FORCE SENSITIVE: Yes
STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES (Required: 2 Weaknesses Minimum) :
+Force sensitive: Sinn is a trained force user. Although original
+Good skill with the common practices
+ Detoxify Poison: Was learned due to concerns of if he used his claws out of anger.
+Precognition/Force Sense
+Ballistakinesis: Makes especially use of steel balls sometimes attached to grappling lines. This ability is one of his most preferred and practiced, and sometimes mixed with other forms of telekinesis, mainly Force Pull/Push. Which had become more specialized as well.
+Telekinesis: Although primarily reliant on the more specialized version of Ballistakinesis, Sinn is aware of the use of its more over-arching type.
+Force stealth/Force Cloak
+Attune Armor/Imbue Item.
+Force weapon: Another preference of his due to it working well when seemingly otherwise unarmed.
+Semi-Amphibious: Capable of both in and out of water survival, but extremely capable in the water.
+Deadly claws: Retractable venom tipped claws are an inherent part of the race.
+Combative training: Although preferring a highly specialized approach, focusing on the use of Ballistakinesis in tandem with his armor or environment, Sinn always considered a back up necessary. He trained with the expectation that a single style or weapon would not serve him in all situations, which is also where the use of Force Weapon would be applied. Although a lightsaber would be his primary practice, he learned unarmed, staff, clubs, shields, and even had some practice with blasters. The idea was that he would know enough about a wide enough range of things he could hold his own before finding the hole in an opponent's style. It was also meant as a means to let him appear rather common, as he could go somewhere with just about any weapon that the people of the location might consider quite expected, allowing him to seemingly carry a blaster when in actuality he wanted the opponent to close the distance. This also resulted in a considerable amount of physical fitness, reflexes, and balance, as he was constantly trying to test his speed and instincts based on a variety of potential situations.
-Dislike for dryness: Though quite capable of life on the surface, selkath naturally quite prefer being submerged in water as a more aquatic species. Use of misting systems is very common, if not outright bringing a form of pool or tank with him, especially for sleeping.
-The claws: The claws are a sign of returning to the animalistic nature if used in combat.
APPEARANCE:
Sinn is not an apparent exception to his race, barely below average height, with blue and grey screen with some green, and the typical white splotched patterns. His build is relatively average as well for a healthy Selkath. He does seem to have a habit of moving either quite fast, or quite slow, however.
BIOGRAPHY:
Sinn’s force sensitivity had been a question of debate among his parents. Although they discovered it early, where to send him was not something they had thought about until they realized the situation. The Jensaarai were the nearest, as his parents were living on Andelm IV. Yet in spite of not living on Manaan they had a desire to send him to the Order of Shasa as they assumed it would be more rooted in his capabilities and they felt a sort of need to protect it. They would eventually relent that idea, deciding that it would do him, them, and Manaan little good if they tried and regretted it. Besides they did not live on Manaan and hadn’t for some time, and didn’t know much about the order themselves. They would reveal his force sensitivity and let him train with the Jensaarai.
Sinn would fit in well with their ideas, preferring these methods and quickly looking forward to the creation of his own armor. In spite of being a Selkath, he looked a great deal to the creatures of the land and even planets that would be far more uncomfortable for him to live on. He became accustomed to Ballistokinesis and attunement quite quickly, seeing a potential combination in the two. The ability was inaccurate, but he hoped to fine tune it, instead of spreading his abilities over too many types he wanted to master just a few. These two abilities in particular would become his preferences, and would practice all the time trying to perfect them. It was a slow progress, but it was progress nevertheless.
While he was perfectly fine with fitting in on most fronts with the Jensaarai, there was one potential issue he found himself running into. That of his species, Selkath are not the most common race to see off their homeworld of Manaan, and it could bring extra unwanted attention to him. While the use of force cloak was certainly an advantage, it did mean that it would be far harder to actually blend into crowds without using it. Still, he had a model for his armor. The Sarlaac. Perhaps an odd choice, as it was known for its incredibly slow and unpleasant digestion. But to Sinn, that was it's only mark against it and was due to its own lack of ability to digest quickly. The Sarlaac was an unusual creature and wasn't always completely stationairy, but it was based off of its still form that his armor was made. The Sarlaac appeared like a simple bush to lure in creatures like the bantha, and only then would entrap and attack. To him, it was reaching out only for that which was already within its grasp. Never exceeding its own abilities and simply appearing as another part of a larger whole, not standing out.
While forming an effective armor off such a basis is certainly somewhat problematic, his being a selkath was actually somewhat of an advantage. As Selkath did wear moisturizers quite often, and as a result his armor could easily be mistaken for just another environmental suit since some of its parts were hidden.
