Physical Description

Appearance

Turel is a human male of average height. He possesses the svelte build and muscle tone of a welterweight fighter. He keeps his salt and pepper hair in a short, military style cut. Turel hates shaving so he usually has stubble or a short cut beard in the same salt and pepper color as his hair. His bright green eyes and cocksure smile convey the confidence of a man who has beaten the odds numerous times and knows it. Despite his outward confidence and initial warmth Turel also has the face of a man for whom the passage of time and countless fights have taken their toll.

Distinguishing Marks

Turel has light scarring on the right side of his face, heavy scarring on the right side of his torso and a cybernetic right arm from a failed attempt against his life. His prosthetic right arm extends from the elbow down. Turel opted for a reinforced metal finish as opposed to a skin graft making his prosthesis plainly visible when he doesn't wear long sleeves and gloves.

Attire

Turel prefers function over form when it comes to attire. He typically wears dark colored clothing of a utilitarian, yet stylish, nature. He wears a form-fitting jacket, gloves, pants, and boots. He also wears a functional belt containing his lightsaber, grenades and a holster for his blaster pistol.

You Merely Adopted the Underworld, I Was Born in it. (General Aspect)

Turel Sorenn grew up on the streets of Nar Shaddaa and received his education in the cutthroat ranks of the Hutt Cartel’s enforcers. As such, Turel is perfectly at home in the seedier parts of the galaxy. Crowed city streets, dive bars, spaceports and sleazy clubs are Turel’s home turf.

Turel’s comfort and ease in shadier, more urban environments is contrasted by his discomfort in high society and more natural, rural environments. He is a city boy to the core and not the guy you want leading you through the woods.

Knight Errant (General Aspect)

Turel has taken a controversial pro-Brotherhood stance within House Odan-Urr, believing that the best option to safeguard New Tython is to work within the Brotherhood system rather than against it. He does not automatically view practitioners of the Dark Side as his enemies, looking instead to a person’s actions and intent to determine friend or foe. So long as one respects personal freedom and does not exploit the weak, Turel is willing to consider anyone a potential ally.

Turel’s pragmatism toward the larger Brotherhood allows him to form alliances and relationships within the power structures of Antei that few Jedi have access to. These ties to Dark Siders has also afforded Turel a healthy amount of distrust and disdain among his more zealous Housemates.

I'm Trying Real Hard to Be the Shepherd (Personality Aspect)

Turel Sorenn spent most of his adult life as an enforcer for the Hutts. The criminal life is all Turel knew until a series of events caused him to question his life and seek out another way. While Turel is a fully committed to walking the path of a Jedi Guardian, his years in the underworld have profoundly shaped his personality and moral compass.

Having come up in a world where “the ends justify the means” ruled the day, Turel tends to view moral choices very pragmatically. More traditional Jedi and respectable members of society tend to view Turel as a shady, uncouth character. The less savory denizens of the galaxy see Turel as weak and self-righteous for turning his back on the criminal life.

Why So Serious? (Personality Aspect)

Turel Sorenn has a dry, sarcastic sense of humor that he employs with mixed results in response to stressful situations. While Turel’s use of humor helps him maintain his calm demeanor, it can sometimes get him into trouble as not everyone appreciates his sass. He uses situationally inappropriate humor and flimsy bravado as a defense mechanism to hide his stress and fear. This defense mechanism rarely fools anyone.

History is written by the winners (Combat Aspect)

For Turel there is no substitute for victory. When faced with a combat situation he will look for the quickest and most effective means of prevailing, even if that means resorting to less than honorable tactics. Sneak attacks, low blows, trash talking and sucker punches are all means to an end for the ex-gangster. Turel will use anything and everything at his disposal and press any advantage to win or at least live to fight another day. He always looks for a way to use his environment to gain an edge.

Turel’s penchant for dirty fighting and generally being tricksy hasn’t earned him any dueling honors or respect from more principled warriors, but it has allowed him to prevail or escape some impossible situations.

Ludicrous Speed! (Combat Aspect)

Growing up on the streets of Nar Shadaa with a relatively small frame, Turel quickly learned that speed and agility were his best defense against larger opponents. ”You can’t kill what you can’t catch” became the cornerstone of his training and combat philosophy. This focus on speed as a shield carried over into Turel’s training as a Jedi Guardian. He honed his Force and Lightsaber techniques to defend, deflect or evade long enough to seize an opening, land a finishing blow or create distance for ranged weapon use.

Turel’s focus on speed and endurance came at the expense of his physical strength and raw power.
