Name: Novao
Universe from: Star Wars
Gender: Female
Age: 26
Personality:
Even as a young apprentice, Novao believed wholeheartedly in the power of redemption. She was not one to hold a grudge and was willing to forgive enemies and help them onto the path of the light. Ranna Tao'Ven was one such example; when it was revealed that Tao'Ven had betrayed the her Master to Bengel Morr, the Jedi realized that she had done so to protect her people, but she was unwilling to allow her villagers to kill the Padawan after the young Jedi had aided them. When Tao'Ven asked for forgiveness, Novao readily granted it and urged the matriarch to dedicate herself to making things right.
She made frequent use of meditation to center one's emotions and heal, and rarely succumbed to anger or fear. The young Jedi's belief in the redemptive powers of the light side gained powerful allies in Praven and Bengel Morr, and that faith helped Kira Carsen break free of the influence of the Sith Emperor himself. Even the Sith Emperor was not above redemption in Novao's eyes, despite how insistently Lord Scourge disagreed, and it was not until the battle with the Emperor himself that Novao realized the Sith ruler would never allow himself to be redeemed. The promise of power held no attraction for the young Knight even as a Padawan, and she refused offer after offer from various Sith who tried to lure the Jedi over to the dark side.
While Novao did not enjoy taking lives, the Jedi understood when it was necessary in order to save the lives of innocents. True to the Order's tenet of humility, the young Knight disliked praise and medals, believing that it was a Jedi's duty to serve the Republic regardless of the cost or rewards. The devastation of Uphrades truly shocked her, and the Jedi became determined to ensure that Darth Angral did not take another life from that point forward. The Knight respected honor and loyalty and was able to use those qualities in Praven and Watcher One to convince the Sith and Imperial that they were not truly enemies. However, her devotion to the Jedi Code caused the Jedi to occasionally clash with the womanizing Archiban Kimble and left the Knight at odds with Scourge. Kimble's liking of wealth, fame, and women ran against the Code's tenets of humility and emotional peace, while the former Emperor's Wrath was openly disdainful of the Order's creed and traditions.

Powers/weapons:
Even for a Jedi Knight of the time, Novao was remarkably skilled in lightsaber combat. As a Jedi Initiate, she was acknowledged as exceptional in battle, and the amount of praise given by the Knight's early teachers convinced Master Derrin Weller to send the Padawan into combat against the Flesh Raiders immediately upon arrival, despite her status as a mere apprentice. Weller's trust was proved valid when Novao was able to defeat the lightsaber-wielding and more experienced Dark Jedi Callef armed with only a vibrosword. During Novao's time as Orgus Din's apprentice, Din came to trust his Padawan deeply and was able to send her on missions against great numbers of Flesh Raiders with little or no backup and be confident of success. Din considered his Padawan's bravest moments on Tython to be during the conflict with the Flesh Raiders, when she and Teeseven fought their way through an area controlled by an army of Flesh Raiders, and when the Padawan successfully defeated the far more experienced Bengel Morr with only a training lightsaber.
Novao’s last action as a Jedi Padawan was to construct a lightsaber, the crystal of which was blue in color which she kept through her journey. After being promoted to Jedi Knight, she traveled to Carrick Station, where the young Jedi chose the path of a Jedi Guardian. While her main expertise laid in the use of a lightsaber, she was also proficient in the use of the Force in combat. Novao made frequent use of Force techniques to augment her physical abilities, such as leaping great distances and moving with Force-enhanced speed. Telekinesis was another power that came naturally to the Knight, as well as the ability to guide a thrown lightsaber to the intended target across a battlefield. She was also skilled with Force stun and Force Stasis (Force stun does not work on droids, Force stasis has some effect on droids but is less effective than normal).
Novao knows Form I to Form VI, but mainly uses Form IV, Ataru and Form V Shien/Djem So.
She was well-versed in many galactic languages beyond Basic. Having communicated with individuals from a wide array of species, the Knight was fluent in Durese, Rodese, Houkese, Binary, Huttese, Jawaese, Nautila, and Twi'leki, as well the languages of the Selkath and many others. Novao underwent technical training as a Jedi beyond that of an average individual.

Backstory/Bio:
Novao was a powerful Jedi Knight and later Jedi Master who battled the resurgent Sith Empire during the Cold War and subsequent Galactic War, serving as the Battlemaster of the Jedi Order. Born before the end of the Great Galactic War between the Galactic Republic and the Sith Empire, she trained under several Masters across the galaxy during the following Cold War until 3643 BBY, when the Jedi was sent to the Jedi Order's homeworld of Tython. There, Novao was taken on as a Padawan by Orgus Din during the conflict with the native Flesh Raiders and worked to foil the Dark Jedi Bengel Morr's plans to destroy the Jedi Order, during which the apprentice gained a loyal companion in the astromech droid T7-O1, or Teeseven. As a newly elevated Jedi Knight, Din's former apprentice foiled a plot by the Sith Lord Tarnis to use the Planet Prison superweapon against the Republic capital planet of Coruscant. As Novao took on the young Jedi Kira Carsen as a Padawan, the Jedi was also recruited into the Republic Navy's elite Coruscant Aegis squadron, in which the Knight piloted a Defender-class light corvette under the call sign "Shield."
Tarnis's death at the hands of the young Knight caused the Sith Lord's father, Darth Angral, to declare war against the Jedi Order and the Republic, which forced her and her crew to travel the galaxy in order to stop the Sith's apprentices from unleashing stolen Republic superweapons. The trio halted the efforts of Imperial Intelligence to capture the Republic scientist Doctor Nasan Godera on the planet Taris, and worked with the Republic Strategic Information Service, the Republic's own intelligence agency, to destroy the Power Guard Project and defeat Angral's apprentice Lord Sadic on the moon Nar Shaddaa. The Knight and crew also hunted down and destroyed the Shock Drum weapon on the planet Tatooine, where they also convinced Angral's apprentice Praven to become a Jedi and rescued Carsen's former Master Bela Kiwiiks. The Knight's mission to Alderaan saw the destruction of the Death Mark laser and the death of Angral's apprentice Nefarid, but Angral killed Master Din and tested his new Desolator weapon on the agriworld Uphrades with horrific results. However, Novao foiled Angral's attempts to use the Desolator against Tython and defeated the Sith Lord in battle, and as a result, Grand Master Satele Shan granted her the ceremonial title of "Hero of Tython."
Novao soon joined a strike team led by Jedi Master Tol Braga whose purpose was to capture the Sith Emperor himself. While the Jedi recovered a prototype cloaking device on the war-torn planet Balmorra, Novao gained a new ally in the combat medic known as Doc, and rescued Braga's Padawan Sajar from Imperials and the threat of the dark side on Quesh. The final preparation for the capture of the Emperor was a mission to the ice planet of Hoth, where she worked with Sergeant Fideltin Rusk of the 301st Infantry to recover the plans for the Emperor's Fortress, after which Rusk joined the Jedi's crew. However, when she joined the rest of the strike team in a confrontation the Emperor, the Sith ruler easily defeated the Jedi and turned the entire strike team to the dark side. After months of training as a Sith under Overseer Chaskar, Novao was freed by the ghost of Master Din and escaped from the space station with the unlikely help of the Emperor's Wrath Scourge, the Emperor's personal executioner.
Scourge revealed to the Jedi High Council that the Emperor intended to consume all life in the galaxy with a dark ritual, and the Sith Lord joined the Novao's crew as the group traveled to Belsavis in order to prevent the Imperial officer Krannus from destroying the planet and starting the Emperor's ritual. The Knight then fought and redeemed fellow strike team member Leeha Narezz before traveling to the planet Voss, where Novao worked to stop the Sith Lord Fulminiss from unleashing a plague of madness. After defeating yet another fallen strike team member, Warren Sedoru, the Hero of Tython assumed command of all Jedi on the embattled planet of Corellia, and led the Jedi forces against a corrupted Tol Braga's attempts to start the Emperor's ritual. In the Emperor's moment of weakness, Novao and T7-O1 confronted their enemy in the Dark Temple on the Imperial capital of Dromund Kaas while a Republic invasion fleet assaulted the world. Despite the Emperor's immense power, the Knight apparently struck down the Sith ruler, for which she was awarded the Cross of Glory and the rank of Jedi Master. Later in the war, Novao played a role in attempting to prevent the Emperor's return at the hands of the mad Jedi Revan, and was elevated to the rank of Battlemaster as a result.
