Character Snapshot (Battlemaster Karran Val'teo)
Knight Karran Val'teo
Karran Val'teo is a Zabrak Male with a strong build, earned through surviving in harsh conditions. His broad shoulders taper down to his waist, forming a V-shaped torso. His bald head is crowned with sharp, bony horns. His brown eyes sit below them with a dark, burning gaze.
His light tan skin is decorated with scrolling black lines that spread from the center of his chest, branching across his left pectoral muscle, wrapping around his left shoulder, and twisting down his left arm, stopping at the elbow. The right side seems markedly bare, as if the mosaic of ink is unfinished, except for a rendition of a Krayt Dragon, and a small ghost on the back of his hand, and the depiction of a lotus on his right pectoral. The sockets around his eyes are outlined in black ink, that crowns up to form 3 points above each eye that get taller as they spread out from the bridge of his nose. From the corners of his eyes a heavy line follows his jawline down to his chin where a short vertical line goes up and ends just below his bottom lip.
If one were to strip Karran down to what he was given at birth, they would find a variety of scars. Two old scars sit on his cheeks, one vertical on his left, and the other horizontal on his right, deep, somewhat knotted scar on his left outer thigh (courtesy of Sera Kaern). On the back of his right thigh is the remnants of a stab wound from a lightsaber (courtesy of Alaisy Tir'eivra). Finally, a series of three faint slash marks across his left bicep, that only slightly mar the tattoos there.
Technocratic Electro-staff

Type:
Weapon (Blunt)
Category:
Staff
Size:
2
slots
Melee Weapon Modification: Hollow Core
Granted: Electromagnetic Pulse Generator
Prototype: Technocratic Electro-staff
The Technocratic Electro-staff is a custom-designed version of the pole-like electro-staff weapon. The shaft is custom constructed from dallorian alloy, making it more resistant to heat than a standard electro-staff. While it retains its strength, still able to block bladed and blunt weapons, the heat resistance allows for more powerful electrically charged tips on either end of the staff that in addition to still holding up against strikes from a lightsaber inflict a far deadlier strike to anything they contact. It has removed its stun setting, capable only of inflicting deadly discharges that can stop a sentient's heart after three full seconds of contact. It is carried by the cyborg shocktroopers in the Technocratic Guild as part of their advanced arsenal against Force users.
Hollow Core
Technocratic Electro-staff has had as much material as possible removed from its basic structure, in an attempt to make this Technocratic Electro-staff as light as possible while still useful in combat. This makes it far easier for Karran Val'teo to wield, but at an offsetting reduction in force on impact.
Electromagnetic Pulse Generator
The handle of this weapon is equipped with a generator that sends constant electromagnetic pulses to the weapon's striking surface during use. While active, the striking surface of [this item] can parry lightsaber blades; however, the rest of the weapon is vulnerable to a lightsaber's plasma blade.

Hidden Blade Bracer
Hidden Blade Bracer
Type:
Weapon (Bladed)
Category:
Knuckler
Melee Weapon Modification: Weighted Core
Bladed Weapon Modification: Dense Alloy Blade
Melee Weapon Cosmetic: Blackout
Prototype: Hidden Blade Bracer
The Hidden Blade Bracer features a slender and sharp stiletto blade that is intended for quick, low-profile kills. The blade's defining feature is its ability to retract into the simple hide-bracer for concealment. While perfect for penetrating armor at the weak points, the blade is less durable than the common vibrodagger and is designed for swift stabbing motions rather than slashing.
Weighted Core
Hidden Blade Bracer has had as much material as possible removed and replaced with material that is far denser, in an attempt to increase the weight of this Hidden Blade Bracer as much as possible while attempting to maintain overall balance. This makes the weapon far more difficult for Karran Val'teo to wield, but has an offsetting increase in impact force due to the weight of the weapon.
Dense Alloy Blade
Hidden Blade Bracer is constructed of a dense alloyed steel, making this Hidden Blade Bracer much stronger than the standard steel used to manufacture bladed weapons. However, this denser material also makes the weapon considerably heavier and more difficult to wield.
Blackout
Hidden Blade Bracer has had every external component painted black as night. This allows this Hidden Blade Bracer to more easily blend into the shadows and darkness unseen.

Challadan
Challadan
(IG-100 MagnaGuard)
Type:
Droid
Category:
Combat Droid
Droid Cosmetic: Black As Night
Droid Personality: Bushido Protocol
Droid Modification: Light-Alloy Frame
Droid Combat Modification: Master Of Blades
Prototype: IG-100 MagnaGuard
The IG-100 MagnaGuard is a battle droid designed to combat Jedi opponents through the use of an electrostaff. It is humanoid in design and extremely adaptable, capable of fighting through the loss of limbs and even its head.
Black As Night
Challadan has had every external component painted black as night, with attempts to minimize the brightness of external lights and features. This allows this IG-100 MagnaGuard to more easily blend into the shadows and darkness unseen.
Bushido Protocol
Challadan has had a bootlegged personality protocol uploaded. The personality is based on old, bad holofilms of solitary swordsmen who roamed the worlds and fought for honor. This leads Challadan to not speak often and when it does, it speaks in short, wise-sounding epithets. However, most of these phrases make very little actual sense.
Light-Alloy Frame
Challadan has been modified from standard design parameters to be fitted with a lighter frame. As a result, when compared side by side with the standard IG-100 MagnaGuard, Challadan is found to be less durable while able to move at an increased rate.
Master Of Blades
Challadan has been outfitted with bladed weapons in mind, having been programmed in close quarters combat. As a result, Challadan lacks in ranged weapons and must engage targets up close or be at a disadvantage.

Jedi Armor
Jedi Armor
Type:
Armor
Category:
Medium Armor
Armor Cosmetic: Zabraki Pride
Armor Resistance Modification : Comfort Body Glove
Armor Modification: Mobility Augment
Prototype: Jedi Armor
The Jedi Armor is light and comfortable armor designed to allow as much freedom of movement as possible in utilizing the Force, but with an increase in the protection afforded by the armor, it was still more limiting than traditional Jedi Robes.
Zabraki Pride
Karran is deeply proud of his Zabraki heritage, and the tattoos that come with it. As such, any artwork that is on his skin and would be covered by Jedi Armor has been transposed onto the exterior of the armor. This makes his armor unique to himself, and makes him stand out among anyone else that might wear similar armor.
Comfort Body Glove
Jedi Armor has been fitted with a body glove near the skin that moves moisture away from the skin and keeps Karran Val'teo dry, helping to keep them more comfortable. This glove makes it impossible to further alter this Jedi Armor to provide additional protections.
Mobility Augment
Jedi Armor has added aggressive traction and metal to the footwear on this Jedi Armor. This gives Karran Val'teo better traction with the ground, but steps are much noisier and rougher with the ground they come in contact with.

Family Heirloom: A Dark Gift
Prototype: Family Heirloom
The Family Heirloom is a cherished item passed down through generation after generation of the owner's lineage.
A Dark Gift
This bracelet was a gift from Karran Val'teo's fellow Sith and occasional rival, Alaisy Tir'eivra. It is gold, adjustable, and has a red stone embedded in it, and is the product of it's creator's interest in Sith Alchemy.
Karran Val'teo spent most of his adult life without a family. Subconsciously, this has turned him into a chronic caretaker. Every opportunity he gets, he invites someone who needs a place to stay into his home. On several occasions, he has built extensions and additions onto his home just to accommodate his guests. These gestures do not end with sentients, however. It is not uncommon for Karran Val'teo to adopt animals that others will not, just so that they might have a chance at a happy home. While this generosity does bring many people together, it does leave him open to being taken advantage of.
While Karran Val'teo will see a job through to its conclusion and put forward his best effort, it’s still just a job. Karran Val'teo's true loyalties lie to his friends, and through thick and thin,he will stand by them and die for them if needed. This loyalty is reserved for those who have earned Karran Val'teo's trust, putting him at odds with other Mercenaries that are only doing a job for the money. This also makes it harder for employers to trust his motives, often times creating extra competition and difficulty finding work. None of it matters to Karran Val'teo, though, because loyalty to his friends is not something credits can buy.
Karran Val'teo has a legendary and virulent need for vengeance. Once crossed, he will make it his life’s work to ensure that whatever slight was received is repaid tenfold. This need for vengeance can be all-consuming, and can often lead to short-sighted decisions.
Karran Val'teo has fought with almost everyone he considers a friend. And each of them has left their mark. There's no hard feelings, besides, what's some bloody knuckles and internal bruising between friends? However, this aggressive nature can be off-putting to some less aggressive acquaintances.
Karran Val'teo feels burning rage deep inside him, but knows what unchecked passian can do. Therefore, rage, while a valuable tool, should not be tapped into lightly. He is sometimes consumed by guilt when he unnecessarily channels this power, and may withdraw from the people he cares about so as to not expose them to the beast he keeps caged up inside him.
Karran Val'teo's dedication to incorporating various aspects of his Zabraki heritage into his life have even extended itself into his combat with a lightsaber. Although the Djem So lightsaber form typically requires a solid stance in order to deliver its powerful, dominating blows, Karran Val'teo has taken to incorporating the fluid movement of K'thri and sweeping kicks into his attacks in a duel. While this sacrifice in footing does add a degree of randomness to his attacks, making them harder to predict, it does decrease the power of his strikes with his weapon.
