STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES (Required: 2 Weaknesses Minimum) : +'s = Strengths | *'s = Neutrals | -'s = Negatives
+ Dena'lyn is incredibly gifted in her natural agility and acrobatics.
+ She's actually rather proficient with blaster pistols, choosing to use them in tandem with her saber
+ She's got a lot of force potential, and is naturally strong with it.
+ Her lightsaber combat skills are her best skills. She spends a lot of time learning her respective chosen styles, those being Forms I, II, and IV.
* She's proficient in unarmed combat and martial arts
* She has basic knowledge of Form III Soresu
* She's able to use the force to enhance her physical abilities, such as her speed and strength, although not to the highest of degrees yet. It's definitely no detriment, but it isn't quite good enough at this level to count fully as a strength, seeing as it is one of the few force skills she can maintain in combat without losing focus, although using other force abilities tends to make it waver.
- She's not very strong physically, without enhancing her abilities with the force.
- She lacks the tactical mindset on things, preferring to solve things head on. In most situations, she'll solve it the first way she thinks of, and it's usually with her lightsaber.
- Dena'lyn is a terrible pilot. Beyond normal navigation and setting the Navicomputer, she can't fly or maneuver at all.
- Despite her strength in the force, it's an untamed strength. Unfocused. For example, her force pushes in total are strong, if hit directly, but much often, distance would spread it out like a shotgun, hitting multiple objects, but at reduced strength. Her telekinesis was shaky, and her focus easily disrupted, making using the force to throw things while in combat difficult if being pushed.
- Despite her strength in the force, with virtually no finesse, her mind tricks are virtually useless.
- Despite having grown up under jedi control, Dena'lyn has always struggled with her emotions.
- Dena'lyn's rather gullible, and doesn't really question people when they say something, prone to taking them at face value. If there is an obvious lie she'll call them out on it.
- Despite being a promising young duelist, this is with people she's trained with her whole life. She's almost completely untried against an actual opponent attempting to kill her.
APPEARANCE:
Rather petite and lithe, Dena'lyn has almost no body fat on her body due to the intense athletic training she maintains.
She is a Kiffar, a near human species that sometimes has the ability to read an objects past, and even more rarely has the ability to read a living being's past. She was never marked with the tattoos that would identify the clan she belongs to, having been given away so young and before she'd received them.
Her clothing is more often than not that of the traditional jedi garb, although on rare occasion she'll wear more normal civilian clothing to help her blend in.
BIOGRAPHY:
Pre RP-
Dena'lyn, born to her Kiffar parents on the planet Onderon, was only shortly in the custody of her parents. Raising her there for a couple of years, she would later be handed over to the jedi after having been discovered to be force sensitive. It was somewhat of a relief for the two adult Kiffar. They hadn't particularly wanted to raise a child, and the jedi had afforded them a way out of that. To the end that it would make it harder to track them down, they didn't inform the jedi of Dena'lyn's clan name, or indeed her birth name. The child was given a false name, and began her life in service to a small jedi outpost on Onderon.
As there were few jedi stationed on Onderon, the training was more hands on, with more time dedicated individually. There was only one master stationed, and a handful of knights, as well as a handful of students. Interestingly enough, the knights numbered one less than the students, and Dena'lyn had been the last to join, making her an offset. As she was still too young to truly train, and all the knights had their own personal students, Dena'lyn was taken by the master as his own personal student and charge.
Perhaps because of this, Dena'lyn's training was quite more advanced. Having one on one training with a jedi master for most of her life quickly elevated her towards the same level as her older peers. Her natural connection to the force, while not the strongest among the group's, wasn't the weakest. Her swordplay was where she truly shined, being the top duelist among the padawans. She was able to hold her own against some of the knights by the time she was 14, and by her 16th birthday, she was even able to best some of them in a duel. Perhaps this was because her focuses with the saber were on Makashi and Ataru, making her both focused on straight up dueling, as well as acrobatic combat.
Although she was a talented fighter, she wasn't anywhere near ready for knighthood. For one, her skills with the force were rudimentary at best, only really able to combat others due to her natural connection with the force. Despite having a strong connection, she had a difficult time focusing the power into a finely controlled power, instead just pouring it out of her like a faucet. It was the difference between a laser pointer and a flashlight. While the flashlight may illuminate more area, the focused beam of a laser pointer was many times brighter than the flashlight.
Neither did she really have any sort of diplomatic skill or conversational finesse. In addition, her lack of control of her emotions also added on to the list. The best she had going for her was her sword skills, and fighting finesse alone wasn't what made a knight a knight.
Shortly after her 17th birthday, tragedy struck the 'temple'. She was lucky enough not to have been around, and has no clue to this day what happened, but when she returned, she found that all the inhabitants slaughtered, run through by what was consistant with lightsaber markings. Some of the jedi from the temple, 3 in total, were not among the dead, most notably of all, her own master. Missing with him was one of the jedi knights, and one of the other padawans, another promising duelist, who was naturally gifted in the force and a competent duelist as well. There were only two things she could think of. Somehow, they managed to escape, and were in hiding.... or the three of them had instigated this attack. One thing was for sure; she would get to the bottom of this, and find out what had happened.
