STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES (Required: 2 Weaknesses Minimum) :
Strength: Tarsus has been trained in various Force techniques over the decades. His zealous youth gave him the ambition needed to pursue ancient abilities and Force Powers that required years of training. Even though he is aged now, his mastery over these techniques have only deepened. Since his dedicated service to the Crusade, Tarsus has become a fierce wielder of the light, and his sage-like wisdom stretches beyond his age.
Strength: Having been groomed from an early age due to his monarchical roots, Tarsus is a very charismatic man. His smile has been known to stop conflict between others, and his voice is the perfect blend of wisdom and silk. His family's political roots go back literal centuries, and that culmination comes in the form of a man that many know to be incredibly warm and helpful. A good friend to many, Tarsus is very well-connected, especially in his current position.
Weakness: Age aside, Tarsus has never been one to wield a lightsaber well. Though his forms lack technical issue, its apparent the man simply lacks the ability to duel another with flair. Tarsus prefers to use his voice and wisdom to abate fighting, as his dueling is nothing special. Tarsus will also use his ability in the Force to disarm before pulling out his trusty green-bladed saber.
Weakness: Tarsus is older, and his physical abilities are past their prime. At this point, Tarsus must use a tiny fraction of his power daily to keep going, lest the harsh pulls of age be too much for him physically. Furthermore, though Tarsus can augment himself with the Force, the constant drain will eventually tire him out and keep him down.
APPEARANCE: A usually bespectacled man framed with white hair, the tugging of age has made it quite obvious how old Tarsus truly is. Even still, the man is quite handsome in his own way, and his voice has not lost a single shred of his warmth. Tall and somewhat lanky, the sage is usually dressed in his ceremonial robes that show both his position in the crusade, and the absolute wisdom that can come from him. Rarely, when the day is somewhat over, and the sun is starting to set on whatever planet he finds himself on, Tarsus can be seen with a walking stick that he leans heavily on.
BIOGRAPHY:
Tarsus was born to a minor house of royalty on Onderon, his family never rising high in the lavish courts. The house of Scipio had been home to some staggering amounts of scandal in the past, and as such, they were minor in every way that could be seen as such. Even still, Tarsus's father, Protus, was happy with his birth, and planned big things with his first-born son. Tarsus was placed immediately into a program to breed the best warriors and politicians, his entire childhood being framed from the beginning. Tarsus was practically snatched away from his family during the most important years of his life, and the academy he was placed into trained him as both a diplomat, and a scholar.
However, Tarsus lacked the ability to duel well, and as such, couldn't do well to impress his father. Furthermore, the boy had a powerful stutter that would not go away, no matter how much the mentor's attempted. Eventually, Protus' pride turned to disdain, and Tarsus was passed over for a better son further down the line. He would keep the titles of course, but he would never able to hold the family court on Onderon.
This did nothing to Tarsus personally however, as ruling as nobility was never something he wanted. Instead, his hunger of knowledge and sagely wisdom grew as he aged, his ambition knowing no bounds. Once he graduated from the academy, he took a few days to spend with the siblings he barely knew, and then was off on another adventure to grow his mind. Tarsus was put to work as a personal archivist for both the Jedi Order, and several other smaller, more minor Force organizations. It was here that he picked up on his Force sensitivity, and realized his true potential.
Once he could dip into the vast wealth of knowledge afforded to those that believed in the Force itself, Tarsus soaked up as much as he could. Reading became like breathing for him, and his mastery of the Force increased tenfold over the vast decades. Even though conflict broiled the planets, and war continued to shape the galaxy, Tarsus did nothing else but gain the most powerful wisdom he could from both teachers and older archives.
Tarsus wandered from Empire to Kingdom, absorbing any knowledge people could give him. His loyalty was always tested by these adventures, but the man eventually found faith in the Ashla itself. Once the Crusade started, Tarsus found himself on the planet of Ossus, a wonderful planet with a powerful and rich history. Pushing himself into the clergy, Tarsus' rose fast in the ranks of the Crusade, and now finds himself the Archbeacon of Ossus itself.
What is next for the sage is unknown, as the Crusade marches on...
