Recrus

NAME: Mir'ecru'sabosen
Core Name: Recrus
FACTION: Jedi
RANK: Initiate
SPECIES: Chiss
AGE: 25
GENDER: Male
FORCE SENSITIVE: Yes; Untrained


APPEARANCE: Recrus stands at 6 feet, 2 inches tall and weighs 220 pounds. A life time of military training has given him a muscular, agile build. His blue skin is relatively unmarred with the exception of a few scars that form a delicate web across the back of each hand. His crimson eyes are observant, rarely missing a detail, and set beneath brows often furrowed in contemplative study of some problem. He keeps his sable hair close cropped, in a slightly grown out military cut.

As a former military officer, Recrus carries himself with the posture and discipline instilled into him through years of training and service. However, while some would look at such discipline as tedious and exhausting, his posture and manners have a natural, relaxed grace to them. All of his movements seem refined, quiet, and purposeful.

ATTRIBUTES: Recrus is a capable leader with some combat experience. His knowledge of tactics and strategy is beyond what many expect of somebody his age, the hard won results of a lifetime of training and study. He is also a capable swordsman and melee combatant. His greatest talent has always been in planning and implementing tactics and strategy, be it on personal, squad, or ship level combat.

Perhaps his greatest strength is his intellect. Naturally studious and observant, the Chiss regularly engages in war games, simulations, or reenactment games of great battles. His favorite passions are chess and fencing. The former, due to it's relaxed approach to war, and the latter because it is “like chess at hyper speed.” Years of training has allowed him to process all information he has been given, make deductions that others might miss or overlook, and use them to often anticipate the actions of his enemies.

While a studious member of the military arts, there are numerous fields that Recrus isn't knowledgeable in. A lack of training in the fields of medicine and mechanics are his greatest weaknesses. Another is a complete disinterest in politics, and politicians. His unfamiliarity with the galaxy outside Chiss space is also a great cultural weakness. He is often guilty of often over thinking what his opponents will do, and assuming that they know as much as he does about any given situation.

Recrus's greatest “weakness” according to the Chiss is his unwillingness to tolerate threats, implied or direct. As an officer, any group that was deemed a significant threat was eliminated before they could damage Chiss interests. This attitude and willingness to perform preemptive strikes against likely threats, and his unwillingness to cease such actions, is what resulted in his exile from Chiss space.

Recrus is fluent in several languages including Basic, Cheunh, Sy Bisti, Binary, and Minnisiat.

PERSONALITY: Recrus is fiercely loyal, determined, and independent. Part of the reason why he studied strategy and tactics for so long is to best utilize the resources he has been allotted without having to request assistance. He sees doing so as weakness, which he considers a personal failure. Also, extra resources contributed to his assignments are resources taken from other assignments. During his work in the Chiss military, he was often placed in positions where reinforcements and additional resources wouldn't easily arrive, necessitating that he become proficient at knowing what he could do with what he had.

Due largely to the political machinations that has permeated even the Chiss military, Recrus was forced to develop keen observational abilities. Even now, he is capable of making impressively accurate observations about people based upon body language, how they move, how they might carry themselves, and how their facial muscles react during conversation and interactions with others. This skill was important to much of his work. He's also developed a keen memory, being capable of recalling details of a person, entire conversations, and contents of written works with almost perfect accuracy days, or even weeks, later.

Recrus is cunning and intelligent. Just gathering a few pieces of information pertaining to an individual or situation can lead to him making a decent estimation of what that person is planning or what outcomes are likely to come from the situation. This is due in part to his extensive education, time in the military, and innate force abilities.

Those that aren't his friends often consider Recrus to be a cold, merciless tactician, doing whatever he must to achieve his goals with no regard to the costs and sacrifice, or how he might damage reputations to do so. This isn't true. Recrus weighs every decision he makes prior to taking action. He considers his men as his family, and holds them all in high regard. He does his best to make sure that they attain the best results without anymore sacrifice than is necessary.

The Chiss warrior thoroughly enjoys reading, and possessed an extensive library prior to his exile. He has few trusted friends, regarding most people in terms of what they bring to the mission. His sense of humor is dry and cutting, often considered to be brutal teasing by those who don't know him. He enjoys the occasional test of skill and strength among friends and comrades, and encourages those in his care to develop bonds of trust and brotherhood.

BIOGRAPHY: Among the Chiss, it is said that a parent with gray hair has raised an exceptional child. It was often joked within the Sabosen family that Recrus's father gained his first gray hair the day his son was born. His father, Theus, trained his son in the military arts from a young age, hoping his child would become a military adoption. It was during his formative years that Recrus developed his passion for strategy, fencing, and games of war.

Recrus had suspicions of his abilities by the age of five. During the calm he experienced while playing games of strategy, or while fencing, he would experiences bursts of intuition, flashes of insight so powerful that he'd just assumed that they were instinct guiding him. During his training, he began to work on controlling his emotions, maintaining the calm state of mind that often brought forth these flashes of insight.

As soon as he came of age, Recrus enlisted in the CEDF. It was as a cadet that he began to exemplify himself as a calm, collected officer that looked at the bigger picture, weighing all details of an engagement and forming his strategy based upon them. However, during the war games between cadets, he developed a reputation of striking first, a tactic heavily frowned upon by Chiss military rules.

While this one tendency of his seemed to draw disfavor, his distinguished performance as a commander earned him praise from his instructors and superiors. When given his first unit to lead, he had the men drill until they could perform fighting actions second nature. He also rewarded his men for free thought, and encouraged them to present ideas if they had something better to propose than he did. While strict with discipline, he was a fair officer as well.

It was largely due to the performance he inspired in his men, and his skill as a tactician, that resulted in Recrus being given his own command. However, his tendency to react on threats as opposed to actions, resulted in him being assigned to the Expansionary Fleet as opposed to the Defense Fleet. In this way, he was kept away from high command, and any embarrassment he could bring to the Chiss hegemony.

For two years Recrus served with distinction, respected by his men and gaining increasing notoriety for his preemptive strikes against the bandits, pirates, and slavers that ventured into Chiss space. His flotilla gained a reputation for quickly eliminating any and all threats that they encountered. However, his willingness to strike first to eliminate potential threats earned him several disciplinary hearings. Finally, in part because the Chiss High Command had grown weary with the stubborn officer and in part because he adamantly refused to change his ways, he was exiled from Chiss space, abandoned to a planet at the edge of Chiss territory.

Having anticipated his own exile, Recrus developed a plan with his brother Mir'aili'sabosen, who saw merit in preemptive strikes, should he be exiled. During one of his skirmishes with a group of smugglers that refused to heed his orders to surrender, the officer had captured a freighter and the droids within it as a prize and gifted them to his younger sibling, who had established himself as a gifted politician.

It took two months from the time Recrus was exiled for Railis to find the information to enact a rescue. The freighter and droids were delivered to Recrus, along with a month of supplies. Recrus promised his brother that he would never return to Chiss space unless he was called for by family.

Recrus emerged into a galaxy in chaos. The order and discipline of the Chiss Ascendancy was nowhere to be found in the galaxy around him. Rather than immediately participate, he'd spent much time in the Outer Rim, listening to chatter, gathering what intelligence he could. He still considered himself a Chiss officer, sworn to protect the Ascendancy.

After several weeks of gathering information from cantinas, pubs, space ports, and his own droids, Recrus made his decision. Convinced that a galaxy unified under a victorious Sith would ultimately threaten the Chiss Ascendancy, he made his way to a Republic military base. It was here that his force sensitivity was discovered, and he was given the chance of joining the Jedi.

For the last five years, Recrus has trained, both on his own and with whatever partners or teachers he could find, to become a Jedi that will be of some use in preventing the rise of a Sith ruled galaxy. He still considers himself a Chiss officer, and considers all of his actions as working toward his ultimate goal of protecting the Chiss Ascendancy.

SKILLS: A skilled strategist, respectful commander, and ruthless tactician, Recrus is more than capable in the arts of a soldier and officer. As a pilot, he is capable, but not extraordinary. His skill with the blade is commendable, and his accuracy with a pistol is respectable.

Recrus is relatively untrained with the Force. What he can do is self-taught or done purely by accident. As such, through his own trials and training, Recrus has developed some skill with Precognition and Telepathy. In fact, part of his success as a strategist comes from his skill with these two abilities.

GEAR: The most prominent piece of gear that Recrus owns is his freighter. A standard Bantha-class freighter that was captured by the Chiss military when its previous owners wouldn't peacefully leave Chiss space. After his exile, this vessel has essentially become his home away from home.

Recrus wears the traditional brown robes of his order, modified with half length sleeves. Underneath them, he wears standard issue armor used by countless republic soldiers. About his person is a Chiss maser pistol, a comm link, a datapad, and a vibrosword. He also carries several medpacs on his person at all times.

DROIDS:
Recrus possesses two antiquated, heavily repaired droids. Both are M1 models, captured by the Chiss military years ago and recently repaired by the curious officer. One is identified as M1-B2, the other as M1-A5. B2 is programmed as a mechanic, navigator, and co-pilot. A5 is programmed primarily as a portable holo-projector, with secondary functions as a medic.

The character looks really good. The amount of detail you put into his personality really gave me a distinctive look into him as a person, very nice.

The only thing you would really need to change (and it would be quite minor) is that padawan is no longer a rank, the equivalent would be initiate.

And since the republic has been dead for five years now, the tail end of your bio doesn't make sense as a stopping point if you know what I mean. Could add something like "He's been training for the past five years etc etc to destroy the Sith etc etc for the Ascendancy" or something akin to that and it would shore you right up I think.

Okay, I believe the changes have been made in such a way as to keep his mind set right and provide plenty of training opportunities for him.
