SOCIAL INFORMATION
- Membership: This tradition is exclusive to Saki, developed through her unique experiences and training. There are no formal processes for others to join as it is tailored to her personal history, skills, and emotional struggles. Potential apprentices would need to endure Saki's rigorous training regimen, including war time simulations, elemental attunement and Vaapad emotional mastery but no such apprentices currently exist.
- Motives: The tradition is driven by Saki's duty to protect the innocent, channeling her rage and past trauma into strength to combat threats. It seeks to refine her body and spirit as a guardian's weapon balancing aggression with discipline to prevent corruption.
- Rules and Teachings: Practitioners must embrace controlled chaos, using inner darkness to fuel Vaapad's power while maintaining Matukai purity and Jedi restraint to avoid falling to the Dark Side. Training requires physical and mental endurance including prolonged stances in harsh environments, sparring against physically and mentally imposing foes and meditating on past pain to harness Vaapad. The style demands respect for the Force and environment using Shaper techniques to harmonize with elements rather than dominate them. Saki enforces these principles on herself through constant self reflection and discipline.

HISTORICAL INFORMATION
Jedi Dimension Style was born from the crucible of Saki's tumultuous life a former child soldier turned force sensitive guardian whose journey through betrayal, war and self-discovery forged a combat system as unique as her spirit. Emerging from her experiences on the war torn worlds like Daalang, Yadrid, Metalorn, Shili and Empress Teta. The style is a testament to her evolution from a volatile, rage-driven youth to a disciplined master who wields her inner "storm" as a tool for protection. Its development was not a deliberate act of founding a new tradition but a natural synthesis of Saki's diverse trainings, personal traumas and relentless drive to protect the innocent. It draws from:- Teräs Käsi: Learned to counter Force users, providing mental discipline and anti-Force techniques.
- Matukai: Adopted for physical and spiritual purification, enabling superhuman endurance and strength.
- Shapers of Kro Var: Integrated for elemental harmony, allowing Saki to wield environmental forces.
- Juyo/Vaapad: Incorporated to channel her rage and opponents' aggression, tempered by Jedi teachings to avoid corruption.
- MMA/Kickboxing: Added for raw, explosive striking power, reflecting her combat-first mindset.
Saki's training with the Matukai on harsh worlds like Shili introduced her to physical and spiritual purification, transforming her body into a near-unbreakable weapon. This discipline allowed her to endure prolonged battles as seen in her feats on Metalorn, where she faced overwhelming odds and emerged unbroken her skin hardened to diamond-like resilience. The Matukai teachings also provided a counterbalance to her growing power in Juyo/Vaapad her mentor Josiah Denkos form who recognized her potential to channel rage. Vaapad's aggressive precision and ability to loop an opponent's darkness resonated deeply with Saki's experiences of betrayal, particularly by fellow jedi whose actions fueled her inner turmoil. However, her Jedi training, acquired through battlefields rather then classrooms or meditation chambers was the foundation to her perspective.
The Shapers of Kro Var's elemental manipulations were integrated during Saki's time on worlds with volatile environments, such as Daalang's tempests and Shili's wild landscapes. These experiences taught her to harmonize with natural elements turning battlefields into allies whether summoning quakes, redirecting water, or igniting fiery strikes. Her partnership with Sasori Research the jedi researchers and Krass Wyms the celestial jedi forgemaster further refined the style as they crafted the Titan Class Breaker Armor, Sigil of Hope and Sasori Wraith Gauntlets. These items were designed to amplify her physicality and Force abilities with the armor enhancing Matukai durability, the Sigil stabilizing her Vaapad loops, and the gauntlets boosting her Teräs Käsi precision.
Key historical moments shaped the style's development. On Empress Teta, Saki achieved a state of Oneness, her senses briefly extending galaxy wide a pinnacle that informed her Storm Reflex technique. Her battles against Sith on Metalorn refined her ability to loop inner darkness, turning their aggression against them. The betrayals by jedi she knew were pivotal, as Saki channeled her pain into Vaapad's ferocity, developing techniques to confront such emotional wounds head-on. Her training regimens, often conducted in war torn environments or hazardous locales, mirrored her childhood struggles, pushing her to integrate environmental hazards into her combat style.
Jedi Dimension Style did not split from any single tradition but grew organically from Saki's unique blend of influences, unaligned with any formal order. It reflects her personal philosophy of turning pain into strength, a guardian's resolve forged in war and tempered by discipline. While it lacks the ancient roots of traditions like the Jedi or Sith, its history is deeply tied to Saki's modern era struggles, making it a living, evolving system that adapts to each new challenge or betrayal she faces.
