BIOGRAPHY


Since the moment I joined the ranks of the Jedi I have been living a life of contradictions.

I am Echani; scion of a culture born in combat, the warrior tradition flows within my veins and my heart beats in-time with the war drums of my ancestors. From the moment I could stand on my own I was trained to fight, to use my body as an extension of my will with warblade in hand. All of my life I have looked for understanding of people and the galaxy around me through the eyes of a warrior… but now I am something more. Something I never thought possible.

A Jedi.

A Jedi uses the Force for defense, never to attack. A Jedi is a Guardian of Peace. A Jedi does not feel fear, or anger, or hate. A Jedi is a symbol of hope.

I joined the Alliance to bring the fight to the Sith. I feel fear for the helpless innocents caught beneath their heel, anger at the atrocities they commit and hate for those who enact them. Combat makes me feel alive, it's the bedrock of all that I know.

How do I balance who I am with what I'm now supposed to be?


PERSONALITY AND TRAITS

Yusaris is a headstrong and proud warrior that finds comfort and purpose in his duties as both a member of the Alliance and as a Jedi Padawan. Like many Echani he does not have patience for the niceties and double-speak of politics; he is very direct and deliberate in what he says and even more so in the unspoken words behind the actions he takes. He also has a righteous heart, having left his homeworld to seek out the Alliance following their reveal to the Galaxy at Corellia. The Echani culture in him seeks honor and expression through battle, but he personally cannot abide the cruelty and injustice perpetrated on the innocents of the Galaxy by the Sith and hopes to see them defeated.

Behind the mantle of righteous duty, however, is a young man with a wicked sense of humor that enjoys drinking with companions, playing cards, chasing skirts and gathering what scraps of joy he can in a Galaxy dominated by fear and darkness. He has trouble with Authority figures that have not earned his respect through combat and often tries to challenge them to a fight in order to get their measure; something generally not well received by a non-Echani military organization. He is slow to open up toward new people, but those who get close enough will find him to be a loyal and steadfast friend.


SKILLS AND ABILITIES

Like many members of the Alliance, Yusaris has gotten used to doing more with less; repairing old or damaged ships to make them combat ready again, cobbling together support droids from scrap, making emergency fixes to keep a new base from collapsing around them. He's found himself a rather capable starship mechanic and has begun tinkering with an old combat droid. While no starfighter ace, Yusaris is also a highly capable pilot at the controls of most light freighters, combining natural talent with the improved senses and reflexes common among Force users.

War against an enemy like the Sith has forced Yusaris to learn many skills in the course of his duties, even skills he would usually view as frivolous or dishonorable. Slicing, theft, smuggling tricks - all necessary skills for fighting in a hidden Rebellion. Another is marksmanship; the sad reality is that closing to melee is not always an option, and Yusaris has found himself involved in a running gun fight more than once. The Echani is rather skilled with the blaster pistol, preferring the freer range of motion and being able to keep a hand free to manipulate terminals or use the Force. His ability with the rifle on the other hand isn't the absolute worst his drill instructor had ever seen, but his scores with the sniper rifle were abysmal.

In the Echani culture, melee and unarmed combat are the truest form of expression. From the time he could stand and walk unassisted Yusaris has been trained in the martial arts of his people. Fists, grapples, daggers, sword, staff; each style having its own cadence and language. Since becoming a Jedi he's incorporated the philosophy of Echani combat into his use of the Force, strengthening his blows, increasing his speed, and manipulating the battlefield to his advantage - though only when fighting an enemy who is similarly capable; there is no honor in defeating an enemy with powers they can never possess.

Yusaris' lightsaber is a reflection of Echani ideals and adaptability; a polearm with an adjustable/extending haft and amethyst blades, it can be used as a standard saberstaff, a long-handled lightsaber, or a pike.

Yusaris was raised speaking the Echani tongue as well as Galactic Basic. Like all Echani he is well versed in the unspoken language of combat; the poetry of movement, the flow of emotion in form, and the revelation of truth from silence. Since joining the Alliance he's also gained an ear for Shyrrrwook and Binary, and a host of curses in Huttese and Mando'a.
