Farran Esrimoure
Sep 28th, 2014, 03:19:28 PM
I've had this character in mind for a while now, and decided to go ahead and put her together :)
Short story: Farran works for an information broker who is wanting to gather intelligence on one of the Jedi on Ossus (haven't decided who yet, though volunteers are always welcome), and so has gotten her way onto the planet in secret and is just now starting to scout the settlement's layout from afar. Eventually I'm hoping she will be found and captured/taken in, and gradually switch allegiances and become a padawan herself. She's Force sensitive, though never had any formal training. She carries a lightsaber that she found in an old tomb on another planet, and has a little bit of proficiency with it, though all of it is self-taught so therefor she's not amazing. She can hold her own, but not against anyone of knight status or higher, of course.
If anyone is interested, I'd gladly love the company
After some accidental brainstorming with Charley, I'm altering the backstory on Farran ^_^
The Esrimoure family crashlanded on Helska IV, and Farran's father was killed on impact. Her mother survived long enough to escape the wreckage with a two-year-old Farran. Tarsi Esrimoure was able to get herself and her daughter to the safety of another shipreck, the Republic Venator Venture. There, she came into contact with the surviving Jedi Master Elys Davola. Master Davola had gone down with his ship during the Clone Wars, in an ambush from Separatist forces. He had survived on severe rationing and what little wildlife he could catch on the harsh wastes of Helska IV. He took the two in, but it wasn't long before Tarsi succumbed to her own injuries, leaving Farran alone in the care of Master Davola. As her potential in the Force became more pronounced, Davola taught her a rather... strange interpretation of the Jedi ways.
As he had been mostly alone for a significant amount of time, his mind had grown unstable, and his reasoning unbalanced. With the addition of a learner, he imparted his bizarre thoughts and notions to Farran who - unknowingly - grew to think of the Jedi in a certain way. She was taught a very skewed method of Djem So, as well as some of the more core principles of the Order's tenets. Everything that she learned held a slant to it; not Dark, but just... off.
When she reached her 19th year, Master Davola sent her her away from Helska IV on one of the few remaining Jedi starfighters that still functioned after the Venture crashed, asking her to find the Jedi for him. This she dutifully set out to do, and spent two years tracking down the Jedi. To finance herself, she took odd jobs here and there, mostly collecting information and surveillance. This was what gave her just enough credits to make it to Ossus. The job she was doing was only half-paid for however, as she was supposed to receive the other half after reporting back to the - still unidentified - group that'd hired her.
Unknown to Farran however, her master was killed by Inyos Aamoran and Loklorien s'Ilancy when the two Jedi investigated an old Republic Era distress beacon that had led them to Helska IV.
Now that she's found the Jedi, she's not exactly sure what to do next as the periodical transmissions from her master have mysteriously stopped. While the request from her Master and the request from her current employers are at odds, she has found herself in a bit of a conundrum after being caught and rather unceremoniously deposited right in the middle of the Jedi.
