  • HISTORY


    Millennia ago, after the Cathar were nearly wiped out during the Mandalorian Wars, some tribes of exiles found the planet Kashyyyk and its Wookiee inhabitants had much in common with themselves. By the time of the Galactic Civil War, most all Cathar had returned to their homeworld. But the tribe on Kashyyyk had become so ingrained with the planet and integrated with the Wookiees, that they chose to remain. Nearly another millennium later, Taam was born into this tribe.

    The tribe had held faithfully to most Cathar traditions, which hadbeen passed from one generation to the next. Many Wookiee practices were also adopted by the tribe. It was this connection to the Wookiees that allowed the Jedi to discover a very young Cathar shaman apprentice that showed a strong connection with the Force. To the Jedi Temple Taam went.

    As a padawan, Taam proved very teachable, determined and talented. As he approached adulthood, he was contrversially allowed to return home to particiate in a Cathar rite of passage for a warrior known as the Blood Hunt.

    He rose through his training admirably, and attained the rank of Knight. Taam then took on a padawan by the name of Kalisha Watu, a promising Atrisian apprentice. When the galaxy was embroiled in the Hyperspace Wars, Taam and Kalisha were not exempt from involvement. Proving a very effective team, their stellar reputation was wiped out when Kalisha was killed. While never accused or charged of negligence in the death, Taam could not escape the guilt of the tragedy.

    The devastating loss shook his being to the core. In a difficult decision reluctantly approved by the Council, Taam left regular service to the Temple with the caveat that he remain under the authority of the Order on Coruscant.

    NOTABLE TRAITS


    Strengths

    Cathar Physiology: Taam's sense of smell and sight are heightened compare to humans. His species have a natural aptitude for physical power and agility and Taam possesses great strength and quickness. Each hand and foot also possess large, razor-sharp retractable claws that can be lethal in close combat. He also possesses the natural hunting instinct of his kind.

    Wookiee-Influence: Being raised on Kashyyyk in close proximity to Wookiee villages, Taam has learned not only one of their languages, but learned the craft of wood carving and mechanical workings. He has also been trained in their weaponry and possess several that he made himself. Living with Wookiees has also helped him to better control the hot temper typical of Cathars.


    Neutral

    Moral Compass: Influenced by both Cathar and Wookiee ideologies, Taam has a strong drive to do what is right and oppose what is wrong (by the standards of those two cultures). Loyalty is also a very strong virtue that he cannot deny. This is typically a strength, but when ideology and loyalty conflict, it can prove hard dilemma.

    Weaknesses

    Unforgiveness: While Taam can easily forgive others, he has found it a challenge to forgive himself for the death of Kalisha. Guilt has kept him from taking on another apprentice or joining the fold of anyone enclave or temple. It can, at inopportune times, raise its ugly head to fill him with doubt, or melancholy at the least.

    Mild Agoraphobia: Taam suffers from a mild form of agoraphobia that manifests in an annoying unease in large metropolitan areas. Cities put him on edge and agitate him, leaving him distracted by a strong desire to leave.

  • THE FORCE
    Taam's training in the Force began even before his discovery by the Jedi. As a very young apprentice to the tribal shaman, he learned how to connect with the Force.

    This helped him to progress swiftly as a padawan, and he became powerful in the Force. As a Wanderer, Taam reserved the use of the Force to necessities, and continues to remain reserved when employing the Force openly publicly.

    Taam's Force knowledge spans most the disciplines.
