Biography
"Correction it used to be expensive." -Troskin

Troskin was a Human male jedi knight who lived from 871 ABY until the great Scourge of Descon in 890 ABY and was the padawan of Jedi master Hytros Besco. He was rather arrogant of his abilities since he advanced to knight far faster than any other classmates that he had. He was the one of the leaders of the Last stand of Descon before it fell under under The Golden Scourge's control. At the end of his life he was more powerful than most of the Jedi on the entire planet.

Early life
Troskin was found to be force sensitive at around three years of age and was taken to the Jedi temple on Descon where he was trained along with a large class of younglings. When he was older he often bested even some of the trainees as much as five years older than him and took great pride in this. He also pulled many pranks over the years, which got him in some minor trouble. At age 12 he was taken as an apprentice of Jedi master Hytros Besco and became a knight just two years later.

Mission to Naboo
Troskin's first mission was supposed to be a negotiation of trade routes in the Naboo system,however it didn't end up that way. As soon as their SC-X13 star fighter jumped out of Hyperspace they were immediately fired apon by an entire squadron of ZT-7 star fighters. Up until this point Troskin had been asleep but he quickly woke up. His master ordered him to man the gyro beam which he did with little precision. The enemies however landed an Bith torpedo which destabilized the the ship causing it to shut down. However instead of taking the easy kill the lead ship latched on with a tractor beam and pulled it toward an unknown space station. when they reached the station they were gased with Ithision which imediatly knocked them out.

Escape from captivity
Once he awoke he tried to find his master but he was not there. Troskin stretched out with his still growing force sense but found nothing. He attempted to break free of his restraints and to his suprise, he was able to. Then he heard a guard talking outside his cell door. After listening he learned that the guards thought he wasn't a Jedi instead they believed he was just a lucky gunner who got to come with a jedi master. He wondered why they thought this. Then it hit him he hadn't yet constructed a lightsaber. For once this seemed actually fortunate. He decided to make an escape attempt, but young as he was he didn't actually have a plan. He violently pushed the durasteel door aside and disarmed a guard and then his partner. then he locked both of the up taking guard 257's blaster and guard 126's uniform.

Waiting and discovery of a plot
After two whole weeks of work on the station and a couple of close calls he discovered where his master had been taken. However far more horrifying was the secret fleet of Naboo which was currently under construction. First though he had to rescue his master, who was in the maximum security section. Eventually after gaining some trust among the the warden he gained clearance to maximum security section. At his first opportunity he disabled the lockdown and this put the base on alert. This allowed him to make his way to his master's cell in the confusion. There he found his master drugged and sleepy. He broke the restraint with the force and literally punched his master in the gut to get him more aware. His master though still not fully aware was now aware enough. and they stealthily made their way to the hanger. Just as Troskin thought they were good to go a patrol noticed them. His master suprised him by throwing them into a wall even though he was very weak. However he failed to do this before they were reported. they took their SC-X13 fighter, which was repaired by this time. But because they had been spotted 12 ZT-7 fighters were launched after them. Troskin tried to program the navicomputer but his inexperience proved almost fatal as they were hit by laser fire more than one time. eventually though they succeeded in making the jump to lightspeed.

Left out
When he returned to Descon he told the Jedi council of what had happened. They told him they would handle it. When he offered to help however they declined. Months later he learned that the threat was over. He thought to himself "I should have been there." worse yet they hadn't even credited him with the fleet's discovery. This wasn't what he had hoped for. He was cheered up though when he was allowed to build his own lightsaber. He selected a blue Kyber crystal.

Ascension to knight
Later in his life in he learned that he was about to attempt the Jedi trials as he had been deemed ready. This excited him very much and he even went on to tell his master that he hoped someday he would become the most powerful Jedi ever to which he was rebuked. But when it came time for the trials he passed with some of the best achievements in the jedi archives.

Developing his abilities
When he became a jedi knight he really focused on honing his abilities. He would often go on week long sojourns to find himself and commune with nature. Eventually he learned the power of animal friendship, which was very rare in this time period. He was also still trying to please his old master because of a disagreement that had created a rift between them. His affinity for mind tricks became apparent on accident when he told one of the Jedi council members he wanted to take an apprentice. He could tell the master was under his influence when he repeated his words and said yes. He found this amusing and left because he didn't want to be known as the jedi who used mind on his fellow jedi to get what he wanted. Tho when he realized is inherent ability he spent hours perfecting it when on missions.

Taking an apprentice
In 888ABY when he was seventeen he was deemed ready to take an apprentice. He was initially worried but his fears were removed when he met his apprentice Jiron Bluke. He discovered Jiron was not a brat as he had anticipated, which greatly eased him as he hated having to put up with them. Instead Jiron was cheerful and always ready to please, maybe a little too much at times. The one thing that really bugged Troskin was the fact that Jiron was a little too much of a scholar and not a warrior, but he quickly grew out of this under his master's teachings. After about two months of apprenticeship Jiron began studies into form three soresu and form four ataru. This was unexpected but encouraged. Troskin himself was considered even by Jedi Grand Master Ergath to be a master of Soresu,Makashi,and Djem so. He attempted to teach his student Makashi but Jorin said he thought what he was studying was enough and his master gave in.

First mission with an apprentice
After about three months of training his apprentice, the Jedi council dispatched the pair on a mission to the world of Serenno to destroy an unknown base of operations for a pirate group. During this mission his apprentice demonstrated his competence with a blade while deflecting blaster bolts. The pair encountered complications when they ran into an unknown warrior who seemed infatuated with serving something or someone known as The Golden Scourge. As the warrior pulled out his weapon of choice a staff his apprentice laughed "This is too easy" but in a flash the warrior hadstruck the apprentice and he lay knocked out on the floor. Troskin activated hi blad and attemted to slice the weapon in half but it resisted. Seeing that he would have to penetrate the warrior's guard he decided Makashi would serve him best.the fight lasted for around half an hour an hour with thrusts elegant spins and parries exchanged for strong overhand swings and jabs. Their fight eventually lead outside to a cliff.Troskin was forced onto the defensive having to switch to soresu. But in the end Troskin's use of force speed turned the tide of the fight and he quickly decapitaed his opponent. After The brutal Fight Troskin checked on his student and was relieved to learn he was alright. He woke him and together they advanced to the control room and destroyed it.

Later studies into the Force
Some time after the mission to Serenno, Troskin spent much time researching the mysteries of the force and honing his already potent force skills. He also spent time training his apprentice. He and his student were both interested in the subject of Battle meditation but neither of them had the discipline for it.

The Scourge infiltration
During the early months of 890ABY an infiltration of The Jedi Temple took place. During the infiltration four unknown enemies slipped past the temple's defenses. Troskin was present during this time and helped to end it. When he and his old master were attacked by three only Troskin's skill with force deflection stopped the in coming blaster fire. After this he used a powerful force push to send them flying and telekenesis to crush them with a ripped out chunk of a wall. His old master responding to this by saying "That was expensive". He responded "Correction it used to be expensive." The last of the four assasins was captured and questioned. The Jedi learned that this was a scouting party and an invasion was coming soon.

The Last stand of Descon
Troskin was present during The Last stand of Descon. The planet was attacked by scores of ships and ground troops. Troskin killed many scourge troopers and scourge warriors. After slaying so many he arrogantly charged seven Grand Scourge warriors and did not come back.

Death
Troskin was killed during The Last stand of Descon when he attempted to take on seven grand scourge warriors alone.He was able to kill five before being stabbed through his gut. In his futile struggle to stay alive he fought on and actually killed the last two grand scourge warriors and five more scourge troopers before eventually falling. His body was then crushed by a scourge tank. It was not seen after.

Post-mortem
After falling the Golden Scourge pushed on and wiped out most of the defenders. This lead to them controling the planet for one and a half months before the combined force of Republic reinforcement and the survivors defeated the Golden Scourge and drove them off Descon. later on statues were built to honer the most important of the fallen defenders,and Troskin was one of them. It is unknown whether Troskin mastered the Force Ghost skill.

Personality and traits
Troskin was mildly arrogant in his early years and enjoyed pranking his classmates because of his much larger affinity for the force. He thought he could become the most powerful Jedi in the galaxy. He did his best to impress his his master and told him of his great aspirations. He was very kind in his later years and learned to commune with animals. At this time that ability was almost unheard of,but at this point he was not arrogant of it. At the end of his life though his arrogance boiled up again and he foolishly attacked seven Grand scourge warriors and payed with his life for this mistake.

Powers and abilities
Troskin had a great affinity for the Force and advanced in his studies very quickly. he developed the ability of Animal friendship which was almost unheard of at this time in galactic history. Other abilities at his disposal included a broad understanding of telekenesis,force push,force deflection,force speed,and the Jedi mind trick. His mastery of lightsaber forms Soresu,Makashi,and Djem so, was admired by even Grand Master Ergath.

Behind the scenes
Troskin is how I envision a Jedi with great power,who is somewhat arrogant but a good person at heart,and not a winy brat like some chosen one I know. He could have a much larger story but his life has to be cut short. The reason for this is my creativity is very small. Samuel Hallman 2/16/16
