BIOGRAPHY



Journal Entry #93

The decades have not been kind to the galaxy since last I walked the starry paths away from the forests of the Homeworld; slavers sail the void with impunity, raping and reaving where they will and the cold cruelty of the Sith has once more burst into a raging inferno of war that seeks to engulf everything in their way. Contacts and friends from far-off worlds began disappearing like the village night fires in a storm, leaving the galaxy a colder and dimmer place. Still, I kept to my self-imposed exile in the Shadowlands and only emerged to stand vigil at the peak of Mount Korrokrrayyo every few years before returning to my home among the roots of the wroshyr trees. I had not yet earned my atonement and feared scarring The People with my darkness.

The Spirits had always been known to me, revealing the connections between all things and whispering guidance during my Hrrtayyk and all my adventures after. Even my name was an exultation of the Spirits, and I knew that my destiny would be to stand amongst the Elders and interpret their will. But my rrakktor, my inner fire, burned bright and I wanted to see the worlds beyond the wroshyr canopy...

I still sometimes find myself wishing I'd never left.

Early in my travels, I'd encountered a fierce Cathar spacer named Jyvani Se who leaped to my defense when an unscrupulous Toydarian tried to take advantage of my naivety to the ways of the Galaxy. She owned a... mostly legal transport venture and offered me a job as a pilot and mechanic for her ship. Jyvani taught me much about the galaxy and through her, I learned of its wonders and perils and made many friends, and not a few enemies. Then came the Salecumai job... had I only heeded the warning of the Spirits, so much might have been different.

Our contact was a Weequay pirate named Joral Tarodoka who claimed he had a shipment of rare ores he needed to be moved to a buyer in Mandalorian space without alerting the Sith. We arrived at the meeting place only to be met by Joral and a trio of Zygerrians armed with electro-whips and stun batons. Jyvani threw herself between me and the slaving scum to give me a chance to draw my bowcaster, but the whip meant to crack across my chest instead wrapped around her neck... she was dead before she hit the ground.

Everything seemed fuzzy at the time, but I can remember what happened with perfect clarity. My rage burned hotter than it ever had before, and I used that fury to twist the gifts the Spirits had given me. One slaver choked on nothing, writhing mid-air above the others like a grotesque puppet. Another was thrown away to slam into a rock before crumpling to the ground in an unmoving heap, while the last tried to run only to catch a quarrel in the back. And then I turned to Joral... I tore that man apart with my bare hands, and I used the power of the Spirits to make sure he was aware for every moment of it.

I was a Madclaw in all but name and proved myself unworthy of the power the Spirits had given me.

And so I returned to the forests of my birth and descended to the Shadowlands to atone for the darkness that had taken control of me, and there I stayed until the War came to Kashyyyk. The Galactic Alliance fought to allow my people to escape the yoke of the Sith, and so I had a duty to repay them. I joined the Starfighter Corps and was eventually approached by a representative of the Jedi Order to join their ranks.

It seemed that even if I thought I was done with the Spirits, or the Force as the Jedi calls them, they were not done with me.


PERSONALITY AND TRAITS


Kazzatobhk is loyal and headstrong Wookiee with an affable - if occasionally curmudgeonly - personality. Being older than most of his compatriots in the Alliance - and carrying the mantle of "The Old Man" with grace - Jaruut has found a quiet satisfaction in offering an understanding ear or gruff wisdom to the next generation of rebels; though he always keeps an exasperated sigh and a cuff behind the ear ready should it be needed.

Restless energy defines Kazzatobhk. His hands are always itching for some part to repair or the comforting weight of a weapon pressed against his palm, and he grows anxious at being in the same place for too long. What he first dismissed as an unnaturally strong wanderlust he now knows to be the currents of the Force, pulling him on a seemingly endless journey often for reasons that elude all understanding until after the purpose for his presence has been achieved and he feels the stirring behind his heart again.

Kazzatobhk does possess a… fondness for drink and gambling and has found himself the unofficial Master of Games aboard the Alliance cruiser he's been stationed on. Sabaac, dejarik, and chance cubes are the Wookiee's preferred games, though he also enjoys betting on podracing and shock-boxing tournaments. He, unfortunately - or fortunately, depending on how one looks at it - does not have much in the way of a Sabaac face and cannot bluff to save his life. The Wookiee reputation of being sore losers tends to help keep Kazza's credit supply growing, though those closest to him know that he's too much of a softy to ever act on that famous temper for something like a game.

Kazzatobhk, like many Wookiees, is a craftsman and spends his spare time using his claws to create jewelry and figures from wood for his fellow Rebels.

SKILLS AND ABILITIES


Kazzatobhk is a Wookiee of many talents. During his time exploring the galaxy with Jyvani he spent much of his time fixing the ships and vehicles used by the Cathar's shipping venture. He has a gift for understanding and repairing machine components; from vaporators to droids to speeders and ships, if it was mechanical Kazz could fix it. He is also a talented pilot at the controls of anything smaller than a heavy freighter - although one who prefers a steady flight as opposed to the "death-seeking acrobatics" of some of his younger squadmates. For Kazzatobhk, the feeling of his ship humming around him like a second skin has filled a void within the Wookiees heart and returned a sense of freedom and purpose that he wouldn't trade for anything.

Kazzatobhk has long been able to hear the whispered guidance of the Spirits to feel out the hearts and intentions of those around him or guide his steps on the dangerous pathways of the Shadowlands. Since beginning his training with the Jedi those whispered songs have become much clearer, and the Wookiee has learned to project his intentions and feelings towards others to be understood when a translator is not available. He has also developed an affinity with Telekinesis and, after a rather embarrassing event involving his fur catching fire, has devoted himself to learning more about energy manipulation through the Force.

Kazzatobhk is a skilled combatant, having spent over two centuries training in the use of firearms and bladed weaponry. The Wookiee prefers the freedom of movement and adaptability of the pistol since he lost his Bowcaster in the depths of the Shadowlands, though he has earned a reputation of being an absolute demon with a scattergun during boarding operations. Kazza has carried the same Rykk kerathorr he crafted in his youth and is very skilled with the strangely held blade. He also makes use of his great strength to overwhelm his opponents when engaged in hand-to-hand grappling. Since joining the Jedi Kazzatobhk has made use of a customized double-bladed Lightsaber polearm made to suit his long reach and surprising speed. Despite his great strength, Kazz prefers to defensively with his saber and has gravitated toward Soresu and Niman.

Kazzatobhk speaks several dialects of the Wookiee tongue, as well as understanding Basic and Huttese.

Droid:

QU-1P "Quip" is a 2B-series Protocol Droid belonging to Kazzatobhk, serving as his primary translator and co-pilot. Long years without a memory wipe has left the droid with a twisted sense of humor masked by saccharine helpfulness. He tends to fluctuate between overwrought fussiness and mild disregard toward Kazzatobhk depending on how well the Wookiee is keeping up on his maintenance. Quip also serves as a control valve for Kazzatobhk's gambling habit and maintaining a strict hold over the Wookiees stipend.

Ship:
The Starshrike - An unmodified Derrsel & Harch Model 710 starfighter, the Starshrike is an old and reliable workhorse - much like it's pilot.
