Name: Xevran
Age: 25
Gender: Male
Species: Schenor
Abilities:
-Martial arts/lightsaber training: As a schenor, Xevran has trained heavily in martial arts, something which branched over into his jedi training. He is primarily a lightsaber combatant, letting the force fuel his body rather than utilize it in more obvious forms. He has trained extensively in the use of multiple lightsaber forms, as well as the use of a single blade and dual sabers, though he is more proficient with some forms than others. Xevran's preferred forms are that of the Shien or Soresu. As he prefers the path of non-violence where possible, Soresu is usually his first choice, with Shien being his preferred offensive stance. He has trained to use both of these styles with dual sabers and a single blade. When fighting another force-user, be it training against a jedi or dueling against a sith, Xevran prefers to fight in the old style. A single blade, wielded in the form of Makashi. On more than one occasion he has used this form's opening stance as a challenge to sith. And when he has no alternative but to end his opponents, Xevran has trained in the art of Juyo, solely with dual blades. In so doing he allows his inner warrior self, usually kept guarded behind the jedi code, to run rampant with the force. Oftentimes he is only a hair's breadth from danger when using this form, and he does not do so unless it is his only option.
-Force training: Of course, as a jedi, Xevran received training in the use of the force. However, his practice of it is more a philosophical purpose rather than as an offensive one. He has the ability to push enemies and manipulate physical objects with the force, but he prefers to do so with his own might. More often he will allow the force to flow through his body, amplifying his physical strength and speed to a level beyond human. Xevran has also trained to "erase his presence" through the power of the force. It does not render him invisible, but others are far more likely to have their gaze pass over him in favor of other sights when he does so. He also will use mind tricks to avoid combat where necessary (though of course this only works on weak minds)
-Diplomatic calm: Xevran is always one to talk rather than fight. Even in combat, he prefers to nonlethally subdue his opponents or have them concede than injure them. This, combined with his mental discipline, leaves him with a calm and thoughtful demeanor even in the most troubling of circumstances. Rare indeed is the time where Xevran will lose his temper or show something remotely close to panic.
Weaknesses:
-Diplomatic endeavor: while Xevran's diplomatic tendencies are a strength, they also can be a weakness for opponents to take advantage of. Outside of ruthless sith, Xevran is of the belief anyone can do good in the galaxy, and it is not his place to judge someone worth of death. And so he will always move for a peaceful resolution if he believes such a thing to be in any way possible. This means a fight he should easily win could turn into a drawn-out slug fest due to his unwillingness to end it concisely.
-Bestial appearance: while Xevran is always polite and wears the trademark robes of the jedi, there is no hiding his more animalistic features from close viewers. This tends to make any social interaction harder than it should be.
-Overly polite: Xevran always refers to himself in the third person, and refers to others as "thou" which can make conversation with him awkward. Once again, this makes social interaction harder than it should be.
Personality: Xevran is the sort of person who would fight with an opponent, watch them fall into a pit, dive after them, and take serious injury in the process to save any opponent (who may indeed have been trying to kill him seconds before) He is of the firm opinion that everyone in the galaxy has a chance to do good, if only they would realize it. This kind nature conflicts with the warrior society ingrained into his species, and he finds his jedi training conflicting within him more times than he cares to admit. As if to combat this, he almost tried too hard to be social and diplomatic as opposed to a warrior. He refers to himself as "this one" perpetually, and always refers to others respectfully as "thou" or similar.
