STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES (Required: 2 Weaknesses Minimum) :
Kamon's greatest strength is his willingness to sacrifice himself to do what is necessary. In turn, his greatest weakness is that he will give himself up to save another, especially someone close to him. Using a family member to draw him in will work every time without failure. Threats to his family are always taken seriously.
Always cool and collected under pressure, he is not known for being a hot head. He goes into everything thinking clearly, even the situations where his family members life is on the line. Often he's thought about what is going to happen before he goes in, and usually he prepares for the worst case scenario, rather than hoping for the best.
Kamon's strength as a Jedi revolves around his combat skills. His skill with twin lightsabers is enough to keep many from wanting to confront them. Additionally, he's skilled with the Echani staff. His weakness is in telekinetics. Though he can lift some things, and he can still push and pull, he is by no means anywhere near as strong as some. Where a telekinetic power might throw someone across the room to slam into a wall, Kamon would only be able to get them to go backwards a few paces, just enough to give him some room.
Mentally he is strong, which is why he seeks to learn more about the White Current. He's learned some from sources friendly to him, but he actively seeks to learn more from the Fallanassi themselves so that he can use the Current to create illusions and to better hide himself. Still, even when he does learn it, his strength in it will not be as great as some. He'd be more of a trickster than a full blown illusionist.
SHIP:
No, he does not have a ship. Kamon prefers to move unseen so he usually stows away on ships that are going to where he's going.
BIOGRAPHY:
Kamon was born on Corellia as the youngest of three. His older siblings, Corbin and Shayla, were twins. They lived on the outskirts of Bela Vistal, in a secluded home set within the forest. His father, Maxi, was a CorSec Captain and his mother remained at home to take care of them. It was quite the happy childhood for the siblings. Corbin, naturally, would pick on his slightly younger brother, but Shayla was always there to pick him back up. They spent a lot of their time roaming around outside of their home, and none of them really knew what the Force was. Naomi, their mother, knew, but she kept it to herself.
One evening, after the three of them had been put to bed, there was a knock on their front door. Several men barged in and assaulted Kamon's parents. They did terrible things to them before forcing his mother to watch them kill his father. Then they killed her and set the house on fire. The three siblings had been watching from a cracked door, completely horrified at what they were seeing. It took all of their will, and Kamon urging them to be quiet, not to scream. With the house on fire, they couldn't escape save through a window. Kamon forced the other two out as the flames spread. The window slammed shut before he could get through, trapping him inside.
The siblings were all separated. Kamon was rescued when a fortunately well timed CorSec patrol spotted the flames. An old family friend, Jax Dwex, was one of those in the patrol and rescued Kamon's unconscious body from the flames. He took him in and raised him from then on out, since Kamon's parents were dead and his siblings were missing. As he grew up in the Dwex household, a Jedi by the name of Cole Donovin discovered him. He was a teenager by this point, but he took Kamon to the Jedi for training.
Kamon excelled, but he went through several Master's, including Xylon Hexyra and Gash Jiren, before he was promoted to Knighthood. Spending his early Knight years training with various different groups was rewarding, but it was during this time that he faced several tests which left him more or less broken. The first was a woman he loved, whom he lost to a virus that eradicated all of her memories of him. He was unable to save her from the Sith that had harmed her. Others were less drastic, but no less scathing for someone who was hurting inside.
In his early twenties he sought enlightenment about his familial past. This led him to Eshan, the home of the Echani. His family had immigrated to Corellia many years prior, but they were of Echani origin, with his father having been born on Eshan. For quite a while he trained with them. It was there he met a beautiful Echani woman. For quite a time the two were together, but it could not stay that way as he was drawn away and back to his duties as a Jedi. He never did see the young woman again, and unbeknownst to him, twin children were born that shared his DNA.
Not long after this he was granted the rank of Master by Gash Jiren for his efforts in serving the Republic as well as the Council. Despite this, he'd grown somewhat of a reputation as being distant with the other Jedi. Often his motivies and tactics could be drawn into question, but results usually followed. He is true to his Jedi ways, just chooses to go about things differently. Of late he's been actively seeking training with the Fallanassi in the ways of the White Current.
