CURO KAAL
FULL NAME: Curo Kaal
AGE: ---
SPECIES: Togruta

HEIGHT: 6'4"
WEIGHT: Average

EYE COLOR: Blue
SKIN COLOR: Red-Orange
MARKINGS: White and Blue

FACTION: Jedi Order
RANK: Jedi Knight

A tall physically fit specimen of a Togruta, Curo possesses two rather short thick monrails with four long head tails which are kept banded by multiple brown leather straps when engaging in battle and allowed to lay freely when not. With a red-orange skin tone, the Jedi is marked with white chevron like markings across his body including his greenish blue hollow monrails which serve to give him an enhanced level of spatial awareness over many other sentient beings.

He is usually seen wearing either brown or black sleeveless tunics made of various types of leather depending upon what he's been given the opportunity to acquire. Seldom choosing to wear a full robe, when he does it's usually of a darker brown coloration with extremely loose fitting sleeves which allow for more flowing, unhindered movements and easy access to his utility belt where he keeps his double bladed lightsaber most of the time. On his forearms he wears a pair of banded phrik bracelets, extending from mid-forearm down to his wrist, a precaution which he takes on the off chance that is the unfortunate victim of a saber clash gone awry.

PERSONALITY
[fancybox2]

Valuing duty to the Order and his comrades above all else, Curo is best summed up by the word 'Dependable'. If he is given a task, one can safely assume that short of his demise, said task will be accomplished and done so in a manner that provides the greatest long term benefit to the Jedi Knights with whom he serves. With such a sense of commitment the young Togruta carries a large amount of weight upon his rather strong shoulders, finding difficulty in relaxing and can at times be seen as something of a pessimist, holding the belief that every situation should be taken as seriously as possible and that here should be little chance left in things which at times, can make him seem a bit short if not a bit rude.

Of course, in spite of his sense of duty and belief that things go go awry at given moment, Curo, having successfully come out of number of 'dangerous' situations multiple times throughout his young career as a Jedi Knight has, unbeknownst to him developed a hint of overconfidence in himself and his abilities. Believing that his methods are the best and most practical in nearly every scenario, he can find himself falling victim to pride, failing to consider the ideas of others and often finding it difficult to carry out orders which he personally feels do not meet his expectations, though it's not to say he is incapable of doing so which seldom proves to be the case given his very real desire to not be ousted from the order which he holds very dear to his heart.

Combined with is tendency toward overconfidence, in spite of his master's instruction, Curo can tend to come across as 'aggressive' in situations where it could be considered unsuitable. While unintentional, he tends to fall victim to the idea of overkill and will often use overwhelming force in situations where it may not be entirely necessary which does tend to make him come across as a bit excessive at times.

BIOGRAPHY

Born like many of his kind on the planet Shili to two parents of whom he has very little recollection of. Though he was well cared for and given all of the care which could be afforded to him, Curo's life as he in the present day knows it began when he was discovered by a member of the Jedi Order and transferred to the planet Tython to begin his training as a member of the Jedi Order and away from the more primitive life that would have otherwise awaited him.

While perhaps not the most exceptional of younglings, Kaal displayed a level of tenacity which surpassed many of his peers and proved to be his outlying factor which gained him some level of notoriety. Striving to push himself and driven by compulsion to impress his masters, Curo would seldom ever allow a chance to prove himself slip from his grasp, a trait which would serve to draw the attention of another of his species that had become a Jedi long before him, Shona Le, which would ultimately serve him well, lending to him an understanding of his people that may have otherwise been lost.

With an understanding of her people and their ancestry, Shona would impart to a young Curo all that he could be, not only as a Jedi but as a member of the Togruta species. Training the boy first as a Jedi and then imparting parts of his heritage which would mesh with it as it had for her, his training heavily revolved around first understanding the basics and then going beyond them, the once predatory nature of their shared ancestry would be incorporated in his instruction.

Juyo. A potentialy dangerous style of lightsaber combat which could lead the unwary down the path of the Dark Side. A form which Shona believed could be wielded with all of the ferocity that was required to do it justice while at the same time carrying none of the malevolence. In his master's mind, the simple act of aggression when carried out with no hatred was just as capable a tool of the light as any other and it was the form which most of his training would revolve around understanding in regards to combat. It was through an understanding of the aggression of this form that the Togruta would learn caution regarding the temptation of the dark side and how to resist it.

With his master's eventual demise due to her advanced age, Curo would find himself joining the ranks of the Jedi Knights and given opportunities to put into action what he had been educated in. A chance to continue to uphold his master's belief that he could be a powerful tool of the Jedi Order, to strike at those who would twist the force and to uphold peace. Walking a path of purpose which had been handed down to him, the Togrutan warrior seeks to further the Order's cause while preserving the ideals imparted to him by deceased teacher.



COMBAT
As a warrior Curo primarily makes use of natural physique to bring his opponents down swiftly and decisively. Carrying with him a certain amount of natural grace and swiftness coupled with an above average amount of strength, he is an extremely predatory in combat. Choosing to overwhelm opponents with his rapid strikes and a constantly varying style of Lightsaber combat, his weapon much like his style can change to suit his needs to score a decisive blow as swiftly as possible. While preferring to wield his blade as a single weapon, his double bladed saber can be taken apart at the middle and break down into two separate weapons which he can make use of when the situation suits him.

While certainly a physical fighter, he is no slouch in regards to making use of the force to enhance his abilities or to make use of telekinesis. While certainly not a specialist in this area, the Togruta is trained to make use of the force in variety of ways and is as capable as any other Knight of the Order, though he is notably well versed in using the force to increase his senses (which are already particularly finely attuned thanks to his montrals) rendering him a remarkably difficult adversary to surprise and compensating somewhat for his rather offensively focused Juyo lightsaber form.

While a dangerous opponent, Curo is most certainly more of a sprinter than a marathon runner, preferring to fight in fast paced bursts leading to a decisive victory over continuously attacking and allowing a battle to be too drawn out. While not exactly lacking stamina, he is prone to overexerting himself in combat and wearing himself out in certain situation pending his ability to find time to recover.
