Star Wars(tm) Jedi Knight(tm) III: Jedi Academy(tm) was a great game by itself, but what I really remember it for was back in 2007 or so, "MogMod" appeared on modding websites, and it just made the experience complete. It gave you the option to be an anthro moogle with emo-y hairstyles, and new fashion options like spiky armour, or more memorably, a bare-midriff jingle-bell jester complete with the hat. I think no matter what, the character always had a kind of half-lidded, cynical expression on their face, and given how angsty Jaden could be in cutscenes, it was very fitting to their personality.

I don't know who designed or made the anthro-ized Moogle, or the clothing, or why they picked a sexy jester outfit. I've never seen the model appear in other mods, although an old readme suggests they got it into Morrowind and Oblivion at some point. There is a little bit of fanart of this character floating around from long ago, but that's about it. I don't know if this was based on someone's OC, fursona, or what. It's just one of those mysterious yet beautiful internet things that stays with you the rest of your life. Jaden Korr is just an emo moogle to me now. If you're going to play Jedi Academy, I suggest you play with the MogMod, plus whatever mega pack of lightsaber hilts you like.

I tried to keep on-model for drawing the character. The model has oversized paw-hands, which make the lightsabers look amusingly tiny in his grip, so I've stuck to that.
