Huang Karasu

Huang Karasu was the Jedi council member given the title Sword master of the order, under the Grand master Talzea Keldroma. He served through both the Alsakan crisis and the Hutt war on the council, mastering his arts in the way of the lightsabre to pass on his knowledge.

Huang was born on the world of Corellia. He experienced a world of drunken violence for the first five years of his life, before being promptly ushered into the quiet melancholy of the order. The memories of his violent past still live on in Huang, twenty years later…

He had to go through attempted sellings, killings and beatings as every day activities. It was worse when his parents got really drunk… They would find it fun to threaten him by holding him off the balcony of their fifth story hab block, or burn him with candles for ruining his life. Once he got to the order, the memories were nicely tucked away…

It is unknown when he got his piercings, but it seemed to be before his trials, as the first knowledge of his new image was on the day of the trials themselves. The Jedi Masters reserved comment.

He advanced to knight with ease, his proficiency with the lightsabre and the force blasting him through the trials. He was watched, however, as his emphasis on these areas, and less so on the ethical beliefs worried to council and masters. He has occasionally even argued with some of the majorly pacifistic councillers, gaining him a reputation as a hasty fighter.

Now he is a master, seated on the council. His knowledge with the blade is useful in these times of strife in the galaxy. He keeps his treatise upon his created form, which he labelled 'Tràkata' with him at all times. Some see him as the new version of deceased knight Edo Tesu, with the alternative appearence and ways of thinking, but Huang does not compare himself to others in such a way. He supports the war of defence ideaology of the loyalist jedi, and is busy at work on training a select few in the ways of the blade and mind.

Recently, he has developed the lightsabre form known as Tràkata, a form which takes advantage of the fact a lightsabre can be turned off and on in rapid succession. In doing so, he has had to train fine motor skills with the force to a startling degree, and his acrobatic prowess had to become formidable too, so that the lightsabre would not be ignited until the opportune moment... the killing blow. He has not yet taken an apprentice in the form, for even now, twenty years later, Huang Karasu is adjusting it. But finally, he belives it ready. His treatise will soon be released into the Jedi Library.

In the Hutt War, Huang has been very involved in the battles that have sprung up, a silent dervish, a cold avatar of war. He seeks out the keystone of an army, often situated in the hard core of Taung fighters, to challenge them. He relishes the new challenge the Taung have brought to him.
