Personality:
Obi-Wan had been with and trained by the Jedi Order since he was a very small child. Because of that he's grown into a very powerful but disciplined Jedi Master. In his youth he was quite headstrong and even defiant, just as his Master was. However, as he's grown older those traits have diminished somewhat with his experience and maturity. As a strict follower of the Jedi Code, he's able to keep his emotions and feelings well under control in most circumstances, and is thus usually very calm and focused. He has always been taught and known that fear and anger leads to the dark side, and for that he represses these feelings. Though there was at least one or two instances where he has nearly given over to anger in relating to his late Master and the Sith Lord who killed him.
As a Padawan he was apprenticed to Qui-Gon Jinn. Since Jedi are discovered as very young children and taken from their families to be trained, they essentially have no family. Thus the bond between master and apprentice is the closest thing they have to a child-parent relationship with anyone. It was no different in Obi-Wan's case as he viewed Qui-Gon to not only be his friend and mentor, but a father figure as well. Thus the two of them were very close. Witnessing the death of his master at the hands of a Sith Lord was nothing short of devastating. It is human to feel anger in such circumstances, and while he was tempted to give in to this during the fight with Darth Maul, he managed not to. However, he was faced with this yet again upon discovering that Darth Maul had survived their previous fight, once again tempted to give into his anger but managing not to. If he had, it could have possibly led him down a very dark path.
Instead with age and experience he became a cautious and conservative mentor to his own apprentice, though some times perhaps a bit too critical of him. In his dying moments Qui-Gon had asked Obi-Wan to train Anakin Skywalker, who he believed to be the Chosen One that would bring balance to the Force. Obi-Wan gave him his word and followed through, taking Anakin as his Padawan learner. Practically raising the boy the two of them became very close. As a result he loved Anakin like a brother. They have been through a lot together, including fighting side by side during the Clone Wars. Thus when Anakin turned to the Dark Side and ultimately betrayed him and the rest of the Jedi, it was devastating. However, Obi-Wan had to do his duty and faced his apprentice in a duel which ended in Anakin's defeat upon severing his legs. Despite that, Obi-Wan could not bring himself to kill Anakin, even though he probably should have. Hearing Anakin screaming the words 'I hate you', and the gruesome sight of watching him get burned alive, is something that will haunt Obi-Wan for the rest of his life.
With kindness and gentleness Obi-Wan would rather avoid physical confrontations and thus prefers diplomacy, which has earned him the reputation of 'The Negotiator' among many star systems. But he will not hesitate to jump into action if he needs to. He usually thinks and plans before making his moves, rather than just rushing into things. Though he certainly can be quite bold as he has dropped in among a fleet of droids that easily outnumbered him in a fight. While he is often serious, he isn't without a sense of humor and has a bit of sarcastic wit as shown with his bantering back and forth with Anakin. Sometimes even getting a little defensive in the process. While Jedi aren't supposed to have attachments to people or things, Obi-Wan has shown himself to be friendly and very personable. He tends to make friends wherever he goes.
Obi-Wan has always shown himself to be studious and has not only grown very knowledgeable, but is also wise beyond his years. This wisdom, patience, and experience managed to gain him a seat on the Jedi Council. A high honor that most Master Jedi do not achieve as only a small percentage of them get to this position. He was extremely loyal to the Jedi Order, the Republic, and to democracy. Thus when the Republic ultimately fell, and the Jedi Order destroyed, it was a shock that shook him to his core. Though at the same time it wasn't entirely unexpected as he had been witnessing the gradual corruption of the Senate for some time, particularly in regards to Chancelor Palpatine whom he had believed to be dangerous and untrustworthy, only to end up being a Sith Lord. Even though he is compassionate, he will do what needs to be done for the good of all. Even those closest to him could not override his sense of duty and what he feels to be right, as he had to make some very difficult decisions upon the fall of the Republic. Including the break up of the Order and having to go into hiding, unable to do anything about the fall of the Republic or the Force being shrouded in darkness. The most difficult though was having to face Anakin after he had turned to the dark side and killed all the Jedi in the temple. This having been the most difficult time he's had to face, leaving him anguished and sorrowful. In part he blames himself for not seeing the signs sooner and acting upon them.
Abilities:
Obi-Wan is a Force sensitive individual and a trained Jedi Master. All of his abilities either come from the Force or are enhanced by it.
These abilities include proficiency as a swordsman, particular in lightsaber combat. He is a master of the lightsaber form Soresu, Form III, or THE master as Mace Windu put it. As well as highly proficient in other forms as well. His style is largely defensive, making him very difficult to hit, but he will go on the offensive as well when need be.
The Force also gives him heightened senses, physical strength, and mental abilities. His strength and endurance is greater than that of a normal human, and he is able to perform enhanced physical feats such as leaping great distances or running very fast. He is also able to sense what is around him, able to feel all life in the Force and has very quick reflexes as he can see things just before they happen. Obi-Wan also possesses a limited sort of telepathy and empathy, especially with those he is bonded to. Allowing him to communicate with others mentally, especially with other Force Sensitive individuals. He is also capable of mental manipulation, particularly through the Jedi Mind Trick where he can impose his will on weak minded individuals.
Force healing is also an ability he can use in a limited capacity. He can heal minor wounds and promote accelerated healing in himself and others. He was only minimally trained in this art as it wasn't his specialty, but he could potentially get better at it with practice.
Despite his hate of flying, Obi-Wan is also a very talented and capable pilot. He has flown ships of many different kinds ever since he was old enough to do so.
Also while having an aversion to blasters and other such weapons, Obi-Wan is also an excellent shot. Having passed as a top marksman while undercover as a sniper assassin.
One of the things that he is also most well known for is his ability to negotiate. He prefers to use his words rather than fight, and has quelled many a disagreement before they could erupt into a fight. In fact, he was so good as it that he earned the nickname 'The Negotiator' during the Clone Wars. Despite that, he was a soldier and general in the army of the Galactic Republic. Strategy, planning, and leadership are all qualities he has shown himself to have during this time and while sitting as a member of the Jedi High Council.
