Growing up, Tarsus' masculine factor was that of his uncles and grandfather. Other than that, he was raised mostly by women. Because of spending most of his time with his mother, he always was taught on how to treat a lady, but because of being around his uncles for so many hours of the day he was taught that burps and farts were funny. This eventually led to Tarsus' childish, very crazy, and weird personality. His mother wasn't in the Jedi order, but she tried and tried to teach him the ways of light side. Tarsus might just have been a Jedi if it weren't for his natural rage that was within him, and for a painful event that was to come. Since the age of 7, Tarsus worked with nerfs and around nerf herders. The result of handling such huge beasts left scars. He has been through several stampedes; two which we was trampled. The more noticeable scar is on his hand. Due to the nerfs acid spit, he received a burn. It left a permanent, deep scar.

He quickly became friends with her, and after her former apprentice left, Shadow Nighthunter became his master. They continue to be very close friends, and training is a bit tough, perhaps for the both of them. Tarsus with his childish ways, and Shadow with her strict self, was forced to do many push ups and received kicks to the shin. For his master, it caused many headaches and perhaps the loss of brain cells. Even with their differences, the two still find themselves sitting on the same bench. Everyday, the two become closer as friends. Who knows, perhaps that will change one day. As of now, the tall and handsome Obelisk spends many nights at the cantinas, where he is the most popular man among the dancers. No one really knows why, but Tarsus things it is a combination of his charms, and the fact that he likes to go to places with the lack of a shirt; showing off his muscular body. Tarsus is in fact so popular among the dancers, his wallet is normally filled with more money, rather than stolen as most men are. Even though Tarsus spends much time with the dancer, his heart is alone, and he wishes one day to find a gal that suits him. Till that day comes, he spends his time at the cantinas: picking up the ladies with his charms. Tarsus often carries roses with him, and extra money to buy things for when the finally meets the gal his heart wants.
Appearance
Tarsus is a tall male at 6 feet and 7 inches. His is very muscular and very strong. The Obelisk does his best to stay strong and big. Seeing him lift 500 pounds isn't uncommon. Tarsus likes to walk around without a shirt to show off his muscles. When he is not, the Obelisk likes to wear things that are comfortable that aren't robes. He doesn't like to wear them. Since he likes to show his bare body, one can see all the scars that show on Tarsus. He's had many injuries, and likes to show them at times. Tarsus' eyes are a stone dead grey; the kind of grey and shows pain, sorrow, guilt, and war. In truth, Tarsus has been through much of that. Though he was mostly a nerf herder, he went on bounties for extra cash at times. No one knew about this, and he only worked with people that were hiring for an extra hand. Tarsus is one hell of a shot, and uses the Force to make him more spot on with his weapon.
