==Biography==
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.


===Childhood (5ABY-11ABY)===
== Biography ==


Uji was too young to remember any of the events leading up to the New Republic’s capture of his homeworld, Corsucant, from the fading Empire. Neither of his parents had supported the Rebel Alliance, yet had no real investment in the Empire either. A changing of regime mattered little to them.
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.
A few years later, Uji began to develop peculiar abilities. It was discovered he held a connection to the Force and he was taken away to begin his journey to Yavin IV where he was granted access to the Jedi Praxeum.


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.


===Adolescence (11ABY-24ABY)===
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.


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 hours after dark, when they were expected to sleep.
== Physical Description ==


During this time, he would develop few close friends, but would find an understanding from the Order. He learned that the Jedi existed to serve the greater good, whether that be in serving the Alliance, the Rebels, or even further back when they had served the Old Republic. The Jedi existed to create peace, balance, and harmony: a teaching that would one day lead to Uji turning his back on the them.
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.


In his studies, Uji found himself taking an interest in many of the Heroes of the Jedi Order who had turned rogue at some point, and of  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 behind his interest: to understand how to stop a rogue Jedi, one would have to understand their motivations. Taking notice of the young Jedi’s potential, his teachers began to mold his path for him, using a direction the new Order had not yet incorporated: that of one of the oldest orders of the Jedi, the Shadow Sentinels.  
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.


Years later, Uji lost his Jedi Master during a brief conflict against a Dark Jedi of exceptional talent. [https://wiki.darkjedibrotherhood.com/view/Sashar_Arconae| Sashar Erinos Arconae], a Mandalorian extremely talented in the use of the Force, defeated Uji and his Master. Yet for some reason, the Arconae felt it would be a waste of his time to kill the Jedi Apprentice as well as a waste of talent. Uji survived the encounter and upon return to Yavin IV was accepted as a Jedi Knight and tasked with continuing his work as a Sentinel.
== Personality and Traits ==


===Adulthood (24ABY-29ABY)===
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.


Once Knighted, Uji was assigned to continue he and his Master’s former work, the seizing or eliminating of rogue Jedi and Dark Jedi elements among the Outer Rim worlds. This came to an end when the Yuuzhan Vong invasion occurred, as the Republic increasingly began to hate and vilify the Jedi due to the Vong’s actions. Still determined, however, Uji began working as a rogue agent, learning to change his appearance and make himself seem plain and non-descript. Instead of confronting enemies head on, the Sentinel began using stealth and diversion to give him the advantages he needed to survive.
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.


Uji remained in the Outer Rim Worlds, moving from conflict to conflict. without orders from the Jedi due to public distaste and eventual criminal allegations of the Order. As the Jedi Sentinal changed his methods during these years,  he developed his abilities as an assassin, striking influential Vong where he could, eliminating Vong supporters, and protecting Republic civilians where possible.
== Powers and Abilities ==


When the eventual peace treaty came about in 29ABY, Uji returned to the Core Worlds and presented himself to the Jedi Order, explaining his actions and his decisions made during the Invasion. Skywalker showed a growing sense of unease for how easily Uji slipped into the role of an assassin. The results, however, were hard to refute, and the majority of the Jedi Order heaped praise on the Jedi Knight for his actions. With the forming of the new Galactic Federation of Free Alliances, an opportunity was presented for members of the Jedi Order to work alongside the new Federation’s Intelligence Division as retainers. Uji was chosen for such a position and assigned to work alongside the Galactic Alliance Intelligence Service.
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.


===Intelligence Service (29ABY-35ABY)===
[[File:Uji and Satsi.jpg|thumb|left|Uji and Satsi fighting side by side]]


Uji’s time serving as a liaison for the Intelligence Service came naturally to him, andhe Intelligence division was grateful for his ability to go where some of their best agents had difficulty. Uji’s ability with the Force developed more during this period of time then any time prior, the skills he gained during the Vong invasion coming to the fore as he was tasked with eliminating anti-Alliance protesters, planetary leaders intent on forming rebellion against the Alliance, and the like.
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.


Throughout these years, Uji truly believed he was following the Jedi Path. He was rewarded time and again for his actions, believing he had saved thousands, millions of lives with his decisions, stopping rebellions before they even began, helping build the legacy of the Alliance as a stable and progressive government in the new Era.
== OOC ==


Unfortunately, the truth was far different. The Alliance Officer he was assigned to had hidden the truth from Uji, using the naive Jedi to pit various factions against one another and profiting in the process. Amaranthe T’Vara was an Echani native who had had built a network of spies, informants and less savory characters over her career. A holdover from the former New Republic Intelligence Division, she held a special disdain for what she considered the newest in a series of failed governments.
Current song for inspiration = [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x2o_wW-llz0 Judas]
 
T’vara used the ensuing conflicts and re-building of the Galactic Alliance to her advantage, using her network to buy and sell information throughout the Galaxy. When anyone moved to oppose her, she would fabricate evidence of their involvement or descension from the Galactic Alliance and send Uji to deal with the problem. She knew the Knight’s penchant for delving into his work with a single-minded nature, and she continually kept him moving from one place to another, rarely giving him down-time to report to the Jedi Council or her superiors.
 
After six years of near constant service, Uji was granted a brief reprieve and opportunity to return to Coruscant. It was during that time that Uji met and was befriended by a woman slightly younger than himself, a Miraluka recently apprenticed by the Jedi Order, Atyiru Araave. The woman’s jovial and uplifting attitude seemed nearly infectious to those around her, and Uji spent most of his leave with the apprentice, helping her develop her understanding of the Jedi code as he saw it. Many hours went into instructing her in the standards he felt the Order stood for: peace, stability and order brought about by the actions of the Jedi. Uji and Atyiru parted ways when she became the padawan of
Scopian Teticth and began her training in earnest--or so Uji thought.
 
Months passed and Uji returned to his duties, though with a clearer mind and attitude. He began to look back on his career and wonder when and if he would ever take his own padawan. As he began researching the effects of his past missions, he started to stumble onto the effects of his actions: feudal factions still fighting, worlds put to the torch because of rebellions due to murders he committed…
 
When he confronted Amaranthe with his findings, the Echani woman refuted the evidence, providing claims that the occurrences had little to do with his own actions and that some tragedies couldn’t be avoided. This would lead to an increasing tension between Uji and his handler, and questioning her orders and missions became regular as he was pushed further and further out from the Core worlds.
 
===Betrayal (36ABY)===
 
Amaranthe issued orders to eliminate a smuggling operation and leave no trace of the Alliance or Jedi’s involvement, giving Uji access to a crew of smugglers, pirates, and worse scum while providing them the resources and tools necessary to do the job. T’Avara was aware of Uji’s involvement with one of the members on board the ship and gave implicit orders for him to see the mission completed but not to directly involve himself. She wanted the of group of smugglers known as the Red Ladies eliminated, as they had been an unresolved issue for the Exchange for quite some time.
 
Amaranthe made a deal to eliminate the smugglers in exchange for a trade agreement with the Exchange. When Uji tracked down and found a location on the ship piloted by the Red Ladies’ leader, Arraas, he sent the assembled mercenaries after the Red Ladies.
 
It wasn’t until after the conflict, when the 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 rogue 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.
 
Uji disobeyed orders and returned to Coruscant, his knowledge of what he had caused haunting him. He tried to approach Atyiru and explain what had happened, how he had been a part of what occurred--to explain how it furthered the needs of the Alliance. The self-exiled Padawan took pity on her friend for his naivety, too numb from her loss, Atyiru shattered Uji’s perception not with anger, but with sympathy. She saw what he had become and what the path he was on was leading him to.
 
===Disillusion (36ABY)===
 
Uji returned to his work, attempting to shake the feeling that Atyiru was right, that he had been led astray. He was hounded by the thought that all of his work, his dedication and willingness to do what was needed for the last six years of his life had only led him to become the type of monster he used to hunt. He began disagreeing with the need for extreme violence, and questioning when it became the role of the Jedi or Alliance to work with organizations like the Exchange. He openly questioned Amaranthe on her actions, sending reports directly to the Jedi Council and higher-ups of Alliance Intelligence. Sadly, T’vara had anticipated the move and taken the first steps, blocking his communications and ensuring none of his missives arrived. 
 
It wasn't long before the betrayal was complete. Alliance Intelligence received reports of the death of a political leader among the Coruscant senators. News of the event stirred rebellion in the outer reaches of Alliance territory. When attempting to board his vessel and leave Coruscant, Uji was confronted by Alliance Security and ordered to stand down. Recognizing members of T’vara’s network, Uji struck first, targeting her associates and disabling the guardsmen before they could arrest him.
 
Narrowly escaping the attempt, Uji attempted to contact the Order, only to discover that his handler had framed him for the death of the Senator and provided proof of his rogue actions, citing missions throughout his career where similar murders had occurred. Standing orders were for him to return to Alliance space and turn himself in. Uji was unable to contain his anger as he realizedhow long he had been being duped by his handler. He attempted to provide answers and questioned the Council, but with the evidence before them the Council ordered his return to stand trial.
 
===Exile and Entry to the Brotherhood (36ABY- 38 ABY)===
 
The betrayal struck Uji to the core, shattering the last vestiges of his pride in the Alliance and the Order. Taking transport further out past Alliance space, Uji began trying to find a life for himself. Traveling where he could to find work, he began to orchestrate ways to use his training and abilities. It was during this time that he encountered a young man by the name of Teroch, a Mandalore Force-user. When the two confronted one another, Teroch had no prior knowledge or association with the former Jedi. However, Uji recognized the tattoo Teroch wore, the mark of Sashar the man who had killed his Jedi Master.
 
Details surrounding the event remain muddied. Members of Soulfire Strike Team claimed that Teroch beat Uji to within an inch of his life and proceeded to wake him up at the nearest Cantina to talk. Whatever the circumstance, it wasn’t long until Uji came into Teroch’s employ and began training with him. Teroch’s natural ability and power astounded Uji. For years he had considered himself capable of tracking any rogue Jedi or Sith, but his eyes were opened as Teroch introduced him to the dealings of the Brotherhood.
 
The wealth of talent, ability, and power available to the members of the Brotherhood humbled the former Jedi. Teroch spent nearly a year developing and honing his new apprentice in the ways of the Obelisk before presenting him to the Arconan council. Uji was granted membership to House Galeres to serve at the time in Teroch’s newly formed Battleteam Nighthawk. Eventually,as word spread of his former deeds, he was also approached by Valhavoc, an old ally of Arcona who went on to become the Fist of the Brotherhood, and for a time served as his Magistrate.
 
==General Characteristics==
 
{{Quote|You think I am a monster, but you're no different from me, Drake. How many men have you killed? How many, just today? |Lazarevis, Uncharted 2: Among Thieves}}
 
Appearance:
 
Uji appears in his mid-thirties, and his attitude gives off the impression of emotionally detached until crossed. Slightly taller than average at six feet (1.85M) tall, his body is well trained from years of combat. His focus on speed and silence keeps him from being as physically imposing as he could be, more lean muscle than overt bulk. He keeps his hair long enough to tie back into a top-knot, and when not tied back it rests around shoulder length. He is rarely seen in anything except for his Dervish robes.
 
'''Titles:''' Templar, Obelisk Assassin
 
Internal Perception:
 
A Guardian is nothing without a purpose, seek out only that which deserves your time and your dedication. Let all other distractions be forgotten. Passion and Desire rule the will of an Obelisk Guardian, without the desire to protect those in one's care, one cannot draw on the will or passion to succeed no matter the difficulty.
 
Reputation:
 
Uji has joined and left Arcona as necessary over the last year completing work for the Fist’s office, then personal business and finally out of frustration. The members of his fellow clan often look on him with disdain or outright anger for not following the blind loyalty many Arconans are known for. As a former Jedi Sentinel the danger of being surrounded by the very type of people he used to hunt in his youth is not lost on the former Jedi. Though he has come to respect certain members of the Brotherhood he rarely drops his guard when near members of even his own clan.
 
==Friends==  
 
===Atyiru===
{{Quote|...I think...no, I ''am'' very glad that you’re here, Uji.”
“Oh? And why is that?"

“Hmmm...we may be even more alike than we’d thought.”
:''”And why is that?”''
“Because I needed you to remind me of the good, too.|Atty and [[Uji]]}}
 
[[starwars:Padawan|Padawan]] and [[starwars:Jedi Knight|Knight]], [[Priest|Priestess]] and [[Templar]], [[starwars:Near-Human|Near-Human]] and [[starwars:Human|Human]], Atty and Uji had, throughout their history, always been similar but different, complementary opposites, fitting together like puzzle pieces. In the past, they were both Jedi, one a greenhorn, one a veteran, one rebellious, one obedient, one willing to endure whatever it took, one willing to enact whatever it took; and when they went their separate ways, one was warm, where the other was frozen.  
 
After recovering from the initial shock of seeing his old, former friend again, Uji approached Atyiru in private. Their conversation set things as straight as possible between the two: Atyiru had forgiven him for the death of her lover and had come to understand that without his actions. she would not be where she was, surrounded by those she loved.
 
Uji and Atty fast became good friends again. Both still retained their like-minded tendencies for helping others and compassionate, yet battle-tested demeanors. More than anything, however, was their almost symbiotic dynamic. Uji, afraid of ever becoming as emotionless as he once had been again, was relieved by Atyiru's constant efforts to "brighten" his life, much as she did with her other friends. Meanwhile, Atyiru, exhausted and traumatized by the [[Dark Crusade]], found solace in the elder Templar's wisdom, charm, and well-rounded philosophical outlook. Atty tends accept Uji's darker actives as one of the [[Fist of the Brotherhood|Fist's]] staff, despite her disapproval of such, while Uji is tolerant of her often-conflicting behaviors.
 
Frequently, Atyiru and Uji can be found joking, training, debating, or generally completing assignments together, if they can manage as much. Atty considers Uji one of her most trusted and closest friends, even within her circle of acquaintances, and often calls upon the assassin-turned-deadly guardian as her right-hand man. This reliance and affection soon grew deeper, and the pair became romantically involved. However, both were very aware of their duties and ambitions for a "better world", and were realistic about the fragility of their relationship despite their care for one another, particularly because of Uji's frequent--if not permanent--wanderings from the Brotherhood. Their relationship, like many of Atty's other romantic involvements, eventually dissolved. They remain friends, if often at a distance.

{{Quote|Would you two just die already, okay? I’ve got better things to do then dance with you idiots |Braxant addressing Kordath and Uji - During the rescue of [[Atyiru Caesus Entar]]}}
 
Kordath and Uji knew of one another through the shared friendship of [[Atyiru|Atyiru Caesus Entar]]. During the siege of Selen in 38ABY, Kordath encountered an Elder Sith named Dassac, Who placed the Krath under his control for a period of time. Upon escape from his tormentor, Kordath was found by Uji and a team of ADF Scout forces. Escorting the Krath to the safety of the Citadel, the two intended to rest and recover, unfortunately the opportunity was taken from them during the kidnapping of their Aedile and mutual friend Atyiru and her godchildren.
 
The two worked well together, despite neither was at full capacity. Kordath still suffering from his treatment at the hands of the One Sith Elder, Uji exhausted from days of fighting and running on stimulants provided by Arcona’s very own [[Ood Bnar|Mad scientist]]. With the successful rescue of Atyiru, Kordath and Uji retired to one of the few Cantina’s left standing and proceeded to imbibe copious amounts of alcohol to numb the events of the assault.
 
The two have developed a good cop, bad cop friendship. Though it truly depends on the day as to which is which. Kordath’s natural inclination towards stealth and avoidance works well with Uji’s own methods of remaining hidden before any strike. Though Uji is more combative then Bleu, he respects the Ryn’s abilities and willingness to throw it all on the line when necessary and owes Kordath a life debt for saving him during their assault on Braxant’s compound.
 
Heroes:

* Teroch Erinos

- Though he looks up to these individuals of Arcona who have attained power through the Obelisk path, he considers them less his heroes and more examples of what he can become.

"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. 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.

Biography

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.

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.

He has been awarded a number of decorations and awards for his service to the Clan throughout its struggles. He holds the Sapphire Blade in the highest regard.

Physical Description

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.

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.

Personality and Traits

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.

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.

Powers and Abilities

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 and Satsi fighting side by side

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.
