Unknown|Unknown


Name: Galvin
Homeworld: Dathomir
Nickname/Alias: None
Date of Birth: 47 ABY

Faction: New Jedi Order
Rank: Padawan

Species: Human
Height: 6’0”
Weight: 185 lbs.
Hair Color: Blonde
Skin Color: White

Appearance:

Galvins eyes are emerald green and his hair is a darker blonde that he keeps cut at shoulder length. He has a muscular build from years spent in the forests and later from his combat training. Galvin has broad shoulders and a muscular build that makes him seem more threatening than he actually is. His face could be considered handsome by most, with his features giving him a strong appearance.

He wears the robes of his order that mark him as a padawan and when able to constantly carried his light saber around when he’s allowed to. He tries to keep the padawan robes as clean as he can, feeling that any dust or dirt on them would reflect poorly on Galvin personally. He tends to carry himself upright at his full height, trying to look as if he deserves respect while at the same time striving to earn it from others.

Personality:

Galvin tries to portray himself as what he believes a Jedi should be, the epitome of all that is right in the galaxy. To this end he always holds himself up to not only the jedi code but a personal code of honor. He refuses to lie, cheat, or to hide from a confrontation if one should be in the works. He is quick to anger if someone is to accuse him of cowardice or cheating, something that his tutors have tried to work out of him with little success. His attitude is one of ‘see evil and destroy it, no matter the form or past actions of the one responsible.

Galvin grew up seeing the influence of the Force upon people, specifically what the dark side can do to via the night sisters. Their influence upon his home world and the people led Galvin to see what evil was, and to develop a hatred for evil. After his induction into the New Jedi Order the hatred for evil was spread to anything that he could consider evil, including what most might consider underhanded tactics such as assassination or in some cases even sneaking around. While Galvin has tried in the past to let go of his hatred for evil and what he considers dishonorable it has proved difficult given his early experience on his home planet.

Weaknesses and Strengths:

Weakness: Galvin is quick to anger when he is questioned, something that causes him to very quickly lose control of a situation and deteriorate sensitive situations. In his first few years it even led to fist fights between him and a few of the other initiates who had were with him at the temple. His anger also extends to areas of grey that others might see as acceptable. In addition to his anger Galvin also is very closed minded when it comes to dealing with certain situations, not willing to accept that there is a chance of compromising with someone who has done wrong.

Strength: Galvins determination to do good also grants him a deep compassion. He is often more than willing to help someone who is down on their luck or in dire need of help even if it means he is late or fails his own assignment. Of course his help is only coming if their circumstances were not brought on by themselves. In his training he has focused more upon the use of a light saber than using the force or diplomacy to solve situations. This has lead to his focus being more in light saber combat then anything else and makes him a touch better at the use of one than some of the other padawans he trains with.

History: (Four Paragraphs Minimum)

Born on Dathomir to a Nightsister woman, Galvin had seen cruelty from his earliest days and understood what it meant to live in fear. The earliest memory that he has is one of being forced to fight against a boy his own age, he can’t say the reason or even who won the fight. The memory is accompanied with a sense of wrongness and sorrow, as if the fight shouldn’t have happened in the first place. A memory that is closely related to that one is one with blood on his hands, how it got there Galvin can't say, and he doesn't like to dwell on the possibilities.

After about seven years in the culture of the Night Brothers Galvin had all that he could take of this, something about the way things were done didn't sit right with him and he resolved to get away one night. Galvin wasn't sure what he would do if he ever got out. The plan had nothing more than simply the desire to get away from the other night brothers, away from the brutal life. Not soon after he resolved to run away he was presented with a chance, seizing upon it Galvin ran as fast as he could for the nearest wilderness. The problem was with no plan and nothing to eat Galvin would have been looking at a death sentence if not for the training he’d received in the Nightbrothers camp, at least it was good for something after all.

After about three days in the wilderness Galvin came across the outskirts of a town, with nothing left to lose he tried to get some food from one of the storage units. Unfortunately what he’d been taught wasn’t good for being stealthy and he was quickly caught by the local guards, but not before breaking a finger or two. After being taken in by the guards Galvin was afraid that he would be sent back to his village, or put to death. He was surprised when he was offered food and water by the people he had been captured by. He was even more surprised when they spoke to him, at first only to answer questions but later in a more friendly tone. This experience was something entirely new to him and he’d expected to either be sent back to his home or kept as a prisoner until he was dead. Despite their kindness he was still afraid, and it was this fear that would be his saving grace.

While being watched over Galvin was visited by a Jedi, who said that he could sense that Galvin had what he called “special abilities” and said he would speak to the local authorities. Later that night the Jedi came back and told Galvin what he was planning on, offering Galvin a chance to come to a place where he would never have to worry about the Nightbrothers coming after him. He also told Galvin that it wouldn’t be an easy life, but that it would give him the chance to learn how to control his abilities and become a force for peace in the galaxy. Galvin was already scared that he would be found by his tribe and taken back or being sent away, and there was something that seemed trustworthy about the old man. He agreed to go back to train at the Jedi facility on Ossus.

Galvin has spent the last ten years training at the facilities on Ossus, working to make sure his skills are up to the level that are expected of a Jedi. He also focuses on making sure his actions send the right message to the younger members of the facility. His early experiences in his tribe have pushed him to become as good as he can. After learning the truth behind the dark and light side of the force he has tried desperately to let go of his hatred for evil and for his tribe, despite this he constantly finds himself thinking about how evil should be rooted out everywhere. In his early years he almost attacked fellow students who spoke about stealing or lying as necessary on occasion.
