PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION
Dangal possesses a striking physique. He is tall, standing at a full six feet and three inches. This considerable height makes him stand out in any crowd. His build is lean but strong, characteristic of an athlete. Much of his physical presence comes from his height alone. Despite his stature, Dangal often adopts a relaxed posture. He tends to slouch, his head tilted forward. This posture reflects his easygoing nature. His hair is a vivid white. It is cut in a choppy style. The strands fall forward, obscuring parts of his face.
They reach just below his nose. His nose is small and has a pointed shape. Dangal's skin is remarkably clear. It appears healthy and well-maintained. This clarity of skin highlights the shape of his head, which is oval. His skin's fairness makes him sensitive to temperature changes. Even slight shifts in the weather can cause his nose to turn red. This reaction visibly bothers Dangal. He finds the redness quite irritating.
Dangal's eyes are relatively small. Their pupils are a deep, dark black. When he focuses intently on an opponent, his gaze can be intense. This focused stare can project a somewhat intimidating presence. It can seem almost menacing. This impression is in stark contrast to his usual calm disposition. He generally maintains a composed demeanor. However, his sharp, dark eyes can betray a fiercer spirit when provoked or challenged. This contrast between his relaxed posture and his intense gaze creates an interesting duality in his appearance.
INVENTORY
Gear: Jedi Robes, NJO Utility Belt, Blue Lightsaber

PERSONALITY AND BELIEFS
Dangal is confident, disciplined, and courageous — the kind of Jedi who leads from the front and speaks plainly. Yet beneath the surface lies a depth of empathy that makes him a beloved mentor. He believes the Jedi are protectors first, warriors second, and symbols always. He carries the burden of leadership quietly but heavily.
He possesses a core conviction that will not permit wrongdoing to stand unchecked. His commitment to his principles is absolute. Dangal presents himself as resolute, unbending, and unwilling to compromise his deeply held beliefs. This steadfastness can make him appear rigid to outsiders. Despite this unyielding exterior, a fierce and protective loyalty burns within him for the select few he allows into his inner circle. He would readily place himself in harm's way to safeguard these cherished friends, a testament to his deep bonds, even as he chooses to cultivate such connections sparingly.
He exhibits an extraordinary ability to disregard the mistakes of others. His attention remains firmly fixed on discovering solutions. This method continues despite his underlying skepticism. Nevertheless, his memory is notably acute. He does not overlook previous misdeeds or actions. Rather, he has the capacity to adjust his interactions with people. He learns how to effectively handle relationships. This often entails maneuvering around past problems instead of addressing them head-on. At times, he may project an impression of being reserved or enigmatic.
This fosters a sense of mystery surrounding him. This perception is heightened when he starts to speak softly to himself. He recognizes that others may perceive this as odd. Currently, he is motivated by a strong aspiration. He seeks to enhance his bond with the force. This is aimed at augmenting his overall strength. In pursuit of this objective, he strives to articulate his thoughts more openly. He endeavors to communicate more candidly than he has in the past.
STRENGTHS
Tactical Brilliance - Dangal is an exceptional strategist, adept at anticipating multiple moves ahead in both combat and diplomacy. His tactical choices during various conflicts preserved numerous lives while ensuring minimal Jedi losses.
Master Duelist - Dangal is highly skilled in lightsaber combat, especially in Form V (Shien/Djem So), which prioritizes strength and accuracy. His expertise enables him to dominate most adversaries while still restraining himself to prevent unnecessary injury.
WEAKNESSES
Emotional Attachment to the Outer-Rim - Dangal has a deep personal connection to the frontier worlds, especially the oppressed. This attachment can cloud his judgment, making him take reckless risks for the sake of others.
Curiosity Towards Forbidden Knowledge - His interest in understanding the dark side — not using it, but studying it — is controversial. While it helps him recognize and counter dark forces, it walks a dangerous edge and makes him a target of suspicion. Some Jedi believe this curiosity could be a gateway to corruption, even if Dangal insists otherwise.
HISTORY
Dangal Olderem was born in the city-world of Brentaal IV, the offspring of a freighter pilot and a dockworker. His connection to the Force first manifested when, at the age of seven, he instinctively prevented a bulk freighter crane from crashing onto a group of workers. A Jedi Knight, who was investigating corruption on the planet, witnessed this event and subsequently took him to Coruscant. The Jedi knight took a liking into the child and here is where Dangal's journey started in learning the ways of the force.
His training was demanding — Dangal faced challenges early on with feelings of anger and pride. It was his mentor, Master Ki-Lera (a Twi'lek historian and Jedi Seer), who imparted the importance of patience and humility. Thalos evolved into one of the most skilled duelists of his generation, yet he never permitted his abilities to overshadow his purpose. He became renowned for safeguarding frontier systems against pirate collectives and Force cults that exploited the vulnerable. His blue lightsaber became a symbol of hope and determination. To the outer colonies, he was simply referred to as "The Blade of Brentaal."
