What's your name?: Kess D'loar How old are you?: 19 Where do you come from? Boy or girl?: Arkania. Female. What do you look like?: Kess could be considered 'pretty' by some. Due to being Arkanian, she looks very human. She has short, wavy dark auburn hair, nearly-black eyes, and gently tanned skin. Kess isn't very tall, only five feet five inches without any shoes on. She has a gentle-featured face, and her small frame is on the slender and lithe side. Her innocent face and quiet voice can be good when questioning some, and good when appealing to others. Due to being Arkanian, Kess only has four digits on her hand instead of a human's five. However, she is just as good with her hands as any human, if not better than some. Kess wears a dark reddish tunic with faded black pants, and often wears a long-sleeved coat her parents sent her. Tell us about yourself: Kess, at first, seems to be a normal padawan. However, five minutes of watching her train will show her true colors. While training, all of her skittish, shy nature reveals itself. Her insecurity, fearfulness, and jumpiness held her back quite a bit in her training, taking patience to overcome. She is still very jumpy, but she's undoubtedly fast, with almost animalistic reflexes and a smooth, almost gentle way of combat that's pleasant to watch. In spite of her skittish nature, Kess is not a bad person, being rather sweet at heart and very empathetic. Her connection with the Force is rather strong, a fast-paced, unpredictable life making her connection the only thing she could ever consider a constant. Due to a large part of her short life being so hectic, Kess is very adaptable to change, and actually has come to expect it, better or worse. In short, Kess is a skittish, yet adaptable person who's hectic life has finally started to slow down. What's your story?: Kess is the daughter of two successful Arkanian scientists, who were put together through an arranged marriage. However, they got along just fine, their love of science binding them together. They only had one child, Kess. From a very young age, Kess was used to constantly moving, and never staying in one place (or one planet). Sometimes, her parents weren't even together for up to weeks at a time, each working on different projects, and it varied who Kess stayed with. Her cool, almost emotionless Mother, or her passionate, joyous father. Kess was never mistreated or really forgotten, but she didn't get the socialization she should have had, and the (sometimes dangerous) assignments her parents had gave her a jumpy, skittish way of living. The unpredictable and endless questioning was Kess' way of life. However, when she was 6, her Force connection began to emerge. Her parents were very happy with this new discovery, and on their way to take their daughter to Corsucant, studied her Force abilities with tempered curiosity. The first part of Kess' training took a while, due to her shyness and perfectionist complex. Once these were overcome enough for her to train normally, she did rather well. Kess was originally going to be apprenticed to a different Jedi who had struggled with a perfectionist complex as well, but tragically, they were killed by space pirates while on a mission. Kess had never met her potential master, and was instead apprenticed to Jayce Darkfyre. Anything extra that you want to tell us?: Kess uses a single green lightsaber, but she also carries a sharpened boomerang with her as well.
