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.

Character History

Lost Heritage (1 ABY - 6 ABY)

The ruins of Alderaan

Like many of his comrades, Tarvitz was brought before the Jensaarai at an early age. Unlike them, he was brought before to their world in an act of desperation. While Tarvitz knows little of what took place, his parents briefly arrived on Susevfi and left him in the care of distant relatives for his own protection not long after the destruction of their homeworld. Either out of fear of something following them or hunting something precious to them, they disappeared again soon afterwards, returning only twice during his early years before disappearing entirely. While Tarvitz himself feels no real sense of loss over this, having written them off for dead and now considering his adopted parents to be his true family, he has admitted that he would value any news of their fate.

Rather than the loss of his parents, the knowledge that Alderaan itself was gone haunted him more than anything else at a young age. Having so often heard of its lost beauty, and the Core World described to him as a shining beacon, he often dreamed of them as a singular verdant paradise in comparison to the harsh deserts of his home. This left Tarvitz with a highly idealized view of the Core which never truly left him, and the constant idea of something better always lurking just out of sight or beyond his reach.

However, Tarvitz's life did not prove to be quite so safe as his parents had wanted. Before even reaching his seventh year, he began to quickly show signs of a strong connection with the Force. Paired with an ill tempered lack of discipline, it became increasingly obvious that he was in desperate need of guidance to control and focus his developing powers. Despite several failed attempts to handle this themselves, he was eventually given to the Jensaarai so he might be trained in their ways.

Reclaimer (27 ABY - 33 ABY)

A fortunate haul

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, either set, 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 current 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.

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 sword 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 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. Following the destruction of his original weapon during his initial conflict with the Jedi, he has taken to carrying this one until a replacement can be forged, or a weapon better suited to his needs can be created.
