Force Hunter
PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION
Kudau has, for quite a while now, been the biggest in his family, both in height and in weight. He has the build of a very successful hunter, both in strength and appetite. His fur color is varied, being anywhere between pitch black and a dark grey. His Shistavanen heritage shines through his digitigrade legs, pronounced snout, and large tail. His pale green eyes are focused, and his gaze is piercing. He carries himself highly, having upright posture, with a relaxed demeanor. However, he is ready to give chase at the slightest movement.

Kudau was born in a small village on Uvena Prime to his mother, father, and grandmother. When he was three years old, he started showing strong signs that he was force sensitive, and showed quite the potential in the ways of the force. His family had historically high numbers of members who were force sensitive, including his grandmother. However, this genetic trend became the talk of the village, and rumors quickly spread about Kudau's power and danger, even theorizing that his grandmother had ties to the Sith or Jedi order. People soon became distrusting of Kudau's family, and if anyone ended up getting violent, the hunt was on...
The family fled the small village, deeper into the forests of Uvena, carrying what little technology, wares, and keepsakes they could. After days of travelling, they finally settled down in order to build a home for themselves. It was this forest cottage where Kudau was raised to do two things: hunt, and wield the force. In hunting, he was taught by his parents how to hunt small animals, then animals his size. By 10, his mother or father would go on hunting trips with him, often coming back with something bigger than both of the hunters combined. All the while, his grandmother was teaching him his family's ways of the force. These were not Jedi or Sith tomes, but his own heritage, and how his ancestors used the force to hunt.
By 20, he became proficient in using the force while hunting. He was already largely independent, providing himself enough hunts to eat plentifully and gain great strength. However, to his parents, this was the age where he should be finding another to confide in. Their family had an old, but entirely voluntary, tradition of having children at 20 (his mother and father were around 40, and his grandmother was 60). While his goal was not to have children, he agreed with their sentiment. Kudau wished to explore the galaxy in order to find his place in it. His grandmother had always said to his parents "He's more talented than I was at the force at his age, and I was always drawn by it to what's out there... I can't imagine the curiosity in that pup..."
With enough credits, optimism, and tears, his family managed to find enough money to pay for a ticket off-world for Kudau, allowing him to finally explore the galaxy. To this day, he promises to find a place for him and his family, and become strong enough to secure their safety.
