As with all Teltior, Orv Dessrx's eyes are a deep black, though his skin lacks the color of most of his species—rather than pale blue, his is chalk-white save for the faint blue veins that seem to want to fight their way to the surface. He keeps his head shaved. His once athletic body has been reduced to a frail frame; the Dark Side, a bit of technology, and his own force of will kept him from the brink of death but the effort took a toll on his body and face, aging them beyond their years. Orv is not whole. His torso and a number of innards have been replaced with cybernetics, though the rest of him remains visibly his organic self. While his limbs appear fairly weak, his three-fingered hands are strong and highly flexible.
Despite the damage that his body has endured, Orv Dessrx maintains—with some difficulty—a posture and presence of that of a practiced diplomat. While his face is emotive and he can convey calmness, derision or sternness are more frequent adornments.
Through a combination of preparing, studying, and analyzing, Orv Dessrx creates detailed battle plans and tries to think two steps ahead of the enemy. At times, however, this can lead to Orv Dessrx creating complicated schemes that can baffle less intelligent subordinates.
Orv Dessrx's life is filled with training and learning for all sorts of situations, from the mind-numbingly normal to the utterly bizarre. As such, Orv Dessrx has developed into a rather resourceful individual. This has made Orv Dessrx a mix of academic and scholar, always with something to offer to any discussion. However, knowledge and training does not always translate well to the tense environment of the battlefield, and no amount of textbooks can prepare one for reality...
Orv Dessrx d'Tana Arconae has a passion for politics. He views his comrades and enemies alike as pieces in a large political game where points and counterpoints are made with each action. He pictures himself as a skilled player, but getting lost in "the game" often clouds Orv's ability to connect with others on a personal level.
Orv Dessrx likes to engage in detailed discussions and think through situations carefully, often collaborating with others to seek their opinions before deciding on the best course of action. While this often ensures Orv Dessrx is more fair and well-respected amongst his peers, sometimes others do not have time to discuss this in a committee.
When it comes to a fight, some like to posture, some like to act tough, some like to dance around and go through all sorts of fancy footwork. Orv Dessrx? Orv Dessrx doesn't bother with exotic battle stances, intricate maneuvers, or super-secret tactics. Orv Dessrx, when cornered into a fight, prefers the ancient technique of a good kick to the nuts. And if that won't work, either because the enemy is a woman or has balls of steel, Orv Dessrx isn't beyond pulling a few more cheap tricks out of the bag. Granted, Orv Dessrx won't be winning any medals for nobility or any prestige for a unique fighting style or a superb maneuver, but Orv Dessrx will still be winning, the best and most dirty way he knows how.
Orv Dessrx vastly prefers ranged combat, taking every opportunity to use skills and Force Powers to disengage from melee and instead fight at range, so much so that he has become competent at staying out of melee in the first place.
