NOTE: To read these things, you must already know Star Wars! I will not be explaining anything already in the universe. I will explain my ideas which I will make sure to say if the idea is mine or not. Please tell me what you think.
Please NO STEALING MY IDEAS!
As said in the last chapter, I will explain just who the Protectors are. Writer's note: they are my design from my own head, feel free to ask away about them.
In the past, they were among the many Force user out there. Some of the Force Users became the Jedi. The Protectors grouped together and for years, Protector and Jedi worked together. Many times, each would send their students to learn from the other for a time, soon, it became a tradition.
Protectors were often destined to bond with other beings through what was called a Force Bond. In this the two would be bonded mentally to the point where it seemed their very souls were one being. The ones they bonded with were often the Jedi. At around the age of twenty, Protector and Jedi (or other) would be bonded through the Force. This was a voluntary act on both sides and while mostly done at twenty, was done when the two bonded were ready.
Alas, the peace would not last. When the Sith left the Jedi Order, the Protectors that bonded with said "sith" went with them. This was devastating to the Protectors as they don't see the Force as "Light" or "Dark" rather, it is seen as one thing. "It's not the power you have, but rather how you use it." - Ancient Protector The Protectors separated themselves from the Jedi and Sith. A Force Shadow was a Force user that is the version of the Sith, only more ruthless and dangerous. They are called Force Shadows because they don't show a loyalty to the Force, only see it as an object for control. Therefore it seems as if the Force Rejects them and they become a "shadow" of what they were.
The Protectors teach that you can use emotions to use the Force, Just be VERY careful. The ones learning are called "Students" and like the Jedi, they are chosen by a Master Protector to learn under their wing. The Masters don't encourage the student to call them "master" but rather are more personal with their students. This enables them to take on more than one at a time. Jade had six Students, for example. Students under a Master's wing are called "Apprentices."
The Protectors were nearly wiped out when a traider handed them to some "Force Shadows." Many of the Protectors were killed. Jade was one of the very few that escaped. As far as she knows, she is the last of the Protectors.
Nearly forgot: They have an ability to combine lightsaber crystals and make either a new color or a combination of different colors. An example is Jade's Lightsaber which has a purple crystal and a black crystal in it. Like Jade, some Protectors will carry and use another Lightsaber that is a standard color such as blue, green , or such. This is so they don't always scare people.
A Lightsaber has its own personality and is very loyal to the one who made it and will be loyal to the wielder, if they earned its trust. The Lightsaber will "talk" through hums, vibrations, snaps, crackles, and such. Lightsabers will even talk to each other.
