Here's take-two:

Name: D'Jareth the Vengeant

CatharJediMale.jpg

Faction:
Rank:
Race: Schenor
Home Planet: Rhamsis Callo
Age: 37
Height: 2.7 m
Weight: 186.9 kg
Eye Color: Red
Skin Color: Goldenrod
Hair Color: Snow White
Distinguishing Marks: Crescent Moon-Shaped Scar beside his right eye, Three Claw Scar on his left pectoral from a Wookiee Madclaw
Force Sensitive: Yes

Description: D'Jareth is a staggering example of the schenor people. His body is sheer muscle, almost like a professional bodybuilder's. However, this muscle isn't simply for show. His body has immense strength, even by schenor standards. His hair is thick on his back and on his tail, with his mane being wild and unkept. His very image is known to shake even the most seasoned veterans and cause lesser men to flee in terror. His face is that of a lion's.

Strength: As strong as a large wookiee
Dexterity: Agile as a lion
Constitution: Brick House
Intelligence: Combat Intellect, not Book-Smart
Wisdom: Not Naiive, but not used to being lied to
Charisma: Not a big negotiator. However, he's a big cat. Awww, ain't he cute and cuddly? Watch out for the teeth... And the claws... and the weapons...
Force Powers: Telekinesis, Force Roar (variation of Force Scream)

Talents: D'Jareth is an expert in warfare tactics, both from his people and his adopted brothers, the Wookiees. He is also an adept unarmed fighter, though more of a grappler than a brawler. He also speaks Basic, Shyriiwook, and Cathar besides his people's language.

Weapon Style: Wookiee Cleaver Style of Swordfighting: This style is comparable to a Jedi lightsaber form, though often it is more akin to a Dark Jedi's's style of combat. The style appears to be a wookiee hybrid between Juyo and Shien/Djem So using the weilder's size and strength as their greatest advantage. Many variants exist, including a twin blade style and a dual-edged style, but D'Jareth preferred to learn the two-handed style, to take the greatest advantage of his impressive stature and strength.

Strengths and Weaknesses: D'Jareth is a physical, mental, and social marvel, but he is slightly savage and minorly feral, though he will never resort to a tooth and nail combat style.

Gear:

Gold/Bronze Lightsaber with no amplification crystals: He found the lightsaber in the Shadowlands of Kashyyyk, though it no longer functioned. He disassembled it, and upon reassembly, he discovered the blade was thicker than a normal lightsaber's. He had seen the Jedi before, and their blades seemed pathetic compared to this blade.

Wookiee Cleaver: This weapon is made from a material few have seen before. The weapon is heavy even for the strongest of men, but for wookiees or D'Jareth, this is a hefty and efficient cleaver for combat. This one is adorned with tribal lanyards, feathers of exotic birds, bone beads, and the tooth of a katarn of whom the chieftan and D'Jareth killed together.

Ship: Makeshift “ugly-fied” Defender-Class Corvette (appx the size of a large starfighter, due to improvised repairs necessary after the crash)

Backstory:

Born on the home planet of the schenor, D'Jareth was a warrior from birth. He was the youngest of three brothers and son of the chieftan. At a young age, he was top of his class in hand-to-hand combat, even besting his father on several occasions. Becoming an adept in his people's style of combat, he soon had the opportunity of a lifetime. When he was a young teen a Jedi master named Bondar arrived on the planet, and wanted to see the top fighters of the schenor people. D'Jareth and his brothers were the apex of the pride. He soon bested his brothers in combat, and even showed Master Bondar his aptitude in the Force. He was soon traveling across the star system to be trained formally as a Jedi.
However, fate had different plans. A freak comet shower struck the ship, causing it to crash-land on the planet of Kashyyyk. His to-be master died in the wreck, but D'Jareth survived. Finding himself in the Shadowlands, he was alone, cold, and in pain. He soon met Rhonden, the wookiee chieftan's son. Being escorted to the treetop homes of the wookiees, D'Jareth was treated for his wounds. All but the scar on his face, his wounds were healed. He soon asked the eldest wookiee to train him in their mysterious weapon style.
Ten years had passed since the fateful crash and he mastered the style of his adopted people. However, a young warrior ran off into the Shadowlands to escape murder. D'Jareth went after the murderer, but upon finding him a week later, the wookiee went fully feral. Clawing and biting at him, the feral wookiee attempted to kill D'Jareth. However, he roared as he had seen his father do in his youth, to his surprise, the wild wookiee was thrown back a fair distance. The wook however was not deterred by the roar. He soon was charged by the wild wookiee and clawed in the chest. However, D'Jareth struck the wook down with a single chop of his sword.
He soon arrived back at his adoptive home and was granted a great honor: a hunt of a lifetime against a katarn. He and the chieftan soon set off. With luck and skill, the two faced the beast head on. Having taken an hour and a half in the duel with the beast, D'Jareth struck the fatal blow against the beast. He also found a broken lightsaber in the nest of the beast and took it for himself. He was given the tooth of the beast as a trophy of his kill. He arrived at his adopted home, but felt a need to train as a force user. He returned to the site of the crash, and used the remnants of his to-be master's lightsaber to complete his own. Upon completion, his blade was a much wider and thicker version of his to-be master's blade. Finding a crystal blessed by the village elder, he inserted it, discovering that it was a perfect fit, and made his blade a gold/bronze color.
He soon repaired his ship and left Kashyyyk, and headed off into space to find an order of jedi who would accept him as a pupil...

I doubt a Terentatek would be on Kasshyyk anyways seeing as they feed on Force-Sensitives on Wookiees produce a low number of them.

Does anyone have another way to discover his lightsaber and have a tooth of a jungle beast on his sword?

And I know there was at least a small colony of them deeper into the Shadowlands, since many centuries later, Bacca and Revan faced one. Plus, do not discount force-sensitive non-sentient species

You could always go with a Katarn. From what I remember, they were the alpha-predators of the Shadowlands so fighting one would definitely be tough. You would also be able to take a tooth as a trophy. In fact I believe some Wookiees used the hunting of a Katarn as a 'coming of age' sort of task.

This is so much better. Really. The only things I see are that his stats make him seem a little overskilled (strong as a Wookiee, agile as a tiger, constitution of a wall, "genius", etc). Toning down wisdom and charisma would be a good idea - "not Yoda level" is really not a description at all, especially considering Yoda was probably one of (if not the) wisest Jedi of all time, and I don't think he'd really be very charismatic with a childhood spent hunting and such.

You still need to phase out all mention of Sith (I saw one in the weapon style section), because it's not a term that's interchangeable with Dark Jedi.

It's grammatically sound as well. The only things I'm consistently noticing are that you can't decide whether or not to capitalize Wookiee and Kashyyyk has three y's (I know, it's a terrible and confusing name). You're really a very good writer, and your description of him was top notch. The cleaver is an interesting weapon as well.

Oh, I don't think you can start with a ship the size of a corvette (they're classified as capital ships, although on the very low part of the spectrum) either, but that's it.

Nice profile. Hope to see you around SWRP.

I edited the stats. He's kind of wise, and not a negotiator, but he's also a big cat, so the "cute and cuddly" factor needs to be taken into the equation.

Fixed the Sith-usage. I've always used Sith as a synonym for the Dark Jedi/Darksider term, since the organization of the Sith is technically all just Dark Jedi with limited ties to the Sith of old.

Also fixed the gramatical errors.

Finally, I dropped the size to that of a large starfighter, since he had to repair the ship

Well in this timeline the Sith race have yet to be discovered which is why the term is not used. In the end its just to clarify that the Lords of the Sith have yet to exist and they are simply Dark Jedi.
