Character
April Lotuka — The Hidden Knight
BASIC INFORMATION
Name: April Lotuka
Homeworld: Mandalore
Affiliation: The Veil of Light (Hidden Jedi Sect)
Rank: Galactic Knight (Sect Higher Student)
Height / Weight: 5'7" / 130 lbs
APPEARANCE
Visuals:Athletic, long brunette hair (usually in a bun), striking brown eyes, white skin with a light tan.
Eyes: Stunning blue (secret condition: eyes pulse red when ill/weak).
Distinct Gear: First lightsaber crafted from rare Mandalorian-temple crystals — golden-yellow blade with a hint of white; slightly heavier than standard sabers.
BACKGROUND
Foundling: Orphaned and raised within the Veil of Light; origin of parents unknown.
Training: Raised off the grid, blending Mandalorian martial culture with the Veil's hidden Jedi disciplines. Quickly rose to be a Galactic Knight.
FIGHTING STYLE
Form Blend: Hybrid of Soresu (Form III) and Djem So (Form V) — disciplined defense + heavy, authoritative counters.
Mandalorian Influence: Close-quarters grappling, disarms, trips, shoulder checks integrated into saber work.
Unorthodox Movement: Fluid, unpredictable footwork that converts defense into decisive offense.
Golden Pressure: Heavier saber adds "weight" to strikes — blows feel decisive and crushing.
FORCE ABILITIES
Core:
- Force Perception — heightened awareness to read intent and anticipate attacks.
- Force Push/Pull — used tactically, not theatrically.
- Force Valor — Veil discipline that boosts stamina, speed, and reflexes.
Specialized Veil Techniques:
- Veil Shroud — suppresses Force signature for stealth and reconnaissance.
- Echo Step — Force-assisted footwork that appears to hasten her movement.
- Golden Strike — a rare, draining channeling into her crystals that emits a white-gold flare capable of breaching strong defenses.
Hidden / Secret: Crimson Veil — when her eyes pulse red (illness/weakness), her Force use becomes sharper and more aggressive; she keeps this secret, fearing corruption.
PERSONALITY & FLAWS
Personality: Stoic, disciplined, quietly defiant; balances Mandalorian resilience with Veil teachings. Feels both honor-bound and restless.
Flaws: Secretive about heritage and the red-eye condition; independent streak sometimes clashes with sect hierarchy; risk of isolation and being manipulated about origins.
ROLEPLAY HOOKS
- Search for the truth about her parents — who left her at the Veil, and why?
- Her red-eye episodes threaten to reveal a deeper tie to an unknown Force anomaly or legacy.
- Torn between remaining with the Veil or striking out to discover a broader place in the galaxy.
"A blade that carries the weight of both Mandalore and the light — she defends with patience and strikes with purpose."
