Star Wars Saga/D&D 5th Hybrid [OOC/Rolls]

Here's my character, Jor Dan. If there is no Grey Jedi Order in this universe, then I think it's one of Jor Dan's missions to create one, even if he hasn't fully developed that concept, yet.
I wanted to post it here before putting in the gallery, to see if it needed any changing.
[sblock=Backstory]Jor Dan came from the Miraluka home world of Alpheridies. At a young age, he was found to be unusually gifted with the Force, even for a Miraluka. A Jedi on their home world at the time convinced his parents he would be better served by training with the Jedi, who could hone his growing talents.
Jor did fairly well at the academy, proving himself a dedicated scholar with a mind for the intricacies of the Force. Perhaps not as powerful as some, nor as strong or dextrous as others, he nevertheless made up for this perceived lack of skill by his high intellect. He never stopped studying, searching, learning.
It was this learning that proved to be his downfall. Or at least, that is what the Jedi Council would tell you. Jor was an idealist, one who saw the way the universe could be, not just how it was. But he was also a scholar, who knew the histories of the Jedi. Where other students took the Jedi Code for granted, simply accepting what was taught to them by the Council, Jor found the origins, the reasons why the Jedi changed their ways and adopted such a strict code.
In his opinion, which became more firm the more he researched, the Jedi Order went too far in their code. Instead of teaching how to control one's emotions and how to use the Dark Side, they taught that the Dark Side was a black hole, from which nothing escapes. In his mind, they perverted the truth of the Force into a caricature of itself, where one side was the boogie man, to be feared and avoided, and the other was "Good". To Jor Dan's point of view, neither side was good or bad. The Light Side was the power of life, creation and stability, while the Dark Side was the power of Death, entropy and change. But anything beautiful must be made up of both. A field of flowers dies every winter, to be born again every spring. If those flowers did not die, new flowers would never have a chance to bloom. It is the so called "Dark Side" which provides the path for new creation to spring, providing the fertilizer for the Light Side to flourish.
At least, this is what Jor believed. His beliefs were not met with open arms, to say the least. Eventually, he left the Order, to travel among the stars and seek the truth.
He came across a group, who called themselves The Revanites, who believed similarly to him. He studied with them, became one of their member for a time, but they were too focused on the individual of Revan. Great as he was, Jor did not believe any one man was worthy of such devotion, and feared for the direction of his fellow Revanites.
He left them soon after, keeping good connections but no longer following their path, when he began wondering about his own destiny. About the destiny of the Force. There was the Jedi, and there was the Sith. Light and Dark. Could there also be Grey? An order dedicated to keeping the balance? Not like the Revanites, who believed the Force to be a tool to further whatever ends they believed were necessary, but dedicated to Balancing the Force itself? A third option, for those who wish to make the galaxy a better place, but are not cruel enough to be Sith and not pious enough to be Jedi. Was there a Grey Jedi Order hiding somewhere in the galaxy? If not, perhaps it was time there was.
In light of this, he developed a new code, modeled after the Jedi and Sith. Whether it was created by him, or a creation of others and merely intuited through the Force, he does not know. Either way, it became the tenants he lived his life by.
There is Emotion, yet peace.
There is Serenity, yet Passion.
There is Chaos, yet Harmony.
There is no Life, without Death.
I serve the Balance, and through It
The Force Shall Guide Me.

I'd be honored.
And thrilled to see the gand in action with all the others.
Awesome! It will take some time... The attempts of Jihahna I made were sub-standard and I'm jumping around different software until there's a render style I like. Then I need to push further with learning modelling etc, but i'll show you results when i feel i've got something reasonable.
Does anyone NOT want me to do this?

How many credits can I start with, being level 6? Cause I'd really like to have built a double bladed lightsaber, one blade blue and one blade violet. Preferably with the ability to separate them into separate sabers, but that's not that important. According to the class, a level 5 jedi can make a double bladed lightsaber for 3000 credits.
He looks good... the only thing I can add is that at this time the Jedi Council and the Jedi Code are not as firmly fixed as they are both the prequels. The Jedi Council is only a few hundred years old and has not really started "imposing" its edicts onto other more free-thinking Jedi. Some Jedi come to the order as adults and only a few are trained from birth. Most start their training in their teens or early adulthood.
So he might have found a group who have started the idea of the Grey Knights and are pursuing these ideas (and have been at least since Revan). Your character might have been brought up within the more hard-core Jedi Council that is just started to gain acceptance with some of the more conservative members.
Sure you can start with that... if you want something(s) else that are within reason sure also
That works. The main thing is he believes the Dark Side is merely a natural product of the universe, not some great evil to be avoided at all cost. He believes, like when the US Army exposes their cadets to tear gas, that exposure and experimentation, in a controlled environment, is more productive than simply preaching abstinence (so to speak).
In the KOTOR games, there were items, such as the Grey Jedi Robe, which suggested there were Jedi out there who followed a middle path, and decided to wear Grey to denote this. That would be a few hundred years before this setting, so I suppose what he's doing isn't original. But in his own mind, he considers himself a "Grey Jedi", vehemently disagreeing with both Jedi and Sith as to the nature of the Force.
Whether he's right or not is a philosophical debate.

Hmm starship probably not... I would consider a speeder or something but not much more right now... the group already has a starship though. I might consider a fighter that could be 'strapped' or something similar to their transport... I would have to think about it a bit more...
