| Name: _______ Sex: Male Age:19 Lives: In the great old US of A Bio:A grand Master of the Jedi Knights, the diminutive wizened Yoda is a living legend to the Jedi order, the personifacation of their ideals. He is nearly 900 years old when Senator Palpatine is elected Supreme Chancellor of the Republic. He has lived longer than any other Jedi, and has seen literally thousands of friends, colleagues, and students- through violent battle, and simple old age- become one with the force. His wisdom and perception are held up as an example of what can be accomplished through heeding the will of the Force. The students of the Jedi temple consider Yoda to be the most intimidating instructor they have ever met. A severe disciplinarian, he has a reputation as a hard taskmaster, though nearly everyone who has trained under him has, in time, come to understand and respect his lessons and even his methods. Yoda is the primary instructor for those Temple students who have not yet found a master, teaching them basic force techniques, including lightsaber fighting. Master Yoda encourages meditation and forethoughtm as well as strict observance of Jedi Traditions, pointing to the 800 years worth of Jedi that he has personally trained- many whom have gone on to be exemplars of the Jedi way- as proof of his convictions. An advocate of heeding the unifying force, Yoda urges his students( and his former students) to always be mindful of the future, to open their minds to countless possibilities that each action engenders, and to see which are the most likely. Of all the members of the Jedi Council, only Yoda seems so concerned about what the future holds.Considering that he is recognized as the leading Jedi authority in seeing events that have not yet come to pass, Yoda may be the only Jedi who truly knows what is best for the Jedi Order. Yoda carries a gimer stick cane, as much for the support it provides him on long walks as for the tasty juice the bark provides when chewed. Yoda is considerably more animated among his closest peers of the Jedi Council. He even has a penchant for practical jokes, and a ready, endearing laugh. But, most never see that side of him, instead seeing the imposing figure with serene eyes that seems to pierce their very souls and read them like a databook. Yoda is currently on Klastra, but travels from planet to planet, he has many friends and many students. If you ask him, he might even train you. |
