Quote:



KILIAN RANGER
Type: Guardian of Kilia IV
Era: Clone Wars/Rebellion Era (also suitable for Legends campaigns)

Capsule: You are a sworn defender of Kilia IV, bound by oath and honor to enforce justice and protect your people. Armed with a siang lance and shield gauntlet, you blend disciplined martial skill with the mystical power of the Force. Whether you rise as a Squire, Ranger, or Lord, the path ahead demands strength of body, mind, and spirit.

DEXTERITY 3D
Blaster, brawling parry, dodge, melee combat, melee parry, missile weapons
KNOWLEDGE 3D
Law enforcement, planetary systems, scholar (Kilian Code), streetwise, survival, tactics
MECHANICAL 2D+2
Beast riding, repulsorlift operation, space transports piloting
PERCEPTION 3D+1
Bargain, command, information, persuasion, search, sneak
STRENGTH 3D
Brawling, climbing/jumping, stamina, swimming
TECHNICAL 3D
First aid, melee weapon repair, shield gauntlet repair

Special Abilities:
Kilian Discipline: Due to spiritual training and code of conduct (+1D to willpower or Control when resisting deception, fear, or corruption, +1D to command when rallying Kilian NPCs or allies with a shared sense of duty or honor)

Force Skills:
If the character is Force-sensitive you can place some of your beginning die into Force Skills (Control, Alter or Sense).
Force Powers: These are Force powers typically shown by Kilian Rangers trained in the use of the Force. This not an exhaustive list and players are encouraged to pick additional or different powers (with GM permission)
Control: Remain conscious, accelerate healing, control pain
Sense: Life detection, sense force, combat sense
Alter: Telekinesis
Move: 10
Force Sensitive?
Force Points: 1
Character Points: 5

Equipment: Siang lance (STR+3D), shield gauntlet, Kilian Ranger robes (no armor bonus, grants social recognition), utility belt (with basic survival gear, medpac, rope, glowrod), code medallion (symbol of your rank).

Background: Born into the agrarian nobility of Kilia IV, you were raised among fading technology and enduring traditions. As the youngest of three children, you were never destined to inherit land, but your early displays of insight, intuition, and uncanny calm marked you for a different path. At age 12, you were chosen as a Squire to one of the last surviving Kilian Lords—a reclusive but wise defender named Lord Shava Vell.

Trained in the ways of the Kilian Code—a chivalric doctrine inspired by ancient Jedi tales passed through oral tradition—you learned how to wield the siang lance and defend yourself with the shield gauntlet, all while being taught to serve justice, balance, and the will of the Force. As you matured, you journeyed across Kilia's remote provinces, settling disputes, warding off pirates, and uncovering forgotten relics in the abandoned tech vaults of his ancestors.

Personality: Stoic but compassionate, with a natural sense of duty and gravitas. You listen before speaking, respects even your adversaries, and rarely raises your voice — yet command attention when you do. Though many mistake you for superstitious or backward due to your feudal upbringing, you are deeply curious and respectful of knowledge, especially regarding the ancient Jedi or distant galactic affairs.

You lives by the tenets of the Kilian Code:
Protect the weak
Uphold balance and harmony
Use power only when words fail

However, your unwavering adherence sometimes causes friction with outsiders, especially offworlders who dismiss your ways as obsolete.

Goals:
Preserve the Kilian Rangers: With fewer than five known Rangers alive, you seek to train a new generation of Squires before the tradition dies with you.

Uncover Jedi Truths: Rumors of Jedi artifacts or lost knowledge beyond the system ignite your imagination. You dream of learning whether the Kilian Rangers truly inherited a fragment of their legacy—or merely echo myth.

Guard Kilia's People: Whether defending frontier villages from raiders or resolving blood feuds among nobles, you see your role as a guardian of peace and order in an unstable world.

Resist Corruption: You fear the growing ambition of some nobles who have fallen to darkness or made deals with smugglers and warlords. You must confront these threats—sometimes from within his own family.
Understand the Dark Side: You have sensed it before—in battle, in betrayal, in the bitter hearts of fallen Rangers. You wants to understand how the dark side twists intent so you may resist it — or help others do the same.

Quote: "Justice is the blade we wield, but mercy guides its aim."

You should consider adding melee parry: shield gauntlet and the Force power shield gauntlet defense.

I’d really like to see a more detailed write-up for the Shield Gauntlet.
