[SIZE=9pt]- [/SIZE][SIZE=9pt]Art of the Steady Mind: [/SIZE][SIZE=9pt]Ozamu has dedicated his life to meditation through using the techniques taught to him through Budo’Kaikara. During his periods of moving meditation, his senses are heightened and his connection to the force allows him visions. However, while sensing visions in this state he cannot snap back to reality until the force has shown him all it wishes him to see. These visions are always metaphorical and never clear, simply hinting at events to show him the correct path.[/SIZE][SIZE=9pt]- [/SIZE][SIZE=9pt]Art of the Empty Hand: [/SIZE][SIZE=9pt]Ozamu, through his years of dedicated training, has become a master of the “Budo’Kaikara” also known as the “Way of the Kabuya” or the “Whispering Palm” an ancient Atrisian force technique kept and passed down solely by the Tzang family for generations. This technique focuses on hand to hand defensive tactics that utilize shatterpoints and combine the kinetic energies of physical strikes with the dispersal of force energy.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]- [/SIZE][SIZE=9pt]Art of the Patient Scribe: [/SIZE][SIZE=9pt]Ozamu has a fascination with preserving history in the form of arts. From poem to paintings to whole books dedicated to wars, individuals, families and techniques.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]- [/SIZE][SIZE=9pt]Art of the Worthy Master: [/SIZE][SIZE=9pt]Ozamu believes that a true master is never done learning and dedicates himself to the collection of more knowledge and skill. He never believes himself to have perfected his trades and is always looking to improve; embodying the motto “If I reach perfection, I have failed”.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]- [/SIZE][SIZE=9pt]Art of the Tactician: [/SIZE][SIZE=9pt]Strength of mind in battle can be a key factor. In Ozamu’s case he needs extensive knowledge of predefined movements and attacks taught to him in training, but also needs the ability to adapt in order to use the art to its full potential. His mind, speed and precision are one of his greatest strengths. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]- [/SIZE][SIZE=9pt]Practice of the Passive: [/SIZE][SIZE=9pt]Ozamu follows the tenants of Budo’Kaikara to the letter, including those that demand the techniques be used only for physical and spiritual purposes and only be used in battle as a defense and never an offense. This fact carries with it both positive and negative implications. While it keeps Ozamu from conflicts and from falling to the darkside, it also means his dedication to not killing can put him into severe dangers.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]- [/SIZE][SIZE=9pt]Practice of the Secluded: [/SIZE][SIZE=9pt]Ozamu believes that the techniques he knows and knowledge he possess are dangerous tools that are his to safeguard. This has led him to a life of solitude, making him very uneasy around newcomers and generally anti-social. He would prefer a life of quiet solitude than one full of friends and family. While this means that he is able to keep himself and his technique a secret, it also means he is short on allies.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]- [/SIZE][SIZE=9pt]Flaw of the Hardened[/SIZE]: [SIZE=9pt]Ozamu is a hard man to please. His life has been full of hard work and dedication, leading him to expect the same from anybody worth their salt. Those who take the easy way out gain no respect from him. This can lead to him being low on allies, friends and heirs to his technique.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]- [/SIZE][SIZE=9pt]Flaw of the Unloved: [/SIZE][SIZE=9pt]Ozamu, from a young age, was molded to be the heir of his household. His father showed him love, but the lifestyle was strict and Ozamu rarely got to experience a true childhood as the galaxy would see it. This has left him a man who distances himself from relationships of most kinds out of a distrust of himself to be able to replicate what the other person expects (this includes friendships, family relationships and love interests)[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]- [/SIZE][SIZE=9pt]Flaw of the Balanced: [/SIZE][SIZE=9pt] He sees the Jedi and Sith as two extremes who bring the galaxy out of balance and must one day accept a truer, straighter path. This can lead Ozamu to inaction and attempts to convert those such as Darksiders and Sith, putting his life in danger.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]- [/SIZE][SIZE=9pt]Flaw of the Empty Handed: [/SIZE][SIZE=9pt]Ozamu has spent his life developing his skills in hand to hand combat, never stopping to bother with swords, guns or other weapons.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]- [/SIZE][SIZE=9pt]Flaw of the Swift: [/SIZE][SIZE=9pt]Budo’Kaikara is a technique that relies on speed, maneuverability, knowledge of anatomy and the force. Strength, while required to some extents, is not a deciding factor. This has led Ozamu to not strengthen his muscle for heavy duty lifting and fighting. His strength comes from precision and speed, not brawn and brute force.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]- [/SIZE][SIZE=9pt]Flaw of the Compulsive: [/SIZE][SIZE=9pt]Living during the darkness has left Ozamu with a few scars of his own. His father, who was always worried with their survival, would punish Ozamu for even the slightest in disrupting organization. His father had multiple emergency plans ready for a wide variety of situations and he always feared Ozamu would [/SIZE]accidentally[SIZE=9pt] change something key to the plan. It was a matter of survival at the time but has lead to a mild-to-severe case of OCD within Ozamu. [/SIZE]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[SIZE=9pt]Ozamu is a stern man and it shows on his weathered features. Deep wrinkles are prevalent around both of his eyes, especially under them where neigh permanent bags hang. Aside from these blemishes, however, his olive skin is untampered by any other imperfections. Though, you could argue that his hair would be where you would find more. Throughout his jet black hair, one can find strands of silver hair that streak rivers of grey through the otherwise black ocean. The same effect can be seen, though to a lighter extent, on the man’s facial hair; which is never allowed to grow to a full beard.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]The man’s irises are a dark, cutting brown that seem to catch every movement before them. They are always so focused and intense that many people take his stares as being rude, when in fact it is nothing of the sort. His body is slim and built, for an older man, but is most of his muscle tone will be found in his abdominal area.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=9pt] Thus began the downfall of the House of Tzang. As the Atrisian government supported the Galactic Empire with generals and tacticians, the House of Tzang struggled to keep itself from being lost to the history books. This was a daunting task as the only heir to the family name, Kiskoa Tzang, had been tried and executed by the Empire. So, in order to ensure that their hereditary line was not lost, the grandfather married a young girl of eighteen from a sister house of the Tzang. The young girl, by the name of Yugai Shotu Tzang, would give birth to a son nine months after their arranged marriage and would name him Roku Tzang.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt] After the death of his father, Roku would go on to lead the family through the dark times of the Galactic Civil War. During this time, the family was merely trying to survive and sold its family's military guidance to the highest bidders on the black market. One day they would work with the Rebel Alliance, the next they would work to destroy them. This would pay off in keeping the family afloat, even after the fall of the Galactic Empire at the hands of the Rebel Alliance. Over the next several centuries the family would rise and fall in power and popularity without ever truly regaining its prior footing. Eventually, during the Gulag Outbreak, the family fell to the lowest point in its existence and its numbers quickly dwindled as family member after family member fell to the virus.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]______________________________________________________________________________________ [/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt] Fifty years before the end of the Gulag epidemic, the last heir to the Tzang name was born. The family named this final son Ozamu, meaning “Greater Hope” in the Atrisian tongue. Ozamu’s mother passed away during childbirth, which left him to be raised by his single father. By this time, the epidemic was in full swing and Atrisia was dipped into chaos. Major cities were no place to raise a child, so Ozamu’s father traveled with his son to the wildernesses of the planet in order to raise his son away from the dangers and chaos that had overtaken the major cities. The father traveled with his newborn son for weeks, moving deep into the uninhabited forests of Atrisia and surviving on game for himself and what baby food he could acquire for his son before departing.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt] Almost two months after their leaving, they found a valley deep in a mountain range. In this valley a mighty river flowed and multiple animal herds frequented the area; giving the two nutrients. Still, living wasn’t easy for the father and son. Ozamu’s caretaker needed to hunt for food and then grind it down and purify it as best he could with the force and cooking in order to serve it to his infant son in a paste-like substance. Over the years, his father managed to build them a modest house made from logs and they expanded on it again and again over the next several years. By the time Ozamu was old enough to begin training in Budo’Kaikara, the small lodge had grown into a homestead. Animals were kept in pins and even a garden had been planted to assist with [/SIZE]sustenance[SIZE=9pt]. All it needed was a new dojo to begin the training.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt] Ozamu helped his father to build a dojo at the age of ten, the same age he would begin his lifelong journey of mastering the art passed down through his family. His father taught him The way of the Kabuya, a technique first invented in ancient Atrisia. The technique was once wielded by the personal guardians of the Tzang clan far before the rise of the Yoshin Swordsmen. The Kabuya Samurai, as they were known, were defenders of the Tzang Clan who were often considered more religious monks than warriors. The sworn duty of these “monk-warriors” was to stop assassination attempts and/or attacks on the Tzang family’s assets and family members. Sworn only to defend, the Kabuya Samurai were forbidden to use their knowledge for offensive means under penalty of death. However, this would change for a short time during the war for the first emperorship. This conflict saw not only the disbanding of the Kabuya Samurai, but even stricter tenants in their arts to forbid the use of the technique in war.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt] Ozamu would live a quaint life with his father, training nearly every day until the age of twenty-five when he decided to venture out on his own. He traveled Atrisia, discovering the dangers of the major cities himself. During these travels, he decided to explore the ancient city of Jar’kai where the first Jar’kai dueling sword was forged. He imagined that it would still reign as a testament to Atrisian pride, but the devastation there was just the same. It was during his time in the city that he was attacked by a group of criminals who wish to steal what little belongings he had, leading him to be forced to use Kabuya in his own defense. Unfortunately for him, the fear and mistrust of Atrisians had not changed. Some tried to shun him, others wanted him to teach them in the ways of Kabuya, but he knew they all wanted his knowledge for the wrong reasons.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt] He returned to the place of his birth three years later, resuming his training under his father until the age of forty-three when his father passed away. From then on he has lived a life of seclusion, returning to cities only to hear news of the galaxy at large and to collect durasteel and other building materials to better his way of life. Many people came to know him as a hermit, only calling him by the nickname “Oldman Oza” on account that very few people know even his full first name and few are interested enough to ask. A quiet life of training alone in the forests has been his way for years, ignoring the bigger picture of the galaxy and instead opting to help where he can on his own planet and generally keep to himself.[/SIZE]

Clothing
Casual
Various Armorweave Kimono Sets:
Basic kimonos made from a light armorweave to offer added protection. These sets of robes were originally crafted by Ozuma's father who wanted a lightweight defense while sparring or dealing with unexpected raider attacks during the darkness.
Armor
Weapons
Stun Pistol:
A simple stun pistol capable of fifty shots per power pack and capable of piercing medium armors, namely stormtrooper armor. However, the blaster fires only stun bolts and has no lethal setting. Currently, Ozuma has very little skill or training in its use.
Heirlooms
Kabuya Armor:
Useless on the modern battlefield, this particular set of Kabuya Armor serves as little more than a reminder of Ozuma's heritage. The original owner of the armor is not known, but it is known that it was worn by one of the Tzang Family Kabuya Samurai during the first war for Emperorship.
Vehicles
BARC Speeder:
A small, unarmed variant of the ancient speeder bike of the Grand Army of the Republic and its predecessor The Imperial Army of the Galactic Empire.

Force Powers
Budo'Kaikara Based Powers:
Force Needle (Apex):
A power in which, during a physical strike, the user uses the force to form a needle shaped sliver of energy to puncture skin and attack internal targets with precision. This power is good for damaging muscles and organs but lacks the ability to cut and slice.
Whispering Palms (Apex):
A power in which the user creates a shockwave of force energy through their hands. This shockwave can cause severe damage, even with glancing blows. However, the bulk of the power lies within direct hits where the user can disrupt vital functions by sending shockwaves of kinetic energy throughout the opponents body. This shockwave can crush and shift but lacks the precision of Force Needle.
Force Disruption (In Development):
A power in the process of development by Ozuma. Ozuma hopes that by further developing the Budo'kaikara style and merging it with midi-chlorian manipulation that he will be able to develop a series of attacks that will temporarily disrupt an individuals force sensitivity.
