Obi-Wan/Ben Kenobi
Obi-Wan was a legendary Jedi Master who taught both Anakin and Luke Skywalker in the ways of the Force, and was an important General for the Galactic Republic in the Clone Wars. He is also notable for having been the first Jedi in approximately 1,000 years to kill a Sith, one of the last members of the Jedi Council and one of the few Jedi to survive the Great Jedi Purge.
Twenty Random Facts about Obi-Wan Kenobi
1. Obi-Wan's had three different lightsabers.
2. Obi-Wan will never get used to blue milk, no matter how good it is for you.
3. Extremely loyal and dedicated to the Jedi Order, he is relatively orthodox in his views. In many ways, he represents the strength of the old Jedi Order: steadfast, selfless, and modest.
4. He is soft-spoken which belies his warrior prowess. His later skill at resolving disputes without a single battle would earn him the sobriquet The Negotiator. Despite preferring peaceful negotiations, he is a master of the traditional Soresu form of lightsaber combat. Though this is the most commonly known form, Mace Windu informed him that it does not accomodate for any weaknesses. Therefore, though he is not proficient in dangerous killing forms such as Ataru or Vaapad, he is a master of the classical form. 'Who is greater; the creator of a killing form or the master of the classic form?'
5. He is very, very patient and always weighs a situation before jumping into the fray like Anakin.
6. He posseses a dry sense of humor and sarcastic wit. Over time, he lost some of his youthful audacity and assumed the role of a more cautious and conservative mentor to Anakin.
7. Early on in his training, he had a difficulty keeping his thoughts on the here and now. He had to work hard at being more attuned to the Living Force: keeping his thoughts in the here and now instead of getting lost in the other realms of the Force like the past or divining possible future events
8. Despite his numerous complaints during flight, he is quite a skilled pilot. He is also talented with advanced mindtricks and Force persuasion.
9. His favourite place to meditate is in the Garden of a Thousand Fountains. The spot he chose is actually not a very popular place, but he later realised it reminded him of Naboo.
10. He was the first to kill a Sith Lord in over 1,000 years and was granted the title of Jedi Knight without having to go through the Jedi Trials.
11. His eyes are light-blue.
12. It always secretly bothered him that Anakin was a head taller than him.
13. He could have been a farmer instead of a Jedi.
14. He speaks with a Coruscantii accent and considers Coruscant's Jedi Temple his home.
15. Padmé gave her japor snippet to Obi-Wan, to keep for her, but he didn't understand the significance of this gesture, so he gave it back to her for her burial.
16. Obi-Wan has never heard anyone by the name of Siri Tachi. Sorry.
17. He is rubbish at Sabacc when not using the Force to help him out. Although, he is quite good at Truth or Dare. ;)
18. According to Obi-Wan, aside from the lightsaber, all other weapons are extremely uncivilised.
19. Though Clone Trooper, Commander Cody had formed a three-year friendship with Obi-Wan, he ordered his troops to kill Obi-Wan under Order 66.
20. It did hurt his feelings when the Larses didn't invite him in for tea after flying halfway across the galaxy to hand Luke over to them. He secretly hopes when Luke grows up that he won't be as whiny as his former padawan once was...

Sabé/Sefa Nabish Kenobi
As with all of the Queen's handmaidens, Sabé served as a disguised decoy in potentially dangerous situations. When disguised as Amidala, Padmé would communicate to Sabé through discreet signals to answer important questions.
Little was actually known of Sabé. She performed her duties as the Queen's decoy extremely well, seeming to fool even those who spend a great deal of time with her. It was unknown, however, if she truly fooled the two Jedi sent to protect Amidala, Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn and his Padawan, Obi-Wan Kenobi.
In the Battle of Naboo, Sabé took up her role as decoy yet again, donning the battle clothes of the Queen while Amidala again dressed as a simple handmaiden. It was thanks to this planning that the Viceroy of the Trade Federation, Nute Gunray, was fooled into believing that the young woman in his current possession (who was indeed the true Queen) was a decoy. Through this, Amidala and her guards were able to capture the Viceroy.
1. Before accepting the position and title of Principal Handmaiden Sabé underwent extensive study and tutelage in the arts of music composition at the Academy of Music in Theed.
2. She is one of the youngest persons to scale Keebol Cliff bare-handed, an event that started as a simple challenge between her and her friends that would become a rather publicized event.
3. Sabé is the first Principle Handmaiden to acquire the title and duty of the Queen’s decoy. Though this position is known but only a handful, the success of her cover throughout the negotiations between the Trade Federation and the Naboo ensured this clever ploy would be used by future Queens.
4. When Sabé was four years old she constructed her first “symphony” in honor of the Kwonzo Burger; a Naboo favorite. However when her older sister Leesol learnt of this she teased her endlessly for a week until an embarrassed and hurt Sabé made a vow never to have anything to do with music, which by Thera standards is one of the greatest curses. Though they long since made up Sabé to this day will not touch a Kwonzo Burger.
5. Sabé can determine the charge of a power charger (for pod racers) by the pitch made when activated. A skill she learnt in school through a study called “Music, Mechanics and Me”.
6. Due to traditions and religious values that are held dear amongst the Naboo people, the official paperwork pertaining to a child’s midi-chlorian count is often altered to appear below 100. Those with a higher count are trained at a very young age to block their thoughts. It is considered a necessary evil by the Naboo to ensure that no child is ‘stolen’ from their family to be raised in the Jedi temple, for harmony (especially of family) is everything in their culture. As such while Sabé’s count appears on paper as 97, in truth her numbers are 200 less than Asajj Ventress.
7. In Naboo’s culture the number 6 is the protective number against discord/chaos. It is said that there are six gates that protect a society. The most powerful being family and the second Harmony, when a family is torn apart the gate weakens and only five remain to protect unity and order from Chaos.
8. Sabé is trained like all handmaidens in the arts of swordsmanship. However her preferred style of combat is founded in the roots of a Jedi sword technique known as Form 2 or Makashi. Though it is a variant of the modern forms it serves as a reminder of an era in Naboo history when peace was but a dream.
9. Each color carries a hidden message for the people of Naboo. Of them burgundy stands for aggressive confrontation and purple the color of death. After the fall of the Republic and the death of her best friend, Sabé’s wardrobe soon became dominated by these two colors in memory of Padme, the republic and the democracy they once served along with her desire to stand up to the darkness that consumed all she held dear.
10. As part of her training to act as the Queen’s decoy Sabé has learnt how to read the subtle gestures of body language.
11. Sabé’s favorite season is winter and has a bit of a weakness for skating as well as tobogganing.
12. The colour orange is the former decoy’s favorite color as in Naboo culture it represents bravery and courage.
13. Sabé is left handed.
14. Though she’d rather no one knew this she prefers being barefoot over having to wear shoes or socks.
15. Sabé though the Principle Handmaiden to Queen Amidala is no longer serves as the Senator’s decoy. Much of this is due to the fact that the Senator stands at 5’3” while Sabé herself carries a height of 5’7”. Making it too awkward and complicated to continue the use of her as the ruse, despite their uncanny similarities in appearance.
16. While Sabé serves as a part time trainer to future handmaiden initiates, she also serves as Captain Typho’s second in command. As part of Senator Amidala’s security she is the Captain’s eyes and ears while keeping her role of Amidala’s Principle Handmaiden.
17. Hidden in the hilt of her blades is a symbol that is native to Naboo culture as a sign of protection. It is a tradition of the ‘old guard’ and isn’t uncommon for a handmaiden to receive a blade or melee of some sort bearing this mark from their teacher before they begin their service to the Queen. It is said the symbol helps a warrior maintain their inner balance and harmony when fighting. It is said the symbol protects a warrior from falling prey to the darkness in the horrors of battle and ‘lose’ their way.
18. As with all handmaiden’s Sabé has been ‘branded’ or tattooed with the symbol of the Royal house marking her a member of the Queen’s handmaidens. It is a small symbol of the Naboo royal house insignia and can be found on the left side of her hip.
19. When agitated Sabé has a tendency to clench and unclench her palms in a way that resembles one gripping a sword.
20. Sabé is not one who shows remorse or pain too well. Generally she will keep up a good front and appear to most as being detached or even cold. Though it isn’t a known fact Sabé will not generally cry or weep unless is in a shower. For she believes that having rushing water pouring over her will make the tear less real and thus make her feel less ‘weak.
brief summaries from starwars.wikicities.com,
details pertaining to Naboo culture, Sabé's history and personality are taken (with permission) from Maren Jensen's tale Amidala's Last Line of Defense. As well as from ![[info]](chapters/image003.gif){kind=small}
cariel's tale Second Chances. The concept of the tattoo that marks Sabé as a handmaiden hails from mereywn's tale One Prick To Bleed. To top it off, the details pertaining to the midichlorian count can be found here. Although I am bluffing on Sabé’s numbers, one will notice the reference to Asajj Ventress and get an idea. *Apologizes to Maren* I love the idea of Sabé being only 200 less than Obi-Wan, but good lord, look how powerful he is!! *dies*
Saché Maberrie
Saché wants to kill Soren Dormé.
I was once told by my mother that the world is a stage and we but actors. We put on our masks, say the lines demanded of us, play the role best chosen for us to embrace and return behind the curtains. But what interests me is not the performance of others, rather what is behind that mask. What secrets are held there? When it call comes down the it who are we really? Heros, saints, villains, monsters, knights, warriors or just ordinary men and woman trying to be a part of something bigger then we really are. Hoping that by doing so we can find our place and finally know the purpose to which our role represents in the schemes of the universe.
When push comes to shove, and the masks comes off what face will you be wearing?
At this time Sache is in the service of Senator Amidala as one of the orginal remaining members of her handmaidens. Though she assists in the security of the Senatatoral houses she isn't considered a full fledged member as her friend Sabe is. However this suits the free-spirited handmaiden just fine as she prefers her role as tutor and mentor to the newly recuited members of the handmaidens.

Soren Typho
Soren is a gangsta...
Soren is the young nephew of Panaka who who replaced him as Padmé Amidala's bodyguard during the Separatist Crisis and the Clone Wars. He attended many of the same offworld training as his uncle and fought under Panaka's command in the Battle of Naboo, where he lost his eye. He does not wear it as a badge of courage; truthfully he is afraid of the medical ward.
During the Clone Wars, Soren is a constant presence at the side of Senator Amidala, accompanying her whether it was on her Yacht or her apartments on both Coruscant and Naboo. Four months into the conflict, Soren accompanied Senator Amidala and Jedi Master Yoda on a rescue mission to Ilum. Although he was adamant that the Senator remain on course, but the Jedi Master was able to persuade Soren to change his mind. It's important to remember that this does not mean he is weak minded. If Master Yoda wanted to, no doubt he could persuade Amidala as well.
Once the Republic became the Empire, Soren served as an intelligent officer for the Chommel Sector. His uncle Panaka was promoted to Moff of that sector. Saché is his First Lieutenant and Soren reports directly to the head of Imperial Intelligence. He hates his job, but it is only a mask for the duties he performs for the Rebel Alliance. Each day he strives to save a life that might have been sacrificed because of the Empire.

Anakin Skywalker
Anakin sucks the life out of everyone he 'cares' about.
Psshhh like I need a bio or introduction. You all love me. I am the ultimate love sponge. I take and take and take until there's nothing left. And I'll be damned if you're going to try to stop me. Oh wait--

Darth Vader
Vader *Force chokes* What was the question?
Once believed to be the chosen one, Anakin's descension into the darkness proved fatal in all respects. For Anakin's need to live up to the demands of the Jedi's prophecy had ultimately became his undoing. For all he sought to save he destroyed, and for all the order he was said to bring to the force, only chaos was left in his wake. Yet from the ashes of his demise rose another, like a dark phoenix. For the one known as Skywalker ceased to be leaving behind only the shadow that was once hidden beneath the light side's gaze.
So was the birth of the greatest Sith Lord to walk amongst the stars.

Dormé Jaffa
Dormé is Vader's dark angel whore...and she likes it.
The most powerful emotion one can possibly experience is love. For from it families are born, mercy is shown and above all else harmony reigns. It is both powerful and gentle, warm as the summer sun and strong as diamonds. Yet so many regard it as a weakness, a dependency that must be banished to which I find myself asking why? What is so wrong about such sacred purity? Why must it be casted away and be considered so forbidden? Something so beautiful should be regarded with respect and cherished till the ends of time.
At this time Dormé is considered one of the newer members in Senator Amidala's entourage who was elevated into her current position around the same time as Cordé. Though like her best friend Moteé she isn't a member in Amidala's security at this time Dormé is currently undergoing training in this field under the care of Saché Maberrie. Previous to this all of her training as a handmaiden was completed under the watchful eyes of Sabé Nabish.
To those that know her Dorme is considered to be a hopeless romantic and has a love for legends that surround the concept of forbidden love. Though quiet by nature she is by no means easily overwhelmed and keeps cool head when under pressure, a trait that is considered manditory for all who serve in the Senator's services.

Isellé Kenobi
Isellé's fate varies from Canon to AU. Needless to say, with her father's high midichlorian count, she has the potential to train in the Force, but the Force works in mysterious ways and sometimes it is difficult to accept what comes to pass.

Mace Windu
Mace is checking out that fine Nabooan bootay...
Mace Windu is often regarded as second only to Master Yoda on the High Council, though eight centuries his junior. His wisdom, power, and the weight of his words were legendary. He enjoys fighting and created the Vaapad form of lightsaber combat to channel his dark side into something positive.
After the death of his parents, on Haruun Kal, he was taken by the Jedi at the tender age of six months. At a very early age, Mace learned of his unusual ability to see shatterpoints in the Force and how they would affect all of his future actions as well as the vunerabilities of his opponents. With these unique abilities, he had a glimpses of parts of his future, such as the lightsaber he would eventually build.¬¬By age fourteen the Jedi Council was concerned with Mace, for even though he was at the top of his class, he still did not construct the lightsaber that came to him in visions multiple times. He informed the Council that he wanted a true challenge in order to find the best pieces for his lightsaber. After considering this, the Council and his Master sent Mace on his own to the world of Hurikane. While on this mission, Mace was at first chased away from the natives that resided there, but after he saved one of them from falling down a chasm, they rewarded him with a crystal. This crystal produced the distinctive purple blade of his lightsaber.
Over the next decade and a half, Mace went on many notable missions that included his first visit to his homeworld, Haruun Kal (during which he learned his native Korun language), and one where he tracked down and defeated the killer Uda-Khalid. Prodigiously talented in the Force, Mace passed the trials early and was appointed to the Jedi Council at the age of 28 after his exploits during the Arkanian Revolution. Windu trained many to be Jedi, including Echuu Shen-Jon (who ultimately survived the Great Jedi Purge), and fellow Council member Depa Billaba.
Windu was a stern advocate against Anakin Skywalker's induction into the Jedi Order. However, he later came to see that Skywalker was the Chosen One. Despite this revelation, it did not solidify his trust in the haughty, petulant Anakin.
At the Battle of Geonosis, he beheaded Jango Fett. During the Clone Wars, Mace commanded Systems Army Alpha as a General on many fronts, and won a widely publicized victory at the Battle of Dantooine. He was rumoured to have singlehandedly defeated an army of B-2 battle droids and a massive seismic tank, without his lightsaber for much of the battle. Six months after the Battle of Geonosis, Mace returned to his homeworld of Haruun Kal to track down his missing former Padawan, Depa Billaba. There, he battled Kar Vastor and spiritually faced the dark side. Though Windu survived this trial, the memories of his return to Haruun Kal would continue to haunt him.

Yoda
Mess around Yoda does not...*grabs that fine bootay*
Grand Master of the Jedi Order I am.
I'm Yoda.
I'm a soulja.
I mold ya and fold ya.
I thought I told ya:
Don't be unwise.
Judge me not by my size.
You won't believe your eyes.
Watch the X-Wing rise!

Asþæa Arxia
Asþæa secretly wishes she was Nabooan...
Asþaea was born in 55 BBY, which makes her seven years younger than Obi-Wan Kenobi. She was taken from her homeplanet at birth and raised on Coruscant, so she speak with a Coruscantii accent and knows nothing of her homeworld, nor of her family. By age eleven, she was approached by newly made Council member, Mace Windu to train under him, but he retracted his offer without giving her a reason, which hurt the young girl. The following year, the legendary Jedi Master and Council member, Coleman Trebor, took her under his wing as his padawan learner.
At the age of 25, Asþæa was knighted, though she waited to take on an apprentice to assure she was confident enough to undertake the honour of training a youngling. Five years later, she spotted twelve-year-old, Bene, and felt a connection with the girl, deciding to take her as her first padawan. She and her padawan were not at the Battle of Geonosis, as they were on a diplomatic mission on Bothawui. Her former master, Trebor, was killed on Geonosis by Jango Fett and this affected her deeply.
Asþæa continues to uphold Trebor's teachings, words over violence, temperance over aggression. Much of her training revolves around peaceful negotiations and she, like her former master preferred not wielding a lightsaber, though she is a master of Form VI: Niman. As she prefers not to use her lightsaber, she has Bene train with Master Drallig to improve her lightsaber skills. Asþæa is a gifted healer who can skillfully ply and manipulate the Living Force.

Asaji Ventress
Asaji goes a-ratta-ta-tak.
I have lived a life of suffering and pain though in this darkness there has been rare moments of light and looking back I find myself realizing that in my darkest hours there has always been someone to guide me back to the light. Since the ending of the Clone Wars and the demise of the Republic this has not changed. Only now I have been given the opportunity to repay the favors of the past. It is not much and I can only hope that my actions and the reason for them will reflect kindly on the the one who saved me from myself and from the one who hunts me even now. It is for him that I now help the remnants of his Order and it is for him that I am here now.
Raised and trained by Ky Narac who came into her life after the death of her family by Osika Kirske Asajj's destiny for a time pointed her in the direction of the Jedi. But upon her Master's death by Osika the wayward Padawan fell into the darkness and soon began the path of darkness. From there she removed a good portion of the Warlords who ruled her homeworld of Rattatak and earned a title in the leadership of her people. However this wasn't considered of great consequence as the Rattataki are generally lawless and ruled by warlords and warring tribes over a central based government. Still she is highly respected and well liked amongst her own for freeing them from the slavery of the Warlords that ruled the planet with an iron fist.
During this time she encountered Count Dooku and was promised to learn the finer arts of the dark side after proving herself in the gladiatorial ring. Together the two began to hunt the Jedi and so began Asajj's hunt for Anakin Skywalker himself although in the end it was his master who became her obsession and finally her savior.
After Obi-Wan saved her from Anakin’s lightsaber Asajj returned deeply wounded but now free of her darkness to the Bright Flight and from there departed from the wars for a time. But now with the fall of the Republic and the birth of the Empire Asajj found herself desiring to repay the long owed debt she feels she owes Obi-Wan for his kindness to her. She now helps the remnant of the Jedi Order in anyway possible to escape the madness that is Darth Vader in honor of Obi-Wan. For in her darkest hour he saved her from herself and now it has become her turn to save others from the all consuming darkness.

The Darklighters
Mr. and Mrs. Darklighter are a kind, elderly couple living on Tatooine. They own a moisture store which bought and sold from the local farmers. Together they have a few grown children, one of which is Huff Darklighter. They eagerly welcomed their grandson Biggs into the family by throwing a huge party.
