Physical Description
Clothing - Cassian dresses with the idea of aesthetics over function, favouring darker colours with single, but clean designs, his clothing typically crafted from very expensive fabrics. In contrast to the darker colours of his clothes, Cassian often wears a plain white mask that is flawless, rarely seen with so much as a speck of dirt on it. It is kept in perfect condition.

If someone know's how to make these images the same size, any advice would be greatly appreciated. Them being so different is bugging me.
Otherwise, his features are all sharp, his skin free of any scars, or spots, perfectly cared for.

None of these images perfectly capture how I view Cassian in my head, and I'm still looking for suitable art work. For the closest image though, imagine the third image with the colour scheme of the first and second.
Personality
Obsessive. Stemming from his drive for perfection, he has an obsessive and addictive personality, meticulously ensuring everything is as it should be, according to his concept of perfect.
Unstable. Baring such a large obsession comes with the unfortunate side effect of having a wildly unstable physche, seemingly ready to fly off the handle at the slightest inconvenience, or disruption of his idea of perfection. This instability makes him a prime target for the dark side of the forces corruption, its effects far more visible on Cassian than would be typical. Whilst under it's influence, he almost becomes a mirrored image of himself, every imperfection highlighted and exaggerated, almost becoming beastial under it's influence.
Ambitious. Perfection drives his ambition, aiming to become this 'perfect being', though what a perfect being is, Cassian isn't quite sure. His ambition is somewhat aimless for the time being, almost seeking a purpose, but in the mean time, using this ambition to motivate his studies.
'Pacifist'. Whilst the word doesn't truly apply to him, he would much rather settle his issues without violence, as engaging in such acts would dirty his clothes, his skin, and disrupt his 'perfect' image. Being an Echani, pacifism fights every trained instinct in his body, often growing frustrated over his hesitance to engage in combat.
Strengths and Weaknesses.
'Perfect' - This drive for perfection lends into a great work ethic, working obsessively to master any skill he is taught. Everything he does must be perfect, and therefore the things he is capable of doing, he is often capable of doing extremely well.'Perfect' - Driving for perfection in all tasks is something that is very taxing, and often leads Cassian to be on only one track at a time, incapable of multi tasking. He must master this skill, before he so much as thinks of another. This means that whilst he can do some things incredibly well, he has a limited skill set, and additionally, at times he has sacrificed efficiency for visual perfection, driving to do things exactly as the text book demands.
Echani - Being born Echani, fighting is effectively in his DNA. His parents taught him to see fighting as an art form, arguably what caused his obsession, and his hand-to-hand combat skills are at a high level, considering his age and lack of real experience.
Echani - Whilst not a major weakness per se, Cassian isn't particularly talented at physical combat, his hand-to-hand combat is good, but this comes from repetitive training. This does not lend into his light saber abilities, which are lacking.
Unstable - An unhealthy obsession with being perfect lends into instability, any disruption to his 'perfection' can throw him completely off his game, send him spiralling, even if it is in the midst of combat. Talent - Cassian has a natural affinity with the force.
Corruptable - The dark side of the force affects him far more than is typical, his personality entirely warped under it's influence, enough so that he is wary of using it until he gains a better understanding of it.
History
Cassian was raised in a household where he got whatever he wished for, being the only son to a very wealthy family. Though his parents generosity did not come without cost, he was trained from an early age, introduced to hand-to-hand fighting as a form of art, as many Echani are. Cassian was quickly drawn to the artistic side, not particularly caring for fighting. His love for art spread quickly, his parents introducing him to many hobbies, which he took to quickly, obsessing over each of them. He'd rehearse a song until he could play it perfectly, he'd study a painting until he could replicate it, and so on and so forth. This idea quickly swelled to an obsession within Cassian, this concept of perfection quickly becoming the centre point of his entire life, even from a young age.
When Cassian was discovered as being force sensitive, he was sent away to the Sith Academies, despite Eshan being in Galactic Alliance territory, as his parents viewed Jedi Ideology as being faulted, and limiting.
This is the gist of it, but I'll likely flesh it out later when I remember to update this.
