SOL?
Ush, here's Tanic's biography - if I change any of it, the basic story won't change - just maybe I'll slip bits in.
Couple of comments, Trick0- first, Tanic will have to have been younger when he started training; in fact of the standard templates, only the Acolyte can have been older than 2 (and 2 would be considered very late). If you were a Jedi, you did it the formal way.
Seconldy it cannot be the Force that the pupper master used; it doesn't affect people that way. Not even Sidious can do that. Must be some freaky ability of his.

Um, okay. I changed it slightly. First two paragraphs now read...
Born on Coruscant in the upper levels, Tanic was drafted at age 2 into the Jedi academy. Finally accepted as Jedi-Knight material at age 8, Tanic’s only condition on leaving Coruscant was that his mother, who had contracted a life-threatening disease, was brought up and treated. Age 9, Tanic underwent his first off-world experience in controlling the force. For the next 4 years Tanic stayed in the Jedi academy, learning the lessons of the force. Dedicated to his mother, who was now dying, he arranged with his masters to take a month from his studies. Organising a space cruise for her, they spent her last few weeks together.
When he returned notes from his masters marked Tanic as changed, less predictable than he had been, beginning to throw himself into the psychological and trickery side of the force. Often he was found using his powers as an amusement for the other apprentices. A year after his mother’s death, aged 14, the council judged Tanic as an acceptable padawan, beginning his service as padawan to his old companion, Kay Crystal. By all accounts, the relationship between master and padawan with the pair was more one of friends, as Tanic was much like Kay, ironic and good-humoured.
Rex, could you change it for me?
