Behavioural Keywords:
Altruistic | Astute | Attentive | Balanced | Bright | Caring | Charitable | Compassionate | Cooperative | Curious | Dedicated | Determined | Hesitant | Indecisive | Inquisitive | Intelligent | Intuitive | Kind | Perceptive | Rational | Scholarly | Stubborn | Studious | Understanding | Well-Read | Willful
Auteme grew up under the tutelage and guardianship of a monk whose only rule was kindness -- and to this day she follows that rule. Nothing else guides her actions more than the pure ideal of compassion and the idea that all people have good inside them. While helping others is her primary goal, Auteme is also insatiably curious and loves learning just about anything, though especially about xenobiology, culture, and linguistics. When she sets her mind to something, she can become very focused and determined to the point of stubbornness. Her studies and her innate moral compass make some answers come easy to her, but when there isn't an obvious choice, Auteme can become hesitant and indecisive. She rarely takes extreme measures and refuses to resort to violence in most cases, and she's wary of people who fight or anger easily.
Character Strengths:
- Agile: Spending time with a monk trained in the Echani Arts rubbed off on Auteme -- thanks to a little push from the Force and some training in acrobatics, Auteme is light on her feet.
- Scholar: Auteme is extremely studious, well-read and organized. She understands the best way to learn about a subject and how to study, thus she's able to store information very well. She has a knowledge on a variety of subjects but focuses particularly on biology and medicine. If she doesn't have a piece of information, she usually knows where she can find it.
- Adept: Auteme understands the Force and is adept in its study and use, specifically pertaining to the Light Side of the Force.
- Pure: While she hasn't completely realized it, over time Auteme has developed a stellar mental and emotional fortitude. She is nearly immune to the temptations of the Dark Side. Her presence in the Force is brilliant and pure.
- Speaker: Her time as the New Jedi Order's Senate Representative has given her the charisma and cadence necessary to be a good public speaker. Even when not speaking from a prepared statement, Auteme's words always seem carefully chosen and well-spoken.
Character Flaws:
- Reluctant: Auteme often hesitates when making important decisions, or when there isn't an obvious choice.
- Pacifist: While she can accept some of the actions the other Jedi take, Auteme dislikes harming others and has an aversion to bloody wounds. She always seeks the most peaceful route, even if that isn't the most efficient one.
- Abandonment: Auteme has a deep fear of losing her loved ones, and yearns for permanence in her life.
- Darkness: Auteme is almost completely unable to interact with objects imbued with the Dark Side of the Force. They refuse to respond to her in any way, and repel her if she attempts to touch or otherwise interact with one.
Tropes:
- Incorruptible Pure Pureness
- The Smart Guy
- Bookworm
- Encyclopaedic Knowledge
- Healing Hands
- The Medic
- The Heart
- All-Loving Hero
- Hates Being Alone
- Badass Pacifist

“Tell me again how you found me.”
“You never get tired of this story, do you? Very well. It was on Concord Dawn… I heard the crash as the ship fell from the sky, saw the fire from a mile away. I came as fast as I could -- and the first person I saw was you. You were teetering on the edge of an earthen ledge on the side of the cliff, in your little green outfit… of course I had to help. You must’ve bounced far away from the wreckage and the other passengers -- it seemed almost that you were dead. I climbed up and reached you… and you know the rest.”
“No I don’t!”
“You do, little one. It’s time to sleep.”
“But I’m not tired!”
“If you stay up late you’ll be tired tomorrow, and how can you create your own stories if you are so sleepy?”
“Fine…”
“Goodnight Auteme. Sleep well.”
“Goodnight.”

Auteme grew up traveling with a mysterious monk after an accident left her without a family. She was only four -- but the vague memories of her parents were soon washed away as she spent her time traveling with the monk. The monk had no name -- he was a humble old Mandalorian who felt he no longer had the right to hold his old one.
The two were inseparable -- mostly because Auteme had nowhere else to go, and the monk made sure that she was well taken care of. The pair traveled across the galaxy, and Auteme saw more of it than most children her age. They didn't have any money, but the monk was kind almost to a fault, and often helped people in need. Auteme grew up with a prime example of a good person for a role model -- and she also saw how such kindness was returned to the monk, in the form of food, clothes, and whatever else was needed. She grew to be equally kind.
Practicality wasn't ignored, of course, the old monk taught the girl some useful skills. She picked up little things from traveling the galaxy, and he gave her the basics of how to handle herself and how to use her natural agility.
They often went to the grand stores of knowledge in the galaxy, spending hours upon hours in the various archives. The monk spent his time searching for something specific, something he did not share with Auteme. She was left to her own devices on these long days, and spent her time reading about history and languages and races of the galaxy.
A month after her sixteenth birthday they arrived at the Jedi Temple on Kashyyyk. After two days of further research, the monk told Auteme he was leaving and she could not follow.
---
“You have grown into yourself, little one. My journey takes me elsewhere, but I sense that your path begins here.”
“I don't… I don't want to stay here. I don't know these people, I-”
“Hush, Auteme. You are ready for a new chapter, as am I,” the monk said. He paused, then smiled to the girl. “I must earn my name once more -- but I would like you to keep it. My clan was Clan Durren. You, little one, are worthy of that name. Keep it until I return and find you once more.”

Hey there! This is an OOC zone, where I put my ideas and core writing components. Hopefully it helps you understand the character a little better, just as writing these things down will help me better shape and guide Auteme on her journey.
Guiding Questions:
- What is the nature of the Force?
- Current Answer: "The Force is life, and to end life is to hurt the Force."
- What is the best way to improve the galaxy?
- Current Answer: "Lasting political and cultural change, one person at a time through compassion and nonviolence."
- What is a Jedi?
- Current Answer: "A Jedi is a force for good in the galaxy, and must use their power to work towards peace of self and others. How they achieve this is up to the individual."
- Heal the galaxy.
- Help her friends.
- Bring about lasting peace, love, and kindness to the galaxy.
- Auteme has a strong sense of self and thrives when given things to react to. Most posts are primarily composed of her own thoughts and connections to other things -- while I have yet to write it, Auteme practices a sort of mind palace to store information and organize herself, so that can be one interpretation of it.
- I have not picked any particular imagery, but Auteme is quite attentive and observant. When in the natural world she notices everything around her and seeks to understand it better, while still appreciating the beauty of life.
- Auteme tends to be a relatively passive character, but when called and committed to action she is focused and competent.
- As her story continues she will grow more in tune with the Force, and more regularly call on it for guidance. She will sense the flow around her and better understand the nature of the galaxy.
- While I had not initially intended it, the best inspiration -- and potential end goal for Auteme -- is the Legends character Fay, a Jedi Master so in tune with the Force that it kept her alive for hundreds of years, while she did its bidding by ending wars and bringing compassion and love to the hearts of others. This suggests that the true nature of the Force is one that supports life and seeks harmony and balance. Auteme leans towards this belief heavily. She is pure of heart and only rarely sways from her morals.
- Under the traits section, Auteme has numerous tropes related to her. Second to the purity is her wisdom and intelligence. She is the archetypal smart guy; she always knows what needs to be known, but does not have the same combative skill set as many around her.
- At her core, Auteme is still a teenager and is affected by a variety of mundane situations. As much as she tries to be kind and friendly, there are little ticks she has that keep her human and far from the often stoic and righteous Jedi.
- Following the more mundane side of life in the Star Wars Galaxy, I did want to add a (small) lens of realism to Auteme's journey. She's become a medical student after realizing that being a Jedi doesn't actually qualify you for anything. She might be smart, and she might be a healer, but if people only take her seriously because of her position as a Jedi, it's just not right. Not everyone has the advantage of Force sensitivity and passing over their hard work is an insult. She's become dedicated to learning in a more traditional sense and garnering academic credibility such that no matter the situation she can do something to change the galaxy for the better.
- Since overcoming most of her loneliness and inferiority issues, Auteme has effectively become a complete person. While moments of doubt still happen, they are more self-reflection than moments of crippling anxiety -- the world may be attempting to trick her into believing the lie, but Auteme never gives up on changing the world. Having overcome this, her arc has transitioned from a more positive arc to a flat arc. Rather than a protagonist, Auteme is an impact character. Her beliefs are very strong, and there is no lie for her to overcome. Instead she changes the world and characters around her rather than herself. The truth she believes is: "To do good is the only way to live, and the greatest good will be true peace. Everyone can help achieve that goal." Her answers to the core questions of the story will not change.
- Change to Setting: As a Jedi far from the battlefield, Auteme makes her impact in the Senate and as a peacekeeper. In character she's already helped settle small conflicts on Wayland and on Peace Station. Now that she's become the official representative of the New Jedi Order to the Senate, she can have an impact throughout the GA and potentially beyond.
- Change to Characters: Most of Auteme's time has been spent with other Jedi, and because they hold similar ideals to her she has not been able to change them much. But, her unwavering kindness, compassion, and support will help others get through difficult times. As a supporting character she's always helpful and rarely doubts the person she's supporting.
