"I have seen entire civilizations rise and fall. You mortals are but dust to me."

―Arvalis

Arvalis was a skilled Anzat Gray Jedi who served a brief stint as Quaestor of House Dinaari, and was part of the Tribune of the Holocrons' staff. He was an adherent of the Obelisk path and quickly rose through the ranks of the Dark Jedi Brotherhood under the guidance of Kazmir Natas, who served as his mentor.

Much of his early life was spent traveling down The Axis, until he ultimately opened a barber shop, and climbed the social ladder on Coruscant. Later in life, he reunited with his father, a Matukai, and became his apprentice. Together, the pair traveled in the Outer Rim for several years trying to put a stop to the lawlessness beyond the Core. Arvalis and his father would part ways on Mustafar. Leaving his father behind, Arvalis remained on the volcanic planet to train with the Blackguard. Sent on a mission to Dxun by the order, he escaped the Great Jedi Purge and later fled to the Unknown Regions where he entered a Force-assisted hibernation - hoping to wake up in a Galaxy that was free from persecution.

Arvalis resurfaced in the known Galaxy around 28 ABY. He traveled in a Galaxy that had changed, but still remained the same. His life would change when met a retired Imperial Admiral named Howlader over a game of Sabacc. It was the same man that would introduce the Anzat to Taldryan

Biography

Humble Beginnings

"Honor, glory, there's no point in speaking to someone who abides by these ideals, yet does not hesitate to kill."

―Iskander Cinaed to Arvalis, a teacher imparting wisdom.

All Anzati were sensitive to the ebb and flow of the Force on one level or another. Jedi prejudice towards the Anzati meant that a young Arvalis was not taken to the Jedi Temple for training.

Arvalis was born on the mist-covered world of Anzat, left to the care of his forebear Iskander Cinead - an Anzat in his late 900's. From an early age, the young Anzat was taught how to live, how to fight, how to survive, on a planet filled with predators. Despite the family being well reputed, Arvalis was raised in a dark and damp cave hewn roughly into a rocky spire. Whenever his forebear allowed the young Anzat to have a few hours to himself, young Arvalis would retreat to the vast bamboo thickets in the mist beneath.

As a youth, Arvalis displayed an above-average sensitivity to the Force, being able to manipulate small pebbles and influence minds. Iskander tried his best to nourish the growing interest of his young cub - even if it was a concept Anzati do not recognize as any more correct than any of a dozen theories before. With knowledge on the Force limited and Arvalis finishing his martial training, he soon left Anzat behind. Many young Anzat pursued a life of assassination, Arvalis was not one of them.

Euceron, due to it's proximity to Anzat, was often an Anzat's first exposure to the outside Galaxy. Upon arrival, Arvalis was greeted by a female Anzat named Cassandra. She would goad the fresh arrival into taking up an assassination contract. Arvalis, short on credits, had no other option if he wanted to leave the planet behind anytime soon. In order to survive, Arvalis was taught the finer arts of consuming soup. He was however stabbed in the back - literally - by the woman that would later turn out to be his very own mother. Saved from an untimely death by a mysterious man who nursed him back to health, Arvalis set off on the Perlemian Trade Route towards Coruscant. Drawn to the Core by the concentration of Force energies surrounding the Jedi Order.

Yellow Brick Road

"To know a man is to steal his dying breath."

―Arvalis on consuming soup.

Arvalis on Coruscant

With the sparse amount of credits, Arvalis utilized the public transport system to travel from Euceron to Taanab. It’s corporate government was too busy with logistics and exporting foodstuffs to check incoming arrivals. Even a creature such as himself had an easy time slipping passed customs and out of the spaceport. He would settle on a cattle farm deep on the southern hemisphere. Ran by a childless, elderly couple. They accepted the help of anyone that offered, without many questions. He didn’t even have to plant the suggestion with his natural talents. The pay would never have made him rich, but it was enough to get him to his next destination a few months later. Herding cattle wasn’t the most adventurous of jobs, even if staga were the most dangerous of animals that Taanab had to offer. He missed the excitement, the vibe, the very presence of Anzat around him.

After gathering the needed funds and having a sufficient last meal, Chazwa was the next planet Arvalis touched down on. Another temperate world like Taanab, but much more active. It’s positioning made it a very large hub for logistics. And where goods are traded and shipped, smugglers are never far away. He figured his best chance to continue on his galactic journey was to offer his help on a smuggling run. Sadly, he didn’t have any contacts, nor any experience on a ship. He'd have to rely on his fancy talk and his mind-influencing abilities. Arvalis later strayed into a casino where he crashed the sabacc tables. Sitting on a small fortune, he found himself a smuggler that would take him to Coruscant.

Things rarely work out as planned, and the smuggler had business to attend to on Nar Shaddaa. So Arvalis found himself on Castell, a foundry world populated by a small saurian species known as the Gossam. The aura of the planet was pitiful, as were its inhabitants. Little did Arvalis know that the planet had been trapped in a decades-long depression, not that it would have changed his opinion at the time. The busy vibe and constant noise from the factories and urban settlements were a delightful change from the mind-shattering silence of Taanab. The dark plumes of smoke rising from the uncountable factories blotched out the sun on most days, not that you could venture out to explore to planet on the better days, steady acid showers sought to that. He liked the darkness – the eternal shade that covered the planet due to pollution. It cast the world in a dim light, the muted colors easy on his eyes.

Getting a Sense

"I am a stone. I do not move. I do not tremble. I have no fear."

―Arvalis reciting a mantra during training.

File:Arvalis-Blackguard.jpg

Arvalis served as a Blackguard

Darlyn Boda was an unbearably humid jungle world. Especially for most humanoids. Even so, it was home to many devil-may-care shadowports – so many that the planet itself could have been called a shadowport. Arvalis didn’t come here for that reason though. He operated a network of contacts in the underworld – and some more legal, but those never gave impressive information. A Matukai had been spotted in the region days earlier. They were a cult of Force-sensitive warriors, and perhaps his best hope to gain some insight into the Force. Arvalis assumed that he, or she, was attracted to this bantha dung of a planet to curb the injustice that came paired with a lawless world where credits reigned supreme. Arvalis aimlessly wandered through the crowd, keeping his senses actively spread out. His concentration was disrupted when a small child bumped into him. Children weren’t uncommon in shadowports, they were often employed as pickpockets. Except this time around he came out richer than poorer. Little did Arvalis know that the Matukai he had hoped to encounter was his father, the same man that had saved his life on Eurceron so many years ago.

Reunited with his father, Arvalis apprenticed himself to the Matukai ways. His initiation started on Hoth.

The Crusade

"Most days I live a life of quiet contemplation. Then there's today."

Physical Description

Standing just under 6'1" and weighting in at about 159lbs, Arvalis is fair-skinned, fairly tall, and sports an athletic frame. Devotion to physical excellence has sculpted his body, though he does not carry to overall bulk of many of his peers.His black hair is kept long and drapes from his scalp in natural waves. Combined with his blue eyes, he has pleasant, if not attractive features from a human standpoint. In order to better assimilate in what is predominantly a Human Galaxy, the Anzat has had some minor facial surgeries to change his appearance to something more "suitable" for hiding in the plain sight.

Personality and traits

"Cease your struggles, count your blessings, and get out of my way."

―Arvalis

Arvalis is well-spoken and well-behaved in social situations. His slick Coruscanti accent, easy smile, and rudimentary understanding of psychology allows him to persuade many that he is in fact not a major threat. Lulling would-be-enemies into a false sense of security has it's advantages, but those of more cautious natures and keen eyes can often see through it and reveal his true intentions.

Despite his species’ love for “soup”, and the accompanying susceptibility to addictive substances, Arvalis abstains from such practices. Stretching the time between mandatory feedings as long as possible, and even then only hunting down sentients that live on the edge of society. This tendency means he suffers from a perpetual hunger, making him weak and susceptible to fits of hunger-driven rage.

While young, for an Anzat, Arvalis has spent more than a human lifetime surviving in a galaxy that would rather see his ilk dead. He has grown to hold a certain stubbornness when it comes to survival, whether in battle or in every day situations. This survival instinct stems from a distrust of humanity, as such he distances himself from all but a select few.

Seemingly a pacifist, Arvalis is fully aware of the political games that naturally occur in the Brotherhood. While he would prefer not to get too involved in these internal struggles, he regards battle and subsequently the killing of fellow Dark Jedi as a necessary evil for the survival of Taldryan. As such, he holds no qualms over taking a life in battle.

Powers and abilities

"Unsheathe your sword and unleash your heart."

―Arvalis

Arvalis excels at augmenting his physical abilities with Amplification, and is able to push himself far beyond the limits of what his body would naturally be capable of. Furthermore; he is also adept at using the Force to perceive threats. This heavy reliance on the Force will quickly sap his stamina in prolonged battles.

Arvalis is a very well practiced warrior. A purist in the art of lightsaber duels, he is able to quickly discern and abuse flaws in his opponent's fighting style. This keen insight is aided by an above average athletic ability. While fully capable of dazzling feats of acrobatic twists and turns, the Anzat prefers to keep a balanced posture. He does have trouble dealing with multiple opponents at once, the cost of being too focused on a single enemy.
