Von Ricmore is a member of the Skakoan race. He stands amongst the taller members of his species at 2.3 meters. He weighs 92 kilos due to the musculature he has worked to develop as well as the pressure suit he is required to wear in most environments. His left arm has been replaced by a prosthetic after losing the original in a duel against Appius Wight. He has red skin and orange eyes. Von has a respectable amount of musculature due to his training which makes him stand out compared to most of his race found throughout the galaxy. However this physique is rarely seen due to his need to wear a pressure suit.
Von has modeled himself after the Jedi of the Old Republic, prior to its corruption and decadence. He sees himself as a guardian of freedom and believes that the mercenaries and Mandalorians of Clan Vizsla will serve as valuable allies in that endeavor. He will always ask his foes to surrender prior to an engagement and is open to diplomatic solutions to problems. This code can irritate more bloodthirsty comrades or those who wish to solve problems in the most expedient manner.
Von has developed a bit of a reputation for insubordination despite his military training. He has developed a very present minded focus, willing to alter plans and reallocate resources in order to achieve successes in his operations. This behavior allows Von flexibility when it comes to adapting to different situations but has a potential to draw the ire of his superiors.
Von Ricmore is very cheerful and happy, and always looks on the bright side of life. When chewing on life’s gristle, he doesn't grumble, but gives a whistle. He always hopes for the best, and enjoys laughing, smiling, dancing or singing. This unending optimism often improves the morale and spirit of everyone around him, and Von Ricmore is always quick with a smile or a joke, even when drawing his terminal breath. This same exuberance can also be tiring to more jaded curmudgeons.
While generally laid back and more than happy to offer a quip of sarcasm, Von Ricmore's entire demeanor changes once combat begins. He becomes focused and quiet, with his smile replaced with a look of grim determination.
Von prides himself on being a Knight of the Jedi Order, which means that there is a code of conduct for him to follow. Von understands that death is sometimes unavoidable, especially on the battlefield but he won’t go out of his way to kill people if there is a better solution. He prefers to use his powers in a non lethal manner. This preference for non lethal solutions has the potential to draw out combat, especially one on one duels where Von can more easily pursue a non lethal approach.
To defeat one’s foes one must first defeat one’s own weakness. As a Skakoan Von is reliant as his pressure suit. He has learned to master the power of Control Self which he employs to keep himself alive if his suit fails and allow him to keep fighting even while tired. Von’s reliance on Control Self makes it more difficult to use other powers that take concentration while it is being used. As a consequence it also leaves him more open to offensive Force powers, especially difficult to dodge tactics such as a Telekinetic Grip.
