As a Meerian, Katachi is a Near-Human and thus outwardly looks like one. Yet, his kind have drifted from baseline humanity enough for there to be drastic differences. He has abnormally pale skin, metallic silver hair, and matching eyes that lack pupils. He has a lithe physique, seemingly built more for acrobatic movements. In his armor, he takes homage from several other Dark Side adepts, including Vader and his Inquisitors.

PERSONALITY AND BELIEFS
Katachi Ren is characterized by his resilience and a profound sense of injustice stemming from his harsh upbringing. His beliefs are deeply influenced by the philosophy of the Shadow, which he interprets as embracing the complexity of the Force beyond the binary of light and dark. This philosophy drives his actions and outlook, prioritizing individual strength, the pursuit of personal freedom, and a nuanced understanding of power. Katachi's experiences have molded him into a figure who values secrecy, loyalty, and the belief that true power comes from within, reflecting a blend of pragmatism and a deep, philosophical commitment to his chosen path of the Shadow.
STRENGTHS
Deathworlder: His species has the ability to filter toxins in the air through their noses and mouths. He is able to survive in polluted environments without equipment longer than many other sentients.
Adaptability: Having had to face harsh realities of his childhood, he learned to be adaptable to changing situations. He is just as ready to fight as he is to fall back, depending on how he observes the situation.
WEAKNESSES
Ruthless: A life time of cruelty inflicted on him has turned Katachi into a merciless marauder. He is fine lashing out the anger and pain that was brought onto him in his younger years, with little remorse.
Young and Reckless: Katachi is still a rather young man, and the fire of his youth occasionally makes him reckless and overconfident.
HISTORY
Roshaan Boh's early life on Bonadan was defined by the harsh realities of working in the planet's sprawling shipyards, where his family's unique Meerian ability to withstand polluted atmospheres was both a blessing and a curse. Raised in an environment where the air was thick with industrial fumes, Roshaan and his family were prized for their resilience, a trait that made them invaluable yet subjected them to exploitation and abuse by their overseers. This brutal upbringing on a planet scarred by environmental degradation and corporate indifference shaped Roshaan's outlook on life, embedding a deep sense of injustice and a longing for something beyond the confines of Bonadan's shipyards.
The turning point in Roshaan's life came in his teenage years when the latent Force within him awoke in a moment of desperation and rage. Faced with yet another instance of cruelty from the shipyard overseer, Roshaan's anger and fear catalyzed his Force abilities, leading him to unintentionally kill the overseer with a Force choke. This act of violence was a stark revelation of his potential and marked the end of his life on Bonadan. Knowing that staying would mean certain death or imprisonment, Roshaan and his father made the fateful decision to flee, leaving behind their lives as shipyard workers in search of safety and anonymity among the stars.
Their journey was fraught with peril, taking them across the galaxy to the edge of the Unknown Regions, a place where few dared to venture and even fewer returned. It was in this liminal space, on the border of the known and the unknown, that Roshaan's story fades into shadows, losing years to a journey both physical and metaphorical. During this time, Roshaan underwent a transformation, shedding his identity as Roshaan Boh and forging a new persona from the trials he faced and the mysteries he encountered.
When Roshaan reemerged from the Unknown Regions, he was no longer the Meerian youth who had fled Bonadan in fear. Now calling himself Katachi Ren, he bore the weight of his experiences like armor, his eyes reflecting a depth of knowledge and power that was both compelling and unnerving. Katachi Ren's connection to the Knights of Ren was shrouded in ambiguity, with rumors swirling about his status as either a true member or a self-styled pretender. Yet, what was clear to all who encountered him was his unwavering dedication to the Shadow, a belief system that transcended the simple dichotomy of light and dark, embracing a more profound understanding of the Force and its complexities.
