Jensaarai

Background
sourceEC
New in SW5eBrand-new SW5e concept: a Force-user background that blends martial combat with armor-crafting and battlefield versatility. Depths of Duality gives you scholarly insight into both Light and Dark arts and lets you identify famous Jedi Masters and Sith by their works.

You are a Jensaarai, a Force user who has come to understand the failings of both Jedi inactivity and Sith malevolence. While they wield lightsabers, a true mark of skill among the Jensaarai is the crafting of their armor. Each suit is perfectly unique to the wearer, and is frequently (but not always) adorned and shaped to represent an animal that the Jensaarai finds kinship with, up to and potentially including additional mounted weapons or sensors to further emulate that creature.

While the Jensaarai train in, and will use dark side powers when necessary, they seek to avoid true corruption. They are not evil, nor are they wholly good either. They are anti-heroes, and well-practiced in this craft. In addition, the Jensaarai train in more than the lightsaber, employing whatever tools are at hand to best fit the job.

Feature: Depths of Duality. Due to the corruption of the Jedi training done to the pre-Jensaarai, you have a unique insight into both the Light and Dark side of the Force, as well as its history, applications, and techniques in a scholarly manner.

You are well versed in the above concepts, and can recall key information related to them. However, if the research was hidden from the public and you have not had experience working with it, you can only partially understand it. You also recognize well-known Jedi Masters and Sith Lords by their works and marks.

Skill Proficiencies. Choose two from Insight, Intimidation, Lore, and Perception

Jensaarai are shaped by the unique capacity of their upbringing. Their study of the duality of the Force manifests in their mannerisms and ideals. Their bond might be their family or their armor. Their flaws might be some a hatred of the Jedi or Sith or a desire to become one or the other.
