Qor Palpatine was born in the deep trenches of Dac's oceans, and his skin is a thick leathery orange iconic to his species. His torso is frail and slim, but he has lean thighs and toned arms. Rough ridges grow from forehead backwards across his bald head. He has long orange tentacles that extend like a beard, with a pair of gills extending on the sides of his jaw. Two fangs protrude from his mouth that are thick and white, like ivory. Being a Quarren, his eyes shine a glorious sapphire colour without pupils.
Qor Palpatine's skills as a medic are not just limited to holo-books and lectures. He has read up and practiced a handful of experimental treatments while inventing a few home remedies of his own. This allows Qor Palpatine to work outside the box in less than ideal situations, and can lead to him solving mysteries other trained medics might struggle with. This, of course, comes with its own string of failures, as nothing is ever perfect. That, and some of the more established professionals in the field often doubt or question Qor Palpatine's alternative practices. He typically brushes them off in favor of doing everything he can to help a patient, but does quietly seek recognition for accomplishments as a healer.
Qor Palpatine has turned from his old ways and took the path of the Gray Jedi. Drifting from any loyal bonds and all other factions, he only follows the guidance and teachings of the Force. Qor knows the effects and influences from strict dogmas and doctrines can do to a person, so he tries his best to avoid them all if possible. While this flexible guidance aids him, others see Qor as being non-committal or agnostic.
Though Qor is young for his species, his elderly stance and hunched, stooped walk creates both an image of bestial oddity and a wizened elder statesman of the Brotherhood, an image that is reinforced by his soft-spoken wisdom and guidance to others in their times of need. A realist, he is naturally supporting of others when they need a comforting word or a logical answer to their problems, and Qor’s advice often reflects his respect for both life, death and all of the joy and sorrow that exists in between. However, this hardened, calm persona he has created has limits: the more he is around others, the harder it is to sustain the brave face, and the more short-tempered and snappish he can grow. Qor must take considerable time alone with his thoughts before he can feel centered once again to bolster his outward persona.
The Quarren has an unquenchable passion to learn all things unknown to him. This creates an aura that he is an inquisitive intellectual that many find either impressive or annoying. Qor’s insatiable need to ascertain the truth of things creates a behavior where he constantly prods, or interrogates, those whom are deemed experts or have expertise in a field he is exploring. This never-ending bombardment of questions is oft considered shameful, or poor in tact, to revered authorities: professors, masters, and law enforcement. In reverse, Qor’s behavior is uplifting to students, novices, and other knowledge-seekers; creating bonds with those with similar outlooks on the pursuit of knowledge. This reckless chase for answers, however, can have a negative impact on the Quarren when he is told “no” by those whom possess what he seeks. Qor will escalate his behavior from his normal demeanor to direct, or blunt, demands then to physical violence to get what he wants.
Bound to his medical training and experience, Qor Palpatine has taken an oath to preserve all manner of life. Whether humane, beastly or botanical in nature, Qor shall not deliver the fatal blow, but that does not suggest he is incapable of defending himself. His analytical process of thought allows Qor to detect key anatomical features of an opponent's body that could be subject to disabling. With survival of the opponent on his mind, Qor will try to arrest or subdue them. These methods of engagement will force Qor to hesitate and watch the opponent, to monitor how their body works — a precious piece of time for someone to intervene.
Qor Palpatine was a promising student in the halls of his Clan after training with a Saberstaff in the defensive arts of Soresu. Qor feels most comfortable in combat wielding the weapon of the Jedi and Sith, scurrying around to find a similar weapon if he loses it. While able to demonstrate the core mechanics of this defensive form, he still doesn’t want to use it in battle.
