AGE: 67
SEX: Male
HEIGHT: 1.76m
WEIGHT: White
EYES:White
HAIR: Shaved head.
SKIN: Tan
FORCE SENSITIVE: Yes, but he only has a weak connection with the force.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES:
Strengths
Humble: Despite his upbringing typically arrogant Arkanian society, Cannra is actually extremely humble and down-to-Arkania.
Resourceful: Cannra can obtain all the necessities of life in the frozen tundra of Arkania without too much trouble.
Evasive: Although his near-crippling PTSD prevents him from hurting a foe in battle, he is light on his toes and can dodge and evade most attacks thrown at him by sensing his opponents with the force.
Intelligent: Cannra’s intelligence is above average even for Arkanians, but he often doubts the value of his talent and wishes he was born stupider.
Weaknesses
Unforgiving: After having seen the harm that a loose moral code can cause, Cannra has adopted the strictest expectations for those around him and himself. Though there are times where this can make him an excellent judge of character, most of the time it simply ends up hurting others or himself.
PTSD: After the death of the Yaka and seeing the burning village, Cannra has PTSD which manifests in nightmares and uncontrollable flashbacks. The trauma he’s experienced has caused himself so much suffering that he has unconsciously locked some of these memories away in the depths of his mind—a place that not even he can reach. Furthermore, his PTSD has left him with an incredible fear of harming others. As such he can only block and evade in battle.
Distrustful: His interactions with other Arkanians and force wielders has left him skeptical of others. He’s slow to trust anyone, and will often turn away travelers that ask to take shelter from Arkania’s harsh tundra in his cave.
APPEARANCE:
Much like a monk, Cannra wears the one of two identical robes everyday and can generally be found carrying a staff. His face has been slightly tinged by old age, but by far his most defining traits are the two giant scars he has on his eyes that he inflicted upon himself in an attempt to rid himself of his Arkanian heritage. Similarly, he also shaved the pristine white hair shared by him and the pure bloods.
Property
Cannra owns essentially nothing. He resides in a cave with only a straw bed and a curtain which he uses to block out the wind. What is not in his cave he carries on his back, those being his robes, a stachel, and a staff.
BIOGRAPHY:
Describe your character's backstory up to the point you started RPing him/her. Be sure to update this section as the role-play continues.
Early Life:
Like many pure-blood Arkanians, Cannra grew up hearing stories of how his ancestors proudly pushed forth the boundaries of scientific knowledge and conducted then-secret experiments on other species in an attempt to better understand the biological make-up of life. Even at a young age his extreme intelligence distinguished him among his peers, and he vowed to one day regain the genetic engineering knowledge that was lost in The Four Hundred Years of Darkness. Soon Cannra began to secretly start studying the Yaka in an attempt to revitalize the Arkanian experiments on the species. He was determined to re-engineer a Yaka’s brain so that it could maintain the its immense intelligence while also having functional emotions thus regaining and even surpassing the knowledge of the ancients. After several years of studying the Yakas' bionics, Cannra had successfully created what he believed would be a functional brain implant that would enable the species to feel again. So, naturally, he secretly paid some Corellian smugglers to kidnap a Yaka as his first test subject. Upon its arrival to his laboratory Cannra immediately got to work on the brain surgery, excited to see his invention in action for the first time. But his implant was dysfuncitonal, and once the Yaka woke up from the procedure it started screaming in sheer agony and clawing at its skin, trying to rip it off. After several minutes of watching the creature suffer as it tore the flesh from its own face, Cannra helplessly looked on as the Yaka gouged out its own eye and shoved a nearby scalpel into the empty eye socket, finally ending its own life.
After the Experiments:
Seeing his life’s work cause so much suffering in a living being understandably scarred Cannra. He found himself unable to continue his research and began to scorn the intelligence that he based his sense of self worth upon. As such he went out into Arkania in the hopes of finding something else he could believe in. However the Arkanian’s prevalent belief that their extreme intelligence made them superior to the other species in the galaxies and above conventional morality only cultivated Cannra’s self-hatred. Finding himself unable to cope with his blood-stained intelligence and heritage, Cannra decided to study the ways of the force under a Je'daii master in hopes of finding peace. After some time he gained a minor control over the force. But before he could master the ways of this ancient religion, Cannra witnessed a rogue Sith attack a small nearby village killing much of the civilian population. As he watched the flames enveloped the villagers’ houses Cannra came to the realization that there was no higher peace that could be found in the force, and left his master.
Now:
Unable to live in society and without a ship, Cannra now lives as an lone ascetic deep in the frozen tundra of Arkania.
