Companions and Contacts

Kira Carsen

Prone to cynicism and a stubborn independent streak, Kira Carsen is an improbable recruit to the Jedi Order. This is partially excused by the fact that she began her Padawan training as a young adult; Kira had spent most of her life up to that point as a homeless drifter, scraping out a miserable existence on some of the galaxy's most unpleasant worlds.

Thanks to her hard-luck upbringing, Kira has considerably more life experience than most Jedi--and a world-weary sophisticate's attitude to match. In the eyes of her peers, Kira is someone who refuses to take anything seriously or fully commit to the Jedi path.

Those who look more closely, however, might detect the glimmer of an optimist peeking through Kira's sarcastic facade. Despite her insistence on questioning its teachings, she has a deep appreciation for the comfort and relative safety she obtained by joining the Jedi Order.

Likes: Being funny, getting involved, mocking and defeating the Empire
Dislikes: Bullying, acting like a mercenary, cooperating with Sith

Lord Scourge

As the Sith Emperor's personal executioner, the grimly fatalistic Lord Scourge has personally killed more than a hundred Jedi--and ten times as many Sith. Even the most powerful members of the Dark Council avoided offending the who man once bore the title "the Emperor's Wrath."

Lord Scourge has dutifully served the Empire for over three hundred years, his life unnaturally prolonged by perverse technology and his master's dark side powers. Centuries spent watching his fellow Sith Lords rise and fall has given Lord Scourge a unique perspective on people. He can analyze someone's flaws after only brief observation, and freely shares his perceptions (whether they're wanted or not).

Likes: Using power against the weak, power, anger, revenge and spite
Dislikes: Greed, acts of mercy, Jedi and Republic authorities

Tharan Cedrax

Although not a household name, Tharan Cedrax is well known in several circles. In the casinos of Nar Shaddaa, he is cursed as a card-counting mathematical genius. To the eligible women of the galaxy, he is a famous charmer who sees rejection as an intriguing challenge. Among technologists, he earned accolades for solving a technical paradox that revolutionized computer slicing; despite his achievements, however, Tharan isn't taken seriously by the galaxy's scientific community, which looks down on him as a playboy rather than a serious researcher.

In recent years, Tharan has taken an interest in "exo-technology," an almost unknown field involving esoteric alien sciences, and gone into business making custom gadgets for wealthy clients. Often accompanied by his lovely holographic companion, Holiday, Tharan has spent his credits freely, enjoying the very best Nar Shaddaa has to offer while staying just shy of its dangers.

Likes: Cleverness, logical thinking, aiding scientists and beautiful women, getting something for nothing
Dislikes: Mystical Jedi nonsense, Force Persuade, destroying science, heroism that involves danger

Arn Peralun
The Damaged Padawan

Severely wounded by artillery fire while he was still a padawan, Arn Peralun has only recently returned to complete his training as a Jedi. Like his master, Tau Idair, Arn struggles with his place among the Jedi, even as he remains determined to become the heroic protector of the peace that he has always aspired to be.

Jakarro
A Wookiee and his Droid

Brazen, quick-tempered, and completely fearless, Jakarro is a larger-than-life Wookiee mercenary who travels the galaxy in search of adventure and profit along with his translator droid C2-D4... at least, what's left of him. Most of D4 has been ripped off bit by bit whenever he annoyed Jakarro over the years; the droid's head and a few other vital elements are the only pieces left now, strapped to Jakarro's body armor and going wherever the Wookiee goes.
