PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION
Iko is a fan of robes, no matter the weather! Rainy? Robes. Sunny? Robes. Facing down a lightsaber? Robes. He also is constantly wearing light colours such as white or blue, for the simple reason that "it's cool". No other reason for it. Well, there is one other reason. In his eyes, heroes wear the colour of purity and hope! And wearing stuff like reds, or oranges would go against that in his eyes.

PERSONALITY AND BELIEFS
Everything Iko does is simply to try and be "cool". He wants to help people, not necessarily because it's right, but because it'll make him look cooler in people's eyes. Of course, this is because of his slightly childish nature. At his heart, Iko does care about actually helping people but he thinks letting people know he's caring and emotional is "uncool" and lame so he does his best to hide it, through bundles of energy and joy! Being joyful in his thing and he does his best to try and shine joy on everyone around him!...Even when it might not be asked for.
STRENGTHS
Optimistic Outlook "Be the Sun" - It's very hard to knock Iko's mood down at the end of the day. Despair and anger are two emotions that the young lad rarely feels! He always has hope that there will be a better tomorrow and if he can help out in that? Well it's even better! The young lad is pure of heart and doesn't see himself ever being dark and gloomy. That's for lame people anyway, like the Sith!
Psychometry "The past is in the pudding"- Thanks to his species, Iko has experience in using Psychometry to look into the histories and memories of various objects. It is a fun little thing that Iko likes to do, since he thinks ancient history is brilliant. Learning as much as he can using his ability is one of his goals in life, which is also why he's more a fan of older things as opposed to the "new"
Swordmanship "It's dangerous to go alone. Take this."- Iko refuses to use lightsabers, not for any reason other than that he thinks swords are cool. This does mean he's somewhat had to improvise in his skills, having to come up with his own styles in fighting, as opposed to following the traditional lightsaber forms. He feels at his most confident when he's using two swords as opposed to one, but he still believes he is capable enough with one...At least for a Padawan.
Pilot "Do a barrel roll" - Iko spent quite a bit of time with his family, riding speeders through Coruscant, or at least watching them do it. And well, Iko is a very good visual learner. Which meant the moment he was able to actually get into a speeder himself, the young Kiffar was zooming across the streets. Sure, it did end up getting him in trouble with the law, and his family having to pay a fine...but fun was more important at the end of the day!
WEAKNESSES
Arrogant "Too Cool For Lightsabers" - Iko believes his way is the best. An example is that whilst using lightsabers is objectively better than using swords, Iko will refuse to use a saber. Swords are much cooler in his eyes, and coolness is supreme. The same goes for using blasters. Instead of using them, Iko prefers the idea of using something more "unique" like a plasma bow.
Risk-taker "Come on! Double or nothing!" - Iko is willing to gamble with anything. Well, near anything. Not anything valuable. The question is just...what he sees as valuable. He is willing to take most risks. The Kiffar is very much a "Do now, think later" kind of person which makes coming up with any kind of plans with him quite...difficult.
HISTORY
Iko was raised in the upper levels of Coruscant, to a complete ordinary family that did ordinary things. They weren't anything special but Iko was determined to change that! From a young age, he has tried to excel and be seen as the next best thing! Helping out various shop owners near his house, or playing with the street urchins that littered the street, Iko made sure that people knew who he was! Of course, it didn't help that he always thought he knew the best way to do things, which might have caused one or two accidents...Though whilst he hoped they saw him as the kind and gentle Kiffar that would always lend a hand...Most people saw him as the annoying and loud brat that would make things more difficult for them.
Eventually, his parents decided that he should try and learn some more self control, and considering his force sensitivity, what better place to send him than to the Jedi Temple? He did have potential at the end of the day. And so thus, the young Lad was sent off to the temple to begin his grand tale! What shall happen next in the saga of Iko Vel? Who knows! Maybe you will be a part of it!
