Name: Tactus Gender: Male Species: [url=http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Chiss]Chiss[/url] Age: 19 Homeworld: Coruscant Appearance: [hider= Tactus][img]http://cdn.obsidianportal.com/assets/97317/ChissMale.jpg[/img][/hider] Personality: Tactus is a some times intense man who for even a Chiss excels at suppressing most if not all his emotions. When it comes to combat Tactus has the occasional bout of trance like fervor, though this has never once led him away from the light side of the force it was watched closely by his master when he was younger. He can be rather strict with some of his observations of the jedi code, however his interpretation of the code has differed in a few ways compared to that of some though not often. Tactus has never had trouble falling into where his place is and not questioning the word of his elders, though his master has been slowly breaking him of his habit. He has also had a fascination with why things work rather than how, this applies to everything from governments to the order itself. Flaws: Tactus has had trouble conquering the emotion of disgust and from time to time still does, though he has learned to control it with the help of his master. Tactus has never been good at sparring other saber wielders nor has he ever enjoyed it, if at all possible he will attempt to keep his distance from melee based opponents. Skills: Iightsaber forms: Shii-Cho, Soresu. Due to his reliance on more ranged weapons and tactics Tactus prefers to be on the defensive with the lightsaber and disengage duels as quickly as possible. Tactus however is rather proficient with most of the GAR armory due to his masters like of ranged offense but also due to spending much of his time as a padawan in the war. Equipment: Standard lightsaber (Dark blue) DC-17S Forearm gauntlets(made for protection from blasters) Simple jedi robes Utility belt w/ holster (contains collapse able data pad, thick metal cord, a few spare tibanna cartridges etc.) Force Abilities: Most abilities Tactus possess are centered around his ability to fire weapons accurately and obtain positions that are more advantageous. Force jump, Force push, Force sight, telekinesis, Force listening, Breath control(training). Personal History: Tactus was an orphan on Coruscant for reasons that are still unknown to him. However he was found to be force sensitive early and being as close as he was to the jedi center of power he was picked up rather early by the order. His earliest true memories however are of being raised in the temple and taught day in and day out about history and the jedi code. He preformed rather well at tasks that involved him having to little other than absorb knowledge. However Tactus struggled when he was required to think entirely out side of the box. He excelled as a youngling in strict adherence to an idea or method, again though he was unable to come up with things beyond simply combining old ideas. However when his initiate trials came around he was easily able to pass them especially the test of self discipline which he again excelled at. He was picked up soon after by Shir-Val-Kuul as a padawan. This may have been partly because of his love of non saber weapons which he shared with his superior. However she would battle Tactus's unquestioning nature throughout his entire apprenticeship. Most of her methods of teaching him lessons about the force were unconventional and Tactus initially struggled to understand some of the things she taught him. This was further compounded by Tactus conforming to one line of thought while the next Shir would have him guessing what happened. Later in his apprenticeship at the outbreak of the clone wars though the lessons she taught him began to come from the battlefield. Being thrust into battle in cities and on open ground was easily the time of his life that cemented his love for ranged combat. He found out quickly as that he was a rather excellent natural shot and he rather enjoyed it compared to what he thought was dreary lightsaber combat. It also helped that since most of the combatants were droids wielding weapons which in general complimented his fighting style of playing defensive until and opening was given. As the war progressed however and his teacher dragged him across the galaxy to different hotspots he also began to foster a sort of warriors bond with the clones they fought along side in increasingly intense fights. Though as the war and his apprenticeship begin to come to a close however he can't help but look forward to being a knight. Currently though he is inbetween missions and has taken up reading up on the end of wars past and how they moved the galaxy forward from there.
