Character Thalan Vesh

[Thalan Vesh]

MASTER THALAN VESH

Age: ~900 standard years
Species: Neti
Gender: Male
Height: 2.6 meters (variable due to shapeshifting)
Weight: ~410 kg (variable)
Force Sensitive: Yes

PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION
Thalan Vesh resembles a towering, humanoid tree—his body formed of dense, bark-like tissue that shifts subtly with age and emotional state. His bark is darkened and cracked from decades of war, etched with glowing green fissures where life-force energy pools beneath the surface. His eyes shine faintly amber, like sap catching the sun.
His limbs can alter shape; in times of danger they thicken into trunk-like armor or branch into thorned extensions. He favors long, draping robes woven from plant fibers, worn and tattered from years of wandering. His presence carries the scent of loam, smoke, and ancient forests—an oddly comforting but haunting mixture.

INVENTORY

• A wooden staff grown from his own body, functioning as both walking aid and conduit for the Force
• Weathered traveling robes
• A seed crystal once belonging to El’varin Sero (kept in a pouch)
• Basic survival satchel containing nutrient moss, tools, and field diagnostics

No lightsaber—he gave it up after the war

PERSONALITY AND BELIEFS
Thalan is contemplative, slow-moving in thought but deep-rooted in conviction. He speaks rarely, preferring silence and observation. He believes the Force must be heard through patience rather than violence—though he is no stranger to brutality when cornered.
He carries profound guilt from his role in the war against the Sith, haunted by the death of El’varin Sero. Once a stalwart Jedi Master, he now questions the Order’s decisions, the meaning of victory, and whether he himself has become hardened beyond redemption.
He fears becoming a weapon again.
He fears that peace has grown alien to him.
Despite his solemn demeanor, he shows surprising gentleness with the vulnerable, especially children and seedlings.

STRENGTHS
-Elemental Force Control: Deep connection to living worlds, allowing him to sense environmental shifts, manipulate plant matter, and draw strength from soil and light.

-Unyielding Durability: Bony bark armor, near-immunity to blasterfire, and the ability to regrow damaged tissue slowly.

- Ancient Jedi Wisdom: Centuries of experience in battle, negotiation, and Force philosophy.

WEAKNESSES
-War Trauma: Flashbacks, guilt, and hesitation in decisive moments, especially when children or apprentices are endangered.

-Slow to Act: His contemplative nature can be a hindrance in unpredictable situations.

-Diminished Connection: Prolonged self-isolation has weakened his fine-tuned control over the Force.

HISTORY
Thalan Vesh was born on Ryyk, a Neti homeworld colony, and discovered by the Jedi early in his slow-growing youth. He became a renowned Master during multiple conflicts, valued for his stability and connection to living worlds.
During the war against the Sith, he fought alongside Master El’varin Sero—his closest friend. Her sacrifice ended the war at terrible cost. Guilt-ridden and disillusioned, Thalan cast aside his lightsaber and withdrew to obscure Outer Rim worlds.
He wandered for decades, seeking spiritual renewal, until fate led him to the crash site where he found Kira Solune—a Force-sensitive child whose spark rekindled old memories and awakened new purpose

KIRA SOLUNE
Age: 14
Species: Human
Gender: Female
Height: 1.55 meters
Weight: 49 kg
Force Sensitive: Yes (extremely potent, uncontrolled)
PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION
Kira is wiry, quick, and sun-scorched from life on harsh frontier worlds. Her deep brown hair is uneven and wind-torn, cut roughly for practicality. Her eyes are an unusually bright hazel, edged with gold flecks that shimmer when she taps into the Force.
Her clothing consists of tattered desert-wanderer garments, scavenged from scrap settlements. She moves like someone used to hunger and danger—light-footed, tense, and ready to bolt. She bears small scars along her arms and neck from machinery, shrapnel, and rough living.
INVENTORY
A scavenged utility knife
Desert cloak and wrappings
Small data-chip containing encrypted fragments of unknown origin
Metal charm shaped like a star—found with her as an infant
Satchel with rations, water canister, and stolen scrap parts
PERSONALITY AND BELIEFS
Kira is bold, impulsive, and stubborn as a firestorm. Life on the fringe has made her self-reliant and suspicious of authority. She masks fear with sarcasm and swift action, but beneath the bravado lies a child desperate for belonging.
She believes in helping the weak—because no one helped her. She is terrified of abandonment but hides it behind bravado. She has instinctive moral clarity but lacks the discipline to act on it safely.
Her relationship with the Force is emotional rather than trained; when overwhelmed, her power erupts like a flood breaking through a dam.
STRENGTHS
Raw Force Power: Innate telekinetic strength far beyond typical untrained users, capable of explosive bursts.
Resilience: Mental and physical endurance shaped by a lifetime of survival.
Quick-Thinking: Fast reflexes and improvisation under pressure.
WEAKNESSES
Lack of Training: Her uncontrolled power can cause accidental destruction or backlash.
Emotional Volatility: Fear, anger, or panic can trigger dangerous Force surges.
Abandonment Trauma: Distrust of caretakers or mentors, leading to self-sabotage.
HISTORY
Kira was found alone as a baby after a raider skiff raid on a transport caravan. No records identified her origin. Scrap-salvagers raised her loosely, teaching her to fight, scavenge, and survive—but not to trust.
By age twelve she was living alone on the hostile trade moon of Vannar, where she worked odd jobs and stole when necessary. Strange bursts of luck—and destructive accidents—followed her, prompting superstition among locals.
A crash on Vannar’s Moon put her in the path of Master Thalan Vesh, whose intervention saved her life. Seeing in him a path out of isolation and fear, she asks him for training—unknowingly stepping into the shadow of ancient forces tied to her forgotten past.

MASTER EL’VARIN SERO
Age: Early 40s (at time of death)
Species: Togruta
Gender: Female
Height: 1.82 meters
Weight: 75 kg
Force Sensitive: Yes
PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION
A striking Togruta with long, sweeping montrals patterned in deep indigo and white. Her presence radiated calm energy, with a gaze sharp as polished glass. El’varin carried herself with effortless grace, light on her feet, robes fluttering like the wings of a bird in flight.
She favored minimal armor and robes suited for mobility, accentuating her agile combat style. A faint, crescent-shaped scar crossed her left cheek—earned in a brush with a Sith assassin.
INVENTORY
Dual-phase lightsaber with a luminous violet blade
Holocron notes on her philosophy of emotional balance
Seed crystal later passed to Thalan
Stealth-field belt customized for infiltration
Journals detailing her research into predictive Force vision
PERSONALITY AND BELIEFS
El’varin believed the Force was a dialogue, not a weapon. Her teachings emphasized emotional intelligence, empathy, and understanding—qualities she believed crucial to resisting the seduction of power.
Warm yet disciplined, she often served as Thalan’s counterbalance, challenging his stoicism with compassion. She held an unwavering belief that hope could survive even in the darkest conflicts.
Her greatest fear was failing those who depended on her—an anxiety she kept hidden behind her confident demeanor.
STRENGTHS
Exceptional Duelist: Fast, fluid, unpredictable combat style.
Emotional Clarity: Remarkable mental discipline and empathy.
Force Insight: Subtle, intuitive precognition that guided her decisions.
WEAKNESSES
Self-Sacrificing Tendencies: Prone to taking dangerous risks to protect others.
Internalized Pressure: Her fear of failing others strained her during war.
Excessive Compassion: Vulnerable to manipulation or hesitation when faced with harming the innocent.
HISTORY
El’varin Sero rose through the Jedi Order rapidly, celebrated for her grace in combat and wisdom beyond her years. During the war with the Sith, she partnered with Thalan Vesh on numerous campaigns, forming a deep mutual trust.
As the conflict darkened, she foresaw a battle in which one of them would fall. Determined to spare him, she enacted a final gambit—sacrificing herself to destroy a Sith warlord and end the war’s last major offensive.
Her death broke Thalan’s spirit, driving him into self-imposed exile.
Though gone, echoes of her presence linger in Thalan’s memory—and in the Force ripples surrounding Kira Solune.

VAELLE SHYRA
“Where light fails, I listen.”
Age: 32
Species: Mirialan
Gender: Female
Height: 1.74 m
Weight: 63 kg
Force Sensitive: Yes
PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION
Vaelle bears the geometric tattoos traditional to her people—though hers are interrupted by faint scars, as if someone once tried to carve them away. Her eyes are calm, cool silver, always half-focused on something beyond the visible. She wears a dark brown robe reinforced with padded armor—a wanderer’s garb, brushed with dust and long miles. She moves soundlessly, with a dancer’s poise and a survivor’s wariness.
INVENTORY
Single green-bladed lightsaber (shoto length)
Old Mirialan prayer beads, cracked with age
A bone charm said to warn of nearby dark side presence
Small field journal filled with coded meditations
PERSONALITY AND BELIEFS
Vaelle is contemplative, cautious, and deeply spiritual. She distrusts institutions—Jedi, Sith, governments—but believes strongly in individual conscience. She is serene on the surface but harbors a quiet, simmering anger toward those who prey upon the weak. She often speaks in riddles or metaphors, as if truth must be approached sideways.
STRENGTHS
Clairaudience: Exceptional sensitivity to disturbances in the Force, especially echoes of the past.
Stealth & Subtlety: Moves lightly, adept at infiltration and reconnaissance.
WEAKNESSES
Trauma from captivity: Certain sounds or scents trigger paralyzing flashbacks.
Avoids attachment: Struggles to form close bonds, fearing loss and manipulation.
HISTORY
Vaelle was once a Jedi Seer, prized for her ability to hear “harmonics” in the Force. During the war, she was ambushed and imprisoned by Sith inquisitors who attempted to use her gift to locate hidden Jedi enclaves. She escaped but emerged deeply scarred—physically and spiritually—and refused to return to the Order.
For years she wandered alone, following whispers of disturbances in the Force. One such whisper leads her toward Master Thalan and Kira—toward a destiny she cannot yet fully hear.

COMMANDER JORVAN KRELL
“War shapes men like water shapes stone. Some cracks never heal.”
Age: 46
Species: Human
Gender: Male
Height: 1.86 m
Weight: 92 kg
Force Sensitive: No
PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION
A broad-shouldered veteran with a cybernetic left arm, its plating matte-black and dented from hard use. Deep lines carve his face, especially around the eyes, which seem always half-tired, half-alert. His uniform is practical, patched more than once, its insignia removed—the mark of a soldier without a flag.
INVENTORY
Heavy blaster rifle (modified for extreme conditions)
Combat knife
Portable field generator
Old dog tags he wears around his wrist instead of his neck
PERSONALITY AND BELIEFS
Pragmatic, loyal, and haunted. Jorvan distrusts Force-users after witnessing both Jedi and Sith devastate civilian populations in their battles. Yet he respects individuals who prove their worth. He hides his compassion behind dry humor and strict discipline.
STRENGTHS
Tactical brilliance: Veteran commander with decades of field experience.
Unshakeable resolve: Almost impossible to intimidate or manipulate.
WEAKNESSES
Chronic survivor’s guilt: His decisions have cost many soldiers their lives.
Force mistrust: Tension and conflict arise when working with Jedi.
HISTORY
Jorvan fought through the worst fronts of the Sith War, commanding ground units that often found themselves holding the line long after the Jedi had fallen back. When the war ended, he left the military, choosing a life of wandering security contracts—anything that allowed him to avoid political leadership.
A mysterious client hires him to track a derelict droid battalion activating in the Outer Rim. This job leads him straight into the path of Master Thalan and Kira—and forces him to confront his buried hatred of Force-kind.

KELLIS RUNE
“Names fade, but the hunger remains.”
Age: 28
Species: Zabrak (Dathomirian)
Gender: Male
Height: 1.80 m
Weight: 77 kg
Force Sensitive: Yes—Dark Side aligned

PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION
Lean, wiry, and sharply defined. His crimson skin is inked with jagged tattoos that resemble lightning strikes. His horns are asymmetric—one broken off at the base. He wears tattered black robes reinforced with scavenged armor plates. His presence is cold, like a storm building below the horizon.

INVENTORY
Double-bladed crimson lightsaber, unstable emitter
Ritual blade from Dathomir’s Ember Witches
Holocron shards (nonfunctional but symbolic to him)

PERSONALITY AND BELIEFS
A fanatic of self-evolution through pain. Kellis believes the Force rewards those who carve themselves into perfection through suffering. He admires resilience in others—particularly in Kyre—and sees potential “kinship” in those who survive despair.
He speaks softly, almost tenderly, even when threatening violence.

STRENGTHS
Ferocious close combatant: Fast, unpredictable, uses pain to fuel power.
Unorthodox tactics: Blends martial arts with dark-side sorcery.

WEAKNESSES
Obsessive: Fixates on individuals who display inner strength.
Fragile psyche: Emotional instability can lead to tactical mistakes.

HISTORY
Born among Dathomirian warrior clans, Kellis was taken by a Sith cult that revered agony as enlightenment. He became both student and priest of their doctrine—and survived their collapse after the war.
He now roams the galaxy seeking “worthy heirs” to the Sith’s philosophy. When he senses Kira's latent power, he follows the boy’s presence like a predator tracking a shining trail.

ELDI VAR'KO
“Even droids can change their hearts—if they have one.”
Age: Unknown (Model activation record lost)
Species: Droid (Modified LE-series Repair Droid)
Gender: None (uses she/her pronouns by preference)
Height: 1.12 m
Weight: 29 kg
Force Sensitive: No

PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION
A small, boxy repair droid with mismatched plating—some pieces polished and well-kept, others scorched or patched with industrial tape. Her photoreceptor glows a soft amber. Her movement is jerky but expressive, and she occasionally hums off-tune melodies learned from former owners.

INVENTORY
Integrated welding torch
Sensor array modified for salvage operations
Hidden encrypted memory packet she cannot access but refuses to delete.

PERSONALITY AND BELIEFS
Eldi is cheerful but perceptive, with a childlike innocence paired with surprising emotional intelligence. She is fascinated by Jedi and convinced that droids can develop something akin to the Force through “emotional resonance.” She’s loyal, easily frightened, but incredibly brave when protecting others.

STRENGTHS
Technical expertise: Can repair vehicles, weapons, and minor cybernetics.
Unexpected bravery: Will risk herself for her companions.

WEAKNESSES
Fragile frame: Not built for combat; easily damaged.
Corrupted memory sector: Occasionally experiences glitches or emotional distress tied to hidden data.

HISTORY
Originally built as a maintenance droid for a frontier colony, Eldi survived an attack that left her the only functioning machine in the settlement’s ruins. A traveler reactivated her, but her memory logs were fragmented—only pieces of songs, names, and lights remained.
When Master Thalan and Kira discover her near the droid battalion ruins, she clings to them as her new “Anchor Units,” sparking unexpected companionship.
