| Bio: |  Character Info -Full Name: Anakin Skywalker (Would later be called Darth Vader) -Nicknames:Ani -Gender: Male -PB: Hayden Christensen -Character Age: 20 something -Height: 6'1" -Hair Color: Sandy blond -Eye Color: blue -BRIEF DESCRIPTION Anakin Skywalker is supernaturally gifted, possesses great talent and great ego and is highly passionate and moody. Standing tall, slender and well-muscled, young Anakin will immediately give the impression of an older person from the stern expression on his face. He normally appears to be troubled or worried...or often pissed off. Padme is one of the few people who keep him smiling. -BIOGRAPHY Early Life Anakin was born around 41 BBY on an unknown world, but was raised on Tatooine from the time he first came to be there as an infant or small child. Whatever world he had been originally born on, Tatooine was the only home he ever knew. His mother, Shmi Skywalker, claimed that she had become pregnant with him without having interacted with any father. Qui-Gon Jinn interpreted this as being part of a prophecy about the Chosen One who would "bring balance to the Force". The wise Jedi Master suggested that the midi-chlorians might have conceived him. In fact, Anakin had a midi-chlorian count of over 20,000, which was even greater than that of Senior Jedi Master Yoda. Childhood and Discovery Like his mother, Anakin was a slave of a curmudgeonly scrap-shop owner named Watto. When Qui-Gon Jinn, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Jar Jar Binks, Padmé Amidala, and R2-D2 encountered him, he was a kind, selfless nine-year old chattel to Watto, who had won Shmi and Anakin from Gardulla the Hutt on a podracing bet nearly seven years earlier. Even at a young age, he had a reputation for being able to build or repair anything. This was evidenced by the creation of his own protocol droid C-3PO, as well as a podracer, each from salvaged parts, and both built by the time he was nine standard years old. A child prodigy, Anakin excelled at mathematics and engineering. Anakin was also adventurous, frequently he would risk his own well being to help those who needed it, with little forethought, or regard for what the consequences might be. When he was only 5 years old, Anakin scaled an immense dune to chase away a heard of banthas from hunters who intended to kill the animals. A short time before the 32 BBY Boonta Eve, Anakin, his friend Kitster Banai, and several other youths, narrowly avoided a potential disaster. Hearing of children who had been captured and imprisoned by Sebulba, in hopes of being sold to Gardulla the Hutt. The children disguised themselves as Jawas, sneaked into Gardulla's estate and freed the Ghostling children. This trait would prove to be one of the defining characteristics of Anakin's personality.  Leaving Tatooine Qui-Gon Jinn was able to win Anakin's freedom based on a clever wager that entered the boy in a podrace. Normally, Humans lacked the fast reactions needed to operate such a tremendously high-speed land vehicle. However, Anakin's latent Force sensitivity manifested in the form of limited prescience, which gave the impression to others that the boy had lightning-fast reflexes. Although Anakin was freed, the Jedi were unable to obtain Shmi's release as well. Even after the crisis in which Anakin and his new companions were entangled ended victoriously in the Battle of Naboo, neither the Jedi nor the Republic made any effort to emancipate her. Anakin's duties as a Jedi prevented him from freeing his mother himself, though she eventually obtained her freedom from Watto through the aid of a moisture farmer named Cliegg Lars. The revelation of Anakin's gifts cemented Qui-Gon Jinn's belief that he was indeed the Chosen One, though many on the Jedi Council were skeptical. Qui-Gon asked the Jedi Council to allow him to train Anakin as his student, after his current apprentice, Obi-Wan, completed the trials necessary to become a Jedi Knight. This request was denied - Anakin was much older than usual, and the Council was concerned that his prior experiences would interfere with his training. In particular, he exhibited much fear and anger, left over from his days as a slave, and further compounded by the separation from his mother and home. They believed he would simply not be able to master the level of emotional detachment required by a member of the order. With no where to go on Coruscant, and no way to get back to Tatooine, Anakin followed his new friends on their mission to free Naboo. Ultimately, Anakin ended up fighting in the Battle of Naboo, in the vicious starfighter battle above the planet. He helped to lead Naboo and Gungan forces to victory over the Trade Federation by single-handedly destroying its flagship, the Droid Control Ship and rendering the Trade Federation's ground forces inactive. However the celebration was tainted as Qui-Gon had been slain by the Sith Lord Darth Maul. As he lay dying Qui-Gon urged Obi-Wan to train Anakin. Anakin's heroic efforts during the battle, combined with Qui-Gon's last wish changed to the Council's opinion, and reluctantly they allowed Obi-Wan to begin Anakin's training. Though quietly the Council was concerned that Anakin was much too difficult a student for the young Obi-Wan. Meanwhile, Supreme Chancellor Palpatine promised Anakin that he would "watch [his] career with great interest." This would be the beginning of a long friendship between the young Jedi and the new ruler of the Republic. Another politician, Padmé Amidala, was one of Anakin's first glimpses of the galaxy beyond Tatooine. He was fascinated with her as a child, and as he grew to adolescence, this developed into a tragically flawed romance. They would eventually have two children, Luke and Leia, both of whom later became central figures in the Rebellion and New Republic eras. Adolescence As a young adult, Anakin developed as arrogant and somewhat socially awkward, doubtless in part because of his rapid transition from scrapyard slave to rising star of the Jedi Order. His natural abilities placed him leaps and bounds above his peers, and this fed his ego as well as distancing himself from other learners of his age. He frequently showed off, and displayed little respect for Obi-Wan, whom he partially viewed as inferior. Despite this perception, he did state that Obi-Wan was like a father to him and he claimed he had the wisdom of Master Yoda and the power of Master Windu but this praise may have been just another expression of Anakin's own arrogance, as he amended that he himself was "beyond" Kenobi in many ways. Anakin's early friendship with Palpatine continued, with the Chancellor lending Anakin a sympathetic ear, and saying things to further fuel his pride (e.g. "I foresee you will become the greatest of all the Jedi, Anakin, even more powerful than Master Yoda.") Reunited with Padmé After an attempt on her life, Anakin was assigned to guard Padmé, who was now the Senator for Naboo. He had not seen her in 10 years. His childhood fascination with her had turned into a powerful infatuation. In conversation, he revealed his affection for her, a distrust of the political process, and his view of the need for one strong leader. He fell in love with Padmé, and she with him. Both seemed entranced with the other and their different social castes. Anakin's pursuit of this relationship was in violation of Jedi tradition, which held that although Jedi are not required to be celibate, they must avoid attachment in their relationships. Anakin suffered recurring nightmares about his mother, Shmi, and went against the spirit of his orders to guard Padmé by bringing her to Tatooine to find Shmi. After speaking to Cliegg Lars, the moisture farmer who had freed and married Shmi in the years since Anakin had been away, he found that she had been carried off by Sandpeople, and set out in pursuit on a speeder bike. The young Jedi discovered their camp, and slipped into the tent that contained his mother, most likely locating her with his Jedi senses. Battered, sleep-deprived, and dehydrated, Shmi Skywalker died in his arms, presumably of massive cardiac failure. Anakin allowed the shock of her death to catalyze an explosion of his long-nursed anger and selfishness. He flew into a rage, killing everyone present - even, as he confessed to Padmé later, "the women and children." A number of Jedi, including the recently dead Qui-Gon Jinn, sensed the shock of this massacre, amplified by Anakin's powerful Force presence bordering the Dark Side. Padmé was clearly troubled by what he had done, but had invested herself too much in him to be truly repulsed; she tried to soothe him with sympathy and told about Anakin's hideous act to no one. This fit with the mutual delusion and codependency that unfortunately characterized their relationship. Anakin learned that his friend and mentor, Obi-Wan Kenobi, had been taken hostage by the Geonosian-engineered Confederacy of Independent Systems forces. Ignoring Master Windu's words, he took Padmé with him to save Obi-Wan. They, too, were soon captured and sent to meet their demise in a gladiatorial execution arena. The timely arrival of the Jedi, and eventually the clone troopers, allowed both of them to escape and fight in the ensuing Battle of Geonosis. Anakin and Obi-Wan pursued Count Dooku, Sith Lord and mastermind of the Confederacy. Dooku unleashed a powerful barrage of Force lightning on Anakin, knocking the youth unconscious. Anakin then lost his right arm in a lightsaber battle with the more experienced Dooku. It was replaced a short while later with a mechanical prosthetic. In the first days of the Clone Wars, Anakin married Padmé in a secluded lake retreat on Naboo. They would later struggle to keep this illicit relationship secret.  The Clone Wars The Clone Wars saw Anakin's star continue to rise, and his exploits and accomplishments became legendary. An amazing starfighter pilot, Anakin flew missions over Kamino, Balamak, Virujansi, and elsewhere, cementing a reputation for his unparalleled skills. He custom-modified his Delta-7 Aethersprite starfighter into a unique and deadly vessel that time and time again outperformed any ship on the battle field. Dubbed the "Hero With No Fear", war molded Anakin into a man, but it continued to feed his pride. It was also a lie. Anakin had no fear for his own life, but he was terrified for the lives of his Master, Supreme Chancellor Palpatine, the troops uder his authority, and even R2-D2, who accompanied Anakin whenever he could. It also became increasingly difficult for him to adhere to the strict tenets of the Jedi Code, particularly when the Order itself was thrust into nebulous moral ground in waging a full-scale war. But above all else, Anakin feared for his beloved Padme. He wrote to her when ever he could, and also tried to meet with her on several occasions, but because of their duties they saw each very rarely. And the few times they did, Padme was usually in danger. Anakin during the Clone WarsAt the Battle of Muunilinst, Commander Anakin was in charge of coordinating the space attack against the homeworld of the InterGalactic Banking Clan, a key member of the Confederacy of Independent Systems. His exceptional starfighter piloting skills and leadership led his clone pilots to defeat the enemy forces. Anakin, however, was drawn from the battle by a sleek rogue vessel that flew apart from the enemy swarm. Despite repeated warnings from Obi-Wan not to pursue, Anakin gave chase, and followed the mysterious fanblade starfighter to the jungles of Yavin 4. Beneath the jungle canopy and amid the ruins of ancient Sith temples, Anakin dueled with Asajj Ventress, their ferocious lightsaber attacks illuminating their dark surroundings (the duel was possibly influenced by Exar Kun). Asajj got the drop on Anakin and left with a reminder of the encounter in the form of a scar near his eye. However, Anakin was able to defeat Asajj, who later escaped. But did so only by giving into his anger, and once again the young Jedi had tread dangerously close to the Dark Side of the Force. On the rain-soaked world of Jabiim during the Battle of Jabiim that Skywalker came into his own. Obi-Wan was believed to have been killed in a Separatist attack, and Skywalker led a group of similarly "orphaned" Padawans into battle. In the midst of this battle, Anakin received an urgent message from Supreme Chancellor Palpatine. The Chancellor requested that Anakin oversee the evacuation of Jabiim personally. While it pained Anakin to not fight alongside his comrades in the final push, he had to obey an authority as great – and a friendship as close – as Palpatine's. The evacuation of Jabiim was an ugly, controversial extraction, with the Republic abandoning the local loyalist forces to fend for themselves. Captain Gillmunn one of the leaders the group swore vengeance the Jedi Order and Skywalker and pulled his a blaster on Anakin, who reacted by using the Force to start choking Gillmunn. Such frightening use of the Force came easily to Anakin, though it was the first time he had ever used the mystical energy field in that fashion. After his heroic actions at the Battle of Praesitlyn, Anakin was endowed with the title of Jedi Knight, despite the fact that he never went through the traditional final test, "the trials" before being knighted. During the Outer Rim Sieges, Obi-Wan and Anakin were rarely far apart, being dispatched as a team to various battlefronts, commanding the Open Circle Fleet. Later, on the icy planet of Nelvaan, Anakin experienced visions inside a cave, symbolically depicting his corruption by the Dark Side. Adult Life Anakin at the end of the Clone Wars before his fall to the dark sideIt was during this time when the deadly Separatist droid leader General Grievous made an attack on Coruscant and successfully captured Supreme Chancellor Palpatine. Before the Separatist armada was able to flee Coruscant, the Battle of Coruscant erupted, with Anakin and Obi-Wan racing back from the Outer Rim Territories in an attempt to rescue the "captive" Chancellor. Arriving in the midst of the battle, they stormed the Confederacy's flagship, the Invisible Hand, in their Eta-2 Actis interceptors. The two Jedi fought their way through the ship until they reached the General's Quarters atop a tower, where Palpatine was being held hostage. His arms were strapped to the General's chair, and the two Jedi came to free him. Count Dooku, a.k.a Darth Tyranus, then entered the room, escorted by two super battle droids, to confront the heroes. Palpatine claimed that they were no match for Dooku because he was a Sith Lord. Obi-Wan casually brushed aside Palpatine's words of fear boldly proclaiming, "Sith Lords are our specialty". Unlike their first encounter with Tyranus, Obi-Wan and Anakin fought together against Dooku in a coordinated duel, until the Sith Lord used the Force to choke Kenobi while he simultaneously back-kicked Anakin and threw Obi-Wan across the room, rendering him unconscious and pinning him with a piece of a walkway dislodged by the Force. Anakin fought on with Dooku, eventually letting his emotions get the better of him as Dooku taunted, unleashing all his fear, anger and hatred, and eventually slicing off Dooku's hands, rendering the Sith Lord helpless. It was an act of vengeance from their previous duel, in which Anakin lost his right hand in that duel. Pleased with this outcome, Palpatine urged Anakin to kill Dooku. After Anakin's hesitation to give in to the Chancellor's wishes, with two lightsabers (including Dooku's own curved, red-bladed lightsaber) crossing at the Dooku's neck, he beheaded the shocked Count, killing him instantly. Anakin did not yet have the knowledge that Palpatine was also Darth Sidious, and he did not know that he was being used to betray Dooku so that Palpatine could train the young Jedi the ways of the Dark Side. Anakin immediately regretted this action, citing that it is not the way of the Jedi to kill a foe that had already surrendered. Palpatine, however, eased Anakin's conscience by claiming that such an action of violence was "only natural" in such a situation.  Anakin freed Palpatine from his bonds and escaped the Quarters, carrying an unconscious Obi-Wan on his back, ignoring Palpatine's words to leave him behind. However their escape was short lived as they were soon captured and brought before General Grievous on the bridge. R2-D2 created a distraction, which allowed Anakin and Obi-Wan to escape from their bonds and attack the general's bodyguards and droids. Unfortunately, Grievous was able to escape the Jedi as his flagship began to break apart. Anakin managed to pilot what was left of the ship to a rather hard landing on a platform in an abandoned industrial area on Coruscant. Upon his return to Coruscant, Anakin was reunited with his wife and she informed him of her pregnancy. He was later troubled by visions of Padmé dying in childbirth. Dark times followed when Palpatine made Anakin his representative on the Jedi Council. The other Jedi reluctantly accepted Anakin's placement on the Council, but denied him the rank of Jedi Master. Further, the Jedi Council urged Anakin to keep tabs on Palpatine. This led Anakin to lose his trust in the members of that governing body. He revealed to his beloved wife that he was plagued with uncertainty. ***********it was at this time that Anakin was taken by 'The Planet' to the Mirage Resort.************ -Likes: power, driving fast, mechanics, light sabers, the force, Padme, his mother -Dislikes: rules, the Jedi council, Sand People, slavery, people who don't recognize his talent, society, government or social institutions -Family : Shmi Skywalker (mother), ?
