18159812_wufbGHVoRDawxOY.pngQuick Facts: 
  • Has a huge passion for food. With each new planet and station he is sure to be found enjoying and trying the new local cuisine. His only rule is that it can't be currenly alive when he eats it.
  • He really dislikes politics, yet he navigates them really well. He is able to read rooms clearly and gives confident deliveries. For as much as he dislikes it, he does find satisfaction and pride in the victories and sees them as an area he can do the most good. Especially at seeing the corrupt fall.
  • He feels a compassion for people who stay on-world and uphold their local and traditional lifestyles and values. So often such culture can be stolen from peoples that he does work as he can to help preserve and protect them.
  • Very protective of his Ho'din companion and friend. His safety is always foremost in the young Twi'lek's mind.
  • Often accepts small trinkets and scraps that he uses as trophies from those he helps. Small reminders of the good he's been able to do when things aren't going well.
  • Family oriented and does come to enjoy children around.
  • Has a strong touch adversion. Even his handshakes are often short. He doesn't really show affection with physical contact very often. The only exception is with Lohvin, who he will freely hug and give physical support when its needed.
  • When under his chronic pain flair-ups, his senses sharpen in the wrong sorts of ways. Smells will make him nauteous. Sounds are louder and resonate. Light causes pain.
  • He has a very strong connection with the Force with a lot of potential. Which is often tempered and sometimes culled with the painful episodes. As though his body can't handle such a strong connection to the Force.

Personality
Initial impressions show him to be quiet and shy. He doesn't engage with others casually and preferes to remain in the background observing.
With friends and those he trusts, he shows more his true personality. He's clever and sly. Well humored and quick witted.
When he's in a more formal social setting like a meeting or political debate, he is a blend of the two. He's quiet and observant. Yet still confident and able to share his side and views clearly while reading well the room.

Knowledge and Schooling
The first few years of his life he was homeschooled by his mother on their desert planet.
When he was discovered by accident by a Jedi Knight, it was decided the boy would be taken to a secret jedi academy for further jedi training. His years as an apprentice was filled with study and structure.

Beliefs and Morals (spiritual/religious and social)
Could be described as a chaotic good character. He ultimately is selfless and works for the betterment of people around him. But he doesnt' always follow the societal laws and rules. The ones that don't make sense or actively hamper others and feels more an oppression.

Family Values
Very family minded but feels disconnected from it.

Political Views
He's more sympathetic with the Republic due to its free spirit and morals of its people. However he's seen enough to know it is just as rotten inside like the Empire is. There are no friends in politics and every faction has their corruption and dirt. However, he can't say he hates the Empire either. He sees the big larger goal behind their idea but he can't support their overall morals. He prefers equality, or at least something close to it. Where the Empire's mostly Imperial systems often handle his own race no better than a slave-race. This won't stop him from conducting negotiations with the Empire and handle them just as fair he would any Republic social calls.

Technology Views
Ano is overall neutral about it. There are some aspects he uses and even enjoys having but some he just not that interested in or finds it curious. He does carry heavier interest in technology blocking or countering Force powers or the flow of the Force. Wanting to study and figure out how to work against such tech if used against him.

Speech Patterns
Well spoken, intelligent, articulate. Doesn't use much slang.

Prejudices or Strong Distrusts
He trusts very few people to begin with, and none particularly he would really heavily distrust. In his line of work there are a lot of questionable people that he will distrust with good reason. Yet he tends to see and trying to understand reasons behind every person he is dealing with and according their actual motivation decide how he personally would feel of them.
There are people he dislike and would not put his life in their hands but nobody would really earn harsher feelings from him.

Goals and Motivations
This is where he has become a bit split from the Order. His motivation aren't 100% dedicated to the Order as he sees things a lot more grey and toned to devote himself to either the dark or light side. He does agree a lot what the Jedi stands for but seeing their flaws. Yet he does see the need of having the Order even after the Clone Wars and the mistrust they were framed with.
By this his goals are to successfully navigate between both ends of the rope and connect the mutual interest of both. He is allied with the Jedi Order and has good connections with it, but not all of his dealing favoring their goals fully. He though cherished ally to them with actual friends and supporters.

Fears
He has an odd discomfort and fear of slavery - especially forced prostitution. A lot of this fear was picked up from his home village which was founded by outlaw Twi'lek daughters who escaped into the surface instead being offered to Hutt crimelords in return to save their family Ryll mines. With that slavery was demonized and he carried this with him into his adulthood. The other fear of his would be capture, loss of freedom.

Combat Style
Ano's not one to engage in a direct fight or combat, though if forced he is a decent opponent with a two sided purple lightsaber. While it is not his strength it also not his primary approach to problematic situations. He's usually well protected by his ties and connections. His fighting style more defensive then aggressive, Ano does not like to kill but he will if it will support a certain balance or he is forced to.
Publicly he is master of words, cunning with a huge amount of sass to easily win supporters with his charm. Behind the scenes he is a silent shadow easily slipping through open windows and doors to do his personal investigation. He might be more comfortable in a conference room, but he won't shy away from going after the needed information in other ways. Even if it includes stalking and spying. He is athletic with a great sense of balance he can support with his Force if needed to get through obstacles.
He prefers having information and facts first. Difinitive proof of wrongdoing of those needing to be judged in order to pull the corrupt seed out from its roots.

Force Powers

  • Telekinesis- The ability to levitate objects with the mind. Difficulty is based on weight and complexity of the skill use.
  • Control Breathing- Allows the force user to pull oxygen from the surrounding atmosphere to control their breathing. Can let those above water breathe under it with no mask or respirators, Or dodge breathing in poisonous gas. Only works if there is sufficient oxygen levels around to sustain life. (ie won't work in the vacuum of space.)
  • Contort Escape- Allows the force user to contort and twist themselves to escape bonds. Difficulty is based on they type of bonds and how many bonds are used. Does not block the pain of the contortions. Has to be physically possible.
  • Control Pain- Ability to control the pain he feels. Works mildly for his episodes. Especially the lighter ones. The heavy ones it hardly touches or holds off. Effective for other pain and injury he might recieve too.
  • Emptiness- An advanced meditative state in which the force user allows the force to flow through them. Can be used to mask location from force detection or effect the user with force abilities. Force Users who come out of Emptiness trance find the force easier to channel and use for a time lasting about as long as they meditated for. Darkside coded force users cannot use this as they can't reach this level of calm and surrendering of the self.
  • Enchance Attribute- The force user can use the force to enhance a single attribute for a short period of time. Not based on their own perception senses. But can be used to alter physical attractiveness, physical strength, physical dexterity, etc.
  • Resist Stun- The force user can resist a stun or a blow that would knock the user unconscious.
  • Farseeing- A sort of short-term trance that allows the force user can see a snapshot in time based on intent. They can only catch a few minutes of the time they are looking in. Difficulty is based on distance from target/location as well as how familiar the force user is with the target/location. The future is subject to change and is always hazy/fluid where present and past is clear.
  • Lightsaber Combat- The ability to activate and properly use a lightsaber.
  • Lesser Force Shield- A shield that can block both energy and physical matter away from the barrier. Difficulty increases based on how large a shield is made as well as if the Jedi attempts to shield only themselves or project the shield around a larger area.
  • Force Push/Pull- This differs from telekinesis in that it is more generating a shockwave of Force that is pushed forward or pulled towards the jedi, instead of directly controlling matter. The bigger the wave the heavier the items that can be push/pulled but also the harder it is to do.
  • Absort/Dissipate energy- Allows the user to absorb and disperse forms of energy. Protecting the User from shocks, blaster bolts, opposing Force powers, and other forms of energy. Easier for static sources. Much harder for sources in motion.
  • [DS] Aura Of Unease- Allows the Force User to project a feeling of discomfort and disquiet around themselves that encourages others to avoid the user.
  • [DS] Feed On Darkside- Allows the Force User to use the negative emotions around themselves to boost their own abilities. The user doesn't have to cause those negative feelings. Just allows the use if they are there.
  • [DS] Force Wind- Allows the user to create harsh tornados and twisters that spiral and rip through an area, causing destruction and chaos.
18159475_OhjdMBIOyU3bk6O.pngBackground Story

Ano is son of an outlaw Twi'lek woman from a village who was funded and formed by escaped Twi'leks. These outlaws didn't want to perpetuate the law to sacrifice their daughters to the local ruling crimelords. An act that was done to protect the rest of the family from being enslaved and exploited in they Ryll mines.
With that, the village primary populated by females where males were cherished and in demand. The women held the home and villiage. Working with the land and building protections against the harsh environment. The men were the future of their structure. They were tasked with leaving the village to trade excess crops or material goods with other villiages and cities on the planet.

So when Ano was born it was a blessing and highly cherished. Even against the strange pain episodes he was having already at young age. His mysterious pains made him sickly as a child often sheltered and locked inside their house, prevent him from mix and play with others of his age. This though not stopped the young boy to find a way and sneak out still play with the other kids whenever he could.
To save his friendship he early learnt how to fake a smile over the pain periods if it caught him out of the house. His affinity to the Force manifested early but was only known more among the other children. So it was more often turned into child's play and that made made him popular among the other kids of the villiage. Though everything has an end. The more he used his levitating powers the stronger his pain periods became and the harder it was to mask it from the others. Resulting in a divide between him and them. The random bleeding and cramps made the kids frame him as a freak. Instead of wonder, his powers became subject of jealousy.

With that he closed himself off and withdrew his adventurous mindset. Becoming friends more with adults over children of his age. His life took another drastic turn when his father took him out to show him his work. Work he was to one day inherit from him as an adult. But on their path back, nature sent their wrath upon them. Which took the shape of a landslide that was sure to cause their death. If it hadn't been for the young Ano catching the falling rocks with the Force. Which granted free passage for his father and their caravan.

This massive use of the Force caught the attention of a honored guest, a Jedi Knight who was there with his current padawan who had some dealings with his village. Because of their villiage customs and unique situation, Ano became a threat to their peace - the joy of his birth now turned into a burden for his people. While his mother and father was willing to split from the village to live only themselves and shelter their son the Knight offered a solution saving the situation; taking the boy in and train him into the Order.
The mother was torn and resisted at first to give up her son. Even if it was for the better. Yet in the end, agreeing to the offer in return the Knights will find a way to cure Ano's health issues. With that Ano officially stepped on the road of becoming a Jedi Knight under a hidden secret Academy of the Order.

He spent most of his youth in this Academy, learning and growing in the Force and as a person. One thing though never changed, his situation with others of his age.
What was problem at home became problem here as well. Unwilling to reveal openly his chronic pain periods, he never truly could blend in with other kids. Instead seeking adults and enjoying their company instead. This pulled jealousy and anger of the other kids ending in a huge fight. Where Ano instead fighting back stood it unmoved - as they nearly beat him to his death. The pains he was living with resulted in really high pain tolerance which made him stay unmoved without any reaction which angered the kids even further. Resulting a lot more aggressive outcome then it was originally 'planned'.
Ano survived but barely. It officially resulted that he was taught separately from the others. Even before being chosen as a Padawan. Mainly accompanied by adults to offer him a bit of company and chance to be socially still involved.

Ano was charming and good witted, a lot more mature then his age would suggest. Being a model student and not annoying company for the adults around, easily growing on them. Things became even more personal when he finally became a Padawan under an older human Knight. The same one who'd found him back at Ryloth.
Knight Trevhar had the right patience and approach to handle the young Twi'lek properly against his pain periods which often caused self esteem issues. Just as he settling in this path, he met with Lohvin a freshly freed force-sensitive slave who was trusted under his care until Lohvin's situations cleared out. Both being still kids but with more maturity then their age allowed, they fast found mutual ground and connection. Which formed into a very strong bond and friendship.
Due to the situation that Ano actually had a peer as a friend, and that friend having large trust issues but had fully accepted the Twi'lek, this resulted in a joined mentorship between Lohvin's and Ano's Mentors. Once Lohvin was fully accepted at member of the Order a few months later, they were both kept together. Even if their interest and field of learning were different.

Ano took towards the more political aspects of the Galaxy, enjoying the battle of words and cunning approach. Because it was effective to target the leaders to have greater effect and results for those that needed it the most, the people.
Ano fast became a very people's people, where politics was his tool to change lives of many, hopefully for the better. Where Lohvin interest was more with the medical field as a battle medic and also personal doctor of Ano and his pain periods, turning the huge flaw of Ano into a political merit. Able to win sympathy with it even using it well even if was so unpredictable and could easily be viewed as a detriment.

During his Padawan years where he had the chance to learn and see more perspectives and ideas. Ultimately this lead him to split from strict the 'law' the Order followed. Leaving him to walk his own path both in the light and the shadow.
He was always cautious to not pass judgments hastily, especially just because one might be associated with a given fraction or communities. He preferred to see both sides of the same coin before make his own decisions. Sometimes situations proved to him that the world not only not just black and white. But on a way every side has their truth and justice. What makes a difference is how one decision can effect others around said person and if this decision is entirely selfish or it calculates at least part of others well being in it. His idea was not that well received the more traditionalist members of the Order so by it he became a strong ally. Instead of a member. A well known negotiator respected by many.
