Tionne Solusar addressing Younglings at the Yavin 4 Praxeum.’


General Characteristics

Name: Rennek “Uji” Ughi

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


Personal Characteristics

Quirks: Sarcasm comes easily to him, as well as an elitist nature.

Physical Characteristics

Mental Characteristics


"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

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.

Savvies: Uji is first and foremost a duelist. Never having been much of a soldier, his skills lend him to assassinations more than the field of combat.

Ineptness: Uji is not charismatic, he has a dry sense of humor and it shows in his interactions, especially with those he doesn't consider an equal.

Temperament:

Positive: Independent, self-confident, straightforward.

Negative: Aloof, obsessive, tactless.

Intellectual Characteristics

Logical-Mathematical: Training in the Jedi Art’s taught Uji patience of thought and action. When given time he can be very analytical and calculating.

Linguistic: Uji has never taken a keen interest in languages. While familiar with Basic and Old Galactic Standard he has spent years manipulating his voice and appearance to be bland and forgettable.

Bodily-Kinesthetic: Uji’s reflexes are well trained, and grace of movement comes easily to him after a lifetime of training in the Makashi form

Interpersonal: Uji is not a manipulator, he tends to perform his work as an Assassin in a more direct manner. Subtlety is something he is capable of, but tends to avoid whenever possible.

Naturalistic: 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.

Supernatural Characteristics

Ability: The majority of Uji’s Force abilities are internally focused, more of a Force Adept than a Sorcerer. Hence his initiation into the order of the Obelisk.

Strengths: Singular focus drives him to excelling in his chosen pursuit, at the detriment of well-rounded training.

Weaknesses: His power’s with the force are amplified by arrogance and pride have more then once led Uji to make poor decisions.

Likes and Dislikes

Likes: Old Coruscant Adventure Films (Think “The Adventures of Han Solo adaptations). Uji is almost OCD in his tendencies for things to be orderly.

Dislikes: The use of politics to influence stagnation, his personal belief in advancement through conflict means that whether in debate or in combat Uji seeks to drive progression and order in his actions.

Social Characteristics

Emotional Stability: A strong willed individual, it takes effort to drive Uji to anger or misery, on the opposite spectrum though it takes significant effort for him to smile or laugh. He is often too focused for much in the way of interaction.

Humor: Dry humor, sarcasm and wit will earn a smile from him.

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 once before that he was not finding the path he required. 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.

School and Work

Degrees: No Shadow Academy Degrees completed as of this point.

Education: Uji has attended the Jedi Praxeum since his youth and more recently sought further knowledge and power from the Shadow Academy.

Study Habits: Consumed with passion for physical excellence Uji takes to training with almost unmatched zeal. As for educational study of history, mathematics, or science he lacks passion for the subjects and avoids them outside of a basic understanding.

Learning Type: Kinesthetic

Occupation: Assassin, Dark Jedi

Boss: Battleteam Leader Arcia Cortel is Uji’s direct superior outside of Galeres summit.

Interpersonal Connections

Immediate Family: Uji is unaware of any family still living

Allies: None currently

Enemies: None currently

Friends:


"...I think...no, I am very glad that you’re here, Uji.”

“Oh? And why is that?"

”Because you remind me of all the good in the Galaxy. And I needed 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

Padawan and Knight, Priestess and Templar, Near-Human and 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 thing 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 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'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.

Biography

Childhood

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.

Adolescence:

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.

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.

Adulthood

Service to Alliance Intelligence: 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 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.

Betrayal:

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.

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 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.

Disillusion:

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”.

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.

Exile

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.
