Assignment/Location: Kill whoever killed her father

Parents:
Father ----> King Krenden Fellia of the Fellian Tribe (former Jedi, deceased)
Mother ----> Queen Fellis

Education: trained as a Jedi since birth

Marital Status: single, engaged to prince of another tribe on her home planet

Background: Her father was a Jedi master who fell in love with a woman from his home panet. He left the Jedi order to marry her. He was soon after named the king of his tribe for helping to defeat a long standing enemy. A year later, Kariken was born. He trained her as a Jedi, but he did not teach her the Jedi's code of conduct. He left her heart free from Jedi training so that she could use her power however she wanted. At the age of ten, she made her first light saber. It was quite different from the normal ones. It had a long ornamented handle, and the blade was longer as well as broader. She called it her Pole Saber. It proved to be a very useful weapon. She later added a spear like blade to the other end. She uses very few force powers, but that is because she prefers her saber. At the age of fifteen, she was betrothed to the prince of the Ferrel tribe on her planet in order to avoid a war. The prince's father was her father's close friend. She had trained along side the boy their entire lives. Soo after, Kariken's father was killed in the mad Jedi hunts of Palpatine's army, and she went off in search of the man who killed her father.

Quote: "I would rather die by my own blade than see my father's death go un avenged."

Very good. So, is the person she is hunting as particular trooper or officer? Or is it Palpatine she is after?

Just a few notes about format: you've chosen one more designed for a standard, military character (be it Imperial or Rebel). You don't need an alliance (or you could include freelance) or assignment (though a location would help give an idea as to where she is). Further, it would help if you could provide the Latin name of the animal for visual reference for those of us without so great imaginations. ^__^

Now, to the meat of the character: the background. Mother appears to be a woman taken from a tribe on a 'backwater' world largely ignored by the universe. Father looks to be a Jedi who, probably for more than just an emotional bond (maybe a strong dislike in how the Republic is going or something with the Clone Wars?), left the order and settled down on said planet. The character appears to be offspring of this mating.

The characters childhood seems to be one of relative ease, save that her father taught her to use the Force. I wouldn't think that he would give her power without teaching her some responsibility to use it (UNLESS, of course, he himself had become a fallen Jedi). As to her making her own lightsaber, where did she find the power source and other high-tech components? It appears you set up the world to be fairly low-tech in the initial stages (making the society tribal). As far as length and width, that largely depends on the crystal and other internal components; it's feasible to have one longer than a meter (though wider may not be, unless you mean to say that it appears to be wider). Having the reverse end a simple dagger-like metal cutting surface is, likewise, feasible. Using her, later, as a political tool to prevent war is very reasonable. I still have one question, though: is it because it showed the signs of friendship between two clans or is it meant to bind two enemies together? Finally, it appears that Order 66 catches up with the character's father. She finds some way off planet, but does she begin pursuit against the Empire as a whole or just the soldiers that landed on her world?

Well, um... let's see.... Her lightsaber... I'm not at this point sure as to how it works,what I think is that it uses a slightly different kind of focusing crystal or something, haven't thought into that much. Her father left the Jedi order, yes, because her did not like where the Republic was going. She made her lightsaber with parts requisitioned across the planet. Although the world is tribal, it was a good amount of tech. (about as much as earth) And they compete in a little bit of trade with their neighboring planets. She was betrothed to the prince in order to keep two friendly tribes from going hostile against eachother. (the different appearance thing where people are prejudice against eachother for not looking the same) She found the ship that had brought her father back to this planet, fixed it (she made her own lightsaber, so she is pretty good with technology and machines). Then she went off in order to find the commanding officer of the soldiers who killed her father. She doesn't know who he is, but she saw his face and will remember it for the rest of her life. Her tribe does not fit into any one species. It's really more a mix of a bunch. I will try to get a picture of her up as soon as I can.
