Talk:Shakvail: Beginnings/Chapter 2: Initiate

This will serve as the talk page for Chapter 2, where any readers/editors are encouraged to leave comments regarding the chapter. Some initial author's notes regarding the chapter follow.

1. No formal ceremony for becoming a Jedi Master actually exists in canon, so I have invented one that seems reasonable. No doubt it would not apply in all circumstances, but this sort of dramatic deliberation seems appropriate for peace time. I have chosen the date for Z’meer’s promotion arbitrarily, but she was referenced as a Jedi Master during the Clone Wars.

2. Like most one-off canon characters, Z’meer does not have an official age. Her comic appearance is not clear on this front, especially given the Jedi ability to prolong lifespans. I have chosen to have her born in 69 BBY, making her three years younger than Mace Windu and thirty-two during this story.

3. Master Tra’s M’ins, like the other Jedi Masters in this piece, is a canon character, a diplomat who was a contemporary of Jorus C’baoth.

4. The Apprentice Tournament is a canon event, and has been described in some detail in other sources regarding a Clone Wars iteration. I have tried to present an accurate rendition that fits existing material.

5. Z’meer’s facial marks are presented in her comic appearance. As no explanation is attached to them, I have provided my own.
