Gender: Male

Species/Race: Human

Hair: Black

Eyes: Pale green

Homeworld: Originally Naboo

Affiliation: The Jedi

Position/Rank: Jedi Master

Lightsaber Combat Style: Slip is beyond a master of Ataru (form IV) and Makashi (Form II). Extremely advanced in Shii-Cho (Form I) and Soresu (Form III), he understands and is proficient with Shien (Form V). Slipshade has been using swords all his life and thus adapting lightsaber forms proved easy for him. His primary form of attack is Form IV mixed with liberal blaster use from his free hand. Slipshade is also heavily trained in the Echani martial art form. The Pirate Jedi has no qualms about flipping around an opponent and shooting them in the back. He feels the faster the fight is over, the less likely an innocent person is hurt. Slipshade also has no problem having his crew overwhelm an opponent and slaying them. Many Sith have fallen to this cheep trick.

Colour(s) of your lightsaber: Slipshade has two lightsabers both blue in color, which is his trademark. The Jedi?s symbol on his ship is a skull with crossed blue sabers. Mostly Slip uses one lightsaber in combat only bringing out the second to impress and intimidate rather than seriously fight.

Transportation: ?The Joker?s Revenge? is a Dornean Gunship refurnished from the assault against the second death star. It is a ship designed exclusively for ship to ship combat. At 90 meters long, it carries 8 double turbolaser cannons, 2 double Ion cannons, and eight concussion missile launchers with a small docking bay for forcibly docking with enemy ships in combat maneuvers. This large vessel bares the pirate and his 92 man crew of good natured pirates. Slipshade uses this ship to attack any Sith vessel to capture lightsabers and Sith artifacts to turn into the Jedi for better understanding of the enemy.

Enemies: Many small law enforcement agencies, Sith, and galactic restraining orders.

Background: Slipshade is an enigma, always talking but never truly about himself. If you ask Slipshade about his life, he?ll tell a grand story about how he was born to parents with no interest in children and abandoned. Slipshade was raised by gangs, prostitutes, and mostly the Exchange. While this tale is mostly true, it does harbor a bit of lies too. In reality, he was born near Theed on Naboo in an underground Mandalorian base. He was trained into young adulthood as a Mandalorian berserker warrior. A group of thugs heard about the base, and figured the base would be a great place to make money from all the weapons and armor, so they stole an experimental toxic gas. This gas had particles small enough to penetrate protective suits, and to slip past breathing filters. This nasty bit of business also could be absorbed through the skin?and the thugs put this into the air system in the base, killing everyone in it.

Slipshade alone lived, as he was Force sensitive, and involuntarily used a form of breath control to live. The young man was in horrific shape though?and angry. There was no honor in being the only survivor of an attack?and so he sought the blood of those who were guilty. Years past by, and all of them died by his hands?but the killing did not stop. As a young pirate, he attacked many of ships earning him the name of the ?Unhousebroken Dog?. Eventually he became Captain of his own ship and found his crew adored him. The Jedi soon uncovered this, and to beat out the rising Sith threat, the Council voted to train him. Slipshade learned from his master quickly, and soon found Knighthood. The life of a Jedi gave the young man purpose and a new lease on life, and a respect for it. He quickly rose to the rank of Master, and though his methods are sometimes unorthodox, he has proven time and time again why he was a good selection for the Jedi Order.

Specialties: Poems, lightsaber combat, Singing, Making entrances, and luck. Truly the Force works through this Jedi in odd ways always letting him come out of dangerous situations with a smile on his face. He is also incredibly charismatic, and the Force flows through him to others allowing them to confide and respect him. These bonds are created without any effort at all on his part. A special ability indeed.

Force Powers: All of the ?basic? and ?Lightside? Force powers such as push, pull, excreta. Also knows how to hide himself in the Force, cloaking, and is a master of illusions and other mind tricks. He has also mastered the ability called Crucitorn, and can use it to constantly rise in combat in situations where he should be crippled. Slipshade has mastered the ability to use the Force to assist his movements to create no noise and to assist his jumping, running and other important movements in combat. His skill with Darkside powers in unknown.

Battles: With his pirate lifestyle, Slipshade constantly walks the thin line between light and dark, but his heart is truly lightside. Many of the battles he faces will never be documented or known outside of the Jedi order, and even then some no one will ever know. Slipshade boasts, but keeps his true business relatively quiet.

This ship has been slightly modified from the original design. It has been refurnished to perform at today?s standards and fitted with bigger engines and powerful shields and counter measures. The Hangers were extended to allow for more troop support to be flown to a conquered ship in mid-combat, though all escort ships have been stripped of all weapons save for a pair of ion cannons to make room for impressive speed and far superior shields themselves. This ship still cannot support a ground assault as there is no more room for additional troops or munitions such as tanks.
