Cha Vess

**Cha Vess** was a Male Kel Dor Jedi serving as a member of the Jedi Order during the last years of the Galactic Republic.

## Biography

### Early Life

Native to the planet Dorin, homeworld of the Kel Dor species, Vess was accustomed to breathing in an atmosphere containing little oxygen, forcing him to wear an antiox breath mask when abroad. Born into a low class Kel Dorian family (with no history of force sensitivity in his family), Cha's family was frightened when he first showed his force sensitivity. They resorted to call upon the Baran Do for advice, and it was decided he would become a Jedi. Cha was then given to the Jedi order for training.

### Youngling

Cha Vess was always asking questions during his time as a youngling, which caused him to get in to some trouble. He was fascinated with Jedi teachings, history, and other Jedi teachings.

### Padawan

As Cha Vess matured, he became more and more attuned in the force. His force abilities became much stronger, as well as his intellect. He learned to wield a light-saber, but was an average fighter, as he chose to focus more on his mind and studies. Vess believed that it was more important to have a stronger mind than a stronger weapon.

### Beast Rider Encounter

When the troopers returned from a mission on a sparsely populated planet, Dromon, the Jedi took Beast Master Thoninto custody. Knight Nicholas had the padawans talk to him and help decide what to do with him. The conversations started off civil. The padawans accepted his different point of views and realized that the Jedi Order had flaws. Knight Drogon argued that the Beast Master has to be sith because there is no middle ground when it comes to the force, just dark and light. Cha openly disagreed with Drogon on this, saying "Jedi do not deal in absolutes, Drogon". The conversation turned more and more hostile. The padawans were intrigued, but the knights did not want them to be influenced by the Beast Master. The knights sent the padawans out for a surprise "lesson" taught by Knight Foxer. When they were dismissed, the padawans eavesdropped on the conversation that primarily Drogon, Nicholas, and Foxer were having with Thon. When the knights first accused Thon of being a sith, Cha, along with Elysar, began recording with their holo-recorders. They planned to give the evidence to a Jedi Master or Grandmaster when one arrived.

Eventually, Knight Sure came to the Jedi Jail and cooled things down. Cha was disappointed when Sure told the padawans to leave and that Drogon understood his mistakes. Cha was very disappointed in Nicholas and Drogon, and made him want to seek out more points of view in the galaxy. They finally released Thon, and he was allowed to roam the temple within some boundries. Cha constantly started conversations with him. He learned that Jedi are not perfect, and have committed some horrible atrocities in the past. Cha committed himself to be a better Jedi than those who misconstrued the Jedi code into tragic events.

Thon was invited to a mission on Zion. Cha spent a lot of time with him, and learned the basic steps of calming down beasts and establishing a force bond. Murf was able to calm down a hostile creature thanks to Thon's teaching.

### Adventure on Dromon

After the mission on Zion, Murf, along with his new friend Elysar, both accepted an invite to join Beast Master Thon on Dromon. They went into the jungles of dromon and plan to return after a week or two. He learned much of the way the force worked in nature, and even how to utilize it. Elysar and him both speant a great deal of time meditating and interacting with the species of wildlife on the planet using the force. Cha even managed to tame a Dromoni Nexu during the final days of the trip. He would return a much wiser Jedi because of his time on Dromon.

## Relationships

Highly respects the orders and it's founding ideals, but is constantly worried that years of safety and now the clone wars have crumbled the ideas the Jedi once held so dear. He is worried for the future of the order.

### Beast Master Thon

Highly respects his steadfast attitude and opinions. Believes he is very wise as he took a trip with him into the forests of Dromon.

Believes he is a good teacher and a very good Jedi. He enjoys his talks on history.

### Elysar

One of Cha's greatest friends within the order, as he went on a 2 week trip with him and Beast Master Thon into the wilderness and jungles of Dromon. The two bonded much over the experience. They also bonded over the Expedition to Ruusan. The two seem to have an interest over knowledge instead of fighting.
