Charming — Raising himself on the streets of Coruscant as an impoverished orphan. Jasper had to learn how to win friends and influence people for his survival as a child. He knows how to communicate with people well, and in general, is very likable.
Inquisitive — Jasper has a thirst to attain as much knowledge as possible. He isn't afraid to ask a lot of questions, even going as far as bombarding other Jedi with a lot of questions, especially if he knows they know more than him. Jasper also holds the belief that he can learn something from almost anyone.
Quick Learner — Due to his inquisitive nature, Jasper tends to learn things quickly. The caveat of this is that he prefers to learn deep rather than wide. Learning as much about a subject as he can before moving on to the next.
Dedication — When Jasper sets out to do something, he does it, with a single-minded focus. It doesn't matter if it takes him hours, weeks, days, or months. If he wants to achieve something he will pursue it until he has attained it.
Athletic — Due to his build, Jasper has lean muscle. Through his training at the Jedi Temple, he has managed to build up his stamina. He can run for long distances and lift up to 45kg (99 lbs), unaided by the force.
-
Inexperienced — Although Jasper has learned a lot at the Jedi Temple, he has very little practical experience. Leaving him vulnerable in dangerous situations. Beyond the standard classes that Jedi initiates take, he has had very little real training.
Agreeable — Jasper wants to be liked, to the point where he gets nervous around people. He has a tendency to do things that conflict with his personal interests and wants if that means pleasing other people.
Impressionable — Jasper is still in a phase of his life where he is learning a lot. He is young, and he is an idealist. It seems that with every new book he reads, or every new person he questions, he takes something from them to apply to himself. This can lead to some opinions and ideas that he will vehemently defend, despite not yet having the knowledge to truly analyze and defend them.
Jasper was born on Coruscant. His mother was Irene Olpher, a noblewoman, daughter of aristocratic weapons dealers. Cast out and abandoned by her family, for falling in love and getting pregnant by their gardener, Henry Javik. The beginning of his life was lived in modest comfort. However, due to her growing unhappiness as a result of her estrangement from her family and family fortune, she took her own life when Jasper was three years old. After the death of his wife, Jasper's father started to let his life spiral. Falling into a Death Stick addiction, and accumulating debt. Jasper's father was abducted and murdered by a crime lord, to whom he owed a large sum of credits. At the tender age of five years old, Jasper returned home from school to find the apartment he had lived in ransacked, and his father missing.
Not being able to afford anything, Jasper got evicted from the apartment he had lived in for his entire life. Without the safety of a mother and father, he was cast to the streets of Coruscant. Cold and hungry, he quickly learned how to deal with merchants, dealers, and criminals. Jasper did odd jobs around the city in exchange for food and shelter. Dealing with the scum of the underbelly taught him important lessons about how to deal with, and talk to, people in a way that didn't result in being at the end of a blaster. By the age of eight, Jasper had already shown that he had an aura of charm, and people quite often liked him.
When he was ten years old, after years of roaming the streets in squalor and destitution, Jasper was discovered by a Jedi of the Silver Jedi Concord who was visiting the planet. The Jedi took him in, nourished him, and gave him shelter during his stay on Coruscant. When offered to live in the Silver Rest on Kashyyyk and learn the ways of the Force, Jasper jumped at the opportunity. He was a quiet student at first, very withdrawn, but he soon got comfortable and became unabashedly tactful about asking questions. He became determined to learn everything he could from anyone who would take the time to talk to him. Jasper showed no extraordinary talent, and in fact, found it harder than most of his peers to do well in his classes. He put in countless hours of study, both for his classes and for his personal interest, to learn as much as he could.
Having done well in most of his classes, and showing the determination needed to succeed. The Silver Order decided that it was time for Jasper to graduate from basic classes, and ascend to being an official Padawan. With steadier access to people and the archives, it really feels like the sky is the limit for Jasper. Ready to begin his adventure...
