Alexian Amoree

Alexian Amoree is a force-sensitive male human who was born on the planet of Kabaira. He served the Galactic Republic as a Jedi Master and was later an active leader in the Rebel Alliance. Amoree was born to Rosy Amoree in 47 BBY and was conceived by midi-chlorians, the symbiotic organisms that allowed individuals to touch the Force. The maker behind his creation was Sith Lord Darth Plagueis, who had attempted to create life through the Force.

Jedi Master Mace Windu discovered Amoree on his home planet in 42 BBY. Amoree was then taken from his mother when he was only five-years-old by Windu and brought to the Coruscant Jedi Temple where he began his training. Thought to be the Chosen One, Amoree was given special attention when he was a developing Jedi. When his training began, he was placed in the Squall Clan and was praised for his skill in lightsaber combat. His lightsaber instructor, Jedi Master Beni Fresser, was seen as a mentor to Alexian while growing up. He would spend countless hours each day training with Fresser in order to master six of the seven forms of lightsaber combat.

In the year 32 BBY, during the Naboo Crisis, Alexian was sent to the planet in order to aid Queen Amidala. While there, he met his future wife, Padmé Naberrie. However, he did not realize that the Queen and Padmé were the same person. After predicting the Invasion of Naboo, Alexian advised the Queen to escape the city and with help from Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn and his Padawan, Obi-Wan Kenobi, they were able to bring the Queen to safety. While flying through the blockade, their hyperdrive was damaged and the ship was forced to land on a nearby planet. Jinn, Amoree, Naberrie, R2-D2, and Jar Jar Binks then met a boy, Anakin Skywalker, who helped them secure their parts by winning the Boonta Eve Classic podrace.

In 26 BBY, a year after Amoree was promoted to the rank of Jedi Knight, Windu suggested he start looking at the Jedi younglings in order to pick a Padawan when they come of age. Although hesitant to take on a Padawan of his own, Amoree followed his former Master's advice and began scouting for an apprentice. A year later, he began to take an interest in a young Twi'lek girl named Alitay Thraal. Thraal was nearing the end of her stay at the Coruscant Jedi Temple and was close to being place into the Jedi Service Corps when Amoree found her. Most saw her as a young, frightened, but Amoree recognized the potential she had. But the thing that tipped the scale for him was her extreme compassion which reminded him of Padmé so he took her on as his Padawan.

Ten years following the Invasion of Naboo, after the assassination attempt on the Senator of Naboo, Padmé Amidala, Amoree was assigned to protect her. While on Coruscant, another attempt on her life was made, however Amoree reached her in time before she was killed. Amidala and Amoree then travelled to the lakeside of Naboo where they quickly relived their feelings for each other. While on Naboo, Amoree had a premonition of Skywalker committing genocide on an entire Tusken Raider village and felt compelled to stop him. Amidala agreed and they traveled to Tatooine. After being unable to stop him from going, Amoree and Amidala remained at the Lars' Homestead until Skywalker returned. When they went back to their starship, a message from Obi-Wan Kenobi was received. Following orders from Amidala to go rescue Kenobi, Amoree and Skywalker flew to Geonosis where they were captured and sentenced to death. Thankfully, Amoree had retransmitted Kenobi's message to the Jedi Council so the four were saved by a collection of over two-hundred Jedi and the Republic's clone army. This signified the beginning of the Clone Wars.

Before His Birth
In 48 BBY, twenty-three year old Rosy Amoree became pregnant with a baby boy. Amoree claimed there was not a father to her child and that the entire phenomenon was a mystery. Rumors as to how he was created varied. The Jedi believe his existence was the result of Darth Plagueis attempting to shift the balance to favor the dark side and that the Force impregnated Rosy Amoree in order to bring balance back to the universe. Others believe he was created by unknowingly Darth Plagueis during his experiments with midi-chlorians.

Birth and Early Life
Alexian Amoree was born to Rosy Amoree in 47 BBY on Kabaira. As a single mother, Amoree tried her hardest to provide for her newborn son but she could only do so much. While raising her son, Rosy traveled to different towns and ports on Kabaira in order to find work. Because of this, they never had a stable home. Around the age of three, Alexian was already portraying the common tendencies that Jedi have. For example, Alexian was able to catch things with extreme reflexes, an oddity to even the most coordinated toddler. He was also incredibly compassionate and well-behaved. Along with this, he was an incredibly intelligent boy, surpassing the seven year olds in academics at only five years old.

When Alexian was five years old, a Jedi Master by the name of Mace Windu arrived on Kabaira. The Jedi had been drawn to the planet for an unknown reason except for the Force compelling him to visit the planet. Windu eventually found Rosy and her son on a small island, and met the young five year old. He instantly realized that the boy was Force-sensitive and tested his midi-chlorian count, which revealed an incredibly high number -- higher than any other Jedi in existence. Windu revealed to his mother that it was Alexian's destiny to become a Jedi. Although reluctant to part from her son, she knew that letting him go to fulfill his destiny was the right thing to do. So after much contemplation, Rosy allowed Mace Windu to take her son to the Jedi Temple to be trained as a Jedi. He did so, taking the young boy on his jet and flew him to the capital planet of Coruscant.

Jedi Initiate
When Alexian arrived at the Jedi Temple in 42 BBY, he was only five years. But he was instantly placed into the Temple and began his training. From the moment he became an Initiate to his promotion to Knight, Alexian was mentored and trained by Mace Windu. Because of his high midi-chlorian count, the Jedi Council suspected he was the one who would bring balance to the Force and therefore wanted the duration of his training to be under one of the most skilled Jedi Masters, which was Mace Windu. The two spent the majority of Amoree's first seven years of training at the Jedi Temple on Coruscant so that he had an extensive knowledge of the Force and the Jedi Order. Windu also wanted to instill the same love for civility he had. As a duo, Windu and Amoree did many domestic missions in the large city that were focused on helping the people and keeping the peace. This did just as Windu wanted -- instilled a heavy sense of duty and honor in Amoree at a young age.

Outside of training with Windu, when Amoree was with the other younglings in his clan, he was heavily alienated by the other Initiates. This was usually due to Amoree being regarded as the most talented youngling training at the Jedi Temple and made an incredible reputation for himself at a young age, becoming the teachers' favorite student. This made it hard for him to make friends since most of the younglings were somewhat jealous of the attention and praise he received. However, Amoree never let it affect his performance as a youngling but deep down, he found himself becoming very lonely. Because of this, he reached out to Jedi padawans who were occasionally at the Jedi Temple. For example, he grew to be really close to Obi-Wan Kenobi when he was around eleven years old after meeting him in the Jedi Archives.

Windu's Padawan
In 35 BBY, at the age of twelve, Amoree officially became Windu's apprentice after his training at the temple ceased. Once an official padawan, Windu took Amoree on missions around the galaxy, sharing his own personal tricks and abilities, and teaching him how to keep the peace. However, despite his self-discipline, Alexian would at times allow his arrogance to shine through and he would put himself at risk. This forced Windu to humble the young Jedi, normally in sparring or contests. Usually it would work, and over time Alexian learned that "arrogance leads to insecurities which leads to weakness."

As a young Jedi, Alexian was prone to accidents and injuries. He was occasionally reckless and irresponsible which led him to get hurt while on missions or in the Temple. This influenced him to train in the art of Force healing which would allow him to heal his small injuries just by the use of the Force. Amoree picked up the skill quickly, understanding that Force healing required intense meditation and focus, which were his strong points. Because there weren't main healers willing to train him, he had to learn on his own which drove him to the Archives. In the Archives, he spent many hours of his free time reading the permitted journals of past healers that explained the ability. Despite all the texts he read, it took Amoree an entire year of meditation and determination to successfully heal the bruises and cuts he endured while on a mission with Windu. As time went on and he grew more powerful, he was able to heal large wounds.

Personality and Traits

Lightsaber training
At a young age, Alexian's training was steered towards lightsaber combat. He strived to master all seven forms of lightsaber combat, excluding the forbidden Form VII known as Vaapad. While studying at the Jedi Temple, Alexian's favored form of combat was Ataru, Form IV, best known for it's aerobatics and swift attacks. However, as he grew older and taller, he soon realized Ataru wasn't as affective for a person of his stature. Adapting to this realization, Alexian worked towards mastering the defensive form of Soresu and the aggressive Djem So. While mastering Form III and Form V as a Padawan, Alexian was extremely influenced by Mace Windu's personal form of combat, Vaapad. Alexian, after a few months of being under his stewardship, began to develop habits that mimicked Windu's. Specifically, Alexian began incorporating the mindset required when using Vaapad -- one where the practitioner feeds off their opponent's anger and relishes in the satisfaction of winning. Windu didn't fully realize this until after Alexian's conflict with Darth Maul when Qui-Gon Jinn shared his concerns for the boy's unstable fighting mentality. Following the Battle of Naboo, Windu dedicated a year of Alexian's apprenticeship to learning and understanding Vaapad. Alexian quickly learned the fighting style and opening stances, but there was still concern for how the dark mindset required would affect him. Because of the concern, Windu regularly meditated with his Padawan to ensure his thoughts remained good and pure.

By the age of nineteen when he was promoted to Knighthood, Alexian had mastered four out of the seven lightsaber combat forms, including Ataru, Soresu, Djem So, and Vaapad. However, as a Knight and later on as a Master, he continued to favor the action packed, fast-paced Ataru over all the others. During casual duels, he religiously used the fast, strong strikes from Form V and VII but also incorporated the flying and dodging movements from Form IV. Overall, Alexian used a balanced combination of all of his mastered forms, using the best parts of all of them. During the Clone Wars, when dueling with the experienced Sith Lord Count Dooku, known as Darth Tyranus, and infamous Jedi-killer General Grievous, Alexian primarily used Vaapad, finding it the most effective defense against their evil tactics. Later in his life as his youthfulness decreased, Alexian primarily used Forms V and III because of their limited movements but continued to use the mindset developed from Vaapad. When Alexian trained his two children, Luke and Leia, he allowed them to choose their preferred forms but heavily suggested Ataru or Djem So. However, he did not reveal to them Form VII until they were older and he believed they were truly prepared.

Alexian's most notable duels occurred between himself and Sith Lords, primarily his first with Darth Maul on Tatooine. At the age of fifteen while caught in the middle of the Naboo Crisis, Alexian was attacked by Darth Maul who was after Queen Amidala, Qui-Gon Jinn, Obi-Wan Kenobi, and himself. Surprisingly, Alexian was able to fend off the Dathomirian but only due to his use of the Vaapad mindset. He allowed himself to enjoy the fight, using his anger towards his opponent and protectiveness over Padmé to fuel his strength. The fight ended when Alexian Force-pushed Maul off the Nubian's ramp but only after sustaining a wound to the arm. During the Battle of Geonosis, Alexian fought Count Dooku briefly after the Sith had struck down both Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi. Throughout the Clone Wars, Alexian occasionally was forced to fight against other Sith Lords or their apprentices.
