Khan Primarch has pale white skin and silver eyes, like most if not all Echani, and bears a striking but natural similarity to other Echani teens of his age. In a more distinguishing feature his white hair has been cropped short and put in a Padawan's braid. Khan has bright and inquisitive eyes that are quick to observe but slow in forgetting. He's a little short for his age with a crooked smile when he does smile, and those skilled at reading body-language like most Echani would ordinarily find a cheerful and eager young man with boundless curiosity, a sharp intellect and a slightly snarky sense of humor. To most outsiders however his emotional reactions seem flat and highly-controlled at all times.



Echani Appearance-Echani of the same sex all look fairly similar to each other in terms of physical appearance, and most have white skin, white hair and silver eyes. The Echani resemblance is strong enough that most non-Echani have difficulty telling individuals of the same sex apart from one another and the Echani themselves mainly rely on body language and emotional and psychological cues to tell one another apart.

Echani culture-revolves heavily around combat and Echani believe that it is one of the truest forms of communication, thus almost all Echani are trained in martial arts throughout their lives from a very young age, and fighting both ritual and non-ritual suffuses their lives at every level. They also heavily study tactics on levels ranging from personal combat to mass warfare and Echani military officers are even erroneously labeled as being capable of 'predicting' the moves of their opponents.

Echani Body-Reading-due to their similar appearances and cultural focus on empathy through combat all Echani are raised to be capable of reading the intent, emotions and identities of others through their body-language, especially in combat which they believe to be the truest and purest form of communication.


Khan is still young and inexperienced, fairly naive and physically somewhat weak and yet to begin reaching his full physical potential. In short his biggest weaknesses are those that spring from his still being somewhat young and lacking both emotional and physical maturity. Being imprisoned has not exactly helped matters emotionally and mentally, though Khan has not yet been broken. As someone raised in the Echani culture he can also be a little too willing to fight at times and solve situations with violence although he would consider it 'negotiating' of a sort.



Fast Reflexes and improved agility-Even without The Force to supplement him Khan has faster than normal reflexes for a boy of fourteen and is above average in terms of physical agility. These facts compliment both his basic lightsaber skills and ability with Echani Martial Arts.

Curious intellect- Khan is curious and keenly observational, picking up many concepts quickly and possessed of a certain level of talent for mimicry as well as analysis. Though his cultural background means he's so far used this to further his interest in various fighting arts, his bright mind is a useful tool for any endeavor. In addition his culturally acquired skill of body-reading combined with his knack for analysis and mimicry means he can pick up physical skills with surprising ease and rapidity.

Echani-supplemented Lightsaber Training- As an initiate, Khan received basic training in the first Form of lightsaber combat and is thus familiar with the motions, strike zones and techniques required to use a lightsaber. During his training as an initiate he has also supplemented this with Echani sword-techniques to create a rough, unorthodox but technically functional lightsaber style, further mixed and disciplined with the defensive schooling of his master Damian Koth's preferred Soresu. All of this means that Khan has a cautious style dedicated to defending and reading his opponents sprinkled in with occasional aggressive improvisations to catch them off-guard. That said, Khan is wildly inexperienced and the clashing influences in his combat style mean that his technique is lacking, basic and unrefined though perhaps enough to keep him alive in battle.

Echani Martial Artist-Khan had been training in the Echani martial arts since the early days of his childhood, and has at least joked in the past that he had been fighting even before he learned to talk. He not only was tutored personally by a high-ranking military officer in the form of his mother, but also experienced hand-to-hand combat on a daily basis as a part of his everyday life. The fact that his childhood mainly consisted of traveling with one group of Echani soldiers or another only enhanced his skills. As such the unarmed and blade-based martial arts of the Echani come about as naturally to him as breathing and he's considered quite proficient by Echani standards and perhaps something of a prodigy by the intergalactic standards one would use to judge a fourteen year old boy.

Echani Body-Reading-As an Echani raised in the Echani culture, Khan has been trained to read the emotions, intent and identity of others through their body-language to the point where he considers even the subtlest movements of one's body, especially in combat, to be the purest form of communication.

Tactical Knowledge-As someone raised by a high-ranking military officer in a culture that holds combat as borderline sacred while spending his most formative years around soldiers, Khan has been tutored in tactics on levels ranging from personal combat to interplanetary warfare and is quite a skilled tactician for his age, at least on a theoretical level.

Strong mental fortitude- Khan has a very strong personal sense of will, though others might say instead that he's just somewhat hardheaded and stubborn at times.


Though gifted with a decent amount of potential Khan has only begun to scratch the surface of the force.

Force Speed
Khan can barely speed himself up to be a few fractions of a second faster than he would be without this ability

Telekinesis / Throw
Khan is not yet capable of throwing living beings, and can only lift and throw small objects.

Force Sight
Khan is only just learning to use this ability and has only minimal control over it.

Force Sense
As someone born in a society where the ability to read others and the environment was paramount, Khan is fairly good Force Sense this given his age and level of experience, though he has yet to truly hone his potential for the ability.

Precognition
Khan has a decent instinctual usage of precognition, but is not always capable of recognizing it for what it is and often disregards his 'instincts' in favor of sating his curiosity or fighting when it isn't advisable

Mind trick
The Mind Trick was a favorite of his master Damian Koth for avoiding violent confrontation, and while Khan understands the basics of the ability he has yet to be able to use it successfully.

Force Jump
Khan can only extend his jump by a few feet in height and/or length and barely reduce injuries from his falls.

{Jedi} tutaminis (basic)
Khan can barely block basic force attacks with effort and concentration.

Khan's mother was a female Echani military officer of rather high rank within the Echani military under the Echani Command. As such she and the rest of his family raised him as appropriate both within Echani culture and as the child of a warrior. That is, he was raised with combat both practical and ritual filling every aspect of his life, from greeting his family in the morning to more formal training throughout the day, mostly in hand-to-hand forms and light, bladed weaponry favored by the Echani. Even when he wasn't being formally trained in physical combat or 'communicating' through ritualized combat, his mother set him to studying tactics on all levels, and it was expected that he would become a fine duelist or soldier and perhaps even a gifted military officer in his own right if he studied well enough despite the matriarchal nature of Echani society. Though he spent much more time traveling among soldiers and his mother's retinue than he did on Eshan, the martial emphasis of his surroundings meant that in a way he had as normal and happy a childhood as any Echani might.

All of this changed when Khan was around 8 years old and once again traveling with his mother on one of her many trips reviewing the state of Echani military affairs as she often did when not actively commanding. A chance encounter with a Jedi Knight and his own burning curiosity were what started Khan down his particular path. Specifically, having heard stories of Jedi battle prowess from the soldiers around him and rumors of the combat secrets taught to children on Arkania, he decided he would learn more about a Jedi firsthand in the most common sense and obvious way possible: by ambushing and fighting him. During their little mock battle, the Jedi in question realized that the Echani military brat was subtly and instinctively using The Force as he fought. No time was wasted in informing Khan's mother of the fact and demanding he be taken to Arkania for proper training as an Initiate.

Khan's mother was both overjoyed and somewhat saddened by the news. On the one hand, her youngest son would be taken from her but on the other he had the potential to go on to be a great intergalactic warrior as a Jedi and learn modes of combat few Echani ever got to experience. Not to mention of course, he would get the chance to wield the most impressive of swords: a lightsaber. After careful consideration she consented without protest and Khan's life as a Jedi-to-be began. For the next five years Khan trained fiercely to become the best Jedi he could, though he mainly was fascinated by all things involving combat.

Training as an Initiate did temper Khan somewhat and unlike some Echani to become Jedi he was convinced during that period of the value of beginning to study non-violent applications of The Force and other non-combat skills, mainly through appeal to his sense of empathy. Thus although his skills and knowledge of The Force were somewhat behind his fellow students, when the time came for his Initiate trials he was prepared enough to succeed.

Perhaps to his disappointment, the Jedi Knight he received as a master was the somewhat notoriously pacifistic Damian Koth. While Koth was a noted practitioner of Soresu, his real talents were as an investigator and negotiator. In fact Koth had selected Khan in an attempt to curb the young man's violent tendencies and bring greater balance to his life. Despite the raging war Koth avoided front line battle assignments for himself and his apprentice, instead taking on assignments bodyguarding important officials and investigating rumors of infiltrators, corruption and spies of the Sith that often turned out to be false.

Coruscant was supposed to be downtime and a break from what Khan considered their already tedious assignments. Instead the city was sacked and Khan was captured with the fate of his master unknown, at least to him. Now he waits and studies his captors, to learn all that he can about his enemies for the inevitable rescue he knows-or at least hopes- is coming.



Though he's young and rather malleable Khan is far from a blank slate. He wants to bring honor and respect to his family as a Jedi in the future and in the present learn all that he can about just about everything, having always been possessed of an insatiable curiosity only furthered by his master's training. As such even the prison ship is sometimes a new and interesting environment to him. He's both used to and fascinated by combat in all of its' forms, but the culture that raised him to view fighting as normalized also raised him to consider empathy, restraint in battle, control over his own emotions and honor as primary virtues. His master's own distaste for violence also occasionally wars with his upbringing in that regard. Khan wants to do the right thing overall and become a strong and honorable knight capable of protecting others, despite his youth, his naivete and his flaws.


Really I'm interested in seeing where this young, suggestible character will wind up as he's influenced by events over the course of the RP. At the moment he's been raised to very much value being a Lightsider of a sort but there's also been far more emphasis on fighting, strength in combat and violence in his life than in that of most Star Wars teens or children and his naivete and youth combined with that could easily be used to change him depending on how the story develops. While he's more skilled than average in some ways given his age at the moment I'm also interested in seeing how his skill-set develops into something unique over time depending on who he has for teachers and what he experiences. In short I want to take a younger character and see how he slowly grows up in the story and universe we're making together, if possible.

Currently Khan sees his fellow Jedi both captive and non as allies and authority figures that his family has entrusted him to and views the Sith and forces that have captured him as enemies who he should resist in any way possible when he gets the chance. He's been told that the way of the Jedi is combat but with restraint and that the Jedi way is honorable, so naturally he defers to that.

Regarding his master Damian Koth, Khan was often at odds with him and what he saw as his strange non-violent outlook on life, though over time he came to admire the man somewhat for achieving with words and strategy what Khan would have solved with fighting and even he had to admit that Koth's Soresu defenses were admirable to behold if somewhat 'unsatisfactory' in intention. Now that he's out of contact with Koth however, he's begun to question the wisdom of his master's worldview somewhat.
