Here we go again..!
I've made a lot of sabers in my time and only really one personal saber. Sold it not too long after. This, however, is what I consider my lightsaber. This is for my character, Yoshi-Taka Nabiad (yes, Yoshi-Taka is one name like Obi-Wan). Yoshi-Taka is a Jedi Diplomat and in terms of fighting style, he's not a fan of fighting. He prefers to work things out verbally and come to an understanding. As such, he is a Consular (specifically a Diplomat) and primarily fights with Soresu, to remain defensive and never striking except to disarm. Yoshi-Taka later leaves the Jedi Order after much confusion and disagreements, becoming a Gray Jedi and focusing on peace and the Force.
So what of the saber? It's the epitome of my philosophy in this hobby - serenity in simplicity. A lightsaber doesn't need to be extravagant or showy to be a great lightsaber. "Diplomat" uses the most basic of designs to create a lightsaber that is simple, sleek, fast, and comfortable to hold. Did I mention fast? Because it's extremely fast and loves to spin, which is perfect for Soresu and Makashi.
As it's a simple lightsaber, it uses simple electronics. It doesn't need much and cares more about run time than brightness (although it's still green so...). Fun note - this saber is also going to be the basis on my clan saber. Yes. I'm building a clan saber. I have a small clan and they are going to be using similar lightsabers to this. I'm extremely proud.
I don't know what else to say about it. It's simply me: simple, curvy, and has a little flair to it. Onto the good stuff now.
