GENERAL INFO Character Name Perrin Kanz Eppis Nickname Pip, Mynock Gender Male Age 18 Race Human Lorrdian Sexuality Heterosexual ------------ Occupation Adventurer, PilotMechanic Affiliation Jedi Order ABILITIES POSESSIONS Force Powers The Core The majority of his understanding of the core of force skills attributed to the Jedi his training at the Axion Academy and self-discovery. The ability to sense through force is one he is most familiar with as it is normally the ability that awakens in most sensitives when they are young. For some it manifests in an awareness of life around them and others a form of sight that allows them to focus on specific individuals. It is also an awareness of time and space becoming the root to other skills of farsight and precognition. It is the reason force user is prone to vision especially in their sleep. Force Sense however is much more than that as it is how Jedi communicate their will through the Force itself. He is not an expert of this power and has a very limited control on it as an ability. Perrin has trained himself enough for it to be ambient. Force Speed is the ability in which a sensitive empowers their forms with the force to accelerate their motion, enhance their movement, and even hasten their mental faculties. This can come at a large cost to the user depending on how heavily it is relied on. It has through action of less resilient minds lead to permanent impairment and death. Force Concealment was a power that was used by highly skilled Force-sensitives to mask their Force alignment Light or Dark, their ability to use the Force, or even their entire presence from other Force sensitives. Neither of these powers is of particular focus for Perrin. He is aware of them but of the core they are his weakest skills. It is not commanded at will and may only emerge out of dire need without further training and understanding. Telepathy was the very basic ability to mentally communicate over small or vast distances with other individuals. Every Force user, Jedi or Sith, was able to use it. The range of telepathy itself is theoretically infinite, but the telepath must be able to sense the presence of those they wish to contact. It usually manifests in forms of mental images and empathic imprints between individuals. It has allowed Jedi to gain impressions of individuals in order for them to tell whether they were lying or determine their disposition. While communication through language is not impossible even Masters have been only able to send five word sentences at time to one another. It is a priceless tool and one Perrin has focused on to give himself insight in matters of trade and in piloting. He is considered well trained in this Force Ability. Telekinesis is an ability that most Force-sensitives possess. With it, they can lift objects according to their concentration and move them, levitating the items in any direction. Depending on ones skill they could gauge their control and finesse to lift, pull, throw, and hold objects in midair. The specially trained have shown expertise of balancing multiple actions at once demonstrating the ability as the most visual and fantastic of the Core powers. It is a power that has been utilized in both combat and defense especially against other sensitives allowing the user to recoil another enemies push or throw in a contest of raw affinity and skill. This is the most natural of the core for Perrin even though he understands only the very basics. His affinity for special awareness is a boon that allows him to lift and control moderately sized objects. He has yet to learn how to lift more intimidating sized objects such as fighters or large pillars with expertise, but with time and training one can be sure it will come to him. Innate Powers Force Comprehension is the ability to absorb and interpret great quantities of information rapidly by speeding up the user's neural processes. Comprehension required that the user possess at least a basic knowledge of the topic he was attempting to learn. Without this knowledge the user would simply speed up his neural processes and exhaust himself. Many Force users were wary of this ability, since on occasion knowledge learned at such a fast pace elicited strong emotions in the user. Therefore, the technique was not commonly used by the Jedi. But force comprehension found little favor with the Sith as well, simply because they did not have to worry about strong emotions, and preferred more primal methods of learning. For these reasons, Force comprehension was considered to be a universal power. For Perrin it was a natural power born with him and assumed to be inherited from force sensitive ancestors in his lineage. It would be untrue to say he has a mastery but it is foolish to not realize his specialization in this ability. Force Comprehension is a prominent proponent for his technical understanding. Psychometry is a Force power being the mental technique of picking up impressions and traces of information about an object when touched and the events that have surrounded it. This power allows the user to view events as if they were there, including the sights, sounds, and feelings, both emotional and physical, that the wielder of the object experienced. This power was easier to use on personal objects that were used frequently. Objects that were used once or by several people often made the use of this power difficult, but it is still possible. This skill is useful for tracking though it was not useful in open battle and can fail to render useful information at times. Much like the Kiffar this was another ability born to Perrin, yet never honed in the conventional sense. He has only ever used the ability to glimpse images off of objects. Most notably those items that are broken in order to understand what they once were. The utility of the power is not one that is normally acknowledged and is drawn upon by instinct forming a static imprint of what an object once was in his mind. With training and further understanding of the power he may be able unlock the true potential, for the moment it is limited to simple visual impressions. Lightsaber Forms Form I Shii Cho is the essential training form for all Jedi duelists. Lacking the finesse of later forms the raw and fluid based techniques served well in training younglings and padawans the basics of handling a lightsaber. Putting emphasis on deliberate action and tactics this was also a form many trained Jedi fell back on. Shii-Cho was specialized towards engaging multiple opponents, the wide, sweeping motions being ideally suited towards attacking numerous adversaries while it found a weakness in single opponent combat, where a more mobile opponent could capitalize on the clumsy bladework of the form. Nonetheless it a form of foundations and is versatile in an adept practitioner. For Perrin lightsaber combat has never been a specialty and is one of the fields of training in which he struggles. Proficiencies STRENGTH Strengths Technology, Ships, Engineering, Crafting, Piloting, Bartering, Multilingual, The Force Some would call him a prodigy in the extent he seems to be able to understand most things thrown at him in a technical nature. This however would be wrong as his understanding is limited to the knowledge at his disposal. Yet a life spent around engineers and starships will breed a sense of mental reflex when it is necessary for survival. Though what makes it all remarkable is his youth. Yet it is not surprising for one who has a high affinity and born relationship to the Force whether he understands what that means or not. Perrins abilities shape around his focus with all sorts of technology orbiting his influences it is no wonder he is one of the brightest Technopaths to emerge from the Irkalla System. As a pilot he was considered by many from the Beta-34-Sigma Station that he called home a valuable asset. While hardly ever tasked with the larger freighters he has made a living flying smaller transport vehicles and repair pods. Trained by his father to traverse space he picked up off his experience and in turn dedicated himself to the art of piloting. What has been at his disposal when it comes to living on a transitory service station could be considered trash. Yet many species have made a living off of turning scraps and broken components into working machines. This has been a worthwhile skill that is bred from his nigh innate understanding of technology. Crafting as a skill set has allowed him to adapt spare components and even re-utilize blueprints into improved versions. What he has crafted he his father and himself have travelled to Irkalla to sell on the trade market. He has become something of a witty businessman in that regard, very difficult to shake down or manipulate prices on. Multilingualism comes natural for any spacer and apart from Basic he is fluent in Binary, Bocce, and Huttese. Now to say that Perrins skills and affinities are not driven by something special and innate would be wrong. He is not a natural prodigy as much as he is disciplined. This is an important quality to all Force Sensitives being that he has inherited his tie to the Force he is no different. His understandings of the all-encompassing energies that shape and influence the universe are limited to tales and what information the Axion Academy has given him. In this Perrin is still growing as a student of the force but shows great promise of control under the right instruction. This is both a strength and weakness as much as being a sensitive comes with its own weaknesses such as over reliance and peak sensitivity to his surroundings. This has not become much of an issue yet, but he has also not been put in a situation to develop these points. As a force sensitive this gives him gifts beyond those of normal beings. Because of this even the most fatal of flaws would not take away how great of a boon the force is. WEAKNESS Weaknesses His curiosity, attractive near-human women, puzzles, strategic games, competitive pride, thirst for knowledge, anything that afflicts humans. What could be a sentient beings greatest ally and most treacherous friend? Its curiosity. For Perrin this comes in spades as much of his life has been built upon understanding that which baffles others. Machines and all sorts of questions riddle his mind. While he can find answers sometimes it is best not to know. Curiosity has a tendency of playing fool to ones emotions and placing them in undesirable positions. Most trouble comes from a persons inability to let the unknown stay unknown. For better or worse Perrin is the most willing to toss a torch into the darkness to see what waits on the other side. It takes an incredible amount of will power for him to resist learning about something that he desires to know. Though what mortal knows not of temptation? If it is not for knowledge it is something more physical and corporeal. Women of human like feature and nature bait the wonder of Perrins youth. While he restrains to be proper and show respect his eyes may be led by a compelling figure. Most overtly attractive near-human women have the effect of distraction upon his mind. While it is not a weakness that can be overruled it is basic biology on his part. Among other distractions come puzzles and strategic games that give his curiosity the physical grounds to manifest and be proven. While does not seek for glory if it should arise he is hard pressed to deny a moment to show his worth. It is pride the greatest venom among men that stains his desires. He knows far better than most what it means to be humbled by it. Pride can breed confidence and with confidence a lapse of judgment is born. The flaw in and of its self is harmless, but all actions that echo from it can be dire. As a human being no amount of training in the force will change in inevitable fact that there is no true immunity death or undesirable circumstance. Perrin can do his best his best to avoid an early grave and defy the natural course of his biology, but he will still be susceptible to disease and fatality. Not much can be done to overrule this, but there is more than that which can inhibit him. Spores, parasites, and other stellar species have ways to influence and ensnare near-human and humanoid species. One is not simply immortal and for the boy like each man a time will come where he must return to the Force. Possessions Weapons DL-44 heavy blaster pistol, Portable Cutting Laser Items Engineers Tool Belt, Glow Rods, Flash Goggles, Grappling Spike Launcher, Datapad, Jedi Datacron Ship Toscan 8-Q Starfighter Droid R3-T6 Astromech Droid Twitch Lightsaber Basic Blue Training Blade APPEARANCES Play-By Chris Zylka Description Perrin is a lithe figure male figure with peach toned skin and a moderately toned physique. There are no real noticeable marks upon him aside from the small scars and scrapes from his profession as a ship engineer. Because of this work he tends to lead a very active lifestyle keeping him spry and flexible. He is noted for a strong angular chin that is bolder than it is pronounced and high cheek bones which help to emphasize his hazel eyes. Usually he wears his honey blonde hair loose and with length keeping his bangs pushed back with a band or visor of some sort. ---Clothing Perrin is usually adorned in an outfit accustom to spacers from the deep spaces of the Kanz Sector. A dark navy colored long sleeve workers turtleneck, a scarfrag around the neck, some tan spacer slacks, service boots, and a typical plain brown leather Bomber Jacket. But one cannot blame the boy for adapting this attire to his own sense of fashion as he tends to always keep his flash goggles on his head and his tool belt about his side. He tends to also make patches for his jacket from clothe insigniasmarks he finds about. PERSONALITY Description Perrin or as most of his close admirers call him Pip is a bright lad. While not anything remarkable or terribly fantastic Perrin is well a well-rounded individual with a knack for understanding how things work on a mechanical level. Because of this he has always been a handy person to have around to which he usually glad to assist. He is what you would call a do-right a person with a strong moral code who has a hard time not following that gut feeling when something is amiss. This usually leads him into trouble but even when a problem is daunting he has enough willful courage to see it through to the end. Even when the outcomes are not favorable. Because of his life on a security service station in the deep space of the Irkalla System he hasnt traveled much. Though what he lacks in worldly exploration he makes up in his empathy for cultures. Being a service station engineer he works on an assortment of peoples ships and helps calibrate their navigation charts. Perrin finds himself almost always able to read and guessitimate another persons emotions through body language. It is part of his Lorrdian heritage and a further extension of their kinetic communication. Because of this he tends to be among the social type even if he isnt quite the best mimic or liar. He is prone to being almost compulsively honest to most people. Though he can keep a secret as long as he avoids the subject but it takes a great effort to do so. Kind-hearted and compassionate as he may be do not let this fool you for weakness. Perrin has lived in a world under pressure and constraint. Being an engineer on a service station has made him somewhat expectant of danger. When it comes down to it his willful and driven personality makes him a tough person to break even when his nerves are stirred. This also proves a bit of a problem trying to convince him against his instincts. There is a fiery spirit underneath which can be exploited against him if he is not careful. As he tends to get carried away in the moment by those which he has focus on. This can lead to some stubborn and youth inspired petulant behavior on his part. When it comes down to it with enough push he will always do what it is right even if it means giving up something dear to him. The strongest and most fluid part of Perrins personality is his role as a student. He has a high sense of comprehension aided by his force sensitivity. He isnt remarkable in how he thinks by no means a mark of a genius, but he has patience for learning. In this Perrin may be a slower student than most but what he does latch onto tends to stick. He is very keen and almost invigorated by a challenge which breeds a love for puzzles and strategic games. This can almost derail his sense of thought or purpose if he is made aware of some sort challenge to the point where it is tempting. There is a small bit of pride and inner confidence that makes him want to succeed so he may boast. So while it may not be prominent his greatest flaw is a sense of pride which may serve to humble him in time. HISTORY Born 51 ArS After ReSynchronization in the midst of the Alliance colonies. Perrin Kanz Eppis was the first and only son of a Lorrdian Spacer named Rand who was a frequent transporter of goods around the Irkalla System. Rand would tell his son his mother was a spacer just like him and they met upon Security Service station Beta-34-Sigma in the far reaches of the system. It was the typical spacer tale of romance full of the romance and wistful heat, but as soon as Perrin was born his mother left for the stars once more never to be heard from again. But that wasnt the end of the tale for Rand who found himself work upon the service station as a ship engineer offering his expertise to the upkeep of the entire station and its docking yards. It was a meager living for some and bare bones with a new born son, but for Rand he had found the inspiration to make things work. Even if he couldnt give much Rand always provided for Perrin raising him upon this service station as a single father. He kept the boys mind alert with puzzles and games of interest. When Perrin was old enough to hold a hydrospanner Rand would begin to teach the boy the skills that defined much of his prepubescent life. He would start to walk among the other Engineers as a peer and work with them as family. Without a mother many of the workers on the station aside from the security itself had a tight community. Thus for Perrin or Pip as they called him it wasnt uncommon for him to in turn call them his aunts and uncles. There werent many other children on the station for the boy to interact with though and it did tend to get lonely. The furthest he ever got from the station was when he would ride out to market located in the Captial of Irkalla, New Secundus. From an early age however Perrin grew with another guide to him and though he was wholly unknown to its presence it moved through him. He was gifted with what many called the Force and while he wasnt a brilliant presence in the great spectrum of Force he was still within it. Much of his ability to comprehend the complex mechanical structures was born from the force and so was his intimate relationship with technology. Perrin found the energies of Force working within things that had no life of their own per say, but a small part of him was always aware of their purpose within the spectrum. As a young child he would always hear tales from the Spacers that came through. Some would tell him tales of the Jedi and the Republic of old, yet being so close to Irkalla he was more enthralled with the Alliance Pilots that served under the Military Parliament. The many dire missions the ace pilots were told to take on. He could only be honest with his fascination. When he turned 14 he came across a man who travelled to the service station dressed in unfamiliar garb even for his standards. To Perrin the way this person spoke was both strange and eloquent exposing some form of interest in him. Many of the other Engineers thought the man to be rather peculiar and strange alone, but Rand was the one whom the man approached. This left Perrin in an uneasy state as he could not hear what they were talking about yet he felt it was about him. It was eventually revealed that the individual was a Jedi Knight by the name Kelborn Thane and he was sent on behalf of the Order to find force sensitives in the system. Perrin already knew that meant him. This would mean that the Knight would take him away from his father, just as he was told from the stories, but Thane did not come with force. Instead it was Rand who would insist Perrin take this opportunity. It was a heartwrenching moment but through conversation the boy would come to realize as his father had that a life on a service station wasnt much for a child. At least through the Jedi Order he would have the opportunity to choose his direction. Following Kelborn Thane the young teen would be taken into the order and trained as a Padawan. And for four years he would study as diligently as he could. However compared to other Jedi the Masters and Knights worried about the boys passions and curiosities, with many insisting that his attachment to his father and the service station had clouded his ability to properly attune to the Lightside. And while has never shown himself drawn to the Darkside he is among a handful of Padawans that are being selectively monitored.
