Colt Harding

Colt Harding was a male Human force sensitive, guerrilla fighter and the first from his homeworld of Earth to be trained as a Jedi.

Clone Wars
Colt was born in a small town on Earth. Much of his early childhood was spent working with cattle and crops for his family. Late into the Clone Wars, a desperate CIS launched an invasion of the planet. With many humans being sent off world into slavery, Colt, a teenager by this point quickly joined the resistance against the occupation. Three months into the occupation, Colt discovered a lightsaber in the ruins of Topeka.

This, combined with an encounter of Jedi Knight Keno Carti would start him on the path to becoming the first Jedi from Earth. During a droid ambush, Colt first discovered that he was a force sensitive when he managed to use the force to pull his lightsaber to him. Keno took notice of this and brought him before the Jedi Council. Before the Jedi Masters, Colt pleaded his planet's case.

Master Yoda, having already sensed the suffering of Colt's homeworld, agreed to send a Clone battalion to liberate the planet and bring it into the Republic. Keno then began to train Colt in the various ways of the Force, even how to build a lightsaber. After a short time, both master and apprentice were sent out to the outer rim to help with the fighting.

However Order 66 was issued in route. When the troopers stationed on their ship turned against them, Keno was killed. In an act of revenge, Colt used both his and his fallen master's lightsaber against the troopers, slaying all of them on board.

Great Jedi Purge
Shortly after much of the Jedi Order was wiped out, Colt returned to Earth. Even though the planet had been liberated from the CIS droids, it was occupied by the Imperial troopers that had liberated it.

Resuming his old life of being a guerrilla, Colt began one of the first resistance groups against the Empire.

Force
Colt was very skilled in using the force. This included mind tricks, Force Repulse, Force Push, and other powers associated with the Jedi. Shortly after his master's death, Colt learned Force Lightning and Force Grip, abandoning the standard Jedi Code and using what ever he could against the Empire.

Lightsaber
Despite being trained in the ways of the force, Colt had very little training with a lightsaber. However he was still a very skilled swordsman, coming up with his own style of fighting and being almost totally self taught. Much of this comes from his time as a guerrilla fighter during the Clone Wars.
