The Early Days

Dash Starlight regularly visited public JA+ servers with Hellmouth and the Angels HQ being amongst his favorites. He was met with criticism right off the bat due to his playing style. This was because Dash Starlight enjoyed using the medium stance, which wasn’t appreciated by everyone.
During this time he met a player nicknamed Padawan who turned out to be Jaina D’Kana. She told Dash Starlight about the existence of the Jedi Academy after he expressed his interest in enhancing his lightsabercombat abilities with a focus on the medium stance. He then discovered a place with a most special atmosphere and a vast amount of knowledge and skills.
Dash Starlight took his time to get familiar with the Jedi Academy before looking for a master. He decided to contact Virtue concerning padawanship, because he could play during the weekends only and was therefore missing a lot of classes. Under the tutelage of Virtue, Dash Starlight started developing into an effective medium stance purist, but also learned about movement, Force and basic gunning.
