Video; UN Bridger (back dated to the beginning of the month)
[The first month Ezra arrived in Trench, Madam Generosity gifted him with a crisp white and bronze Jedi style outfit. He’s never felt like there’s been the right occasion for it.
Until today.
His Omni is set down for a wide view, the Sanctuary grounds in the background, and Anakin Solo, in his own robes, at his side.]
Some of you may have heard me talk about, or seen a memory of my master, my first teacher, as a Jedi, Kanan Jarrus. Or even met him, because he was here, briefly.
[Ezra flashes a smile, bittersweet.]
Before he left these shores, we did an impromptu ceremony here at the guardian tree of the Sanctuary. A knighting. [His smile turns sheepish; he’s not here entirely to toot his own horn, honest.]
Back in the galaxy I’m from, Jedi Knights have taken a lot of different variations of oaths, over thousands of years of history. I’ve been thinking for a while about how to express my commitment to being a Jedi of Trench– believing that, for a lot of reasons, something closer to traditional wasn’t in the cards. So, with Knight Solo’s help, I wrote an oath that I think fits...here.
And accountability is important, at least to me, so- [He takes a deep breath, and raises his right hand, palm out.]
Here goes:
I, Ezra Bridger, Jedi Knight, vow to use all my skill and abilities to serve others rather than ruling over them.
To not seek personal power, but knowledge and enlightenment,
To act not out of aggression, but to defend and to protect,
To preserve what grows and lives well in its own way,
To support betterment and ease pain,
To guard justice and peace,
To put ever aside fear for courage, hatred for compassion,
And when it is fitting to do so, death for life
— looking always towards the Force, in which all are one,
Until my final death, or I return to the sea.
[Anakin nods, very solemn for a 17-year-old.]
Oath witnessed and acknowledged, Knight Bridger.
[Then Ezra and Anakin beam at each other with excitement, like the very young men they are, and Anakin claps a hand on Ezra’s shoulder. ]
And now the part I’m sure more of you will care about-
[Anakin rolls his eyes and talks over Ezra.]
We’re having a celebration tonight- [Ezra mouths ‘party’.] at the Sanctuary. Contact me or Sansa if you want to be more involved than showing up.
[Ezra has to get the last word before signing off.]
Everyone’s welcome!
(OOC: Ezra in blue, Anakin in green, obv. Link to party log here)

Well, long history and circumstances change. I tried to take parts from other versions I have accounts of, and make it, both hmm, extra inclusive and applicable to here.
[Should he spell out that he didn't mention the Jedi Order in the oath, on purpose?
Ah, he might as well.]
One wouldn't have to be a Jedi to take this version. If anyone else here ever decided they wanted to make a similar commitment.

I sincerely believe my final steps to knighthood have been taking making this world my home seriously and working towards figuring out how.

May I ask, if it's not too personal - if you had...such a turning point? [If sounds like she has. And well, so few Sleepers seem to speak so frankly about embracing this world and themselves as part of it.]
no subject
[What happened? Oh, she died too many times and felt like her soul was broken so she couldn't go back home. So, yeah. A thing.]

Well, if ever want to talk someone sympathetic to that outlook, my Omni's open.
