~~The Journal of Jessi Skywalker~~

73 ABY

Begin recording?

Dear Journal,

Okay, my mom told me that it would be good to start a journal to try to figure out my place in the world. So, here it is.

I guess I should tell you a little about myself first. My name is Jessi Skywalker. Yep, I?m a Skywalker. My dad is Ben Skywalker and Mom is Jysella Horn Skywalker. Two very famous Jedi. I also have two older brothers, Dane and Ian. I?ll be sixteen in two standard months and as you can imagine haven?t had much of a life outside the Jedi Academy at Ossus or here on Coruscant. I like Coruscant, there is always something going on. But my Master and my parents won?t let me out of their sight for too long. They keep telling me Coruscant is a dangerous place. But I?m bored and wish we?d go on a mission soon. Oh, I guess I should tell you who my Master is. My mom?s brother, Valin is my Master, but we haven?t been on any missions yet. My parents are both on the Jedi Council with my Uncle Valin and my grandfather Corran and my grandmother Mara. My grandfather Luke was killed by Sith Lord Darth Krayt, who was also my cousin Jacen Solo, during the war. So, I never got to know my grandfather. My other cousin Jaina, who now is the Empress of New Empire, had defeated her twin brother but they never found his body. And I know my dad wonders if he is really dead but my mom tells him that he worries too much. I?ve only met Jaina, her husband the Emperor Jagged Fel and my great aunt and uncle once and I would love to see them again. But the Jedi doesn't like that she has created a new order of what they call grey Jedi. But I don't care about that. I just really wish I?d get to see more of the galaxy with Master Horn, but I guess nothing important enough is going on anywhere that qualifies sending a Council member; so here I?m stuck.

Then last night I snuck out of my home and headed for the Mid-Level. I was determined to have some fun which I sure did, for a while anyway. I had a lot of fun pretending that I was someone else. I went dancing in a cantina. I met this really cute guy and I let him think I was older than sixteen. Okay, I?m not sixteen yet but I?m close enough. Anyway, he was tall, had dark hair and deep brown eyes. And he was a Starfleet pilot. How awesome is that. Of course, I know that I?m one of the best pilots there is, except for maybe my cousin Corry. But I wouldn?t tell him that.

Well, all was going well until my oldest brother, Dane and Corry came in and recognized me dancing with the pilot. Force, was I ever embarrassed when they surrounded us and Dane, who is ten years older than me, grabbed the guy and told him to get his hands off his little sister. He immediately began to defend his actions until he recognized Corry, who happens to be the poor guy?s commanding officer. Corry is a Jedi but he is also a commander in the Navy. Of course, it?s in his blood as much as being a Jedi is. His mom is my aunt Syal. She?s a doctor now, but during the war with Corellia she was a pilot too.

To say the least, I wished the floor would have opened up and sucked me in. The guy, whose name was Rohn, I think. Anyway, he gave me a dirty look for tricking him and left us as he coursed under

 

I love it!
Yep!
Love it love it love it!

 

Sweet. Love it, love it, love it.

 

Jessi is a great OC and I really like how you tie all your characters with your other stories.

She sounds like a teenager dealing with normal teenage stuff in SW style.

Looking forward to following her teenage struggles.

 

Jeez poor teen! she has over protective parents and much older brothers! If that wasn't bad enough everyone is force sensitive and can figure out what she's up to!

Cool start!

 

that was great please add me to your list

 

Hey, that was great, I really like Jessi. Poor girl, with two older brothers and everyone force-sensitive in the family. I'm looking forward to how this goes on

 

I like it. I love the cantina part. Great OC.

 

Thanks everyone for reading and responding...

I'm glad that you all like Jessi...

Dear Journal,

That sounds so lame. But I suppose that?s how you begin your journal. I absolutely hate ?Dear Diary? so, I guess journal it is.

Well, anyway, I?ve been grounded for a week now and am about ready to go stare crazy. I was finally allowed out of the house but I had to be with a family member at all times. So, I actually went to the Temple library today with my brother Ian. I have to admit, I hadn?t set foot in that place for, well, I don?t know how it?s been but it?s been a long time. But it was either go to the library with my brother or go with Mom or Dad to their offices and listen to boring Council stuff all day. Uncle Valin and Aunt Syal are visiting Great-grandpa on Corellia and Dane and Corry weren?t options. So, I figured I was picking the lesser of the evils.

Of my two brothers, Ian is the most like me. We even look alike, so much so that we?ve been mistaken as twins. But he?s almost three years older than me. We both have dad?s red hair and Mom?s green eyes and we?re both tall and slender framed, which Grandma Mara says must come from a combination of the Skywalker and Terrik sides. Of course, we?ve seen holos of Grandpa Luke and Aunt Leia and we know they were both short. Sure Great-grandpa Booster is tall, but he?s also?oh how do you say this nicely?he?s so big. But anyway I?m not going to argue.

Dane has taken after the Horn?s more. He?s built like Grandpa Corran and has Mom?s dark hair, but he has Dad?s blue eyes. I guess both my brothers would be considered good looking from a female perspective, but to me they?ve always been dweebs. But anyway, Dane is the more outgoing of the two but then he?s the oldest. He?s engaged to another Jedi by the name of Cathryn Tainer. She?s the daughter of Masters Doran and Tahiri Tainer and is two years older than Ian. Well, anyway it is funny because Master Doran doesn?t like Dane much. But that?s a story for another entry. Ian is shyer than Dane and hasn?t even really gone out on many dates. I think the reason so many people think we?re twins is because compared to him I seem as old as him.

Well, let me get back to my wonderful day at the library with my bookworm brother. The library here on Coruscant is huge. The one on Ossus is just as big, and everything here has a copy at the Academy, but something about this place makes it seem much bigger. I found myself roaming the shelves, bored to death and wishing that I?d gone with Mom. But then finally I found a chip that caught my interest. I pulled it and headed for the first available terminal.

But stopped dead in my tracks when I saw him sitting there. He had long black curling hair and from the looks of it he was tall. Since I?m tall, I like tall guys. He had a handsome profile with sharp features. He looked to be about Ian?s age, but I don?t remember ever seeing him before. But if he was in the Jedi library, he had to be a Jedi. To say the least I was very intrigued. I took a deep breath, ran my fingers through my long hair and made sure my green robes were straight. I pinched my cheeks to give my fair complexion some color as I stepped forward. The reason I thought the datachip was interesting completely forgotten.

I sat down beside him at the empty terminal and put in the chip. But before I started it, I looked over at him and he smiled at me. Force, he had the most beautiful smile and his eyes, oh?long lashes and the deepest hazel irises. I about fell over when he said ?Hi.?

All I could say was ?Hi? back. He turned back to his datapad and I looked over at mine. But I couldn?t even remember how to turn it on. Finally, after awhile I looked back at him. He was looking at me!!! I didn?t know what to do. So, I simply told him my name as I held out my hand. He smiled and took it to shake it. Even his name was gorgeous.

Justyn

Justyn Durron.

Oh, damn, Mom?s calling me?I g

 

I like this diary challenge quite a bit. I think I'm going to have to to try this.

Wow, a Durron kid has got to be some trouble, no matter who who the mother is. I can't wait to see what happens here. Please PM if you're thinking about stuff like that.

Thanks dear

 

Yay, Jessi meets a Durron! Great, I like that idea!
And he seems to be as good-looking as Kyp...........who is his mother? Who is the lucky woman that got him?

 

I really like the descriptions of her brothers and Booster. hehe!

And this Justyn sounds dreamy. If he's anything like his dad... watch out!

Great addition to your diary!

Okay, because everyone wants to know more......
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Begin recording?

Okay I?m back. Mom can be such a pain sometimes. Well, let me tell you about Justyn.

We talked for a long time until his grandfather came to get him. I still am having a hard time believing that Master Durron is Justyn?s grandfather. But when I asked Mom about him she told me that even Master Durron was surprised too. I still don?t think I understand what she meant but then Justyn hadn?t been trained at the Academy and neither was his mother. Maybe Master Durron didn?t know about them. I don?t know how you can have a kid and not know, but then I guess it can happen.

Oh well, I don?t care about that sort of thing.

Justyn is from Dathomir and had just arrived two days ago and is staying with his grandfather. His mom is Master Durron?s daughter and I guess was born sometime before the Vong war. Her name is Kajen Djo and is from the same clan as Queen Mother Allana from Hapes, who if the rumors are true is related to me?somehow. But anyway, Justyn?s father is from another clan and he has three sisters who have been trained as Witches. But since he is a Force-sensitive male his mother thought it would be better if he?d become a Jedi. He explained that, it is fairly uncommon for Dathomiri males to be Force-sensitive and if they are they aren?t usually very strong nor are they ever trained. Therefore, when he began showing more potential than acceptable for a male he was sent to Master Kirana Ti?s small Jedi Academy on Dathormir. But for him to be Knighted he had to finish his formal education and take his trials here. So, he came here with Master Ti?s sponsorship and instructions to look for Master Durron.

Can you believe that? He?s Dathomiri, no wonder he?s so exotic. But I do wonder why he?s using the name Durron instead of Djo. Since if I remember my sociology right, he should be using his mother?s last name. Oh wait, if she?s Master Durron?s daughter Durron would be?{Laugh}, I guess he is. In a way. I guess. Oh, well, I might ask him about that sometime.

He?s only seventeen but he looks older than that. He asked me about myself and I told him that I?m almost sixteen and who I am. Yes, I told him the truth about my age. I know big surprise. He could have cared less that I?m younger than him, but really seemed impressed to meet a Skywalker and that embarrassed me at first. Because everyone thinks of us as something we aren?t. But he soon got over it and I was glad. I hate it when people treat me different because of what my last name is. I think my life is pretty boring and I told him that. He laughed saying that he would figure living on Coruscant would be the most exciting thing out there. Oh, he has a nice laugh that eerily reminds me of Master Durron?s which I think is odd since they haven?t ever met before. Anyway, I told him that Coruscant is fun, if I?d be allowed to explore. He told me that his grandfather doesn?t want him to go too far from the Temple either. And I was glad, because if you don?t know where you?re going the city can be pretty dangerous.

Then Master Durron came to get him to take him to a class. Master Durron seemed surprised to find us talking but didn?t say much. I wonder what he?ll tell Justyn about me. I know he doesn?t like my grandfather Corran and Grandma Mara and him don?t get along either. But as far as I know, the Master doesn?t have problems with Dad or Mom. Unless they disagree about something in the Council, then Dad calls him stubborn and Mom says she dreads the day he?s made Grand Master. Anyway, I hope he doesn?t tell Justyn about some of my stupid stunts though.

Before he left he asked if he?d see me around and flashed me a smile. I about died. He wants to see me again!! Of course, he just told me all about himself in the two hours we were there. I think he might actually like me. Can you believe that? But then I think I really like him.

I can?t wait until tomorrow. Ian and I are go

 

that was great! So she met a cute guy at the library! I only wish that would happen to me I can't wait to read more, and thank you for the extra fast post!

 

Nice development!

I loved the things Ben and Jys said about Kyp

Did I miss how old Jessi is, or have you not dropped that one yet (sorry to ask)?

I'm saddened by how little Jessi knows of her family, but it does make unfortunate sense given the way the timeline's going.

Can't wait for more. This bunny seems to be running rabid all over the boards.

 

Jessi is coming along nicely! She seems 16, frustrated by her parents, likes her brothers (even if they are dweebs,) knows a cute guy when she sees one! The second entry provided insight to her family very creatively. Now I can picture everyone and I have a little idea what they are like. Having read "Dragon Call" helps too.

I love that Justyn is Kyp's grandson, great tie in with Dorothmir Witches. There's tons of backstory waiting all over the place.

What year ABY are we at? I like to figure all the older characters ages out also.

 

Good to hear you mention Allana's little secret, even if Jessi doesn't know it.

 

So Justyn is Kyp's grandson, interesting. And Dathomiri.........very exotic.......love it
No, Jessi and Justyn mustn't be related, not in this case!

@Alishu: Yes, I wish something like that would happen to me, too. *sighs*

 

I finally got a chance to read this. It seems like there are several new things I'd like to read but can't find the time.

So Kyp has a grandson huh?

Sounds interesting.

Nice posts.

Thanks...Don't we all wish this would happen to us...

Nice development!
Thanks...I love giving Kyp children he knew nothing about....
I loved the things Ben and Jys said about Kyp
I can only imagine...
Did I miss how old Jessi is, or have you not dropped that one yet (sorry to ask)?
In the first post she told us that she is two months away from being sixteen, but she likes to tell people she's older...
I'm saddened by how little Jessi knows of her family, but it does make unfortunate sense given the way the timeline's going.
But I think it's realistic...she probably never met Allana.
Can't wait for more. This bunny seems to be running rabid all over the boards.
Thanks...yes Kyp with kids seems to be rabid...

Thanks...I really like Jessi...but she is still a developing character so we'll see where this goes...And yes she sure does
Thanks...I don't particurally like writing in first person...a single POV yes, but not first person...and this is even a more limited form of story telling...so trying to creatively discribe and give insight to the characters has been a challenge.
Thanks, even though this is not a tie in with DC, I know what you mean...I'm using the story line and the speculation I set in the songfic I wrote that was about Valin and Syal...
I love that Justyn is Kyp's grandson, great tie in with Dorothmir Witches. There's tons of backstory waiting all over the place.
After reading some of Ars Longa's stuff (you know what I'm referring too) and about Kyp's friendship with Kirana Ti, I began to think about possible ties with the whitches...and yep, there's almost too much backstory....
What year ABY are we at? I like to figure all the older characters ages out also.
Well, since I'm pretty much writing this by the seat of my pants with only a few ideas to guide me...I hadn't actually figured any ages out so I just did....
The year is 73 ABY
Here they are...
Corran, Mara and Mirax are around 91
Kyp is 78
Valin is 61
Syal is 56
Jysella is 51
Ben is 47
Corry Wedge Antilles-Horn is 28
Dane Skywalker is 26
Ian Skywalker is 18
Justyn (Djo) Durron is 17
and Jessi is almost 16
And because I had no idea what year it was before I began to write, I guess Booster would be really old ...



SilSolo
Good to hear you mention Allana's little secret, even if Jessi doesn't know it.
I'm sure by this far into the future it was bound to come out....



EleyaDurron
So Justyn is Kyp's grandson, interesting. And Dathomiri.........very exotic.......love it
I like giving Kyp a legacy even if it isn't with Jaina...
No, Jessi and Justyn mustn't be related, not in this case!
No, far from it but, he is related to Allana...distantly, anyway...
@Alishu: Yes, I wish something like that would happen to me, too. *sighs*

I finally got a chance to read this. It seems like there are several new things I'd like to read but can't find the time.
I know that feeling...But thanks for clicking...
So Kyp has a grandson huh?
Yep....and three granddaughters...[

 

so far I'm enjoying this. It's well written and very interesting. Can't wait for the next post.

 

I like what Jysella and Ben said about Kyp. I like the way you tied Justyn into clan Djo, I think that makes a possible romance more interesting. Over all I find it very interesting.

Please add me to your PM list.

Aramada

 

Thanks ...this is just something fun...And I really haven't even put much thought into it except my OC's personalities...Jessi, Justyn, Dane, Corry and Ian...So we will see where this goes...

Thanks...I figured age wouldn't have inproved his stubborness any...
Thanks about Justyn being a Djo and it being interesting. I was hoping I wouldn't freak anyone out by that...
Thanks again for reading and I'll shoot you a PM when I update...

Because I'm sure more than one person is wondering this:

Dear Journal,

Oh, something terrible happened today?

But let me start from the beginning.

I met Justyn again today in the library. I knew my parents and Dane were getting very suspicious of my sudden interest in Jedi history though. So far I?ve blackmailed Ian enough to keep quiet about Justyn. I just didn?t know what Dad would say about him. He?s always been so over-protective of me. Grandma Mirax tells me to just ignore him because it?s just that I?m his ?little girl? and he doesn?t like that I?m growing up. But sometimes like with Justyn, I wish he?d lighten up and trust my judge of character. Sure, maybe my other boyfriends weren?t that great, but did he really have to show them his lightsaber collection and tell them that he's a master of every lightsaber form known to the Jedi? Or that he could have been a Sith Lord before he was even sixteen? Come on, is that really necessary? Well, anyway I really didn?t what him scaring Justyn away before I have a chance with him. But I may have done that myself.

Today was the third day of meeting with him and I realized that despite his openness about himself and his family on Dathormir, he?s very shy. I think it probably has to do with growing up on Dathomir more than anything. But he is also the most courteous guy I think I know our age. He stands when I approach and he?s also asked me if he could get me a drink yesterday. I never had a guy volunteer to get me anything. They all seem to think that because I?m a Jedi, I would want to do everything myself and not be treated like a girl. Maybe it?s because Justyn is the first Jedi I?ve seriously considered more than just a friend. I don?t know. But I do know this, I definitely consider him more than a just a friend. Especially after my thoughts when I saw him today. I was surprised when I saw him dressed in a more traditional Dathomiri way. Sweet Force, I thought I?d lose it and drool all over him. He must have picked on my barely controlled emotions because he blushed, which only made him all the more hotter.

Well, anyway, after his embarrassment at my admiration and mine at being so terribly obvious about my feelings were over he asked me to go on a walk with him. I tried to sneak out of the library but Ian caught us and I about died when the idiot reminded me that I was grounded and had to stay with him. If I ever had the inclination to become a Sith it would have been then, because I felt like throttling the dweeb. Justyn was sweet about it, though, and said that it was okay if I couldn?t go, but it wasn?t. I wanted to see him some place other than the boring library.

I eventually reasoned with the twerp that shares my parents that Justyn and I weren?t going anywhere outside the Temple and that since Mom and Dad were both here too, I wasn?t violating my grounding. I had never been so glad to leave that place.

Finally, outside and heading for the Room of a Thousand Fountains, we talked about our training and other ?safe? topics. Nothing of which I can remember because I was too distracted by his muscular arms and the bit of tanned toned chest I could see under the Rancor hide vest he was wearing. But realizing I had to really say something a bit more intelligent then I had up to that point, I asked him if he?d like to spar sometime. He grinned and nodded and then I noticed his lightsaber which was made from the traditional fang from a Rancor. Of all the Dathomiri Jedi I?ve met over the years, I had only known two males, Justyn being one of them. But unlike Xalor Ti, Master Kirana Ti?s grandson, Justyn had a power about him that crackled. I think sparring with him would be an experience t
