"It should be a rule that young Jedi dabble in the Dark Side. Instead of the wise Masters warning us and telling us all about how evil and horrible it is, let us see that for ourselves. The Force can lead to some dark places, we all know that. But we will never learn to get through it without testing our wills, and seeing if we have what it takes to make it."

Biography: Ben was raised on Tattooine as a moisture farmer, until picked up by Jet Sumner and taken to be raised as a Jedi. Ben was always a curious Padawan, often luring his brother Tiverian into trouble to see what would happen. Once, he snuck aboard a Jet Sumner's shuttle to go to a distant planet.
Ben is much more open-minded than his brother, always willing to try anything once. He is sometimes impulsive, a bit pushy at times, and can be manipulative if necessary.
He enjoys sparring and dueling, and likes to debate with others. He does not enjoy meditating too much, because he feels it is a waste of time, when he could be out exploring.
Ben is a capable fighter, using the Shii-Cho form of lightsaber combat. Efficient, quick, and with lots of improvisation.
"Just because we are considered 'Jedi' doesn't mean we cannot test the limits of The Force. We were given our powers to use them, not to sit around and talk about them. It is our job to act, our duty. We cannot spend all our time worrying about if an action will lead to the Dark Side. By not making decisions when they arise, we let the Dark Side win."
More recently, Ben has returned to the Jedi Order, taking a very active role. He has refrained from being an outspoken critic of the Jedi, and dropped the rogueish acts that characterized his formative years. Since achieving Knighthood, Ben has become one of the Jedi Order`s most promising pupils. With a long career ahead of him, the expectations for greatness will mature as he does.
