---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Cerik is a native of the Confederate planet of Christophsis. His home planet is dominated by class inequalities, where the ruling few have tight control over the working lower classes. Being born into one of these lower working classes, his family struggled to get by day to day. His father was a miner, Christophsis' most known profession. While the planet itself had the ability to produce force crystals, the planet was not actually the mining zone. Instead miners found themselves travelling daily to the asteroid fields within the planet's surface. Everyday Cerik's father would go to work on these asteroids, often 12 hours at a time, barely bringing in enough money for the family. Cerik and his older sister attended primary school, and helped their mother around the house when not in school. Overall the family led a monotonous and rigorous lifestyle. Unfortunately, his father encountered an accident at work, an unknown explosion within the asteroid field, that left his left arm obliterated. This also left him unable to work, completely cutting off his family's income, as the ruling families of Christophsis refused compensation. Cerik was 13 at the time, and made a decision to support his family, and left to officially join the Confederacy. After being tested for force sensitivity, he was sent into official schooling and training for the Knights Obsidian, also earning himself compensation for his family's survival.
Within his years of training, Cerik learned much about the Force, something he knew very little about previously. Amazed by his own abilities, he saw the good that could be used from it. His own struggles growing up and seeing the classist state of his home drew him to light side of the Force. In his classes, he found a strong interest and passion in studying history. He'd often research the old Republics and especially the Jedi. He observed their changes in philosophy and attitude towards the Force, trying to pinpoint what went wrong. He admired their stance for peace, justice, and empathy, but felt strongly that their downfall resulted in strict adherence to rules and regulations. He often noted too, there were times in history where war was inevitable, yet the Jedi backed down and let innocents die because they were afraid of the darkside and refused to fight for those who needed it. From these observations, Cerik created a sort of personal code regarding the force, combing aspects of the Jedi of old, and some of the Knights Obsidian. He strongly agreed with peace and the light, yet recognized that emotion and attachment was okay, and perhaps the Force couldn't be summarized into just Light and Dark, even if he heavily favored one. He also recognized the Force was more than a tool, but that contradicts the Obsidians teachings. This did not worry him though, as he wouldn't be punished for disagreements. He just kept his views to himself out of respect for his peers and teachers and the realization that the force was so big, that not one person's views are fully right, even his own.
Cerik also took a strong liking to the lightsaber. Specifically in the Soresu form. As a person of empathy and peace, trying to mediate instead of fight, he found that he strongly aligned with the traits of the defensive form. Most of his physical, mental, and practical training involved honing this form in every way possible. Far from being called a "master" in the form, he took pride in his skill within in it. To make up for his deficiencies in offense, he picked up the Niman form as well. Not quite an offensive form, but a combination of all forms, this was a easy step out for Cerik as it took aspects of his favorite form, and gave him other tools to incorporate. While history might be his favorite subject, the lightsaber could well be his second favorite, being sure to constantly hone the skill so that when the noble peacemaker resorts to the blade, his opponent is caught unaware.
Now at the age of 19, Cerik has finished up his academy work and has been promoted to a junior member of the Knights Obsidian within the Adjudicator branch. From there, Cerik is trying to find his own path to help his peers, protect his people, and better himself.
