| This page contains a history of the Jedi Codes as it relates to members of [[Odan-Urr]]. Its purpose is to dispel the common misconception that all Jedi follow the same Code. This document will also cover those who identify as Force Disciples.
| | Through the millennia, the Jedi Order has changed in many different ways. Many different Jedi view the galaxy in a different light, and this is true for the Jedi of Odan-Urr. Bound by a common philosophy, the Jedi of our Clan tend to have a common theme of being peacekeepers, defenders, and protectors of those in need. While this is true for most Jedi, some may view their role as Jedi differently. For this reason, we have simplified the Jedi philosophy to make it acceptable and open to many different character archetypes. |

|
| ==History==
| | The Jedi Philosophy of [[Odan-Urr]] serves as the core tenets of all of its Jedi from Initiate to Prophet. These core beliefs unite all Jedi and are the foundation upon which one builds their own journey in the Force. Regardless of a Jedi’s individual path, they can all stand together as one and say ‘this is why we fight’. |
| Traditionally, the [[starwars:Jedi|Jedi Order]] were thought to have followed one particular code of ethics or honor, which applied to all members on paper, but in practice there have always been slightly different versions of it which were equally accepted by the Order. For example, younger Jedi often learned a simplified version of the Code. In addition, some Jedi such as [[starwars:Qui-Gon Jinn|Qui-Gon Jinn]] only loosely followed the Post-Ruusan Reformation [[starwars:Jedi Code|Jedi Code]] while others like [[starwars:Yoda|Yoda]] strictly adhered to it.
| |
|
| |
|
| This diversity only increased after the fall of the Republic. Some Jedi, such as [[starwars:Ki-Adi-Mundi|Ki-Adi-Mundi]], found a way to focus on more spiritual elements and balance the code with family life. [[starwars:An'ya Kuro|An’ya Kuro]] emphasized detachment and humility above all else. Later on, [[starwars:Luke Skywalker|Luke Skywalker]] created his own version for his new Jedi Order that emphasized selfless service and allowed for families, using the original Jedi Code as a reference.
| |
|
| |
|
| Similarly Odan-Urr has followed its own path, both in terms of Codes and the place of Jedi within it. The following are but a few codes currently circulating around Odan-Urr.
| | ==Views on the Force== |
| | Different Jedi interpret the Force differently, and some may have vastly different opinions or views on the universe and the Force itself, but some views bind even those Jedi together. These can be considered the core tenets of an Odan-Urr Jedi’s view of the Force: |
|
| |
|
| | * ''The Force is an energy field, connecting all living things in the galaxy, that guides and balances all things in the universe. It is not a tool to be abused but an ally in need and guiding light.'' |
| | * ''Jedi trust in the Force when making decisions and generally accept that the Force is their guide.” |
| | * “All living things follow the will of the Force, whether knowingly or unknowingly, and all are equally guided by its will.” |
| | * ''The Force is ever-present, omnipotent, and unbiased'' |
|

|
| |
|
| ===Traditional Jedi Code=== | | ==Why Do We Fight== |
| This more traditional variant of the Jedi Code is entirely based upon the meditations of Jedi Master [starwars:Odan-Urr|Odan-Urr], the patron for whom the Clan is named for. This was as the Jedi Code appeared for countless millennia prior to the Ruusan Reformation.
| | As before, different characters have different reasons to fight or protect others, but some core themes are usually shared between most Jedi in Odan-Urr. These can be: |
| | * ''Preserve life and hope in the galaxy” |
| | * ''Bring balance and harmony'' |
| | * ''Defend and help the needy” |
| | * “Trust in the Force.” |

| ''There is no emotion, there is peace''<br>
| | == Frequently Asked Questions == |
| ''There is no ignorance, there is knowledge''<br> | | * 'Can a Jedi use emotions? 'Can a Jedi have families, whether of their own making or adopted? - > J''edi in Odan-Urr are not banned from using emotions or attachments, but they should always be wary of the Dark Side and what those feelings bring with them. Each character has a unique way of dealing with these themes. Do not feel restricted. Consult your fellow clanmates if you are having trouble with these concepts.''<br> |
| ''There is no passion, there is serenity''<br>
| |
| ''There is no chaos, there is harmony''<br>
| |
| ''There is no death, there is the Force''<br> | |
|
| |
|
| A simplified form of this code taught to Younglings was:
| | * 'Is there one right way to be a Jedi? -> ''No. Jedi have disagreed with each other on the particulars of the Force, the galaxy and creation since their inception but have always stood united on core overarching philosophies. You are by no means restricted to a particular “type” of character archetype.''<br> |
| | | * 'Where does my Jedi learn about these Jedi particulars? -> ''That is each individual character’s journey. Consult the Force and learn as much as you can. Also, do not be afraid to consult your Clanmates.''<br> |
| ''Emotion, yet peace.''<br>
| |
| ''Ignorance, yet knowledge.''<br> | |
| ''Passion, yet serenity.''<br>
| |
| ''Chaos, yet harmony.''<br>
| |
| ''Death, yet the Force.''<br>
| |
| | |
| ===New Jedi Order Code===
| |
| This code, created by Luke Skywalker, emphasised selflessness and humility above all else. It was also heavily influenced by his fear of following in the footsteps of his infamous father Darth Vader. This code emphasized learning through experience. Additionally, it was closer to those practiced by the Jedi before the Great Sith War. As such, it allows Jedi to marry and have families, and each Jedi Master could train multiple apprentices. Much like the simplified code taught to Jedi children long ago, emotions were controlled not removed.

| |
| ''Jedi serve others rather than ruling over them, for the good of the galaxy.''<br>
| |
| ''Jedi seek to improve themselves through knowledge and training.''<br>
| |
| | |
| ===Jensaarai Code===
| |
| Formed from a bastardised mix of Sith and Jedi teachings, the [[starwars:Jensaarai|Jensaarai]] code is used by the so-called “Followers of the Hidden Truth”. Tempering the more superficial elements of the Sith Code against Jedi self-discipline, its code emphasises the need for aggression in order to fuel the defense of peace and justice. This encourages a far more militant path than typical Jedi Codes, and emphasises a duty as custodians of their chosen territories.

| ===A Force Disciple Code===
| |
| Although each Force Disciple ultimate chooses their own path, some choose to follow the original Je’daii Code. This is from before the practice of the Dark Side was banned within the Jedi Order, as it came to be known.

| ==Clan Organization & Jedi==
| |
| Odan-Urr, while having a Council, it is not a religious body nor are all of its members Force Users. The [[Councillors of Urr|Council of Urr]] serves as the governing body of the survivors of [[New Tython]]. After being welcomed into the [[Kiast System]], the Council is now a semi-autonomous regional government under the invitation of Vatali Empress. Jedi must interact with their counterparts, providing but one point of view for consideration.
