Answers to NJO Character Questions:

1. How did you discover your force sensitivity? - Juna first discovered her Force Sensitivity when she was working on a set of armor for one of her compatriots on Dac, when she could feel the material of the armor, and could see how to alter it to improve its abilities. It was not fully identified as Force Sensitivity until Galidraan.

2. Describe a moment where you fell prey to your moral weakness or experienced a tragedy/horror that still haunts you. - The Second Galidraan Massacre. Juna had come to Galidraan to aid its burgeoning resistance movement, and had won several battles, when the last engagement saw an Inquisitor and the ISB take the field. Rather than fall back and plan a new strategy, Juna obstinately thought that the strategy she had come up with would prevail. In the ensuing battle, the entire force was killed, Juna only surviving because the Inquisitor captured her. The massacre has stayed with Juna ever since, and she has tried to overcome her tendency to ignore advice and stick to her plan even in the face of altered circumstances, with little to no success.

3. How did you come to join the NJO? - Juna ran into Luke Skywalker during her wanderings of the galaxy, and worked with him to deal with a situation (what that situation was and where it was is still unknown to me). Afterwards, Luke extended an invitation to her, which she accepted, hoping that the help of the NJO might finally help her make progress towards dealing with her obstinancy.

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. - Bokar Akin, a Male Mon Cal computer specialist who was a good friend back during her childhood and days in the Dac resistance. He joined the Rebellion after Dac was freed, and is now a computer technician for the New Republic. Juna and Bokar have romantic feelings for each other, but Juna does not feel ready for that kind of relationship just now; however, she has promised Bokar that when she is ready, she will let him know.

Full Bio:

Juna Vok was a craftswoman from Dac, one who made armor for her people. Born during the Imperial occupation of her planet, she learned her trade quickly, and was part of the active resistance against Imperial rule. At first, she simply made armor, and later weapons, for her fellow resistance members, but eventually she ended up joining the fray herself, leading several raids against the Empire, seeking to protect those who she considered friends - the closest of which being Bokar Akin, a computer specialist who helped with electronic security around the hideout. She also discovered the ability to alter mechanical devices slightly with her mind at a young age, and used this to make her creations even stronger.

Eventually, Dac was freed from the Empire, and Juna set out into the greater galaxy. More worlds and peoples were oppressed under the Empire's thumb, and she sought to help free them, be it making armor and weapons for resistance forces, or just leading them in battle. At times, she worked with the Rebellion, which Bokar had joined directly, but most of the time, she worked alone.

However, she was not always been successful in her ventures. While a very disciplined craftswoman and fighter, she has trouble adapting from one situation to the next, especially in a battle. An example of this is what is sometimes called the Second Galidraan Massacre. She had come to the world to assist its burgeoning resistance movement against the Empire, and helped them win a few battles against Imperial forces, before the ISB was deployed, with the assistance of an Inquisitor. She believed her allies would be able to handle the fight with her help, despite repeated advice to regroup and strategize, and the entire group was slaughtered. She only survived because the Inquisitor sensed Force Sensitivity in her, and captured her to try and turn her. And she only escaped because Bokar had learned of her captivity and lead an Alliance strike team to rescue her. Ever since that day, she has tried to learn how to adapt and listen to advice more, and not be quite as obstinate in the face of altering circumstances, but has not found success in that endeavor so far.

After the end of the war, Juna wandered the galaxy, seeking to learn more about her abilities. She encountered Bokar, now a computer technician for the New Republic, a few more times, and while the two figured out their feelings for each other were... deeper than friendship... she wasn't ready to commit to such a relationship just yet, though she promised that when she was ready, she would tell him.

Recently, her quest to learn more about the Force and how it could help her led her to Master Luke Skywalker, who invited her to join his New Jedi Order...

Cause/Freedom - Juna has fought hard against Imperial Tyranny and Oppression. Now that it is gone, she seeks to ensure the freedom of all life in the galaxy, so that they can choose their own paths in life.

Discipline/Obstinance - Juna has always been instilled with great discipline and self-control, which has helped her a great deal in battle, letting her look at a situation without letting emotions get in the way. It also helps her avoid getting too proud in the quality of her armor and weapons, always striving to make them better.

However, she has a problem with adaptation. She has always done things in a specific way, and finds it very hard to change. If in a battle scenario, she will more than likely stay with the plan she has come up with until the end, even if new variables arise that make retreating, regrouping, and coming up with a new plan more viable. She has tried to fix this issue several times, especially in the wake of the Second Galidraan Massacre, but has found no success in this matter so far.

Juna Vok is a 39-year old Mon Calamari female. She has an athletic build, stands at 5'5", and possesses the typical orange skin of her species and blue eyes.

She is always seen wearing some form of armor, usually something she has made.
