Re: Bastila Shan | Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic
Character name: Bastila Shan
Canon: Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic, the first video game
Canon point:
I plan on starting from Dantooine. That is after Taris, but before Tatooine, Kashyyk, Manaan, Korriban, Darth Malak's flagship the Leviathon, the unnamed planet of the Elders, and the Star Forge. It is the year 3956 BBY when she is pulled in. However, she does not know that.
Physical Description:
https://goo.gl/images/WLJ9VJ
Bastila is a human female. She has brown hair and blue eyes. She is around five foot and six inches tall (that is a guess based on her age, gender, and species). She is 23 years old (sources vary her age between 18 and 26 years).
About the Character:
Bastila is from a world called Talravin. She, like most women, has a rocky relationship with her mother. She adored her father, who was a treasure hunter. She blames her mother for being forced to leave him, and for his quest for wealth. Her father and mother were away a lot, and she showed a strong affinity for the Force early on, so her mother sent her to the Jedi for training. Her father died on an expedition; he was killed by a Krayt Dragon on Tatooine. She does not now that her father sought treasure because her mother was/is gravely ill.
Bastila is a Jedi Sentinel, who has received her knighthood only recently. A sentinel balances the mundane fighting skills with the more abstract Force skills. She led the strike force that defeated the Sith Lord Revan, but they only captured him after Darth Malak fired on his master’s ship. She saved Revan’s life, but the Jedi wiped his memory, and he no longer remembers who he is. One year later, Bastila and Revan are on the ship Endar Spire. The ship is attacked and the remaining crew are forced to take escape pods to the planet Taris, which lies below them. Bastila is captured by the Black Vulkar Gang. Carth and Revan recruit Mission, Zaalbar, and Canderous to assist in retrieving her and escaping. After escaping Taris, she and Revan and Carth and the others go to Dantooine to see the Jedi Council. The Jedi Council sends them, and their newest ally Juhani, to investigate some ruins. They find a Star Map that, when they obtain all of the pieces, will lead them to the Star Forge. The group (Bastila, Revan, Carth, Mission, Zaalbar, Canderous, and Juhani) all set out for Tatooine, Kashyyk, Korriban, and Manaan. They go to these planets/worlds because they are shown on the Star Map. After visiting several planets, the crew of the Leviathon captures Bastila and her group. She stays behind to let the others escape. Darth Malak tortures her, she falls to the dark side. Revan eventually finds her on the Star Forge. However, Bastila never gets that far, at least not yet.
Bastila flirts with Carth and with Revan. However, she believes the Jedi Council’s teaching that Jedi Knights should not fall in love. At least she does right now, that may change as time goes on. Ultimately, she falls in love with and marries Revan after the first video game. She may fall in love with someone here!
Bastila is very arrogant. Her skill with the lightsaber and the unique power of Battle Meditation have gone to her head. However, she is cautious, and does not take too many unnecessary risks. This caution and her history may be part of why she is slow to trust. She especially keeps a watchful eye on Revan, no matter how many good deeds he does. She also does not trust Carth completely, though he is a devoted soldier of the Republic. She does not believe anyone can command as well as she can, again with the arrogance and trust issues. She is very civilized and polite to others, though perhaps a touch sarcastic. She treats the Jedi Masters with respect, but does not always listen to the advice of others. She is basically a good person, and would never harm another being without good reason. She seems to care about others and speaks up if the people she is around are doing evil. She protects those who are weak, but she also sees herself as superior to those who cannot control the Force. Bastila is naturally curious, and is always asking questions. She also likes to explain things, and does not like admitting when she does not know something. She knows that she is intelligent.
Bastila’s arrogance, superiority, and self-centeredness are her downfall when she is captured and tortured by Darth Malak, which does not happen until well after Dantooine. The prolonged torture, her Persian flaw (arrogance), and her connection to Revan (when she saved his life and helped wipe his memory) all lead her to fall to the dark side. Revan is her salvation. On the Star Forge, he spares her life and convinces her to make amends for her actions by supporting the Republic again and doing good. She turns back to the light side. They defeat Malak together, receive a heroes’ victory celebration, and eventually marry.

Abilities:
Bastila has the rare force ability called Battle Meditation, so she can encourage her allies and demoralize her foes to sway the course of a battle. She also has Force Sense, Force Stun, Force Persuasion, and Force Wave. However, she is obviously most proud of her Battle Meditation. Force sense is not telepathy, but it is similar to empathy and foresight; it is knowing how people feel and anticipating good or evil ahead (though not knowing exactly what form it might take). Force stun stops an opponent in his or her tracks and renders him or her motionless. Force persuasion is the famous Jedi mind trick. Force wave is a push or pull effect; it is similar to telekinesis.
In addition to her Force powers, Bastila is very skilled with a lightsaber. She is strong and intelligent. She has a good sense of direction. She knows hand-to-hand combat and ranged weapons (blasters and bows) as well, but is not as skilled at those (not that she would admit that).
Inventory:
One double-bladed yellow lightsaber her weapon of choice)
Clothing in the standard brown of the Jedi, though a little more revealing than the usual Jedi garb
A handful of various grenades (two stun, three fragment, two poison, etc.)
A double-edged vibrosword
Two small blaster pistols
A cardio-regulator belt that boosts her constitution
Four Echani shields (advanced personal shields)
A neural band (prevents mind control)
