(Mods - I reserved Anakin, but with a different journal. This will be the journal I intend to use for him if accepted into the game.)

CHARACTER Name: Anakin Skywalker (nickname is: Ani - never Annie) Canon: Star Wars Age: Almost 23 - he looks more than a bit battle-wary Timeline: Shortly after Ahoska, his apprentice, is expelled from the Order (this is mid Clone Wars period at least about 7-8 months prior to the events of Ep III) If playing another character from the same canon, how will you deal with this?: N/A
Personality: Anakin’s personality can be summed up nicely in one word: passionate. He wears his emotions broadly for all to see, defiantly and proudly. This manifests both in positive ways, and in many negative ways.
On the positive end of this spectrum Anakin is hard working, determined, and driven, and he will always fight for what he thinks is right (what is 'right', however, is highly subjective, depending on one's point of view). Ever since he was nine (almost ten) years old and taken from his mother on the planet Tatooine and placed into the care of Qui-Gon Jinn, he has wanted to become a Jedi Knight. They are the guardians of peace and justice (Anakin being more focused on the latter rather than the former) in the galaxy; and having experienced so much injustice prior to Master Jinn finding him, Anakin was particularly keen on joining a society dedicated to such virtues. Anakin doesn’t give up easily, even in the face of a challenge with seemingly insurmountable odds. One of his personal mottos is ‘There is always hope’, and he will do what he thinks is right. It is here his courage shines brightly, and it is for this reason the people of the Republic dubbed him ‘The Hero with no Fear’.
Anakin has within him the capacity to be quite compassionate; when those he cares about and loves are suffering he can’t help but act in their defense. Who he ‘cares and loves’ can be defined broadly, even those as disconnected form him as innocent bystanders. He loathes not being able to prevent harm from happening to anyone. It is from this compassion that springs his ability to be so loyal, when he’s made up his mind who to be loyal to. It is also from this place within him that he feels that strong sense of betrayal when those he cares about let him down. Because he puts so much of himself into his relationships (against the Code of his Order, no less) when those he cares about let him down (real or simply perceived) he feels it as a tremendous loss. The Order as a whole (and the Council as its representive) is one such source of disappointment. He has put so much of his energy into becoming a Jedi, to help and protect people (people who are like who he used to be - slaves, the abused, the damaged people of the Republic), but in return, the Order has rejected him - first quite literally when he was nine. But even after he was allowed in, he's never felt welcomed by the other Jedi. And as he's dealt with the Order, he's become disillusioned with their lack of actually helping people he personally identifies with.
