| '''Arvalis''' was a skilled [[starwars:Anzat|Anzat]] [[starwars:Gray Jedi|Gray Jedi]] who served a brief stint as [[Quaestor]] of [[House Dinaari]], and was part of the [[Wiki Tribune|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. | | === Biography === |
| | ==== Early Life (14 - 24 ABY) ==== |
| | ==== The Harbinger (24 - 34 ABY) ==== |
| | ==== Crossing Over (34 - 35 ABY) ==== |
| | ==== A New Beginning (35 ABY) ==== |
| | === Physical Appearance=== |
| | Arvalis is a male Umbaran, a race also known as the ''Shadow People'', with features best described as sharp. High cheekbones combined with a strong jawline give him a somewhat attractive look by human standards. His thin lips are devoid of pigment, seemingly lacking any color, and twisted into an unnerving smile. His chin and nose respectively taper off into fine points. While most sentients would describe his hair and eyes as being ghastly white, they are in fact not achromatic. In the UV spectrum, whether naturally or through technological means, individuals would see a myriad of colors shining through. His hair is rather long for an Umbaran; but sporting a unique undercut hairstyle. Most days he prefers to keep it swept back, save a rather long fringe being swept to the side. |
|
| |
|
| Much of his early life was spent traveling down [[starwars:Perlemian Trade Route|The Axis]], until he ultimately opened a barber shop, and climbed the social ladder on [[starwars:Coruscant|Coruscant]]. Later in life, he reunited with his father, a [[starwars:Matukai|Matukai]], and became his apprentice. Together, the pair traveled in the [[starwars:Outer Rim|Outer Rim]] for several years trying to put a stop to the lawlessness beyond the [[starwars:Core|Core]]. Arvalis and his father would part ways on [[starwars:Mustafar|Mustafar]]. Leaving his father behind, Arvalis remained on the volcanic planet to train with the [[starwars:Blackguard|Blackguard]]. Sent on a mission to [[starwars:Dxun|Dxun]] by the order, he escaped the [[starwars:Great Jedi Purge|Great Jedi Purge]] and later fled to the [[starwars:Unknown Regions|Unknown Regions]] where he entered a Force-assisted hibernation - hoping to wake up in a Galaxy that was free from persecution.
| | While Arvalis has a rather delicate appearance, his physique is often understated due to his lean musculature. His body is sculpted akin to a professional athlete, combined with his alabastar skin, he has the appearance a classic marble statue. His body belays an image of someone who is lithe and graceful rather than a physical powerhouse. |
| | === Personality and Traits === |
| | Arvalis is well-spoken individual with a slick Coruscanti accent - formal and polite, but with a rather mocking and facetious undertone. He is always wearing a smile - he stops smiling so rarely it's always a significant moment when he does so. This gives him an eerie demeanor when combined with his too-calm voice that rarely oscillates or waivers. His pronounced squint and constant grin can offset his true intentions or feelings |
| | === Powers and Abilities === |
| | Parkour! |
|
| |
|
| Arvalis resurfaced in the known Galaxy around [[starwars:28 ABY|28 ABY]]. He traveled in a Galaxy that had changed, but still remained the same. His life would change when met a retired [[starwars:Galactic Empire|Imperial]] [[starwars:Admiral|Admiral]] named [[Howlader]] over a game of [[starwars:Sabacc|Sabacc]]. It was the same man that would introduce the Anzat to [[Taldryan]]

| == Biography ==
| | Recently discovering his Force-sensitivity, Arvalis has been taking his first steps into a wider world. Raw, untamed power gives rise to the explosive expressions of his power al though he lacks the finer control associated with those that carry his status in the Brotherhood. |
| | | |
| === Humble Beginnings ===

| {{Quote|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 [[starwars:Anzat|Anzati]] were [[starwars:Force-sensitive|sensitive]] to the ebb and flow of [[starwars:the Force|the Force]] on one level or another. [[starwars:Jedi|Jedi]] prejudice towards the Anzati meant that a young Arvalis was not taken to the [[starwars:Jedi Temple|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 [[starwars:Telekinesis|manipulate]] small pebbles and [[starwars:Mind trick|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.
| |
|
| |
| [[starwars:Euceron|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.

| == 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 ==
| |
| {{Quote|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 ==
| |
| {{Quote|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.
