Physical Description

Appius is a very tall Mandalorian Force using human with pale skin complexion, and a mostly average body build with brown hair that he chooses to keep short to hide the fact his hairline is receding at the sides. His eyes have turned into a yellowy-amber colour as a result of his immersion into the dark side of the Force. He has long arms, hands and legs which are natural given his taller height.

Distinguishing marks

He has a horizontal scar across the left side of his body located where his left kidney used to be. The result of a plasma arrow that embedded itself into him during GJW XIII that destroyed his left kidney.

Despite being Physically fit, his body seems to lack much definition in muscle tone.

Path Of Least Resistance (General Aspect)

Appius Wight prefers more of a subtle touch, achieving his goals via the least amount of effort possible.

He will often take the easiest or more direct route, even something as simple as using the Force to summon a glass to his hand when he could have just gotten it himself. He will take the path of least resistance and go with the flow.

This does sometimes get him into trouble, especially when the "path of least resistance" wasn't necessarily the best one.

Mando'a Dar'Jetii (General Aspect)

Bounty hunting is a complicated profession and it's often said that beggars can't be choosers, especially in the line of work Appius Wight is subjected too. As a result of being a Mandalorian Force user and former Jedi-turned dark sider, Appius Wight has no qualms about the contracts he accepts.

He has built up a reputation amongst Clan Taldryan for accepting contracts where he believes the target deserves it. Either because they are scum, they had it coming, or simply because he damn well feels like it. He see's the Mandalorian code as a guide rather than a set of strict rules to follow, he doesn't even wear the armour anymore.

Upon occasion this has put him at odds with other Mercenaries and Mandalorian's of the Clan who follow the way more diligently.

What I Did, I Did Without Choice (Personality Aspect)

Guilt is a heavy burden to bear on any mortal soul, and Appius Wight is no different. His turn to the dark side was brought about by an act which he himself deemed necessary. An act that ended in the deaths of hundreds, something that often weighs on his conscious.

As a result he is a massive introvert and often prefers to spend his time alone. He hides behind a mask of smiles, sarcasm and humour and never tries to take anything too seriously.

Those who are close to him, such as his apprentices and master, will often see shades of the old Appius lurking beneath. He will be warm, approachable, even kind, emotionally sensitive and will wear a genuine smile in front of them.

However, just like any mask, it can be broken, and Appius' more fragile mental state can be taken advantage off.

I Will Do What I Must (Personality Aspect)

Appius Wight is by far not a normal run-of-the-mill dark sider. Unlike those completely rage induced and consumed by the dark side of the Force.

He will always do what he feels he must do for what he believes is the greater good. Despite how reckless it may be, or how many lives may be lost. He will react based on his emotions and his gut feeling for what he believes should be done.

Whilst this quality may be admirable to some, others frown upon this line of thinking. As a result, he finds it difficult to make new friends or allies.

Unlimited Power! (Combat Aspect)

Appius Wight is no stranger to using the Force to defend himself. Years of being hunted just for his sensitivity to that mystical power has taught him that the Force is his ally, and a powerful ally it is.

As such, he has learnt to rely on it, becoming his first choice for dealing with enemies, even before drawing his lightsabers. Whether it be Telekenesis to shift an opponent and throw objects, Slow to keep them in place, or even Force Lightning to destroy them.

Despite how devastating and horrifying this can be for his opponents, Appius can quickly find himself struggling as overuse of Force Powers can leave him extremely fatigued. This leaves him extremely vulnerable to the Suppression Force Power.

Shock And Awe (Combat Aspect)

Appius Wight has spent the best part of two decades mastering Form VI, Niman and Jar'Kai, to the point that using the Force in lightsaber combat is as simple as breathing. Telekinesis push or pull, Slow to halt his enemies movements, Amplification to improve his physical capabilities, and of course, Force Lightning. These are just a small handful of techniques he will use.

Appius is a deceptive fighter. Often starting with a single blade and then transitioning to two when the need arises, he will use his knowledge of Lightsaber combat to then exploit enemy weaknesses and secure victory.

However, a jack of all trades fighting style bears the issue of being a master of none. He can often find himself struggling against master saberist's that can see through Appius' tactics, especially if they are better with the blade than he is.
