Delos is a protégé for his age in Lightsaber combat, having a strong grasp of both styles he's currently practicing. He is known for integrating physical strikes into his dueling to further pressure his opponents.
Skills -
Physical Prowess: Delos has trained hard to hone his body as a conduit of his saber and the Force, using brute force, acute reflexes, and agility to out perform others in duels.
Grit: Delos wouldn't have disciplined him self to the extent that he has if he didn't have a natural grit. He isn't one to give up, which is great when it comes to completing missions for the Republic, but not so great when retreat is the best option.
Read to Learn/Thirst for Knowledge: Delos loves acquiring knowledge and new skills, especially regarding his training. He's a very boisterous student.
Flaws -
Stubborn: Delos is a very passionate person by nature, and though he's managed to calm down as he's matured and trained, he still struggles with being wrong, especially about things he's passionate.
Problems with the Force: Delos struggles with fully tuning in with the Force and letting it guide him. He's unsure where lies the problem, but it's a problem he's working on overcoming.
Personality -
Delos has a passionate, witty sort of personality. He's great at connecting with others and he loves to make friends, though he tries his best to be careful with the bonds he makes. Delos truly loves the Republic, and holds the Jedi in high regards for practically raising him and giving him purpose. This means he's very determined to do good by both of them, which tends to land him in trouble from time to time. Being eager to please can lead to impulsivity and rash decision making, a flaw of his he needs to work on. Delos has an ambition to become a great Jedi one to day to protect those who can't protect themselves.
Backstory -
Normally, Chiss hold the stereotype being a race that focuses on strategy over strength, young Delos made quick work of proving it wrong. He was taken into the Order at a young age like most Force-sensitive beings. While some chose to intensely study the archives, Delos discovered he had a real knack for combat, and honed in on those aspects of himself. While other's were reading, the Chiss was exercising or practicing his saber forms. Though he struggled with fully grasping the entirety of the Force's abilities, it was undeniable that Delos had a nature talent in combat.
When it came to deciding who his master would be, it was suggested that Delos be trained by someone who could enhance his combat abilities as well as show him the subtle, diplomatic, and Force-tuned side of being a Jedi. It was finally concluded that Vasha Taal would be the perfect fit for Delos, and the two soon after began their journey as Jedi and Padawan. Working with Taal has been quite fulfilling for Quelel, in the sense that being taken under her wing has opened his eyes to a number of things. Working with her to aid her home-planet's inhabitants had given him a great sense of gratitude for the Order, as well as instilled a sense to help those in need.
Travelling with her to track Fallen Jedi has not only honed his combat sense, and showed him how Jedi can easily be swayed by the Dark Side, something he keeps aware of. When Taal's master disappeared, Delos joined her desperate search, and though he realized she had been taken over by emotion, empathized with her. When Vasha finally managed to get a Task Force approved, Delos was glad to be a part of the team, hoping to use this mission as a learning tool, being placed with a variety of members he's never worked with before.
