APPEARANCE:
An actual giant of a wolfman. Volke's physique is exceptional to the eye. For a giant he is well proportioned, only his hands seem a bit enlarged. Very muscular overall. Atop his head are two pointed fur covered ears. And a messy styled hairdo. His whole body is covered in white fur. Though he is not an albino. Volke has a canine face, muzzled, black nose, mouth filled with sharp teeth. Noticeably softer features than some of his race though. He also wears a leather harness over his head. Serving to cover up and protect his missing right eye, and act as a muzzle. The hunter predator instincts and all that. His legs are Digitigraded. He also has a long white tail covered in fur. Volkes normal attire consists of a white cotton collared shirt with the cuffs unfastened. A harness over top of that. Then a collared vest. A silk cloth pinned in place off the front harness strap is just for style. Regular trousers for his pants. His species do not wear footwear. Several belts on his arms and not picured on his tail are purely for fashion. Only the belt around his waist serves any function. And thick padded fingerless leather gloves are often worn by him. You may also have noticed all the metal on the various pieces of clothing. The knuckledusters on the gloves are brass. The studs on the upper gloves are steel. A gold ring adorns his left index finger. The belt buckles are silver. The pocket watch on his vest is aurodium. The diamond shaped pieces on his vests collar are platinum, while the large decorative buttons on his vest are aluminum. All these metals save for the pocket watch were aquirred by Volke himself. The watch is a family heirloom.
BIOGRAPHY:
Like most Shistavanen, Volke was born in the Uvena Syetem, specifically on Uvena Prime. His species homeworld. His childhood was fairly normal until adolescence. It was at that time a tiny tumor began pushing against the pituitary gland in his cranium. Resulting in an overproduction of growth hormones. He started growing much faster than other children around him. Still things carried on for a while before it became a concern requiring any medical investigation. By then he was almost 7 feet tall. And to make a long and complicated story short. Through blunder, wait and see if it would stop on its own. Test result delays. It wasn't until Volke was 19, and a towering 12'6" that surgery was undertaken. And only because the tumor, or perhaps a new cancerous tumor had developed. And by the time the cancer was discovered it was too late to save his right eye. A bleak outcome indeed. Yet undeterred our cheery boy continued on.
And of course through his bodies development to it's great height. Volke was losing mobility in his legs. Eventually only walking was possible. Too much pain in his joints for anything more. And not unassisted. Whether a cane, walking stick, or some other aid was needed to accomplish the task beyond a short jont. While most physical activities were now beyond reach. He still had options. Weightlifting was one such activity he took to with rigor. Swimming was another. Took to that like a dog to water.
Education is up to secondary school. Fairly studious. Knowing he was going to need to use his brain more than brawn in life. Volke has also taken up the male side of the families profession. Prospecting and mining. Seeking fortune from the earth.
There's alos the matter of his Force affinity. While from a young age those around him, and the old Jedi Order were aware of him. The constant wars let him slip through the cracks of serving in the Jedi Order. And with his medical issues it seems it is not to be. Perhaps then, The Force had a different path for him.
