NAME: Irayla Draconis
FACTION: Jedi
RANK: Knight
SPECIES: Zeltron
AGE: 32
GENDER: Female
HEIGHT: 5' 10"
WEIGHT: 128 lbs
EYES: Jade-Green
HAIR: Midnight Black
SKIN: Reddish-Pink
DISTINGUISHING MARKS: She has Aurebesh lettering running up the length of both of her arms. Her left arm reads, "Through Passion I Gain Strength" and her right arm reads, "The Force Shall Free Me." Though, she tends to cover these up with arm wraps or the such because she is ashamed of the part of her life they represent. On the other hand, they also serve as a reminder to never go down that road again.
FORCE SENSITIVE: Yes
STRENGTH: She was raised on the streets, so she knows how to handle herself in a fight. Before she was discovered as a Jedi, she was well trained in knife fighting as well as hand-to-hand combat.
DEXTERITY: Well obviously she is gifted with the speed and dexterity famous in almost all Jedi. She is capable of using both her right and left hand for writing, and saber wielding. She was a rogue and a thief for the earlier years of her life so she has a natural stealth and swiftness about her.
CONSTITUTION: A being of emotion and passion, she can maintain a high velocity of adrenaline, strength and speed for long periods of time; though if she sustains too much injury during this time and does not address it, it could prove fatal.
INTELLIGENCE: She has a high intelligence for books and politics as well as some basic engineering and mechanics. Her true genius, however, lies in languages and customs.
CHARISMA: She was born with a naturally high charisma, for many different species, male or female, tend to be drawn to her passion and her prowess. She has a great gift for words and flattery. She also tends to use her sex and her species to persuade others to give her what she wants at the best deal imaginable.
FORCE POWERS: Old Powers: At her strongest influence in the Dark Side she had the Dopplegänger ability as well as Deadly sight and Memory Walking or Torture by Chagrin as it is also called. After the battle with Darth Malignant, however, almost all of her original abilities light or dark side influenced, were forgotten or lost. Mostly all of the abilities she now possesses had to be relearned or remembered.
Basic/Core Powers: Force Speed, Telepathy, Art of Movement, Force Empathy, Force Sight, Force Jump.
Advanced Powers: She has always possessed a strong Force Comprehension as well as a powerful force persuasion. From a very young age she was a powerful empath.
After her rise back to the light side of the force, her gift of Telepathy eventually grew stronger than it had been before. She can communicate mentally with almost anyone she sets her mind on, though the stronger the connection she has with a person the easier this becomes. She practices Alchaka religiously, and has developed a few new powers such as Psychometry, Jedi Hibernation, Animal Friendship, and plant surge.
LIGHTSABER/SWORD FORMS: She is knowledgeable in all seven forms of lightsaber combat, but she has mastered only one. The Seventh, most reputedly not well known, Form VII: Juyo/Vaapad, "Way of the Vornskr" or "Ferocity Form." -Juyo employs bold, direct movements, more open and kinetic than form V, but not so elaborate as the acrobatic form Ataru. Juyo requires greater energy and intensity out of the practitioner because his focus is wielded more broadly and draws upon a deeper well of emotion; while the outward bearing of a Form VII practitioner is one of calm, the inner pressure verges on explosive. It was also considered to be the most dangerous in regard to falling to the Dark Side, because it required a certain amount of enjoyment in the fight from the person experiencing it." (from Wookiepedia) This form most intrigued her, for as a Zeltron many of her strengths came from her emotions. It was also in pursuit of this form that made it easier for her former Master-turned-Sith-Lord to lead her to the dark side.
STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES:
Strengths: Irayla is very skilled in the art of Diplomacy, aka telling people what they want to hear. She has a gift for tongues, words and flattery. She is also very well versed in a plethora of traditional customs of many different species and planets.
Weaknesses: She, like most Zeltrons, lives life passionately, but this often makes her brash and irresponsible. She is very closely tied to her emotions and therefore is much more easily influenced by the dark side, though she fights very hard to refrain from those darker feelings and urges.
GEAR: Irayla doesn't carry much by the way of gear. She wears your standard array of Jedi robes, though her color verges more on midnight blues and purples than the standard beiges and browns of the classic Jedi. She wears a leather utility belt equip with all the necessities (first aid kit, datapad, grappling chain, etc.). She has two light sabers... Her main saber is a long saber of a cerulean blue color which she constructed several years after she returned from the Dark Side. Her second saber is a short saber, the color is an aquamarine, and she acquired it from an old friend as a welcome home gift. She also carries a blaster pistol and a Pazaak deck... For sentimental reasons.
PERSONALITY: Irayla is an extremely passionate individual, regardless of what she does; from Jedi training, to politics; from fighting in battle, to making love. She is very heavily guided by her emotions and feelings. She is wary to trust anyone new, but that will not stop her from trying to weed her way into their graces. She loves a challenge, and thrives on diversity and debate.
HISTORY:
Irayla was the bastard child of a slave in the Tatooine system. She was trained to be a smuggler and a rogue at a very young age and had pulled in a fair amount of bounty for her gang and was highly regarded amongst many of the more 'famous' thieves and mobs in the Mos Eisley system.
She was discovered as a Jedi by the Jedi Master Darius Maligant. He bartered her freedom with coin and threats and brought her with him to Coruscant, despite her loathing and disapproval of leaving her 'family'.
She was twelve years old and easily influenced by the ideas of the Jedi and the force. Being there were so few Jedi remaining after the carrying out of Order 66 and the Rebel Wars, Master Skywalker agreed that Irayla could be trained, approving Maligant as her new Master.
Her path to the dark side would be a long slow decline from there. Maligant saw to that; he'd had machinations from the start and it would not be hard to influence Irayla to join him, especially after he'd made her his lover. So tied to her passions and feelings was she that it made her fall to the dark side all too easy.
Maligant took on the title of Darth Malignant and through Irayla's and his own diplomatic and planetary ties, he had visions of trying to reinstate a new kind of Universal Tyranny; in the tradition of his greatest role Model, Emperor Palpatine, aka Darth Sidius. But in order to move on with his plan he would need to once again dwindle the numbers of the Jedi and those loyal to them.
When Luke had learned of Maligant's betrayal and the potential destruction he could render to the force and to the universe, in secret he sent away most of the young and infantile force sensitive children he had discovered through the years; to be raised with their families away from the influences of the Galactic Republic and this new dark threat.
It had taken Malignant a long many years to discover the location of this settlement but when he did he ordered his apprentice to find the settlement and kill all who dwelled there. When Irayla had misgivings and asked what the threat was, Malignant used his gift for words and created a passionate story about how Skywalker was growing his own personal Jedi army in hopes to try to take over the Republic.
When Irayla set course for the planet, her fury burned in her like a fire, but her instincts screamed at her to be wary of this said threat. When she arrived on the planet, her fury was almost immediately calmed by the sense of harmony and peace that echoed all around her. This was no army, this was a haven. Women and children living in harmony with nature and the force. She had never felt such a sense of calm in her life, and she finally realized what Malignant had been feeding her all these years was not love or passion, but simply cruelty and hate. She had never felt so heartbroken and betrayed in her life, for she really had thought that she was in love with him, and he with her.
When he began to attack the villagers, she intervened. The battle between them lasted nearly two straight days and left them both entirely broken. Malignant had inevitably come out the victor and left Irayla for dead. There were many villagers still alive, though in hiding, but his powers were far too spent, and his strength too far gone to even think of finishing what he'd started.
Amongst dreams, nightmares and visions, Irayla woke over six months later surrounded by the healing liquid of a Bacta Tank, back in the sanctuary of the New Jedi Temple. The villagers had managed to contact Luke during the battle, and after they had managed to revive her enough until Luke and company arrived.
Her body had been easy to mend, but it was her mind which had been the most difficult to bring back. Irayla's mind had been all but lost after her battle with Malignant. Luke had spent many days and weeks standing beside her tank, trying to call her soul back to the surface. Even after she woke for the first time it had taken another many years to reteach her all she had lost.
