Physical ability: Eric is about as strong as a regular human, with downright extreme reflexes, and due to species is unnaturally flexible.

Mental/Force ability: As a Vahla, Eric has an innate connection to the force, the darkside in particular. Focusing on the combative uses of the force, Eric is skilled mostly in force augmentation, using it to extend his combative longevity and speed. He is however also adept with force pushes and pulls though he uses them sparingly and bluntly. Eric doesn't put much thought behind his strategies, instead treating large fights as a complicated game of rock paper scissors and relying mostly on instinct in one on one engagements.

Dueling ability: Eric has mastered Soresu, while not to the level of Master Kenobi. Eric has also trained in and is adept in Ataru, switching to it the moment his enemy shows sign of tire. Due to the rigors of the Clone Wars he has learned to incorporate blast deflection into his technique, allowing him to defend against the droid forces he has had to fight far to often.

Other skills: Eric is a negotiator, often attempting to speak with those he fights mid battle in an attempt to either end the conflict or at least present an opening for Eric to exploit. He finds that he has some skill with desiccating his opponent's weaknesses and fears and capitalizing on them.

Brief Backstory: Born a Vahla, Eric would have never been found by the Jedi had his parents not made a bad call. They were pirates, and attempted a boarding action on a small freighter. What they didn't expect to find was the Jedi master Qui-gon Jin. The pirates killed Eric was found in a small closet aboard the pirate ship. The Jedi master could sense the potential of the infant, and brought the boy to the Jedi Temple to be raised there. Eric was brought up with no knowledge of his parents, and very little knowledge of his race. Instead he was brought up on the traditions of the Jedi, Eric becoming enraptured with the idea of protecting the entire galaxy.

When he was fourteen he became apprenticed to Coleman Trebor, a famous diplomat among the order and the galaxy at large. Under the training of the Vurk Jedi Eric became skilled with wordplay, though the Vahla made sure to keep up his combative skills with his master. Eric followed his master to Geonosis and watched as the Clone Wars began, watched while he master was gunned down by Jango Fett, and despite it all, survived. Because of this he was knighted and soon joined the fray against the Separatist, acting as a diplomat whenever possible however.
