Muscles dense with training but lean from a proper diet. His dark eyes and likewise dark hair contrast against his pale skin. He stands at an above average height of five-feet-ten-inches and with his build he makes a daunting figure. Due to Order 66 and the current situation the Jedi have been forced into; he carries terrible but stable burns on his left side. [center][hider=Lightsaber][img]https://i.imgur.com/75ywzzA.jpg[/img] Ahsurah's lightsaber has a dual-phase function and carries a blue blade with a feral ignition.[/hider][/center] [color=gray][b]Skills |[/b][/color] [list][*] Form V practitioner and Form IV adept. Due to his youth he prided himself on being capable of using the Force. Towards Order 66 he was learning that he was lacking in practical combat strength and decided to study Form V. [*] He once prided himself on being diplomatic. Unfortunately, his recent scars has shattered that pride. [*] Nature was always apart of Ahsurah's core upbringing. He was drawn to the outside and the sky, and the wind, and animals. He become quite intuitive, even without the Force's assistance. [*] An adept at hand-to-hand, he wields an rare martial form that focuses on subduing and redirecting one's physical onslaught. [*] A competent pilot. He can drive most transportation without trouble. [/list] [color=gray][b]Force Abilities |[/b][/color] [list][*] Basic Jedi abilities came quickly to Ahsurah, a natural at controlling the Force and its mysteries. Manipulation of objects, enhancement of physical abilities are near Jedi Knight levels, though he's technically a Padawan. [*] Ahsurah was widely known for picking random abilities or tricks that tickled his fancy. Psychometry was one them. This allowed him to gleam traces of information from objects. [*] Force Empathy was an intentional ability learned but one he had an intense connection with. With this skill he sought to understand himself and those around him better. [*] In consequence, during a frustrating session with his Force Empathy, Ahsurah forced himself onto a well-guarded volunteer; learning Mind Probe in the process. [*] Precognition/Battle Precognition was a technique recommended to him by Master Yoda due to his hesitation during combat. He had to work hard in order to make the ability useful but got it down within the spend of two years. He is still mostly a practitioner but is delving into the realm of Adept. [/list] [color=gray][b]Weaknesses:[/b][/color][list] [*] A fear of death has curdled his current standing in outstanding or outlandish combat. Any opponent(s) he feels could best him; he prefers the option of running away. [*] Due to his injuries, Ahsurah has a stifling amount of conflict within him. He has pride in being a Jedi but his failures contest his confidence at every chance. He once studied the art of diplomacy but has since given up on it due to his disfigurement. Some might call this survivor's guilt. [*] Ahsurah takes to lightsaber combat naturally, however, he leans too much on the Force hoping to use what makes him 'Unique' to overcome all obstacles. He has yet to steady and balance his mind. His pride, mixed with his fear, has created a man who leans into logic and circumstance far too much. [/list] [color=gray][b]Character History:[/b][/color] At the age of three, Ahsurah was taken from Alderaan to the Jedi Grand Temple on Coruscant by a Jedi Seeker. Somewhat of a quiet child, really just a natural observer, Ahsurah went through his Jedi tutelage largely nominal. He didn't show exceptional skill in any one area for several years; however, Master Yoda often peered into him with a knowing smirk. Though annoyed at Ahsurah's lack of duty, if one could say that of the Grand Master, Yoda, when it permitted would defend the airy boy against other 'more worried' Jedi Knights and Masters. At the age of seven, Ahsurah was permitted to take the Initiate Trials. By this time, Yoda's solitary belief in him and quiet confidence had given him some drive. This showed his affinity with nature and subsequently the flow of the Living Force. He often spoke of 'Ghosts' visiting him and departing life-knowledge to him; which kept him just above water when it came to the rigid expectations of the Jedi Temple. The Initiate Trials or Jedi Tournaments as the Younglings called them were exemplary. They were tougher than he had ever imagined they'd be but squeezed through on sheer force of will believe it or not. He hadn't been clever or lucky but had pushed through and survived. Ahsurah wouldn't become a Padawan for another four years. By this time he had begun taking his training more seriously; he was thankful for Yoda's patience with him and felt exceptionally close to the Grand Master. Whether the feelings were likewise would never be known. Eventually a goofy Jedi Knight named [url=https://i.pinimg.com/564x/40/e4/ce/40e4ce0ea071d18e422844191e6f1dad.jpg]Cado Fadi[/url] chose him as her Padawan. The two clicked on a weird, preternatural level. They bounced off each other more like mother and son, than teacher and student. They went on many excursions. Cado Fadi, a native of Naboo use to promote the importance of the Jedi Diplomats; especially when Ahsurah would start idolizing the heroes, Anakin and Obi-Wan, who quelled many wars on the battlefront in his later years. But steadfast in her thinking, Cado would often say that the Diplomats were even more important than the war heroes. Eventually, Ahsurah would start believing it. Though they often had to quell skirmishes with more bloodshed; typically they were capable of stopping wars before they even started which was pretty awesome in Ahsurah's opinion. However, on his seventeenth year of life, Cado Fadi lost her arm stopping a growing war on a primitive planet. He flew her back to the Grand Jedi Temple on Coruscant to save her the next day... [color=gray][b]Order 66:[/b][/color] Weeks had past since their arrival on Coruscant and Cado Fadi, been fitted with a new arm, had refused to regain consciousness. Ahsurah visited her for hours on end, talking to her, and hoping his presence would wake her though that was just a pipe dream. On the night of Order 66, Ahsurah had been visiting Cado; whom rested peaceful on a linen-laid bed. He read to her from his journal, now nearing their adventure on the ocean-world of Seakass. When alarms rang and the attack commence, Ahsurah was panic with fear. So he hid in her medical room. When Anakin Skywalker, accompanied by Clones stepped inside; Ahsurah made the mistake of believing him to be a Jedi still. He slid out from beneath Cadi's bed and spoke hurriedly. The typical questions were met with silence by the Clones and Anakin only strode forwards. The Force warned Ahsurah of the danger and before Anakin could down his unconscious Master, whose mind had begun to light up with small stars, he bared the frightening weight of the former Hero's lightsaber with his own. It buckled his knees and sent him sprawling to the ground. Without a breath passing, Anakin's blade was driving towards his heart. Master Cadi must've awoke then; her yellow lightsaber in hand while she fended off, Anakin's onslaught. She held her own for a moment, though Anakin had been holding Ahsurah to the ground the entire time with overwhelming Force power. She managed to keep him and the Clone's blaster bolts from piercing them but when Anakin slid back and the Clones through thermal detonators in the room; everything became a blur. When he returned from his short descent into darkness, his left side was horribly burned and Cadi, injured and bloodied, was again defending them from Anakin. The room was blackened by the explosion and the outer wall had been blown out, thick stone crumbling and stabbing his palms. Fear-gripped admittedly, when he should had been assisting his Master, Ahsurah was frozen. When all seemed lost and Anakin had stabbed through Cadi's retreating form, she pulled back and Force Pushed Ahsurah through the wall. His body slammed against the too small exit and push him through open air. It was luck that he survived. No force of will this time. He had fell onto a ledge and Cadi's sacrifice and words to 'Survive!' had momentarily cleared his fear; that and finally being from under Anakin's suffocating presence. He managed to scurry away and find transport into deep space; brimming with tears, crippled with pain, and sullied by failure, Ahsurah fell into a deep, much-needed, sleep.[/hider]
