Baran Do Sage: Xos grew up into the Baran Do, while Xos struggled for a long time to obtain the inner peace they were so focused on. He had years to work and all the time in the world. Over his years he has collected a considerable connection to the force. While Xos does possess plenty skill in other areas, having spread his experience wide, there was one thing that he had little issue in growing, visions. Before he leaned to control it, Xos would often foresee the future, but more often the past, while sleeping. And particularly of those he met during the day.
While the nightly visions were by far his most powerful trait, he felt there was a necessity to further his abilities into the combative area. Not to harm, but to protect and guard his allies, and to preform the duties that the Baran Do originally often participated in to stop disasters.
Xos is undoubtedly an incredibly powerful force user, the visions being a simple sign of just how connected to it he really was. It is why Xos has adopted a primarily force based combat style, since once he began to fully realize and actually apply his powers, the sheer strength in them was enough to overpower most of his enemies with what he saw as relatively simple moves. Whether by simply holding them in the air with telekinesis, or moving them or other objects through it, rather then actively participating in more complex techniques that would take too much time or effort when the simple but powerful versions worked just fine. The use of winds in the force is one such easy measure.
Notable Force powers:
-Force vision (common place during sleep and meditation. While the past and present are the most common visions he has, natural disasters and impending doom are not unusual.) Master
-Precognition: Master
-Telekinesis (Very strong as it is one of the few physical powers that he worked to learn, certainly one of the best among the Baran Do.) Master
-Enhanced senses (Something he dedicated time to as respect to their original purpose once again, giving considerable awareness to the atmosphere and nearby conditions to be further aware of danger): Master
- Ayna-Seff: Master
-Force résistance/immunity: Master
-Force absorb: Master
-Force Sense: Master
-Force weapon: Master
-White force lightning (A commonly strong trait among Baran Do like telekinesis. Also quite powerful): Master
-Force barrier (a particularly strong trait, one he uses particularly to stop catastrophes such as wild fires or heavy assaults): Master
-Force whirlwind: (Another common trait among the sages, and one he is no exception to that goes along with telekinesis): Master
-Telepathy: A power Xos had only pieces of in his childhood after his moment of meditation, it is one he has only used to help him communicate with those who could communicate by language with him. While he rarely uses this without permission, it is often a requirement of those who rank high in the order to permit a series of questions in which he is permitted to see their thoughts if they wish to be of considerable rank: master
-Force meditation (A practically universal trait among the sages, it is something they are heavily known for that allows them such peace of mind and insight.): Master
-Force enhanced condition: Master
-Force guidance: Xos often allows the force to guide him rather than by his own intellect and skill. He considers himself not actually that intelligent, only well connected to the force. As a result, instead of acting or fighting as if he were himself, he reacts to the forces wishes as best he can. Resulting in a more unorthodox combat style as compared to more actively trained combatants.
Martial arts:
While Xos actually despises ever getting into a physical confrontation, and would almost always attempt to use the force or negotiation instead. He was not always as powerful as he is, and is aware that occasions may force or even be better if such methods were utilized. Because of this Xos has, in the past, practiced considerably with a wooden staff and in unarmed combat. He would normally combine this with force powers as time went on. The combination with force powers and practice with a saberstaff grew much over time. Though he leans more and more ont he force.
An advisor of past and future:
While Xos had only been the Master of the order for a few years, he, like many of the sages, have spent considerable time advising others on matters. And as a natural to visions, it was not uncommon for him to try and figure out ways to change the future, or too learn from the past. He has grown over time on matters of politics, military, and the welfare of others both in body and mind.
A weapon of the force: A specific style that Xos adopts in combat as there is usually no need to use the staff once he feels he's reached a certain point. Xos prefers to use the force almost exclusively to command his movements and minimize what he needs to do to command the force, being almost an extension of the force and vice versa, rather then using it like a tool. It might cause him to appear unusually agile and fast due to just how much he is letting the force guide his actions, especially thanks to how much is put into force visions and precognition in his lifetime.
WEAKNESSES:
Dwindling martial experience: While Xos does still know the techniques in memory, he has not actually done little more then an occasional exercise with a staff or his hands in years, especially after becoming the Master of the Order. So his speed and strength have certainly dwindled considerably from their former selves. His practice was slightly increased when he altered his staff to permit use of a saberstaff, but still remains rather unimpressive in this skill.
Age: Xos's age has weakened his body much over time. H's grown quite old however, and this means he relies almost entirely on the force to keep himself going.
APPEARANCE:
Xos is actually rather average in height for his race, and would appear rather unimposing on almost any circumstance as long as someone was familiar with the unusual faces of his race. Being a kel dorian, he is often wearing a protective mask, however removal of it showed something rather unusual and sometimes seen as ugly or unsightly to some other races.
His eyes however are silver, due to his force sensitivity.
The clothing he often wears does vary, while he was known for wearing robes and formal attire. It was not entirely unexpected for his outfit to change into a more loose fitting outfit more fit for combat or high movement situations.
BIOGRAPHY:
Xos was born on Dorin and grew up there, he was quick to being a member of the Baran Do and happily so. As a youth he had many struggles, Xos was prone to being naive and especially in youth lacking control of his abilities. It was questioned whether he would go from apprentice to master at all due to seemingly erratic force visions that came to him so often during the night and occasionally around some people. The irony of his naive nature and the fact he often could often see the secrets of his fellow sages was not lost on him nor was, what was thought to be possible lack of intelligence, lost on his friends. However, one day Xos had had quite enough. He sat down where he was, and went deep into meditation. All the Baran Do near felt it, some coming to see what this was, others tried to wake him. However no reaction was made as he merely levitated, remaining. It was days before he returned, having had only people watch to be sure he would not die from this.
They all felt the calm when he finally returned. They could sense how he had deepened himself into the force to grow his mind, while he still was often sometimes naive, he was no longer nearly as foolish as he was once. He had learned to much more efficiently control his visions, and had grown to sometimes hear the thoughts of others. It was not long from here that the change gained enough attention that they allowed him to proceed. It was not long before his visions and heavy meditations helped him to grow further and proceed from master, to Sage, to even becoming the Senior Combat instructor due to how much he had learned on the matter of applications of the force and his use of the staff.
However that rank lasted only a few years before he took the place of the Master of the Order. He took the position with respect. He would preform under it as he should, in his mind he was still an advisor. And while he might have authority over those under him, he didn't feel like some grand lord over them. He would serve the order as much as those at the bottom would. And expected all the others to do the same.
Xos is occasionally known as a Pioneer or Prophet among the Baran Do due to his unique connection to the force that has grown as it did, particularly in regards to his visions and insight in meditation. He has gone so far as to believe that if one can truly become one with the force, there would be no need for a physical weapon or any further teaching. The force would provide all that was necessary, one only had to accept it and choose to follow.'
In spite of not being a Jedi himself, Xos knows much about them, and eventually even came to make a lightsaber of his own. however he did this more for the crystals effects than actually for the offensive capacity of the weapon.
He'd roam the galaxy leaving his position in following of his visions, only searching for where he may be best used.
