NAME: Carver Raith

PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION
Carver is a fit Ysanna, riddled with scars from his childhood, growing up in the harsh environment of Ossus and the brutal trials he underwent as a Ysanna tribesman. His eyes are a bright hazel and he wears his hair long, pulled back often in a ponytail. He still wears the traditional masks of his tribe when wishing to be a bit more discreet.
PERSONALITY
Carver has a warm personality. He wishes to trust others, but initially has little trust for strangers. Carver is superstitious and a bit of an anachronism in many mindsets. He has no trust of droids and automated systems, preferring to do the work himself. He will never buy from a droid or trust a droid to repair his ship. While he does not hate them, he does not trust them. The only exception to this rule is his astrogation droid, but he does not see the droid as a companion in any way--more like a competent hireling.
Carver possesses the personality that would resemble a Native American brave: courageous, traditional, and set in his ways. Once trust is gained, that individual will have a loyal companion for life. He is quite comfortable and confident in the outdoors, but seems a bit more nervous when in large cities. He will often depend on others navigating those places.
ABILITIES
Gifted Pilot
It took years for Carver to warm up to the modern era’s technology. In fact, it wasn’t until he piloted his first starship that he truly began to embrace the technology available to him. What Carver discovered was an absolute love of flying. While he does not understand the intricacies of how to repair his starship or the science behind it, he does understand how to pilot quite well.
Trained Outdoorsman
Primitive in many ways, Carver was taught to track, move quietly, hunt prey, live off the land, identify plants, read weather signs, understand creature behaviors, swim, climb, navigate outdoor terrain, etc. Although most of the techniques are primitive, it means that not a lot of technology is needed for this skill to be effective. His application of these skills in an urban setting are severely diminished.
Bend It Like Beckam
While the Ysanna tribe are a force sensitive people, they have lost touch with the Jedi ways. It is seen more as minor magic and gifts of the land. There is one ability that the Ysanna have developed, cultivated and taught for millennia, which is the ability to guide projectiles. Curving trajectories of slugs and missile-like objects that are fired has been a practice of the Ysanna tribe for centuries and is what separates their people from other other force-users. Carver has developed this tradition of his people with above average proficiency. He still continues to develop this ability.
BIOGRAPHY
Carver Raith was raised in the Ysanna Tribe on Ossus. Primitive in many ways, the tribe has kept to themselves for a century now, following the collapse of the First Order. They have stayed out of the galaxy’s eye for some time, fearing that the Galactic Empire would come for them due to their sensitivity to the Force. Carver was the only son among three older sisters. He learned quickly that he would have a challenging upbringing. His father pushed him to become a proficient hunter and provide for the family. At a young age, Carver was often sent on his own to hunt the dangerous wilds of Ossus. As was tradition, Carver was taught the art of “bending” projectiles. This was a facet of his upbringing that Carver loved. He often would target practice, trying to see just how far he could push that “guidance” using the force.
As a teenager, his village was visited by a merchant that sold the village goods, specifically ammunition. It was a new face, so the villagers were skeptical of the stranger. Alas, he seemed nice enough and Carver’s father made the deal. As the transaction was completed and the deal was done, the father seemed to feel uneasy about the man and asked the merchant to stop. Without time to react, the trader wheeled on Carver’s father and shot him dead. The stranger quickly took off and was never seen again. It was a time of great grief for Carver, who looked up to his father. The youth was frustrated there was no recourse for criminals preying on villages such as theirs. It was then that Carver determined then and there that he would do his part in protecting fringe villages and settlements like his.
Taking the next transport off of Ossus, Carver left to apply to the Sector Rangers. This was the first time he had ever left Ossus and the first time for any sort of space travel—he was hooked. He fell in love with the sensation of flight. With his skills in marksmanship and his tracking skills, Carver was accepted into the Sector Rangers and has been with them for a few years now…
MOTIVATION
Carver is driven to protect the underdog. In most cases, these are villages and settlements in the galaxy where they cannot protect themselves. As a Sector Ranger, Carver feels he can help people in those situations.
