Appearance

Bril Teg Arga is a Zabrak male with brown skin that has warm undertones that contrast starkly with the black tattoos that snake across it. His coffee-brown hair is arranged in small locs each woven into larger bundles and bound in a ponytail that descends past his shoulders. Seven vestigial horns poke out from his mane of hair. He has eyes of crystal blue.

Bril is only slightly taller than the average Zabrak, standing at approximately 1.9 meters. He has a muscular frame and has a lot of lean muscle that he works to maintain with regular, routine exercise.

Hyper-Aware (General Aspect)

Bril Teg Arga possessed an innate and powerful connection to the Living Force that grants him a near-constant awareness of the presence, feelings, emotions, and intentions of other beings through Force. This heightened sensitivity to living beings makes Bril Teg Arga a highly empathetic person with a great reverence for life. Whether it be to better understand his friends or family, to aid in his research, or to make him more sensitive in battle, Bril Teg Arga’s Force sense is his most cherished ability that is as common to him as breathing.

However, the constant influx of sensory information can be overwhelming if Bril Teg Arga doesn't take the time to quiet his senses until he truly needs them. Moreover, the feeling of constantly being "read" this invokes can lead to people feeling like their privacy has been invaded if they realize what Bril Teg Arga is doing.

Trust in Greater Powers (General Aspect)

Bril Teg Arga is a highly spiritual person. This manifests itself in a deep reverence for the beliefs of his Iridonian and Dathomiri ancestors, as well as trust in the Force to guide him. He often recites ancient proverbs that he's learned growing up on Iridonia. Long meditation sessions are often used to convene with his ancestors, and he often incorporate s their wisdom into his life.

Moreover, Bril's heighted connection to the Living Force has instilled a deep reverence for life within him. He believes that as a child of the Living Force, he doesn't have the right to decide whether another living being gets to live or die. His reliance on the Living Force both complements and confirms the holistic beliefs of his people because his Force senses have instilled him with an understanding of how all life is interconnected through the Living Force.

Knowledge is the Life of the Mind (Personality Aspect)

Bril Teg Arga has managed to retain the sense of wonder of his youth, which he now channels into a voracious appetite for not just knowledge but understanding. He loves learning new things, especially those things that he can put into practice or apply to other aspects of his life. His intellectually rich upbringing has instilled a love for academia and scholarship within him, which he has excelled in since joining the Brotherhood. Natural ability combined with a love for learning allows Bril Teg Arga to learn new concepts very quickly; however, his almost childlike curiosity can lead to him seeking out information that he shouldn't or that is potentially dangerous to him. This makes him more likely to get into trouble while chasing down leads for his research.

Enduring Loyalty (Personality Aspect)

Bril Teg Arga can be very protective, and when any of his friends are being bullied or threatened, he will step in to defend them. His desire to protect his friends and family gives Bril a drive to unlock greater strength and skill, allowing him to push himself to greater heights; however, this fierce loyalty to his loved ones can get Bril Teg Arga in trouble when he refuses to back down during heated exchanges, and he often blames himself harshly if he perceives himself as having failed to protect his loved ones from danger. However, because of ride-or-die mentality, his friends know that no matter what, Bril Teg Arga will be there for them.

One Style to Rule Them All (Combat Aspect)

Through careful study and dedication to isolated martial-combat, Bril Teg Arga has turned the act of dueling into an art form. Bril's dedication to combining both his hand-to-hand combat and his lightsaber combat has resulted in the creation of a style entirely unique to him. Bril has learned how to seamlessly blend both martial arts and saber dueling, often switching between them to overwhelm his opponent. The precise grappling maneuvers and submissions of Whiptree complement the highly technical, conservative forms of Makashi while the fluid and primal attacks of Teras Kasi blend well with the aggressive and fast-paced style of Vaapad.

However, all of these styles that Bril Teg Arga have combined into one are best suited against single opponents in close quarters. As such, he can have trouble mounting an effective offense when fighting groups of enemies or when those enemies are attacking from range.

Ensorcelled Roots (Combat Aspect)

Bril's reverence for and desire to preserve the teachings of his ancestors has resulted in him learning the magick of his people, particularly from Dathomir. Through the study of recondite manuscripts, meditation induced Force visions, and the procurement of ancient artifacts, he has unlocked the secrets of Shadow Magick. These abilities are often used in tandem with more traditional Force powers during combat.

Several of his Force powers, such as Suppression and Precognition, originate from his use of these esoteric abilities. When using the former, passive observers can see the green ichor used by the Nightsisters, while the latter manifests itself in the myriad voices of his ancestors who warn him of impending danger.
