History: Dubbed possibly the most influential Jedi in history, this is the story of Jedi Master Shawn "K1ddy" Faulkner.

Born in the Lower City of Taris, K1ddy grew up with a poor family and a father in the military. Atleast that was what he had thought. His father left one day when K1ddy was 5, never returning to the family. Nobody knew what had happened to him, but a Jedi had come to his door bringing K1ddy's mother a crystal. It was a sad day, but K1ddy lived on. Throughout his life, he had lived next door to one Sarah Jane who he found to be a great love interest up until he was 16. Upon his 16th birthday, the same Jedi that visited him that day he found out his father was lost had come again to take K1ddy away to be trained as a Jedi. It was then that everything clicked in the mind of the boy. The crystal was a lightsaber crystal and his father was a Jedi. After making it to Dantooine, K1ddy was trained in the basic arts of the force by the Jedi Master Rhia. After this, Elvenhitman taught him how to fight and defend himself with a lightsaber. Seravoc then finished his training by teaching the more complex force powers. Once K1ddy returned to Taris, he found that his family was gone, including Sarah Jane. Saddened, K1ddy tried to move on with his life, creating a Jedi Enclave on the Upper City of Taris. K1ddy also took control of the Taris government and helped clean up the mess's of the Lower and Under cities. Taris was once again beautiful, but K1ddy's love was still missing.

Soon after, the Jedi all met up on Taris in order to try and form some ground rules and basics for the Jedi. it was here that the first Jedi Council since Axem Steel's time more than 40 years earlier. With the Jedi Order is such disarray, it became apparent that a Jedi Council was needed. After a vote among the Jedi Order, the first Jedi Council became Jedi Knight K1ddy, Jedi Knight ObiJedi, Jedi Knight Bandit, Jedi Master Elvenhitman, Jedi Master Thaed, Jedi Master Reym, and Jedi Master Renesito.

It had seemed as though the Jedi Order had been organized with the new Council in place, but there seemed to be great corruption among the Jedi Order. A spy was found among the ranks, causing arguments to start between K1ddy and Renesito about security and who was doing their job. Jedi Master Reym began to become seduced by the Dark Side, leading his pupils down the path with him before being driven off on countless occassions by K1ddy, Renesito, and Chris.

Jedi Master Thaed was next in showing signs of being a follower of the Dark Path, taking the lead of the Sith Palpatine and talking of leading a different path. Being brought before the Council, Renesito showed his true colors, bringing out his hatred towards Thaed in having him banned, but also declared open season on the Jedi for doing even the smallest thing wrong. From this, the Jedi had become nearly extinct due to Renesito striking down many of those who were doing actually nothing wrong and hopefuls who didn't fully understand the nature of the force. K1ddy and Rhia saw to it that he was brought down in battle and expelled from the Jedi Order never to return again.

For a while, the dwindeling Jedi numbers were outmatched by an overpowering Sith force like the past. Lead by their Dark Lord Kira her Sith Lords and Knights kept a tight lock on the Jedi, making it difficult for them to rebuild into larger numbers to keep the Dark influence wild in the galaxy. With somewhere around 8-12 actual Jedi left, there wasn't much that could be done about the problem. Elvenhitman forced himself into exile away from the Jedi leaving Rhia as the only chance the Jedi had left. While K1ddy had been granted the rank of Master during this time he was not seen as a strong leader after the turmoil that came to be on the last Council which fell to peices. This position had been granted to Rhia while K1ddy had also seemed to be in some sort of exile, being chased by countless bounty hunters trying to take his life.

Rhia knew that she needed help in trying to rebuild the Order, not being able to do it alone. She was able to turn Odin away from his darkened path. The two of them set up rules for the Jedi as well as the first training guidelines. Most of these which still stand to this day. The Jedi Order was renamed the New Jedi Order, which stood for the time of reform. The only thing that was needed was a Council. With a two person Council not being anything to sneeze about, the the two sought out another. The choice was K1ddy who Rhia had trained, but K1ddy had also trained Odin before he began to experiment with the Dark Side. Three different generations of Jedi all on the same Council. K1ddy had promised to do his best for the Jedi the best he could through this position; knowing very well that Odin had greatly surpassed him in skill and Rhia was a wizard in her own right. Sometimes taking on more than 5 Padawans at a time, K1ddy would struggle to keep an active eye on the galaxy for his former love.

Upon hearing about the reestablishment of the Jedi Order, Elvenhitman returned to find a new Jedi Council. At first, he seemed to except it, even though he demanded a position in the Council a countless number of times. For a month, he had disapeared from the eyes of the Jedi, finding corruption where he was treading, Elvenhitman had fallen down the dark path. It was then, he turned to go for revenge. First being against his former student K1ddy. The two had met in a docking bay on the planet of Taris with Elven suprising the Jedi Master in hopes of trying to convert him. In a battle of Master vs student, K1ddy became victorious and saw to it that Elvenhitman would no longer be a threat by running him off to the outer edges of the galaxy. Rhia was heart broken with Elven being one of her greatest friends from her early years of training. It was decided by the three that Elven would never return to the Jedi Order and was banished.

With the Bounty Hunting business skyrocketing, it seemed as though they needed to be stopped. More and more of the Bounty Hunters being recruited for the contracts seem to be Sith members. It was then, that the Council decided to strike and take down Ord Mantell. K1ddy ended up in battle with the Bounter Hunter Leader Morte, who he was forced to slay. This allowed for the Bounty Hunters power to diminish for some time.

The Jedi Order devote the time and effort to rebuild the Lower and Under Cities of Taris, making them just as equal as the Upper City and poor money into the economy. The planet begins to boom greater than it ever had with Jedi Master K1ddy moderating the government and military movement.

K1ddy's mind began to collapse due to lost memories of his home in the lower City of Taris and his lost love Sarah Jane. The Lower City had been attacked by a Mandalorian group and killed many of the older civilians and taking the younger ones captive. After searching Coruscant, he found useful information from a shady Rodian about where he could find his lost love. She was sold to the Hutts on Nal Hutta. There, K1ddy single handed stormed the Palace of the Hutts and broke out Sarah Jane with only minor blaster wounds to his torso. He would later train her as a Jedi and the two later were married.

Jedi ranks had begun skyrocketing. Newer Jedi in the forms of Cazador, Gurthok, White Lancer, Hod, and the glorious return of Jedi founder Axem Steel who return from his Exile in the outer rim. This caused the Jedi Council to expand to include five members. These were Odin, Rhia, Zuckuss, Axem Steel, and K1ddy. Corruption probes among the new Council began to surface as the Jedi Knight Okuma began showing signs of the Dark Side and was to be forced into exile. When he would not listen, Odin went in disguised to try and kill him being found out. While the Council knew about the actions and authorized them, the Jedi dissapproved. It was then that Odin self exiled himself from the Order.
