BIOGRAPHY
Vixur was born on the city-planet Nar Shadda in 6923 BBY. The young Clawdite didn’t exactly have a conventional childhood for a future Jedi. His father vanished shortly after he was born, and his Clawdite mother, Callion, worked any job she could to support the pair, and as soon as he was old enough to walk, the young Clawdite was working as well. The young shapeshifter couldn’t nearly fill as many roles as his mother, as he was far from mastering his genetic abilities to change his appearance, but he could still fill the role of an entertainer, changing his hair and skin color to the amazement of mostly drunk audiences.
While he was away from the over-opulent homes of the gangster nobility, Vixur ran with one of the many minor gangs that filled then underbelly, mostly to relieve some of the isolation that comes with desperately working to survive. However, no matter how much trouble the young Clawdite landed in, whether it was spice or debts or simply bad luck, Vixur’s mother always seemed to be there, arriving at precisely the right moment with a perfect solution. Soon after, the problem would rapidly disappear.
One day, however, the problem did not disappear, and there was no magical savior. Wounded and suffering, the nine-year-old Vixur limped back to his hovel, not knowing what to do currently other than hiding from the Hutt that his friend had annoyed. What he found when he arrived, however, would change his life forever.
The home was, despite its small size, neat as it always had been, with little clutter and trash to limit the already tiny interior. However, this time, there was something amiss. One of the shakily-built cabinets that rested against the north wall was slightly tilted, and light poured out of the crack. Understandably curious, the young Vixur slipped through the crack, and then stopped short. It was not a room, more a long hallway, and within was more weapons then he had ever seen. Knives, long blasters, needles filled with various substances. At one end of the corridor lay a bank of computers, and at the other lay a concealed exit.
For years it seemed, the seemingly innocent Callion had moonlighted as an assassin, and quite an effective one it seemed. Her codename “The Shadow” was known and feared through the entire city sector, and the sudden truth nearly caused Vixur to faint, implications swirling through his head.
The young Clawdite waited for days in their home, but his mother never returned, likely having fallen prey to one of the Smuggler Moon’s many dangers. Heartbroken, Vixur was forced out into the world truly, unprotected and unguarded. The Clawdite tried to avoid becoming like his mother, but there simply weren't many opportunities to do so as a street kid, and so he was inevitably forced into surveillance and spying roles, much to his quiet disgust
When the Clawdite reached thirteen years of age, he was contracted as an informant, tasked to follow some visitors to the planet around, and report on their activities. At first everything seemed normal, Vixur changed from persona to personal, tracking the cloaked pair through the twists and turns of the underbelly. That was, until, they turned on him, effortlessly seeing through his disguise and calling him out, asking to talk. As it turned out, the two men were recruiters, seeking prospective force-users for the war against the Exiles. Their offer…intrigued him more than he thought, and the fact that they didn’t seem to care about his parentage, instead focusing on what HE had done. Despite his history as a child spy, the knights were willing to give him a chance.
The somewhat eager Jedi apprentice fought against the Exiles for years, and although the former Spy struggled with the dark side for most of the conflict, he managed to hold on to the light he had just so recently discovered. With the war now over, Vixur stands a Knight of the Order, and a Jedi Shadow at that, ready to defend his chosen family.
PERSONALITY
Vixur Kantale is a silent being at heart, preferring to let others do the talking for him rather than open a discussion himself. He is not so much antisocial as he is centered and calculating always watching those around him for signs of turning as he had seen so many companions do so in the past. Despite the reputation of Clawdites as turncoats and violence enthusiasts, Vixur honestly wishes for galactic peace and harmony, not wishing for any child to be put in the same shoes he had worn for so many years, simply due to the selfish desires of a few black sheep. As for the Exiles themselves, Vixur’s common response can be labeled as harsh. Due to a combination of disgust and his trained instincts as a Shadow, the former spy with ruthlessly hunt down any darksider he comes into contact with, believing them to be nothing but self-indulgent warlords and criminals. Honestly, the galaxy would be a lot brighter without them.
POWERS AND ABILITIES
- Force Abilities: Despite his heavier focus on the lightsaber side of combat, Vixur is still reasonably proficient with his force abilities, though his strength and dexterity with such powers leaves a lot to be desired
- Telekinesis: One of the Knight's more developed areas of skill, Vixur is able to generate Force pushes and pulls of decent strength, as well as the ability to straight-up lift objects into the air for distractions or attacks. It is important to note however that this takes a decent amount of concentration, and there is a limit to how much he can manipulate
- Energy Manipulation: Vixur's skills in this area are also developed, although not nearly to the degree of a Consular. He is able to create weak, limited Force shields to guard himself or others against explosions or other such dangers, as well as the ability to use Force Flash to get an edge on an unwary foe.
- Mental Manipulation: Vixur has put a slightly bigger focus on this field of the force, in order to complement his natural abilities. The Knight is quite proficient with the basic mind trick, as well as acquiring the ability to shield himself from the observations of other force-wielders. However, this can be penetrated by an enemy of sufficient power
- Lightsaber Combat: As a Jedi Shadow, Vixur has put FAR more time and effort into developing his lightsaber abilities, and is actually quite dangerous when pitted against an opponent expecting a run-of-the-mill knight. The backbone of his style is the newly formed Niman discipline, specifically the Jar'Kai variant, though elements of Ataru and Soresu are present as well. These disciplines give Vixur the training to be quite skilled with the use of dual sabers, although he is still proficient with a single blade if it comes down to it.
- Languages: Due to his childhood circumstances, Vixur is fluent in Basic and Huttese and can somewhat understand Bocce, although he cannot speak it very well.
EQUIPMENT
As a Jedi Shadow that frequently travels offworld, Vixur prefers to be as flexible in the equipment he carries. The staples of his gear include his two, blue-bladed lightsabers, a standard comlink and holoprojector, as well as a CSR-2A Blaster Pistol for those times a lightsaber would be too conspicious. For water missions, he carries a basic Jedi rebreather.
Vixur owns a standard, TF-972 "Mako" Light Freighter for travel between star systems.
