Development Threads: From Past to Present: Chapter 2, Secrets in the Dirt
Age: 40
Species: Verpine
Force-Sensitive: Yes, Pra'ct is a Jedi Researcher (Jedi Knight rank)
Appearance: See photo
Personality: Pra'ct is a book worm, spending much of his time researching and reading up on Jedi and Sith history. He has dedicated much of his life among the Jedi to the discovery of Jedi relics and the discovery, and destruction, of Sith relics. Pra'ct can be best described as enthusiastic when it comes to research and his digs, finding his work fascinating even if it is considered boring by others.
Weapon of Choice: His mind and a blue bladed lightsaber.
Combat Function: Jedi Pra'ct has very little in the way of fighting skills. He had basic training in combat as a Jedi Padawan, but has since abandoned combat for his work. Pra'ct isn't necessarily defenseless and could hold his own against small numbers, but against another force user or a skilled NFU, he would fall fairly easily. Since his capture and torture at the hands of a Sith during an archaeological dig, Jedi Qual, Soli Baris, and Kian Karr have all been aiding him in learning more pronounced lightsaber skills.
Skills:
- Shii Cho: only the most basic of lightsaber skills
- Intelligence: Highly intelligent and thinks fast on his feet
- Basic command of the force
- Expert in Sith and Jedi history and archaeological digs
Other Notes: Pra'ct was born in the Roche Asteroid Cluster and was raised among his people there until adulthood. While among the Verpine in the Asteroid Belt, Pra'ct specialized in archaeology and history, while the majority of his family were ship builders and robot designers. Pra'ct, when he reached adulthood, had the choice between joining the Jedi Order or going off to University to further his education. Seeing it as the path that would do the most good, Pra'ct chose the Jedi order.
His early years among the Jedi Order were fairly common for padawans, although he was certainly older than many of his fellow students. Pra'ct, though certainly not a powerhouse, was strong enough in the force that he quickly picked up on his lessons. Lightsaber combat lessons were far less successful however, and it was noted that he would make a poor Guardian. Regardless, Pra'ct made it from padawan to Knighthood after successfully negotiating a peaceful end to a civil war among two tribal cultures on one of the planets on the fringe of the galaxy.
Once he had made it to knighthood, Pra'ct abandoned his lightsaber and force training to specialize in the academic branches of the Jedi Order. Pra'ct rose to fame as one of the most well versed on Sith and Jedi history and was involved in the discovery of a number of archaeological sites (e.g., the crash site of Jedi Master Plo Koon, the ancestral home of Satele Shan). Pra'ct, showing a particular knack for Sith artifacts, was quickly recruited to the Gnost Dural by Kian Karr and has made the ship his home ever since. Following his capture and torture at the hands of a Sith while excavating the ancestral homeof Satele Shan, Pra'ct has begun training more in his lightsaber skills and has befriended Jedi Qual and Baris.
