Ren Silber

Ren Silber was a Force sensitive human male and Jedi Knight active during the Galactic Civil War. Captain of the Sovereign Outcast, he would become renown for his powers in the Force and his skills with a lightsaber, earning himself multiple Purge Trooper and Inquisitor kills.

Early Life
Born 22 years before the Battle of Yavin on the planet Torano II in the Mid Rim Territories, Ren and his older sister Ral were discovered by Jedi Master Kira Cereza in 19 BBY, when Ren and Ral were just 3 and 4 years old, respectively, and were taken to be trained at the Jedi Temple on Coruscaunt as they were both discovered to be highly Force-sensitive. During the journey back, however, Order 66 was executed and the Jedi Purge began. Master Cereza defeated the clone troopers that had accompanied her and, sensing the great disturbance in the Force, had the foresight to hide in the Outer Rim to train Ren and Ral on her own.

Settling down on the isolated planet of Nirakos in a small village, Master Cereza would begin instructing the siblings on the ways of the Force and in the teachings of the Jedi Order, knowing that she may very well be one of the last remaining Jedi in the galaxy. Ren displayed a high aptitude in the Force, greater than that of his sister, but in the end was not chosen to be trained fully due to his reckless and hot-headed personality, with Master Cereza instead favoring his more calm and collected sister to be trained as her padawan. Although not chosen to be trained in an official capacity, Ren still trained himself in the ways of the Force and especially in the field of combat, being assisted here and there by his sister whenever she could slip away from her master. It was through this that Ren began to display heightened abilities in the Force, a shift which Master Cereza noticed. After catching the two training together, Master Cereza decided it would be better to train Ren as well, so as to teach him restraint and moderation in order to tame his rapidly growing abilities in the Force.

However, in 5 BBY, fate would eventually find them, and the Empire would track Master Cereza down to Nirakos, sending the Inquisitorius in the form of the Eleventh Brother, whose mission was to hunt down and kill Kira Cereza. The Inquisitor gave the order to the Stormtroopers under his command to raze the village to the ground in an attempt to draw Master Cereza out of hiding. Master Cereza revealed herself and engaged the Inquisitor but the Jedi Master was eventually overpowered, unaccustomed to combat after such a long time and unfamiliar with the Inquisitor's unique spinning lightsaber. It was at this point that Ren, afraid for his Master's safety, came out of hiding with his sister following in an attempt to stop him, whereupon the two were also discovered to be Force sensitive by the Eleventh Brother. Master Cereza attempted to defend the siblings, but her lightsaber was eventually cut in two by the Eleventh Brother and she was quickly cut down thereafter, leaving Ral to defend alone. She would not fare as well, and was struck down easily, the Inquisitor toying with her and taunting Ren for being powerless to save her, before striking the final blow.

Enraged by this, Ren grabbed his sister's lightsaber and engaged the Eleventh Brother in combat. Ren displayed a much greater power than before in his fury, and took the Inquisitor aback with the unrelenting force. The Inquisitor would eventually disarm Ren by spinning his lightsaber and knocking Ren's blade out of his hand, though before the Eleventh Brother could move in for the kill, Ren released a maelstrom of Force Lightning at the Inquisitor, taking him completely by surprise and forcing him to take the full force of Ren's rage. Lying on the ground and reeling in pain from the attack, Ren, weary from the fight and the sudden rush of power through him, quickly reclaimed his sister's lightsaber and finished the Inquisitor off.

With his home destroyed, the only family he'd ever had dead, and with the knowledge that the Empire would soon return to finish him off, Ren decided to leave the planet in order to find his way in the wider Galaxy, and to defeat the Empire that had destroyed everything he'd ever known. With the help of the survivors of the village, he requisitioned a ship to take him off world, and headed into the great unknown of the Galaxy, carrying with him the lightsaber of the Inquisitor he'd slain, as well as that of his fallen sister.

Personality and Traits
"You misunderstand me. I don't need ALL the power in the Galaxy. Just enough to bury you and the rest of your Empire will do."

- Ren Silber Ren Silber was always hot-headed and eager to fight. He had an extremely strong sense of justice and despised injustice wherever he saw it, though this didn't necessarily mean evil by default. Ren sought power, and worked for it constantly in training with the Force and in his skills with a lightsaber, and he sought to use that power in order to enact his justice and bring down the injustice he saw in the Empire. Ren came to an understanding that neither the Jedi or Sith did, in that the Light and the Dark Side existed within everyone, and attempting to shut oneself away from either would only lead to destruction. In this, he would learn to use both the Light and the Dark, although he was wise enough to know when one was overpowering the other, as he felt the Dark Side turning him after the incident on Alteia, which led to him seeking out Mace Windu in order to teach him how to temper his inner darkness and channel it towards a righteous cause.

Personality-wise, Ren was cocky and confident, always keeping a lighthearted attitude, often making sarcastic remarks even in the face of death. Although this attitude should not be mistaken for apathy, as he is deeply concerned with the welfare of those close to him, as well as the protection of the innocent, and will go to great lengths to right any wrongs he sees.

Ren was also born with Asperger's Syndrome, making him somewhat awkward around people and social situations, sometimes making a fool of himself without realizing, though he was still able to empathize greatly with others, especially through the Force.

Powers and Abilities
Ren Silber was a descendant of Jedi Master and Sith Lord Revan, giving him a natural affinity for both the Light and Dark Sides of the Force, eventually mastering both and being able to use either at any time or both in conjunction. He was a naturally gifted fighter, utilizing his tremendous abilities in the Force to dominate his enemies. Ren was especially gifted in the use of telekinesis, being able to manipulate extremely heavy objects, though he was also skilled enough to manipulate things in delicate ways, constructing his lightsaber in order to do so, as well as being adept at Force push and pull, being able to send powerful concussive blasts outwards or pull in distant targes to attack up close. Ren was also extremely skilled in Force Lightning, using it not only in the common way of projecting arcs towards enemies, but also utilizing it in esoteric ways, most notably charging the blade of his lightsaber with lightning and using it to power up his strikes, or casting it outwards to form a blade of lightning that traveled through the air and could cut through distant targets. Ren was also able to use the ability of tutaminis with proficiency, using it to deflect blaster bolts and at the extreme end using it to grab a lightsaber bare handed. He was also able to use it to deflect and absorb Force Lightning, though he would prefer to use his lightsaber to do so, and his abilities with tutaminis was not infallible, as an extremely powerful burst of Force Lightning would be able to overwhelm him.

Ren's skills with a lightsaber were just as impressive, having been trained by Kira Cereza first in lightsaber Forms I and III, but eventually forming his own unique style incorporating Forms II, IV, V and most notably Form VII, being taught Vapaad by Jedi Master Mace Windu. Ren utilizes the unorthodox reverse grip with his lightsaber, enabling extremely fast and powerful strikes, while also being precise and graceful, incorporating spins and power strikes in equal measure. Ren also utilizes his body in combat, having more than once reached out and grabbed a target through their guard to throw them back or slam them into the ground. He also utilizes more traditional kicks and jumps to great effect. Ren has also shown a great ability with dual wielding lightsabers, using the reverse grip with his primary and a standard grip with his secondary.

Ren carries with him a modificed KR-22 blaster pistol, mainly used in situations where he is unable to use his lightsaber, such as when laying low or when he needs to keep his identity as a Force sensitive a secret. He has been trained in the use of a blaster pistol by Trent Morano, a bounty hunter and sharpshooter. Ren quickly caught on to the use of it, being able to hit targets easily with the use of his Force enhanced senses. He has even employed his lightsaber in conjunction with his blaster, fighting with both at the same time, deflecting blaster fire with his lightsaber while firing off precise shots with his own blaster. He would then be trained more extensively by the Mandalorian bounty hunter Luna Kryze, who taught him Mandalorian techniques with firearms as well as teaching him how to defend from Mandalorian tactics used to hunt Jedi.

Ren's most unique combat oriented ability, however, is the usage of all four of his lightsabers at once, using the Force to suspend them around himself and attack with each simultaneously. He is able to do this with all four of his blades, though he prefers to use his own lightsaber in the one hand while utilizing the other three through the Force. Using this technique, he is able to defend from all angles, attack from all directions, and overwhelm any opposing force, with only the most powerful and skilled duelists being able to take the pure onslaught of strikes coming from all sides at once.
