Never concede to evil.
Once, Risen longed to live up to the Jedi legend, a source of hope on his desolate homeworld. Now, he knows better. Now he knows there are no legends. Every soldier asks themselves why they follow orders, but not every soldier finds an answer. On a good day, Risen believes that there’s something noble in standing against evil. He fights for good because there is nothing else worth fighting for, and to repay those that saved him, trained him.
Other days, he knows that fighting is all he’s good for.
Now, he must learn to be a teacher and mentor. The prospect is grueling, his student troublesome. But orders are orders.
Strengths + Flaws
Focus: Risen has a singular focus, and will pursue a task he’s set his mind to without fail.
Experience: Dathomir was hell. By the time he left, Risen had seen more than many see in a lifetime. He is adaptable and hard to surprise.
Incorruptible: Risen's mind is resistant to the beguiling effects of Force magic. His will is unbreakable.
Gravity: Risen takes himself very seriously. He is an imposing presence, but also easy to make fun of.
Soldier: A soldier will overcome great challenges to follow orders. Risen takes pride in a job well done.
Poor Leader: Relying heavily on orders, Risen feels unable (or unwilling) to take command. He’d rather carry out the impossible task than adjust it.
Simple: Much of the modern world is mysterious to Risen. Politics, starships, and high-tech equipment are outside his grasp.
Guilty: Risen survives when others don’t. Death and failure weigh heavy on his mind.
Training
Celerity: The Matukai taught Risen to enhance his body with the Force. He can move at incredible speeds, especially over short distances.
Wan-shen: Risen is well-trained in the unique polearm of the Matukai, but has less experience with lightsabers.
Force-Weak: Matukai tradition teaches that the Force is focused through the body. Risen can only use the Force on what is a part of him, struggling with other Alter Force abilities.
Tropes
(Empowered) Badass Normal — Blade on a Stick — Determinator — Improbable Age — Large and in Charge — Meaningful Name — Foreign Exchange Student — Power Glows — Super Speed/Flash Step — Survivor Guilt — Walking Disaster Area

Where Dathomir is known, it is known as a savage place. A resilient population of humans survives where the land is arable. Risen is a product of this environment, far from the accommodations of interstellar life.
In much of Dathomir, the Jedi are looked on as once-saviors. Many still wish for the deliverance and protection they provided. Risen was one of a cohort of younglings claimed by the local landlord in hopes of rekindling these chivalric ideals. Assisted by the Matukai adept Beshav, a corps of Force-adepts was created to serve at his leisure.
It would not last. Tragedy struck the new crop of Matukai, and Risen came under care of the Witches of Dathomir. They softened his anger, teaching him the ideals of the Sisterhood.
Risen recovered, but lacked direction. He set out to find offworld transit, seeking for himself the Order he had held in such high esteem. Having already cut his teeth under tutelage of the Matukai, Risen was granted the opportunity to enter as a knight should he pass the Trials. He succeeded. Until recently, he served as a bodyguard on the Outer Rim.
