Species: Miraluka
Gender: Male
Height: 185 cm

Force Sensitive: Yes

PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION

Prosen possesses the composed bearing of someone accustomed to being watched, though he has never experienced the galaxy through conventional sight.

He is tall and athletic, with the lean, functional strength of a Jedi who has spent more time in the field than within temple halls. His build is suited to endurance rather than brute force, shaped by years of travel, survival, and combat in environments where speed and awareness mattered more than imposing size.

His skin carries a warm olive tone, contrasting with dark brown hair that he usually keeps moderately short and pushed away from his face. It is rarely arranged with much precision and tends to fall out of place during missions. A narrow scar follows the right side of his jaw, the remnant of an early assignment and one of the few injuries he never bothered to have fully removed.

Like all Miraluka, Prosen was born without physical eyes. The upper portion of his face is ordinarily covered by a dark cloth wrap, carefully fitted but plainly made. Subtle geometric stitching along its edges reflects traditional Miraluka patterns associated with perception, discipline, and remembrance. During dangerous assignments, he sometimes replaces it with a reinforced protective visor, though the device contains no visual sensors.

Prosen perceives the galaxy through the Force. Living beings appear to him as shifting presences of intention, emotion, and energy, while objects and environments are understood through their relationship to the Force surrounding them. This perception is extraordinarily detailed, but it is not omniscience. Mechanical structures, Force-dead spaces, overwhelming emotional disturbances, and certain forms of concealment can complicate or distort what he senses.

His movements are economical and controlled. He rarely turns his head toward sudden sounds in the way sighted people expect, and he has a habit of facing someone with unsettling accuracy even when they attempt to approach silently.

His expressions tend to be restrained, communicated more through the set of his mouth, the angle of his head, and shifts in posture than through obvious displays. When amused, one corner of his mouth usually lifts before he allows himself a proper smile.

Prosen favors layered Jedi attire adapted for travel: fitted tunics, reinforced trousers, boots, bracers, and a weather-resistant outer coat or robe. His clothing is usually kept in muted earth tones, dark greys, and subdued blues. He wears little ornamentation beyond a small metal clasp bearing the old symbol of his family.

PERSONALITY AND BELIEFS

Prosen is calm, observant, and deliberate, carrying himself with the quiet confidence of someone who has already survived the consequences of several difficult decisions.

He is slow to make judgments about people, but once he reaches a conclusion, he can be remarkably difficult to move. His patience is genuine rather than performative. He prefers to listen, observe, and understand the shape of a problem before committing himself to a course of action.

Once he does commit, however, hesitation disappears.

Prosen possesses a dry and understated sense of humor. He rarely attempts to become the center of attention, instead delivering quiet remarks from the edge of a conversation and allowing others a moment to realize they have been teased. He has learned to use people's assumptions about Miraluka perception to his advantage and occasionally allows someone to believe they have gone unnoticed longer than necessary.

He is compassionate, though his compassion has been tempered by experience. Prosen believes deeply that people are capable of change, but he does not confuse the possibility of redemption with evidence that redemption has occurred. He will offer someone a path back, but he will not permit their desire for forgiveness to place others in danger.

He dislikes cruelty, waste, and the casual dismissal of civilian lives as acceptable costs. He has little tolerance for leaders who speak of sacrifice while expecting others to make it on their behalf.

Prosen respects the Jedi Order, but he does not view it as infallible. His family's history taught him early that institutions can become detached from their founding purpose and that loyalty without reflection can become another form of cowardice.

He believes the Jedi should serve the Force and the people of the galaxy rather than protect their own authority.

Prosen does not rebel for the pleasure of opposition. He understands why large institutions proceed cautiously and has witnessed impulsive intervention make fragile situations worse. He is willing to obey experienced leadership, but only so long as obedience does not require him to abandon his conscience.

He carries himself as though responsibility is something that must be accepted before it can fall upon anyone else. This makes him dependable during a crisis and difficult to reach afterward.

HISTORY

Prosen Dibs was born on Alpheridies into a family that had spent generations living beneath the shadow of one complicated name.

Prosset Dibs had been remembered in many ways. To some, he was a principled Jedi who recognized the failures of the Order before others were willing to admit them. To others, he was a bitter dissenter whose conviction curdled into anger and betrayal. Within the Dibs family, neither interpretation was considered complete.

Prosen grew up hearing the story without the comforting simplicity of a hero or villain.

His relatives taught that Prosset had asked questions the Jedi needed to hear, but had allowed pain, isolation, and resentment to shape what followed. His failures were not hidden from the family's children, nor were the circumstances that contributed to them. The Dibs name became both warning and obligation: question authority, but also question the anger that makes every authority appear corrupt.

Prosen's Force sensitivity manifested early. Even among Miraluka children, his perception was unusually focused. He could identify relatives across crowded chambers, sense agitation before arguments began, and navigate unfamiliar structures with little difficulty.

His family did not resist when representatives of the Jedi offered to train him, but neither did they send him away without reservations. Prosen entered the Order already aware that Jedi could fail—not merely as individuals, but as a culture.

This made him a thoughtful but sometimes difficult student.

He respected knowledge and discipline, yet rarely accepted instruction without wanting to understand its moral foundation. Some teachers appreciated his questions. Others considered them an inherited tendency they hoped proper training would correct.

Prosen was eventually apprenticed to Jedi Master Aven Sar, a patient human investigator known for resolving disputes in remote systems. Master Sar did not discourage Prosen's skepticism. Instead, he required him to apply the same scrutiny to his own motives.

Under Sar's guidance, Prosen learned that criticism was easy when made from safety. The more difficult task was making imperfect decisions while frightened people depended upon him.

His apprenticeship took him far from major Jedi centers. He served aboard relief vessels, traveled through border systems destabilized by war, investigated missing Force-sensitive children, and assisted communities threatened by criminal syndicates, local militias, and dark-side artifacts.

He became particularly skilled at identifying disturbances others failed to recognize. Where a conventional investigator might follow physical evidence, Prosen could sense emotional residue, ruptures in the local flow of the Force, and the lingering impressions left by moments of terror or violence. These abilities made him valuable, but they also exposed him to suffering with unusual intimacy.

The mission that defined his apprenticeship occurred on a mining colony caught between a separatist movement and an occupying security force. Prosen and Master Sar had been sent to recover a Force-imbued object before either faction could weaponize it. When fighting broke out, the extraction route collapsed and hundreds of civilians became trapped below the settlement. Master Sar was severely injured. Recovering the artifact remained possible, but doing so would have required Prosen to abandon the trapped miners before the atmosphere failed. Prosen chose the civilians. The artifact was taken by one of the factions and later caused further bloodshed. Nearly all of the trapped workers survived.

For years afterward, Prosen questioned whether he had made the correct decision. The Jedi who reviewed the mission did not knight him because his choice had produced an ideal outcome. They knighted him because he had accepted responsibility for an impossible decision, acted according to the principles he believed the Jedi existed to uphold, and refused to disguise the cost of his choice.

He was twenty-two.

In the years since, Prosen has served as a Jedi Knight across isolated and unstable regions. His work has included hostage negotiation, refugee protection, investigations into dark-side disturbances, recovery of dangerous relics, and the pursuit of Force users who preyed upon vulnerable communities.

He has built a reputation for resolving conflicts without unnecessary violence, though those who mistake his restraint for reluctance rarely make the error twice.

Prosen has also accumulated losses. Some people could not be reached in time. Some refused the help they were offered. Others convinced him they wanted to change and used his mercy to harm again. Each failure strengthened his judgment while quietly deepening his belief that he should have anticipated more.

He still carries the damaged Dibs insignia passed down through his family. He does not wear it openly. It remains inside his travel pack as a reminder that good intentions do not prevent corruption, that institutions must be questioned, and that righteous anger can become indistinguishable from the thing it opposes.

At twenty-five, Prosen is regarded as an experienced and dependable Jedi Knight. He has faced enough of the galaxy to understand that courage is rarely clean and that no decision protects everyone. Others often seek him when they need steadiness. Few realize how much of that steadiness is constructed from the fear of failing one more person. Prosen believes a Jedi should be willing to stand between danger and those who cannot defend themselves. He has not yet learned that standing beside someone can require more courage than standing in front of them.
