Description Happy Star Wars Day to you!
This is Karook Bann, my movies-era (former) Jedi Knight. After surviving Order 66 (because he "didn't believe a Jedi should be a soldier" and had nothing to do with the clone wars), he's been hiding out on Tatooine, negotiating with Sand People and using a vibroblade in place of his lightsaber to avoid attracting attention.
Not to say he doesn't still use the lightsaber. It's just that when he does, or uses the Force in non-subtle ways, it means he's in for a very lethal fight.

So, after forgetting about May 4th last year, I made sure to get my planning started early this time. All the same, it was a bit of a hurry to get it done tonight. Recovering my artistic creativity after a Wrimo usually takes me a few more days then this.
While he's a modern-era character, I used a lot of Kotor and Swtor-era inspiration. He's using Force Project, basically, which no Movie character would be caught dead utilizing in such a glowy-hands manner. (Technically, it's a counselor power, and I've previously declared Rook a Knight. I have reasons. Kyle Katarn once told me that Force powers are neither inherently good nor evil, so I'm concluding that if a Jedi can use Drain, a Knight can use Project.)

Vibro blade force user? That's a brave thing you are! The unspoken rule that says "all force sensitives must use Lightsabers" is strong with most fools after all and there's also the fact force strengthening can only go so far to make a non-lightsaber resistant to strikes.

How right you are! (Though I wouldn't call them fools. Lightsabers are cool. XD)
I designed Rook's Vibroblade after ones in Kotor, when they used a cortosis-weave to make them stand up to lightsabers. Maybe not as good as a lightsaber, but better then a modern vibroblade. ^^ I've always thought it's be nice if, while digging around in the sand during the Jedi-hunt years, he discovered some old, Kotor-era stuff to play with.
