Wyl Staedtler
A young Padawan learner living aboard the Wheel, Wyl has earned a reputation for being a hopelessly unpredictable, adventurous scamp. With an imagination at least a half dozen times larger than himself and a thirst for discovery, the boy has made it his personal mission to uncover and solve as many mysteries as he can. Forced to leave his Coruscant home at a young age, Wyl learned early that it isn't surroundings which are important but those whom we surround ourselves with - and to that end he dedicates himself fearlessly and, some would say, tactlessly to getting to know as many beings as he can and forging lasting relationships with them. This extroverted charm has led to many an unusual friendship. He is apprenticed to Jedi Knight Daria Nytherciria.

Appearance
Boy: A noise, with dirt on it.
Caught in that wonderful age where the world is a vast playground teeming with adventure and mayhem that demands conquering, Wyl bears the common appearance of many boys his age: always scruffy, often bleeding, easily mistaken for a homeless vagrant. In cheerful defiance of the regal bearing and order synonymous with his Jedi compatriots, his clothing - generally of a more traditional bend but always subject to quirky changes depending on the imaginary character chosen to face the day with - is often in need of some form of adjustment; he has the unique skill of making even the most well-fit articles seem to drag off his narrow frame, stretching hems and collars until they are nearly unrecognizable as such.
Of average height and weight for a humanoid boy his age, Wyl has a certain lankiness about him that serves well for his excursions in tight spaces. Possessed of a wickedly charming ne'er-do-well grin and a pair of keen eyes that are perpetually alight with innocent mischief from beneath a tangle of unruly dark hair, he looks like a tiny cavalier ruffian. The use of eyeliner (a marvelous invention introduced to him by Taataani Meorrrei) only serves to heighten the effect of a very cheerful space pirate.
Though he has no tattoos (yet!), Wyl is never without his red genuine decoder wedding ring and the sandpanther charm necklace given to him by his wife, Tak.
Personality
Think of the most adventurous being you know in the galaxy; now combine that soul with the foolhardy enterprise of a Corellian, the sly ingenuity of a Jawa, the sweetness of a Naboo farmhand, and the fierce loyalty of a Wookie. Add a whopping pinch of good humour, an unfailing penchant for attracting trouble and combine with the healthy ignorance of youth. Congratulations: you have just made a Wyl.
Growing up in the ecumenopolis of Coruscant didn't allow for a lot of outdoor exploration but the restriction did not prove to have a dampening effect on the imagination of Wyl Staedtler; rather, it encouraged growth and aided by a steady diet of Captain Coruscant holocomics and wild tales told by his mother, the boy developed an impressively active mind. Curious to a fault, Wyl eagerly soaks up any and all information which can be used to create sprawling worlds of make-believe within which adventures are born. But there are limits to his vehement thirst for knowledge - never one to waste time on studying, if the subject is one which smacks of academics or is presented in a dull, heartless manner he has little interest and will do almost anything to avoid it.
Naturally a warm person, Wyl enjoys getting to know others to a degree that sometimes can be perceived as invasive. With the bluntness of youth on his side he has no qualms about crossing boundaries and indeed, is often unaware that he has done so in the first place. He believes that most beings, by and large, are good in their own peculiar ways, and those ways are fascinating. Fiercely loyal to those he does befriend, Wyl develops an unnaturally strong bond with those he considers friends and considers himself partially responsible for their well-being. The idea that one day harm might befall them is a constant worry and as such he faithfully tends to these relationships with the dedication of an award-winning florist.
Though seemingly carefree and generally a happy young boy, Wyl carries with him a deep and unabiding sense of guilt and anger over the death of his mother. Feeling partially responsible, he has determined that never again will he allow someone to be so brutally snatched away from his life and, even further, that one day he will not only see those responsible for his mother's death properly punished but will grow powerful enough in the ways of the Force to reignite her life and bring her back. The fear and fury that are so deeply hidden are not of comfort to the boy like they are to some who feel they have been wronged by life; rather, he is frightened by the strength behind these emotions and because they are far too overwhelming for him to deal with, he simply chooses to ignore them and tuck them away. Consequently a certain recklessness and tendency to act without thinking - to the point of understanding consequences and tossing them aside in favour of action - plague his otherwise sunny disposition.
