Alistair J. Striker

Early Life....
Alistair James Striker was born on Coruscant in 4616 and was strong with the Force from a young age. His power was sensed by the Jedi Order, and the Sith Empire. Striker's mother and father both were smugglers. Months after he was born, a group of Jedi approached them and told them to hide Alistair from the Sith Empire, or they could let the Order teach the child the ways of the Force, and keep him safe from the Empire. His mother planned to turn him over to the Order to train him, but his father had other plans. Striker's father planned on sending him to live with his grandparents on Tatooine, to avoid the Jedi and Sith. However, before he could do so, Alistair's parents were found by the Sith, and killed. Before the Sith could leave the planet with the young Alistair, they Jedi caught them, killed them, and took back the child. The Jedi gave his parents a proper funeral, and treated the Alistair like a son.

Jedi Order....
"'I've never sensed so much fear, or confusion in citizens before..... I have never seen so many Jedi seem to lose hope before..... I have never seen so many ships take off and jump to hyperspace so fast before..... And I have never seen an entire Temple, and planet fall so fast before.... This is truly the Fall of the Republic.....' "- Jedi Master Sortoda Spiralburn to Master of the Order Alistair                Striker on the Fall of the Republic.

Youngling:
Striker had a very difficult time as a Youngling. He would constantly defy his instructor and question everything. He would manage to find different ways of completing simple tasks that he was asked to preform, much to his instructors instructions. He was often told by the other Younglings that he wouldn't be picked by a Jedi Master, and that he wouldn't be a "true" Jedi. Striker never let that be his downfall however. Some even say that he was so powerful that when he used a Jedi Mind Trick, he could use it on Jedi and Sith as well as weak minded ones, however this was never proven.

Kybur Crystal Hunt:
Striker was the first of his group of Younglings to run into the Kybur Crystal Cave. However, he was one of the last to make it out of the cave. Striker went in with his mind set on finding only one crystal, but had to face his biggest fear to do so. The Force created an illusion of him falling to the Dark Side of the Force, and destroying everything that he would've become had he stayed on the Light Side. Striker, knowing that this wouldn't happen, realized that this was fake and conquered his fear, and continued on his quest for his crystal. He ran through the cave for what felt for hours, only to then stop and listen to the Force, and let it guide him. Eventually he found his first crystal, but believed that that's all he was searching for. Striker ran all the way back to the entrance of the cave only to hear the Force as he was leaving, calling him to go back and find the second crystal. After he found the crystal, he hurried back to the entrance, barely making it out of the cave before it closed.

The Lightsaber:
Striker had a more difficult time putting his lightsaber together. While the other Younglings, now Padawans at that time, finished relatively quickly. He believed that his lightsaber was meant to be two separate ones, when in reality the Force was calling to him to make one double bladed saber. Striker spent days and nights meditating and trying to make his lightsaber, only to fail each time. Eventually, with the help of Padawan learner Sortoda Spiralburn, who he called Spiny, because she would spin when she was happy, Striker was able to fully hear the Force and craft his lightsaber the way it was intended to be crafted. A double bladed blue and green bladed lightsaber. Each side of the saber was different from the other. One side was metal with small parts of rubber, the other metal with brown leather as a grip. The ignition switch was the same on both, but the tops of the hilts were different from each other.

Padawan:
When Striker became a Padawan, even before a Jedi Master picked him to be his apprentice, he had already formed a small group of Jedi that would follow him and back him up when he needed it. The group was Striker, a Padawan who eventually liked to be called Killorian, and the Padawan who helped Striker construct his lightsaber, Spiralburn. The three would do almost everything together, especially get into trouble. The three always would get into trouble and were soon known as the Jedi Blazers.

When it came to getting a Master, Striker was last to be picked. However, his master was a very powerful Jedi who sensed much potential in Striker, even with his large appetite for getting into trouble. Striker was eight when he became a Padawan for the most powerful Jedi in the order, the Master of the Order himself, Tebbo Nost. He always wondered why he picked Striker over all the other Youngling, but he didn't ask.

Around when he was ten, he and his master were on a mission searching for a ship that they encountered once before that single-handedly took out five Jedi War Cruisers and six Republic Cruisers. Striker kept asking why they had to look for it, and why someone else couldn't. Nost simply looked at him and laughed whenever he asked. After a few weeks of searching, Striker asked if they ever would find the ship. Nost looked down at him and simply told him to close his eyes and concentrate on the Force, to let it be the guide to the ship. They eventually found out that it wasn't a massive ship that took out the cruisers, but a small one man fighter. Nost and Striker tracked the ship down to Nar Shaddaa, and destroyed the ship, taking the pilot back to Coruscant for trial.

Trials of Knighthood:
When he was twelve years old, he began his Trials of Knighthood. Because of his young age The Jedi High Council took several votes to make sure that he was ready to for the trials.

Trial of Flesh:
Rather than having to complete the normal requirements for the Trial of Flesh, when Striker was on a Padawan mission with Killorian and newly appointed Jedi Knight Spiralburn, Striker was jumping from one rooftop to the other, when he tripped on a rock on the ledge of the building as a sniper shot at him, hitting him in the eye causing him to lose it instantly, and pass the Trial of Flesh. Killorian and Spiralburn told the other Padawans and Jedi Knights that Striker tripped on his feet and lost the eye on a rock.

Jedi Knight:
After Striker became a Jedi Knight, along side Killorian, they both encountered a Jedi Knight that went by the name of Zekk Raeth.

Jedi Master:
Striker never really was a Jedi Master for long, he also was very young when he became a Jedi Master. He was around eighteen when he became a Jedi Master. At this time he was also spending more time with Master Spiralburn. The two would spend their time together either practicing new lightsaber forms, or exploring the galaxy. Striker knew that since they were both now Jedi Masters, that they could get married if the Master of the Order approved of the relationship. Striker and Spiralburn ended up getting the approval, and got married a week after they got it. This angered her and Strikers friend, Killorian, because he was in love with her for the longest time, yet she picked Striker.

The Apprentice:
The Council still didn't appoint Striker an apprentice until he was nineteen. Striker never stated if he wanted a Padawan or not, the Council just assumed that he did. The Padawan appointed to him, Michael Cosmos, was the Padawan of fallen Jedi Master Jeers Sunspeeder. Striker could sense that Cosmos had a lot of potential, and was strong with the Force. Striker was there when Cosmos told the Council what happened and how his master died, many of the other Council members didn't believed that Cosmos had the ability to stop a blaster bolt with the Force at his age, however, Striker had the ability to use the Force to transport his mind to any point in time, and anywhere. He used the ability to see if Cosmos was telling the truth about what happened, and saw that he was.

Family:
Striker and Spiralburn ended up having a son together, who they named after the Chosen One, Anakin. Some of the Jedi questioned why they would name their son that, but others understood. Striker took a few months off to stay with his son. It took him days to convince Master Nost that he would be coming back, but Striker sensed that he knew he would and he was making him beg for it. Striker ended up taking a year off and returned when he was nineteen. A year later, when he was twenty, he sensed a darkness growing in the galaxy. As soon as he sensed that he told his wife that they need to hide Anakin in a safe location. They ended up giving their son to Striker's Sister-In-Law. His only request was that they teach him how to use the Force properly, and make sure nothing happens to him.

Return to the Order:
Upon his return to the Temple, Nost told Striker that to find the source of the darkness he would have to use the Force as his guide. Striker concentrated for a year, meditating for days, or even weeks at times, until he found its origin. He and Nost both went to the location of darkness within the next week. They found what looked to be two or three Sith, but in turn was fifty. Nost looked at Striker and told him to go back to the Temple and warn them about the Sith's return. Before Striker did so, he detached half of his double bladed blue lightsaber, and gave it to his master. Striker ran to their ship and hesitated to take off. Just as he was about to run back and help his master, he collapsed to the ground as he felt his master's spirit become one with the Force.

Master of the Order:
When Striker sensed Master Nost die, he quickly stood up and took off in their ship and flew to Coruscant and told the Council what happened. He knew they could sense the Master Nost's death, every Jedi did, he just wanted them to know how bravely he held off the Sith to defend what he believed in. The Council had immediate meditation session, and let the Force guide them to pick the replacement Master of the Order. Through the Force, they picked Striker, making him the youngest Master of the Order in Jedi history at twenty-one. They asked him instantly what they should do, and he told them to warn the Senate about an attack from the Sith, and to evacuate the rest of the Jedi to Tython and await further orders. As soon as they told the Senate about the attack, the Jedi War Cruisers all left Coruscant. Jedi Master Sortoda Spiralburn, who died shortly after, stated:

"'I've never sensed so much fear, or confusion in citizens before..... I have never seen so many Jedi seem to lose hope before..... I have never seen so many ships take off and jump to hyperspace so fast before..... And I have never seen an entire Temple, and planet fall so fast before.... This is the truly the Fall of the Republic.....'"

Tython:
The Jedi went to Tython and awaited Striker's next orders. The Council held a session and conference in a few Senators on Coruscant. It was then that the Jedi learned that the Sith Empire hadn't invaded just yet, and a few Council members begged the Master of the Order to have them go back to the Temple. Striker was reluctant at first, but realized that he left something very important to the Jedi back at the Temple. The Holocrons. He ordered around 100 Master Jedi to go back and get them, and made sure that they knew the risks they were taking. They were lucky and made it there and back with all the Holocrons.

Days passed and the Jedi wanted Striker to change his mind, he occasionally sent a few Master Jedi to Coruscant to see if the Sith Empire had attacked and to keep peace on the planet as long as they could. In 4637 ABY the Jedi Council contacted the Senate and informed them that they we're planning on going back to their Temple. Before they could end the transmission though, Striker sensed a great disturbance in the Force, and collapsed to the ground instantly. As soon as he recovered, he turned and said:

"'Senators.... Leave and come to Tython, or any planet, but just leave Coruscant at once..... I sense the Sith are going to invade within a matter of days or even hours..... Which ever planet you go to, I will personally have groups of Jedi go there with you to make sure that you're protected..... May the Force be with you.....'"

As soon as he warned the Senate, they all left and met with the Jedi on Tython. Shortly after, they heard the reports that Coruscant was under attack, and that the Jedi Temple and Senate Buildings were under attack.

Coruscant Final Stand:
A fellow Jedi and friend of Striker's, Killorian, suggested that they go back and defend the Temple as well as they could. Striker hesitated at first, but then agreed. Killorian gathered a group of fifty Jedi to go on this mission with them, and they were off. When they arrived to Coruscant, the great city planet was in flames. Striker and the group made it to the Temple to find the Sith had overrun it. They noticed a group of two hundred and fifty Jedi fighting off the Sith and they landed close to them. The Jedi already on the ground gained more morale when they saw the new Master of the Order leading a small counter attack on the Sith. Each of the Jedi in the new group took on groups of two or three Sith Lords at once. Striker and Killorian took on a group of five Sith Lords each. When Striker got punched in the face and fell to the ground, Killorian came out of nowhere and killed the Sith Lord that was going to kill him. Striker stood and thanked Killorian for saving him. At that moment Killorian betrayed his fellow friend and stunned him with his lightsaber's blaster attachment. Rather then killing him, Killorian punched him in the face and fled with a eighty-seven Jedi who fell to the Dark Side with him.

The Return to Tython:
Striker left Coruscant instantly with the remaining twenty-nine Jedi and retrieved Master Nost's body, and brought it back to Tython where the rest of the Jedi and Senators were. The Jedi and Senators had a grand funeral for the Master Nost, and after it, Striker ordered that they all go into hiding until they could defeat the Sith Empire. Days went by and soon, Striker was on Tython alone with Master Spiralburn. Before Striker and Spiralburn left the planet to go into hiding, Spiralburn took her husband aside and told him:

"'Governments rise and fall...... Temples are build and destroyed...... Life is made and destroyed...... The only thing that doesn't change is the Force...... It always tries to guide us to the Light...... There is no emotion, there is peace. There is no ignorance, there is knowledge. There is no passion, there is serenity. There is no chaos, there is harmony. There is no death, there is the Force....... The Force will be with you my love..... Always.....'"

Spiralburn became one with the Force right after, leaving Striker alone on Tython. After he departed the planet, he wasn't heard from in a long time.

Self Exile....
After Striker gave the word for all Jedi to go into hiding, no one has seen him, and few have heard from him. Not even the Jedi Council knows his current whereabouts. He will occasionally hold a session with them, but he will talk to them through two holograms. He gave three Jedi Masters a part of his coordinates, only to be used if absolutely necessary. Some say that he stayed on Coruscant and lives in the ruins of the Jedi Temple. Others say he went Naboo to live with his son. Some Jedi believe him to be dead, and say that they need a new Master of the Order.
