Personality
Arkien simply does not let things bother him. Caring only for the Force, protecting posterity, and cracking the occasional joke, Arkien quietly meanders through his existence, silently tolerating all abuse and pain hurled his way. He has a dry sense of humor and has a keen mind for unorthodox tactics. On a mission, he's known for wandering away from his main tasks to chat with the locals, hustle holochess players in the park, and finding local breweries. Believing that, in the right amounts, alcohol can help open one to the Force and, thus, loves a good drink. His problem-solving ritual consists of pacing - or in his case, waltzing- around a room until he can see the solution He does enjoy being a Jedi and will follow the will of the Council but often tries to follow their will in his own way. He is fairly easygoing and gets on well with children and animals best, alienating some with his odd sense of humor and somewhat strange practices. When in combat with another, he enjoys taunting his opponents and pointing out the flaw in their technique.
Gear
Nothing but his four mint-green-bladed lightsabers, a hand-carved necklace given to him by Wookiees as a gift in exchange for his protecting them against slavers. Aswell as Jedi stationed armed with ceremonial robes and a DT-12 hidden under his robes
Skills
* Saber Skills: If the greatest saber duelists of the Order could be considered professional athletes, Arkien could be considered a starter on a collegiate-level team. He's good but technically, he has room for a lot of growth. However, his intermediate skills are heavily complemented by his unconventional approach to saber dueling. Combining Form I's raw and simplistic bladework with Form IV's acrobatics with his own unique biology, Arkien is a tricky opponent to face. In addition, he typically uses the top and bottom set of his arms for lightsabers, then having the middle set of arms punch at the attackers sides and such to create a strong defense and offense, though typically people rate his level of dueling near a masters with his both combined forms.
* Force Illusion: A favorite of Arkien. He can project fairly realistic illusions that are of roughly human-sized or smaller in most average to below-average midns.
* Strength: His biology and his morning workout routines makes Arkien nearly as strong as a wookie
* Mixology: Years of drinking and perusing liquor stores has given Green quite the taste for alcohol, where it comes from, how much it should cost, and what drinks would pair nicely with most alcoholic beverages.
* Philosophy: Arkien is well-versed in both Jedi and non-Jedi philosophical thought and can appreciate numerous viewpoints.
* Negotiations: Arkien has been trained in conflict-resolution and nation-building and can help broker deals between both corporations and planets.
* A good shot with a blaster due to his eyes.
* Harch's tend to live up to a long time sometimes ranging in the near 900's range and if lucky enough might even make it to 1000.
Weaknesses
* Formerly use to drink a lot within his younger life
* Technology Indept
* Short Patience
* Dislikes sitting still
*Reckless with hits, he doesn't know his own strength.
Biography
Taken at infancy by Master Wargrown, Arkien Trinthon grew up enthusiastically consuming every piece of Jedi knowledge and training that he could, eagerly wanting to please all of his elders. Eventually being personally trained by a master in the Order, Arkien became close with the Gran Jedi Master with Wargrown taking a personal interest in the young Arkiens training. Arkien often accompanied Master Wargrown and his fellow Jedi on missions across the galaxy, finding that he had a talent for rhetoric and debate when called upon to negotiate treaties and deals. However, as the years of Akrien's youth progressed, he found his innocence tested more and more. There was one mission in particular that required him to investigate rumors of a galactic slaving ring. The search brought him to the Wookiee homeplanet of Kashyyyk, where he found himself confronted with horrible suffering. Breaking apart the operations of the slaving ring, Arkien found himself severely tested to execute every last one of the despicable slavers but Master Wargrown eventually calmed him down and made see that all beings, even slaver scum, had a chance at redemption. Still, though, it did not feel right that the slavers be incarcerated in a prison far more merciful than that which they provided their captives. For the first time, Arkien found himself in a situation where the Jedi teachings did not provide him with a satisfactory answer.
Unfortunately, there was a schism and a young Arkien was forced to enter combat against his fellow Jedi. As Harch tended to age a a lot slower than Humans, he was still considered quite young when he began fighting for the first time. While he had initially been stationed to help revitalize and organize a Republic listening post for the first few months of his war experience, his boring, combat-free, assignment was interrupted when Master Wargrown requested his presence to investigate a possible secret Sith base on the planet of Hoth. He, Master Wargrown, and another young Jedi named Basmali ventured to the icy planet with a small scout patrol of Republic troops. However, the reports indicating the Sith presence were leaked by the Sith and a trap was sprung. All three Jedi were captured during this trap and were horrifically tortured in a camp by Exiles for months until a Jedi Guardian and a Republic company liberated the camp. Wargrown and Basmali had died during the imprisonment and Arkien was close to death himself. However, instead of being broken by the experience, Arkien used it to grow and change. Gone was the overambitious youngling desperate to please. Using his imprisonment and his traumatic mission on Kahyyyk, Arkien changed. The Harch Jedi realized that life was short and minor transgressions were really not that big a deal and adopted more a "go with the flow type attitude." He simply stopped worrying about minor issues or things that could not be helped and just focused on doing the most good wherever he could, without beating himself too badly if said attempts did not work out as planned. After all, things could be far worse.
Wishing to help rebuild the Jedi Order and ensure that a threat like the Exiles never happen again, Arkien currently seeks out Jedi artifacts and brokers negotiations between planets and cities to try and help regain some of the Order's tarnished reputation. He also hopes that in his searches, he will encounter other Jedi who have lost their way - be they Exiles or just fragmented, splinter Jedi groups - and convince them to rally together with their fellow Jedi.
