Background

1.) How did you discover your force sensitivity?
This incredible kid wasn’t just a dexterous brat who had a knack for sleight of hand tricks or school pranks. Oh no, it turns out Saku had many other gifts. Particularly the ability to confuse the sentient mind that he wasn’t present even in the same room (Sleight of Mind). A unique ability he never shared with his friends or parents.

2.) Describe a moment where you fell prey to your moral weakness or experienced a tragedy/horror that still haunts you.
Regrettably, Saku has been forced into situations where the pragmatism of the underworld has led outside perceivers to see his guise as apathetic. Playing the role of a fixer for organized crime can be dangerous and one false slip can ruin your cover. In one situation, Saku was requested to find a slicer on short notice for a heist by a ruthless client. He knew his slicer buddy Suraiso Slussi was low on credits at the time but didn’t trust the personnel return rate. So, instead Saku selected a newcomer to take the job and knowingly let his buddy feel letdown by his decision of giving someone else the payday.

3.) How did you come to join the NJO?
Drawn through the Force, Knight Selene approached young Saku after discerning he was a Force-sensitive during an investigative Axxila mission. Intrigued by the boy’s ability to carelessly pass unseen, Selene informed the kid that his unique powers in-use were part of a vast energy field that’s interconnected to everything within the living universe and if willing she offered to strengthen his abilities through tutelage.

4.) Name one NPC your character has a strong connection with. This could be a family member, a friend, a work contact, or a bitter rival.
One of Saku’s best childhood friends growing up was a young female Farghul named Aliyah. Both personalities mutually held a flare for extracurricular activities which lead to their parents disapproval. Yet, still remaining largely rambunctious friends, Aliyah is now a club owner on Axxila.

5.) Describe a moment in your life where you demonstrated your moral strength despite adversity.
One orbital rotation, Saku became aware of a well off female Selkath physician who had been recently publicly humiliated due to a gambling debt she couldn’t pay off. The debt collecting loan shark wanted to get a message across with a demonstration by protecting his reputation and the physician, Tahira, sadly lost her employment. Seeing an opportunity, Saku devised a plan to cleverly aid the Selkath in becoming an underworld shadow doctor for the less fortunate. Furthermore, after adjusting to the initial clinical environment change the pair mutually became friends and Tahira happily joined part of the Sentinel’s intel network as an informant.

______________________________________________________________________
(Allowing the 5 questions be first)

The amazing Padawn Saku Jiryu was born on the hustling ecumenopolis city-planet Axxila and grew up with his father Mugen Jiryu in the Outer Rim. Unfortunately due to events, Saku never really knew his mother Marise because at the age of 4 she abruptly left his family. Coldly growing past the abandonment, Saku still had a unique upbringing with his father’s placement in spaceport management. A noteworthy detail which later would later become an opportunity for Saku upon joining the Order. After receiving Knight Selene’s tutelage at the Praxeum, the Sentinel returned to Axxila tasked with a deep undercover project as an underworld personnel fixer. By attending all the local casinos, clubs, and cantinas surrounding the spaceports, Saku was able to connect with an assortment of competent individuals with versed skill sets. Do you have an emergency where you discreetly need a pilot, mechanic, or slicer who could care less about what cargo you’re flying? This human was the local fixer to see. Just as the Order intended, the role would attract a lot of intel or gossip about their travels through the Veragi Trade Route and Celanon Spur hyperlanes. With that in mind, Saku ingeniously created an information hub where the individuals would remain anonymous to report the latest buzz.

Motivation

Hope: In an era of oppression, many Sentinels know that the best they can offer the downtrodden is the hope that one things can get better. These Jedi have visions of hope spreading across the galaxy and seek to inspire even the lowliest individuals to hope again.

Morality

Harmony (52)
Cleverness: By observing beings and situations in an unorthodox manner, the character gains a new and unique understanding. This allows the character to approach problems from unexpected angles and produce original solutions.

Apathy: The character’s skills at detached observation can often lead to cold pragmatism in which the emotional cost of choices is not taken into consideration.

Duty: Philosophy (12)
The New Jedi Order is a loose amalgam of a variety of Force traditions and teachings, mashed together by Master Skywalker to allow his new Knights to follow the Force as they see fit – but there is always more to be learned or discovered about the will of the Force, the nature of the Force, and the way the Jedi fit into all these things. This PC is dedicated to the notion that the guiding philosophy of the New Jedi Order is incomplete and must be perfected to guard against the fallacies and failings of the old Jedi – to prevent the calamity that befell the Order, and the galaxy, just four decades ago.
(Agreeing with Selene to not become rigid)

Obligations:
Dutybound (5) Saku is maintaining an information hub network on the planet Axxila split up by multiple anonymously unconnected sources which keep the Order informed on the Veragi Trade Route and Celanon Spur hyperlane chatter.

Unfinished Business (5) On Axxila, Saku caught wind there is an underworld black market for Force artifacts from his information networks. Unable to pinpoint the exact identity of the merchants or a system of sell, Saku is still striving to assemble the details together for further investigation.

Description

Presently, Saku has long darkish hair worn typically in a ponytail or bun with a few dreads mutually in his ever-changing beard style. Since returning back to the Praxeum after his long-term mission, Saku has inadvertently begun to tan due to the bright Yavin sun.

Over the past few years Saku has had to survive on the ecumenopolis underworld streets of Axxila without Jedi backup. In return his personality has become a little more self-reliant and less openly trusting. Having just returned back to the Praxeum from his covert mission, Saku is still trying to figure how to re-integrate himself into the temple lifestyle.
