Character Snapshot (Essik Lyccane)
Ranger Ka Tarvitz
Appearance-
Tall, heavily built and with his fair share of old wounds, Tarvitz is an imposing figure at the best of times. Sporting a determined if world weary stare, his weather-beaten skin reflects a hard life of having traveled under countless alien suns, matched by his fading shoulder length hair. Adorning the upper left of his brow and encompassing his eye socket, the pale green glow of a cybernetic sensor clashes against his dark blue organic left eye. Around its edges, the old shrapnel scars and burned tissue can still be seen, clashing against his proud features.
Attire-
Rarely seen outside of his battle armour save for certain formal events or gatherings, Tarvitz favours wearing it even during personal meditation. He retains two seperate suits of warplate, the first being a salvaged set of clone paratrooper armour and the second his old Jensaarai armour.
Clone Trooper Armor Phase II
Clone Trooper Armor Phase II
Type:
Armor
Category:
Heavy Armor
Armor Cosmetic: Born to the Purple
Armor Helmet Modification: Centralized HUD
Armor Modification: Armor Sealing
Prototype: Clone Trooper Armor Phase II
The Clone Trooper Armor Phase II is a more advanced and comfortable form of Clone Trooper armor introduced in the later stages of the Clone Wars. It includes a more advanced air filtration and oxygen supply system, polarized lenses, and an annunciator to make speech more comprehensible for others. The helmet is more rounded, lacking the fin design associated with Phase I armor.
Born to the Purple
This armour has been designed with a colour scheme of various shades of purple. While bereft of emblems or insignia, every effort has been made to resemble ceremonial garb or a regal attire.
Centralized HUD
Clone Trooper Armor Phase II comes equipped with a specialized HUD layout compared to other Clone Trooper Armor Phase II setups. All prevalent information is displayed around the center of Ka Tarvitz's view range, for ease of use while keeping the peripheral view unobstructed.
Armor Sealing
With various hermetic clasps and rubberized seals, Clone Trooper Armor Phase II is completely sealed off from any atmospheric threats or the vacuum of space. It contains several hours worth of breathable air, more than enough to handle the majority of most conflicts. The additional seals and air supply increases encumbrance, making the set several pounds heavier than the typical Clone Trooper Armor Phase II as well as decreasing overall mobility.
Mitrinomon Jetpack Thrusters
The Mitrinomon Jetpack Thrusters are small thrusters that can be attached to a wearer's armored boots allowing the user a form of rocket propulsion and take flight. The thrusters come with a required small, slim and well-armored pair of Conflagrine-14 fuel cells as a fuel source with limited availability of fuel that prevents sustained operation but is also usable to extend the operation of flamethrower weapons.
Cybernetic
The Cybernetic is a technological replacement of an organic body part or parts.
Exposed Cybernetic Eye
Ka Tarvitz has had one of their eyes replaced with a cybernetic prosthetic. Foregoing synthflesh grafted onto the replacement, Cybernetic retains its robotic design on full display.

Type:
Droid
Category:
Astromech Droid
Droid Personality: Sarcastic Tendencies
Droid Cosmetic: Mint Condition
Droid Modification: Automated Repair
Prototype: R3-series Astromech Droid
The R3-series Astromech Droid is a successor to the popular line of R2 astromech droids with faster processing abilities designed to fit in the droid socket of any starfighter. It is commonly designed with a domed or tapered code head, with a cylindrical core in addition to a base, retractable tread leg and two main legs. It has multiple appendages and attachments within its compartments, such as shock prods, welding torches, and is equipped with a holoprojector and a periscope that has a probe function which is usable in space.
Sarcastic Tendencies
R3-M1 "Ratchet" Astromech Droid has developed a quirked personality, granting it an inclination towards heavy doses of sarcasm when engaged in dialogue. As a result, R3-M1 "Ratchet" Astromech Droid comes across as having issues taking direction and developed a reputation for 'snark'.
Mint Condition
Ka Tarvitz has painstakingly cared for this R3-series Astromech Droid, and even upon close examination it appears as though R3-M1 "Ratchet" Astromech Droid was freshly off the manufacturing line. Absent of any scratches, dents or even the slightest imperfections, the only thing missing is the new droid smell.
Automated Repair
R3-M1 "Ratchet" Astromech Droid has received advanced automated repair programming based on the original R3-series Astromech Droid schematics, giving it an ability to perform or assist in the performance of self-diagnosis and self-repair of its mechanical systems. This system engages automatically upon damage, and can render the droid temporarily unavaialble while it assesses any necessary repairs before further action can be taken.
Utility Belt
The Utility Belt is a waist worn device fitted with equipment for carrying out basic mechanical tasks or other essentials depending on the mission.

The Spitfire
The Spitfire
(N-1 Starfighter)
Type:
Space Vehicle
Category:
Starfighter
Space Vehicle Cosmetic: Battleworn
Space Vehicle Launcher Modification: Ion Charge Missile
Space Vehicle Modification [OLD]: Maneuvering Thrusters
Prototype: N-1 Starfighter
The N-1 Starfighter is a sleek 11-meter long Starfighter designed as a single-pilot multirole starfighter that could be used for escort, patrol, and defense missions. Hyperdrive capable, this vessel has high maneuverability and speed with average armor and shielding. It can be equipped with an astromech droid for improved navigation and in-flight maintenance. Known also as the "Naboo starfighter", it was developed by the Theed Palace Space Vessel Engineering Corps for use by the Royal Naboo Security Forces and continued to see use on Naboo for years.
Armament
2 laser cannons
2 torpedo launchersComplement
1 pilot
Battleworn
The Spitfire has seen combat, and it shows, with laser marks scarring the plating on the vehicle, and minor damage in the form of scratches and dents unrepaired since they had no impact on the functionality of this N-1 Starfighter.
Ion Charge Missile
The Spitfire has replaced two of its current warhead launchers with ion charge missile launchers. They carry eight missiles in total, which are comparable in speed and maneuverability to a concussion missile, but it does ion damage versus destructive damage. They are ideal for disabling vessels.
Maneuvering Thrusters
The Spitfire has been fitted with additional thrusters that greatly increase the maneuverability of a N-1 Starfighter, but the power-draw will decrease the overall speed of the N-1 Starfighter when in use.

Type:
Weapon (Lightsaber)
Category:
Lightsaber
Basic Lightsaber Cosmetic: Dark Steel Armory (Yellow)
Prototype: Knight's Lightsaber
The Knight's Lightsaber is a weapon constructed by a Force user as part of their training. It is a plasma blade, emitted from a hilt and powered by crystals that determine the characteristics and color. It is useful as both an offensive and defensive weapon depending on the skill of the one wielding it. Capable of cutting through virtually anything including blast doors given enough time.
Dark Steel Armory (Yellow)
Knight's Lightsaber has a simple dark gray cylindrical hilt set with knurled circles to assist in gripping the weapon, with a clasp at the base to attach the weapon, and a bright yellow blade when activated.

Electro-sword
Electro-sword
Type:
Weapon (Bladed)
Category:
Sword
Melee Weapon Cosmetic: Mint Condition
Melee Weapon Modification: Hollow Core
Bladed Weapon Modification: Dense Alloy Blade
Prototype: Electro-sword
The Electro-sword is a bladed weapon with a resonating blue electric current surrounding the blade capable of delivering an electric shock when activated on the weapon's hilt. It has a short blade that allows it to effortlessly be wielded single handedly.
Mint Condition
Ka Tarvitz has painstakingly cared for this Electro-sword, and even upon close examination it appears as though Electro-sword was freshly off the manufacturing line. It is absent of any scratches, dents or even the slightest imperfections.
Hollow Core
Electro-sword has had as much material as possible removed from its basic structure, in an attempt to make this Electro-sword as light as possible while still useful in combat. This makes it far easier for Ka Tarvitz to wield, but at an offsetting reduction in force on impact.
Dense Alloy Blade
Electro-sword is constructed of a dense alloyed steel, making this Electro-sword much stronger than the standard steel used to manufacture bladed weapons. However, this denser material also makes the weapon considerably heavier and more difficult to wield.
WESTAR-M5 Blaster Rifle

Weapon (Blasters)
Category:
Blaster Rifle
Size:
2
slots
Ranged Weapon Cosmetic: Mint Condition
Blaster Modification: Cooling Vents
Blaster Rifle Modification: Shock Absorber
Explosive Launcher Modification: Micro-explosives
Prototype: WESTAR-M5 Blaster Rifle
The WESTAR-M5 is a large blaster rifle that is very accurate at close range, with a flex sight making it accurate in medium-range situations as well. It is capable of powerful armor piercing semi-automatic, burst or automatic firing modes. It also comes equipped stock with an under-barrel grenade launcher that makes the weapon more difficult to wield, but capable of dumb firing up to six grenades one at a time that detonate on impact with a hard surface with a wide blast radius. The under-barrel launchers uses the Explosives skill.
Mint Condition
Ka Tarvitz has painstakingly cared for this WESTAR-M5 Blaster Rifle, and even upon close examination it appears as though WESTAR-M5 Blaster Rifle was freshly off the manufacturing line. It is absent of any scratches, dents or even the slightest imperfections.
Cooling Vents
WESTAR-M5 Blaster Rifle has been equipped with vents on the sides that allow the weapon to more quickly cool while the trigger is depressed. While this allows for a much faster rate of fire, but clips will deplete much faster.
Shock Absorber
WESTAR-M5 Blaster Rifle has been equipped with a large shock absorber on the stock that absorbs some of the recoil while firing and improving accuracy. However, this absorber makes WESTAR-M5 Blaster Rifle slightly larger and more difficult for Ka Tarvitz to carry and wield.
Micro-explosives
WESTAR-M5 Blaster Rifle has been retrofitted to fire much smaller explosives, that produce far less damage than the standard arsenal of a WESTAR-M5 Blaster Rifle, but allows Ka Tarvitz to fire the weapon far more times than they could otherwise.
Rather than a true member of Clan Odan-Urr, Tarvitz is an outsider who has pledged himself to their service. Having spent several years operating without oversight - save the Jensaarai creed - he has an independent streak. Ka is more than capable, and most comfortable, relying on his own abilities or close close allies than a massive organization. Often forced to operate within hostile or outright lawless territories to pursue his goals, he has become quite adept at maintaining a relatively low profile when required. However, Tarvitz finds it difficult to walk away from acts of cruelty, and he has more than once alerted a foe to his presence whilst stepping in to defend those in need of his help.
Ka Tarvitz believes that a man is judged by the quality of his enemies. With this belief taken to heart, and since his training on Susevfi, he has constantly sought out a foe to measure himself against. He battles these foes - Sith Warriors, petty thugs, his own limitations - in an effort to equal and then surpass them. This mentality has pushed Tarvitz to relentlessly improve himself, and often assists him in picking out the most formidable opponents on a battlefield. However, his constant need to take on more powerful opponents has created the perception that Tarvitz is a reckless glory seeker among some of his peers.
Plain speaking and dutiful, Tarvitz has always favoured a hands-on approach to life. So far as he is concerned respect is earned by a willingness to perform grunt-work no matter your rank, and leadership should be proven by placing the well-being of others ahead of you. If you are asking someone to wade through mud to achieve an objective, in Tarvitz's eyes you should be in there with them. Such an approach fosters loyalty among his comrades, and has made Tarvitz adept at both thinking on the move and adapting his plans while under fire. However, it often causes him to clash with more conventional leaders and he has trouble seeing events on a greater scope.
Ka Tarvitz has an uncomplicated worldview. He is motivated to act by what he feels is morally right over choosing what may be the greater good. This moral direction allows him to look beyond cultural bias to see an individual’s qualities. Tarvitz often focuses only on the problem before him, as well. While he may not be deeply intellectual, he has a knack for improvisation and practicality to solve those problems. This wisdom of simplicity often leads to solutions to problems more complex thinkers overlook. His tunnel vision combined with his optimistic outlook will often create a misconception that he is ignorant if not outright stupid. Tarvitz must overcome the challenge of getting others to take his suggestions seriously.
While Tarvitz will fight uphill battles for the right reasons, he is far from willing to risk everything in an unwinnable conflict. It is, after all, just as important for someone to know their limits as much as their strengths. He has become accustomed to creating openings by using the environment to attempt to distract his opponents before temporarily withdrawing from fights. Until he can re-engage from a what he perceives as a position of strength. Unfortunately, while an excellent tactic when working alone, he finds it difficult to employ when working alongside allies. Without prior planning or a leader to fully co-ordinate their efforts, he will often resort to using himself as a distraction to cover their retreat.
Tarvitz is far from the Brotherhood's best combatant, and he would be the first to admit it. Many others are better shots, better with a blade or more adept with the Force, and as such Tarvitz focuses upon limiting an opponent's abilities in battle. Whether this is drawing an acrobatic foe into a tight corridor or using minor telekinetic shoves to keep a swordsman off-balance, he will always seek to rob someone of their best advantage rather than charging headlong into battle. However, while he has become talented at analyzing a foe in the midst of combat, and adapting his tactics between each blow, Tarvitz can still be caught flat-footed by entirely new techniques or too much shifting information.
