Star Wars: Skywalker

Day cycle, Coruscant.

As Anakin is still meditating, going over his progress a knock at the door could be heard disrupting his thought process.

'O well, I guess it is time to get busy again.'

Anakin stops his meditation and approaches the door while thinking at the same time. 'From what I sense the person behind the door is not Qui-Gon and I have become quite familiar with his Force signature.'

Opening the door Anakin sees who has come to see him. "Young Padawan Skywalker. I have come to explain to you your schedule throughout your training." The person who spoke was Mace Windu, Anakin's other new master.

"Master Windu, you have come to be my guide?"

"Yes, that is true. I will introduce to you the areas that matter when you stay here. Usually, a person would have a clan they would join here but due to your special circumstances you would just be joining in classes suitable to both my own and Qui-Gon's time schedule."

Mace starts to walk and Anakin follows from behind. "First I will be showing you the area where communal meals are held. This is where you will be able to have some sustenance."

"I am quite hungry." Anakin says while thinking. 'It is good I dont have to worry about food and can while eating with everyone, try to gain some connections.'

"Yes, you will be seated within a hall with all the other younglings."

They both continue before stopping at an entrance that is the communal eating area. "Right for now I will stop my guiding here, as you should eat before we continue. You will wait here after the time to eat has finished and I will come back."

"Ok, Master. Thank you." Anakin bows slightly.

While Mace leaves Anakin enters the hall where he can see many people, many children sitting in groups but because it is very early in the morning there are not many students.

'Right time to get some food. From what I see there are not that many, what I would consider important people so there is no point in saying here too long.'

"Hey, you." Someone calls out to Anakin, a small female child that looks around his actual age.

'Is this Barriss Offee? The friend of Ahsoka, or at least would be friend. It seems that the age of the current one is of the legends version as in the clone wars she was de-aged to fit in more with the show.'

"Yes hello." Anakin greets the girl.

"You must be new around here, did you perhaps only recently join the order? I did not think that was allowed. Usually only people way younger then you are allowed to join."

"That is right. I am new here, I have only recently become apart of the Order."

"That's cool and a bit weird from the norm, but welcome."

Force studies take place in the morning, students were taught the ways of the Force and its three applications: Control, Sense, and Alter.

Midday studies focused on traditional classroom instruction, where non-Jedi instructors taught an assortment of lessons including political strategy, galactic law, the sciences, and language. The afternoons were dedicated to physical activities, including lightsaber training.

Taught Forms I through Form VI of lightsaber combat by highly qualified instructors, Initiates practiced with training lightsabers until they crafted their own in the caves of Ilum. Five mandatory mediation sessions were mixed into the day, as well as communal meals.

'At least this was the standard schedule given to me.'

Mace Windu had guided him around throughout the day and introduced him to the classes he would be taking, who he would be participating in trainings with and some such nonsense.

Most of what is on the list, or schedule for him was the standard list given to younglings, well more like younglings are guided in this direction slowly getting used to their new style of life.

Anakin has to do the same but it is better this way as there is still some time leftover for him to continue his own plans, so he is not completely at the will of this academic course. He also takes some days off to further advance and be trained by Qui-Gon or Mace.

From what he understands, at least in terms of the first things he has to learn control, sense and alter are the basic applications that a Force-sensitive can do.

"Control is internal. It is the Jedi's ability to recognize the Force in himself and to use it to his benefit." Qui-Gon has said to Anakin.

The Jedi Order's teaching method began with the aspect of Control, taught to Jedi Initiates as a way to open their minds to the Force and establish a base point for further development. The theme of Control was centered on the ability to control one's own body, as self control was the starting point for all Jedi teachings.

Development of these skills would continue throughout a Jedi's life, as the basics of all other disciplines of Force use began here. One of the most well known side-effects of mastering the discipline of Control was prolonged life and the avoidance of decay.

Three main abilities were centered around Control: tutaminis, curato salva, and altus sopor. These three umbrella abilities incorporated many of the abilities Jedi used throughout their service to the Republic.

Tutaminis was an umbrella title used by the Jedi Order to classify Force abilities related to energy absorption.

Anakin had used a version of this to subdue Maul's attacks against Qui-Gon on Naboo and he had also applied it for Maul as well just so he could keep his body intact.

Curato salva was an umbrella skill used by the Jedi Order to classify Force abilities related to self-healing and alot of the time this ability is used passively or subconsciously without a someone being aware that they are healing themselves at a accelerated rate.

Anakin has a version of this in the form of the dark side magick ritual and his own subconscious activation of said technique.

There are not many Jedi who even know of how to use medic based or healing based Force techniques so this is an area Anakin would be most interested in.

The last of the control domain is altus sopor, the traditional term for the ability to increase a user's focus on the Force.

"…Sense involves the next step, in which the Jedi recognizes the Force in the universe outside herself."

Classified as Sense abilities by the Jedi Order, these techniques were taught to Padawans to broaden the scope of their Control abilities. Dipping into a deeper understanding of the Living Force, Sense abilities allowed Force-wielders to immerse themselves in the environment.

By the end of their apprenticeship, Padawans were expected to use the Force as an additional sense, constantly attuned to the undulation of the Force.

The Jedi Order saw the Sense abilities divided into four main groups: prima vitae, tactus otium, tai vordrax / psychometry, and projected telepathy. While there were many other styles to the Sense family, these were considered the most vital to Jedi teachings.

Anakin in particular would be extremely powerful in regards to the Sense skill tree and its abilities being considered as the most important certainly puts Anakin at an advantage.

Life Detection, also known in traditional High Galactic as prima vitae, was a basic Sense-based Force power that allowed a Force-sensitive to feel the presence of living things or beings and detect their positions at long range.

Anakin's senses were primarily tuned and would only grow with the passage of time. He could slightly thank his telepathy for that.

Sense Force, also known as See Force or in traditional High Galactic as tactus otium, was a Sense-based Force power. It allowed an individual to sense the ambient Force in a given area.

It could not be used to detect sentient beings, but allowed an individual to sense the magnitude of Force in an area or object, and even if that Force was aligned with the dark side of the Force, or the light.

This ability Anakin also has as he was able to tell the distinction between the dark side alignment of Force energy on Tatooine and Dathomir. Even here on Coruscant there is the presence of a lingering darkness that the absolute light of the Jedi hide.

They do this unknowingly of course, but even still, if Anakin could sense it wouldn't that mean the Jedi should be able to as well?

Psychometry, also known as postcognition, tai vordrax or telemetry, was a Force power that was a mental technique of picking up impressions and traces of information about the object touched and the events that have surrounded it.

This ability even though sounds quite basic it could come in handy within alot of circumstances, but Anakin did not bother to develop this when he was younger as there was no need. It would of been pointless to do so as there was nothing of particular interest that could be found.

He doesn't even know where to begin when trying to practice such an ability.

The last ability that Anakin has become most familiar with, Telepathy. The very basic ability to read and interact with other minds, mentally communicate and project the user's thoughts over small or vast distances with other individuals.

"Alter is the third and most difficult area to master, for it involves the student's ability to modify the Force and redistribute its energies."

An advanced form of Force-use, many non-trained Force-sensitives stumbled upon this group of powers accidentally, usually resulting in disastrous events. Untamed, these Force powers can cause mass chaos, as the art of manipulating other objects must be perfected and honed.

Within the Jedi Order, these abilities were considered to be Alter abilities and were taught to Jedi Knights who had mastered the art of Control and Sense.

Capable of affecting the environment, these abilities were vital to a successful Knight, as without them, individuals could see the Force, but were incapable of manipulating it.

In the Order of the Jedi, the great Masters considered the techniques of telekinesis, affect mind, and alter environment to make up this family of abilities.

'So, the more cool telekinetic based abilities or the creation of shooting electricity through my fingertips my be off the table for now.' Anakin thought to himself. 'I could work on other abilities but I have another project to take care of in my free time, so it would be prudent I finish that first.'

"Anakin." A voice calls out but Anakin is currently distracted.

'It would be cool though, being able to do these things so for now I will put of the development of Alter based abilities because there must be a reason I need to master both Sense and Control first.'

"Anakin." Anakin continuously was inside this thoughts, clearly distracted not paying attention to his surroundings. Even though he has alot of mental power he currently has one of his thoughts processes meditating whilst the other is now distracted.

'From what I remember there are alot of abilities that would be considered Alter, and from among them I am only really interested in some that would make me more powerful. Art of the Small comes to my mind and if I am able to recreate this technique I would be able to modify my physical self.'

"Padawan Skywalker." Being woken up from his distracted state of mind, Anakin is reminded that he is actually currently within a lesson.

The person who had spoken to him at this moment was his current teacher, a Jedi instructor from the education division. 'Well, I think I should start to try and increase the amount of thoughts I can have at the same time or should have at least left some awareness for my surroundings.'

The person who had been saying his name was one of the Jedi younglings he had become acquainted with, Barriss. He was put into a class that was of a similar age group as himself while not being too hard to catch up in regards to teachings.

At least that was what Mace had told him when he was put with a bunch of children but he is not going to complain as he well knows there is alot for him to learn.

"Now that I have everyone's attention, shall we continue with the lesson?" The instructor glares a bit at Anakin.

Deciding to stop meditation which he is doing at the same time, he gets his other though process to connect with HK-47. 'Hey HK, do you think you could go somewhere for me?'

'Yes Master, anything and anywhere. I am always available.'
