Saki
Came in like a wrecking maul
"I can't give up, I won't give in, until I collapse, until my legs give out. These shoulders hold up so much that I won't ever budge won't budge, I'll never fall or fold up even if my bones crush or crumble, I will never slip or stumble. So do it, come on do it. Pierce my flesh and bones until they collapse, take it all every ounce of blood, every pound of flesh. I am willing to give everything even my life for this galaxy."

CONTENT INFORMATION
- The Jedi Dimension Style Holocron is a repository of my life's work, a combat style I forged from the ashes of my past designed to turn pain into power and chaos into protection. It's not just a fighting style it's a way to survive, to stand as a shield when the galaxy burns. This holocron teaches Jedi how to wield their inner storms without breaking, blending the brutal precision of Teräs Käsi, the raw force of the jedi martial arts, the unyielding strength of Matukai, the elemental mastery of the Shapers of Kro Var and the fierce clarity of Vaapad all tempered by discipline. Below, I detail the core components, woven with the battles and betrayals that shaped them and a reflection on my past because this style is as much about my mind as it is about my fists.
- This style is built on the idea that rage, pain and betrayal my constant companions aren't weaknesses to suppress but tools to wield. Vaapad taught me to loop my darkness with an opponent's, turning their fury into my fuel. Matukai discipline keeps me grounded, my body a temple of diamond hard resolve, while Teräs Käsi sharpens my mind to disrupt force users. Jedi foresight lets me see the flow of battle and Shaper elemental harmony ties me to the world around me rage ignites fire, resolve roots earth. Training mirrors my life: brutal, relentless and unforgiving. I push initiates to their limits in war simulations, like the storms of Daalang where I honed my Shaper skills, or the collapsing mines of Yadrid where I held up tons of rock to save lives. You'll spar holographic betrayers jedi who betrayed the order, betrayed their closest allies. Learn purging rage mid-fight, learn to balance fury with duty.
- Earth Stance (Rooted Ferocity): Born from holding Yadrid's mine entrance against Sith missiles this stance merges Teräs Käsi's wide guard with Matukai rooting and Shaper solidity. My feet, enhanced by my boots plant like mountains channeling my rage through Vaapad for unyielding balance. My body hardens to diamond, absorbing blows, then counters with quakes or limb-breaking stomps.
- Water Stance (Fluid Aggression): Inspired by Manaan's waters where I carved through a leviathan's belly this combines Shaper softness, Teräs Käsi mental flow and Vaapad precision. I sway like a tide, redirecting force, freezing joints with water-to-ice or flooding foes with streams. My breathing and movements creating a waveform to amplify adaptive elbows, tempered by my resolve to stay controlled.
- Air Stance (Swift Evasion): Forged in Daalang's storms, this blends Vaapad's swift flank with Shaper circles and Teräs Käsi speed. I dash, creating dust storms or wind walls to disrupt sight, landing aerial kicks with force perception to outmaneuver enemies.
- Fire Stance (Explosive Passion): Born from Empress Teta's betrayal where a fellow jedis treachery ignited my fury this fuses Shaper radiating energy with Vaapad's ferocity. My strikes burn with lightning jabs, fueled by cold rage amplified by my hands into molten bursts.
- Tempest Whirlwind Assault: Perfected on Daalang, where I tore through a slaver ship's hull, this combines Vaapad's blur-speed, Matukai stamina and Teräs Käsi combos. I spin through martial katas, infusing Shaper elements vines from air spins, quakes from boot stomps ending in shockwaves from my fists.
- Betrayal Loop Grapple: Crafted from the several jedi defections, this uses Vaapad to loop an opponent's darkness, Teräs Käsi to disable and Matukai to pinpoint weaknesses. I slip holds with water fluidity, root with earth, or burn free with fire ending in force enhanced throws.
- Storm-Infused Strike: Born from Metalorn's horrors, these punch or kick lands with Teräs Käsi precision, Vaapad power, Matukai force and Shaper effects fiery scorches or icy freezes. My boots or fists amplify it into quakes or crushes.
- Environmental Renewal Flank: Honed on Shili, saving Togruta lives this uses Air Shaping for evasion, Matukai physical immunity to poisons and Jedi foresight to turn defense into offense like flooding Sith with molten cortosis on Daalang.
- Oneness Harmony: My pinnacle, reached at Empress Teta in Oneness merges Vaapad loops, Matukai body enhancement and Shaper alterations. My strikes shatter starships, my senses span galaxies, tempered by Teräs Käsi to retain control. It is not something jedi can go into regularly without a deep connection to their own selves and the force.
- Autonomous Storm Reflex: Developed from surviving Hoylin's chaos, this lets my body react without thought—arms parry, legs evade, guided by Matukai mastery, Jedi precognition, and Vaapad's combat joy. Shaper elements make limbs autonomous: earth roots to absorb, water flows to dodge, air pivots to flank, fire ignites on instinct.
- Frozen Temporal Severance: Inspired by Metalorn's desperate need for control, this slows the ambient Force flow, making foes move in slow motion. I chill the area with Shaper water/ice, maintain speed with Matukai warmth, and strike with Vaapad ferocity, landing untraceable blows.
The holocron enhances Force Body, Force Quake, Alter Environment, Matukai Physical Enhancement, and Vaapad's emotional looping. It teaches resistance to mental attacks via Teräs Käsi, drawing from my battles against Sith mind tricks on Ossus and Tund.
Psychological Reflection:
I am Saki, the Sword of the Jedi, and my mind is a storm a churning ocean of rage, betrayal, and unyielding duty. I was born on Gallinore a Hapan heiress draped in silks but that life was a lie. My parents indulged my every whim called my tantrums strength until I hurled a servant girl with the Force at seven. They didn't fix me; they shipped me to Coruscant, abandoned me to the Jedi. That was my first scar, a wound that never healed just scabbed over. It taught me that trust is fragile, that those closest to you can cast you out.
At the Temple, I was a problem a volatile girl with too much power. Master Denko saw something else: a storm to harness not tame. He threw me into Vaapad, a form most Jedi fear and made me a weapon by nine. I fought Sith on battlefields while other younglings meditated. Manaan was my first lesson in humility swallowed by a leviathan, I carved my way out, only to be saved by the Selkath girl I rescued. I learned my power wasn't enough; I needed others. Metalorn showed something in me fighting poisoned innocents, their empty eyes haunting me, I emerged covered in their blood, my rage a fire I couldn't douse. Shili gave me purpose, saving Togruta lives from Zambrano but the Jedi Knight title at 12 was no honor it was a chain, binding me to war... I sometimes think Ben Watts knew that.
Denko's betrayal at was the deepest cut. He was my anchor, the one who understood my storm and he left me to form the Confederacy, taking Feena and others with him. I was 14, a Master by title but a lost child inside. That pain drove me to the Matukai and Shapers, turning my body into diamond, my fists into quakes, my rage into fire and water. I didn't suppress my scars; I forged them into armor. Vaapad became my voice, letting me scream my pain through every strike, every loop of an enemy's darkness. I don't conquer my rage I am my rage, controlled, precise, a blade for the light.
The Jedi Order disappoints me. They're a bureaucracy, debating while Sith grow stronger. The "Great Peace" was a lie, a treaty they clung to while Sith ravaged outposts. Selena Halcyon saw the truth, united us but the "noble" Jedi condemned her for it hiding behind purity while reaping her victories. I see their hypocrisy their fear of power. I don't fight for their approval; I fight for the innocent for the trust the galaxy once gave us. My nightmares aren't of battle they're of peace of waking in a soft bed knowing evil festers while I rest. I dream of doing it right saving everyone but reality is my true horror.
Empress Teta was my breaking point. Maya's betrayal her gleeful slaughter with Veles pushed me into Oneness. I became the Force my self vanished, my senses spanned galaxies, my strikes shattered armies. It was freedom but it terrified me. What am I without my pain, my fight? I stared at Maya's tears with disgust not for her Sith turn, but for her weakness, her fickle return. Betrayal isn't just a choice; it's a wound on those who trusted you. I fight because I must, because I'm the shield, the sword, taking on the darkness so others don't have to.
I know I'll never know peace. My life is a storm, and I've made it my strength. I'm not a hero I'm a survivor, a weapon forged from loss. The Jedi call me Master, but I'm just Saki, standing on the line saying, "No further." This holocron is my legacy, not for glory, but to teach others how to wield their storms to protect when all else fails. Might isn't right it's for right.

HISTORICAL INFORMATION
Notes from Gatekeeper on their creator:The Jedi Dimension Style Holocron was crafted by Saki, a Hapan Jedi Master of the Jedi Orders at the age of 16. A testament to her extraordinary life forged in the crucible of war, betrayal and unrelenting duty. Born into the opulent yet tumultuous world of Hapan nobility on Gallinore, Saki's early years were a paradox of privilege and emotional neglect. As the sole daughter of a prominent noble family she was groomed as an heiress in a matriarchal society her every whim indulged, her tantrums celebrated as displays of strength. Yet, beneath this gilded facade a storm brewed her unchecked rage fueled by entitlement and the subtle insecurity of her sister Elara's birth as a "backup" heir created a volatile child with immense, untapped Force potential. At seven, a catastrophic incident an unconscious Force outburst that violently hurled a servant girl across a room shattered her world. Her parents, prioritizing their family's reputation exiled her to the Jedi Temple on Coruscant, framing it as a noble pursuit but leaving Saki feeling abandoned and betrayed.
At the Jedi Temple, Saki's raw power and emotional maelstrom caught the attention of the Jedi Council. Grandmaster Watts and Battlemaster Wraith recognized her potential but also her danger assigning her to Master Denko a controversial Jedi skilled in Vaapad. Denko, unlike traditional Jedi, saw Saki's fury not as a flaw but as a wellspring of power. He thrust her into the aggressive forms of Juyo and Vaapad teaching her to channel her emotions into devastating combat prowess. This unconventional training transformed Saki into a child soldier, her childhood replaced by battlefields. By age nine she was fighting alongside Denko in the escalating war against the Sith her lightsaber a blur of controlled chaos. Her proficiency in Vaapad while effective alarmed the Council who feared her reliance on such a precarious form at so young an age. Battlemaster Wraith's investigation confirmed her skill but highlighted the psychological toll her rage while harnessed was a crutch masking deeper emotional wounds.
Saki's meteoric rise through the Jedi ranks was marked by a series of harrowing battles that shaped her into a living weapon. At ten, during the skirmish on Manaan she dove into perilous waters to save a Selkath girl only to be swallowed by a sea leviathan. Her desperate escape carving through the beast's stomach and subsequent rescue by the girl she saved taught her a humbling lesson: her power alone was not enough; survival often depended on others. At eleven, the Battle of Metalorn confronted her with a Sith engineered horror poisoned prisoners driven to homicidal madness. Forced to fight innocent victims, Saki emerged blood-soaked and traumatized her rage intensified by the Sith's cruelty. Her actions saved a Republic squad but the psychological scars deepened her cynicism and distrust of peace.
At twelve, during the Togruta genocide on Shili, Saki's and Master Denko turned the tide against Kaine. Her purple lightsaber carved through Sith forces protecting countless lives and earning her an unprecedented field promotion to Jedi Knight. The title was less an honor than a necessity reflecting the Order's desperate need for warriors. At thirteen, she returned to the Hapes Consortium now a battleground for Sith incursions. Alongside padawan Vulpesen but she fought a losing battle surviving a devastating orbital strike that glassed her homeworld. The loss of her home coupled with the fall of fellow Jedi to the dark side further eroded her trust in the Order's unity.
By fourteen, Saki faced the Battle of Hoylin against the Dark Harvesters, pushing her physical and mental limits. In a desperate act, she shattered a falling star destroyer with Force-enhanced strikes saving a city but depleting herself. This feat cemented her reputation as a force of nature, leading to her promotion to Jedi Master an honor burdened by the weight of her war torn existence. The betrayal of Master Denko defecting to the Confederacy of Independent Systems with healer Feena Mason was the ultimate blow. His leaving motivated by disillusionment with the Jedi and Republic. Left Saki alone with her emotional foundation shattered. She channeled this pain into her training, seeking out the Matukai to master physical enhancement making her body as hard as diamond and her fists capable of shaking mountains. The Shapers of Kro Var, drawn to her "storm," taught her elemental manipulation, further refining her combat style.
The Jedi Dimension Style was born from these experiences, a synthesis of Saki's diverse trainings and her need to channel her pain into protective strength. The holocron was crafted during the Second Sith War a period of galactic turmoil where Saki led critical missions. The Battle of Daalang exemplified her style's devastating potential. Leading a Republic task force against Black Sun and Sith forces as she executed an orbital drop tearing through a slaver ship's hull with Force-enhanced fists. On the ground, she wielded Earth Shaping to split terrain, Water Shaping to flood emplacements and Vaapad driven strikes to dismantle enemies. Her duel with the mercenarries showcased her integration of Teräs Käsi precision and Matukai strength disarming them with a ground shattering quake. The battle's climax saw her board a Sith flagship using elemental manipulation to neutralize a Twi'lek commander, securing the planet but deepening her cynicism at the sight of enslaved miners.
The Battle of Empress Teta was a pivotal moment where Saki's confrontation with Maya Whitelight's betrayal pushed her into Oneness with the Force. Maya's defection to the One Sith to join her lover Veles along with the killing of several jedi unleashed Saki's full power. In this state, she became a conduit of raw energy her senses spanning the galaxy her strikes devastating Sith forces. The experience, while victorious left her isolated grappling with the fear of losing herself to the Force. This moment crystallized the holocron's teachings, emphasizing the balance between rage and restraint, power and duty. Subsequent battles Ossus, Rakata Prime, Tund, Dathomir, Gratos, and Alderaan further refined her style, each conflict adding layers to the holocron's knowledge of combat, survival and emotional resilience.
The holocron's creation was a deliberate act to preserve Saki's legacy not for glory but to ensure future Jedi could wield power without succumbing to darkness. It reflects her evolution from a volatile child to a guardian who transforms pain into a shield for the innocent. The teachings emphasize adaptability using environmental hazards (like Daalang's storms) and emotional purging (via Vaapad loops) to forge warriors capable of facing betrayal and war. Saki's experiences with the Matukai and Shapers combined with her Jedi and Teräs Käsi training make the holocron a unique repository of combat wisdom tailored for a galaxy in constant conflict.
