Chaldean Mystic
STRENGTHS
Jedi Powers: Though he still doesn't have a master, Kai now has a few years of Jedi Academy training under his belt.
Predator Instincts: With Force-enhanced reflexes and a quick mind, Kai makes for a ferocious opponent, though he will rarely fight unless forced into a corner.
- "Kai acted. He always acted... He didn't hesitate to protect people." - Iris Arani
- "What little he grasped of the beast in his mind thrashing wildly was enough for Dagon to realize they really, really needed to capture it alive. A newborn in a foreign body. The horror of the thought sent a shiver down his spine..." - Dagon Kaze
- "He was an innocent soul in a horrifying body, a scourge held at bay by his own innocence, and all that she wanted to do was to help him." - Aeris Lashiec
- "There was something distinctly childlike about this Kai and the way he saw the world, or so it seemed from the brief peeks Kal had gotten into his way of thinking... There was always the chance the presumably young creature's abilities were still untested and unrefined. Perhaps his control of the finer details remained tenuous at best." - Kal
- "There were rumors of course, about just how old Kai was. She hadn't paid them much mind, but he was a child wasn't he? Or whatever the equivalent for rocks was. Pebble?" - Alina Tremiru
- "'To be clear-- I thought you could help Kai.' He could use a bit of kindness, was what she didn't say." - Jem Fossk
WEAKNESSES
Nerfed: Courtesy of an essence transfer, Kai is now in the body of a human teenager. He sometimes forgets that he is no longer a Sith Doppelganger, and generally lacks understanding of his physical limits.
Muscle Memory?: While Kai still has all his knowledge of lightsaber combat and Art of Movement, his new body is not trained to deal with this action hero stuff. To make matters worse, he still fights like he can shrug off any wound because <it'll regenerate on it's own>. Not anymore it won't!
Just a Kid: Kai's emotional maturity is roughly equivalent to that of a fifteen year old. His grasp of concepts ranging from morality and ethics to social cues and etiquette are quite limited, and he doesn't know much about the galaxy or how life works. He also tends to be pretty gullible, and will quickly latch onto whoever is willing to offer him guidance.
- "She made the mental note she swore she had made before, and probably would many times over still: be clearer with that wee bab." -Damsy Callat
- "Not only was the boy curious, but also a bit gullible to some extent. Or perhaps takes things a bit too literal." - Amelia Venthyra
- "... she felt bad for him. He was definitely still a kid, that was clear." - Yenna
- "This kind of behavior could be expected from young men five years their junior. Younglings argued all the time, not Padawans." - Aaran Tafo
PRE-RP HISTORY:
"Inside of you there lives a spirit with a strong will to live, a spirit that has yet to find its place in the galaxy, but also one that has been twisted into something entirely different. Something dark. And yet in giving you the chance to choose which of those you wanted to be, you chose to be a force of good." - Aeris Lashiec
Kai was born a Bamarri, a unique species in which individual members are created when lightning strikes Chaldean marble. Coming into existence without any family, he was found by a much older, wiser Bamarri named Gerda, who guided and protected him during the first year or so of his life. While still a newborn, Kai was abducted by the Sith Lord Messala, who led Kai to believe Gerda had been killed. Messala destroyed Kai's natural form and forced his essence to occupy the newly-grown body of a Sith Doppelganger, a type of Sithspawn. Kai managed to escape Messala's lab and fled into the wilderness of the planet Dahrtag, where he survived for a time in a feral state, feeding on livestock.
Eventually he was discovered by a Jedi, Dagon Kaze, who rescued him and brought him to the Jedi Temple on Coruscant. Because of the odd manner in which he was turned into a Sithspawn, the Jedi healers were unable to "cure" Kai of his Dark Side corruption, which is woven into the very cells of his body - and over time it began to influence the state of his soul as well.
Inspired by his rescuer, and despite the obstacles posed by being a Sithspawn, Kai was determined to become a Knight. He used a dispersion charm to hide his tainted aura, and adopted the identity of a Jedi Padawan at the Jedi Academy on Coruscant. But ultimately, the pressure proved too much, and when Kai was given the opportunity to be reborn as a pure and uncorrupted being, he took it...
