It's fine. The operational cameras are around the guard station and the cages.

Not much help, is it. No Jedi there?

And the Force is capitalized.

No prob, editing

Corellian is a nationality, not a species. And since you're referring to personalized equipment, I'll need a gear list as well.

Just to let you know, both Form III and Form V rely on two handed grips on the lightsaber.

EDIT: Fixed now, thanks to a conversation via IM with the GM. Character sheet is now updated with focus on Niman (Type VI) style of lightsaber combat.

That's right. You all know it's true.

Name: Riv Sivrak
Race: Shistavanen
Occupation: Jedi

Height: 5'10"
Weight: 180 lbs
Gender: Male
Age: 28
Eyes: Brown
Fur: Copper

Languages: Shistavanen, Basic, Shyriiwook, Huttese
Fragmented Languages: Mandalorian, Sith

Description: Riv is average height for his species, though slightly thicker from his extensive physical exertions which have made him very strong. Riv,like all of his species, is covered completely in thick fur, in his case in a copper tone. Riv Sivrak's movements outside of battle are minimalist and well thought out, favoring careful control over brash speed. Riv wears clothing in the style of a Jedi, though his are colored mainly in grays and whites over the brown that is common among jedi.

Force Skills: Riv's personal philosophy on the Force has come through well in the skills he has developed. Riv believes that to become one with the Force, one must first become one with oneself. To this end Riv has become proficient in having the Force assist his strength, speed, dexterity, accuracy, senses, and other physical requirements including hiding himself from the senses. Additionally, Riv has begun to practice the healing arts and what he calls a Battle Trance.

Lightsaber forms:

Riv Sivrak's focus on himself as a Force user, he has spent much of his time focusing on his skill with a lightsaber, so while his more flashy abilities with the force are nowhere near as developed as other Jedi of his skill, he is far more skilled with a lightsaber. He has dabbled in many of the lightsaber arts, and so has a passing ability and recognition of such forms, but he has two of which he has spent the majority of his time.

Form V: Djem So. Riv's main form now. His constant training has given him a great strength and speed which he feels is best suited with this form.
Form IV: Ataru. Riv's beginning style, he still uses it in dire circumstances and when he feels the variation while give him an important advantage.

Lightsaber: Riv Sivrak has a somewhat unique lightsaber. Somewhat thicker than normal to allow a better grip, and also about half a foot longer than the usual lightsaber handle. The handle carries markings from his language engraved on the surface. The green crystal inside it is one that he found in Jolee Bindo's old hut on Kashyyyk's surface.

Non-Combat Skills: The Shistavanen are renowned across the galaxy as trackers and hunters, and Riv's skills with the force only enhance this ability. As such Riv is also very stealthy. His inborn patience makes him a good negotiator and trainer. Riv has also studied deeply on the more philosophical portions of the Force and universe at large. He has average skills with technology and mechanics, but nothing to brag about.

History: From the time he was a pup, Riv Sivrak knew he was destined for better things. His father and mother were both diplomats for the Shistavanen, and though he was born on Uvena III, he spent much of his life on tour of the galaxy. It was while on what was supposed to be a brief stop on Dantooine that Riv was noticed by the local Jedi population. It took a great deal of convincing for Riv's family to leave him behind to be trained, but the greatness of their son possibly becoming a Jedi was not easy to overlook, and so they left their child to train. Riv was 11.

When the Mandalorian War broke out eight years later, Riv was among those who believed the Jedi should get involved. He was still an apprentice however, and his master, an Alderaanian, stayed out of the fighting while Revan and Malek led the charge against the Mandelorians. Riv was tempted briefly to leave anyway, but patience won out over teenage bravado and he stayed to finish his training.

When the Sith War broke out four years later, the old masters had been proven right. The actions of Revan and Malek had led to their downfall. Freshly done with his apprenticeship, Riv applied himself to the war with fervor, though he was mostly assigned to guard duty, at the beginning of the war he experienced combat numerous times as the Republic was repeatedly pushed back. When the Jedi enclave at Dantooine was destroyed, and Riv's old master with it, the Shistavanen took it hard and retreated into himself for reflection. With the end of the war and the revelation that Revan had returned to the light side to help the Republic to victory, Riv took another blow. What was truth anymore? The Jedi had always taught him strict guidelines on how to live and how to act, but they were practically gone now, and their strict enforcements had lead to their downfall. There had to be some other way.

Riv Sivrak disappeared for several years then, digging deeply into Jedi philosophy and following in the footsteps of Revan, or more precisely, his ally Jolee Bindo, who had himself forsworn the Jedi ways while never falling to the influence of the Dark Side. Riv Sivrak travelled across the galaxy, earning his way onto ships through odd jobs, learning new ways of life, new languages, and new things about the force. He visited such places as Kashyyyk where he managed to reach Jolee Bindo's old home, and Korriban where he managed to pick up some of the Sith language. He still hasn't met up with Jolee Bindo, but he doesn't feel he is up to that task just yet.

Personality: Riv has a great deal of control over himself, despite his non-strict adherence to the Jedi Code. The Shistavanen has fallen in love once or twice, but nothing lasting so far. It is hard to get a reaction of surprise out of Riv, even on the occasions where he is surprised, as he always mediates his movements and actions. During battle is one of the few times that Riv ever lets loose, and even then it isn't by much. Riv is friendly but guarded around new people, though he warms up quickly to people he has known for longer.

Gear: Lightsaber, datapad, cortosis weave vibrosword, reinforced jedi outfit, normal jedi outfit.

Lady T neglected to edit her post when I told her there was no guardshack. There was merely two guys on post, who aren't there anymore. There's a small station further in the Pit proper.

Neophyte does not mean unstoppable killing machine who may rack up huge numbers of kills each post merely because the other side is mooks. I have been consistent on this point. Killing them is fine, hog wild is not.

Just to be clear, the Mark VII doesn't have a lot of range by the standards of huge, overpowered blaster rifles with little recoil. That of course means it has plenty of range for city fighting, although it is a heavy bitch.
