- "Live to Fly. Fly to Live."
- ―Jafits Skrumm
Jafits Skrumm or JS for short, is a Jedi Warden of Clan Odan-Urr. A skilled starfighter pilot and a Force-Sensitive, Jafits later discovered that he was also proficient in designing battle plan using his trained Battle Meditation. He is the twin brother of Jaarek Skrumm, or better known as JScumm, a Sith Battlemaster of Clan Arcona, who was presumed killed in action (KIA) following the invasion of Force-devoid Aliens in 21 ABY. Having known his brother's fate, Jafits flew to the remain of Arcona's fleet in the Shroud and took his brother's mantle silently as an Arconan. However after several years of training in the ways of the Dark Side, he still considered himself as a Jedi. So when a light side house was founded in 28 ABY, it didn't take long for Jafits to become a Disciple of Odan-Urr.

Character Information
Physical Appearance
Jafits Skrumm stands at 1.83 m in height with weight near 80 kg. He has the look and physique of a typical Imperial starfighter pilot who had undergone grueling physical and psychological conditioning. He likes to have his black hair cut short, a crew cut military style. He has sharp black eyes and lightly tanned skin. In his middle forty, his once short black hair has shown grey hair in several areas, especially near his both ears.
Typical Attire
JS usually wears a TIE pilot suit combined with his black Jedi robe. He keeps his lightsaber in his left belt and a DL-44 heavy blaster pistol in his right.
Personality and Traits
JS is a quite person, introvert kind of person, he only speaks when there is something worth saying. Along with that, his placid demeanor also does not attract attention to others, which makes people tend to underrate him, but he is definitely a snake in the grass. He prefers action over conversation.
Powers and abilities
Jafits's Force-sensitivity first manifested itself in his piloting abilities. Like Jedi Aces, he uses the Force to enhance his piloting skills, his target accuracy, his battle precognition and double his reflexes. Furthermore, he uses the Force to sense his enemy pilots minds to anticipate their actions so he can always be one step ahead of his enemies.
Weapons
DL-44 Heavy Blaster Pistol
Jafits's weapon of choice is a custom modified DL-44 Heavy Blaster Pistol which once belonged to his father.
It is a medium ranged yet powerful and reliable single-handed pistol, moreover it can be modified to allow more range, accuracy and hitting power. However a DL-44 Heavy Blaster pistol consumes twice the amount of blaster gas and power from the magazine and overheats quickly. To overcome those downsides, JS carries an IM-40 Three-Slot Ammunition which provides additional ammunition and, thanks to DL-44's high degree of modification, he equipped his blaster with cooling vents on the sides, allowing the weapon to cool more quickly which also leads to a much faster rate of fire.
Although the blaster is aged, JS always spares his time to take care and keep the blaster in mint condition, as if it was freshly off the manufacturing line, with no scratches, dents, or minor defect at all. He still carries and uses it even after becoming a Dark Jedi Knight and constructing a lightsaber.
Lightsaber
Jafits's first lightsaber
Although Jafits Skrumm is not an expert swordsman, he has wielded at least three lightsabers throughout his career in the Dark Brotherhood.
JS constructed his first lightsaber which had a green blade for about three weeks when he was undergoing his Trials of Knighthood under his master, Odin Vaaj, tutelage. However, shortly after he obtained his first lightsaber and got promoted to Dark Jedi Knight, he lost it when the Force-devoid aliens attacked the Arcona fleet in 21 ABY.
During Arcona retreat into the Shroud, he constructed a new red-bladed lightsaber with Jenruax and Upari crystals which fit his preferred lightsaber form, Soresu. He used this lightsaber, dubbed "Rebel", during his time as a Dark Jedi Knight and a Sith Warrior. Upon joining Odan-Urr, he changed his blade color to yellow, which is a typical color used by Jedi of the Sentinel Order.
