Physical Description

Karran Val'teo is a Zabrak Male with a strong build, earned through surviving in harsh conditions. His broad shoulders taper down to his waist, forming a V-shaped torso. His bald head is crowned with thirteen bony horns, each about four inches long. His right eye is a deep brown ringed with gold while his left is a blind, milky white.

If one were to strip Karran down to what he was given at birth, they would find a variety of scars. Two old scars sit on his cheeks, two that make a cross on his left, and the other horizontal on his right. A deep, somewhat knotted scar is on his left outer thigh. On the back of his right thigh is the remnants of a stab wound from a lightsaber. There is a single vertical scar that goes directly up his back from a lightsaber strike that had mercifully not damaged his spine. This scar was allowed to heal naturally, as opposed to using advanced medical techniques, resulting in a thick, knotted mark that serves as a reminder. Finally three deep, long slashes across his torso from his left shoulder down toward his left hip. A large portion of his torso, left thigh, and the left side of his face are covered in deep burn scars that are several shades darker than his natural light tan skin.

Scrolling black tattoos spread from the center of his chest, branching across his left pectoral muscle and wrapping around his left shoulder. His left arm is not tattooed, but the alchemical synthskin is matte black that matches his tattoos. On the right side, similar lines branch out as if to frame the large Lotus tattoo that takes up most of his right pectoral. The lines continue to wrap around his right shoulder and twist down his right arm, framing a tribalistic rendition of a Krayt Dragon on the bicep, and a small, colorful ghost on the back of his hand. The sockets around his eyes are outlined in black ink, that crowns up to form 3 points above each eye that get taller as they spread out from the bridge of his nose. From the corners of his eyes a heavy line follows his jawline down to his chin where a short vertical line goes up and ends just below his bottom lip.

Come inside, for you are weary (General Aspect)

Karran Val'teo spent most of his adult life without a family. Subconsciously, this has turned him into a chronic caretaker. Every opportunity he gets, he invites someone who needs a place to stay into his home. On several occasions, he has built extensions and additions onto his home just to accommodate his guests. These gestures do not end with sentients, however. It is not uncommon for Karran Val'teo to adopt animals that others will not, just so that they might have a chance at a happy home. While this generosity does bring many people together, it does leave him open to being taken advantage of.

The Beast Within (General Aspect)

Karran Val'teo feels burning rage deep inside him, but knows what unchecked passian can do. Therefore, rage, while a valuable tool, should not be tapped into lightly. He is sometimes consumed by guilt when he unnecessarily channels this power, and may withdraw from the people he cares about so as to not expose them to the beast he keeps caged up inside him.

They're Animals and I Slaughtered Them Like Animals (Personality Aspect)

Karran Val'teo has a legendary and virulent need for vengeance. Once crossed, he will make it his life’s work to ensure that whatever slight was received is repaid tenfold. This need for vengeance can be all-consuming, and can often lead to short-sighted decisions.

Fighting makes friendship (Personality Aspect)

Karran Val'teo has fought with almost everyone he considers a friend. And each of them has left their mark. There's no hard feelings, besides, what's some bloody knuckles and internal bruising between friends? However, this aggressive nature can be off-putting to some less aggressive acquaintances.

Berserker (Combat Aspect)

Where most err on the side of caution in a confrontation, Karran Val'teo prefers to charge in head-first. While others may skirt a battlefield or keep their careful distance, Karran Val'teo rushes in with devastating attacks with seemingly no regard for safety, relying upon instinct and possibly armor to protect him from dismemberment and death during his all-out attacks. Karran Val'teo is a force to be feared on the battlefield, leaving a trail of death and destruction. However, Karran Val'teo's blood-hungry ways put him in far more danger than the normal combatant, often resulting in needless injury and suffering, trading safety for pure offensive ability.

Djem So/K'thri hybrid (Combat Aspect)

Karran Val'teo's dedication to incorporating various aspects of his Zabraki heritage into his life have even extended itself into his combat with a lightsaber. Although the Djem So lightsaber form typically requires a solid stance in order to deliver its powerful, dominating blows, Karran Val'teo has taken to incorporating the fluid movement of K'thri and sweeping kicks into his attacks in a duel. While this sacrifice in footing does add a degree of randomness to his attacks, making them harder to predict, it does decrease the power of his strikes with his weapon.
