Ka Tarvitz is a Human male and a recent addition to the Dark Jedi Brotherhood. Sired by Alderaanian survivors, he was raised by the Jensaarai and taught their ways, serving first as an apprentice and then a defender. While devoted to the order and a believer in its ways, he proved to be extremely reluctant to draw upon the raw aggression which balanced the Light against Dark. Eventually voicing his discontent with their insular role within the universe, he and several like-minded defenders set out to better explore the galaxy and return with word of galactic events. This, combined with their self-appointed role of recovering lost relics, eventually brought them into conflict with the Jedi of Clan Odan-Urr and led to Tarvitz's capture. Upon discovering the fate of New Tython and the threat which beset the Jedi, Tarvitz pledged himself to their service and began honing his abilities under the guidance of Edgar Drachen.

Physical Description

Tall, heavily built and with his fair share of old wounds, Tarvitz is an imposing figure at the best of times. Sporting a determined if world weary stare, his weather-beaten skin reflects a hard life of having traveled under countless alien suns, and is matched by his fading shoulder length hair. It is obvious from a glance that Tarvitz has led a hard life, but a seasoned warrior can quickly tell that he lacks the innate combat experience of a veteran soldier. Adorning the upper left of his brow and encompassing his eye socket, the pale green glow of a dark metal cybernetic sensor clashes against his dark blue organic right eye. Around its edges, the old scars of shrapnel wounds and burned tissue can still be seen, clashing against his proud features.

It is rare to see Tarvitz out of his armour, even during passive moments such as personal meditation or social meetings. Preferring its bulk and weight over standard clothing, he only discards it during ceremonial duties or formal gatherings, and even then favours a practical attire over more stylised robes. This has the unfortunate side effect of making him stand out from crowds or drawing undue attention in otherwise peaceful environments.

Gear & Weapons

Much of Tarvitz’s gear and equipment has been salvaged from past wrecks or bartered from traders on the Outer Rim. While often well-used, each has proven to be extremely reliable in the past, and served him well during a multitude of boarding actions against derelict vessels.

Weapons of choice

The most obvious among these is his warplate: A heavily modified and stylised set of Phase II clone paratrooper armour taken from a Rebublic warship. Reserved for situations where the Jensaarai were required to disguise their true allegiance, it is a stark contrast with the more regal uniform of his order. While stripped of its more heavily damaged or high maintenance systems - notably its jetpack - it has been upgraded several times, both to reinforce the plasteel chestplate and for space combat. While the helmet and several key features mean it can be easily identified, the dark purple colours and ivory trim disguise its practical build, and many mistake it as ceremonial armour at first glance. Several pouches at its belt store a datapad, com-link, and a small medpac among other items.

The gladius Tarvitz keeps at his side was one retrieved during a particularly notable salvage run, and taken from an ancient vessel bereft of any name. Despite its ornate design, Tarvitz found that its short length and angular head was perfect for combating a foe in the tight confines of warship. While the blade has been reforged several times thanks to battle damage, its ability to be easily slid between the armoured plates of a foe or the reinforced shell of a battle droid has made it invaluable to him. Paired with the sheer stopping power of his T-6 pistol, Tarvitz has found the combination to be simple but quite effective.

Last on the list, and the most recent edition to his arsenal, is the green bladed Armory Lightsaber gifted to him upon joining the Order. Without the gladius’ weight he has yet to truly appreciate the weapon, and while he respects its versatility, he knows it will be some time before he can truly adjust to using it.
