Battlemaster Uji Tameike

Equite 2, Equite tier, Clan Arcona
Male Human, Sith, Shadow, Obelisk
Height: 1.83 m / 6'0" - Weight: 75.0 kg / 165 lbs
Age: 33 years - Right Handed
Physical Description

With sharp, slanted brown eyes too old for his face and a muscled, broad-shouldered frame, Uji cuts an imposing figure. While not burly or staggeringly tall, standing at roughly six feet, the straight-backed, sure way he carries himself ensures that Uji appears the Leader of every room he steps into, his constantly moving, deep gaze and coiled body belaying the deadly man beneath his typically calm exterior. The stressed lines slowly appearing on his vital features are occasionally broken by the quick smirk or easy grin of thin lips, and he can often be found arching one of his dark brows in exasperation.

Uji's skin is a pale, oriental tan, marred by a multitude of smalls scars and marks, particularly two long, thin twin scars across his sharp, straight nose, running from below his left eye to the other side of his face. His strong jaw and pronounced cheeks are covered by a neatly-kept, full goatee and framed by the occasional loose locks of dark black hair that slip from his topknot. He normally wears the Officers Uniform he acquired a taste for when serving as the Captain of the Nighthawk, along with an assortment of dark casual clothing, often in blues and blacks. A knife and his saber are always belted to his person.

Do You Really Believe In All That (General Aspect)

Uji’s first Master among the Jedi trained him to have a great respect for the Force, a respect that has developed over the years to become something akin to religion for Uji. Overtime, this has developed in some aspect to more closely represent his own view of himself and his existence within the Force. Uji has never been truly been entirely dark, or entirely light: he has always existed in the shadow of both aspects of the Force. In this way, “the Shadows” is where Uji finds his belief in the Force, and that belief is what guides him to maintain his sense of honor, even when engaging in immoral acts.

Removing Evil Is Not the Same As Becoming Good (General Aspect)

Uji is well aware that he is not a good man: a history of murder and violence has driven away any belief in himself being a “good man”. No matter what he does, he will never wash the blood from his hands; but he does believe he can make a difference for others. He is willing to use his training, use his years of experience, to remove evil from the Galaxy. It may not cleanse his soul, but it may keep others from ever falling as far as he has.

Pride’s A Real Bitch (Personality Aspect)

Above all else, Uji is a proud man, and his pride drives him to both great and horrible things. When he sets himself to a goal, he will see it through, even to his own detriment or that of others. While this can make him valuable to the Clan at times, - if ordered by the right person, he'd burn cities down for Arcona - it can make him difficult in equal measure, as he rarely has qualms in telling his superiors when he disagrees with them. That stubbornness transfers into everything he does, including fighting opponents until he is physically unable to continue.

The Danger Is When He’s Calm (Personality Aspect)

Uji once feared the cold center of his being that led him to the deaths of so many people without remorse. After joining the Brotherhood, he embraced his anger, passion and desire, running from that same numbness while embracing the power of the dark side. However, as he has grown to power within the Brotherhood, he has time and again been forced to embrace that cold center, and now finds it almost a comfort to slip back into feeling nothing. Those who know him know that when he’s at his most calm, he is his most dangerous.

I’ve Seen That Trick Before (Combat Aspect)

Uji has time again had those he loves used against him, through mind tricks, illusions and faceless assassins. Two of his regular sparring partners have worked to shore his mental defenses through repeatedly abusing his desire to protect those he cares for. When people attempt to fool him by using those he holds close, it’s more likely to anger him than it is to disturb him.

Shadicar Control (Combat Aspect)

Uji has spent years learning to control his own body. When engaged, he spares no energy in his movements: every thrust, spin, or parry uses only what is absolutely necessary. His training by the Shadicar, often regarded as the deadliest assassins in the galaxy, have honed his capabilities to perfection. Now far more capable of enhancing his natural athleticism with his talent in the Force, Uji can fight far longer and control his movements to a near supernatural extent. The trade-off, though, is that he holds absolutely no talent in ranged combat with the Force, having focused so entirely on his own physical abilities.
