Height: 1.93 m / 6'4" - Weight: 87.07 kg / 192 lbs

Physical Description

Appius Wight is particularly tall, sporting an average human build. The Force-weilding Mandalorian has a pale complexion that gives his bright blue eyes a piercing sheen. He wears his ashen brown hair short and well groomed.

This Mandalorian has long arms, hands and legs which are natural given his taller height. On his face is a very faint, light stubble, the same colour as his hair which is hard to see unless you are up close.

Distinguishing marks

He has a long, diagonal scar above his hip on the left side of his body located where his left kidney used to be.

He retains a burn mark over his right shoulder which has mostly faded, but still shows visible signs of scarring up close.

Alor (General Aspect)

Appius has been fortunate enough to become the Consul of Clan Taldryan, one of the Brotherhood's seven Clans. He takes the position very seriously, and strives to be the best Consul and leader that he can be as he tries to be an example that future generations can look up to.

However, as they say, heavy is the heart that wears the crown, and the fear of failing his clansman lurks constantly at the back of his mind. He's seen the destruction of Clans before, and never wants to see it happen to Taldryan whilst he's Alor.

Mandaboo (General Aspect)

At one point in time, Appius Wight believed the Mandalorian code to be more a rough guide than a set of strict rules to follow. This is no longer the case.

Now, he follows the tenants of the Resol'nare vigilantly, as he understands it as the way of life from which he came. He wears the armor, speaks the language, contributes to his aliit's welfare, answers the call of the Manda'lor when required. He swears to protect himself, as well as raise his children as Mandalorians now that he is a father, and above all else, protect his family.

Unfortunately, this dedication to his family and his code of honour can lead to him being manipulated by those that can take advantage of it.

Teh Rang, Mhi Atyaor (Personality Aspect)

"From ashes, we rise."

That was the saying of Appius' old Mandalorian Clan, and it's a saying that he has taken to heart in his everyday life to remember them by.

Appius wears his heart on his sleeves and rarely, if ever, hides his emotions. He seldom plans ahead, and often says the first thing that comes to his mind. Sometimes, he can be calm, and at other times angry, but he usually means well. He's often caught with a smile on his face, a joke, and a handful of wit in his words for those willing to listen.

However, Appius is a reserved and introverted individual. Tragedy has struck this Mandalorian on more than one occasion. The loss of his family created wounds that are hard to heal. As a result, he has a hard time trusting those he meets until he gets to know them better.

Ner Cyare (Personality Aspect)

The destruction of his aliit sent Appius into a downward spiral that resulted in his turn to the Dark Side, believing he was destined to be alone in a galaxy that conspired against him.

That changed when he met Ankira Irr. She became the first ray of light he had experienced in a long time. He became inspired by her kindness and her tenacity, she helped him rediscover who he was and he came to admire and love her, calling her ner cyare.

The old Appius comes to the surface when he's around her. The same kind, gentle being he was before the destruction of his aliit. Time around those he cares for has pulled him out of the Dark Side and into the Grey. However, old wounds and trauma linger at the back of his mind, vulnerable to be opened by those who know what to say or do.

The Unstoppable Force (Combat Aspect)

As a Mandalorian Force User, Appius is in a unique position that allows him to combine his Mandalorian heritage with his powers in the Force. Dowsing allows Appius to pursue his target from something as simple as a torn piece of clothing, whilst Appius' steely Resolve means he stubbornly refuses to surrender the chase.

Channel allows Appius to restore his Force reserves after a few moments of rest, making him more liberal with his Force powers. Combined with using his jetpack to increase his speed and mobility, and blending in his training of Mandalorian Core at random moments when his opponents least expect it makes Appius highly unpredictable to some not prepared for him.

However, more aggressive opponents can fail to give Appius the chance to restore his Force reserves, leading to him becoming exhausted. His mobility can also become heavily restricted if his jetpack is destroyed.

The Trickster's Form (Combat Aspect)

Appius Wight is a firm believer that Niman is as legitimate a lightsaber form as any other. He has studied Form VI for over two decades, and as a result has become extremely proficient at incorporating Force based powers into combat.

These include, but are not limited too, Telekinesis to push and pull opponents. Force Lightning to Zap and kill enemies. Even using Amplification to increase his speed, strength, and stamina is not out of the realms of possibility for him.

Through Dun Moch Appius picks apart his opponents fighting style, belittling them to exploit their weaknesses using his varied training and knowledge of lightsaber forms to do so. However, as impressive as all this is, it's not without its flaws. Niman is a jack of all trades fighting style and Appius can struggle against opponent's that are simply better with the blade than he is.
