---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES (Required: 2 Weaknesses Minimum) :
Boolon is a pacifist. His healing abilities are extensive, including area-of-effect healing and healing at some range. He did two years of medical school on Ithor, but saw learning from his mother -- High Priest of the Mother Jungle -- as a higher calling.
His ability to induce unconsciousness and deaden nerves culminates in a sort of Force-created general anaesthesia. This involves extensive familiarity with the mind, even the very active mind. He once induced this state in a fully conscious and resistant Val'Ryss Zankarr, knocking out a Dark Lord of the Sith. He has been called upon to put snipers to sleep at range.
His skill with Force artifacts is very high, including knowledge of nullification resin, an entirely academic knowledge of Force Light, and moderate talent with psychometry.
His skill with the lightsabre is minimal, sufficient to deflect a few blaster bolts or keep himself alive while retreating from Sith. He relies on Niman.
He considers Plant Surge somewhat disrespectful. However, in extreme cases he can cause plants and algae to do astonishing things.
He uses Force Bellow to startle or repel predators, and can negate the effects of sonic weapons. Likewise, he has developed some skill with Force shields.
He is very powerful and skilled with telekinesis due to many years of moving rocks and soil, carefully transplanting trees, and holding major blood vessels closed in emergencies. As noted, however, he is a pacifist.
Like some powerful Ithorian priests, Boolon is capable of healing Force severing, and repairing wounds in the Force. Using Transfer Force, he is capable of granting a portion of his own life force to save another's life.
SHIP:
A small Ithorian herd ship named Chodo Habat, of which he is presiding priest.
BIOGRAPHY:
Original biography: http://starwars-exodus.wikia.com/wiki/Boolon_Murr
Jedi Master Boolon Murr is the child of an Ithorian priestess. Born and raised in the herd ships that float above the Mother Jungle, Boolon was taught in the ways of his people, nurturing plants and ecosystems. The Ithorian Force tradition is subtle but strong, and Boolon became a capable healer of bodies and minds. He studied in medical school for two years, then acquiesced to his mother's request and became a full-time Ithorian priest.
About ten years ago, a party of Jedi arrived on Ithor, including a young @[member="Rach Kol-Rekali"] and an even younger @[member="Ashin Varanin"]. They had come to seek the advice of Boolon's mother. To ensure that her teachings were used properly, and out of foresight, she sent Boolon back to join the Jedi Order. The unassuming, mellow young Ithorian became a Jedi Knight, and gave many years of dedicated service as such. He clung to his pacifist principles, achieving success in missions by non-violent means and without imposition. He is not judgmental towards combat-focused Jedi.
Despite his complete lack of combat ability as such, he was quietly recruited to the Jedi Shadows. His proven ability to responsibly handle and contain Dark Side artifacts made him one of the Shadows' most reliable senior members. He balanced his commitment to the Shadows with his service to the Jedi healers.
In 833 ABY, after a smuggling crew turned a cache of Dark Side artifacts over to the Jedi, Boolon was tasked with helping the smugglers retrieve a second cache. They travelled to Point Nadir, where they met Kerrartha, a Wookiee Darksider who represented the leaders of Sable Dawn. Boolon joined forces with him against a band of mercenaries and Dark Side cultists, and prevailed. It became clear that the cult, which was attempting to steal unspecified artifacts from Sable Dawn, was being used by a shadowy figure, who turned out to be Velok. Boolon and the smuggler Slade fought the Whiphid within the labyrinthine tunnels of Point Nadir. Together, they defeated not only Velok but the Sith spirit which lived inside him, Darth Kren.
Boolon captured Velok and informed the Jedi Council, then waited for backup. In the space over Christophsis, Boolon, the smugglers, and the Jedi backup encountered a heavily disguised @[member="Delana Saan"], who had come to rescue Velok. The battle was fierce, and Boolon barely survived. Bereft of his prisoner, he returned to the Council in defeat.
