Loyalties: Kashyyyk
Role: Force ghost who heals people
Development Threads:
Age: about a thousand
Species: Firr Tree
Appearance:
A very large tree that stands four stories high! It is covered in pine nettles. Instead of pine cones it grows glowing cones! The lights sprout every year around life day. The tree is huge in diameter. Scars mark it's trunk from when the Empire atempted to cut it down. But, Nicholas has always kept the beautiful tree alive!
Personality:
Well he's a tree. So, he doesn't say much! Regardless he's very friendly. He likes to help people no matter who they are. He often uses his healing abilities to help a injured animal or lost traveler. He completely arbors violence. Though he is saddened that he cannot intervene and stop it. Still this does not stop him from healing the victims of said attacks!
Force Sensitivity: Knight
Weapon of Choice: None, it's a tree
Skills: Healing
Wealth: The endless bounty of mother nature!
Combat Function: Healer (Admitably he'll heal both sides)
Notable Possessions: Lots of pines!
History:
Much like most of the flora of Kashyyyk no one truly knows how it got there. Some believe it was created by the Rakatans to celebrate some unknown holiday. Others speculate it has always been native to Kashyyyk, that it is the origin of life on Kashyyyk. But, not even the Wookiees truly know where this tree comes from. The Firr trees have been a part of the Wookiee’s celebration since the beginning of the holiday. They are heralded as the spirit of life. The trees bloomed around the time of the holiday and the Wookiees believed it to be a sign from their god. They traveled from all over the planet to lay offerings beneath its branches. In hopes of living fruitful lives. As a result they earned the name of Life Day trees.
[SIZE=14.6667px]When the Empire came around these trees were drove almost to extinction. They burned the sacred Flora at Palpatine's order. Believing the flora to be a sign of dissidents and blatant rebellion. A few Wookiee chieftains saved some of the precious seeds and planted them within their own homes keeping the trees secret until the Empire could be overthrown. When the rebellion began to beat back the Empire almost every Wookiee household sported these trees openly as a sign of freedom.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=14.6667px]So, began the Tradition of decorating a life day tree within one’s household. Instead of gifts to the gods they laid out presents for each other and the Life Day tree became a universal sign of caring and love.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=14.6667px]One tree in particular was revered by the Wookiees most of all. It was known as the All Father. It is believed this tree has stood since the beginning of time. That its roots spread throughout the galaxy. That it is within all. It watches over each persons and if you’ve been good, around the time of Life Day good things will come your way. But, if you’ve been naughty it will cause some ill adventure to befall you.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=14.6667px]During the reign of the Empire the tree became very sick. It was believed this was due to the amount of darkside energy and death produced by the Imperials. That is until a Jedi named Nick came to Kashyyyk. He had heard of the mystical tree and had wanted to see it for himself. Upon his arrival he used his powers to heal the tree, but the Emperor’s agents had sensed his use of power.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=14.6667px]They found him and the tree and slayed poor nick. His blood seeped into the ground and watered the trees roots. It is believed he lives on in the tree and that his blood is the source of its powers. The tree has become a renowned place of miracle healing ever since. People travel from all over the galaxy, so that they may have one of its precious leaves or its holy bark. [/SIZE]
