## **Biography**

### Early Life

Ku'ar was born on Kiffu, the only son of Kylgarr Konshi who was a highly respected figure of the Clan Konshi and Kiff Guardian. Before his birth tension between neighboring clans was at an all-time high with Kiffu Guardians fearful of the Galactic Empire's conquest on the Inner Rim. They knew the annexation of their planet was inevitable and they were planning on doing everything in their power to stop it. Kylgarr knew that once the Empire seized Kiffu the political figures and rulers of the planet were to be either imprisoned or executed. In a ditch effort to save him and his family he pledged his loyalty to the Empire giving away important information that doomed his species.

The Kiffar lost the war before it even started and it was his father's fault. Due to his traitorous actions, the planet was easily taken over but the Galactic Empire did not keep their word. Kylgarr Konshi and his wife Linné were publicly executed in front of his clan while being outed, tarnishing his name and dooming his recently born son Ku'ar to a life of exile. Orphaned, not having any parent or anyone else to provide for him, Ku'ar lived on the streets living by the skin of his teeth. Eating leftovers from the garbage or stealing from vendors. He was openly ostracised and resented for his father's actions that devastated the planet and took many lives; some even viewed Ku'ar as the traitor itself. His peers emulated their parents' hatred of him, despite not knowing why. This social isolation caused Ku'ar to crave acknowledgment and somewhere to belong.

### Act I

After finishing his preliminary training on Yavin IV he wished to join his mentor and father figure Aldin Kusarik on his journey charting the Unknown Regions with his student Breha Solo. But the Jedi had other plans for the young Padawan. Aldin was a man who always brought danger everywhere he turned and didn't want that life for Ku'ar just yet. Suggesting that he should instead join the New Order Exploratory Force tasked with finding the newest Jedi Praxeum.

Reluctantly Ku'ar would follow the wishes of his Master and signed himself up. Before departing the freighter to land on the world known as Odessen he felt a strange sensation in the Force that gripped him tightly. A vision appeared in his mind's eye of a temple clinging to rocks, with some sort of camp constructed below. In a river of water stood a woman in white-blue robes who was fair-haired. Her face was contorted in a silent scream. There were tears running down her cheeks, and her arms reaching out to him. Before the last traces of the vision faded he sensed a mystery afoot, diving into the questions that surrounded the temple trying to piece each of the puzzles together.

Ku'ar slowly found friends but a rift grew with his fellow Padawans due to his impatient and child-like nature, specifically with Vallonia Vel-Carrick who clashed opinions with the Kiffar on a daily basis. They were polar opposites with a similar upbringing but the relationship between them reached its all-time low after an incident during a sparring session where Ku'ar took the fight to the floor where he restrained and incapacitated her underneath the water. After his numerous attempts to apologize and reconcile he found no success. His attitude and hatred grew for the Atoan grew, he constantly felt anger, jealousy, and hatred. Feeling his reputation dragged through the mud after Vallonia's attempts to tarnish his name. But the first incident was merely a stepping stone as an all-out fight broke out amongst them. Vel the instigator forced him to defend himself as Ku'ar reacted to her force-push with one of his own. Konshi was a storm cloud, flickering with dangerous lightning, building the rotation that threatens a tornado. His built-up frustration overwhelmed the Padawan and sent her flying back, slamming into a wall.

## Personality

Ku'ar is a quiet and stoic individual, rarely ever speaking and often maintaining the same fierce expression on his face. One of his most notable characteristics is his tendency to bluntly say what is on his mind, causing him to come off as tactless or rude. He does not seem to be able to read people, and often takes jokes and figurative language from others literally. Despite this, it is noted that when Ku'ar does give actual praise or support, it is completely sincere as he never sugarcoats or minces his words. Due to his limited social skills from living in seclusion and being incredibly earnest, Ku'ar can appear awkward and unintentionally funny.

Before joining the New Jedi Order Ku'ar possessed a black and white mindset. Seeing the world only in terms of extremes. Categorizing people as good or bad based on their actions or his own personal experiences while not acknowledging all the grey areas in life. Deeming those as bad to be truly corrupted and tainted. Unable to be redeemed, and deserves the highest form of punishment imaginable. Being more of a downer that always expected the worse. However, since his recruitment, he has grown to be more adaptive and flexible. Living obediently through the Jedi Code, Ku'ar allows these set of rules and principles to govern his life. Though he has shown to revert back to his own habits if consumed with intense emotions.

## Powers & Abilities

### Force Powers

With his limited preliminary training at the Jedi Praxeum on Yavin IV, Ku'ar holds a general and basic knowledge of the force. Only capable of using telepathy and telekinesis.

As a Kiffar, Ku'ar possesses the naturally acquired gift of Psychometry. A force technique that allows him to acquire information about people or events associated with an object solely by touching it. This all began once he started experiencing visions caused by objects at the age of eleven. Though an innate skill, it nonetheless still required some study and practice to properly control it. With Ku'ar usually getting severe headaches or even seizures, seeing this gift as a curse or serious illness rather than a rare and powerful force ability. Though over the year the symptoms began to dwindle with the guidance and teachings from the New Jedi Order, learning to appreciate it.

(☀If gifted in Psychometry (Requires GM approval), once a day you may use the /insight command to try and read the history of an object/location. If **Force-Sensitive**, you may use it three times a day.)
