PERSONALITY

Perhaps the most striking aspect of Anæus's personality is one that is only expressed when in the presence of one of two men in the entire galaxy. He displays total obedience to his father, a man he was trained since childhood to defer to in all things. In his youth, he was rather meek and mild. He held almost no interest in anything in life, and he lived only to heed his father's word.

Essentially, he was without a will of his own. This changed, however, when he was sent to be trained by Gavin Selanno. Selanno himself was a far less commanding man than Anæus's father, and he made the young boy know it. In their day-to-day interactions, Selanno was surprisingly amicable and cheery, which was rather odd, given that then man lived in a cave. Nevertheless, this amicability was removed and replaced with an air of stolidness when Anæus would train. These qualities, in addition to an almost natural charisma, developed in the young Exile, replacing the almost robotic temperament of his somewhat more youthful days. He grew more independent, in accordance with the lessons his mentor taught to him. He was, in short, a changed man from what he was over a decade prior.


ABILITIES

Telekinesis (Force Disarm, Pull, Push, Slam, Levitate, Force Choke): Anæus is capable of utilizing a variety of telekinetic abilities. When in combat, he attempts to disarm his enemies and keep them at a distance, all the while swiping with his lightsaber.

Force Shock: If given enough concentration, Anæus can summon forth quick sparks of energy by manifesting the Force around him. He can even direct the flow of the energy to specific portions of his body. He often uses his hands and/or individual fingers to act as conduits of that energy.


BACKGROUND

As Anæus's father would tell it, Vargam family history began with the youth's grand-father. Born Aramis Brætanus, he was one of a line of Force wielders of over ten generations. Despite asking after not only those previous generations but also his grand-father's time with the Jedi, Anæus's father was unwilling to discuss either further and demanded the child keep silent on the subject. Such was what happened from that day until the present, thus leaving Anæus ignorant of the majority of his family history. Still, his father did expound upon Aramis and his eventual expulsion from the Order, which centered on the murder of a Jedi and how he was supposedly framed for it. Being the obedient child that he was, Anæus chose not to question what was said and instead believed it.

As the boy grew older, Anæus's father progressively revealed more of Aramis's story. After his banishment from the order, he took what little he had and gained passage to Bortras, an up-and-coming planet dedicated primarily to agriculture, with some industry dispersed throughout. Finding that manufacturing would be a more profitable career, he went to work for a company dedicated to the creation of machines and tools meant to foster greater agricultural output. He began as a mere factory floor worker, but as the years went on, he persevered and eventually went on to become the sole owner of the factory. The position was a comfortable one, and, for over two decades afterward, he and his family (Anæus's father included) lived a contented life. Until a Jedi happened by.

When Anæus's father was still fairly young, little more than a toddler, the Vargam family was met with tragedy when an assassin arrived in the dead of night and murdered Aramis. What became of the assailant was unknown, save that he escaped. With this information in mind, Anaeus's father set about instilling within his child a hatred and mistrust for the Jedi for the wrongs they committed against the Vargams. This hatred was honed into a desire for revenge.

With Anæus's mind set on avenging Aramis, his father took the liberty of transferring him from Bortras to the East, to the tropical planet of Kowak. There, hidden among the trees and ferns, was a cave where an Exile of the Order known as Gavin Selanno was located. The man originally trained in the Jedi Academy of Tython along such students as Kei Serrano and Aramis himself, but due to ideological conflicts, Serrano was expelled. Not wanting to be found, he traveled all the way to the Outer Rim to escape the clutches of the Jedi and live in seclusion. Due to a reference in Anæus's grand-father's correspondence, however, Selanno was able to be found, albeit not readily so. In short, Anæus was transported to Kowak and remained there for fifteen years training extensively in the ways of the Force and regular combat, all the while anticipating his momumental task of murdering every last Jedi in the galaxy.

Now older and somewhat wiser than he once was, Anæus ultimately desires to fulfill his mission and, it is hoped, gain an understanding of his grand-father and all those who came before.

ATTRIBUTES & SKILLS

STRENGTH: Average. Is capable of throwing a punch, but he received no formal training in boxing.

DEXTERITY: Above-average. Is capable of dodging certain attacks and aiming his hits more precisely.

STAMINA: Good. Is capable of running and/or walking for extended periods without growing tired, in addition going several days without sleep. Despite this, he avoids engaging in the latter due to the risk of harming his health.

INTELLIGENCE: Great. Is capable of assessing situations and determining the best course of action as well as understanding knowledge imparted to him.

WISDOM: Below-Average. Being still quite young, Anæus has little in the way of wisdom or life-experience, but he's still capable.

CHARISMA: Good. Despite having limited interaction with his mentor and the other inhabitants of the man's village, Anæus has developed a natural charisma when with others.

WILLPOWER: Great. Is capable of resisting most Force-related coercion techniques used by other Apprentices.

INFILTRATION: Average. Oftentimes, Anæus has no need to infiltrate a building or particular organization. He typically waits for his target to be either alone or separated from a group.

HAND-TO-HAND: Average. Was given basic training under his mentor, but maintained greater focus on lightsaber usage.

BLASTERS: Above-average. In keeping with his role as an assassin, Anæus was given training in blasters; however, they will not be his modus operandi.

Lightsaber Forms:

Form I, Shii-Cho: Trained; primarily learnt to gain an understanding of the basics of lightsaber wielding.
Form II, Makashi: Expert; employed when in one on one situations with enemies alongside Form IV
Form III, Soresu: Trained; done so as to be able to block blaster fire.
Form IV, Ataru: Adept; employed whilst facing difficult, if somewhat slow, enemies
Form V, Shien, Djem So: Trained
Form VI, Niman: Adept; done so as to be able to better use his Force abilities in combat
Form VII, Juyo: Trained


EQUIPMENT

On his person, Anæus typically carries a single lightsaber with which to do battle against enemies. It is fairly sleek in form, and it possesses a gentle curve that bends away from his arm. The "pommel" and crossguard are golden in color, with there also existing a thin golden band set in the midst of the grip. The grip is permanently set into the hilt via ridge meant to provide a surer grasp and prevent the saber from flying out and away mid-swing. The remainder is composed of the common metallic alloy durasteel. The crossguard itself travels upwards along the side set closest to the wielder's arm, which is more aesthetic than pragmatic in terms of choice. The "blade" of the weapon is red in color as a result of the corrupting influences of the Dark Side upon. Lastly, the saber itself is housed in a scabbard, of sorts, set to his right side, as he prefers fighting with his left hand.

At the moment, Anæus is merely clothed in a single outfit predominantly made of silk and high-quality wool. It is this outfit that he is likely to wear for extended periods whilst hunting for Jedi. Nevertheless, he enjoys wearing sumptuous clothes if the weather permits, with silk being the preferred material. His favorite colors are what some would consider typical of the later Sith, in that he enjoys reds, black, and grey most of all, but any dark colors are fair game. In addition, he wears boots predominantly, but regular shoes are welcome.

For interplanetary travel, he has no starship to employ for his own personal use. This was the result of his father's influence, as he desires for his son to start from practically nothing to begin his quest. After all, why make it easy?

Amount of not needing sleep could use some clarification; while possible, it would have an effect on an individual.

True. Do you think I should make a note that he attempts to not engage in such behavior (i.e. sleeplessness) often due to the health risks involved?
