bird of prey
SKAEL THE PATIENT
Age: 24 (approximate, avian years)
Species: Vulture
Gender: Male
Build: Bird-build
Force Sensitive: Yes
PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION
Skael resembles a large, long necked bearded vulture with pale bone colored feathers, darker wing plumage, and a hooked beak well suited for tearing and cracking. His eyes are sharp and unsettlingly intelligent, often lingering on others longer than is comfortable.He typically presents himself as a simple bird at rest, perching silently or hopping close with unsettling familiarity. When he speaks, it is often without immediately revealing that the voice belongs to him, preferring to let others come to that realization on their own.
INVENTORY
- Simple scavenged robes and wrappings, loosely fitted
- Small personal satchel containing food scraps, bones, and trinkets
- A few cracked or polished bones kept as keepsakes
- No lightsaber yet
PERSONALITY AND BELIEFS
Skael is quiet, observant, and opportunistic. He believes patience is the greatest form of strength, that those who rush always leave something behind. He prefers to wait, watch, and feed on what remains after conflict rather than initiate it himself.He is hungry, both literally and metaphorically. Hunger to him is not a weakness, but a state of readiness. He believes survival proves worth, and that anything left unattended is fair to claim.
He enjoys being underestimated and leans into the assumption that he is just a bird.
STRENGTHS
- Highly patient and observant
- Naturally stealthy and difficult to notice when still
- Strong Force intuition, especially for sensing opportunity and weakness
WEAKNESSES
- Physically fragile compared to most humanoids
- Limited formal Sith training
- Driven by hunger and curiosity, which can override caution
HISTORY
Skael's early life is largely unremarkable. He survived by scavenging battlefields, refuse heaps, and forgotten places where others had already passed through. Over time, he learned that conflict creates abundance for those willing to wait.His Force sensitivity manifested subtly, sharpening his instincts rather than erupting violently. He learned to listen, to linger, and to follow stronger beings without drawing attention to himself.
Recently, Skael has begun circling Sith and Force users more deliberately. He does not yet understand the Sith Code fully, but he understands power, and he understands patience. He is content to remain small for now.
For now.
