Creating A Backstory For A Jedi Sentinel

[Teagan Rea]

Hello everyone,

Teagan Rea here, I am a in a Jedi school, and I am trying to come up with a back story for my character. I have a backstory for my other character that one was easier than this character. The other one was a Sith but since this one is a Jedi and I am having writers block. I would be very grateful to have some help to get around this block for I can have it ready for my first performance which is not until April. But please help a Jedi out.

Thanks,

Teagan Rea

thank you, Teagan Rea is my Force name for my Jedi School

That's cool. did they give it to you, or did you get to choose it?

[Teagan Rea]

I chose it, because if I get to have a child one day, and if it is a girl this would be her name. The name itself is a unisex Celtic name for guys or girls

That's cool. I have met a couple of Teagans, but I didn't get to know them very well.

That a shame I love the name Teagan, hope we can be friends.

We can try.

I hope you get your character figured out. If you need more help, I would ask Darth Knox or B1ondeange1 if they have anything that might help. I'm sure there are others as well, but I don't really know who else to point you towards.

Thanks you

Firstly, welcome to the forum Teagan. The character sheet previously mentioned is better suited when you are coming up with characters for a screenplay. If you just want an individual character here is an easier more condensed version.

1- Start with the basics:

Species, gender, skin colour, hair colour, year of birth, planet of birth (for help with planets check out starwars.wikia)

2- From there you can move onto the next important things: Jedi or Sith. If A Jedi, then come up with a name (there are star wars name generators you can google if you're struggling). If you are a Sith, come up with a real name and then a Darth name.

3- You can then start fleshing out the rest of the back story; does your character have any siblings, what happened to their parents or was he/she an orphan? How did they discover they were force sensitive? Who trained them? If they're a Sith how did they fall to the darkside?

Eventually you may find that while you are figuring all this out that your creative mind kicks in and new ideas flow.

I did all of the above and ended up with this backstory http://www.saberforum.com/index.php?topic=27744.0

Hope that helps
