Here's the character's personality at present that isn't alterable but maybe alittle "flexible" since its only around his close companions and people he's setting an example for. The guys a hardass stickler for the rules, serene, but unsure of himself, and a real believer in Good/Evil/Black/White morality. He believes the Jedi should be preserved at all costs and set a perfect moral paragon example for people (I never questioned the WHY until now) However its known he's fallen in love on several occasions and all that's generally known is the fact he's parted with them all now. His master described him as a foolish romantic. (I've never actually got to play any of these romances out though I'm considering starting the next one soon-this is all just dry backhround) That's pretty much it. His history also is rather textbook. He was a Yssani, slightly Native-American and Gypsy people on the Planet Ossus, whom raised him until he was six years old. His memories are bleak but they worshiped the Jedi as gods and he had a firm instillation of right and wrong then (The source of some of his stuff is here but its not 'flowing' necessarily) Then the Jedi took the kid and he was placed under the guy of Jedi Master Nikko Tyris, an Anzati whom would eventually fall to the Sith. He trained Fuji from the time he was twelve til the time he was 16 in the harshest manner possible with apparently Fuji's survival in serious doubt on several occasions. I'm not sure how much abuse could get by the Jedi council though. His final lesson to Fuji was to show him an illusion of him murdering a pretty padawan he'd apparently fallen for and having Fuji murder "him" before kicking him out. (Nikko was already planning to refound the Sith then and wanted Fuji kicked out of the Jedi so he could pick him up later) Fuji apparently took a holocron (he was led by a spirit he believes though this may be rationalizing) and tried to become a Jedi on his own before a Jedi tracked him down and oddly took him as an apprentice He's been vaguelly described as Master Yoda if Master Yoda were a slob and Corellian Then the story leaps ahead to him being all serene. Tying this all together and giving an overwhelming need for the character is kinda difficult and I'd really like some advice.

In the illusion, who is killing the Padawan? Is Nikko still apparently a Jedi, or did he flee to found a Sith sect? Is Fuji still an apprentice Jedi at this time? Fuji was beliving that his master, as a Jedi, was only doing good. However, Nikko left him after commiting an act of evil. Fuji should have been traumatize by this. He should have flee to some obscure planet to meditate. He should have develop an exotic profession, before a new Jedi Master find him.

Basically Nikko got a 16 year old that Fuji had a crush on and was quite close to and conjured an illusion of Nikko murdering her. Fuji tapped the dark side and attacked the illusion for the senseless act of murder. Thus Fuji finds himself getting expelled from the Jedi even though Nikko wasn't harmed because the master wanted to ban him. I do agree its pretty traumatic
