Kona Hiso



Kona Hiso is a Dark Jedi and Bounty Hunter, trained by Maria Ren. He originates from the Star Wars: Clone of the Force series.

Personality
Kona fluctuates between two major attitudes. When performing a task for his master, Maria Ren, or when he is her presence or the presence of someone she considers important, Kona is quiet and deadly serious. When none of the above are true, Kona is carefree and a bit of a dare-devil though he does value his friends and companions, such as the Mandalorian Bounty hunter Samu. He is an extreme risk-taker and often attempts, and succeeds at, daring plans against overwhelming odds, such as his infiltration of the Jedi Temple on Dantooine.

Despite his attitude, Kona holds his master in high regard, thinking of her both as mentor and mother, and will go out of his way in order to please her, even if that means facing the aforementioned overwhelming odds. Like his mentor, Kona has a dislike of Jedi that was drilled into him from a young age, though he never questioned why. While his master prefers Kona to hide his face around others, Kona is known to remove his helmet when outside alliance territory or at a canteena.

Appearance
Kona is clad in a black body suit that acts both as clothing and armour, though is isn't restrictive to his movements. He also wears a black helmet that completely obstructs view of his face. When this is removed he is shown to have brown hair and matching eyes with a pale complexion. He wears his lightsaber at his waist.

Powers and Abilites
Force Sensitivity: As a Dark Jedi, Kona is sensitive to the force and can harness its energy to perform a variety of feats. His sensitivity to the force is even greater than his master's, though he doesn't rely on his force powers too heavily.

Swordsmanship Specialist: Maria has passed onto Kona her knowledge of the all the major lightsaber styles of both the Jedi and the Sith and how to apply each style in combat. With this knowledge, and years of training, Kona has honed his skills to the point that he can rapidly shift styles as the situation calls, changing from a style designed for Assassination to one designed for dueling faster than most opponents can react.

Stealth Specialist: Due to his training as an assassin with Maria and his part-time career as a bounty hunter with Samu, Kona understands the need for stealth in many situations and has become skilled enough to avoid detection in all but the most well-guarded of facilites. Exteme Tactical Ability: Kona is a gifted strategist, capable of orchestrating anything from a planetary defence to a small man-hunt or even the infiltration of a Jedi Temple. This ability has come in handy during his career as a bounty hunter and an ally of the Empire Remnant.
 * Force-enhanced Stealth: Perhaps Kona's most applied force power is his ability to hide himself from Force-sensitives, preventing them from sensing his presence until visual of sound contact is made. This skill was the lynchpin of Kona's infiltration of the Dantooine Jedi Temple.

History
When Maria Ren was a part of the Jedi order, she had an apprentice that she had grown too attached to. When that apprentice was killed, she broke down. When the jedi order forbade the cloning of her apprentice, she fled the order with enough of a genetic sample from her deceased apprentice to make a fully functional, flawless clone that would be as powerful as the original. With this sample, Maria created for herself a new apprentice, though she also would raise this cloned child as if he were her own offspring.

Kona trained under Maria for many years until his swordplay abiltiy began to rival hers and his ability to harness the force was so great that he could even mask his aura from other force-sensitives, including his master. It was around this time that Kona rescued the Mandarlorian Bounty hunter Samu from a group of smugglers he had tried to capture and the two became friends. This friendship provided Kona with a valuable ally and means to travel between worlds. A year later, Kona located the Empire Remnant Admiral Sai Kotaro and brought him to the Galasa system, where Maria had gathered nearly two batallions of defected Stormtroopers and engineers, and oversaw an alliance between Maria and the admiral, giving both Kona and Samu a stronger refuge from the Alliance.

In time, Kona grew to the point where there was nothing more Maria could teach him. One day, Maria summoned Kona to a room where she kept the lightsabers of defeated adversaries, both Jedi and Sith alike, and conferred upon Kona the title of "Dark Jedi Knight".
