So Baran Do Sages are not exactly fighter like Jedi Knights. But they can still learn combat methods. And in tradition their weapons are simple wooden stick, and wind made of Force.

And here's Plo Koon, Jedi and Baran Do Sage, is literally beating shit out of droid's ass.

With stick and Force.

Plo Koon is both Jedi Master and Baran Do Sage. That said, so many wizardy things happening in that god-tier, space dad-built daddy of perfection that he is. That said, body be a temple.

Some culture consider tattoos be taboo as a form of disrespecting your body while some pay tribute to their beliefs by engraving tats on their bodies.

Things to consider:

Kel Dors outside Dorin are pretty much covered up for safety reasons. If there is a hidden tat, that be hella spicy. But of all the canon Kel Dors in Legends and games, there's no indication of tattoos being part of their culture.

Part of says Plo takes pride in battlescars more than tats.

Idk if they Baran Do Sages do chants like the Night Sisters so there may not be a need for prayers/chants that I was hoping to be a possible tat or forms of tables and insignia.

Masks are clan based. So what if a specific Kel Dor Clan that also has been a part of the Baran Do Sage has tats, do they get the mask decor on their body? (I don't think so but I need visuals)

So I need this for my sanity please and thank you.

Be as descriptive as you can because I feel like I'll get an art done for this so I can sleep and not think about this too much.

KELDEORIN'YAA WORD OF THE DAY

HASSADURRA (N) - Lightning rod

KOMESSI - (PHR) - Very informal expression of sympathy, more or less "RIP, my dude."

Don't be too concerned about the dude, though. Kel' Dor survive lightning strikes. A lot.

In fact there is a whole clan on Dor'in with a name that essentially expresses "They Who Survive Lightning" - because many members of their clan (in particular) get struck and then live to tell about it.

It might be a force quirk, nobody's sure.

Many thanks to @plokoonsdisapprovingeyebrows for the Keldeorin'yaa Conlang Dictionary which you can access here:

every time i check wookieepedia for more kel dor lore I get annoyed at the bit that says the Baran Do became irrelevant after the Jedi started coming around bc like.

a) there is no way the Jedi wouldn't want to like. team up with them instead lmfao

b) the numbers also don't add up. The Jedi have like ten thousand members in Prequel times, from species across the whole galaxy. Even if you scour the wiki, there's only like three, possibly four kel dor Jedi active at that time. Even if we accept the idea that these few are the absolute most powerful force-sensitive kel dor out there, there's no fuckin way a planet/species that can support its own extensive indigenous Force tradition just abandons that tradition, just bc a literal handful of kids in every generation goes offworld to learn from a different Force tradition.

c) the Baran Do also do a slightly different thing than the Jedi - it's basically Force-aided disaster risk/resilience/management shit. The Jedi can't make them obsolete just by existing; they're filling a different need with diplomacy and averting wars and shit. Sometimes their work crosses over, but that's not enough to put them in competition.

So, my headcanon—

The Baran Do don't have the same restriction on 'must be a child to join' as the Jedi do, so they're happy to allow children who get scouted to go off and join the Jedi, on the condition that that child gets the opportunity to come back and train with the Baran Do later on if they so wish. The Jedi are perfectly happy to allow this, both in a spirit of Interfaith Cooperation and also making sure their kids get the chance to connect with their ancestral cultures. So the relationship between Baran Do and Jedi is pretty relaxed and friendly overall.

...At this point, most of the kel dor children who are given to the Jedi were actually brought to the Jedi's attention by the Baran Do, because the Force metaphorically tapped on some Sage's shoulder and went like "hey. This one would do well with the Jedi." And that Sage phoned up the Jedi Temple like "hey could u guys send someone out, there might be a baby Jedi here for u." It's treated like a celebration for both parties, there's a festival and everything. XD

Plo happened to be the Jedi sent out to collect Sha; he didn't know the kid was his niece at that point, but then the moment he stepped off the ship he was Engulfed in a surprise family reunion. His mother, Sha's grandma, is a Baran Do Sage, and she'd requested Plo directly but then kept it to herself, so the rest of the family was equally surprised and delighted lmao.

#kel dor headcanons #plo koon #mama koon's name is kssaana and she has like a thousand descendants so u can imagine that reunion was off the shits #plo's genetic dad is named aisi #but kel dor do polyandry sorta #so culturally he actually has like four dads #all five had to give permission for him to go off to the Jedi

Was rereading when the dead tree flowers (one of my all time favorites of yours), and I just wanted to say how much I love the force blank reveal in chap 11! The suddenness of the troopers realization that they can’t describe Granta, along with Quinlan’s “He’s a karking Force Blank.” It always makes me laugh. I’d love to know if you’ve ever thought of them, their dynamic would be so intriguing as a cat and mouse chase (Granta seems to lend himself to that lol) especially as Quinlan can sort of track where he’s been by feeling the absence (also not gonna lie, ever since you wrote that bit in Arcana with the Baren Do (?) sage and the way he looked through Granta, him having a relationship with a Jedi, and working out/at least addressing some of his issues of not being a force user has been on my mind.) I love rereading your works in general, the writing style is almost like a cozy blanket with how long I’ve been reading your fics!

Aww, thank you so much, that's so sweet. 💕

I actually do have a couple of WIPs with Quinlan/Granta (though I will admit a few of them have a clone tossed into the mix, because I can never resist), and they definitely would have a fun dynamic.

Fun fact: the Baran Do sage was originally going to be Plo, but I couldn't justify in my head how Plo would ever do anything but see and address Granta's insecurities, so I had to make it someone anonymous and spin out the Plo/Granta bit into its own thing. They also have a fun dynamic - very much two trolls but also Granta is a rabid dog and Plo is holding his leash and laughing about how cute he is as he snarls at people.

In the Legends continuity, Plo Koon was a member of the Baran Do sages, a Force-using group of Kel Dor. One of their techniques was "Ayna-seff," which allowed them to make their brain activity undetectable. I was thinking that that could be how Plo could have escaped being found by the Empire after being shot down.

There is no ignorance, There is knowledge

I was on TikTok last night at work and came across a video calling out how many Star Wars "fans" were complaining about the "wokeness" being introduced to the franchise, specifically citing Lizzo's glorified cameo in a single episode. Putting aside that this is a franchise has a wise and powerful character played by a freaking muppet, the TikToker (?) rightfully called out how so many of these fans never seem to actually interact with any Star Wars projects. Their opinions seem to be based entirely on their own perception of clips and images taken from the internet and pop culture.

Hence, the title, because oftentimes, consumption of the source material usually clears up any confusion as to what this franchise has always been about. With Knowledge, we diminish Ignorance

I was reminded of this yet again this morning when I got home and checked my recommendations from Google and was greeted with this monstrosity.

I know I shouldn't get worked up because this is Screenrant, and literally anyone can post anything to it. There doesn't seem to be any vetting process to this website and what it publishes. But I've been seeing more and more Jedi slander over the last few years, and I just can't keep my mouth shut (metaphorically speaking).

So let's just break this piece of garbage down.

Naturally, it's not a complaint against the Jedi unless we call them child abductors, right? Putting aside the fact that I have never seen so many incorrect statements strung together in a row like that (and this is just the first paragraph), it really emphasizes the point I'm trying to make here.

There is no perfect system in any of Star Wars, no matter what faction you're a fan of. The Jedi are no exception to this.

The Order does not kidnap nor indoctrinate children. At least not more than any other religion, political group, revolution, educational system, etc. How the Jedi refill their ranks isn't any different than how the Mandalodians recruit their foundlings or how the Clones were created by the Kaminoans. The Jedi find Force-sensitive children and (with their guardians permission where applicable) and offer them a chance to not only hone abilities that can be dangerous without proper training, but an opportunity to be a part of what is a generally revered organization throughout the galaxy, bringing peace to all those they can.

This has been explained multiple times by multiple people within multiple supplemental entries of Star Wars materiel, but there is a reason that the young are chosen to be trained instead of adults. The entire purpose of the Jedi's order is to teach their students empathy and compassion (despite what this author insinuates, saying the Jedi are "without emotion or passion") so that they don't become tyrants like the Sith or other more militant factions throughout the Galaxy.

In fact, once again in complete contradiction to what this author says, the Jedi once filled their ranks with many adult initiates, but such recruits fell to the Dark Side at a much more commensurate rate. It was because of these constant droves of Dark Jedi that the current practice of only accepting students younger than a certain age or maturity became more pronounced.

But let's move on.

Say it with me now:

"The Jedi never forced any member of its Order to forsake their heritage!"

As a matter of fact, there are multiple examples of Jedi who not only explore their birth heritage but embrace it.

Both Shaak Ti and Ahsoka Tano, as Togruta, incorporate both a Togruta sash and an akul tooth headdress into their Jedi attire

Shaak Ti actually took her padawans to her home planet for their training

Plo Koon was both a member of the Jedi High Council and the Baran Do Sages, a Force-sensitive order on his home planet

Oppo Rancisis was the son of the Blood Monarch of Thisspias and kept in contact with the royal family

A'Sharad Hett wore the traditional coverings of a Tuskan Raider

Both Luninara Unduli and Barriss Offee bore traditional Mirialan tattoos

Tarre Vizsla, the creator of the Darksaber, wore his Mandalodian armor during his time with the Order

Ki-Adi-Mundi was married!

Depa Billaba wore the marks of the Chalactan Adepts

And numerous other examples!

There has never been a tenet of the Jedi that prohibits their members from either learning of their culture (in fact, it's encouraged to do so) or to seek out their family or people. The only thing the Jedi have ever been pretty strict about in this regard is the formation of attachments. Specifically, the unstable emotions that come with such attachments and how those Jedi will do anything to retain them (i.e. Anakin Skywalker.)

This next one is a real doozy.

I have never read such garbage in my life. That's like saying, "How dare you not teach these children to be racist to their classmates because that's their family's culture!"

Once again, I understand that I shouldn't get upset because this is Screenrant, and they will post whatever click bate bullshit will get you onto their site. Rage-farming is the word, and I'm sorry to admit that I fell for it. It just infuriates me that so many people, or at least the most vocal ones, are so adamant about tarnishing the Jedi. All while usually loving characters like Vadar or Maul or any of the Mandalodians, who canonically do much worse than the Jedi ever did.

Are the Jedi perfect? No. But throughout STAR WARS, they've done the best they can within the confines of a horrific situation that they were forced into. They don't deserve this prolonged smear campaign because they don't meet the ever changing and often unrealistic standards that some people want.

Note: Sorry for the small text, but I wanted people to be able to differentiate between my words and the article.

I can't remember where or to whom I infodumped about this before, but.

I don't think balance in the Force is about equal amounts of light and dark, I think light/dark and balance/imbalance are two different metaphors for the same thing.

And since one of my two heritage cultures holds that balance cannot be achieved without justice (or vice versa), I think they're a metaphor for justice/injustice.

Jedi haters will say what they'll say, I'm not looking to convince anyone, just to share my thoughts with similar-minded people.

The Jedi are a religious order focused on light, balance, and restoring the galaxy. We see them brought in as diplomats, mediators, and righteous defenders. We also see them restricted by the largest galactic political body, which is rife with corruption and would have reason to be very concerned if the Jedi had the authority or ability to correct their injustices.

The Jedi do have multiple denominations with different codes governing how to avoid injustice in day-to-day life, but ultimately they are all in pursuit of the same goal. Denominations other than the one based in the Coruscant Temple include the Green Jedi and the Altisian Jedi.

The Sith are a religious order focused on dark, pain, suffering, and subjugating the galaxy. We see them torture people for fun, destroy lives and livelihoods, and become tyrants and dictators. We also see them take advantage of the Senate - both of their corruption and of their fear of the Jedi.

We are shown many times that the Sith and the dark side of the Force are inherently unjust, and therefore unbalanced. We see the Gray Jedi denomination who use the dark side, but while their end goal is still balance and justice, as a means, injustice inherently cannot create justice.

And then we see Jedi of all kinds constantly in the pursuit of peace and justice and helping people, refusing to compromise and use unjust means to arrive at a just end, except in the cases of such Jedi as Anakin Skywalker. They make mistakes, they are not infallible and I never see them claim to be, but the good Jedi own up to them, make restitution, and do better.

Other things that support my thoughts include the existence of non-Jedi, non-Sith orders of Force users who don't use balance or light or dark as metaphors and whose goals are neither justice nor domination. These include the Guardians of the Whills, the Baran-Do Sages, and the Witches of Dathomir (excluding the Nightsister Clan, who are shunned by other clans for largely adopting Sith teachings). Most of them simply aid and advise their people.

They (things that support) also include the repeated use of the concept of "restoring balance into the light" which only makes sense within this kind of framework.

In the end, a balance of justice and injustice would still be unjust, but a balance that is justice would necessitate there being no injustice. Thus, a balance of "light" and "dark" would still be "dark", but a balance that is "light" would necessitate there being no "dark".

But without understanding Jedi philosophy this way, by stripping the words of context and meaning, you get a contradictory statement that gray Jedi, most fallen Jedi, and most non-Jedi take at face value rather than asking for clarification or seeking to learn. And, of course, the Sith only encourage this lack of comprehension - especially from other Jedi - because it furthers their own goals.

Star Wars AU: Jedi Academy

New batch of micros for my Star Wars AU! This time around, I've made characters from the Jedi Academy video game, specifically, Jaden Korr and his class of students. While Jaden is officially a human male, the game allows the player to choose the gender and species of their choice. As such, I opted to create a batch of OCs that are centered around the various options for Jaden in the game.

from left to right;

-Jaden Korr, Jedi prodigy and hero of the Disciples of Ragnos crisis.

-Dawn Syndulla-Jarrus, Twi'lek female, daughter of Kanan Jarrus and Hera Syndulla (my personal take on a popular Rebels fanbaby).

-Rosh Penin, Human male, rival who struggles with the temptations of the Dark Side.

-Ceres Marek, Human female, daughter of Starkiller and Juno Eclipse, aspiring Jedi Beast Master.

-Opol Nok, Kel Dor male, Jedi Shadow and apprentice to the Baran Do Sages.

-Raltheran, Rodian male, apprentice to Corran Horn and Jedi Investigator (actual canon character, appearance is random).

_Oiri Reshna, Zabrak female, strives to become a Jedi Weapon Master.

*credit for my pixels here*

Full Force (Villainous Oc And Member Of The White Hat Organization)

Real Name: Ludmilla Baran DOB: February 9th Headcannon Voice Actor: Milas Kunis (English); Rebeca Gómez (Spanish) Age: Same Age As Max Sexuality: Lesbian Residence: White Hat Island (Occasionally) ; Reddingburg (Chiefly) Ethnicity: Jewish Russian-American Love Interest: Stacey (Deceased) Superpower: Has The Ability To Push Anything They Touch Abilities: Hand To Hand Combat Skills Occupation: Superhero Personality: She is a confident and assertive woman who takes great pride in her skills as a hero and is a very caring person who wants to be a superhero for the right reasons. Despite her confidence as a hero, in civilian life she can be rather dorky when it comes to romance and can fumble when it comes to flirting. She also has grown to disdain PEACE and what it is due to the fact their actions got her girlfriend killed. She has been extremely hard on herself for not only letting her girlfriend down but also her archenemesis especially due to the fact that PEACE framed Top Shield for killing her sister. She is very appreciative of White Hat of giving her an alternative to PEACE so she can still fight crime. Ever since Stacey's death, he has been protective of those she's loves and tries to do what she can to protect them. Background: She was originally a member of PEACE who protected her home city of Reddingburg and dedicated to fighting evil. That was until her girlfriend who was the sister of her archenemy, Top Shield, was used to bait the superhero and lure him out and blackmail him into reforming. Due to the faulty stability of where she was kept, it collapsed and she fell to her death. This event caused her to be angry at PEACE and decided to cut ties with them. She was then confronted by White Hat who gave her a new opportunity to find an alternative. She then became a member of the White Hat Organization and continues to fight evil while PEACE still has her as a person of interest. * She keeps a locket of her and Stacey together. * She is very proud of her Jewish heritage and keeps her Jewish tradition alive. * She says a lot of Yiddish terms. * She donates and supports a lot of Jewish charities, events, and schools. * She tries to keep taps on her family. * She has encountered both Max and Chi Sage before. * She is named after her great-great-grandmother. * Just like Miss Heed, people thought her power wasn't that remarkable until she showed what she could do. * She was a canidate for the Golden Rule but rejected.

I'd like to request Yaim Cabur for WIP Wednesday please

Thank you!

Jango looked down at him. First question first, “What did you do to me?” “I undid some rather nasty Force compulsions,” the Jedi said. “As best I could, under the circumstances. You should see a proper mind healer.” “More Jedi,” Jango snarled. “There are other Force sects,” the Jedi said, “If you could get a Baran Do sage – or, if you don’t count them as Jedi, you could go to Jedha.”
