[SIZE=9pt] | Appearance |[/SIZE][SIZE=9pt]Senji is a male Human in his thirties, standing 1.85 meters tall and weighing approximately 81 kilograms, giving him a relatively normal body structure for one of his kind, meaning he is physical capable: as proved by his lifestyle and devotion to his training he holds physical prowess, giving him his muscled appearance. He have a square face adorned not only by the hint of strong cheekbones, but also by his mane of obsidian hair. This joined by an old scar that runs from his forehead, over his right eye and down his right cheek gives him the look of a serious man. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]
[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]However, his imposing facial features are rarely seen, often hidden behind a [/SIZE]durasteel mask[SIZE=9pt] that have a thin layer of temperature-resisting cloth on the wearing side. The mask have holes for the eyes, nose and slits for the mouth, the last two allowing for easier breathing. With that, the mask is decorated in great detail with symbols and adornments that gives the mask a fearsome, yet also balancing and cold look.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=9pt]| Powers and Abilities |[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]Lightsaber training - Senji mainly practices the Soresu and Vaapad fighting styles that he have perfected during his stay on Ossus, with help from both his former Master, but also various old books. Even though he lacks real combat experience he have in the dueling ring proved to possess great physical prowess and ingenuity that have been influenced by the Tràkata technique which he practices, finding the deceptive part of the technique to mean nothing when compared to the potential dangers his future enemies could unleash upon others if they’re not stopped. He is a man that takes his techniques and forms very seriously.[/SIZE]
Form I: Shii-Cho (Beginner)
Form III: Soresu (Novice)
Form IV: Ataru (Beginner)
Form VVI: Vaapad (Intermediate)
Technique: Tràkata (Novice)
<Rating: Beginner-Novice-Intermediate-Adept-Experienced-Mastered-Exalted>
[SIZE=9pt]Force abilities - Senji had during his early years at the Jedi Academy a great deal of trouble with connection properly to the force due to his aggressive nature, finding it hard to find peace within himself. As he became older Senji learnt to control all of his emotions with the guidance of the masters of the Ossus academy, now possessing incredible self-control to the point where he is often seen displaying little if any emotion, keeping it in check under the surface of his skin. As a practitioner of the Vaapad form Senji have learnt to use and accept his aggressive nature in order to let it guide him in times of need. Senji have shown to be able to use telekinetic Force abilities and have been seen as being highly attuned to Force augmentation of his bodies physical capabilities. However, just as his Father, Senji perceives Force usage as a mass manipulation of cosmic energies, rather than a list of abilities one can pick and choose from, instead viewing these abilities as different forms of manipulation of the cosmic energies that one have trained to do on instinct. Rather than connection to the force through peace and tranquility, Senji uses either the sensation of nothingness (another definition of peace), or powerful emotions he attempts to guide and manage through his strong will and training. This can often lead him dangerously close to the Dark Side.[/SIZE]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[SIZE=9pt]| Strengths and Weaknesses | [/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt][+] Self Control: Senji possess a great deal of self-control, being able to both mask but also suppress his feelings at will. This counts not only mentally, but also through the Force.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt][+] Physical: Senji possess a great physical shape that he have worked on since his early childhood, giving him great constitution and strength even without the aid of the Force.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt][+] Judicious: Being aware of his own, both aggressive, but also sometimes rash and emotional driven nature Senji puts a lot of effort into thinking before acting, putting a lot of thought behind his words should he say any. This positive quality is however negated during specific dangerous situations where he feels the need to prove his worth.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt][+] Historian: Having spend many years under the service of his former Master who was a librarian, Senji have used a long time in the archieves of the Jedi, reading and delving into knowledge of old. Giving him both the wisdom of the ancients, but also a perspective on what happened during earlier periods on the Galactic Timeline. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt][+/-] Ferocity: Deep down Senji does possess a whole lot of emotions that were never truly treated properly. This means that once he truly lets go, his anger can be brutal. He uses this in his Vaapad training and have learnt to partially control it through his strong will. But it can get the better of him.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt][-] Emotionally scarred: Even though Senji possesses great mental strength he have a big flaw with the system he uses to overcome all the negative things that have happened throughout his life. Instead of facing his Demons he instead attempts to forget them and subdue them in the back of his mind, building up a pile instead of clearing them out of his head. And every cage throughout the galaxy can only hold a certain amount of whatever there is within it. One day it will break if not cleared out.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=12.222222328186px][-] Nightmare Paralysis: Whether it is from his tough past or not, the fact is that Senji suffers horrific nightmares. To the point where he often finds himself unable to wake up from them, trapped in his subconscious until the nightmares are over. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt][-] Technologically Handicapped: Senji have never been a prodigy when it comes to engineering or mechanical work, even though he does find it quite interesting. This does not mean that he possesses no wit at all, simply that he have never had studied the technology behind everyday objects. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt][-] Rash: In the face of danger Senji often jumps head first into it, even at expense of his own safety. This however only counts for him if he can somehow get recognition from others out of it. As in protecting them and thereby prove his worth. This tendency is especially seen towards: Potential Masters, Family members, love interests, friends. [/SIZE]

| Biography |
[SIZE=9pt]Senji was seated within the circular meditation room at the Ossus academy, warmth enveloped him as sat there comfortably placed in the center of the room with pillows resting around him in order to help him relax and concentrate. Meditation was one of the few things he still lacked skill in. At least in the traditional fashion; instead of attempting to find peace, he attempted to feel nothing, something that was much easier to Senji. Currently he was trying to meditate on his inner will once more in order to overcome the scars of his past, and as he sat there in the round small chamber that was only lit by a single wax candle, his thoughts suddenly flared back to some of the very first memories he had of this place, good and bad...[/SIZE]

[SIZE=9pt]Quick summary of Senjis life[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]From early on in his life Senji had been told that he had been a hard child to control during his early years in life: Loud, unsatisfied and ungrateful. Things Jedi were not. He had for the most part been excused however; the Masters at the Ossus academy knew of his situation before he even knew of it himself. Senji was the unwanted child of Ekul and Opal Selah, both Jedi, who according to the Jedi Masters at the Ossus academy had higher goals in life than that of taking care of children, letting the force guide them on their journeys throughout the galaxy. This was the reason why he had been left there without them, tossed to the side like he was nothing, that was at least how it felt had felt. Yet, his older mind had, well not exactly accepted this, but at the very least come to admire his Fathers and Mothers great attunement to the force. Nonetheless, it was that simple fact that had given Senji a lot of troubling years during his childhood, not knowing where you came from combined with the lack of parental guidance was something that could make a young child rather frustrated with the world around them. Yet, he had attempted to deal with it, live past it and attempt to forget.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]After all, the Jedi at the Ossus academy had taught him everything he knew, he could thank them for all he knew: They had taken care of him, educated him and treated him well throughout the entirety of his life. One individual who had stood for most if not all of Senji’s guidance had been Master Ilum, an old and large Iktotchi with a soothing voice and cheering chuckle. It had been Master Ilum, who had taken the young Senji under his metaphorical wing and taught Senji the ways of the Jedi as his trusted Padawan. Master Ilum had been one of the librarians and the very naturally his Padawan followed and helped him with his daily duties. Other than this he helped Senji with the construction of his very own lightsaber, teaching him to control sporadic mind, use his force abilities, teach him his forms... And the code of the Jedi.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]But on an otherwise very unremarkable day, around the time when Senji was 21, something noteworthy happened.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]It was so that from time to time a new shipment of books and scrolls of both digital and paper kind would arrive at the Ossus academy, and sometimes Senji and Master Ilum would even be lucky enough to get an artifact for safekeeping. It took almost the entire day for Senji to sort the crates out and place them in their appropriate storage areas and by the evening, exhausted and drenched in sweat he stood with the last create in his hands. It was much smaller than the others and emanated a strange feeling of darkness, the very same feeling he could sometimes feel while practicing Vapaad, the style of combat Ilum had chosen for Senji in order to teach him how to control his aggressive mind. Senji had previously opened some of the storage containers in order to figure exactly where the things should be placed, but this one already had a placement number, however curiosity had gripped young Senji and what he found inside was a four sided pyramide, big enough to be held in his open hand. And oddly enough bursting with the power of The Dark Side, a sensation Senji almost couldn't let go of. Out of seemingly nowhere Master Ilum had come rushing to Senji’s aid as he had felt the disturbance in the Force, quickly covering the Dark Side Holocron in his robes, but as soon as the old master had gripped the ancient sith artifact he fell to his knees, a powerful vision displayed infront of his eyes. It was known by Senji that the Iktotchi naturally was able to see glimpses of the future, but this one scared Master Ilum, a fact that also frightened the confused Senji as he had never seen Ilum react in such a way before. Ilum never told Senji exactly what he had seen.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]After many days of talking with the council Master Ilum decided to drop Senji as his apprentice in fear of whatever it was he had seen in the vision and left Ossus not many moons afterwards, and no one dared or wanted to restart Senji's training... This crushed Senji emotionally as old Master Ilum had always been like a father to him. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]After this Senji decided to shred off his identity and create his durasteel mask. Both in an attempt to honor his father, but also to be able to distance himself from his own past.[/SIZE]
