Character's Full Name:
Anakin Skywalker
Age:
Approx. 20 at time Clone Wars begins
Gender:
Male
Species:
Human
Home Planet:
Tatooine
Allegiance:
Jedi during Clone Wars
Lightsaber Color:
Anakin's lightsabre is blue
Preferred Rank:
Jedi Knight (though at the beginning of the Clone Wars he was a Padiwan.)
Physical Description:
Anakin in his youth was full of light. His skin shone in the sun of Tatooine, and his golden brown hair blended with the sands. He had water in his eyes, despite his desert appearance, and they would sparkle even in the darkness. When he met Obi-Wan and left his home, his inner light began to fade. As he grew, his physical appearances tended to retain the light of Tatooine, but his maturity brought out a new light that shone from within him.
After his maturity (and in his current state of being) Anakin is tall, taller than his Master. He still has the sandy colored hair, but it is long and shaggy, and trimmed only when occasion calls for it. Anakin's face is long and square, with a slightly dimpled chin and highly placed cheekbones. His eyes, once like water in a parched land, are now cold and icey blue, frosty and impassive like the ways he has learned as a Jedi. Years of hard training as a Jedi has shaped Anakin's body into a work of art, as he is lean yet strong of stature, lithe, and liquid in motion. (As he nears the dark side, his light diminishes, and eventually is extinguished, and he becomes more and more vile and evil in appearance.)
Personality:
Anakin, up until he was freed as a slave, was clear of mind and heart. But doubt and fear clouded his mind being seperated from his mother, and so he took into the back of his mind these thoughts and feelings while he trained. He is good in his actions and deeds, and knows that if he waivers but a little and uses his emotions combined with the Force he will betray the ways of the Jedi. He feels, and that is what is why he cannot be a true Jedi. His love and passion for Padme is one thing that will always cloud his judgement. Anger and hate toward the Tusken Raiders that killed his mother, frusteration in his Master and the Council, as well as a slew of emotions that spur and cause other emotions fill Anakin, and he knows by his training that these are the path to the dark side. His greatest fear is his want of recognition, and later his want of the title Master; this has to do with Palpatine poisoning his thoughts with images of great power.
Aside from matters of the Force, and being a Jedi, and troubles of the mind, Anakin takes pleasure in simple things. He loves racing, and good food, and laughing. He never tires of learning, and always seeks to better himself with his light sabre. While he rarely uses it, he also has mastered the use of a gun, and several other weapons, and enjoys using them when he is able. Anakin is astranged from boys his age, not only because of his late start in training but also because of his abnormal powers, and so has few friends. This makes him aloof, mysterious, and dark, though when he is in good spirits these qualities are chased away by his hearty laughter.
Character History:
Anakin first appears as a kind, selfless nine-year-old boy. He and his mother are slaves in the service of Watto, a curmudgeonly Toydarian junk dealer. A child prodigy, Anakin excels at engineering. Even at this young age, he can build or repair most things, evidenced by the creation of his own protocol droid, C-3PO, and podracer, each from salvaged parts. He is also a remarkable pilot with quick reflexes.
Anakin is found on Tatooine by Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn, who is convinced that he is the Chosen One foretold by the Jedi prophecy to bring balance to the Force. Qui-Gon attributes Anakin's piloting talent to the Force, which he thinks allows Anakin "to see things before they happen." Anakin forms a strong bond with Queen Padmé Amidala, whom Qui-Gon and his padawan apprentice, Obi-Wan Kenobi, are guarding.
After winning Anakin's freedom, Qui-Gon brings the boy to Coruscant and requests that the Jedi Council allow him to train Anakin. This request is denied, as the Council thinks that Anakin's future is clouded by the fear and anger he exhibits because of his days as a slave and his separation from his mother. Ultimately, Anakin helps to win the final battle against the Trade Federation in the Battle of Naboo. A dying Qui-Gon, slain in a fearsome duel with Darth Maul, urges Obi-Wan to train Anakin, and the Council reluctantly approves. Palpatine, the newly-elected Republic's Supreme Chancellor, befriends the boy, promising to "watch his career with great interest".
Anakin progressed quickly as a Jedi under Obi-Wan's tutelage, though fast became an annoyance to the Jedi Council, the foremost being Mace Windu. He entered dangerous sports, and frequently got Obi-Wan into trouble. His first mission was to Zonama Sekot, where the famous living ships were made. He received his own ship, Jabitha, and on the planet he first tapped into the dark side, killing a Blood Carver. After a Trade Federation battle fleet attack on the planet, led by Death Star designer Tarkin and TIE fighter creator Raith Sienar, Anakin's ship died.
A few years later, on a mission to Ilum, Anakin built his first lightsaber. He and Obi-Wan returned to the Republic, and were given a mission to stop the pirate Krayn. Anakin was captured by Krayn's lieutenant Zora, while Obi-Wan escaped. It was later revealed that Zora was a Jedi on an undercover mission, Siri, Obi-Wan's old flame, and former apprentice to Adi Gallia. After a slave revolt on the moon of Nar Shaddaa, Anakin killed Krayn, who he had long been angry with, as he had frightened his mother.
Over the years, Anakin and Obi-Wan fought against Sith cultist Granta Omega and scientist Jenna Zan Arbor. The most tragic mission was to Mawan, where the Jedi master Yaddle was killed protecting the planet's people. Anakin blamed himself for the master's death. Anakin's last mission before the outbreak of the Clone Wars was to Ansion, a small world, that, if it left the Republic, could start a chain reaction of seccesion. Travelling with fellow Jedi Luminara Unduli and Barriss Offee, the four Jedi managed to prevent Ansion's leaving. During the ten years since the Battle of Naboo, Anakin had become a very powerful Jedi learner.
Ten years after gaining his freedom, Anakin is now a young adult and Obi-Wan's apprentice. Because his natural abilities place him far above his peers, he has developed into an arrogant and socially awkward loner during his years of Jedi training. His relationship with his master is complicated; although he says Obi-Wan is like a father to him, he believes his teacher is holding him back and chafes against Kenobi's authority. Frustrated, Anakin turns to another teacher for advice: Palpatine, who feeds the young Padawan's fragile ego with assurances that he will one day be the greatest Jedi in the galaxy.
Anakin is assigned to guard Padmé, who is now a senator of her home planet, Naboo. His childhood fascination with her has now become a powerful infatuation, and the two ultimately fall in love, despite her many reservations that their paths in life - she a senator and he a Jedi - are too different for them to ever live together. In conversation, he reveals his affection for her, as well as his distrust of the political process and the need he perceives for there to be one strong leader.
While guarding Padmé, Anakin senses that his mother is in danger. Upon returning to Tatooine he learns his mother was kidnapped one month earlier by local Tusken Raiders. He finds his mother in a camp of Tusken Raiders, but arrives too late and she dies in his arms. Seized by a blind rage, he slaughters the entire tribe, even the women and children. Yoda and the deceased Qui-Gon feel Anakin's Force presence turn "dark" and fear that this marks the beginning of the end for Obi-Wan's young apprentice. Padmé is clearly troubled by what he has done, but, being in love with him, she is not truly repulsed, and instead tries to soothe him with sympathy.
Anakin and Padmé learn that Obi-Wan has been taken hostage by the Geonosian-engineered droid forces of the Confederacy of Independent Systems, a faction of star systems that want to secede from the Republic. They rush to his rescue — where they are also captured. Faced with their impending demise in a gladiatorial arena, they profess their love to one another. Escaping the fray with the help of a cadre of Jedi and the clone army, Anakin engages Separatist leader and fallen Jedi Count Dooku in a lightsaber battle, but is easily defeated by the older, more experienced warrior, who severs his lower right arm. He is fitted with a cybernetic replacement and then marries Padmé in a secret ceremony, with C-3PO and his counterpart, R2-D2, as witnesses.

RP sample:
As she hummed Zaria could feel eyes watching her from a tree, and yet those eyes were not mischevieous or foul, but playful and free, curious in their own right. She did not heed them yet, as it was not the ripe time to do so, but she knew that ere long she would approach them, and call upon them she must. Her curiousity was wont to spark as well, being in a new city and all, with new creatures and faces that she had never seen before leering out at her as she flew past them in the night.
So her wandering steps lead her, slowly ever toward the tree, her voice unquavering in its melody, and her arms slightly swaying to and fro as she half-danced to the forgotten tune. Heard she the breath of this traveller, and it was heavy and laboured, as if it delighted in the vision it saw. But alas, though she could hear it she could not place upon it the worth of it to the man, if he was a man, and so she was content to dream of what such laboured breath could deem. Soon her feet were trodding lightly on the path, so near to the tree under which the stranger sat that if she, desiring his flesh, turned and leapt for his throat, would kill him in an instant. But too strong was her curiosity for a creature that did not call out to her or flee from fright, as it was the dead of night, and she fair and fierce strode about openly without compainion.
At last, her feet stopped dead, directly beside the creature, and her head moved not this way or that, but stared straight ahead. She could feel eyes upon her, and slowly her head turned, and her hair tumbled over her shoulders, so that her eyes gleamed in the moonlight at the thing under the tree. She knew with her dress as dark as the velvty sky than no one but those graced with keen eyesight could see her in the mirk, and so she knew already much about this thing that sat there. And how much did he know of her, she wondered?
"Hark," she called, drawing her face back straight, so that she looked toward the city. "Why dost thou go about at night, so openly with despairing creatures wandering the roads?"
