Varuk is a tall Umbaran male who stands six and a half feet tall. He has sunken eye sockets with a slight tinge of pale blue surrounding his eyes, with obsidian pupils conquered by pearly-white irises. The hair atop Kru's head is cut short and devoid of any colour. This Umbaran's frame is slender and narrow, like most others of his kind, and has a well-defined jawline with no facial hair to speak of. His skin appears bright, pale white where it is free of scars, though they are quite extensive. There are several deep chest cavity burns adorning the upper half of his chest, stretching up and curling around the base of his neck. Part of the chest cavity has been partially reconstructed with cybernetics. Finally, in the place of his right forearm is a matte-black cybernetic replacement.
Varuk's experiences on both sides of the Force have taught him that it matters not if you are a follower of the light or the dark. To him, the unending cosmic force that holds everything together craves equal balance on both sides, extinguishing whatever life necessary to obtain it when that balance is upset. Although it helps sustain him, Kru despises the Force because of the wretched waste of life and to that end sees it only as a tool to be manipulated - eventually destroyed. He can follow neither side fully, using both Jedi and Sith techniques to further the ideology that the Force must come to an end.
With severe burns to his body and confinement in a suit of armor for the rest of his life, Kru experiences near constant pain. It displays itself in both physical and emotional ways, although the level of pain he experiences and which form it takes varies on a day to day basis. This endless pain, whether it be the tugging at his burned flesh by his suit or constant reminder he can never leave it, has caused Varuk to disconnect from his softer emotions. It is a constant reminder of what once was, and will forever be for the Umbaran.
Varuk has several distinct personality traits that form his being, first and foremost being a rather cynical and stoic individual, particularly in the company of or when dealing with Force-sensitives. This Umbaran is equally stubborn as he is stoic and occasionally sarcastic, going so far as to disobey minor orders to prove a point or his abilities in a given situation. These traits have him seen as subordinate and brash with superiors and friends alike - however he never apologizes for who he truly is.
During his time as Keeper of the Holocrons, Varuk was exposed to a myrid of Sith knowledge. This led him to form a deep obsession with the teachings of Sith Alchemy and Mechu-Deru. Although he does not adhere to the Sith ways, Kru finds their view of technology and manipulation of it fascinating. The obsession runs particularly deep with imbuing these Ancient Sith powers into his native Umbaran technology, as Varuk constantly seeks a way to be rid of the armor he is confined to and can often be found conducting research or tinkering with technical processes most would find unnatural and unnerving.
If Varuk Kru had been in Greedo’s shoes, Han Solo would be pushing up daisies. He almost always acts on instinct, which typically means he can be seen as impulsive and may not think his actions through, especially in situations during or leading up to combat.
Almost more machine than man at this point, Varuk is coldly detached from those around him - even during times of high stress or combat. He shows little to no external emotion, instead allowing them to boil beneath the skin and fuel his power. Unable to show affection for others, Kru seeks to manipulate them and use them for his own goals. With no qualms about ending the life of a lesser being who has crossed him, very few enemies are spared Varuk's blade and even fewer allies feel comfortable fighting under him for fear of becoming expendable to the machine.
