NAME: Ruzaan Kai
FACTION: Jedi Order
RANK: Padawan
SPECIES: Togruta
AGE: 17 standard years
GENDER: Male
HEIGHT: 5'3" (top of head), 5’8” (including montrals)
WEIGHT: 120lbs
FORCE SENSITIVE: Yes, currently in training with the Jedi Order. Ruzaan has studied for over four years at this point.

APPEARANCE:
Ruzaan is a slender Togruta, standing 5’8” and weighing around 120lbs. He has crimson colored skin and warm gray eyes. His montrals, which add four inches to his perceived height, are white with azure stripes, ending a couple inches below his shoulders in the front and reaching about halfway down his torso in the back. Like all Togrutas, Ruzaan has unique markings on his forehead, cheeks, and chin; Ruzaan’s markings are white. He wears dark brown Jedi robes with a few forest green accents.

ATTRIBUTES:

Strengths: Compassion, loyalty, resiliency

Weaknesses: Self-doubt, Impulsiveness

Ruzaan’s greatest strengths, namely, his abundance of compassion and desire to see the best in those around him, also constitute his greatest weaknesses; he can be overly trusting of others (especially once he has gotten to know them), and he lacks the combat skills needed to effectively deal with those who are hostile towards him. His adaptation of Form III (Soresu) has improved over the years. Ruzaan has a strong moral compass, but that heightened sense of self-awareness sometimes leads Ruzaan doubting himself and his abilities, which in turn clouds his connection to the living Force. Admittedly, he's also a bit of a klutz. Although Ruzaan is not great with technology, he is beginning to learn the ins and outs of some basic systems.

PERSONALITY:

Ruzaan prefers being a follower to a leader, and is happiest when working as part of a team. His attitude is generally cheerful and Ruzaan rarely expresses negative emotions, although this can sometimes be unhealthy for him if he does not allow himself to process those emotions. Ruzaan has a need to be liked by those around him and can take even well-meaning critiques to heart; betrayal is particularly hurtful as Ruzaan strives to be compassionate and understanding of everyone he meets. Ruzaan enjoys serving others and does not understand those who are motivated by more selfish means, even as he entreats them to consider the consequences of their actions. Ruzaan is still growing into the responsibilities of being one of the more senior Padawans.

BIOGRAPHY:

Born and raised on the Togrutan home planet of Shili, and from his tribal upbringing Ruzaan developed a strong sense of community and teamwork, as well as an appreciation for nature. Ruzaan wasn’t discovered or trained as a Force-sensitive until he was a teenager, in part due to his tribe’s nomadic nature and in part due to oversight (as Force-sensitivity is found far more often in females of his species than in males). Ruzaan was taken to the Jedi Temple on Yavin IV at age 14 and began his studies to become a Jedi.

SKILLS:

Ruzaan is fluent in Basic and Togruti, having received instruction in both as a part of his upbringing. He knows a basic form of sign language that can communicate basic concepts and information, but this is not well-suited for conversations. He is also proficient in Wilderness survival (including tracking) and is known to move quite stealthily when needed. Ruzaan also has good relative pitch which, when combined with his vocal dexterity (thanks to his fluency in Togruti), allows him to passably mimic many sounds that he hears. Ruzaan’s Togrutan montrals allow for a heightened sense of spatial awareness especially when outdoors; however, this sense is significantly dampened when in space, much to Ruzaan’s dismay. His preferred fighting style is the defensive-minded Soresu (Form III), and he has been working hard to master the form.

DROIDS:
R1-NT, or “Runt”, is an ornery R1-series astromech droid based on Yavin IV. R1 is dark grey with faded yellow highlights and chipped paint from decades of service. R1 took Ruzaan under his manipulator arm when the Togruta first arrived at the temple on Ajan Kloss. Sensing Ruzaan’s inexperience with all things technological, R1-NT made it their personal mission to teach Ruzaan the basics of technology, with only limited success thus far. Nonetheless, R1 dutifully shows Ruzaan the ins and outs of modern technology, leaving many to wonder why the cranky droid has taken such a liking to Ruzaan. Some posit that R1 enjoys repeatedly zapping Ruzaan with their manipulator arm when the Togruta inevitably makes mistakes, but others point to the fact that Ruzaan’s delight at R1’s functions and presence- despite the R1 series being essentially obsolete- is good for the droid’s self-esteem. Whatever the case may be, Ruzaan enjoys the droid’s presence and is capable of understanding (and even mimicking) some of the droid’s antiquated droidspeak. R1 would scoff at the idea that they “belong” to Ruzaan, but is willing to begrudgingly accompany the Togruta if needed.
