Ekon

Ekon was a padawan for the New Jedi Order and served under her master, Grand Master Bela Khess.

History
Ekon was brought up in an orphanage on Coruscant and thus never learned who her parents well. She however took to this quite well and from a young age found herself organizing toys and such to the neglect of many of the other children at the orphanage despite the constant encouragement from the carers. She grew up rather lonely compared to the other children in the orphanage but she was fine with this.

Ekon spent much of her free time organizing various things she found throughout the orphanage which would take up much of her time and keep her distracted. She came to find organizing things to put her mind at peace and make all her cares float away. Once whilst sorting through “junk” she found an old rundown datapad. After charging it for a few hours she found that it worked fine and took it as her own.

It was at this point that Ekon started to become very inquisitive about anything and everything asking a many questions to the carers about what was outside the orphanage, who ran the orphanage, and really any question to which Ekon could put in her datapad. It did not take Ekon long to realize that if she did not keep her datapad organized it would be nearly impossible to navigate. She would thus spend a many nights pacing throughout the hallways organizing her datapad.

Eventually Ekon ran out of questions to ask, much to the appraisal of the staff, and so Ekon started writing down improvement ideas for not only things around the orphanage but also things she found in the junk piles of the orphanage. She found it fun to write down ideas but never seemed to find the time to implement them always finding a reason to be too busy to do so.

When she reached 12 years old a jedi recruiter came by the orphanage and took samples of the children’s blood. It was discovered that Ekon was force sensitive and that she would be taken on by the jedi academy. At first Ekon did not like the idea of leaving the orphanage but then she found out about the great archives the jedi keep and how there are some who are put in charge of these archives. Ekon was stunned by this, a whole library for her to sort and catalogue. The dreams of what she could do with it was endless and this Ekon was very excited about leaving the orphanage.

When she arrived at the academy she started asking questions immediately and writing down all the theory she could get her hands on. However when it came to actual practical sessions with either the force or saber training Ekon began to shy away. Her goals of becoming the head archivist meant she did not need to really know how to use force abilities and lightsabers and Ekon knew this. When away from her classes ekon spent most of her time at the archives reading the many different discoveries throughout the galaxy.

It was here that she started to get a new dream and that one was to make some discoveries for herself before becoming an archivist. She wanted to search the galaxy document the many great and wonderful things she had read about in much more detail then she had available. She began to plan her ideas of life from being a great explorer and researcher of a many things throughout the galaxy to her latter in life goal of becoming the head archivist. To achieve her goals Ekon planned to become better at her practical skills and eventually be appointed a master who could help show her the galaxy.

Her plan whilst good in theory began to fail flat when she continued to shy away from training excises that would improve herself. In force training she found it hard to sit and focus on one thing for so long or meditate. Often her mind would wander off and start thinking about the books she had read or her future. Her thoughts were chaotic at best. Another thing she liked doing was during meditation to make sure no one was looking and start browsering her datapad. Often her datapad would be confiscated by her teachers before lessons began but every time Ekon would walk out with her datapad without the teachers knowledge.

Her training in lightsabers and hand to hand combat was more productive however. Ekon would rather use her own method of fighting then the one taught to her, Shii-Cho. She would use force jump and a number of acrobatics in order to avoid the attacks of the opponent choosing only certain moments to strike with her hands or feet. Only when she knew she had the killing blow would she unsheathe her lightsaber and strike. Her teachers decided she had an aptitude for Ataru and was taught by a master in the form however whilst Ekon took to the training quite well she would still hold off from using her lightsaber unless she knew a blow would end the fight and thus focused most of her jumping and acrobatics to avoid the strikes of her opponent and stike with primarily her feet or hands. Her trainer would often object to her modified form stating if she did fail to avoid a strike it would end badly for her. Her training in this style has benefited her close combat quite a lot but she still has a lot to learn when it comes to the style.

Having managed to be successful at something practical in her trainings Ekon is confident that she will be able to impress a master enough so that they may take her on. When telling this to her Ataru trainer she received objection however, as he cited that she has not completed her training in the style. Ekon ignored this and hopes to impress a master enough enough to bypass this recommendation and finally leave the academy to see the galaxy at large for herself.

Personality
Ekon is a very inquisitive person always asking questions some would say to without end and constantly recording the answers to these question in her own personal datapad that she has with her at all times. Anything new she finds she records as well. She is a very organized person and in fact loves spending her spare time cataloguing all the information she has gathered on her datapad which helps her feel at peace.

Being a very fidgety person Ekon is unable to pay attention to one thing for to long and thus lecturing to her can often fall short of the desired outcome. Surprisingly though she can concentrate and pay attention to reading long texts and books so long as she is moving when she does so.

When in a conversation with someone she can easily be perceived as rude however Ekon does care about others but does so in her own way. After "listening" to someone's problems she will usually spend the next few days writing ideas for solutions however would never actually tell or show it to the person for fear of them not liking it.
