KARKOON
512 :: Shard :: The Jedi Order :: Jedi Initiate
Currently in: Jedi Colony, Ossus


Character Background:


Was taken off his homeworld of Orax by a illegal mining operation that did not know that the Shard were a sentient species and sold those harvested as simple, yet exquisite minerals.
Droid Manufacturer Maxwell Industries purchased aforementioned crystals for use in their droid components. Karkoons sentience was discovered when he reached out with the force to defend himself.
Tony Maxwell, of Maxwell Industries, designed the RGNRK-Class Droid Chassis to operate with a Shard pilot to act in the place of an artificial intelligence. Karkoon was the first pilot.
Karkoon took the droid chassis and escaped, returning to Orax where he defended the planet against the illegal mining operation. He outfitted other droid chassis to be operated by the Shard, raising an army of protectors.
Now protected by their allies the Alliance, Karkoon was free to travel to Ossus to refine his force abilities.


Raw Material:


Karkoon has an incredibly protective nature; never faltering to step in and protect those weaker than himself. There is no limit to his selflessness.
Due to his crystaline nature and use of a robot chassis for interaction, he is commonly at odds with those made of flesh and blood. He is also commonly mistaken for a droid.
His mother was among those harvested from Orax. He holds on to the hope of finding her someday. Somehow.
His droid chassis body is quite formidable; big and strong. Through the sensor suite that houses him and his use of the force he is able to operate it with a precision and grace that defies it's size. It is also quite durable.


Plot Ideas:


Karkoon is in need of a Jedi Master to teach him the ways of the force.
Interacting with his Jedi brethren should provide many interesting encounters as he becomes accustomed to carbon-based lifeforms, and they in turn adjust to the lumbering droid body with it's silicone pilot.
I would really like to get Karkoon trained in the Third Form of Lightsabre Combat: Soresu to accent his nature as a protector.


Existing Relationships:


Suriyesh Rajinaathra - One of the first people Karkoon encountered in the Ossus Colony. Suri quickly became Karkoon's trusted mechanic.

Rhianna is very connected to nature. I think she would be endlessly intrigued with a Shard. I look forward to our current thread and am game for more, in any capacity. :)
