deadpool knows me well. My two lightsaber forms I use in builds the most are Ataru and Juyo. Together they are insane form powers wise. Ataru/Soresu are very good balance of offence/defense, and they would both be in a Obi-Wan build I would make.

FTJ, your Qui-Gon is brilliant. You took his mystic side and ran with it.

WestAG, that Sith build looks fun to play. Might steal it as a NPC in a future game  :D

Alliania Geth, Darth Rezele

Daughter of Darth Invasiv, she inherited most of his Arkanian Traits, but she possessed her mother's grace. Her parents were careful to guard her force sensitivity from prying eyes and taught her to control her presence. By the age of 5 she was skilled enough to not be detected even by her own Father and Mother. During her childhood she received training with a lightsaber and what her parents keep force powers were the mind trick and memory walking. Being the daughter of a wealthy family she had access to more than what her father and mother had access to when they began their careers and study into the sith.  She was schooled in every way possible leaving her with a well rounded education. Her grace with a blade was unparalleled. By the time she was 25 she had completed her education and was ready to take on the family business in both respects. Her parents explained her heritage and now felt the time was right for her to train as a sith. Her Father Darth Invasiv passed title of Dark Lord of the Sith to his wife and so it was up to her train her, while he continue to run the legitimate enterprises giving any artifact that maybe of use to his wife and daughter.

In a pivotal moment of Alliania's training her mother asked her to perform a task of assassinating a jedi knight. Setting up the stage for this conflict her master called for a meeting with a friend when she was a Jedi Knight, on the world of Rothana. Using the guise of a legitimate business venture Alliania and her mother went to meet him. By this time her mother's friend have achieved the rank of Master and a member of the council for reconciliation. Everything was set and after a few days of studying her target Alliania was ready. On a expedition to climb one of the many frozen ridges on the planet the Jedi was tricked. Alone and isolated from the rest of the planet Alliania's Mother made sure that no one interrupted her daughter's trial. It was an intense battle, but she found a way to get past his defense utilizing a technique her mother taught her, Trakata, and slew the Jedi Master. It was an impressive feat and it assured that Alliania was destined to be a great Sith Lord she took the fallen jedi's lightsaber as trophy. Her mother and master then sired her Darth Rezele.

In the aftermath, they explained to the authorities and to the jedi investigating is that he fell in avalanche during their expedition and were not able to recover the body. Everyone seemed to buy it for now. From there Alliania continued her studies of the sith and training delving into sith alchemy. She fashioned a suit of armor made from it and through the dark side of the force she became bathed, it was enough to given her a change from a fair woman into eerily beautiful tainted with the dark side. Two years after the "incident" on Rothana her mother was attacked by the padawan of the master she had killed. The attack left her mother comatose. Filled with rage and anger she tracked down the padawan to Manaan, she confronted her master's attacker and sensed the dark side within him. The duel was protracted by Rezele through the use of Dun Moch making the jedi go further and further into the dark abyss. Finally she disarmed the jedi when he struck he against her armor shorting out his lightsaber. The jedi pleaded to spare him, Rezele took the Jedi she had no intention of killing him yet. For days on end she tortured the jedi making him revisit the memory of his former master through her use of the memory walking and more conventional means of torture. When he fully gave into the dark side he asked if he could be her apprentice... Rezele replied saying he could have been only there was one problem, you hurt my mother, and then decapitated the Jedi.  After explaining what happened to her Father on what she did with Jedi he was pleased.

She now works to continue the legacy of the sith and searching for an apprentice while also trying to find a way to get her mother out of a coma.

#############The following Build is for Show purposes only and may not be voted on#############



This Obi-Wan build is focused on his completely focused Soresu mastery, mixed in with Ataru for extra firepower. His talents and force powers are mainly with defense in mind, making him quite hard to kill. these also are the tools the allow him to engage, and ultimately defeat Anakin in his Dark side rage by outlasting. While built defensively, he is no weakling in a fight and more then able to defeat people in total offense as well. Melee Defense and Power Attack represent his ability to turn his focus from offense to defense (and visa-versa) quickly.

Has some "for fun" additions as well: High Ground Defense from the end of the Mustafar duel "Don't do it Anakin, I've got the high ground..." and Severing Strike because well he is known for cutting off limbs and body parts (Quick Draw ties into that as well)

Obi-Wan Kenobi (Episode III)                                                                                             CL 16

My vote goes to Ralrwarr. While I feel that none of the defensive-themed characters match my own, what I set out to do with Piedra for Resilience Form, this wookiee undoubtedly does for Ferocity Form. He is an unbridled offensive, he is slaughter, he is death with a lightsaber, he is passion, strength, and power. But is he victory? That depends on how many other people vote for him.

I'm torn between several choices, but I'll go for Varian by sienn_sconn. Simplicity and creativity in one package. And digging deep into the obscure team feats. Well done. :)
