Corr Felian

Corr is a long lived human who’s lived through the waning days of the Old Republic, the rise of the Empire, and even the beginnings of the rebellion. He does the right thing as dictated by his moral compass, regardless of what the laws or factions say. He was a controversial figure among the Jedi, as someone who disagreed with Jedi involvement in the Clone Wars. His apprentice Kira Tarn was eager to fight along side the Jedi in the clone wars and against Corr's advisement, she left to join the battlefront and was reported to have fallen during the catastrophic first conflict on Geonosis. While his pacifist ideology isolated him within the Order, it also attracted a small following of like-minded Jedi. He has valuable contacts and a wealth of favors he can call upon. However, given his views, he may also have enemies in both the Sith and the Empire, as well as mistrust among certain rebels.

## Biography

### Early Life

Born: 80 BBY, Location: Alderaan

Corr Felian was born on the peaceful, culture-rich world of Alderaan, alongside his twin sister Elara. He entered the world alongside his twin sister, Elara. The twins shared an extraordinary bond, noticeable even in their early childhood as an unspoken connection that seemed to transcend even the deep understanding typical of twins. In a society that prized art, academia, and diplomacy, Corr's parents were scholars, custodians of Alderaan's extensive libraries. It was not his insightful intellect but his intuitive peacemaking among his peers that brought him to the attention of the visiting Jedi delegation. Despite the Alderaanian preference for non-violence and Corr's own parents' hesitation, the Jedi foresaw that his capacity for compassionate mediation far exceeded the libraries of Alderaan. With his parents' consent, Corr joined the Jedi, moving from creating peace through knowledge to becoming a guardian of peace across the galaxy.

Corr possessed an extraordinarily high midichlorian count, even invoking theories of him potentially being the Chosen One. However, his destiny took a divergent path as he matured alongside the political upheavals of his era. Even at a young age, Joelee, witnessing the rampant corruption suffusing the Senate, poor representation of the outer rim planets' political views, and growing economic marginalization, his philosophical distance from the "dogmatic" Jedi Council broadened.

### Jedi Knight

Corr's tenure as a Jedi Knight was marked by both wisdom and strife. In his youth, he developed a close friendship with Qui Gon Jinn, and they often discussed prophecies and the importance of balance in the Force. A fervent proponent of Jedi neutrality, Corr's stance against militaristic involvement, particularly during the Stark Hyperspace Wars, sowed the seeds of contention within the Order. As others rallied to war, Corr sought solace in ancient Jedi scrolls and the silence of holocrons. His pursuits queried the very underpinnings of the Force, its guardians, and the sacrificial integrity of wisdom over warfare.

### Jedi Master

The summit of Corr's conventional Jedi career saw him reject an invitation to the High Jedi Council, only to embrace a seat on the Council of First Knowledge. His intimacy with esoteric artifacts and chronicles crafted an unusual persona—one both revered and feared. Wielding knowledge spanning forgotten eras, Corr became a beacon for those seeking enlightenment and a target for forces craving power. A pivotal dispute with Master Even Piell catalyzed Corr's departure—a harbinger of his transformative journey ahead.

### Lineage

In the shadows of Corr Felian's past, there exists a clandestine chapter, known only to a few. During his time as a Jedi, his close bond with his apprentice, Kira Tarn, extended beyond the realm of lightsabers and teachings. Unbeknownst to the Jedi Order, their connection deepened into a love that transcended the rigid boundaries set by the Code.

As the galaxy churned with turmoil, Kira Tarn gave birth to a son, born of both their clandestine affair and the chaotic times that surrounded them. This young scoundrel, named Talon Felian, inherited his father's fiery spirit but channeled it in a different direction. Growing up on the fringes of society, Talon's childhood was marked by the absence of his Jedi father and the whispers of his mother's fate on Geonosis.

Rebellious and independent, Talon carved his own path through the galaxy. Rejecting the structured life of the Jedi, he embraced the thrill of the underworld. A charming rogue and skilled thief, he navigated the criminal underbelly with the same agility his father once displayed with a lightsaber. Talon's upbringing instilled in him a disdain for authority, mirroring Corr's own dissent against the Jedi Council's dogma.

While Talon Felian operates in the shadows, his ties to the Force remain dormant, a testament to his father's sacrifice and Corr's decision to sever the Force from his lineage. Unaware of his true heritage, Talon maneuvers through the galaxy, leaving a trail of mischief and stolen riches in his wake.

### Severance and Exile

In an unprecedented act, Corr severed his connection to the Force to preserve his integrity—and paradoxically, his agency—amidst a galaxy teetering on the precipice of darkness. Declaring the Force a peril too paramount to wield, he underwent the ancient ritual of 'Sever Force,' rendering himself powerless in a quest to avoid the tragic fate he envisioned for the most potent of Jedi.

His self-imposed exile post-Severance was a period of introspection and identity reconstruction. Disassociated from the cosmic force that had once been his compass and companion, he ventured into the shadows of the galaxy—no longer as a Jedi, but as a sage unbound by doctrine or dichotomy.

### Present

Corr's current narrative is a mosaic of retrospection and resurgence. Contemplating the Force from a rare perspective—once immersed, now observing from beyond its reach—he seeks a renewed connection on different terms. No longer bound by the strictures of the Jedi Council nor blinded by its heritage, Corr's path is a crusade for redemption and a quest for a transcendent truth, possibly leading back to the Whills themselves.

Ideas of how he's introduced to the team:

1. **Seeker of Ancient Lore**: Corr could be on a journey tracking down ancient Jedi artifacts and Holocrons in order to prevent them from falling into the hands of the Empire. This quest may lead him to cross paths with the team, perhaps at a site of Jedi historical significance that the group is exploring for their own reasons.
2. **Savior in Hiding**: After self-severing from the Force, Corr might have been laying low on a remote planet the team visits. They could get themselves into trouble, and despite his reluctance to use the Force, Corr's skills in negotiation or strategy might still come into play, prompting him to assist the group.
3. **Mutual Contact**: The team could receive a mission from a shared contact that knew Corr from his past. This contact believes that Corr's knowledge is vital for the mission's success and sends them to find him. The reluctant master, realizing the potential good the mission could achieve, might join the team for this purpose.
4. **Unexpected Ally**: Corr might initially be perceived as an adversary due to a misunderstanding. For example, the team may be sent to investigate a rumor of a "dark side user" only to find Corr at the center, misunderstood because of his recent and mysterious actions. Once the confusion is cleared, the team discovers they have the same objectives and come together.
5. **Common Foe**: Having left the confines of a structured Jedi life, Corr now walks a loner’s path, which intersects with the team when they both fall afoul of the same Imperial Agent. This enemy of my enemy becomes my friend situation forces them to cooperate, and the relationship grows from this shared adversarial bond.
6. **Guiding Hand**: Corr may have become aware of the team through the Force before severing his connection, and he could feel compelled to steer them towards a great destiny he has foreseen. Thus, he might seek them out, offering guidance and cryptic wisdom, hoping to influence their journey indirectly.

The enduring essence of Corr resonates through his legacy—a testament to the seams of the galaxy he sought to mend and the wisdom he dispersed like stars strewn across the cosmos. Alderaan's tragic fate under the Death Star's super laser has been a recent and painful memory for Corr. With adversaries lurking and allies forged through a crucible of shared ideals, he navigates a delicate travail—a defiance of fate and a dance with destiny.

Elara's existence and fate could be woven into the campaign as a mysterious subplot, with clues planted for Corr to follow – leading him, and his companions, toward a reunion that could shake the very foundations of his beliefs or strengthen his resolve to fight against the Empire's tyranny.

Although it was thought Kira died on Geonosis, the truth was far more complex, and Kira's path took a dark turn. Her involvement would create an intricate interplay of past decisions, present conflicts, and the personal growth of both master and apprentice, with Corr facing his former Padawan, who harbors a deep-seated grudge fueled by years under the dark side's influence.
