Changes: Braw Neck

Revision as of 11:46, 30 November 2020

His tactical thinking may be restricted, much as he is accessed a power far stronger than thousands of soldiers.
—Commander Ralf Vanders, on Braw Neck

Braw Neck was a human Jedi Master who served the Galactic Republic as a General during the Clone Wars. A survivor of Order 66, he was strictly involved in bringing relief to those threatened by the Galactic Empire.

Following the downfall of the Galactic Republic, Braw Neck took shelter from the newly proclaimed regime on the planet of Zuomiarra. While originally accommodated in Gienna's place, he eventually erected a clay hut to reside in henceforth. In 18 BBY, at Gienna's request, he succored the nearby village's residents in repulsing an attack by the Empire, which had arrived in the pursuit of Diego, a remaining Confederacy of Independent Systems officer, and suspecting them of covering for him, threatened to burn down all the settlement in case he was not turned in. During the direct confrontation with the clone troopers, Neck identified himself as Ladir Voe. Although he failed to defend the inhabitants, the man managed to leave the planet with Gienna and Diego, with whom the two joined forces and undertook a daring escape from the regime on board of the freighter Sepich.

In his times within the structures of the Order, Braw Neck was responsible for the training of Padawan Marr Chinn, who betrayed in the Imperial era and turned to the dark side of the Force. Becoming an inquisitor, he strove to localize his former master in order to kill him. Their unusual bond was not revealed until Braw Neck's squad was on Zuomiarra, contributing to the exposure of the Jedi Master's whereabouts. In spite of the companions' success in repulsing two duels with the Inquisitorius, one involving Marr himself, they were made to leave the planet upon the Zuomiarra Cataclysm, commanded and arranged by Commander Ralf Vanders. The escape took place on board of the Monster, a reconstructed Republic gunship belonging to the local boy Kai Teck. On their further way, Julie Taa—a fat housekeeper encountered by chance, whose thickness roused Braw Neck's fascination about her—was expelled from the team due to her obesity. The squad shortly attained Unconquerable, the headquarters of the remaining Separatists. After Diego's betrayal, Neck, Gienna, Luc—a mechanic traveling with them—and Kai Teck were disarmed and placed in a cell, out of which they managed to get during a subsequent Imperial attack. The latter, however, stayed back in the base, thought to be dead while in fact only injured.

Neck valued life over all, which constituted his principle philosophical-social view. By that virtue, the Jedi would encounter difficulties having to kill in fight, as well as enter into disputes with his apprentice, who denied the humanity of clones. However strong in the beginning, his views finally underwent a metamorphosis the moment Kai Teck accused him of taking life despite factually wanting to safe it whenever possible, devastated by the loss of his mother and everything he knew.

-==Biography==
-===Early life===
-Braw Neck, a human male, was one day incorporated into the Jedi Order and became a padawan of a Master whose tragic death prior to 29 BBY accelerated the padawan's promotion to the rank of Knight. That unfortune case also enabled him to take his own apprentice under his wings whom Marr Chinn became in 30 BBY. Neck was also a great Dejarika player.
-===Training of Marr Chinn===
-{{Quote|One day… one day, you'll be much stronger than me. That's the order of things, an apprentice usually outdoes his master.|Braw Neck, to his Padawan Marr Chinn}}
-By reason of his master's neglect, Marr Chinn's padawan's braid was made to the wrong side of the head. However, Braw Neck shared with him a way to solve the problem, and therefore his error was overlooked.
-When Marr went indoors, he encountered him as he repaired his lightsaber manually rather than by means of the Force. The 12-year-old Padawan shared the good information before cuddling his master. The man conveyed his happiness, as well, and then sat down on his berth, where Chinn soon sat beside him. Asked whether he longed for his parents, he non-verbally admitted so, and Braw notified him that he would not be a substitute for them.
-When the two someday trained lightsaber combat in the Coruscant Jedi Temple, the Master was satisfied with his apprentice's progress. When praised, however, the boy ascribed his success to his mentor. Eventually, the Padawan lost, which imprinted on his contemporary mood. In an attempt to console the miserable boy, sad over the failure for all the exhausting training, Braw Neck assured him that with every subsequent day he became better and better, in addition to insisting that his abilities would one day outperform his own and that the process of building Coruscant took more than one day. As a support for his thesis, he showed him the sun rising out the window, casting light on the planet's landscape. The apprentice confessed that he had never thought of it this way, so the two could leave for a certain meeting.
-==Clone Wars==
-{{Quote|There were two thousand people there! You led them for a certain death!|Braw Neck, to Marr Chinn}}
-In 22 BBY, the Clone Wars broke out, a military conflict between the Galactic Republic and the Confederacy of Independent Systems. Similarly to a number of other knights, Neck was involved in fight for the Republic and came to know many clone troopers, commanding them at the rank of General.
-Six years following Chinn's promotion to Knight, Braw entered into a dispute with the boy on morality and the humanity of the very clones. The case took place directly upon the Siege of Mygeeto, during which his former apprentice allowed the death of over two hundred soldiers, only a dozen remained out of whom. Marr maintained that the mass production at the factory dehumanized clones itself and did not let his master convince him otherwise, although he originally seemed depressed with the very circumstance.
-===Order 66===
-{{Quote|We were split up during Order 66. In time, I came to think he was dead. Though maybe I was wrong.|Neck, on Chinn's alleged fate}}
-In 19 BBY, Sheev Palpatine proclaimed the Galactic Empire in place of the thus-far Republic and issued Order 66, aimed for the annihilation of all the Jedi knights. During the massacre of the Jedi, Neck and Chinn were separated from each other. Despite each survived, Braw Neck's former Padawan turned to the dark side of the Force. Having pledged himself as an Inquisitor, he strove to determine his previous master's localization and brought death to him. Likewise did Mi How, who conducted a private investigation collaterally.
-Braw Neck, as he was among a handful of survivors, chose to go to Kashmarr'k, where Gienna, a native of a nearby settlement, provided him with temporary accommodation at her house, where he lived until he had erected a clay hut for himself. Simultaneously, he demonstrated his use of the Force to her so she could believe its existence.
-===Attack on the Kashmarr'k village===
-====Support for the residents====
-{{Quote|I am Ladir… Ladir Voe. I'm this village's administrator and I demand ceasefire!|Braw Neck, in discussion with Shark}}
-In 18 BBY, Gienna informed Braw Neck of the Imperial attack on her village, interrupting him bright and early as he shaved. While originally reluctant in the fear of being recognized by the clones, he acceded to the elder woman's request, promising to distract the intruder while the villagers could run away. After the guest left, the man took his lightsaber out of a provisional drawer and cut the graying hair.
