STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES (Required: 2 Weaknesses Minimum) :
Giant: Gnoll is massive, even for a Neti he stands nearly an entire meter above some of his brethren. The looming creature also tends to have considerable strength as a result, to the point he could tear the legs off an AT ST if he uses his full body.
Durable: In addition to the considerable size, there is that Gnoll is covered in the hard bark of his people. This makes him far more difficult to damage than most sentient organics.
Shapeshifting: Like all of his species, Gnoll is capable of changing his shape and to an extent his own size. This is something that Gnoll is quite good at and often uses to reach even greater heights than he already had. He often combines this with
Gnoll possess all general Neti abilities, including the ability to survive exclusively off sunlight and very little water, the common ability like hibernation trance, force sensitivity, highly regenerative, and considerable longevity.

Lightsaber skills:
Due to his considerable size it has been hard to actually practice lightsaber skills properly. His lightsabers tend to be so long that they simply do perform the lightsaber styles the way most would use them. This is why Shii-Cho ended up being combined with Niman. The simplistic lightsaber form was more easily adapted to the sizes of his opponents.
Shii-Cho: Master
Niman: Knight/Master
(Prefers a Shii-Cho/Niman mix)
Soresu: Knight
Shien/Djem So: Knight (looking to further skill)
WEAKNESSES:
Obviously Gnoll is very hard to miss unless he’s in a forest. His size and plantlike nature, and the rarity of his species, make Gnoll stand out considerably. Additionally, he is literally hard to miss. With such a size you don’t need to be a crackshot to aim at the Neti.
Gnoll cannot use a great deal of ships due to his size, while he can reduce his size, he does not like doing so and prefers to be his average 4.3 meters. This can cause problems when most vehicles and transports are made for beings under half that.
Gnoll has to apply his lightsaber style somewhat differently than most due to his size
Gnoll requires sunlight in the way most species require food. That means while a normal person might survive a long time out in space without the sun, as long as they have food they’re fine. Gnoll has to have access to sunlight or a stand-in or he’ll basically starve.
Sometimes can take too long to make decisions. This occasionally requires him to be ordered to do something, or it may take far too long before it gets done.
APPEARANCE:
Gnoll is a very tall humanoid looking Neti. He would appear to have a beard most of the time, however there is no certainty that anything will stay the way it is. He often has two arms, but that could change at any moments notice. Most commonly he’s over 14 feet tall with long legs and arms. He would seem to move slowly. But when you can travel a speeder length in one step, running isn’t often necessary.
BIOGRAPHY:
Gnoll Barr was never the fastest. At least, not in decision making. He could move plenty fast for his size. He preferred to sit and think on what he was going to do for a long time before he did it. Naturally, this posed some issues when things were urgent to him. It was not so much that he was lazy as it was that he didn’t feel the need to rush. While to other Neti this might be normal, this didn’t always work out in the rest of the galaxy.
But Gnoll did feel a calling, a calling that he didn’t explore until he was already 500 years old. He went to join the Jedi order, and in it he took a long time learning too. He ended up outliving his first master, an Ardennian from whom he learned most of his basics. He went without a master for several years before being taken by a kessurian who helped him get much further along. Enough to be considered a Knight before she also died.
Gnoll continued with the order for years, one day going on a trip with a fellow Knight to a far away planet to help them, as there’d been a pirate group raiding not only them but numerous nearby planets and hyperlanes. For the most part, it went well, they took down or captured dozens of the pirates but on the way out the pirates released a bomb, killing his fellow knight and injuring Gnoll who crawled away from the site.
He eventually stopped, and he planted himself firmly going into Hibernation to heal himself. Taking the form much more like that of a tree than before. And he remained that way, long after he had healed himself. Long after the pirates had been taken care of and after many of the jedi he knew were dead.
Centuries later the village that had formed around him heard a creaking, a groan, as the tall tree stretched its arms. As eyes emerged on a head that looked up into the sky and his trunk split into two legs. He just hadn’t felt the need to move for all that time, and merely made the decision because he felt conflict. And then it came time for him to leave, of course, getting around wasn’t easy. He practically had to use the cargo holds of ships. And at any stop getting out to stand in the sun. He would need to get his own ship sooner or later.
Regardless, it was time to rejoin the galaxy. And if possible, that would mean rejoining the Jedi Order.
