[ Characters ]

Denari was born and raised in a nomadic Theelin tribe on Bisidn. The primary activity of the tribe is hunting and gathering for survival and trade, but they also keep a small herd of cattle and many members also pursue performing arts. When in more populated areas the tribe acquires goods that are hard to find or make from money made by performances and by trading excess gathered goods. Due to her upbringing she has sharp senses and a talent for tracking, navigation and survival. Denari is relatively small and has therefore always focused on developing motor skills rather than strength, to compensate the disadvantage. Around the age of 15, her parents saw her calm down an angry buck without the means that were usually necessary. This made them wonder if this and her ability to occasionally notice wild animals, even when the weather has turned bad, might in fact be force powers rather than ordinary talents. During the next trading stop, they had her tested at the local temple. There she was recognised as force sensitive and was asked to study with the Jedi.

Denari has a helpful albeit reckless and stubborn character. She can be rather carefree and a selective listener. Until recently, this manifested itself in putting just enough effort into some parts of her studies to stay out of trouble, spending more time on whatever did catch her interest (like explosives, pod racing and sneaking around, trying to avoid people who wanted to make her focus on tedious and/or boring tasks-such as inward meditation). However, a while ago, this changed after an encounter with Master Leithor. This has incited an urge to take all parts of her studies more seriously so she might one day beat him at agility and stealth.

Denari is quite short and has brightly coloured hair, which she hides under a hoodie when she does not want to be noticed. Because of mutations the tips of Denari's fingers and toes have always been dark horn-like points rather than consisting of flesh and bones covered by nails. The same horn-like tissue has also grown on the tips and around the edges of her ears. The tissue does not hinder her sensitivity to touch and sound, but it does seem to be more insensitive to heat, yet more sensitive to cold than normal flesh.

Animal companion Spades

Denari is usually accompanied by her animal companion Spades. Spades is a bat-falcon. Bat-falcons are relatively small birds of prey, with females, such as Spades, growing up to 30 cm long. They feed on insects, small birds and bats and are therefore very swift and agile fliers. Spades has a relatively oddly coloured plumage for her species. She has a slate grey head and orange feathers on her lower belly and thighs. The rest of her feathers are different shades of darker grey, whereas normal bat-falcons have a distinctive white collar and a finely barred black-and-white chest. Spades usually sits quite calmly on Denari's shoulder, but when given a nice big space to fly around in, she tends to go about her own business. She has a ring on her left claw with a waterproof cylinder, containing a pencil and paper, attached to it. If deemed necessary, a chain or rope can be attached to this ring to prevent Spades from flying off. This is of course hardly ever necessary and only for show as Spades is smart and practical enough to undo a chain and her sharp beak can make quick work of a rope.

Force Powers

Befriend Animal ●

● Power: The Jedi can befriend local wildlife - though limited in their abilities, befriended animals will try to help the Jedi to the best of their ability and understanding within their natural behavior. For example, a befriended Rancor might attack the Jedi's enemies. However, a befriended rabbit would not be able to operate a computer panel to open a door. The effect is temporary and requires a check for especially powerful animals (such as the aforementioned Rancor). Next to this, the Jedi gains an animal companion, a small creature that is a permanent friend to the Jedi.

● Rank 1: When facing a hostile animal, the Jedi can calm them down enough to stop them from attacking, so long as the reason the animal attacked is ended. Thus, a guard dog would stop attacking unless the master was present and ordering the dog to attack.

[ D, T ]

Force Vision ●

● Power: The Jedi's vision is not hindered by conditions with bad visibility, such as bad lighting, mist or rain.

● Rank 1: The Jedi can see living beings in the area by their force signature, even in total darkness or behind cover. The Jedi must concentrate to use this ability, which might require a check under adverse conditions.

[ D, T ]

Telepathy ●

● Power: The Jedi can use the Force to send telepathic messages to willing living creatures over a short distance. They can also receive telepathic answers from a creature contacted. However, they cannot maintain continuous connection and telepathy requires intense concentration.

● Rank 1: The Jedi can attempt to contact an individual on or above the same planet. The message is one way and must be short. This requires a check to succeed. You can use this power a number of times per day equal to the number of ranks in this force power.
