Personality

A jester at heart, Bracen often deals in sarcasm and can often find something to laugh at in any situation. While he is a very lighthearted person, he is also a fierce competitor. He has been known to toss in a few one liners to his opponents in order to fluster them. He is very in tune with his surroundings and is very good at seeing peoples' true intentions. He is a person who loathes the idea of being lied to, however he has been known to have his moments of dishonesty as well. He has an air of confidence in himself and prides himself on his ability to best others in most anything he encounters. He has a tendancy for the theatrics and likes to add flavor to his swordplay. His confidence allows him to perform at a higher level than most, but at the same time it has landed him into some tight spots. Though his several character flaws, he still strives to do the right thing.

Early Life

Bracen Vetir was born into a middle class family on his home planet of Corellia. At the age of 3 his parents awoke in the middle of the night to the shaking of the entire house. They rushed to their child with every intention of finding shelter. As they entered the room they saw the little boy squirming in his bed. It was apparent that the child was having a nightmare. The mother picked up they child and hushed the child as they began to make their way to the shelter beneath their house. As the child awoke the shaking ceased. The parents both had a look of confusion on their faces. Over the next few weeks the same phenomenon happened again and again. Every time it ended when the child had come back into a conscious state. Not knowing who else they could turn to, Bracen's parents contaced the Jedi Temple on Coruscant and inquired about having their son be seen by them. The Jedi dispatched Tirion Gage to come and see the boy. Upon his arrival Tirion had already felt a strong vergence in the Force. Tirion proceeded to inform the parents that their son was indeed a Force Sensative child. Through much deliberation the parents decided that it was in the best interests of the child to go with the Jedi.

Beginning Down the Path

Bracen was brought to the Jedi Temple in Coruscant to begin his training in the art and understanding of the Force. He developed a surprising amount of control and understanding of the Force starting at a young age. Bracen was also shown to have a propensity towards swordsman ship. Being a more hands-on student his lightsaber ability and manipulation of his Force abilities developed more quickly than the more book smart aspects of his learning. Eager to test his lightsaber abilities Bracen could almost always be found in the sparring room. His adept ability however brought a strong sense of self-confidence and assuredness in everything he did. This attribute made him prone to outbursts of frustration when things where not going the way that he wanted. Despite his arrogance, Bracen had recaptured the Attention of Jedi Master Tirion Gage(the Master who was sent to Corellia to see him as a child). Gage; a well known swordsman, was reminded of himself at a young age when he watched the boy duel. Even the arrogance was reminiscent of his adolesent self.

Becoming a Padawan

At the age of 12, Bracen was taken under the wing of Jedi Master Tiron Gage as a Padawan Learner. Bracen was eager to prove to his Master that he had made the right decision in taking him as his Padawan Learner. Being that his Master was an expert swordsman who was a master of Mikashi, Bracen assumed that he would jump right into learning all sorts of lightsaber techniques that would aid in the battle he seeked to achieve greatness in. However, his Master's plans where nowhere near the same. Tirion had noted from the beginning that Bracen's skill in the Force and with a lightsaber were considerable, however his self-confidence and dependence only upon himself was his downfall. Throughout his many years Tirion had noticed a defining characteristic of most Sith and Jedi that he had seen fall. Overconfidence.

Through the years leading up to the Sacking of Coruscant, Bracen trained vigorously in the art of Mikashi and had developed into a swordsman who employed grace, power, and agility into his swordplay. For his 16th birthday, his Master presented him with a gift. He opened the box which contained two elegantly crafted hilts. After recieving his new hilts, Bracen set out to his home world of Corellia in search of crystals for his sabers. Corellia was rumored to have orange lightsaber crystals in underwater caverns. Unlike his previous hilt, these were curved. The curved style of hilt was extremely favorable to Mikashi users. Bracen furthered his lightsaber skills by studying Jar'Kai(Dual Wield Technique).

Padawan Training

His Master also trained him to employ the acrobatic aspects of Ataru into his swordplay. Bracen's love for theatrics made him apt to learn how to use these acrobatics in both a flashy and effective manner.

The Sacking of Coruscant

Bracen awoke to the voice of his friend Sacre. "Bracen wake up! We are under attack!" she said forcefully to him. In a confused state bracen stepped out of his room and followed a group of Padawans who were running down the hall. Bracen then stopped at a window and peered outside. To his disbelief he saw landing ship after landing ship touch down on the planet's surface. As he continued to gaze out the window he saw hundreds upon hundreds of Sith filed out of the many landing craft. At the same time Jedi flooded out of the Temple to meet the oncoming threat. Bracen knew that his Master must be among the Jedi heading to battle. He turned to Sacre and said, "I'm going out there to find my Master." She replied, "I'm going with you." It was not the time for him to argue with her so they began to make their way through the Temple. As they ran through the Temple corridors, the frightened screams and cries of younglings filled the air. As they stepped outside the threshold of the Temple, Bracen and Sacre stopped to survey the battlefield. As he looked around Bracen saw the long white hair of his Master flowing as he dispatched one Sith after another. Bracen and Sacre sprinted as fast as they could to Tirion. Bracen came to his Master's side and snickered. "You're looking a little old out here Master." said Bracen sarcastically. "I just wanted to make you feel useful." his Master retorted with a smirk. The battle raged on, but it was becoming apparent that they Jedi were fighting a losing battle. Explosions were going off all around them as the gunships relentlessly devastated the city. The Jedi's numbers were dwindling. As Bracen looked to the sky he saw several transport ships landing outside the temple. "Master the ships are here!" exclaimed Bracen. His Master shouted in reply, "Fall back to the Temple!". As they ran back to the Temple, Bracen could see several groups of younglings being escorted to the transports. The three quickly made their way to the younglings to defend them as they made their way. At they bottom of the ramp they stood their ground, fending off the oncoming Sith. Out of nowhere Bracen was blindsided by a kick to his jaw. Bracen fell to the ground. As the Sith moved in the finish him off he saw the orange blur of his Master's lightsaber strike the Sith attacker. For a second Bracen's eyes locked for a moment and exchanged his gratitude to his Master. As Bracen looked away he saw two Sith moving behind his Master. "Master NOOOOOO!" shouted Bracen. His Master quickly turned around only to be impaled by two glowing red sabers. Disbelief had overcome Bracen, but was soon replaced by hatred. Bracen quickly jumped to his feet and threw one of his sabers and his adversaries. The saber struck the Sith directly in the heart. Bracen quickly jumped to the body and pulled his saber out. As he turned he saw the other Sith attacker leaping at him. Bracen instantly rolled forward beneath his attacker, and with one powerful strike he cut the Sith in two. He quickly made his way to his Master only to find that he he was already gone. Bracen looked over his shoulder and saw hundreds of Sith charging at him. He heard the voice of his friend Sacre crying out to him, "Bracen! We have to go. NOW!" He hated the thought of leaving his Master behind, but he knew that there was no way he could carry him to the ship. Bracen sprinted to the until he reached the ships ramp. He looked back for a brief moment at what had become of his home. 14 years of his life he spent here...and now it was gone.

The Republic Order

Even though he had escaped the battle on the ground, fighting stilled raged in the skies above Coruscant. As the ship navigated it's way through the ongoing battle, Bracen could only sit and watch as countless other transports were either destroyed or disabled. He was lucky to survive the flight. This can be attributed soley to a squadron of Jedi fighters who covered their escape. Bracen's transport followed the squadron in their jump to lightspeed. Bracen had heard whispers throughout the ship that Yavin IV was their destination. He had heard before that there was a extension of the Jedi Order on Yavin IV known as The Republic Order, however he had never had to pleasure of seeing it. He would be seeing it now though, however it would not be a trip for pleasure. Rather it was a trip of desperation. As the ship entered into the atmosphere of Yavin IV, Bracen could see a Temple. He thought to himself, "Home sweet home i guess..." As the ship touched down and Bracen disembarked, he was overwhelmed with questions of what would become of him. What would become of the Jedi...
