OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION
PHYSICAL INFORMATION
  • Force Sensitivity: Master

SOCIAL INFORMATION
  • Wealth: No wealth - lives in seclusion
  • Notable Possessions: His lightsaber (formerly)
  • Skills: Jedi Training.
  • Languages: Basic
  • Personality: Vinorl is stoic, reflective, and ascetic. He values silence, internal balance, and detachment - though not in the cold, distant way often attributed to Jedi. His detachment is humble, as if he knows that even his own understanding is flawed. A devout follower of the Barash Vow, Vinorl withdrew from galactic affairs after an unnamed failure that shook his faith in the Order's decisions. To him, the Force is not an authority but a mirror, and he spends his life trying to understand what it reflects back at him.
COMBAT INFORMATION
  • Weapon of Choice:
    • The Force (primarily) - Form Zero
    • Lightsaber
    • Wits, pacifism, and insight – often disarms situations verbally or through subtle Force influence
  • Combat Function: Vinorl Kastan is not a frontline combatant, by choice and by philosophy. Having taken the Barash Vow, he actively avoids conflict unless absolutely necessary. In combat scenarios, his value lies in support, precognition, and battlefield awareness. He can serve as a strategic observer, detecting danger through the Force, or de-escalating violence through calm presence and words.

    He is a poor offensive ally but excels at aiding morale, warning of unseen threats, and anchoring others emotionally. In rare moments where he does engage, he demonstrates measured, defensive lightsaber technique and potent barrier and precognition use - enough to protect others or stall until allies arrive.
  • Force Abilities (Force Users Only):
    • Force Barrier – Defensive shielding to protect himself and allies
    • Precognition – Acute sensitivity to danger and emotion in the Force
    • Force Empathy – Can sense emotional states and gently influence calm
    • Force Light – Latent ability; rarely used, but manifests in his presence as a stabilizing influence
    • Telepathy – Subtle, typically used in one-to-one connection, especially in silence
    • Force Stun – Used only in last resort situations
Strengths:
  • Deep spiritual insight
  • Non-violent problem solving
Weaknesses:
  • Avoids confrontation to a fault
  • Haunted by regret
HISTORICAL INFORMATION
Vinorl Kastan was once a Jedi Knight of modest acclaim, never marked for the high chambers of Coruscant or whispered about in tales of war, but deeply respected in his own quiet way. He possessed a contemplative spirit, a depth that others leaned on. A Jedi who listened more than he spoke, and whose presence was said to quiet even the most turbulent Force currents in a room. He trained a single Padawan in his years, and served the Order during the twilight of the Second Great Hyperspace War. But war, as it always does, left scars.

Vinorl grew disillusioned with the path the Jedi had taken. Not in rage. Not in rebellion. But in sorrow. When his Padawan fell in a campaign he never believed in, Vinorl's quiet doubts became conviction. He relinquished his commission and took the Barash Vow, not as punishment, but as penance. He would remove himself from the Jedi, from galactic affairs, and from the illusion of control. He disappeared into the Outer Rim, where records ended and meditation could begin.

Exile brought him to Dathomir. Why Dathomir? Even he could not say. He followed the Force, and the Force led him there. Among the whispering trees and red soil, Vinorl found a strange sort of peace. The Nightsisters, initially wary, left him alone. An old Jedi sitting beneath the trees, speaking to no one but the wind.

But one girl came to him. A child, young and sharp-eyed, cloaked in crimson. Her name, if he ever knew it then, was not spoken aloud. She did not challenge him, only asked questions; about the stars, about the Order, about the Force that pulsed beneath her skin and pulled at her fate. Though their relationship remained shrouded in mystery, it's known they formed a rare, quiet bond over years of secret meetings.

Years passed. When she returned to him, now a woman cloaked in crimson and sorrow, she carried a child in her arms - a boy born of love and defiance. In that moment, Vinorl made a choice that would define his legacy. He did not return to the Order, nor raise the child himself. Instead, he entrusted the boy's future to the will of the Force. As a final gesture, he gave the woman his lightsaber, not as a weapon, but as a tether. A legacy. A thread. One day, it would find its way into the boy's hands.

Alright so from what I can tell, this is a very well thought out and worked on Submission. You have the Lightsaber owned by the man, a thread mentioning him, as well as a blog post written in character pertaining to the character. Well thought out.

So I have two things. One is to provide clarification.

You mention the character is a "Jedi Knight" in the body of the History, but then have the listing of them as a "Master" I am assuming that the term Knight used in the body is that they are "Knightly" or a formidable Warrior for the Jedi, and not actually using the term of "Jedi Knight" to signify rank. If this is different please provide changes to make these fit together.

Second, is a recommendation for the character.
Having taken the Barash Vow, he actively avoids conflict unless absolutely necessary. In combat scenarios, his value lies in support, precognition, and battlefield awareness.
the barash vow some people won't know what it is, so I recommend linking it for those who want it. Secondly, I can provide you the link for what is called "Form Zero" which is a lightsaber training form that matches this character very well and can be added into the submission should you want it.

Yeah, I was writing it having in mind that Kastan left the Order as a Jedi Knight. But years of solitude and training on Dathomir elevated him to the level of a Jedi Master despite not officially having the rank. But if that is an issue, I'll change it. No problem.

Added the link to the Barash Vow and thank you for the recommendation! I've added that too!
