Kale Kamiya

Son of the late Yamato Kamiya, Kale Kamiya was a Jedi Master with unique abilities. He had a Padawan Yuna Lee, who became a Jedi Knight as well. The two fell in love, and they did not intend to keep it a secret, especially to the Jedi Order. Jedi Councilman Sarran Kyzak approved of their wish to marry, and they eventually did. Kale went through many hardships and events in his life, but he lived a long one, and died of natural causes.

Strengths
Kale was a skilled mechanic and a excellent pilot. He modified his own Actis Eta-3 Interceptor himself. He possessed the unique ability to generate and manipulate fire and heat, a trait generations of Kamiyas passed down. With this, he could also protect himself temporarily in a bubble of flame, or use this power to heal himself or others. He also had exceptional skill in using [[starwars:Force_heal|Force Heal], as well as some leadership qualities. Kale was somewhat unpredictable. Smart thinking and tactical knowledge sometimes bailed him out of difficult situations, and he never was known to give up easily.

Kale was a known practitioner of Saber Form III (Soresu). He was also very skilled in Form V (Shien / Djem So) as well as Form IV (Ataru). Kale possessed some knowledge of Form II ([[starwars:Makashi|Makashi]) too.

Kale left the Order for a time to search for his past. Being successful, he became stronger in the Force and had new abilities, some still unknown to others today:

The Force gave him great strength and agility and was able to tap into a larger amount of Force energy, and was able to absorb great quanitites of Force Lighting, and either send it back flying at the enemy as a "lightning-ball," or as the rare Force power known as Electric Judgement. Kale also had an accelerated self-healing factor.

Kale's new powers made it nearly impossible for him to be tempted to give in to the Dark Side of the Force, unless he happened to be near a large Dark Side nexus. An example of this was when Isshaorrack's creation of one after he fled a battle that involved Kale himself and Jedi Councilman Charlie Calmius on Kamino, yet Kale and Charlie had left before the nexus could do any real damage.

Weaknesses
Kale was unable to generate Electric Judgement on his own, unless when using the technique as shown above. He was sometimes prone to be caught off guard. Kale was also vulnerable to relentless Force attacks, as well as large Dark Side nexuses which in turn made it easier for him to turn to the Dark Side, but only when he was near the twisted, dark aura. He could sometimes overuse his powers and the Force to an extensive degree where the next time he attempted to use them shortly after, he passed out for a period of time. An example would be using Force Healing to aid others, and then using every last bit of his energy to heal someone gravely wounded.

Kale was also vulnerable to practitioners of Saber forms he was less experienced with.
