This short, athletically-built creature is a Sullustan, with pink skin, big mouse-like eyes, jowls, scarns, and large, rounded ears; but it's hard to tell from his bizarre manner of dress. At all times, Alishu wears a heavy, hooded robe that obscures most of his features, the rest covered by a set of black face wraps, foot wrappings, gloves, and a body suit; but most distinct of these items is a pair of protective goggles with glowing orange-yellow lenses.
Armory Vibro Sword.
Alishu is just a little guy, standing at just 1 meter tall (3 ft 3 in) and 19.1 kilograms (42 lb). About the size and weight of a child, Alishu doesn't command much respect, and is even unable to properly reach the controls of most vehicles. However, because of his small size, he often gets a pass where other, taller people wouldn't, both socially ("He's just a kid, so it's fine") and physically (can fit through small spaces).
Alishu is always moving and can't seem to stay still. He paces incessantly, to the point of annoying those around him, hardly sitting for anything; when in groups, he often finds himself alone and ahead of everyone else; and when in motion, his movements are almost cat-like, always choosing the shortest distance between two points, even if it means spinning around or leaping over an obstacle (such as an opponent's weapon!), or almost rubbing up against a wall as he cuts a hallway corner. A lifetime of these strange habits have made Alishu very graceful in his movements, in and out of combat, flowing from one step to the next.
Alishu's time on the Dark Path has scarred his mind, making him prone to easily triggered fits of negativity. When these seemingly irrational fits are at their most severe, Alishu cannot help but appear and act distressed, overwhelmed by emotions such as anger, depression, and fear. This madness fills Alishu's daily life with confusion and constant mental agony, but serves to deeply strengthen his ties to the dark side.
"Separate from desire", this ancient Sith philosophy dictates that the adherent will find greater success when their actions align with their 'needs' and not just their 'wants'. Alishu has taken this philosophy to its logical extreme, and will not do anything without first procuring a reason as to why he needs to do it. If he does find a reason, he'll do that thing with all of his heart, body and mind. And if he doesn't find a reason, he simply won't do it at all, often to the detriment of himself, and the chagrin of others.
When in combat, Alishu merges the arts of Shyarn-ado with Stava. His stance is that of Stava's; facing the opponent head on; while incorporating the fluidity of Shyarn-ado, his weapon off to the side as he bounces on one foot. His strikes are acrobatic, precise, powerful, quick, evasive, and misleading, but always efficient and practical. His defense mixes both arts, focusing on constant motion, dodging and body-weaving to evade, using the blade to parry if necessary. His movements are natural and flowing, economical, and used to confuse an opponent and set up the next avenue of attack, often coming from odd-angles. This style is unorthodox and almost never on its back foot; constantly pressing the attack; but it suffers if Alishu's speed is hampered.
Raised in the ways of the Obelisk order, and taught in the art of ground war and personal combat since his birth. Alishu is at peace around fellow Obelisk adherents and at home when fighting on the ground, but he tends to be a bit distant around those who identify as Sith or Krath and somewhat lost when it comes to the ship-to-ship battles of space warfare.
