STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES:
Strengths:
- Varus is a very well built and powerful young man with young and athleticism on his side. The force in him is strong, but he lacks control making up for it with brute strength and stamina.
- Varus has a profound touch to the force, but falters in the realm of controlling it. He is unsure of his own power and often times loses control when emotion become a factor forcing him to fear what he is capable of in his worst moments.
- Though he is large and rather brutish at times, Varus possesses a profound cunning and has incredible instincts. Often times he feels out situations making sure to weigh both sides before making a decision keeping him level headed and wise to his surroundings.
- Varus is young, but he does not share the naivety of those his age. He knows that the galaxy is rotting from the inside out, many evil and dark men just beneath the surface of the politically controlled systems.
- Varus is mechanically inclined and very intelligent. At a young age he became fascinated with engineering machines to perform rudimentary functions like bringing him a drink or picking up his room. His fascination with technology has taught him many valuable things about the galaxy and just what machines are capable of if they are given the means by which to do something profound.
- Not getting alone with many others in his younger years, Varus developed a strong sense of independence, learning only to rely on himself. This garnered a certain determination and resilience in him that pushes him even when he feels he's reached his limit.
Middleground/Strength and Weakness:
- At a young age Varus became conscious of the force and feels the depth of it in his core. He is able to draw immense amounts of the force out through his own core and the elements around him, but lacking control makes him a ticking time bomb.
Weaknesses:
- Varus awkward in most social settings, making him difficult to get through to and hard to get along with in some cases. The only thing he carries of his parents is his last name, having been raised until he was of age by an adoption agency who could never find him a home, which explains his detachment to the galaxy and those who share it with him.
- Varus is particularly hesitant to when being approached. Though he is willing to speak to someone if spoken to, he is difficult to read and even more difficult to get to open up.
- Possesses a particularly strong connection to the force, particularly the dark side, though he resists it knowing that his hatred and resentment for his parents is misplaced and unwarranted. He is easily set off because of this.
- Though Varus displays good restraint and resolve he is subject to taunts and jabs that push his anger and can in some cases cause him to make snap decisions instead of make calculated plays.
APPEARANCE:
Varus is a massive young man standing six feet and five inches. His upper body is broad and thick with a muscled chest, shoulders, and sculpted arms. Working as a mechanic most of his life and learning the trade as an apprentice since he was a young man played into his physical development allowing him to become very powerful and built through heavy lifting and tedious, constant work. He also has his mother's blue eyes and his father's blonde hair, from what he had always been told by his caretakers at the orphanage, with a strong jaw, though his looks are young and boyish in the face.
On the bottom of his left wrist just under the base of his palm are the numbers "777", which are the three sevens that signified his place at the orphanage. He was the Seven-hundred and seventy-seventh child taken in by the organization.
BIOGRAPHY:
From the time he was a child he couldn't remember the faces of his parents, but he does remember a moment when he was a baby amd a pair of figures stood over him speaking with a third figure who approached and reached out for him, taking him in their arms. Immediately Varus remembered that he became uncomfortable and began to cry, but it made no difference. He was taken away from the pair and for all he knew he'd never seen them again.
In later life Varus found solace in a mechanic shop next door to the orphanage where he would spend most of his days away from the other kids, watching carefully and learning without ever picking up a tool. Years went by and he would simply come and watch as the small crew of men repaired speeder after speeder and the occasional larger ship like a frigate designed to transport cargo. Finally the day came where the owner was working alone on a luxury speeder that a man was going to be back to pick up that very day, and he couldn't figure out what the problem with it was. Distressed, the manager left the garage to go to lunch and allow himself to clear his head, but when he returned and found a young boy sitting in the pilot's seat of the vehicle, playing at the controls.
At first, the man was about to scold the boy who was frightfully pushing himself out of the speeder and backing up as if he'd performed some cardinal sin, but he then realized that the engine of the vehicle was running, and it sounded clean and true as it ever could have. When he realized that either a specter had done a complete overhaul of the speeder or the boy was mechanically gifted, he decided on the more likely scenario and welcomed the boy to become his apprentice. On that same day, Varus life seemed to truly begin, and all the years leading up from that day, Varus had never been happier.
That speeder shop owner's name was Jarrek, a man who become like a Father to Varus until, in his eighteenth year, Jarrek was killed by a Dark Jedi who had been tracking him for months. When the Jedi confronted Jarrek, he became frustrated with the man and his apparent need to protect and shield Varus from him. He'd been aware of Varus's gifts for a long time, and he was well aware that the man who was searching for him would be no positive influence. He had decided to protect him when he was younger and bring him up the best way he knew how, and that night he had decided to continue protecting him, no matter what the cost. Unfortunately for Jarrek and Varus, the price had been his life.
He died that night, and Varus was never the same. He was alone again, and without purpose, until one day a man named Kian Karr of the Galactic republic found him and gave him the opportunity to be more than he ever thought he could be. He offered him the chance to help people like Jarrek had always wanted for Varus. He offered him purpose. Something that he hadn't had in a long time...
