Darth Caedus Key Additions

[LordTracer]

As of right now, Darth Caedus only has one key, which goes over his stats as a Sith Lord. However, Caedus’ power grew throughout the course of his story, so I think he should have keys for when he was a Jedi as well.

Here is my revised Caedus profile, which adds two new keys, as well as a new image, quote, revised justifications and references.

 

[Confluctor]

Agreed with the changes.

"Despite not being fully healed from his fight with Mara Jade, Caedus was able to fight evenly with Luke - who was in a state of battle-rage - and wound him multiple times"

Jacen draws power from injuries, "despite" makes it sound like a disadvantage

But Jacen thrived on pain, fed on it to make himself stronger and faster. He simply completed his pivot and landed a rib-crunching roundhouse.

Luke stumbled back, his chest filled with fire. Jacen had caught him on the barely healed scar from his first fight with Lumiya, and now his breath was coming in short painful gasps.

Good, Luke thought. This was supposed to hurt.

Luke being enraged is a hindrance, it makes him weaker, less focused which makes his control over the Force wane

Yoda had told Luke that electrical shocks, applied at different intensities and at irregular but frequent intervals, would prevent a Jedi from concentrating, from channeling the Force. They could render a Jedi helpless. But Yoda had never told Luke that emotional shocks could do the same thing.

They could. And just as no amount of self-control would allow a Jedi to ignore the effects of electrical shocks on his body, neither could self-control keep Luke safely out of his memories. Every few moments a memory, freshly applied like a current-bearing wire on his skin, would yank him out of the here and now and propel him into the recent past.

Boarding the Anakin Solo. Finding Jacen torturing—torturing—Luke’s only child, his son Ben. The duel that followed, Luke against the nephew he’d once loved…

battle-raged should be replaced with mentally unstable or as SI words it "As a Sith Lord, Caedus grows more powerful daily, even putting up a brutal fight against an enraged, albeit mentally unstable, sixty year old Luke Skywalker and also holding his own against his twin sister Jaina Solo while she is empowered by Luke"

in the same novel, Luke does this to Caedus

"Don't play stupid, "Luke snapped. "This isn't about the academy. It's about Ben."

"Ben?" Caedus stopped at the corner of his desk, feigning shock. "Did something happen to him?"

"You tell me, "Luke said. "You're the one who sent him."

"Sent him where! I've hardly spoken to Ben since the funeral."

In the next instant, Caedus found himself flying across the cabin toward his observation bubble. Luke had not gestured, had not flinched, had not even shifted his gaze; he had simply grabbed Caedus in the Force and hurled him five meters into his chair.

"Don't lie." Luke started across the cabin. "I'm getting tired of it."

Caedus sprang out of the chair... or attempted to. Instead, he found himself struggling against an invisible weight. He felt as if he were accelerating to lightspeed with a faulty inertial compensator.

"Luke, you've gone mad." Caedus reached for the controls on the arm of his chair and discovered he couldn't even do that much. "You can't do this. I know you're having trouble dealing with Mara's death, but..."

and this to Caedus' chair

Krova acknowledged the order, and a moment later Caedus felt the Jedi moving away from the Anakin Solo. Realizing it would soon be time for him to coordinate their attack with Admiral Bwua'tu, Caedus grabbed his meditation chair in the Force and discovered that he could not turn it back toward the battle. No matter how hard he exerted himself, it would not budge.

Krova reported that the Hapans had sealed the Confederation's escape route and were now fully engaged.

Caedus gave up on the chair-he couldn't see anything useful through the bubble anyway-and dropped into the seat facing away from the battle. Instead of leaving his legs stretched out in front of him as they had been before, he drew his knees up to his chest and felt no less foolish.

battle-raged should be replaced with mentally unstable

Why would that need to be replaced when it’s explicitly described as being a state of battle-rage?

Nothing else could have shocked Luke out of his battle rage-only the sight of Ben slipping so far to the dark side. (Legacy of the Force: Inferno)

As a Sith Lord, Caedus grows more powerful daily

Can you provide a source for this?

Anyways, I’ve edited his final key’s Attack Potency to this:

Should be stronger than he was as a Jedi. Caedus was able to engage in a brutal fight against Luke Skywalker - albeit while he was somewhat hindered due to being in a state of battle-rage - and wounded him multiple times[5]. Luke described Caedus as extremely dangerous, and he is later stated to be a match for Luke in combat[6]. Would later go on to hold his own against Jaina Solo while her power was greatly increased by Luke[7]

It's the wording that makes it sound bad bc people would assume that being enraged amps Luke

Can you provide a source for this?

There might be more but I know these 3

Luke realized Jacen's Force skills seemed to be getting stronger and more subtle every day, and he felt uneasy.

And, as history repeated itself because it had no other Choice, Jacen was more powerful than any of them except Luke. And he was growing closer to Luke's strength by the day.

Alright, I added those three to his justifications.

 

[Vahellis]

Profile looks good, I agree with the revision

Seems good.

 

[LordTracer]

Thanks for the input.

Could this be applied now, or is more input necessary?

 

[ByAsura]

Sure, I don't think much input is needed.

Alright, the edits have been made. This thread can be closed now.
