Star Wars: Revanchism [Knights of the Old Republic/Mandalorian Wars]

Thanks. I'm hoping that Sundered Echo will allow me to be the Miraluka's Padawan, but like the in-game situation, I'm just waiting for any Jedi that will take me.

As acquaintances go, Would you be open to Valek knowing Ihna Zhiss? He comes across as arrogant, brash, and condescending, but as an idealist against injustices like slavery and prejudice. I was thinking that she knew his master, and thus they met as acquaintances. Also, how tall is she?

As a Kaleesh, his view of war is that it is a necessary part of life. He has not heard of Revan or the Revanchists cause, rather he most likely signed up for defense against the atrocities the Mandalorians committed. The Council KNEW what happened on Cathar, and still did not lend full support. With word going around of what the Mandalorians did on Cathar, it was probably his code of honor that drove him to IRSOG.

That said, do you know of any Jedi training facilities near Kalee, given that it's in Wild Space?

Heyseuss, if it makes it easier, I've been nicknamed DSW by another advanced game I did. Also, thank you. Taris was hit in the year the game is set, and I was unclear if the Mercy Corps was formed before or after the siege of Taris.

Also, to be in the mercy corps, how much do you have to know about the Revanchists' cause? My Kaleesh is merely a Padawan.

Star Wars: Revanchism [Knights of the Old Republic/Mandalorian Wars]

HeySeuss, since I need to have my Kaleesh know at least two PCs, I read over your Zabrak's profile. I'd like my character to know yours in some way. And to be clear, have the Mandalorians sieged Taris yet? I wanted to have my Kaleesh, Valek's previous master die while on a diplomatic mission to Taris while he himself was elsewhere.

Oh, like that dude who ran that cafe in Episode two! Cool. I'd recommend Trandoshan as well. Bossk was my favorite bounty Hunter until I discovered that the Mandalorians were essentially Ancient Sparta in space. I'd presume(so I can't be made an ass) you'd go military with the Besalisk?

Well, a Zabrak is a near-human Kaleesh... I'll give you that one on not being anything close to a human.

Yeah, because they're technically Reptilian! Yay for reptilian species.. What species were you planning on, If I may ask? We also, now that I looked, have Lorrdians and Miralukans. Which, again, near-human-but still.

With all these humans, I'm probably going to go non-human. I was going to ask if I could go a Jedi Ace but that wouldn't work with the species I have in mind.

We also have a Zabrak, and I'm waiting on my Kaleesh to get approval. Speaking of my Kaleesh, who wants to have known him in the past?

Edit: My Kaleesh is now a Padawan, since I was looking at his CS and thought he would do better that way.

Also, I like the Miraluka, and wanted my Kaleesh to be Her Padawan since his master died. Because her last name is so similar to the Kaleesh word Sheelal, he could jokingly call her Master Dreamer.

So, I was thinking, since my Kaleesh is 24, and just recently knighted, how well should he know any of you? Also, will someone take a look at my CS?

Star Wars: Revanchism [Knights of the Old Republic/Mandalorian Wars]

I've posted my CS to the thread, but I left relationships blank because I'd rather plan that out here. Before I do that though, I wanted to make sure that a Kaleesh is ok to begin with.

Star Wars: Revanchism [Sheets]

Valek Xannoh

Character Sheet

Name: Valek Xannoh

Species:Kaleesh

Age: 19

Rank/Title: Padawan
Planet of Origin/Birth:Kalee

Force Sensitive Y/N:Yes

Appearance:

Exceptionally tall, and imposing. As a Kaleesh, he has red scaly skin, pointed ears,tusks, and four fingered claws for hands. The toes are much larger, and lend to his imposing figure. He stands at 2.13 meters (Roughly 7 feet tall.) carries a digitigrade stance, meaning he walks on his toes.




Skills/Abilities/Talents/Training:
- Like all Jedi, Valek has an affinity for the Force, and thus can use the general abilities of the force, such as Telekinesis, etc.
-Jedi Reflexes. When used in conjunction with his natural Kaleesh battle instincts, he is dangerous.

-Lightsaber Combat: Given his background, he was trained in Jar'Kai but developed a personalized unorthodox fighting form, involving prolonged lightning-fast flurries and power moves designed to overwhelm his enemies. (It is similar in usage to General Grievous when Grievous fights using only two lightsabers.) additionally, he can wield three lightsabers if balancing on one leg. It's roots can be found in a blend of Djem So and Makashi.

-night vision thanks to Kaleesh physiology.

Flaws
-Impatient. As the son of a Kaleesh Warlord, he is used to getting what he wants when he wants it.

-Headstrong: when he has a particular idea or stratagem in his head he will pursue it regardless of what others say.

-He is not known for his subtlety. He would rather face an enemy head on.

-Lightsaber reliance: Despite having a strong affinity for the force, he relies on Lightsaber combat, a drawback of both Jar'Kai and his personalized style. Additionally, he relies heavily on being unorthodox.

-Arrogant-As is the culture of his people, he thinks himself a warrior, and that battle, and thus war in General is a necessary practice to ensure balance in the universe. His speech comes across as condescending, and demeaning, even if he means well.

Equipment:[indent]
-Two hand-built lightsabers with the hilt as pictured:
-the traditional clothing of the Kaleesh, with a traditional Karabbac mask.
-a Jedi utility belt.

Psych profile:[INDENT]
Raised from a young age in the Jedi Temple, he has been indoctrinated in the light side's ideals,but the culture of his people still resides in him. The ritualistic, warlike people of his home planet did however, imbue in him a sense of honor, and his time with the Order has seemed only to strengthen his code of honor. It remains to be seen, however, if he has inherited the Kaleesh temper. He is also an idealist, of a sort, crusading to right the "Injustices done to my people, both on and off my home world." Despite his initial treatment and scars at the hands of the Huk, he is determined to end the practice of enslaving his people and put an end to the preconceived notions that continue to plague his peoples' image.

History:[INDENT]
At this time in Galactic History, the Kaleesh had yet to play any major role, usually being brought up as slaves in the Sith Empire, often by the Huk. Yet because this is the Mandalorian Wars and the Sith are thought to be extinct, we shall press onward.

Born on Kalee under the name Valek Xannoh, raised by his people. As a child, his father taught him to use Lig swords, and at the age of eight, he obtained his mask. It was around this time as well, that he began to display force sensitivity, but the Kaleesh dismissed it as being favored by the pantheon they worshipped. Continuously, he was trained with the Lig swords, becoming quite the expert with them. By age ten, he was his father's favored son.

Unfortunately, the Huk attacked his tribe shortly afterward, massacring the women and children deemed too weak. The men who could fight, did. Valek himself put up a significant fight, killing at least five of the intruders before being beaten into submission. Despite his efforts,Valek was sold into slavery, and was forced to watch as his people were treated as little more than chattel. He was lucky, and placed on the Galactic Market, being renamed into what he is now called,but soon was bought by a Jedi knight, sensing his force ability. He was taken to the temple, and brought into the order. It was here, at the temple that he learned of a new kind of injustice done to his people, though not on the same level of barbarism as slavery.

It was here that he learned of prejudice and speciesism. He was not treated unfairly, at least, not to his face, but he still was ridiculed for the preconceived notions of what exactly his people are. During his teens as a Padawan, he often shared his doubts with his mentor, a Jedi named Gaeton Varga, who understood his plight.

Understanding, however, did not translate to slack. His time as a Padawan was rough, his mentor's teachings at times seeming to clash with his innate culture, and at times seeming to harmonize with his sense of honor. Eventually, however he reconciled the teachings of the light with his culture. Due to the war, however, his mentor, Gaeton Varga, was killed. Ironically, he was not present because Varga had thought he would not need him-it was supposed to be a routine diplomacy mission. Following the death of his previous master,Valek was brought back from his mission on Kalee. Informed of his former master's death,he was sent back to the temple, where he awaited a new master. As the days turned into weeks, Valek began to hear of Revan. Of the "Republic Mercy Corps."

The ideals of this interventionist movement intrigued him, and with the death of his mentor, he knew something had to be done. So he joined, a Padawan, and was sent to IRSOG 37.

As a Kaleesh, he, like his people believe that war is necessary for balance, that peace cannot exist without conflict to balance it. Unlike his people, however, he believes that in every conflict, there are good men. Good SHOULD prevail.

Relationships and Acquaintances:
Jedi Knight Ayessa Shayal-The Miraluka has taken him as her Padawan, if only out of necessity. Though the two have yet to meet.
Leto-the two dueled when their praexums met as part of a training exercise. He soundly bested Leto, but the two parted on good terms.
