The enigmatic Star Dragons rarely interfere in Galactic affairs, preferring to drift from planet to planet and contemplate the nature of the universe. To observe, but not to act. Ras'kala'han tried to follow this path. Stars above, he's tried - even if by the standards of his long-lived race, a few centuries barely counts as making an effort. He's a stripling by the standards of his long-lived species, not even a thousand years old, but if you asked him he'd tell you he's had a thousand lifetimes' worth of quiet watching. As his connection to the Force grew stronger, the young dragon became more and more aware of the Galaxy crying out in pain - the echoes of endless war, genocide, and struggle ringing in his ears.

Ras will hide and be silent no longer. He made a pilgrimage to the place where the bones of his people are buried, the Dragons' Graveyard, and asked them for the strength to do what must be done. Then, Ras took wing - seeking to follow in the footsteps of those few of his species that studied the ways of the Jedi.

[+] Mythic Physique: As a Star Dragon, Ras towers over the average human and boasts an impressive array of natural capabilities - natural repulsor-flight and hyperspace travel, durable scales and claws, and the ability to breath a stream of superheated gas (though unlike some among his species, he's hopelessly outmatched by a proper starfighter).
[+] Force Potential: Though he's had yet to receive formal training, Ras is strong with the Force - his connection honed informally through his long life. This 'head start' means that while he's still inexperienced, he's a quick study.
[-] Arrogance: While Ras recognizes that all species deserve dignity, he doesn't necessarily see short-lived and powerless creatures as peers - they're precious, beautiful, and worthy of protection, but they're also children who should defer to the opinions of adults.
[-] Bulky: An oversized specimen such as Ras goes well past the largest size most architects, tailors, and the like take into consideration when designing their wares. Ras has trouble operating equipment and navigating buildings that aren't made to accommodate such a large being.

Description: Ras'kala'han has a broad, muscular torso with a pair of strong arms that trails off into an almost-serpentine body - hexapedal and segmented. He has a pair of batlike wings and a face halfway between reptilian and canine. He has shimmering blue scales and sparkling eyes that brim with emotion. His voice is a rumbling baritone; he comes from a species with only one sex that corresponds to neither of the traditional humanoid sexes, but feels comfortable presenting as masculine to the Galaxy at-large.
