Appearance: Aldous certainly looks his age, or even older, due to his gray(ing) head and facial hair.

His personal choice of neutral colored robes reveal a lot about his beliefs of the Force and his passive lifestyle. However, Aldous's gray eyes show his true, warm self with even the briefest of glances.

Background: Even from an early age Aldous Atticus knew his place in the galaxy and the significance of his life. It started with the Jedi Order. As was common during this time, Aldous was taken from his family at a very early age to be trained by the Jedi in their temple on Coruscant. At first Aldous didn't meet the presumptions of the High Council, who, judging by his affinity for the Force, thought that Aldous would advance very early on in his training. After several years of apprenticeship, however, Aldous finally lived up to his expectations.

It was only a short time before Aldous was given the rank of Jedi Knight and was allowed on the front lines some years after the beginning of the Great Galactic War. However, even with all of his prowess in battle, Aldous and the rest of the Jedi Order, as well as the Galactic Republic, suffered several heavy losses for most of the war. While the Sith onslaught seemingly couldn't be stopped, Aldous continued to fight throughout many of the battles, narrowly avoiding death on almost every occasion. However, this wasn't what haunted him most: the death of the troops around him did. Aldous was eventually awarded for his continued support throughout the war and was named a Jedi Master.

Fortunately, Aldous wasn't on Coruscant at the time of the Sacking of Coruscant, but he could still feel the deaths of all those lost through the Force. The Treaty of Coruscant took place concurrently with the fall of the Temple and Aldous fell into a state of disrepair. Surprisingly enough, Aldous was soon placed on the High Council of the Jedi Order as a Junior member which strengthened his resolve. Whether this was a clever, sympathetic move by the Jedi to keep him from doing anything rash or an actual sign of his prominence within the Order remained unknown to Aldous, though the Jedi would continue to assure him that it was the latter.

Very good, you are approved. I only want to specify, what that 'aura of tranquility' of yours is exactly? Sounds much like Battle Mediation. Are you planning to add it to your Force powers later then?

I had planned on it only affecting Sith; no troops or anything like that. Looking back on it now, it does seem much like Battle Meditation. Perhaps the word "extreme" is what gives it away.

About me being the Jedi practitioner of Battle Meditation, are we only allowed to use it if we're away from battle? or are we allowed to us it in the midst of battle? If it's the former, I won't take it. If it's the latter, I will. Also, if you need me to remove what's in my special skills, I can do so.

Battle Meditation cannot be used when fighting personally, so yes, we must be away from battle.

And again, I am afraid that aura will have to be either removed or changed. Special skills are meant to be not your character's unique Force abilities but... well, skills like ability to speak several alien languages, hack computers, repair droids\machinery, etc. Summing up, inspiring your allies is good, but the 'aura of tranquility' should be edited.

That is completely all right. It is now edited.
