Alright Jaren!! Welcome aboard! So I like this story a lot! There are a few tweaks I want to make for clarity and timeline purposes, though. Here goes.
1) The unnamed Sith that killed his parents: almost perfect. However, given how I'm trying to stick to canon as much as possible, I was thinking he could be Asajj Ventress's predecessor, and have been affiliated with the Sith, but not a true Sith like her. In other words, he would be an assassin in the employ of Dooku. Since he was still running around during the Clone Wars when Jaren kills him, I was thinking it would be because of some predictable squabble between Dooku and the killer which caused him to go into hiding. This is because Ventress was the go-to assassin in the Wars. Small things that have no real effect on the story or how it went down, but the details help ground it in canon lore. Sound good?
2) The taking of the crystal to make his new saber works for me, too. It's been done before. And the color change reflects his personality, just like when Ahsoka took the crystals from a dead Inquisitor's blade and turned them white. What's not right, though, is the "making" of a second crystal. Crystals can't be made anymore, so if that can be changed to him going back to a crystal rich planet, like Jedha or Ilum, the story can remain the same. Took a new crystal and the Sith crystal and made a new dual-blade. EDIT NOTE: just realized that you said he made a new crystal, then a sentence later says that he poured his emotions into his masters crystal, then in color it goes back to him making a new crystal from scratch. So I just want to clarify. When he killed the Sith and escaped the clones, he...what? Lost his own saber, but held on to the Sith's and grabbed his now dead masters blade? Or did he leave with three sabers, but then only use two crystals for the new blade? Or his own and the Sith's? Or just the Sith's? Just a little fuzzy.
3) For the lightsaber design, I'm guessing it's a two piece system? As in two sabers that function as batons when apart, but can then join together at the base of the hilts to make one big staff design? Ventress's were also like that. Her twin sabers could interlock to form a staff.
I think that's all I got. What do you think? Let me know and thanks for signing up!

Alright, So I can definitely get with the changes to the assassin instead of Sith change, fits with the story and the character. In the story I should have clarified that he had taken his masters saber and the assassins saber. He took the assassins as a trophy and his masters as a reminder. He killed the asssassin took his saber, gets attacked by the clones and uses his masters saber and the assassins saber to kill the clones. So (I think) That leaves him with two crystals lol. (I'm gonna be honest, I tried to scrawl it out as quick as possible at work and then just ctrl+c'd it) And his Light saber is a two piece design. When apart they're shock batons, and together they are a staff saber.
But All around I like the changes, thanks for having me on.

Alrighty, then. Sounds good to me. So you can still refer to the killer as Sith (don't know if it will matter since he's dead), but he just won't be a Sith Lord. No Darth title. So he would just be a Dark Acolyte with Sith training, technically. But it's enough to call him a Sith for simplicities sake.
And I figured it was a two piece set up, which is fine. Just wanted to confirm. Thanks for clearing up how many sabers he walked out with. I like how you made it while still at work. That's great. Alright then. So if you're cool, I'm cool. I'll move this to approved! It's vague about where he flew off to after escaping, plus his adventures afterwards, so I'm ok if you want to just pick a planet and start there. Just not Umbara for plot reasons. Hell, if he wants to be in space going somewhere, that's fine too. Your call. Looking forward to his story and seeing how he reacts when he eventually meets Farren and Aayla!!!

Ok, so my iPad is stupid and won't let me transfer your bio into the actual approved section, but just go ahead and post like it is when you're ready. I'll make sure to move it when I get to a real laptop.

Hair color: Black hair and beard.
Eye Color: Brown, with a hint of yellow to them.
Height: 6'5"

Species: Human
Home Planet: Tatooine
Organization*: Formerly a Jedi, Jaren Rouhell is now a sell-saber, a warrior for hire.
Personality: Jaren is a mercenary, who will take on contracts that he thinks are just. If he finds out something about an act that is unjust, he will find the wrong doer and end them one way or another.
Background: Born on Tatooine to two slaves, he was raised as a hand in Mos Eisley spaceport. His family had become slaves to the Hutts, after gambling all their money away on pod races. One night when he was just a child he heard screaming coming from the cantina where his parents worked. He walked in and saw a man cloaked in black wielding a red saber with an ornate silver handle stood over his parents lifeless bodies. He ran and knelt down where they lay and wept upon them. Filled with anger and rage he grabbed his fathers blaster and fired it at the man who killed his parents. The Sith deflected the shots with ease and motioned towards Jaren. Jaren then felt a terrible sensation, it was as if something was tightening around his neck and raising him up. He started to fade out of consciousness, then a man wielding a green blade came and cut the man in blacks hand off, sending him running off into the night. The Jedi, a Zabrak named Nyx Kexa, started to help Jaren and felt that the force was strong in him. He took Jaren back to Coruscant to train him in the ways of the Jedi. He learned many things in his time there, but his specialty was mind tricks and stasis. He studied under Mace Windu for combat training learning the Seventh Form of saber technique. His master had gotten close to him, so much so that he started to refer to him as "father", and his master called him "son". When the clone wars started he would join his master on his many campaigns, honing his skills with a lightsaber. On his final campaign, they ran into the man in black, the Sith who had killed Jaren's parents. A fierce duel broke out between the two Jedi and the Sith. The Sith defeated Jaren with ease, as he was using Jaren's anger to fuel his own power. He then moved on to Jaren's master, and landed a nearly fatal blow to him, he then left them to die. Jaren and his master made it back to base and nursed their injuries. Jaren planned on finding this Sith and killing him that night. He went out in the cover of darkness and looked for his target. Jaren snuck into the Sith's chambers and held him there, and removed the sith's mask hoping to see fear in his eyes. He stared into the chisses deep red eyes seeing nothing but contempt and a sort of twisted acceptance, "Do you know who I am?" Jaren asked his captive. " The little brat who I should've killed on Tatooine so long ago." he responded. "What is your name?" Jaren growled. " Does it even matter? You'll kill me anyways." The chiss responded. "Answer me!" Jaren shouted. The sith responded " Teth'Cet"Nizla, there feel better? Happy that you know the name of the man who killed your parents? Like I said, it doesn’t matter anymore." Jaren then took the silver saber that murdered his parents and killed the chiss with it. He left with pride to tell his master what he had done, but his master gave him a look of horror. His master said "I am no longer your father, and you are no longer my apprentice!" Just then two clones walked in and opened fire on the two Jedi. Jaren, deflected the shots, but his master was defenseless and was killed. Filled with anger and pain he drew the Siths saber and absolutely annihilated the clones in the camp. He ran off, boarded the nearest ship and flew away.
Lightsaber Style (if applicable): Jaren's saber is a long Staff Saber that doubles as a pair of shock batons. He built his saber from scrap he had found and the crystal in his parents murderers saber. He made his second crystal when he realized what he had done, and poured all his regret, anger, and sadness into the crystal of his former masters lightsaber.
Lightsaber Color (if applicable): Fiery Orange, His saber is made with two red Kyber crystals. One from a siths blade, and one he had made
Force Affiliation: He serves the Light, but the Dark is constantly calling to him. He uses the Vaapad technique in combat, and isn't afraid to use the Dark side to bring justice to the galaxy.
