#### Birth

Anakin Skywalker II was born to Luke Skywalker & Mara Jade-Skywalker on the world of Hosnian Prime in 10 ABY while his father and mother were exploring the world in order to find the old Jedi Order texts. However, upon the discovery of her pregnancy, Mara Jade was greatly worried for her unborn baby, believing that the growing power in the dark side and the sith could hurt or kill the child. But Luke Skywalker managed to calm her down and assuage her fears, and the two agreed to keep the child's existence a secret. His father Luke wanted to originally name him after Ben Kenobi but after his Aunt Leia Organa-Solo and his Uncle Han Solo had named their son after Ben causing his mother Mara to name Anakin after Darth Vader's real name to pay homage to Luke's Father.

#### Early Life

When Anakin was a child he had recurring dreams of his grandfather Darth Vader. Because Anakin would not confide in Luke, he sent Mara to talk to him. Anakin then asked his mother what happened Luke's mechanical hand In order to get rid of Anakin's nightmares of Darth Vader and explain the story of Luke's mechanical hand, Mara told Anakin about their adventures during the Galactic Civil War. However, instead of putting Luke in the story she used Luke's hand. When Mara finished the story Anakin claimed that he was going to be Luke's hand one day and then went to sleep pitting his hands against his feet (This is still one of his fondest memories of his family).

### Joining the Jedi Order (Teenage Years)

When Anakin turned the age of twelve he was inducted into the Jedi Order and along with the first generation after the re-birth of the Order was under the training of Luke Skywalker and Mara Jade-Skywalker. Even though the training was more flexible with the age of initiates. They usually traveled to a Jedi academy's like the one on Tython or the one on Yavin-4 to learn combat and Force techniques.

### The hunt for his lightsaber

When the correct age and after a few years of training Anakin Skywalker and the rest of his peers would've been taken to the planet of Dantooine where they participated in a ritual titled "The Gathering". The Gathering began with a group of Jedi Initiates being transported to one of the few worlds where lightsaber cyrstals could gathered which was Dantooine. Once on Dantooine, the Jedi traveled together to the entrance of the ancient Jedi Temple located at the mouth of the Crystal Caves. At the entrance to the Temple, the group of young Jedi would endure their first test of skill. Their guide would direct the group to focus their concentration on the Force, that only their combined efforts would be able to open the sealed entrance to the Temple.

Once inside, the group was provided with guidance by an experienced Jedi Master. Following this, the group of younglings/intiates were required to descend into the catacombs of the Crystal Caves in order to search out the lightsaber crystal which would become theirs. Although the rest of his group had one of the easiest times finding their crystals Anakin had a tougher time as he saw his past (his father and grandfather's battles with friends/enemies (Darth Sidious and Count Dooku)) this terrified the boy yet he was somehow able to find the courage to overcome the terror in not wanting to become his past and would then find his crystal before returning to the others.

#### Building his Lightsaber

Nearly every lightsaber hilt was unique in its construction, born of the Force-user who created it and using whatever materials were at hand. While the individual components of a lightsaber were relatively common and could be mass-produced, aligning them and the crystals required a supernaturally-steady hand guided by the Force. Anakin took about two months to build his version of the perfect lightsaber (single bladed) where he would then activate it seeing his deep blue lightsaber blade.

#### Lightsaber Training

Due to the destruction of much of the knowledge and the purge of many masters, lightsaber combat became simplified and many Force techniques were lost. but this did not stop Anakin from persisting through the lost texts and also did not stop him from coming up with his own technique which was also similar to his fathers, but he added his own style to this by adding a pistol to add to the range at which he could combat.

### Becoming a Young Adult

#### Knighting Ceremony

At each formal ceremony, the Grand Master (Luke Skywalker) recited the same ancient words when knighting each Padawan. The formal opening of the ceremony welcomed the participating Masters, and focused their minds on why they were there.

*"We are all Jedi. The Force speaks through us. Through our actions, the Force proclaims itself and what is real. Today we are here to acknowledge what the Force has proclaimed."*

With that said, Luke would call the Padawan by name and bring their lightsaber down above each of the kneeling student's shoulders.

*"By the right of the Council, by the will of the Force, I dub thee Jedi, Knight of the Republic."*
With the ceremony complete, the Knight would take up their lightsaber and exit the chamber in silence, signaling the end of the ritual.
## Personality

Like his namesake, Anakin was prodigiously talented in the Force, a gifted pilot, and a skilled mechanic. As a young boy, Skywalker was a very affable, social child, often teasing his cousins and other relatives. However, as he grew older and served in the Jedi Order and got his training he became much more mature, to the point that his parents were surprised at how world-weary he had become and how much he acted like a full-grown adult. Skywalker was also a very curious and observant person and vowed to question everything he believed in, even the Force itself, before putting trust in any faith. For the pragmatic Anakin, using the Force was "like breathing for him." Consequently, he came to view the Force as a mere tool, a weapon to wield with responsibility.

## Powers and Abilities

### Force Powers

**Mind Trick-** The concept of Force persuasion was the use of the Force to exert influence. Some species with highly organized mental facilities were known to be inherently resistant to its effects, requiring more skill, among them Hutts, Toydarians, Yinchorri, Kloodavians, Dashade, Falleen, as well as Geonosians.

**Force Stun-** Force Stun was a Force power that could temporarily deaden the senses and perceptions of a targeted enemy, preventing most movements.

**Force Jump-** Using the Force to enhance one's jumping ability was one of the most commonly used Force powers by Force-users throughout history. The height to which a user could jump varied depending on skill level and physique; however, most Jedi Masters could easily jump several times their own height. Jedi Knights were known to have been able to jump up to eight times higher than a normal jump.

**Move Object-** The basic use of telekinesis that involved stretching out one's feelings and will through the Force to take physical hold of a targeted object or objects, exerting one's will on it so that it performed as the user wished.

**Force Pull-** A telekinetic ability using the Force that could cause a material body to draw close to the user. The greater the user's aptitude with this, the heavier the object that could be pulled or the more wide arc or radius of the Force "wave".

**Force Push-** The most basic applications of Force Push utilized telekinetically-derived force to push objects away from the user. It could be used to varying degrees, from simply nudging or softly moving targets away from the user, to shoving and staggering them, to knocking them backwards or to the ground, to sending them flying through the air.
