Jedi Knight
Pyeth Raffinki
NAME: Pyeth
FACTION: Independent
RANK: NA
SPECIES: Rishii
AGE: 20
SEX: Male
HEIGHT: 5" 6' (167cm)
WEIGHT: 68 kg (149 Ibs)
EYES: Amber
FEATHER: Light Brown/Black with cream
FORCE SENSITIVE: Yes
STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES:
+ Natural Weapons / Flight - Pyeth possess the ability of flight providing he is not wearing or carrying heavy equipment, additionally has access to talons and a beak while not capable of penetrating medium or greater armours they make for decent climbing and defensive tools.
+ Medicinal Knowledge - Pyeth has a good grasp over the production and application of traditional curatives derived from flora in addition to the more modern compounds used across the Galaxy.
+ Multilingual - His background as a guide for pirates and merchants has led to Pyeth developing an understanding of most of the commonly spoken intergalactic languages, including but not limited to Galactic Common, Rodese, and Bothese. And like many Rishii he can be quick to pick up new languages.
+ Botanist - Pyeth has taken an interest in flora over the years and has a good grasp of the basics, able to grow and maintain a small private collection of herbs, weeds, and other plant life he has collected or purchased from merchants. Sadly, his most recent collection was lost with the presumed capture of his fellow crewmates.
- Flock Mentality - Pyeth still maintains a strong desire to one day be reunited with his people, the relationships he has there are very important to him and he will do everything in his power to protect their community despite his exile. This mentality extends to his presumed allies as well as creating a naivety that the people he involves himself with have his best interests in mind too.
- Hollow Boned - His species is capable of flight but that doesn't come without its cost. Pyeth is particularly vulnerable to blunt force attacks.
- Cleithrophobia - Pyeth's greatest fear is entrapment, he can handle small spaces but being locked in a cell or having his freedom stripped from him is a struggle.
APPEARANCE:
Contrary to the presumption of his tribal background, Pyeth maintains a high standard when it comes to his appearance, taking time and effort to keep him plumage well maintained and groomed giving them a soft flowing texture, the most notable of these is a pair of ear-tufts extending from above his eyes to the above the top of his head.
Despite his frame, the raptor-like features may be intimidating to some with hawkish eyes, a sharp hooked beak and taloned feet, it's rare to see him wearing any clothing on his feet, primarily because there are few suppliers he could afford that would fit his niche. Carried with him always is a spear, usually slung and wrapped tightly in bundles of scraps over his back, the weapon itself is unremarkable, being fashioned primarily from scrap but carries sentimental value to the Rishii.
His preference for clothing is light and practical, anything that would obstruct his arms and thus his wings feel abhorrent, for this reason, he will usually be seen wearing sleeveless loose-fitting cloth and garments and no headgear that would obstruct his vision.

BIOGRAPHY:
Pyeth was born and raised within the Raffinki nest, named after the river from which the tribe drew water. His upbringing was typical and once old enough he began assisting his parents and other members of the tribe.
He became interested in medicine after his mother fell ill one frost time, pursuing this interest he studied under the healers for sometime before encountering the lowlanders. After being introduced to wondrous technologies by infrequent merchants, he began experimenting and learning from the objects they purchased and wasted as a vanity for one's nest. This did not sit well with his elders and the young Rishi was frequently scolded.
It was early in his juvenile years that Pyeth was first introduced to the Jedi. Tensions between his tribe and the local mining industry had been bubbling over, causing minor skirmishes during the winter months as the Rishii struggled to compete with a recently acquired industry. Equally, a mysterious plague was afflicting the tribe, affecting many of the older members. When the Jedi came he and many of the others expected further trouble, perhaps warriors sent to try and push, dislodge them.
However, Pyeth was pleasantly surprised when they approached the situation diplomatically. Initially, he ignored the pair, but after witnessing the eldest of the pair tending to the wounded and sick she piqued his interest and Pyeth wouldn’t be far behind trailing them or asking questions about the outside world. Once the situation had been resolved, however, the pair left.

Once the situation had been resolved, however, the pair left.
Less than a year later, Pyeth would undergo a ritualistic hunt with his fellow clutchmates to prove their worth to the nest. Fashioning a spear from scraps and technologies he had gathered, the young Rishi would join his friends Aashi and Vedas in the hunt. Wishing to win the contest, the group agreed to prey upon a pride of Krak’jya that had been giving the nest some trouble, attacking livestock and driving wildlife further from their hunting territories. After spending several days preparing their ambush, they managed to wound and corner the beasts, when a new rival entered their arena. A Maungar drawn to the fighting and scent of blood turned their own design against them, as they attempted to flee Aashi became trapped in brambles.
Pyeth, not wishing to abandon his friend to her death, rushed to her defence, in the ensuing melee Pyeth was injured, coming close to death before somehow pushing his opponent off balance, allowing him to deliver a killing blow, saving Aashi but not before succumbing to exhaustion.
Pyeth woke up in the nest, to find himself subject to a case for exile brought against him by the hunt masters. He killed a sacred beast and while Aashi came to his defence the Vedas did not. Fearing he would somehow bring retribution upon the tribe, the decision was taken to exile Pyeth from the nest.
After leaving the nest peacefully he moved into the valley to take jobs from low-landers as a guide. This enabled him to learn a variety of galactic languages and two years later was fluent in Bothese, Rodese, and other popular galactic languages.
It was around this time, at the age of 15, that tensions began rising again after the local mining industry was taken over and old agreements are forgotten. When Pyeth attempted to return home, hoping to somehow defuse the situation but instead found he made the situation worse. The Chieftain was fully aware of his exploits in the valleys below, using it against him and forcing him once again from the nest.
Frustrated, he began his search again for the enigmatic Jedi, hoping they might somehow mediate the issue as they had done half a decade ago. Redeeming favours he had with some of the locals he learned that the Jedi he was seeking had long since gone off-world. Unable to afford let alone pilot a void craft of his own he instead found himself joining a merchants crew as an assistant to the ships doctor where he spent the next two years picking up basic skills along the way. Problem was the people he worked for didn't necessarily trade in legal merchandise and eventually, their activities caught the attention of rivals in the market.
This led to a conflict that came to a head on a trip to Nar Shaadar were they came under attack and separated. After attempts to find his new flock failed he began resuming his search for the elusive Jedi. Having little need for money during his time aboard the Rishii had built up a decent sum of capital, enough to at least to support his for adventures for some time giving him greater freedom.
