Le Rallye d'Alek

Damar se pencha contre un pilier, et regarda autour de lui tant d'autres qui avaient élevé leurs sabres. Certains reconnaissaient, et savaient être considérés par la plupart aussi impulsifs que Revan et Alek. Il savait que d'autres étaient plus sages, mais ils s'occupaient de la justice, de la protection des innocents. D'autres encore ont simplement été balayés par l'énergie de la foule, ne pensant pas clairement, seulement porté par la marée des émotions tout autour d'eux. La Force était épaisse avec elle, ce qui ne devrait pas l'être, pas dans les salles du Haut Conseil.
"Il n'y a pas d'émotion, il y a la Paix." Damar se dit lui-même, avant qu'il ne repousse la colonne et ne commence à faire son chemin à travers la foule. Il se brouillait rarement contre qui que ce soit, bien que ses yeux ne soient concentrés que sur Alek et Revan; il semblait toujours savoir quand changer son pas, ou tourner légèrement son épaule, pour éviter de tomber dans les autres. Bientôt, il sortit de la foule et se tint au bas de l'escalier, regardant les deux qui avaient porté cet appel aux armes ensemble.
"Knight Alek, je ne veux pas manquer de respect," il a commencé, avec un léger arc de la tête, "Mais comment proposez-vous d'arrêter les Mandaloriens? Pour travailler avec la République comme notre Ordre l'a depuis si longtemps, pour se défendre contre les agresseurs, je pense que ces choses sont justes et vraies. Mais pour combattre une guerre, ne serait-ce pas pour apporter le même carnage à nos ennemis qu'ils ont apporté à d'autres mondes? Si nous devions couper les Mandaloriens sans pitié sur un champ de bataille, cela ne irait-il pas contre le Code Jedi? Même eux, aussi brutaux et mauvais que leurs actions aient été, méritent d'être traités honorablement -- n'est-ce pas? » Il a appelé à haute voix pour faire entendre sa voix. Ses paroles ont pu sembler un défi, mais ce qu'il voulait vraiment, c'était entendre les plans d'Alek et de Revan. Il ne ferait pas de jugement si tôt, pas sans plus d'informations. Il avait longuement parlé avec son Maître, mais il n'avait jamais entendu ce côté de l'histoire des initiateurs. Il espérait seulement que, si ses paroles étaient prises de la mauvaise façon - comme elles l'étaient souvent -, cela ne conduirait pas à une nouvelle escalade de l'émotion. À l'heure actuelle, il pouvait sentir une colère palpable venant de Revan, et une jubilation d'Alek alors que l'homme regardait l'agitation dans la foule que son discours avait causé. Tous deux étaient de jeunes hommes talentueux et ambitieux... mais une chute du côté obscur pouvait arriver à n'importe qui, peu importe leurs capacités. Peut-être même plus facilement, plus on était assuré dans leur immunité à elle.

Appearance:

Personality:
Damar is inquisitive and curious at heart, but over the years has been tempered so that his impulses to find an answer don't lead him down the wrong path...still, some of his constant debating with his fellows over what the code of the Jedi, their place in the universe, and other such concepts really mean have placed him under careful watch of the Council more than once. He maintains contact with his Master and often goes to him when he feels that he is being tempted, or wants advice about how to find his answers.
He meditates and repeats the Jedi Code often, and is a good and noble soul, but perhaps too quick to argue--not out of anger, but out of a desire to make himself and his reasoning clear, and to understand the other's viewpoint. However, poking and prodding at other people's ideas and beliefs is a surefire way to make them defensive or hostile, and thus he often finds himself having to quickly excuse himself and back away else a conflict break out, which is the opposite of what he wants.
One of his greatest shortcomings, however, is that he struggles with anger despite how well he may hide it. It often goes unnoticed, because his ire is roused by one thing: evil. To spare an evildoer, to let them live, to offer forgiveness and redemption to them after what they have done...this is often hard for him. He is self-aware of this fact, and struggles with it whenever such moments arise. To fall to the Dark Side out of misplaced aggression is one of his greatest fears, and so he goes out of his way to maintain the Light Side within himself at all costs--perhaps to an impractical degree.
Biography:
Born on Tatooine, Damar grew up an impoverished orphan who had to steal and fight to survive. Yet he knew what he was doing was wrong, and was caught many times out of a subconscious desire to pay for his crimes and be something better than a thief who lies to themselves to make what they do seem right. At some point, a Jedi Master passing through noticed his Force sensitivity, a powerful Light Side pull in one who, by all circumstances, should have been an angry and desperate individual. Damar was taken to the Council, and his training began. A decade and some years later, he finally became a fully fledged Jedi in his own right, though he lacked a great deal of field experience as he had spent a great deal of time in the libraries and archives studying, and in the Academy chambers training and meditating.
When Revan began to insist upon addressing the Mandalorian threat directly, Damar sat and listened intently to both sides of the debate as it raged throughout the halls of the Jedi, with some taking one side or another and others remaining neutral. He even went to his old Master to debate the issue himself, wanting to understand all parties. He learned, mostly through rumor, that the Council wished to avoid a direct conflict because they feared that, with their current sparse information, that they may be walking into a trap. Dark tidings were rippling through the Force, and the Mandalorian's activities did not fit with their usual methods. It was felt that something bigger was at work, behind the scenes.
But the fact remained that people were dying. Revan wished to stop the carnage, and to assist the Republic that had long been an ally of the Jedi. Perhaps out of a wish to temper the more hotheaded of those who would follow the charismatic Revan, and perhaps out of a wish to see the conflict first hand and gather more information for himself before making a final decision, Damar decided to go to the front lines. After making this decision for himself, he heard that Revan's party would be giving a speech to many of the younger Jedi. Deducing that this would likely be some form of campaign to split from the Council, he decided to attend, and hopefully, fulfill his own goals while keeping others from getting too out of hand.
Other:
Because of his constant inquisitive nature, wanting to know all variables of a situation, Damar's senses are keenly developed both physically and within the Force. His ability to sense his environment in multiple dimensions is such that he often seems to "have eyes in the back of his head."
