"We're gonna win 'cause we're the Rebel Alliance!"

- Charlie Skyrunner (a.k.a. Jedi Seven), during the Battle of Endor

Charlie Skyrunner (a.k.a. JediSeven) was a Jedi Knight, Rebel Pilot, and Rebel General. The son of a Galactic Republic General and Padme Amidala's younger sister, he is the cousin of Luke Skywalker. He is also the younger brother of Jen Skyrunner, who became a Rebel along with him.

Early Life of my character
He was born in 19 BBY, during Order 66 and the fall of the Galactic Republic. His mother and sister fled Tatooine during Order 66 and took safe haven on Bespin (His father, Jacen Skyrunner, was defending the Jedi Temple on Coruscant.) Charlie was born on Cloud City and, after a few years, the family reunited on Tatooine (Jacen was taken prisoner by the 501st but escaped).

Teenage Years of my character
Charlie grew up on Tatooine, with his cousin Luke. He, like Luke, dreamed of entering the Imperial Academy. But, unlike Luke, he actually attended it and served in it as an Imperial pilot and officer for a couple of years before defecting to the Rebel Alliance.

Years at the Academy
Charlie entered the Imperial Academy in 2 BBY. He began as a cadet, then a pilot, then finally to an Imperial officer. He began his career in the Empire when he enlisted in the local Imperial Barracks in Mos Eisley. He was very excited to be in the Empire. He eventually attended the Academy in 1 BBY. He fought in a few battles, including the First Battle of Tatooine.

Galactic Civil War
Charlie joined the rebellion in 0 ABY, shortly after the First Battle of Tatooine. He defected from the Empire, which gave him an instant death sentence by the Empire. He met his cousin Luke for the first time since Charlie left for the Academy. Luke, very excited and happy, encouraged Charlie to fight along with him in the Battle of Yavin, but Charlie decided not to, realizing that the whole Empire was probably out for him. However, five months later, he fought bravely in the Fifth Battle of Yavin IV. He managed to escape at the last minute with a downed Y-Wing. However, in 3 ABY, Charlie fought in the Battle of Hoth. He flew a snowspeeder, but, after getting shot down by an AT-AT, he fought in the ground battle, and escaped along with a few other Rebel troops.

Raid on Imperial City and Duel with Vader
During the Galactic Civil War, around 3 ABY, Charlie traveled to Coruscant on a mission that would prove his Jedi abilities. He raided the Imperial Palace and began ambushing stormtroopers and Royal Guards. He eventually confronted Darth Vader and the two fought a fierce duel. Charlie fought valiantly, until Vader, very tired, retreated and dispatched Royal Guards to take care of Charlie. Charlie fought them off and mangaged to escape, flying away with his X-Wing.

Charlie's astromech droid
Charlie's trusty astromech droid is R2-D1, the older brother of R2-D2. The droid joined Charlie on his many adventures, including the Battle of Endor and Battle of Bespin.

Charlie's lightsaber
Charlie's built his original lightsaber in 2 ABY, after his brief Jedi training with Yoda. He lost the lightsaber after he dropped it during the Battle of Hoth (He didn't realize that he lost it until he was off the planet!) He constructed his second one in 3 ABY, which was the same one that he fought Darth Vader with. The lightsaber bears a striking resemblance to Anakin Skywalker's lightsaber and Luke's early one.

Charlie's other weapons
Charlie also keeps his trusty DL-44 Heavy Blaster Pistol with him, along with his lightsaber. Unlike his cousin Luke, he uses the blaster pistol often (maybe even more than he uses his lightsaber!). He also owns a DH-17 blaster pistol, which was his first weapon in the Rebellion. He managed to keep a E-11 blaster that he stole from a dead snowtrooper during the Battle of Hoth and still uses it occasionally to this day.
