Qui-Gon Jinn (LadyVader)

A venerable if maverick Jedi Master, Qui-Gon Jinn was a student of the living Force. Qui-Gon lived for the moment, espousing a philosophy of "feel, don't think -- use your instincts."

## Section heading

Qui-Gon was born to Iskim Jinn and Aldin Jinn.

## Rescuing a slave

Before he took Obi-Wan Kenobi (LadyVader) for his Padawan, Qui-Gon met Kaida Piett on Tattooine (LadyVader).

## Going against the Code

The pair began a slow, cautious relationship which culminated in a surprise marriage. Their wedding bands were simple duranium washers, Kaida complained once that she was sorry they weren't real rings, but Qui-Gon cut her off gently. "That doesn't matter, Kaida Piett, you matter to me."

Qui-Gon mentioned to anyone who got curious that it was his good luck charm.

## Qui-Gon's greatest gift

Qui-Gon was ecstatic when Kaida told him she thought she could be with child, he hugged her gently

Don't force our child into anything when they turn eight. If he or she chooses to join the Jedi, I'll support their decision. But please, I'm begging you all, on my knees, for my sake and the sake of the Force, don't force them into it. It should be my child's decision, **not** anyone else's."- Qui-Gon in a letter to the Jedi Council (LadyVader)

His happiest day, he always thought, was the day Kaida laid a newborn baby boy in his arms. He wrote in his diary, *I never thought I could fall in love twice in my life. But I did.*

They'd both wanted a baby name meaning firm and resolute destroyer of evil. The little one's name was put down as Firmus Apollo Jinn.

The first scare the Jinns had was when baby Firmus, barely able to crawl, managed to go out the window after a baby bird and was on the window ledge five stories above the ground with the tiny bird cupped securely in his hand, Firmus made it to the neighbor's ledge and gently put the baby in the nest, backing away as he saw the mother bird. \*Baby safe now.\*

Qui-Gon ran next door, bolted through the house to the back window, gently opened the window and saw the nest. \*You take care of your chicks, I'm only here for mine.\* He gently but firmly took Firmus in his arms and quickly lifted him back inside, latching the window.

"I'm sorry, I don't know how he got out the window next door. . . Sorry about the intrusion"

"Master Jinn, you don't have anything to apologize for. I'm Garjai Hengar, this is my wife Kamriza and our daughters, Lacehaze and Elarae."

*I always knew being a parent would be hard, but the near-daily semi-heart-attacks are still new. . .*

## Finding Anakin

On Tatooine, Qui-Gon discovered a young slave boy named Anakin Skywalker who was strong in the Force. Sensing the boy's potential, Qui-Gon liberated Anakin from slavery. The Jedi Master presented Anakin to the Jedi Council, but they deemed the boy too old to begin training and dangerously full of fear and anger.

They refused to allow Qui-Gon to train Anakin, but rescinded their decision to fulfill Qui-Gon's dying wish.

Qui-Gon watched helplessly as his son reacted to his joining the Force- not with rage and an urge for revenge, but a crushing depression and nihilism. Firmus had felt his death at the blade of Darth Maul as though he'd been stabbed himself. For the next two weeks Firmus only ate once and he practically had to have food pushed down him then.

Firmus and Kaida were unprepared for the sudden attack on their home that put them both in slavery

Qui-Gon watched over his son, both Qui-Gon and Kaida were as shocked as Avaria when Firmus mentioned the Selection.

"a son of dathomir took my life, a daughter of dathomir is my son's life

I never thought he'd find the one for him but I hoped- the Force called her to the Executor that day, Firmus helped her escape"

Qui-Gon was honored when Firmus named his second child, his son
