Name: Luke Skywalker
Canon: Star Wars
Age: 23
Appearance: Full body shot and close up.
Canon Point: Immediately after Vader’s death.
Background: Star Wars in general, and Luke in specific.
Personality: Luke is the very definition of a heroic character, with all the good and bad that entails. He maintains a farm boy innocence to him even at his canon point, despite the maturity he has begun to build. He truly has a good heart, and wouldn't knowingly do anything wrong if he could avoid it. His innocence shows most in his face; he has a smile that can light up a room in even the darkest of moments, but there is also a bit of naivety to his actions and opinions. Oftentimes he comes up with plans that would usually go badly, purely because he believes in his heart that he can make it work. Sometimes it does, though only because Luke has the Force as back up. Other times he's lucky to come out of it with his life, chief example among this being literally any time he's confronted Darth Vader. On that note, he also never gives up on believing the best in people, including his father, believing him redeemable until the very end.
Skywalker stubbornness is legendary in the galaxy, and Luke is no exception. When he gets a thought in his head, he pursues it to the very end, no matter how many times he has to change plans along the way. He is very much a person ruled by impulsiveness and recklessness, and has been known to go off on his own with little consideration for his own safety. His training with Yoda did a little to tame this, though perhaps the biggest lesson in learning this behavior was not okay came from losing his hand while fighting Darth Vader. He still has moments where he has knee jerk reactions and jumping in without seeing the whole picture (especially without the Force to back him up), but these moments will likely be infrequent.
Since he was a child, he had a strong sense of morality, and wouldn't put up with people that tried to go against that, going so far as to stand up against thugs that were taking water from poor farmers during a drought when he was eight years old. This continues well into adulthood, and he's notably been unable to ignore people in need, to the point of endangering the success of a mission. Despite this moral high ground, he doesn't seem to have an arrogant, pushy side about it -- what little arrogance he has comes from his own abilities as a pilot, and even then, the most that extends to is bragging about being able to take potshots at 2-meter long rodents in a moving vehicle. Despite his adventure lust and all he has accomplished so far, Luke is surprisingly humble, and almost a little confidence shy, especially when it comes to his Force training, which led to him parting ways with the Alliance more than once.
Luke is very much a young man ruled by his emotions, and while he's learned control, this can sometimes be detrimental. He's managed to control his fear, something that even Vader makes note of, but his anger is a weakness of his. Much like his father, he's quick to respond with anger when someone wrongs him or his friends, which often is the source of a lot of his poor life choices. It's often out of anger that he allows Vader to bait him into confrontations -- or even go after him himself, as was the case on Cymoon 1 despite all the warnings he had to run away. It's also led him to speaking his mind a little too quickly, sometimes spouting off an opinion that may have best been left unsaid. On the positive side, he's also a very loving individual, as evidenced by his care and affection for his friends. He has nothing but the utmost faith in them and would do anything for them, and even when they get on his nerves (as Han does on occasion), he's quick to forgive them. He can also be easily excitable, especially when it comes to talking about working on machinery or piloting, and he is more than happy to babble endlessly about his endeavors in both areas.
In the end, Luke is the very definition of a heroic character. He starts out with the belief that a hero is an adventure seeker, always out to do good in the galaxy, without really thinking about the cost of it. Now, however, he has come to understand the responsibility that role requires, and is finding the humble state of mind to continue following the path he chose.
Weaknesses/Temptations: Luke’s biggest, glaring weakness is the people he calls friends and family. He believes in the people he’s close to, and has faith in them and their ability to pull through anything. Threatening or actually harming them is a quick way to stab his rage button, as shown in canon when Vader threatens to turn Leia to the dark side.
His adventure lust has led him into trouble more often than not. While his desire to run off and seek adventures has toned down by this point, running off toward a situation in which he could help someone or do some kind of good is still hard for him to resist.
Much like his father before him, the need for power in order to protect others is a massive temptation for him. This, coupled with the Force and the corrupting effects of the Dark Side, could have devastating consequences on both Luke himself and others around him. This could lead to him becoming potentially more destructive, and possibly even using that power against the people he wanted to protect.
Sins:
Powers/Abilities: It's important to note that even after confronting the Emperor, Luke's potential for the Force is near limitless for either side -- Dark (the "bad" side) or Light (the "good" side). He's demonstrated his ability to learn even complicated powers by just piecing together the brief guidance he received from Obi-Wan during the first movie, and has even used powers that are inherently Dark Side based with no visible detriment. While it's his intention to follow the Light Side, he is not perfect, and a setting like this, with outside forces taking advantage of his weaknesses, could still tempt him down the Dark Path.
Force Strong
The Force in Star Wars is an ever present energy that binds all life (and even some non-life) in the Galaxy together. Those that are sensitive to it are capable of amazing, almost superhuman feats that most other organics cannot hope to match. Luke's connection to it in particular is very strong, and much like his father, he is practically a flaming beacon of power to other Force sensitives.
Some of Luke's abilities in the Force can be broken down as follows:
Telekinesis: Luke has demonstrated a rudimentary understanding of being able to lift and move objects using the Force. He was able to call his lightsaber to his hand in a moment of need without being expressly taught how to do so, and after some training, was able to lift and move heavier rocks and even R2-D2. However, he comes to a bit of a stumbling point when it comes to larger objects, as he is still stuck on the fact that something larger and heavier than himself would be impossible to move on his own. He has been working on divorcing himself of this belief after witnessing tiny Yoda lift his X-wing starfighter out of a swamp, though he isn't on that level yet.
Telepathy: Telepathy in the Force has a broad range, from being able to influence minds, to reaching out and communicating with others over a distance, to sensing the presence of others. While eventually he will be able to sway the weak minded, Luke only has a 50/50 chance of being successful; he understands the basic concept, though he hasn't quite managed it just yet (though that may change as canon is being updated on a regular schedule). Communication, however, is something he has managed, instinctively being able to reach out to Leia so she could come save him when he was in trouble. This only really works with people he's close to at the moment. Luke's senses, however, are very strong; he can pick up on presences he knows very easily, and is able to piece together where individuals are. He can even sense the energy powering droids, though not the droids themselves, given they are not alive in the same sense as an organic being. It was largely due to this sense that he was able to destroy the Death Star in the first place. This ability to sense can also work in reverse, allowing him to dampen his own presence in the Force, though he hasn't come close to mastering this yet.
Precognition: Precognition falls under two categories: anticipation of actions and visions of the future. Even at his point, Luke has demonstrated a remarkable ability to anticipate and react to outside influences, whether it's to intercept a blaster bolt or to help prevent someone else from being injured by debris. This ability is the one he's had the most practice in, as it's one of the first things Obi-Wan taught him. Future visions, however, is a bit of a double edged sword for Luke, much like they were for his father. While being able to see the future has helped, particularly bad visions tend to linger, plaguing his nightmares until he does something about them.
Body Conditioning: Yoda didn't exactly have Luke running around in a swamp because he wanted a free ride. By training his body, Luke was able to learn to reach though the Force to help aid himself, improving on his own physical limitations that he otherwise would not have been able to improve on naturally. This is what enables him to perform jumps and feats of endurance that a normal human would be unable to otherwise.
