Background
Questionnaire
1) How did you discover your force sensitivity?
Amrynn discovered her force abilities when she healed the wounds of her village’s leader at age 7. For most of her life she believed it to be holy powers from the deity of the village she grew up in, called Alfor. Soon after became his acolyte. It wasn’t until much later that the force, and her ability was explained to her.
2) Describe a moment where you fell prey to your moral weakness or experienced a tragedy/horror that still haunts you.
Amrynn was pressured into murdering Crestoll, the village leader, who was also her de facto father. While he was cruel, manipulative and had abused those close to her and herself, she was unable to do it. Amrynn felt sympathy for the man she called father and believed that maybe he had a chance to be redeemed. She ran away from the village and left her family to fend for themselves against a tyrant. She still struggles with the guilt and shame she feels from her cowardice.
3) How did you come to join the NJO?
After leaving the village Amrynn met Knight Verse Kanren, and she allowed Amrynn to tag along with her. After a scuffle with some belligerent cantina-goers, she healed Verse's knife wound. Seeing Amrynn’s skill with the force, and explaining it to her, Verse offered to take her to train as a Jedi and Amrynn, desperately wanting to leave Barfa, accepted.
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.
((Will revise this soon))
5) Describe a moment in your life where you demonstrated your moral strength despite adversity.
When Amrynn was a teenager, she was practicing her staff forms in the courtyard. She heard some sort of commotion. Upon closer inspection she found it to be Crestoll having some sort of dispute with one of his wives, Tarla. Out of all six of Crestoll’s wives, Tarla was the closest thing to a mother that Amrynn had. Amrynn could see that Crestoll was about to strike Tarla, and without a moment’s hesitation, Amrynn sprinted and put herself between Crestoll and Tarla, taking the blow, and several after for “insubordination”, leaving her badly injured.
BACKGROUND
*Amrynn was the child of two farmers and a sordid affair.
* According to the story Amrynn was told about how she came to The Oasis, she was found in a basket by Crestoll, and was adopted by him and his six wives and the rest of the compound.
* She was given the name Dust because no one knew where she came from, and Crestoll had said that he saw in a vision that Alfor—their deity—created her as a gift to them, “from the dust of the heavens”
* Amrynn was brought up in a place of privilege in her strange childhood.
* The Oasis was Crestoll’s creation. It consisted of a group of people Crestoll saw in “visions” from Alfor, to bring to the oasis, to start humanity anew.
* There were 36 men and women in the village on the far outskirts of Barfa. The ‘end of days’ happened about a year before Amrynn was born.
* The village lived in complete isolation from the rest of the planet and the galaxy. No modern technology was used, knowledge of spaceflight was strictly taboo.
* When Amrynn was 7, Crestoll was attacked by the local wildlife. Amrynn rushed to his side and while holding his hand, he began to recover. His wounds began to stitch back together.
* Crestoll made Amrynn the first acolyte of Alfor. She became the village healer and trained under Crestoll in the ways of Alfor.
* Amrynn spent most of her childhood listening to Crestoll’s teachings and healing the sick and injured, but also in learning martial arts, as everyone of age in the Oasis was required to take a guard shift and defend the village if necessary.
* Amrynn learned how to fight from Krennik. He caught on that she was an astute pupil and shared many advanced arts that he had studied before coming to the Oasis with her.
* When Amrynn was 17, Tarla, one of Crestoll’s wives that Amrynn has been very close to, was arguing in the center of the village with Crestoll.
* Crestoll was about to strike Tarla and Amrynn threw herself in between them.
* Crestoll decided to teach Amrynn a lesson, since she was questioning his authority. She was severely beaten.
* While recovering, Tarla, Krennik and a few others were planning to overthrow Crestoll. Amrynn, while she was out of Crestoll’s good graces was the easiest to make her way back in. With her adeptness at fighting and her quietness, Amrynn would be the one to take him out. She was chosen for the job, and reluctantly accepted.
* Amrynn slowly but surely worked her way back into Crestoll’s good graces. Her fighting skills allowed her to continue training and work her way to becoming Crestoll’s personal bodyguard.
* The moment came. Amrynn snuck into Crestoll’s quarters knife in hand, and couldn’t do it. The man was terrible, but he did raise her.
* Amrynn managed to escape the village, as she didn’t dare face Tarla and Krennik to tell them that she didn’t do it, and eventually found her way to a trading outpost.
* While there she met a Jedi Seeker--Knight Verse Kanren
* Verse offered to allow Amrynn to come along with her.
* During this time, Verse was injured and Amrynn healed them.
*She offered to take Amrynn with her when she went off world so Amrynn could train to be a Jedi.
* Amrynn came to the Jedi Academy and began training, which was difficult, as she did not know Basic and she had never left her home planet. Having had her eyes opened to so many new things she was incredibly eager to learn, especially with the art of lightsaber fighting.

Description
Amrynn is 21 years old and slight in build. Food was never very abundant at the Oasis, and whatever there was, wasn't very appetizing. She does have a bit of muscle, from her training in martial arts. She has green eyes and has blonde hair that she now wears short. She is most often seen in a fitted asymmetric long vest which has an attached short cape, with a fitted top and shorts underneath. Both the vest and cape are lined in a deep indigo linen. Amrynn also wears numerous necklaces, bracelets and rings, a mixture of pieces from home and ones she's collected since leaving. She also has a nose ring, which she received in her coming of age ceremony at the Oasis at age 15. She has fractal-like branching scars across the left side of her face, arm and almost the entirety of her chest. She's left handed.
