Character Name: Taria Damsin Character Series: Star Wars EU Character Age: 34
Background:http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Taria_Damsin - I will be taking her after the events in Clone Wars Gambit: Siege, [spoilers]after she has died weeks after the novel's close.[/spoiler]
Personality:
Taria is a bit of an odd duck where Jedi Masters are concerned, likely due to her time spent as a Shadow. Shadows are an elite group of the Sentinel class, and act as spies and saboteurs for the Order, hunting down agents of the dark side. Master Damsin is notable for her adaptability in any situation, rolling with the punches as they come and working quickly on her feet to come up with a solution. Sometimes plans need to change, after all, and she's not only good at it, she's one of the best. She is unafraid and disciplined enough to make moral compromises that other members of the Order might find… questionable.
Her adaptability does come with a tendency towards recklessness. Taria would hardly put the mission or those she's close to at risk- but she has no qualms about throwing herself into harm's way to get things done. Though the fatal illness she contracted was once more out of remission, she threw herself into battle on Lanteeb to assist Kenobi and Skywalker against Sep forces. As she once said to Obi-Wan, she intended to live her life on her own terms, and by all accounts lived it to the fullest while she still could.
Her strength of character and willpower are outstanding character traits. After the mission to Corellia with Ahsoka, Master Damsin was in a great deal of pain from her illness, but kept it together for the return home to Coruscant. A born leader, Taria nonetheless has a preference for staying out of the limelight, a valuable trait for someone with her former job description.
On the whole, Taria is quite affable and approachable for a Jedi of her rank. She prefers to go by her first name over "Master Damsin", particularly where some of the older Padawan learners are concerned. Warm, caring and perceptive, she places a high value on friendship and balance in all of her relationships. Taria is also very fond of gently teasing the people around her, particularly Obi-Wan as they've known one another since they were children. She has a tendency to still get excited about the little things, and remains in possession of a sense of wonder about the universe.
That's not to say she's flippant- Taria never says what she doesn't mean to the people who matter. Every moment with Ahsoka was another instance in which to further provide learning experiences for the Padawan.
Abilities: Jedi powers of awesome. B| As a Jedi Master she is an adept Force user, and teaches advanced lightsaber classes in the Temple on Coruscant. Shadows are also wielders of double-bladed lightsabers, and she possess additional skill sets related to espionage, non-Jedi weaponry, slicing, piloting and explosives.
She can also sing. It's rather sweet.
Sample Entry:
[ Filtered Call to Mayfield's Erstwhile Jedi ]
This is Taria speaking; I realize this will probably step on several toes, but I have something that needs to be said.
The Jedi need to organize. Not just to fight- because that is a sad inevitability here -but more importantly to give succor to those around us and to one another; to share information; to provide training for those who are still Learners in the Force.
If we have to be stranded here, why not consider starting a Praxeum in Mayfield? The greatest we have to offer one another is knowledge. If we loosely formalize an academy we have a chance to continue the principles and teachings of the Jedi Order.
