Character Information:

Character Name: Yoda
Age: 898
Canon:  Star Wars (OT)
Appearance: Yoda's a tiny, wrinkly, green, toad-like creature. So he's quite the stud. Really.

Personality:

If I could sum Yoda up in two words they would be wise and kindhearted. If I could use a third it would be green.

With great age comes great wisdom and this is Yoda’s greatest weapon, but all weapons can be turned against their user. His wisdom was his greatest failure and Yoda will admit that… if that’s what you need to hear. Not what you think you need to hear, but what you actually need to hear. You see, Yoda knows these things.

In many ways Yoda separates himself from the people around him by creating a certain air of mystique, while maintaining a close bond with them at the same time. He’s an incredibly warm individual but no one ever really knows what it is that’s going through his mind.

Don’t let his warm personality fool you though. In the last few years of his long life he’s become a bit of a grouch. Being completely alone for 20 or so years (wait, is that Galen I see?) can have that effect on someone. He’s old, he’s grumpy and he’s tired. Yoda is wearing down and he knows it. Most importantly he accepts it.

Yoda’s got a rotten and cheesy sense of humor that he simply revels in it. He loves accomplishing his goals with whacky antics as much as with a word of wisdom or a theatrical display of prowess. In a way he likes to pretend he’s someone else for brief periods of time. It’s entertainment for entertainment’s sake. He’s lived for so long that really irking people and harmlessly misleading them for a while helps to keep him sane. It even doubles as a way for him to analyze someone.

Yoda is and always will be a teacher at heart. Passing on what he has learned is his sole-purpose in life and he takes great pride in his students. Nothing pleases him more than to see them grow into the people they were meant to be. He’s walked his path. Now it’s time to guide others along their own.

Background: If want to learn about me you do... here, you must go. I'll be taking Yoda from sometime prior to his meeting Luke Skywalker in The Empire Strikes Back, but not more than a year before. I've always preferred the old wizard portrayal of Yoda more than the cunning warrior-monk he was in the prequels. He's also funnier this way...

Special Abilities or Weapons: IT'S OVER NINE THOUSAAAAAAAAND! Ahem, aside from Luke Skywalker and Revan Yoda is pretty much the most powerful Jedi to ever exist. He's got all of the typical skills a Jedi has but even better AND he's got some hidden abilities. He's dabbled in the dark arts (zomg nowai!) and is  a phenomenal swordsmen, specializing in the Ataru form. He's a master diplomat and strategist as well.

Sect: Jedi

Job: Consular/Guardian/Sentinal. He's been alive long enough for it to work XD

Samples:

First Person:
[The video feed suddenly comes to life and a small, green and wrinkled creature can be seen. He speaks in a high pitched voice and appears almost senile.]

Old this machine is. Older than me, heh heh! Play with it I will! Urgh!

[Suddenly the image shown zooms in on the creatures eye as if he is peering into the innards.]

Oooh!

[The light on the device turns on, startling the creature into dropping it onto the floor and angering him. The creature's small foot is now stomping on the video recorder.]

Scared me you did! No! No more scaring will you do today!

[The screen turns to static.]

Third Person:

Yoda sat on the stump of a damp tree meditating, his eyes closed against the damp air. He sighed as he reached out with his sense, trying to find some inkling of what turmoil he had left the galaxy in. He huffed and opened his eyes, resolving to try again later.

With a grunt he removed himself from stump and picked up his damp gimer stick. "Peh," he exclaimed and furiously wiped his now damp hand on his already damp robe. "Peh," he exclaimed again and began to hobble towards his small hut, his small feet rustling the ground beneath them.

Entering the small hut he took in a deep breath, enjoying the scent of the stew he had left sitting on the fire. He gave a modest laugh and made his way over to it. He ladled some into a crude bowl and used a crude spoon to sip on it with. With a loud grunt he sat on a minuscule chair and continued eating.

When he was finished he put the bowl down on a table and looked around, a small grin creeping onto his face. "Soon," he said with a nod. "Yes, soon." The ancient Jedi Master stood, took hold of his gimer stick and began to make his way back to the damp stump so he could close his eyes against the damp air and meditate on the days to come once again.

Anything Else: Gizka and Corellian Brandy hmm? Wonderful stew that would make. Try it I will.
