STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES (Required: 2 Weaknesses Minimum) :
The biggest strengths that Jirano has all relate to his mind, able to take emotions (nearly) always out of the equation and just look at the facts of a scenario and how to achieve the goal he has in mind for it. He loves nothing more than being presented with a puzzle that others have struggled to break, or to debate a point or theory. With all this focus in the mental scheme of things, it isn't to say that he isn't capable of focusing on something physical, he just finds it uninteresting. He would much rather think about what sort of maneuver with a lightsaber would allow him to disarm an opponent than sit and practice until he discovered one.
The only physical pursuit that Jirano enjoys is that of martial arts, not only in the context of being able to fight but as a form of meditation. The way he see's it, if he is able to distance himself from his body and defend himself based on muscle memory, then he is able to focus on looking for a flaw in his opponents form, or for how to end the fight altogether in the quickest way.
Strength-
Jirano has a voracious appetite for all knowledge, with a memory bordering on eidetic, he loves nothing more than being given a task to research and not only finding the answers to what he was searching for but then coming up with theories, hypothesis and engaging in debates regarding questions which have no definite answer. While this is contextual, he usually knows a little bit about everything but also knows a HUGE amount regarding things that interest him.
Weakness-
The flip side to this is that if there is somebody that even hints at the fact they know something he doesn't, and it regards a topic he wants to know, Jirano will go to the ends of the earth to coerce, threaten or bribe them into giving him the information. In terms of information, he is obsessive, rereading constantly and loves to either talk about the topics that interest him and if those nearby don't want to hear about it, he will just close up, keeping himself entertained within his own mind, going over by rote facts to ensure they are ingrained in his psyche.
Strength-
Willpower, Jirano is prepared to make any sacrifice needed, to be as patient as is necessary and to take as much punishment as is needed for him to achieve his goals. No matter the pressure he is put under, no matter how momentous the task given to him he takes it all in his stride, all just one great opportunity for him to learn more and improve himself.
Weakness-
As said before Jirano is capable of taking emotions out of the scenario usually. In his eyes, emotions are a resource used to fuel yourself and expressing them is something should only really be done in circumstances where it is necessary. Somewhat hypocritically, whenever others emotions get in the way of what Jirano views as the correct path, his patience will start to chip away and he will disregard nearly everything that person presents, in his eyes their judgement tainted by needless and petty feelings. Indecisiveness, hesitation and fear in his eyes, are just as dire a threat as a blaster or blade.
APPEARANCE:
Jirano is reasonably tall and well built, broad shouldered and well toned, his eyes are disconcerting to look upon, one eye a vibrant piercing blue while the other is merely a darker green. While he has no hair upon his head, he has a thick moustache and goatee which he frequently strokes while deep in thought.
BIOGRAPHY:
Jirano lived a relatively unremarkable life as a child, two parents, not from wealth but neither living in squalor, it wasn't until he began his education that he appeared to be different. Always ready to challenge the tutors and mentors he had on their views that he saw as wrong, Not staying away from the other children but also not joining in with them. All reports on him came through as bright but unmotivated. If anybody asked him he would just shrug. As he got older, the differences became more pronounced, An example being when he was walking down passed the local cantina and a group of Trandoshan gave him a beating for merely being in the wrong place at the wrong time. Of the three reptilians, one ended up being found, poisoned in the same cantina, the second fell down a sewerage pipe and appeared to have starved to death while the only odd scenario to happen to the third was a sum of 500 credits randomly disappeared within his knapsack. Whenever Jirano was asked if he had heard about the events he would just shrug, occasionally noting ''One of them said I bet you five hundred credits this wuss won't fight back""
-Taken from the personal journel of Jirano Okkasi-
I still don't know where I belong. When I was younger I used to just think I was good at guessing what would happen, seeing the pattern, that sort of thing. But it's been too accurate one too many times for it just be a lot of lucky guesses. Does that make me sound arrogant? It does to me. If I close my eyes and think about it, view the room but think what I would change, it's not like the paint changes, like the furniture flips, but it's different. If I lean over to grab a glass, it seems to just slightly move closer, like it wants me to grab it, or if I trip and put a hand out, my hand feels as if it's already grabbed the ground and I push myself back up. Is it amazing? Sure, but where can it take me?
If I wanted I could chuck on a mask, run around the streets and try and stop the people who do wrong, but are they doing wrong? They're just trying to get by, a cat eats a womp rat which eats a fly which eats the remains of the cat, everyone just trying to eat each other. Why do we only care when its a person getting hurt? Why does nobody want to defend womp rats? I know I don't, but does somebody out there want to?
I could join the Jedi, from what I've heard they seem alright, hoping to create a sort of peace where it becomes quiet enough to just sit and learn. That would be nice, but what happens when nature takes it's course and again people feed on each other? How do they stop that? I don't know but I'd like to. But would they take me?
Or those who embrace that feeling, who don't seek to protect the womp rat but to be that which feeds, to ensure you are never fed on and keep the strong going. I can admire that, to ensure you are always at the top of the proverbial food chain, testing yourself to ensure you are the alpha predator, whether your hunt is for food, knowledge or just the sake of it. But would I belong?
Unanswered questions, feels like a splinter in my mind
It was within his twenties that Jirano chose to leave his family, taking nothing but some data slates, clothes, food and a ticket off world, along with 500 credits taken from a Trandoshan that had made an ill advised bet and a brain seeking answers.
