Summary: Baves finds himself on the people who helped shaped who he is today. From a padawan to a knight, from the Clone Wars to the Rebellion.

AN: Written for @celebrate-the-clone-wars prompt Those who raised you

Baves looked at himself in the mirror and sighed a little bit. He could see the exhaustion on his face. He’s not sure he would have wanted anyone else to have had impacts on his life.

Master Arif Bageeh probably had the biggest influence. The man was a mirakula jedi master who not only made certain everyone’s opinions were heard but also made sure that no matter what everyone knew that he would try to support them. Arif was the person who had dropped everything to try to find him when he managed to get lost. He was the man who showed him that even though jedi were being called to fight, that there was sometimes another option. He was the man who could find him sitting on top of a walker and just hold him after a rough battle. He was the closest thing Baves ever had to a father. And that’s why the clothes he wears have some of the same colors that Arif Bageeh wore.

Shade was a clone trooper. He was specifically a scout but that didn’t matter. Shade was the clone who had walked up to him pretty much after every training session with some kind of snack in hand. Shade was the person who taught him how to move quietly without being seen no matter the environment. Shade was the person who didn’t judge him for being afraid; even after Master Bageeh told him that it was okay to get scared. Shade was the one who showed him that moving forward doesn’t have to mean moving on alone.  Baves got a matching tattoo to Shade’s. Shade had the word vod tattooed on his right shoulder. Baves got the matching one when he was twenty, he got the word vod tattooed on his right shoulder, so that he could never forget who he had been. 

Shiro Isiabill was a fellow padawan who had survived Order 66. Shiro helped teach him more lightsaber forms. Shiro also showed him that sometimes being a Jedi was something could be shown by just helping everyone in whatever way you can. Shiro wasn’t much older than Baves and yet he made it clear that sometimes the old ways were wrong, and that they still had value. 

Aura’krazi was probably the most headstrong jedi he’s ever met. She saw patience as something that could be an afterthought in a fight, and yet she made it the most important part of her day after Order 66. She knew war was hard, and she knew that they deserved to be kids too, so she let both him and Nu just do that. They were kids on Alderaan. They were safe, and she made sure that they were safe. From Aura he learned that sometimes in a fight he can’t be patient first, but that he should always give a child a chance to be a child. And that giving a child a safe haven is more important than any fight he could take on.

Matahd Sa was many things. To call him a mentor would be wrong. To call him a friend would also be wrong. Matahd Sa was a hero to many people. To the Empire, he was possibly their most dangerous enemy to hold two lightsabers. To Baves? He was a role model. Matahd stood up and kept fighting, maybe not for the right reasons initially, but for reasons none the less. Matahd got him into the rebellion, more importantly, though, Matahd got him to find a purpose that could help more people. Sure Baves could have been content to just live a quiet life. He could have been an archivist and content, but now he travels the galaxy. People know his name and know they can ask him for help. Matahd showed him that while people can recognize your name, they should also be able to recognize your actions. From Mat, he learned how to be his genuine self, and that is a lesson Baves can never forget.

For better or worse they taught him, shaped him, and in some cases raised him. They made him who he is today. Tired, broken, but strong enough to stand and smile. They made him kind even when being kind hurt. They made him a jedi. 

“If you’re done staring at yourself in the mirror, we have work to do. According to Fulcrum, there are still several empire strongholds that need to be taken out.” A familiar voice spoke.

“How would you know I’m staring in the mirror?” He carefully rebraided a section of his hair hidden by his hood. “You’re not even looking at me.”

“I know what you do when you’re lost in your head, little one.” The man responded gently. “Come on Baves, what were you thinking about?”

“Family, old man. I was thinking about family.” He smiled at the grey-haired man, “After you.”

Comprehensive List of Force Users

Jedi Masters

Hu Aszong

Titles: High General, General, Jedi Master

Bio: A Kel Dor Jedi who has trained several Jedi before his padawan, Aurak’razi. Hu is a thoughtful man, whose lessons are not always what his headstrong padawan wants to hear. His age brought him a lot of patience to put up with a great deal and he often finds that being patient eventually means they will learn. He is not often one for a practical joke, though when the mood strikes him, he can become a menace to whoever chooses to enter the same room as him. Hu specializes in healing through the force which makes him perfect for dealing with headstrong padawans who get hurt a great deal. One of hu’s other padawans was none other than Almenia Costa.

Pavi Bevu Dooku

Titles: High General, General, Jedi Master, Countess of Sereno

Bio: A half Zabrak half Human Jedi Master who, by accident, is a second-generation Jedi Master. Her mother was half Iridonian and half Dathomirian, leading to Pavi getting the traditional Nightbrother Tattoos that were her blood right as an infant. She was apprenticed to Yan Dooku, partially out of Dooku’s guilt for what happened to her mother and partially because he wanted to train her so she could be the best Jedi she could possibly be. She lost both of her arms to an explosion as a padawan and had to relearn how to do most things relating to fighting and day to day actions. She trained Jedi Knights Alana Oreson and Ramirhe Jacora. She primarily teaches lightsaber combat forms to younglings and padawans in the Jedi temple. Pavi is a very centered Jedi who is more likely to have fun than people give her credit for. She spends a great deal of time keeping tabs on Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi and the antics he has gotten himself into

Jaan Kuran

Titles: High General, General, Jedi Master

Bio: A Human Jedi Master who ended up taking on Matahd Sa as her third padawan. She is not the first Jedi to pick a fight and tends to be more relaxed when it comes to padawans. She is a fairly calm and relaxed Jedi who is willing to take the time to bring out the best in anyone, no matter how long it takes and no matter how odd it looks.

Arif Bageeh

Titles: High General, General, Jedi Master

Bio: A Mirakula Jedi Master who trained two padawans before Baves Urety. Arif spent much of his time before the clone wars traveling the galaxy to learn more about the force, which included spending several years on Dathomir between his first two padawans, as a result, sometimes when he uses the force it resembles Daothmirian magiks. Arif is very open about his feelings when it comes to his padawans. He is a bit less open about his relationship with fellow Jedi Master, Jaro Tapal, but that is a consequence of his time as a jedi. Even though Arif is blind, as all Mirakula are, he can still see through the force and specializes in force visions. He is a talented fighter who uses a dual bladed green lightsaber, though due to his relationship with Jaro Tapal, they often switch lightsabers to the point that some of his padawans don’t know which lightsaber is actually his. Arif had an almost eternally optimistic outlook that only shattered when he was around Jaro Tapal, or if his padawan was not present. Over the years he has collected a surprising amount of random skills, including fixing droids, ships, first aid, and how to mix drinks.

Almenia Costa

Titles: High General, General, Jedi Master, Hero of Corellia

Bio: She was a Togruta Jedi master who only trained Matahd Sa as her padawan. She spent much of her time arguing over little things with her padawan though cared deeply about him. She specialized in using shatterpoints in the force during lightsaber combat, and she had hoped that her particular specialization would help her teach Matahd how to let go of other’s emotions. Almenia was very proud of her padawan and was always willing to brag to any Jedi who would listen. She ended up dying over Corellia and left behind a holocron, lightsaber hilt, and robe for her padawan.

Jedi Knights

Alana Oreson

Titles: Jedi Knight

Bio: A half Mirilian half Human Jedi Knight who mostly helps with the younglings. She is a highly skilled healer who does not often go out into fights, finding she can help more in the temple, healing the many Jedi who get hurt during the course of the war. Much like her master, she is very calm and patient, though if the need arises she is a skilled duelist who is not to be trifled with. Alana often lets herself get roped into pranks lead by padawans and younglings against other Jedi Knights. She has considered taking on a padawan several times but never committed.

Ramirhe Jacora

Titles: General, Jedi Knight, Count of Clan Jacora

Bio: A Human who comes from Concordia. His family is a long line of proud mandalorians, and while he has read a great deal about them, he has only been to his home Star System twice. Ramirhe is a headstrong and selfless Jedi who would much rather put himself in danger than anyone else. He lost his left leg as a young knight protecting Senator Alyeil Laygos. Ramirhe, like his master, is a skilled duelist though he finds most of his comfort in a starfighter where it is less likely he will have an issue with his prosthetic leg. He has a mixed relationship with his origins, and he tries not to talk about it. Though his men all know that he is fluent in Mando’a and he does wear some pieces of traditional mandalorian armor as a part of his Jedi robes. Ramirhe ended up marrying Alyeil about three years before the Clone Wars began, and his marriage is pretty well hidden for the most part (though if you ask his Commander it’s as plain as day). He did train one other padawan before taking on Aubewem. His previous padawan barely becoming a Knight 2 years into the Clone Wars.

Ses Hasai

Titles: General, Jedi Knight

Bio: A Mon Calimari Jedi Knight who specializes in underwater combat. Ses is a fairly cheerful Jedi who is often found meditating or swimming if he can find a body of water that will allow him to swim in. 

Jedi Padawans

Matahd Sa

Titles: General, Commander, Jedi Padawan, Jedi Knight, Jedi Master, Hero of Corellia, High General of the Rebellion, Vassal of House Organa

Bio: A Togruta Jedi Padawan who was first apprenticed to Almenia Costa, and then to Jaan Kuran. Matahd is too aware of other’s emotions to the point of it being overwhelming. As a youngling, he would sometimes lose focus on himself and see either what was happing to someone he was closed to or what might happen to someone he was close to. He often argued with his master, Almenia Costa about little things that in truth didn’t matter, though he did respect her. At the beginning of the clone wars he watched as his master and most of his men died in a fight over Corellia. He ended up barely winning the fight, though it almost cost him his life. As a result, any of his surviving men stayed in his command and were called the Corellia 200. He tends to be more reserved and he’s less likely to do something without thinking it through. He also refuses to send people into dangerous situations knowing it might get them killed. At some point, he realizes he has a crush on Clone Commander Eagle, though during the war he never admits this. With Jaan Kuran as his master, he was allowed to hop around different battle assignments to go where he was either most needed or to assist some of the Jedi he knows personally, his preference being Obi-Wan Kenobi or Anakin Skywalker. None of the Corellia 200 call him Commander Sa, they all call him General Sa even though he’s tried to get them to stop since he never makes it an order they don’t have to listen to him.

Shiro Isiabill

Titles: Commander, Jedi Padawan, Jedi Knight, Ambassador of Alderaan

Bio: A Human Jedi Padawan apprenticed to Plo Koon. Shiro was apprenticed to Plo Koon after personally traveling to Dorin to meet with his new master. Plo Koon agreed to take him on as his padawan. He seems to have an uncanny ability to find anything beautiful about a planet he goes to so long as he has had some time to sit down and meditate for a few minutes. Shiro isn’t necessarily likely to argue with his master, but he is very likely to question his master’s choices, mostly because he wants to understand why he is doing something. Shiro is a better pilot than he is a duelist, and as a result, he spends a lot of his time learning how to duel better. At some point, he realizes he has feelings for fellow padawan, Aurak’razi, and the two begin a hesitant relationship. This relationship is one that his master likely suspected even if the two never directly addressed the matter.

Aurak’razi

Titles: Commander, Jedi Padawan, Jedi Knight

Bio: A Twi’lek Jedi Padawan apprenticed to Hu Aszong. She is headstrong and is not afraid to voice her opinion when she believes older Jedi are wrong, though mostly this shows up with her arguing over choices her fellow padawan, Matahd Sa, made personally. Aura has a gift for befriending animals and people alike, even if she rarely uses it to her advantage. At some point, she realized that she had feelings for fellow padawan, Shiro Isiabill, and the two began a hesitant relationship.

Sari Nebi Dendup

Titles: Apprentice, Jedi Padawan, Commander, Princess of Onderon, Queen of Onderon

Bio: A Human Jedi Padawan, former Sith Apprentice, apprenticed to Obi-Wan Kenobi. A princess and heir to the throne of Onderon in the Japrael system, she was given to the temple by her parents as a toddler. Two years into her time at the temple, she was kidnapped by the Dark Jedi, Xanatos. As his apprentice, she learned the ways of the dark side and received some sith tattoos on her forehead and cheek. After Anakin Skywalker became a Jedi Knight, Obi-Wan had an encounter with the young Sari and managed to convince her to give up the fight. Obi-Wan talked her down from being a sith and she agreed to become his padawan. Shortly after, Obi-Wan and Sari had another encounter with Xanatos, leading to Obi-Wan getting knocked out. Sari killed her former master, leading to Obi-Wan being disappointed, though not surprised. Sari is primarily closed off and hesitant to trust people, though she does start to make an effort to be more open to the 212th, leading to a friendship with Waxer and Boil.

Baves Urety

Titles: Commander, Jedi Padawan, Jedi Knight, General

Bio: A half Mirilian half Mirakula Jedi Padawan apprenticed to Arif Bageeh. Baves is a fairly optimistic padawan, even if he sometimes stumbles because of his fear. He often feels safest near his master or within arms reach of any clones. He often acts like a little shadow. Given the right encouragement, Baves could be an excellent healer, though he rarely applies this as a skill. In high-pressure situations when he isn’t near someone he finds familiar, he will often panic or drift into an emotional state where he isn’t in full control, and instead of using the force he gets used by it. Most of the time, he spends his free time with Shade, pulling pranks on Commander A’doxx or learning what he can from the clones.

Aubewem

Titles: Commander, Jedi Padawan, Inquisitor

Bio: A Rattataki Jedi Padawan apprenticed to Ramirhe Jacora. She is a talented force user who has made it clear that she wants to learn from her new master. Sometimes she is very impatient and doesn’t often consider the multitude of reasons she might not be allowed to do something, instead she is likely to challenge her master, something he allows because it provides him with an opportunity to turn it into a learning situation. Eventually, Aubewem gets captured by the empire and spends over a decade as an Inquisitor until an encounter with Matahd Sa where he manages to talk her down and get her back to Ramirhe Jacora, where she relearns how to use the light side of the force.

Uneyu Sum

Titles: Commander, Jedi Padawan

Bio: A Nautolan Jedi Padawan apprenticed to Ses Hasai. She is very sweet and would rather spend her time listening to stories that people could tell than learning how to fight. She spends a great deal of time learning how to assess battles in 3-D environments, which includes underwater combat training- her least favorite task.

Other Force Users

Rosahi Tos

Bio: A Cathar who eventually meets Cal Kestis and gets trained by him. Rosahi was adopted by Greez, where they learned not only how to smuggle, but gamble as well. Rosahi’s unique ability to see shatterpoints in any situation makes them a formidable combatant, and often times it won’t even look like they did anything severe to a person.

Shosh’mebe

Titles: Commander

Bio: A Twi’lek who gets adopted by Eagle and Matahd Sa. She gets trained by Mat in both lightsaber combat and how to use the force. She is a skilled lightsaber combatant, who like her adopted father, opts to use two lightsabers in a fight.

Saseli Laygos Jacora

Titles: Countess of Clan Jacora

Bio: A Human Force user and the daughter of Ramirhe Jacora and Senator Alyeil Laygos born a few months after Order 66. Saseli was trained by her father in combat and in use of the force, though she later chooses to walk away from that and becomes the Countess of Clan Jacora House Kryze.

Tavidal Laygos Jacora

Titles: Ambassador of Lothal, Senator of Lothal, Commander

Bio: A Human Force user and the son of Ramirhe Jacora and Senator Alyeil Laygos born two years before the fall of the Republic. Tavidal was also trained in combat by his father, and uses a great deal of force persuasion in politics as he follows in his mother’s footsteps and becomes a senator under the name Tavidal Laygos. He does get involved with the rebellion and briefly is known as Commander Mirhe Jacora.

Jinn Nebi Dendup

Titles: Prince of Onderon, General

Bio: A Human Force User and the son of Queen Sari Nebi Dendup and Boil, born sometime after the fall of the Empire. Jinn ends up getting trained in the force by Aubewem, to his mother’s eternal amusement and dismay. Much like his mother, he is very sure of himself and will often do what he thinks is right, even if he’s not.
