GENERAL INFORMATION
Kael Vorran is a former Jedi Knight turned exile, a lone figure drawn back into the galaxy by a haunting echo in the Force that only he can hear. Stoic and enigmatic, he walks forgotten paths in search of ancient truths lost to both the Jedi and the Sith. His emerald blade rarely ignites, but when it does, it speaks of precision, control, and conviction forged through solitude. Kael is not a hero by design, but when the balance shifts, he answers, not out of duty… but because something deeper calls.
-
Kael Vorran was born on Velis Prime, a once-thriving world near the galaxy's edge, now silent and forgotten. Taken by the Jedi at a young age, his connection to the Force was deep, subtle, and difficult to define. He didn't shine through power or charisma, but through quiet insight. Kael had a gift for reading the currents of the Force, sensing changes before they came, and understanding things even his masters could not explain.HISTORY
He rose through the ranks, respected for his control and clarity. But Kael was never truly at peace within the Jedi Order. He questioned. He hesitated. He listened to things others could not hear. It was during a mission to his homeworld, Velis Prime, that he experienced the vision, one that would change everything.
He called it the Echo. A tone, or a presence, that vibrated through the Force like a forgotten song. It wasn't the dark side, nor the light. It was something older. Deeper. The Jedi Council dismissed it as a delusion brought on by trauma. Shortly after, Velis Prime fell, its surface scorched in a conflict erased from most archives. Kael disappeared that day. Official records listed him among the dead.
In truth, he had walked away.
Kael lived beyond the Outer Rim for decades, in the shadow of collapsed stars and dead temples. He spoke to no one. Sent no signals. He searched, following whispers, symbols, and fragments of what he believed was tied to the Echo. He became a ghost to those who had once known him.
And then, the sound returned.
Now, Kael Vorran walks the galaxy once more. He returns to The High Republic, a shining beacon of hope, but he speaks little of what he's seen. But the blade at his side burns emerald, a deep emerald. His eyes see farther than most. And something is stirring in the Force, something that remembers him.
-
Kael Vorran stands just over six feet tall, lean and hardened by years spent in exile. His build reflects quiet discipline, wiry, enduring, shaped by survival rather than strength. Every movement is deliberate, controlled, as if he's always listening for something beyond the moment. He carries the presence of someone who has lived long in silence and grown sharp inside it. His hair is dark brown, worn to his shoulders and often tied back beneath a weathered cowl. His face is angular and pale, his expression unreadable, save for the scar that cuts through his right eyebrow. His most striking feature is his pale silver eyes, almost luminous, calm but piercing. They don't wander. They study. He wears robes of faded gray and deep forest green, layered for travel and harsh terrain. They're frayed at the hems and stained with time, but every piece serves a purpose. Beneath the cloth is subtle armor. Flexible, durable, and quiet. His lightsaber rests at his left hip. The hilt is dark, worn smooth in places, etched with ancient glyphs nearly lost to the galaxy. He wears no rank, no emblem, no insignia. Kael Vorran moves like a shadow from another time, touched by the Force but belonging to no one.APPEARANCE

PERSONALITY
Kael carries himself with the precision of a trained Jedi and the restraint of a man who has seen too much. He rarely raises his voice and never draws his weapon without need. His pale silver eyes are unnerving in their focus, calm, but never passive. He moves like water, patient and fluid, but his speed and decisiveness strike without hesitation when pressed.
Though often alone, he is not unkind. He subtly shows empathy, offers help without request, and answers questions honestly when trust is earned. Yet, Kael is not easily swayed. His loyalty must be proven, and once betrayed, forgiveness is unlikely.
He carries the air of someone who has walked away from death, not once, but many times, and carries each return like a scar.
STRENGTHS & WEAKNESSES
Strengths:
- Force Echo Sensitivity -Kael can perceive emotional and historical imprints left behind in places, objects, and even people. This gives him insight that others miss, and allows him to read more than what is said or seen.
- Master of Soresu - A disciplined practitioner of the defensive Soresu lightsaber form, Kael excels at conserving energy, deflecting incoming fire, and holding the line, even against overwhelming odds.
- Mental FortitudeDecades in exile have hardened Kael's mind against fear, manipulation, and mental intrusion. He is nearly impossible to deceive or break.
- SurvivalistWhether traversing derelict starships or desolate moons, Kael has learned to survive with minimal resources, enduring cold, hunger, and the weight of solitude without faltering.
- Multilingual ScholarKael can read, speak, and decipher numerous ancient languages, including Rakatan and pre-Republic Jedi dialects, making him invaluable in uncovering lost knowledge.
-
Obsessive Pursuit of the Echo
Kael's relentless focus on the ancient "echo" that pulled him back into the galaxy often clouds his judgment. He can become detached from current realities in favor of unraveling more profound truths. -
Social Isolation
Years in seclusion have left him distant, awkward, and emotionally closed off. He forms few bonds and rarely allows others close, even when trust would help. -
Reluctance to Kill
Kael's dedication to balance makes him hesitant to kill, even in battle. This moral line can create hesitation or leave him vulnerable to more ruthless foes. -
Physically Weakened by Vision Trances
His visions, though powerful, come at a price, leaving him physically drained or disoriented afterward, especially when forced mid-combat. -
Hunted by the Past
There are those who remember Kael Vorran, not all with reverence. Former allies, corrupted Jedi, and old enemies believe he knows something he shouldn't… and some want that knowledge silenced.
-
