Name: Raith Niekahl Nickname: None Gender: Male Species: Human Age: 30 Homeworld: Coruscant Languages: Basic Parents: Oden Niekahl (father), Ayla Niekahl (mother) Relatives: Markus Niekahl (brother), Ryk Niekahl (nephew), Sigil Niekahl (nephew), Nara Niekahl (niece), Nava Niekahl (niece), Avil Niekahl (nephew) Spouse: None Children: None Skin: Peach Eye Color: Swampy hazel Hair Color: Mud brown Facial Features: Rough beard Scars: A digonal scar going down his nose Tatoos: None Peircings: None Height: 6'4 Weight: 200 lbs Physical Condition: Athletic / Muscular Appearance: Raith's thick, long, mud brown hair fades into a short, rough black beard and above his scarred nose is a set of swampy, hazel eyes. He has a strong build from constant combat training and can appear just as friendly as intimidating. Personality: Raith is a highly independant man, mix that with his stubborness and he becomes a very difficult to manipulate. However, this also spells trouble for his superiors, Raith can't be expected to follow orders or guidlines, when given, he feels the need to break them. Raith is a highly influential person and a natural born leader, which combined with his personality, only makes him more troublesome to the Jedi Council. He's very opinionated and he's not afraid to voice his opinions, rallying those around him to follow in his footsteps. Despite his rebellious nature, his dabbling in the dark side of the force, and his sometimes rutheless "leave nothing to chance" personality, Raith is still widely considered to be a highly virtuous person. Strengths: Impressive combatant, Influential, Independant Weaknesses: Walks a dangerously thin line between the light and dark sides of the force, Stubborn, Disregards the Jedi Code Faction: Galactic Republic Rank: Jedi Knight Profession: Jedi Guardian Force Sensitive: Yes, Strong in the Force Force Powers: Lightning, Drain Life, Crush, Surge, Scream Weapons: Violet lightsaber Armor/Clothing: Dark grey jedi robes with black armor plating meant to maximize protection without reducing maneuverability. Important Items: Datapad Companion: Vinya Rann (Attractive Anzati Assassin) Ship: Upgraded jedi starfighter (White and Orange) History: Raith was born a noble on Coruscant, his family had been widely known across the galaxy for their generations of heroes. They were once celebrated, but since the last war they have had little to do, and basked in their hard earned glory and riches. While the Niekahl name is still relatively well known, their fame has died down and fewer remember the deeds of their ancestors. It was not until the age of 11 that Raith finally became part of the Jedi Order. Raith's brother, Markus, had been fascinated by the history their family and would read the collected datapads of their ancestors. Markus would tell Raith about the epic battles and adventures he had read about in the journals. These stories had always inspired Raith, making him want to be like the ancestors his brother had told him so much about. Raith's parents knew about the force sensitivity that both Raith and Markus possessed, since the force seemed to have strong ties to their blooline. They however, didn't want to lose their children to the Jedi Order. They did their best to hide their children from the Jedi, but Raith eventually discovered his powers on his own. Luckily, they were able to keep Markus from discovering that he too possessed the same power. Once Markus had ran away to join the Republic at 17, Raith envied his brother. Raith's parents could only keep hold of their son for about another year until the Jedi council caught wind of the situation. Raith was too old, but after discovering his force potential and eagerness to join the Jedi Order, they decided he would likely end up with the Sith if they refused him. Though it was a controversial decision, Raith was accepted into the order. Raith excelled in training, especially lightsaber combat, but he lacked self-discipline. The council was begining to think simply striping him of his powers might be the best option. A Zygerrian Jedi master named Jericho Nexus from the Jedi Council was against this idea and believed that Raith could still be trained in the Jedi ways. The council agreed to let Jericho take Raith as his padawan. Jericho was able to make Raith an acceptable Jedi by relating with and befriending him. Jericho's maturity and wisdom rubbed off on Raith, but it worked both ways, and Raith's renegade personality rubbed off on Jericho. Raith gained the approval of the council and, when the time came, completed his knighthood trials. Since then, however, the council has become increasingly frustrated with Raith, but his former master Jericho has done his best to defend him. Although the council may dissaprove Raith, he gains a virtuous reputation everywhere he goes, to exile him could create a martyr of sorts which would make the council look bad. Likey his most well known deed is when he was assigned to protect the Supreme Chancellor from assassination. Raith ran into countless heated and dangerous encounters along the way, but he managed to find the assassin. The assassin was an Anzati by the name of Vinya Rann who killed not only for credits, but for nurishment. Raith was able to stop the assassin without even fighting her, and better yet, he struck a deal that turned her to his side. Vinya agreed to give up her career as an assassin and follow Raith on his adventures free of charge in exchange for a pardon from the Republic. She knew Raith would enter combat frequently, which would give her the oppourtunity for more nurishment than she'd ever had in her 3,842 year life. Raith and Vinya have grown close over the years and only death could ever seperate them. |
