Maj Jaan possesses an unassuming yet captivating presence, dressed in simple red and black robes that seamlessly blend with the dusty surroundings of Jakku. His attire reflects a combination of practicality and spiritual reverence. The red and black robes, adorned with minimalistic embroidery, symbolize his commitment to both discipline and the Force. A red cowl, when worn, conceals his respirator horns, creating an air of mystery around him. The horns, intricately designed and etched with symbols of his spiritual journey, connect to a breathing mask that he wears when traversing the harsh desert environment. A red and white belt, cinched around his waist, not only serves a practical purpose but also adds a touch of color contrast to his otherwise subdued attire. Black boots, worn and weathered, bear the marks of his travels and training, grounding him firmly in the sandy terrain of Jakku.

The Shyarn is a finely crafted weapon, its blade humming with deadly precision.
Attached to his robes is a tuft of hair from a loyal bantha he once used as a mount during his pilgrimage. This small yet significant detail serves as a reminder of the companionship and trust formed during his journeys. The tuft of hair is neatly tied, and its earthy tones stand out against the red and black robes, creating a subtle connection to the natural elements of the desert.
