---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES:
* Heightened Health
Most notably an advantage over Arkanian Offshoots; Artorias does not have the reduced lifespan or an incredibly weak immune system. Factors that came about due to her birth rather than creation as a result of experiments; it comes as no surprise that her connection to the Force furthers this.
* Heightened Physique
As one would expect from the rigorous training of the Jedi, as well as one's connection to and the active use of the Force, she is stronger and faster than average. Her endurance and stamina is nothing to be scoffed at, either. Though not limitless in any of these fields, it's enough to make her a solid Jedi if applied appropriately.
* Technological Smarts
Inherited from her Arkanian side, Artorias has a strong technical know-how. Affording her the capabilities to make sure that her tech is running well. From forging Lightsabers to Droid and Ship maintenance. It's not an unlimited, perfect knowledge, but she'll at least be better equipped to handle the situation and observe what's wrong.
* Infrared Sight
A trait from her Arkanian half. She can in fact see on the Infrared Spectrum, which would allow her to see in the dark. But the usefulness of this could wildly vary. She already has the Force, which would let her perform most of the same feats. This does afford her some precious moments of concentration that she would otherwise have to dedicate to lack of sight... But a Lightsaber can just as well light up her surroundings. Neither a particular strength or weakness, as it is situational at best.
* Ack! It's the Sun!!
Pure white skin is not good for dealing with a sun and it's ultraviolet rays. And some of those bloody planets even have two! TWO!! Sheer madness, I tell you. Regardless, her skin can burn easily if left exposed to the sun. Meaning she needs to take great care with it. Generally she tries to cover up with her robes, and uses the Force when that fails. Suffice to say, she prefers being inside. Where she doesn't have an army of suns trying to assault her defenseless skin.
* Limited Understanding
Let's be frank; she has a fair grasp on the Force because of constant study. She can likely figure out why your Lightsaber has an unstable blade where the slightest tap causes it to deactivate, she may be able to figure out why the Ship's engines are only running at half efficiency. And she may even be able to determine how to fix the fact that your Protocol Droid is using it's portable flamethrower on EVERYTHING around it, including you... But she doesn't have cultural understanding, or how to conduct herself around others.
Simply put. Humans and Arkanians she knows. Everything else, she has no idea what to expect of them, or what might be expected of her. She may as well be learning something new every day due to her mostly sheltered life. A particularly volatile mix if she were to wander into a dangerous area. Mos Eisley, anyone?
APPEARANCE:
Artorias stands at a fairly impressive 6'3" and it becomes evident that she still has a bit of growing to do; though not much more than what she's already standing at. She is physically fit, though not particularly muscular. Her hair is a silver color, and in light can appear as if a pure, bright white. Her skin stands as a somewhat less strong comparison to her hair, but nonetheless 'pale as a ghost' is an alarmingly fitting description.
Despite this, she does not appear to be unhealthy, though when making trips outside she tends to favor a set of robes backed with a cloak with a hood. Her eyes are blue, carrying a minute, almost unnoticeable glow to them. In lowlight scenarios, one can faintly see the glow of her eyes, and actively using the Force causes this glow to intensify just slightly.
BIOGRAPHY:
Artorias was born the daughter of a Human Male and Arkanian Female. History showed that the combination of Arkanian and Human blood through genetic experimentation stated that such an offspring would have an overwhelmingly weak immune system, and a lifespan not even reaching half of either of the purebred races. It was for this reason that Arkanian Offshoots were not sustainable. Artorias on the other hand, was not the result of such an experiment. Just the result of a couple that loved each other. Initial concerns were had, but even as she was born, it became apparent that she was healthy. If the child had a weak health, then it surely would not have survived it's early years. As she grew, it seemed that Artorias's health would be stable, much to the relief of her parents.
Her childhood was what one could expect, her family was not rich or particularly powerful, but they could afford a comfortable living. Despite her higher health, Artorias tended to spend most of her time inside. As she shied away from the sun and it's harmful rays. Though she was healthy, she would always have to be mindful of what that could do to her skin. It wasn't as if she didn't have any room to run and play, but it did mean that she didn't meet very many people. So her hobbies mostly boiled down to reading various books and dabbling a little bit into tinkering with technology. Nothing stand out amazing, but she had an aptitude that was well suited to the task.
While still rather young, she exhibited a few unexpected traits. Mostly when emotionally shaken, or in moments of intense focus. Things that could be written up to coincidence. Like when she tripped, and one instant seeming like she would hit the ground hard, and the next she managed to make her footwork stable. But perhaps the single definitive moment was when she was reaching for something belonging to her and, instead of reaching all the way and grasping it in the normal fashion... It met her halfway, floating into her grasp.
As a child with imagination, she almost didn't pay any mind to it. Almost. But it did surprise her. It surprised her parents too, for that to happen it only meant one thing. So, they took her to The Order of the Silver Jedi. Not fully believing that she held a connection to the Force, but if there was any way to be sure of it, they had the means to test for such a thing. Of course, it was proven that Artorias did in fact have such a connection. A fairly strong one, but nothing unusual. It was determined that this played a part in her health.
The decision fell to her parents and ultimately, Artorias herself. She was eager to learn more about all of this, who wouldn't be? So the arrangements were made. She would become an Initiate of the Order. A few more years passed as she became accustomed to using the Force, wielding a Lightsaber, and attaining a proper rank; Jedi Padawan. Although she had no Master yet, she had come far from the kid that could pull small objects into her hand by sheer luck. But she had even further to go. Still, it wasn't a bad start to her days as a Jedi.
Focusing her studies on Form III - Soresu and Form V - Djem So, as well as the standard force abilities that one would expect to learn. Her day of becoming a Padawan also awarded her a ship; a YT-2400 Light Freighter. An older ship model, but a reliable one. The only question that came to her mind was... What to do now? Thus bringing us to present day.
