– Vega Askani
Vega Askani is a Force-sensitive traveler, freelance courier and occasional bounty hunter belonging to Clan Askani, a culture of Force-users, warriors, and agents descended spiritually and culturally from the teachings of Mother Askani. Born in 1045 ABY, Askani was raised to recognize and navigate fractures in the Force known as Force ruptures. Like others of her lineage, she possesses an affinity for mental and extrasensory abilities, though her education extends beyond the traditions of the Jedi.
While investigating a rupture whose effects reverberated across time, Vega and fellow traveler Daelon were displaced. Stranded centuries from home, Vega survived along the galactic fringe as a courier and occasional bounty hunter while honing the Askani disciplines necessary to navigate the ruptures. Her growing command of those abilities eventually allowed the pair to trace the disturbance to 905 ABY, bringing them closer to its origins and into the lifetime of Mother Askani, and the beginning of Clan Askani itself.
Born in 1045 ABY, Vega Askani belonged to a generation that inherited a galaxy already diminished by the failures of those who came before it. She was raised within Clan Askani, a people bound not necessarily by blood, but by shared teachings, memory, and necessity. Warriors, scholars, agents, refugees, and Force-sensitives endured together in a world where survival had become inseparable from preparation. Vega learned history alongside navigation, languages alongside fieldcraft, and grew up on accounts of Jedi, fallen worlds, and battles fought centuries before her birth whose consequences her generation still endured.
Possessing an exceptional capacity for analysis and memory, Vega developed an early fascination with the past and the patterns connecting it to the world around her. Her sensitivity to the Force eventually drew her toward the disciplines of the Travelers, a specialized tradition within the Clan concerned with studying Force ruptures and the pathways connected to them. Her education began with mathematics, navigation, numerology, ward inscription, meditation, and the interpretation of spatial and metaphysical anomalies before progressing into the dangerous practice of Askani Pathfinding.
By adulthood, Vega had learned to survive beyond the Clan as readily as within it, eventually finding work along the galactic fringe as a freelance courier and occasional bounty hunter. It was practical work for someone accustomed to moving between dangerous places, and it carried her farther from home as her abilities developed. Long before Vega ever traveled into the past, however, she had been raised among people living with its consequences.
▲. Superb Analysis & Retention – She possesses exceptional analytical and memory-retention skills, capable of quickly processing information, identifying patterns, and recalling even minute details with remarkable accuracy.
◆. Askani Conditioning – Raised among the Askani, Vega was taught to guard her thoughts, recognize psychic intrusion, and operate around telepaths. This makes her naturally guarded and difficult to read, but she can be equally reluctant to open herself completely to others. And by extension her Force education is broad but unconventional. Askani training emphasized survival, mental discipline, pathfinding, anchoring and specialized techniques rather than the comprehensive curriculum of say i.e a Jedi Order.
◆. Hypersensitive Hearing – Vega hears exceptionally well, but that's not entirely beneficial. Extremely loud or high-frequency sounds can overwhelm her more easily than an average human.
▼. Poor Night Vision – Vega's eyesight adjusts slowly to low-light environments. Without her senses she is considerably less effective in darkness.
▼. Anesthetic Allergy – Vega is severely allergic to several commonly used anesthetics, complicating surgical procedures and emergency medical treatment.▼. Traveler's Exhaustion – Askani Pathfinding is not teleportation, nor is it a means of freely traveling through time at will; Travelers are ultimately constrained by the ruptures, pathways available to them, and the rules of the World Between Worlds, and navigating those phenomena does not come without consequence. Navigating Force ruptures is a risk and science that requires a particular skillset, intense concentration, physical endurance, and mentally resolving the right underlying calculations, with no reel guarantees – it can leave you physically exhausted and mentally depleted, sometimes for days or weeks at a time. Greater distances, unstable ruptures, or attempts to deliberately navigate toward a particular destination dramatically increase the strain.
▼. Temporal Scarring – Repeated displacement through unstable Force ruptures has left subtle physiological damage. Vega experiences intermittent bouts of tremors, sensory disturbance, and sometimes phantom pain associated with prior injuries. The tremor in one hand becomes more pronounced under physical exhaustion, stress, or after extensive Force use. Usually negligible, but fine motor control and precision become increasingly difficult when she's pushed too far.
Raised within the traditions of Clan Askani, Vega received an unconventional education in the Force that emphasized mental discipline, memory sharing, heightened perception, and the specialized pathfinding arts practiced by Askani Travelers (Usually working as a team). These teachings were supplemented by more conventional applications of the Force and martial training, producing a versatile but highly specialized skill set. Though such disciplines are practiced among the Askani, not all possess an affinity for the mental arts, nor are all capable of becoming Travelers. Vega demonstrated an aptitude for both, though the more advanced techniques of her training remain skills still being refined.
Bendu Warding predates the Askani, an esoteric discipline of the Force built upon numerology and the relationship between numbers and metaphysical concepts. Mother Askani first encountered the practice through the Bendu of Eadu, recording what she learned of its associations with stability, time, parallel worlds, confluence, and other properties of the Force. The discipline loosely survived within the Clan, where generations of Askani expanded upon them and eventually incorporated elements of Bendu Warding into the developing traditions of the Travelers. Though the broader art extends well beyond their purpose, Travelers study those principles most applicable to their work, using numerical relationships and constructed wards to interact with Force Ruptures, reinforce unstable boundaries, and impose order upon spaces where time, causality, or the Force have become distorted.
Askani Pathfinding is not teleportation, nor is it a means of freely traveling through time at will; Travelers are ultimately constrained by the ruptures, pathways available to them, and the rules of the World Between Worlds, and navigating those phenomena does not come without consequence. Traveling through such phenomena is equal parts risk and science, requiring a particular skillset, intense concentration, physical endurance, and the ability to mentally resolve the underlying calculations necessary to determine and maintain a viable path. Even then, there are no real guarantees. Ruptures can shift, collapse, branch, or lead somewhere—or somewhen—other than intended. Warding (Bendu numerology), Pathfinding, and Anchoring therefore function as complementary disciplines: methods developed by the Travelers to understand a rupture, chart a path through it, stabilize what can be stabilized, and survive what cannot.

Lightsaber
The upper grip transitioned into exposed, concentrically machined sections of darkened metal before terminating in a layered emitter assembly. Raised rings surrounded the emitter neck, while an asymmetrical shroud partially enclosed the blade aperture. When activated, the weapon produced a yellow blade. Its exterior bore visible scratches, discoloration, and wear rather than ornamental detailing, giving the lightsaber the appearance of a weapon intended to survive prolonged use in the field.
Traveler's Bodysuit
Vega's field attire consisted of a fitted, armored bodysuit designed for mobility and extended travel rather than conventional Jedi robes. The suit was primarily constructed from dark olive green material, reinforced across the torso by segmented copper colored armor panels arranged in an angular pattern over the chest and abdomen. Additional muted bronze and brown reinforcement followed the waist and hips, giving the garment a layered construction without substantially restricting movement.Protection was deliberately asymmetrical. Vega wore a weathered metal pauldron over one shoulder, accompanied by a reinforced sleeve and forearm guard on the same arm, while the opposite arm remained largely exposed apart from a bracer and upper arm band. Fingerless gloves, armored knee plates, and additional lower leg wrappings completed the ensemble. A high collar and loosely wrapped taupe travel scarf protected her neck and lower face when necessary, while a long, weathered mantle fell from the shoulders and could serve as limited protection against dust, wind, and harsh environments.
Vega belongs to a lineage whose recorded origins stretch back to the High Republic and Jedi Master Avar Kriss, whose descendants would eventually form the House of Jade. Generations later came Loudomi Jade and her daughter, Romi Jade—better known to Vega's people as Mother Askani—whose marriage to Johannes Inkari continued the line through their daughter, Cortana Jade-Inkari. Across the centuries that followed, their descendants became intertwined with the emerging Clan Askani, culminating generations later in Vega's birth in 1045 ABY.
