Master of the Spiral Way
ISSAR RAE'VELIS
Age: 175
Species: Hysalrian
Gender: Male
Height: 2.4 meters (upper body rise)
Weight: 180 kilograms
Force Sensitive: Yes
PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION
Issar Rae'Velis is a towering serpentine figure with pale blue skin, coiling beneath him in layered muscle. Four deep-black eyes adorn his broad, contemplative face, granting him exceptional perception; two adapted for light, two for shadow. He has small head flaps sensitive to vibrational resonances from the environment, common for his species. His body is covered in ritual tattoos of his native spiritual tradition Spiral Way, except for his face, which remains bare as a symbol of humility.
He often wears minimal yet flowing Jedi robes of deep, earthen browns and greys, subtly embroidered with Hysalrian tribal and Spiral iconography. Around his neck or coiled within his hands, he often carries a loop of memory beads, each representing a life lesson, a failure, or a soul he's encountered. He wields four purple lightsabers, crafted in silence and reverence, each with a slight curve to flow with his unique fighting style.
INVENTORY
- Four custom-built curved-hilt lightsabers (purple)
- Spiral Way Memory Beads (sacred spiritual tokens)
- Ritual staff from the Elder Shell (used for ceremonies and meditation)
- Jedi holocron gifted by his former travelling Master
- Worn leather-bound journal (recording Spiral meditations and visions)
- Meditation cloak
- Simple home-temple on Selvaris, concealed in the misted wetlands
PERSONALITY AND BELIEFS
Issar is quiet, contemplative, and unshakably kind. Despite his imposing appearance, he speaks slowly and only when he feels his words are necessary. His presence has a grounding, calming effect on others. He believes the Force is not a war to be won nor a power to be wielded—but a spiral to be surrendered to.
He holds deep spiritual beliefs, rooted in the Spiral Way, which emphasize stillness, surrender, and return. He neither clings to the Light nor fears the Dark—he simply understands that without humility, both become dangerous. He avoids conflict but will fight with fearsome grace to protect life and memory.
Phobia: He harbours a quiet fear of forgetting—of allowing the wisdom of his people to vanish into silence.
STRENGTHS
- Master of Spiral Kata: His four-limb, serpentine lightsaber style is unmatched, blending precision, fluidity, and unpredictability
- Deep Force Insight: Through the Spiral Way, he sees echoes of the past and emotional truths others miss
- Unshakable Will: Calm in chaos, nearly immune to emotional manipulation or goading
- Cultural Isolation: Struggles to relate to fast-paced galactic politics and blunt military structures
- Physical Size: His serpentine form is not suited for cramped starships or narrow spaces
- Nonviolent Leaning: Hesitates to kill, even in combat, unless absolutely necessary, which can put him and others at risk
Issar Rae'Velis was born into the Stillwater Clade of Hysalria, a sacred bloodline charged with protecting the Elder Shell, the central temple of the Spiral Way. From a young age, Issar showed exceptional attunement to the Force and began his spiritual training early, mastering the Spiral Way's deepest truths while still in his first century.
When a travelling Jedi Master arrived on Hysalria seeking refuge and learning, Issar was chosen to accompany them across the stars as a student and bridge between cultures. He studied Jedi philosophy and lightsaber combat, blending these disciplines into those of his native traditions, eventually forming the Spiral Kata, his own serene yet lethal form.
Years later, the Spiral Elders foresaw the rise of Sith dominion over the region. Rather than wait for destruction, a group of spiritual guardians, including Issar, chose exile to preserve the Spiral Way. Issar settled in seclusion on Selvaris, a misty, forested world in Galactic Alliance space, where he built a quiet temple and now lives as a wandering guide, healer, and occasional teacher to lost Jedi who seek him out.
