Physical Description:
Dark, mostly straight chestnut hair falls about the shoulders and below on this young woman, there being a few waves near the ends. Its long fringe sweeps about her forehead just avoiding her eyes, which glint with a keen intelligence, a cunning, a wry wit that causes most to be cautious of her. Her full lips seem to be kept in a neutral, calculating line, though she is unable to hide a slight smirk or a smile. Her skin, in hue, is slightly tanned; this lets another know that she is a well-travelled spacefarer. In build, she seems to be delicate, standing at a 5'7 - but despite her slim, lithe build, its very stance seems to defy all who attempt to oppose her. Her accent is something akin to one who has grown up in the Imperium - yet unique of that, quiet and rustling. Overall, she is not an unpleasant sight for those who behold her. ~~ Professional History:
For as long as she could remember, Sylver was a smuggler under her mentor, a Corellian by the name of Jol Sebryn. Sebryn was renowned for being able to pick out promising candidates for smuggling among street urchins, and on the chaotic streets of Nar Shadda, he was fortunate enough to pick out the scrawny, amber-eyed Jade from amongst her determined little group. She picked up eagerly and instantly, and found that smuggling was an art to her rather than anything else, and forever was she contriving interesting and swifter ways of getting her goods from point A to B. She had many successful smuggling runs; one in particular was in carrying goods into Tatooine and underneath the Imperial eye from Kessel in record time as well as with great success. She was eighteen when a disguised Jedi Knight by the name of Soran O'tar singled her out, recognizing in her a student with much potential. After much persuasion through credits, he took her off Sebryn's hands and whisked her away for furtive training over Rebellion lines – and not even they knew of it and assumed she was just another recruit.
Sylver was a difficult student, indeed; she tended to form her own methods for training, finding the traditional methods far too monotonous and tedious for her liking. It was bad enough that she was a 'goody-goody' for the Rebellion, but she had to train to be a Jedi as well – if in secret. As a member of the Alliance, she was assigned to shipping goods back and forth whilst at the same time, avoiding Imperial patrols – and on occasion, she'd end up in a firefight on the ground whilst trying to retrieve supplies. And again, underneath all of this, she was to undertake energy-consuming training under O'tar's eye. She endured this for four years before she decided enough was enough and put her foot down – and those same feet carried her back to her ship before she swept off without looking back. The Cerulean Star, as her ship was named, carried her back into the loop of the life she had previously known. Despite Sebryn requesting that she would work under his name again, she declined the proposal and worked as a smuggler-for-hire instead –
With a difference.
With the Force as her ally and a lightsaber in hand, her cunning and wit allowed her to accomplish far more than she had done before. Though she was still learning the ways of the Force as she viewed it, she was still a formidable opponent to those who stood in her way. It did not, of course, mean that she was invincible.
Though still possessing friends among the Rebel lines, and despite keeping in touch with them, she still remains stubborn upon the subject of returning.

Background:
Her father was a Corellian smuggler, and there it can be seen it's where that streak in her was born. Her mother was the last of a long line of Jedi, but she was caught and struck down by the agents of the Emperor – just as her father was later. Their names are lost to time, as Jade never knew her parents; all she was left with now was a name. Her father had brought her back to Nar Shadda in an attempt to protect her, only to find that he faced agents there as well and entrusted his daughter to a friend of his, only known by the name of Carlos. But then again, he was as much a friend as an enemy and finding the girl a burden, let her loose on the streets and 'accidentally' lost track of her. Sylver was three years old at that point, but to her fortune, she stumbled across a group of urchins who believed the more, the better – and took her under their wing. Her life began to develop into that of a thief and a rogue, and without knowing it, the Force was already her guide in doing so. Though scrawny, she was still relatively athletic and quick on her toes, and seemed to disappear when her victims would realize that they'd been pickpocketed.
Again, she was picked up by Jol Sebryn, who trained her as a smuggler from the age of eight; ten years brought her to the point that she was a fine young woman as well as a resolute smuggler, dangerous in her own way in every aspect. Her ship, the Cerulean Star, wasn't originally hers; she did, however, help in its creation and was given permission to use it for her smuggling assignments. She was finally granted ownership of it upon her successful run from Kessel to Tatooine, to her delight. A year later, she was once again chosen by the Jedi known as Soran O'tar for a secretive Jedi apprenticeship and with some reluctance, left her life behind.
Life was far different under the Rebellion; there was a reason that she had avoided tasks that it paid for in the first place. Not only was Soran a demanding tutor, but in order to hide away her Jedi training, she was made to serve under the Rebel Alliance as well as a pilot – which was not her idea of fun since she'd lost her freedom. She was made to abide by rules, which only frustrated her rather than discipline her, but never, surprisingly, did she give in to her anger; she remained calm, but internally struggled with herself in a need to break away. She did find friends among the Rebels, but she found she didn't fit in for the most part which kept urging her to leave. She finally did when she was twenty-two and, without batting an eyelid, turned her back and left without completing her training.

Personality:
Having seen all sides of the Galaxy as well as behind Rebellion lines, Sylver has a fair understanding of people. Well, for the most part. She is calculating and thoughtful but doesn't necessarily show it, her poker face a mask for the thinking storm inside her mind. She is a brilliant tactician when it comes to smuggling and gun battles, but when it comes to dealing with people as persistent as those in the Rebellion, she's at a loss as to what to do. She can negotiate with people, and is often out there for herself but she will – eventually – give a friend a hand. She won't admit that she's doing it for their own good and because of her concern, rather that – and, she'll say this with some amusement – they were incapable at whatever they were doing. Never will she say anything out of spite, no; Jade seems to see the humorous side of the Universe and she's just another victim of whatever higher power is laughing. She'll lend an ear to those who need her, of course; she won't, again, readily admit that she's being caring. If she does shed a tear, she'll do it when others have their backs turned.
She'll tend to avoid the Rebellion or the Imperials whenever she can; when offered an assignment, she'll probably ask, "wait, what side are you on?"

Vehicle Of Choice:
Custom-built, the starship Cerulean Star has been Sylver's vehicle of choice since it was built. A beautifully crafted ship, it is capable of holding four, maybe five people at most, and it does contain bunks and a small medical chamber. It is mostly built for smuggling goods, which is why it carries so few people; the hidden compartments take up a fair part of the ship, and then the engines, hyperdrive system and weaponry system took up the rest alongside the standard ship parts. It is armed with two laser cannons and an ion cannon, in effect making it something akin to a semi-fighter built for smuggling. It is a sleek craft, looking something akin to a heavily modified GAT-12h Skipray Blastboat yet slimmer and more elegant. ~~ Base Of Operations:
Sylver doesn't really have a specific base of operations; she jets to and fro according to her assignments. ~~ Weapons:
A customized Blastech pistol; attached to it is a scope and it also has a wide range of settings, from stun to disintegrate. Also, Jas possesses a lightsaber with a blue-green blade.
~~
Form Of Dress:
She seems to be a smuggler, upon first glance; her attire tends to give this away. A long, lightweight, grey-brown trenchcoat accompanies her dark grey, long-sleeved shirt and dark tan-coloured trousers. An ebony belt with a silver buckle rounds her waist, and from this hangs a pistol holster as well as various pouches for her own use. Her boots are the same in hue of her belt - black. Around her neck is a curious necklace, held by a black cord with a tiny twisted blue -speckled jade-coloured crystal dagger with tendrils of silver wrapped around it, holding it to the cord. The crystal glints in good light, but it also glows slightly in the dark; this is probably because of the crystal's natural properties. Despite her face, especially her eyes, being as enchanting as it is, her clothing tells viewers that this young woman is a smuggler inside and out.

Augmentations to Body: N/A. The traditional Sylver response to this would be, "I'd rather be digested by a Sarlaac."
~~
Abilities:
Pilot skills: Sylver is able to successfully manipulate most standard ships, and knows the Cerulean Star like no other. Time and time again she had gotten past enemy lines in order to get her cargo where it needs to go.
Combat skills: Jade's blaster is like an extension of her arm. She knows when to get involved in a firefight, and she knows how to get out of one; it doesn't necessarily mean that she gets out unscathed, but she gets around.
Jedi skills: Having only trained for four years and successfully aggravating her former mentor, Sylver is able to use the Force relatively well for one of her level. She is able to sense friend and foe alike through the Force, detect danger and use it well to guide her in what she is doing. She can levitate fairly heavy objects, though nothing as large as a ship or a speeder. She is skilful with her lightsaber, and being of an athletic build already, is competent of faring well in combat. What skills she has in the Force are directed towards what skills she already possesses or illusionist and materialistic causes, or for combat. She is incapable of using the Force to harm or heal herself, finding that she prefers a bacta canister.
