Character Snapshot (Adept Draca Zul)
Ranger Ria'd Stesca
Ria'd Stesca is a typical Zabrak. Tall, lean and an impressive specimen to gaze upon.
He possesses the trademark cornial horns typical to his species, of which there are seven small ones dotted about over his scalp and over his hairless head. He is curiously devoid of the facial and body tattoo's the Zabrak don in their warrior culture. His skin tone is light, again, uncharacteristic among his yellow or red skinned bretherin.
With mystical grey eyes, along with an average body build for someone of his height that is subtly toned with muscle and a strong imperial accent, it creates a rather exotic and handsome demeanor.

Electronics
Prototype: Brotherhood-issued Syndicate Datapad
The Brotherhood-issued Syndicate Datapad is a high performance small electronic device used to store and display information with an incredibly high level of encryption. It provides access to the job boards including bounties and various other opportunities that, if accessed, will be properly assigned with relevant information downloaded to the device. It also includes access to a network of black market fences and safe houses to aid members to operate as members of the Shroud Syndicate tailored to their specific role and rank. Activating the device requires biometric scanning of the operator making it impossible to use unless in the hands of its living owner, quickly rendering itself useless after unauthorized access attempts.

Jedi General Armor
Jedi General Armor
Type:
Armor
Category:
Medium Armor
Armor Cosmetic: Loyalist Pattern
Armor Resistance Modification : Comfort Body Glove
Armor Modification: Mobility Augment
Prototype: Jedi General Armor
The Jedi General Armor is modified from trooper armor to offer significantly better protection to certain areas of the body in combat over traditional Jedi Robes, yet staying light and comfortable to allow as much freedom of movement as possible in utilizing the Force. It was worn out of necessity in times of conflict over traditional Jedi robes. Jedi General Obi-Wan Kenobi wore a modified clone armor set design during the Clone Wars including modified chest plate armor and gauntlets.
Loyalist Pattern
Jedi General Armor has been imprinted with the emblem of it's owners unit. The design is large and easy to see, implemented in such a way as to draw attention to it through changes in texture and an intelligent use of border color.
Comfort Body Glove
Jedi General Armor has been fitted with a body glove near the skin that moves moisture away from the skin and keeps Ria'd Stesca dry, helping to keep them more comfortable. This glove makes it impossible to further alter this Jedi General Armor to provide additional protections.
Mobility Augment
Jedi General Armor has added aggressive traction and metal to the footwear on this Jedi General Armor. This gives Ria'd Stesca better traction with the ground, but steps are much noisier and rougher with the ground they come in contact with.
Pendant of the Jedi Order
The Pendant of the Jedi Order is an ornate medallion depicting the emblem of the Jedi Order at its center. The outer ring of the circular medallion holds a trim design of interweaving lines, while the pendant itself hangs upon a silver chain.
Ring of Visions
The Ring of Visions is an ornate band bearing the seal of Great Jedi War XIV, awarded to all members who participated in the war.
Ria'd Stesca isn't stupid, and understands, perhaps better than most Jedi, that the Brotherhood is run by dark siders. Despite being a Jedi himself, he finds himself not bothered by them at all, and instead simply wishes to ride the waves of the Force and allow it to do what it will.
This has upon occasion put him at differences with other light sided Force users who see the dark side as an enemy that must be stopped.
Ria'd Stesca is driven by an unsatisfied urge to discover just who he is and where he came from. He was an orphaned child before becoming a Jedi, and the most he knows is he was born on Dathomir, a member of the Nightsister cult until he was rescued as an infant by the Jedi.
This need for gratification at times can often be distracting for the young man, especially when it can interrupt his duties.
If you ever have the chance to meet Ria'd Stesca, you'd probably think he was the nicest guy in the galaxy. To be fair, you probably wouldn't be wrong. Ria'd is a sensitive soul, always seeing the best in everyone he ever meets even if they don't deserve it.
He offers his kindness to the darkness held within many so that light may shine through. That's the thing about him, he cares. So much so that he just wants to do the right thing. After all, in this galaxy, if he doesn't do it, who will?
Whilst Ria'd is truly a pleasant individual, and considered a friend to many and an example of what a Jedi should be, many often see this as a means of getting what they want from him. A sad truth that he often repeats thanks to his gentle nature.
At heart, Ria'd Stesca hates conflict and will often go to great lengths to avoid it by whatever means he can. He will use his Empathy to try and calm a situation should the need arise.
This has, upon occasion, landed him in trouble when he should have jumped to action instead of being so passive.
In a battlefield situation, you will often find Ria'd Stesca on the front lines supporting his allies with a myriad of defensive Force Powers.
Abilities such as Healing, Control Self, Battle Meditation and more to support his side as best he can.
However, his emphasis on powers that help a group leaves little to be desired In a one on one confrontation, where his defensive skills merely delay the inevitable.
Truth be told, Ria'd would rather not fight if he didn't have too, he simply detests it and should he have to, he will seek to end the fight with as little harm done as possible, avoiding any at all if possible.
When in close combat, Ria'd Stesca will use a combination of his mastery in Soresu, Sokan and Sliding Hands to wear down his opponent until they tire, give up or, having no other option, ending the fight with a swift non-lethal swing of his lightsaber.
However, this style of fighting is highly defensive and is based entirely on being reactive to his opponent. His style also falters against opponent's who's stamina can eclipse his own, at which point he merely delays the inevitable.
