==Character History==
{{Quote|Bury it with everyone else you have failed with your incompetence and refusal to act.|Uji Taimeike}}


Uji is a former Jedi Knight, a member of the Dark Jedi Brotherhood driven to the Dark Side by the very teachings of his youth. {{Quote|To serve the Galaxy as a Jedi, is to never compromise, to always serve the greater good, this is why the Jedi served the Old Republic, why Master Skywalker fought alongside the Rebels, and why the Order now works with the Galactic Alliance, we have and will always serve for the betterment of everyone.|Tionne Solusar addressing Younglings at the Yavin 4 Praxeum.}}
Uji Tameike has served Arcona for the better part of five years, despite brief departures, having served as a Battleteam Leader, Aedile and Quaestor to House Galeres alongside serving as the Clan’s Proconsul under [[Atyiru]] during her tenure as Consul. His loyalty was once only to specific individuals, but as times change he has begun to realize the damage this mentality has caused to the Clan as a whole.


===Youth===
== Biography ==
The time before he was part of the Jedi Order is something Uji has never really considered. His life began with the Order: his mentors, his peers and those he interacted with there are his first memories. Uji was part of the first class of Younglings to undertake training by Skywalker and Tionne Solusar. His youth was something he remembers fondly, learning, training, and practicing from the moment he rose, until four hours after dark, when they were expected to sleep.


During this time he would develop few close friends, but would find an understanding from the Order that the Jedi existed to serve the greater good, whether that be in serving the Alliance, the Rebels, or further back when they served the Old Republic. The Jedi exist to create peace, balance, and harmony: a teaching that would one day lead to Uji turning his back on the Jedi.
Uji doesn’t speak to many of his past before the Brotherhood. Select individuals know of his history prior to joining Arcona through either personal retelling or intelligence gathered. When he arrived in Arcona, he was requisitioned at the time in service to the Brotherhood's Royal Guard where he has been a long-standing associate, serving twice as a Magistrate to the office.


===The Jedi Way===
Within Arcona he has held nearly every position available, primarily within House Galeres until his eventual appointment as Proconsul where he served his longest tenure. His influence on the Clan has been tumultuous at best, his time as Proconsul ending with imprisonment and nearly being charged with betrayal as he directly disobeyed his Consul and acted against her wishes.
Uji found himself taking an interest in many of the Heroes of the Jedi Order who had turned rogue at some point, and the order of the Jedi originally used to stop said individuals, the Jedi Shadows. When concerns were raised, he was brought before his teachers, and before Master Skywalker. Even as a youth, Uji understood the destruction the Jedi were capable of, and assembled before the Council as an Apprentice, explained his reasoning. To understand how to stop a Rogue Jedi, one would have to understand their motivations.


Taking notice of the young Jedi, his teachers began to mold the path for him, using a direction the new Order had not yet incorporated: one of the oldest orders of the Jedi, the Shadow Sentinels. Years later, Uji lost his Jedi Master while hunting down a Dark Jedi. By defeating his master’s killer, Uji was accepted as a Jedi Knight and tasked with continuing his work as a Sentinel.  
He has been awarded a number of decorations and awards for his service to the Clan throughout its struggles. He holds the [https://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/members/13561/award_events/6 Sapphire Blade] in the highest regard.


During the latter parts of his time among the Jedi, Uji would be befriended by a younger Miraluka girl, Atyiru Araave, a woman he would later unknowingly betray, and eventually come to serve.
== Physical Description ==


===Service to Alliance Intelligence===
With sharp, slanted brown eyes too old for his face and a diminished frame, Uji has the look of a soldier forgotten by war. His body atrophied by time and lack of conditioning, the former Obelisk still strides straight-backed, assured in how he carries himself despite this. The stressed lines slowly appearing on his vital features are occasionally broken by the quick smirk, and he can often be found arching one of his dark brows in exasperation.


Once Knighted, Uji was assigned to work alongside Galactic Intelligence recovering artifacts, confronting and eliminating threats to the Order, and any other mission the Order deemed important to keep under wraps, yet couldn’t afford to risk having exposed. Over the years, the missions began to become more brutal, and tactics changed from rescue and recovery to elimination, threats, and assassinations.
Uji's skin is a pale, oriental tan, marred by a multitude of scars and marks, particularly two long, thin twin scars across his sharp, straight nose, running from below his left eye to the other side of his face. His strong jaw and pronounced cheeks are covered by a neatly-kept, full goatee and framed by the occasional loose locks of dark black hair that slip from the knot he keeps it in. His strong posture is only slightly undercut by the slant of his step as he leans on a cane.


Uji began to have doubts that the Order was capable of using him in such a capacity, but often found himself placed in situations where contacting the Order was impossible without going through Alliance intelligence.
== Personality and Traits ==


===Betrayal===
Patience and intelligence are two of Uji's few virtues. He is a careful planner by nature, and is perfectly comfortable spending years weaving threads just how he wants them. This can make him appear reckless when his well-thought out plans lead to much intended chaos. This slow, cunning approach makes him a good tactician, impressive problem-solver, and careful manipulator. However it can also prevent him from recognizing when a different approach might be better, or from acting on the spur of the moment when it's needed.
Given orders to eliminate a smuggling operation and leave no trace of the Alliance or Jedi’s involvement, Uji gathered together a group of smugglers, pirates, and murderers and provided them the resources and tools necessary to do the job. The Alliance wanted a group of smugglers known as the Red Ladies eliminated, as they had been an unresolved issue for the Exchange for quite some time.


The Alliance decided to deal with the Smugglers in exchange for a trade agreement with the Exchange. When Uji tracked and found a location on the ship piloted by the Red Ladies’ leader, Arraas, he sent his crew after the woman.
Uji's years of battle and hardship have left him all but physically crippled with a weakened heart. While the man had accepted this fact and was proud to instead use his considerable mind to solve problems, changes in circumstances have lead him to find new avenues of attack. He has developed more of a supportive role in combat, slowing enemies or suppressing powered individuals while teammates attack under his protection. If directly confronted with a situation he can’t avoid, he is all too aware that in a direct confrontation he has little hope against even a moderately competent opponent. His final resort is to release the rage inside of him, to fully embrace the Dark Side as his younger self once did, fully knowing the sacrifice would be just that: final. Any such attempt is knowingly suicidal.


It wasn’t until after the conflict, when his team had failed, that Uji came to understand what had happened: how a better armed, better outfitted force had been defeated after reporting they had taken the ship. Atyiru Araave, a former Jedi padawan and his former friend, had been aboard the ship. The apparent lover of the captain, she had lead her remaining crew to retake the ship, and eliminated the mercenaries he had hired.
== Powers and Abilities ==


===Disillusion===
Uji is a disciplined and well versed user of Makashi. In his youth he developed the use of Makashi to ensure that each and every movement was precise and quite literally to the point. As he’s grown older and his physical health has failed him, this has become more of a necessity than a choice. He is physically incapable without drawing heavily on the Force to fight effectively over long periods or to push himself as he could in his youth.
Uji questioned the orders of his mission to eliminate the smugglers, disagreeing with the need for extreme violence, and questioning when it became the role of the Jedi or Alliance to work with the Exchange. But the more he pressed the issue, the harsher the response he received: over the course of the next several months, he was thrown into more and more dangerous missions, and his contact with the Jedi order went from minimal to nonexistent.  


It wasn’t long before the betrayal was complete. Alliance Intelligence sent him on a mission to assassinate a planetary leader stirring rebellion in the outer reaches of Alliance territory. When he attempted to carry out the assignment, he found himself facing off against a squad of Bounty Hunters attempting to seize him for “Crimes against the Alliance”.
[[File:Uji and Satsi.jpg|thumb|left|Uji and Satsi fighting side by side]]


Narrowly escaping the attempt, Uji attempted to contact the Order, only to discover that his handlers among the Alliance had framed his last missions as him going rogue. Standing orders were for him to return to Alliance space and turn himself in. Uji was unable to contain his anger as he realized for how long he had been being duped by his handlers, when he realized that the Order had forgotten about him and let him be used to cause so much harm.
His talents in the Force have changed as he himself has. Whereas he used to have a firm mastery of many disciplines he used to enhance his own physical prowess, as he has been forced to develop new methods of fighting this has led him to become a potent user of Suppression to even the odds against other Force Users, also ensuring that any combatants he is with (such as his partner Satsi) are able to combat any enemy they face on even footing.


===Exile===
== OOC ==
Sending a single message through to the Order, Uji explained his actions, explained in detail the missions he had been ordered to carry out, and ended the missive by informing the Order that he would no longer be serving them, or the Alliance they upheld. Uji took transport further out, and began trying to find a life for himself outside of Alliance space. Traveling where he could to find work, he began to orchestrate ways to use his training to do what he had always believed to be the right thing.


To strive for the greater good, no matter the actions necessary, he began to seek out something that could replace what he had lost: a group, an organization that could give him the tools he needed to carry out his desires. During these months, he began channeling his anger towards the Order, his desire for order to the chaos leading him to begin down the path of the Dark Side, seeing the potential for him to be so much more than the Jedi ever let him become.

Atyiru’s initial reaction to Uji’s arrival in the Brotherhood was a mixed one: the Miraluka had never expected that particular piece of her past to come to light again. However, in the time since their last interaction, she had been able to come to terms with the pain he caused her and his role in her former partner’s death. Instead of being crippled or poisoned by it, she used the experience to drive her forward, and treated it as a lesson in cherishing everything she had as long as she had it.
This fact, augmented by her [[Marcik|Consul’s]] and [[Cethgus|Quaestor’s]] approval for him, led Atyiru to cautiously but readily accept Uji into [[Galeres]] for his martial skill, intellect, and dedication. She endeavored to befriend him again, realizing that his time in the Jedi Order had not necessarily been a virtuous experience for him, just as it had been for her.
The pair grew close again, Uji preferring to spend time with Atyiru because of their shared, more humanitarian outlook and attitude of self-sacrifice for a greater good than themselves; though they displayed it in rather antipodal manners. Atyiru tended more toward martyrdom and would promote mercy even when detrimental, sacrificing self in her unwillingness to harm any others; whereas Uji was more inclined to set aside morality and do whatever needed to be done to preserve the whole, sacrificing self in his willingness to protect others. However, both had grown with time, and as Atty had begun to learn how to balance compassion and self-preservation, Uji had learned to take difficult action without shutting out his emotions.
At present in the DB, Atty and Uji are often found working closely together. She considers him her right-hand man and partner while on duty and one of her closest friends within her circle when not.

"Bury it with everyone else you have failed with your incompetence and refusal to act."
―Uji Taimeike

Uji Tameike has served Arcona for the better part of five years, despite brief departures, having served as a Battleteam Leader, Aedile and Quaestor to House Galeres alongside serving as the Clan’s Proconsul under Atyiru during her tenure as Consul.
