In the serene ambiance of his treehouse and gardens, nestled among the whispering leaves and sturdy branches, Braze is deeply engrossed in a task that resonates with the core of his Jedi identity. The space around him is organized yet brimming with various components and tools, each meticulously arranged for easy access. Sunlight filters through the foliage, casting dappled patterns of light and shadow, creating an almost mystical setting for his work, perfect for the meditative state of mind.
At the heart of his focus is the design and assembly of his lightsaber hilt, a rite of passage for any Jedi, especially for a Padawan like Braze. The hilt, not just a weapon but a symbol of his commitment to the Jedi path, lies disassembled in front of him. Each piece is carefully laid out on a velvet cloth to prevent any damage or loss.
Braze is currently engaged in the delicate process of assembling a mock-up of the hilt. This preliminary step is crucial, allowing him to visualize the final product and ensure that all components fit together seamlessly. His design is unique, reflecting his personal journey and understanding of the Force. The hilt's contours and weight are tailored to his grip and preferred makashi fighting style, promising ease of movement and balance.
He picks up the main body of the hilt, its surface smooth yet durable, made from a rare alloy known as song steel that he chose for both its aesthetic appeal and functional properties. He carefully aligns it with the emitter, where the blade will eventually project. This part of the hilt is critical, and he double-checks the alignment, ensuring that the energy flow will be optimal for a stable blade.
Next, he attaches the power cell compartment, a compact module that will house the energy source of the lightsaber. Braze is mindful of the delicate electronics within, knowing that any misalignment could affect the saber's performance. He then proceeds to fit in the crystal chamber, the heart of the lightsaber, where the kyber crystal will eventually reside. Although the crystal is not yet in place, he meticulously prepares the chamber, envisioning the moment he will install the crystal that will define his blade's color and characteristics.
As he works, Braze occasionally pauses to consult a holocron, loaded with schematics and notes from his studies. He's dead set to try and get every detail right, understanding that building a lightsaber is not just a matter of technical skill, but also a deeply personal and spiritual endeavor.
To an unknowing on-looker, he may just appear to be some young kid playing around with electrical components in a makeshift work shop beneath the trees.
