bring her clan swift and violent victory. Vitiion proved a competent Kadji apprentice and would have likely one day become her clans wise woman, had fate not intervened.

Ubese youth, including young Kadji, traditionally venture out on a pilgrimage to see the beauty and treasures of the galaxy- treasures and beauty that Ubese lore teaches was stolen from them by the Jedi and the Republic, and by extension all who support them. These Ubese "Outriders" are those most often encountered by the Galaxy at large- mercenaries and bounty hunters, pirates and thieves, taking some tiny measure of revenge on the galaxy that wronged them. Vitiion's own pilgrimage was cut short before she had been off world a year. Instead of a dramatic confrontation with sector authorities, an angry Hutt, or their hated enemies of the Jedi,, Vitiion and the clan mates of her outrider crew were laid low by a decimal point- a miscalculated hyperspace jump ended in a collision with an asteroid belt that left their ship destroyed, scattered over thousands of kilometers, with Vitiion the only member of her party to survive. A force premonition moments before impact and a conveniently located life support box were the only things that saved her.

The young Kadji awoke weeks later in the medical bay of a transport ship headed for Ajan-Kloss. She learned that she had been rescued by Jedi Master Sardana Kieze and, lacking any information on who she was or where she had come from, that the Jedi was taking her to the temple to treat her injuries. Vitiion, for her part, was bewildered and enraged by this turn of events, believing the Jedi to be her peoples most dangerous enemies. She was not, however, in any condition to do anything about it. During her initial weeks on Ajan-Kloss- first in a Bacta tank, then bed-ridden, and then finally limping about with repulsor crutches while medical droids whirred about telling her to return to bed, she remained angry and distrustful of her "captors". She refused food, fearing it to be poisoned, until she was on the edge of starvation and decided to risk it. She constantly tried to steal scalpels and syringes from the medical droids, thinking she would need a weapon when the Jedi came to finish her off, but the opportunity to strike never arose. The Jedi, for their part, were gracious hosts. Before Vitiion had even woken from her Bacta dip her face concealing helmet had been returned to her, allowing her to protect her dignity and modesty from all but the droids. They provided her with serviceable, if ugly, robes to replace her destroyed traditional garbs. They fed and cared for her, and asked nothing in return. For weeks Master Kieze would check up on her progress, promising that as soon as she was transportable, they would depart for Uba IV immediately. As Vitiion recovered from her injuries, these visits turned into easy strolls around the library and training grounds, and then outside into the Temple Gardens. This is where Vitiion first encountered something she had never truly seen before- colors. Endless green jungles surrounded the temple- a stark contrast to her dusty, barren, and irradiated homeworld- but also the reds and yellows and blues of a million species of plants and wildlife. Though she could sense something different ever since she had landed here, drifting in and out of consciousness, she was finally able to to place what it was exactly that she felt. This planet felt like life.

Weeks turned to months, and months turned to years. The transition was... rough, at points. Vitiion would sit at a distance as Knights and Masters instructed younglings in the ways of their strange religion, insisting that she wanted no part of their blasphemies herself. At night she would sit in her spartan guest quarters, performing rituals and spells in attempts to commune with her ancestors or her far-off Kadji for guidance. She struggled to reconcile the mystical strength she felt in the world around her with her own understanding of the spirits that guided the Kadji. It took some time before the young Ubese woman began to listen more intently to the Masters elementary level lessons, and longer still before she would actually sit with the group. It took many, many more painfully long months before she agreed to become Master Krieze's Padawan.

Vitiion never returned home. Instead, she found herself consumed with the Jedi Order, enamored with its library of arcane texts and what few mysterious artifacts the still young Order had collected. She traveled widely as Master Kriezes padawan- Master and Apprentice exploring the furthest reaches of the known galaxy, collecting bygone relics of forgotten eras, long lost lore, and whatever else they found along the way. As a Knight, Vitiion followed in her Masters footsteps. When she was not buried in ancient texts in the archives, or consulting with the oldest members of the order, she was delving ever deeper into unexplored parts of the galaxy, searching for what the Jedi had lost in the preceding centuries, and occasionally finding things much... darker.

Nearly 90 years after the battle of Exegol, Knight Vitiion, Master Krieze, and several other Knights embarked on a secretive journey deep into wild space and the unknown regions. They never returned. After a decade, the Jedi council, led by Grandmaster Oota Boan, officially declared them lost... Until now.


Personality and Abilities

Vitiion, like most of her kind, is naturally conservative, standoffish, aggressive, irritable, and prone to hot blooded flashes of anger. Fortunately, unlike most of her kind, she has had the benefit of decades of training to learn to control her baser instincts. While many say patience is a virtue, this Jedi knows that patience is a hard learned skill, and she is patient to a fault- an early lesson reinforced again and again by her former Master. Many of her fellow Jedi regard her with a sense of mystery or skepticism, given she seldom speaks and never shows her face- no living Jedi has any idea what Knight Vitiion looks like behind the mask. While some of these quirks come from inherent limitations in her species, others are the last vestiges of a culture Vitiion has never entirely let go.

Though she is a highly skilled practitioner of both Soresu- a style of lightsaber combat that helps her hone her patience and curb her more aggressive instincts- Vitiion's true talents lie in her applications of the Force. Her early studies as a Kadji apprentice were much darker than her current pursuits, more akin to the witches of Dathomir than to Jedi teachings, and so Vitiion constantly struggles to balance her Force Adept past with the Jedi Path. Where these two paths are easiest to reconcile is the realm of more esoteric Force Talents- Vitiion is highly skilled in the arts of Force Sense, able to glimpse visions of past and future during meditation, divine direction and meaning in obscure feelings and impulses, and interpret the innermost intentions of those around her. With preparation, her mastery of psychometry allows her to see histories of people and objects with much more breadth and clarity than most of her peers. Mind tricks and illusions also come very easily to her, as do forms of telepathy. More direct applications of the Force, however, come less easily to her.

Vitiion is a competent pilot and navigator, but never had much of a talent for other technological pursuits. She is, however, a highly educated scholar, historian, and researcher, and has a strong knowledge of less practiced arts like herbalism, alchemy, and ritualism. Although the Jedi have lost much knowledge over centuries of decline, if there is something in the archives there is a good chance Vitiion is aware of it. Her passion is in expanding this knowledge ever further, uncovering ancient lore and unlocking the most intricate secrets of the Force...
