A'sharad Hett (RP)

## A'sharad Hett

"*Ya know...I quite like sand*"
―A'sharad Hett to ARC Commander Hawkeye, while talking about the conditions on Tatooine

## Summary

A'Sharad Hett was a Tusken-raised male Jedi Knight of the Republic. He was born on the desert planet of Tatooine, the son of the famed Ex-Jedi Knight Sharad Hett and a Tusken-raised Human woman named K'Sheek. As a child, A'Sharad was raised in the ways of the Jedi and of the nomadic Sand People. At age 14, he joined the Jedi Order after the untimely death of his father at the hands of Aurra Sing. He spent the majority of his time there as Padawan to Jedi Knight Iri Camas.

Hett served as a jedi commander, and later a jedi general, throughout the course of the Clone wars, especially after his masters death on Sullust as well as the rediscovering of Tython. He was knighted shortly after this event, and took his own padawan in Etain Tur-Mukan. Eventually, he and another knight, Méra Dimitra, became romantically involved after Hett was assigned to watch her by the council and through the machinations of Marka Ragnos. This whirlwind romance ended after Méra killed Hett's mother, though the now sith did not know who she had killed.

After this incident, Hett threw himself into his work as a jedi, taking part in more battles and never giving himself a break. Hett was reprimanded for such behaviour, but this was quickly set aside so he could fight in the battle of Dromund Kaas. A'Sharad witnessed Mace Windu tap into the void, as well as his supposed death. This hit A'Sharad hard, but he supressed his emotions to console Ghos Gin, his friend and Mace's padawan.

Far later into the clone wars, Hett was eaten by Ectherid along with the planet of Salecumi and sent to the void. He was then rescued from this fate by Elizabeth Persche; landing in the universe of fracture and becoming fast friends with the daughter of Maul. Hett and Eliza fought against the empire, met cannibal clones in the UFK, broke a void produced pocket dimension and met Eliza's half brother Near Farr before finally arriving at the New Jedi order, growing very close to eliza throughout their adventures.

Hett joined the New Jedi order after Eliza split off to take down the shadow collective, and started preforming Operations with them. This includes strikes on the inquisitors, raids of imperial strongholds and the like. Hett also trained with Luke Skywalker, Grandmaster of the New Jedi Order, to better himself as a jedi.

## Biography

### Early Life

"*What do you mean they're gone? How can you lose a whole herd of bantha in 3 minutes!?!*"
―Sharad Hett to his son A'sharad, about the "accidental" disappearance of their villages Bantha
A'Sharad was very problematic before he began his Jedi training, not knowing where he should spend his energy. He mostly spent it on aggravating his father and being a nuisance to other Tuskens. He once accidently burnt several unoccupied tents down in a fit of rage. Once he began his Jedi training, however, he became increasingly focused on his studies and practice with the force. He found himself fascinated with its different capabilities. At age 11, he was already capable with a lightsaber and progressing quickly with his use of the force. Towards the end of his stay on Tatooine, his father became increasingly cautious. He sensed the child's obvious attachments and anger issues. His training became less frequent and he began to stagnate, which only served to frustrate him more.

When A'Sharad turned 13, he undertook the trials expected of any Tusken; to kill a krayt dragon completely alone. He survived for 2 days in the wild before finally finding and killing one of the creatures. He would go on to use the krayt dragon pearl from this animal to make his first lightsaber.

A'Sharad's training would be cut short when the assassin Aurra Sing murdered his father and the rest of their Tusken tribe. A'Sharad never learned why she did this, and it remained unknown to the Jedi Order. This left A'Sharad half trained, capable of fits of rage and alone, even with the presence of Ki Adi Mundi.

### Induction into the Jedi Order

Luckily for A'Sharad, Ki Adi Mundi had been sent by the Jedi High Council to ensure the safety of himself and his father. This allowed Sharad to ask for A'Sharad to be trained at the temple, should he die.

Once arriving at the temple, A'Sharad was reluctant to be assigned to a Jedi Knight or Master. He was eventually forced under the wing of Jedi Knight Iri Camas. The two would initially be very uneasy with each other; by the time of the battle of Geonosis, they had become inseparable.

A'Sharad felt isolated among other padawans, as they had been in youngling packs and all knew each other. This often lead to him not being included in their usual activities. Eventually he managed to befriend a pair of padawans by the names of Bardan Jusik and Ghos Gin. They quickly rose to become his best friends. The two padawans also had a younger padawan who followed them around named Méra Dimitra, but A'Sharad payed her little to no attention.

### The Clone Wars

#### Beginning

A'Sharad missed out on the battle of geonosis, instead being sent on a personal assignment to hone his skills while his master risked his life on Geonosis. A'Sharad was not at all happy about this but there was little he could do about it. After this assignment was over he was sent with Kamino along with Iri to inspect the special forces clones. This eventually led to Iri forcing A'Sharad to make psychological profiles on the highest preforming commando sqauds and Alpha ARCs.

#### The Battle of the Citadel

"*Don’t go off and get more kills than me.*"
―Commando Sev joking with A'sharad Hett during the battle of the Citadel
The battle of the Citadel was A'Sharad's very first taste of active combat, and the stress it brings. He was assigned to assist master Mace Windu and the commando Delta Sqaud in securing intel from the infamous prison while other groups helped. He preformd his tasks smoothly, taking down many droids and even playing a kill count game with the members of Delta. He extracted the intel from the CIS terminal while master windu went to assist in freeing Jedi Knight Goldblum. A'Sharad, who at the time overestimated his abilities greatly, accompanied the jedi master and got far too in over his head. He was inevitably overwhelmed and forced to flee, sadly leaving one of his closest allies alone. After this the disheartened tusken regrouped with delta sqaud and extracted successfullyy.

#### The Battle of Sullust

Hett, along with Iri Camas, was assigned to assist the SAA with their invasion of Sullust. Hett's task was to lead a group of clones to infiltrate the fortress on Sullust but ended up walking right into a trap, leading to him getting bailed out by a few other jedi and ARC Troopers. A frustrated A'Sharad insisted on proceeding with their initial plan, eventually working his way into the site. While he did this, Iri Camas faced off against Darth Jar Jar, a former representative for the planet naboo, and died to the sith's skills. The death of Iri sent shockwaves through their force bond, strong enough to almost render Hett unconscious. Iri's body was later retrieved by Mace Windu, and cremated by A'Sharad himself.

#### Path towards the Dark

After his master's death Hett regressed back to how he was during his early days at the temple, becoming aggressive, erratic and closed off. He succumbed to his base urges many times, often to the point that he became a danger towards those around him and himself. The only people capable of cheering him up during this time were Ghos Gin, Mace Windu and Stass Allie, all of whom he considered to be family.

#### Noble Team

A'Sharad was recruited to Noble team as it's fifth member, creatively nicknamed "Noble 5". Along with Huulik, who was the leader of the team, and the rest of Noble, Hett was instructed to await further orders.

#### The Rediscovery of Tython

After a month of sitting and awaiting for instructions, Noble team and Grandmaster Yoda set off in an attempt to reclaim the birthplace of the order. During this time Hett and Bardan Jusik trained together in various techniques, including Tutaminis, he was not very good at this initially but got better over time.

#### The Tython temple

Hett and the rest of Noble Team explored the various parts of the temple, With A'Sharad showing a special interest in the training room. The malfunctioning droid who handled the training rooms faculties set several of the temple's advanced dueling droids on him. After a lengthy fight, Hett destroyed the droids with minor injury. After their initial landing, Yoda requested that Hett and Bardan duel to showcase their skills. After a long, drawn out duel the unstable Hett convinced himself that Bardan had went easy on him. This sparked a rage in the young Tusken and caused him to lose control in front of the Grandmaster. They were stopped quickly, but only after Hett knocked over a statue and used the dark side to keep it up, with Bardan not assisting and further fueling his rage. He lost consciousness after this fight and the entire incident was erased from his memory. Hett was unsure how this happened, though he assumed it was a side effect of the planets massive force presence.

## Personality and Traits

Headstrong and determined, A'Sharad was daring. He was --generally speaking-- a pessimistic individual, especially for a Jedi. Usually he expressed this through comedy and sarcasm. Despite his views, A'Sharad cared much more for others than himself, often putting him in situations he was not prepared for or capable of dealing with.

## Powers and Abilities

A'Sharad was very much dependant on Jar'kai, having specific emphasis on the use of acrobatics and twirling, such in Form IV, along with the use of his force powers. His favoured technique at range was saber throw, only using it to disable foes. He had also been trained in to use Teras Kasi, being somewhat skilled.

A'Sharad was incredibly experienced in use of the power Pyrokenisis, being fascinated with it since he first learned of it at the Jedi Temple. He was also very experienced with Saber Throw and Force Valor. He had a troubling natural affinity for force rage, with a semi decent skill in force cloak.

A'Sharad knew many languages, including Tusken, Basic, Mandalorian, parts of Cheunh and sign language. He was experienced with both maintenance and creation of equipment, having created several unfamiliar kinds of lightsaber and the UMBRA armour.
