Difference between revisions of "Jake Daniels"

The planet of Dantella IV, a modest, more middle class planet thrived for centuries, living off its own natural resources and the planets natural skill of working out trades and deals with nearby systems. No one with the exception of the politicians were grossly wealthy and most people survived with a modest income. Among the populace were a young married couple, Jacob and Maria Daniels. Both were well known pharmaceutical scientists who owned their own private company as well as a chain of pharmacies within Ple City. When the pair received financial independence that began to try for children. They were immediately blessed with Jake. The pregnancy was routine and very text book. At each stage Maria was where she needed to be. Jake grew healthy within her womb and as a result Maria remained healthy herself. When the birth came Maria retired from the stores to remain a stay at home mother. They offered Jake the best of what they could get. Within their home they spared no extra expense and used it to ensure the safety and continued growth of their young infant. As Daniels grew through his first year, he astonished his parents at how quickly he could walk and talk. He showed an inquisitive nature and even seemed to understand what his parents would say to him at a faster rate than most children his age. The young Jake had become the child of any parents dreams.

At Jakes second birthday, his parents had gone out to finish preparations, leaving Jake with an elderly care giver. Stefan', the Daniels neighbors had often looked over the young toddler, especially now that his mother was pregnant with their second child, a daughter they planned to name Fall. It was not until Stefan' began to act differently and night fell that Jake began to realize something was not right. The boy cried, screamed, yelled and threw things in angry fits through the night, screaming for his parents. All Stefan' could do was try and keep Jake calm. The next day Stefan' took Jake back to his home, however his parents were not there. As they entered the home, the older man knelt down to Jake and let him know that his Mommy and Daddy would no longer be coming home. He gently broke the news as simply as possible that they were involved in an accident and were now in a better place. Jake understood more than Stefan' predicted and all the boy did was hold his now legal guardian. During the rest of his second and well into his third year of life, Jake did not speak. He did not smile. He did not laugh and he hardly played. The loss of his family had taken its toll on the young boy. As the young boy struggled within, Stefan' worked vigorously to preserve the Daniels fortune. Taking the young Daniels to court time and again, he battle the board of the pharmaceutical company as well as the board to the pharmacy chain to ensure they remained the Daniels family sole possession. In what became a planetary spectacle of family rights, the Dantellian Supreme Court agreed with Stefan' and stated that for the lifetime of Jake Daniels, the pharmaceutical company and pharmacy stores would remain his. Until his eighteenth birthday, Stefan' would act as the head to both organizations. Any profits earned from the businesses would be put into two accounts. The first being an account for Stefan' so he had funds to help raise Jake, the other a savings account Jake would receive on that eighteenth birthday.

Jake remained a relatively quiet child though he began to talk once more. Stefan' put him into pre-school before kindergarten. Jakes memory was remarkable. He distinguished colors and learned the alphabet. He understood numbers and could perform basic math skills. When he entered primary school, Jake excelled to the top of his class. Math showed to be his least favorite of subject but science and history were his best. Stefan' hired a private tutor who spent two hours with Jake at the end of each school day, drilling math and science into the young boy. He knew that Jake was just like his parents and if he could keep him focused on Science and Math, he would prove to be a great leader for his companies. When Jake hit puberty, Stefan' instilled the idea of manners and how to act like a gentleman. Using the code that men in the Daniels family had used for generations, the guardian turned Jake from a hormonal teen into a near perfect young man when it came to treating ladies with respect. As Jake passed through junior high school and then high school, he continued to learn about his family history and codes through Stefan'. Being a star on his schools speech and debate team, Daniels had no problem developing friends through his first year. When Stefan' learned of Jakes growing interest in the opposite sex, he ensured he instilled in the young Daniels the code of a gentleman.Jake learned the greatest respect a man could give a woman is to show he has the self-control not to try and get her into bed upon first introductions. By following this code, Daniels would set himself apart from every other human male around the galaxy.

-To be edited and expanded-

Darth Miasma was a Togruta Sith Mistress who was the first person to bring Jake Daniels into the ways of the force. An overall cruel woman, she used force over knowledge to attempt to break the resolve of her Apprentice in an attempt to shape him into a protege' she wanted. She taught Gravis the basics of the force yet withheld the endless amounts of knowledge from him as a means of control. She was the one to bestow the title of Gravis upon Daniels. Little did she realize that the denial of knowledge was something the young Sith Apprentice could not tolerate. Reports emerged that Lady Miasma's ship exploded due to a engine failure with her on board. Most people assume she was killed as Gravis went on to find a new Master to learn under. Most suspicions fall to Gravis as the perpetrator of the explosion though no proof can be found.

Darth Vacuole was a Human Sith Mistress who immediately took Gravis under her wing. Unfortunately for her Gravis felt Vacuole was inadequate for teaching him. Within weeks of their pairing, Gravis poisoned Vacuoles food and disposed of the body.

Darth Hail was a Mirialan Sith Lord who came across Gravis during one of his excursions to Korriban. Though he never officially became Gravis' Master, the Lord gave Gravis what Miasma and Vacuole did not; knowledge. Hail learned one of the easiest triggers to gain Gravis' attention was through teachings of the old Sith ways. Hail was quick to realize that Gravis was an intellectual thinker who desperately did not want to fall into the same rise and fall tradition of other Sith. It is unknown what happened to Darth Hail.

Darth Orient was a Feeorin Sith Lord who became the fourth teacher yet only third official Master of Gravis. He focused his teachings on hand to hand combat, wanting his Apprentice to learn that though he was a capable tactician, his ability to plan was inefficient if Gravis could not follow up with an adequate attack. Orient gave Gravis a better handling on saber combat than did Vacuole though offered the Apprentice little in the ways of the force itself. Orients body was discovered impaled by an unknown object. Suspicion falls to Gravis as the Lords assassin.

Darth Pestilence was Miraluka Sith Mistress whom was the fourth official Master of Gravis. She gave Gravis nothing knew in terms of skills with the force as the Apprentice already had a basic handling of it. Instead she focused on fine tuning what he already held. She was neither cruel nor lenient and used a more just and precise formula for correcting the Apprentices mistakes as well as rewarding him for success. Pestilence gave Gravis deeper understanding of what it meant to be Sith and assured him that the removal of past Masters was the correct means for a Sith, regardless if they were men or women. She was the one one to understand that Jake needed stability and if he ever got stability within his life, the Sith would have nothing holding him back as his focus would be at its peak. It is unknown what happened to Pestilence. Most theories are that Gravis either killed her off or Pestilence simply fled before the Apprentice could end her life in true Sith fashion. Regardless, her removal from his life paved the way for Gravis to become a true Sith.
