Character Profile:
Name:: Jarrax Volk
Physical Description::

Jarrax was covered in medium-length cream-white fur. It could change color slightly in order to correspond with the seasons on Savannah One, or his emotions. He had icy-blue eyes, with a canine-like head, medium-length muzzle, and pointy ears. A Yuuzhan Vong Commander gave him a slight, reddish scar over his left eye--courtesy of a duel on Yavin 13. On two legs, he stood at 6'6" (approx. 2 meters), with his tail adding another 3'5" (approx. 1 meter) onto that. He weighed 350 pounds. He had large front paws with opposable thumbs, like humans, and five razor sharp claws on each paw. His large back paws did not have opposable digits, though there were still five--and five claws as well. He had advanced balancing mechanisms, including a prehensile, lion-like, white-tufted tail, which enabled all the standard feline acrobatics, along with the ability to switch between locomotion on two or four legs. His tail possessed a sharp 5cm long spine, hidden by the tuft. Leonines, Jarrax included, had an extremely wide range of communication methods, from the usual vocal speech patterns, to intricate body language patterns, versatile canine/feline vocalizations, and some capacities for secondary languages. Jarrax also had a deep bass voice. He possessed fairly standard internal anatomy, though most organs were larger than human standard. His mane grew very slowly throughout his lifetime, becoming its fullest in old age.

Jarrax had standard Leonine dentition. The maxilla had six incisors, two canines, eight premolars, and four molars. The mandible had six incisors, two canines, eight premolars, and six molars. The fourth upper premolars and first lower molars constituted the carnassial teeth, which were essential tools for shearing flesh. The long canine teeth were also important, in that they held and subdued prey. Jarrax's teeth--indeed ALL Leonine teeth--were self-sharpening, and were much harder than human teeth, therefore requiring sharpening only VERY slightly, and lasted for his entire lifetime. His jaw structure was very strong and resilient, enabling him to crush organic material--and some non-organic material--with a pressure of 5000 pounds per square inch.

Jarrax's body structure was similar to that of a carnivorous predator: dense skeleton, heavily muscled, with resilient and flexible joints, extraordinarily sharp senses, and a highly refined nervous system. Jarrax's vision was very sharp--and he was able to see in three different modes. He had standard, night-vision, and thermal vision modes. His skeletal structure was extremely dense, partially accounting for his weight--and also preventing many broken bones. He was extremely well-muscled, allowing for powerful blows when fighting and subduing prey or an enemy, lithe and agile enough to evade or dodge many attacks, and also extremely fast--even running for medium distances on all fours at a natural top speed of 50 mph. He had a natural leaping and jumping ability, with the maximum vertical distance (from a slight running start) around 10 meters, or 33 feet. From a standing start, his horizontal leaping maximum was also about 10 meters. With a running start, this could be increased to 16 meters. His sense of smell was keen--able to discern individual scents even to 1 part in 100 million. Jarrax had a primal side to his nature, at very certain times becoming so strong as to cast what the Leonines called a Blood-Haze. This state of savagery greatly increased Jarrax's already formidable tolerance to injury, as well as increasing his strength. A Force-Technique Jarrax developed harnessed this Blood-Haze, but the Blood-Haze could also be artificially induced--with great potential for harm or death to Jarrax.

Leonines had long lifespans--and Jarrax was no exception. Reaching maturity early in life, unless disease, accident, or foul play claimed them, Leonines lived to be extremely old--but their maximum age was never recorded.

Character Background::

Jarrax was born in 4 ABY on Savannah One, a planet located just off the Rimma Trade Route, near the Minos Cluster, in the Elrood sector. His early life was spent in a family group almost like a tribal unit--much like the Wookiee family unit. Since Savannah One was a planet with a wide range of climes and climates, all in close range with each other, Jarrax had many opportunities to explore, and hone his skills at hunting, running, climbing, stalking, swimming, and leaping. While training under a variety of Masters as an apprentice, Jarrax received devastating news: his twin brother had been brutally murdered at the waterfalls near his home. The murderer was never found, but by using his brother's memories, Jarrax retained a silhouette of the murderer--and wanted to find him ever since. 

Being a predator, Jarrax had a great love of the hunt. When hunting or fighting, he was fierce and unrelenting, often laughing or roaring challenges to his opponents. Outside of combat however, Jarrax was much more calm, and could be very quiet or very loud as the impulse struck him. He was known for his patience with others--and also his impatience with events. He was an advocate of the Living Force, and advocated maintaining awareness of the future, but not at the expense of the moment. Though highly courageous, charismatic and utterly loyal, Jarrax was a loner by nature, only having a few close friends, but cordial with most other beings. Groups other than his family or close friends made him feel strained and restricted, and he had to continually work on teamwork skills during his early years. Jarrax eventually came to the point where he could tolerate working in large groups--though they still occasionally made him impatient. He carried a heavy burden during his life because of the murder of his brother. Because of cultural traditions, Jarrax felt he should have been able to prevent the murder of his brother, but was off-world at the time. Jarrax was a master of surprise and stealth, often scaring those who were least expecting it. He also loved giving surprises--and took his Padawan on more than one surprise journey.

850,000 friends and counting . . . . Relying almost exclusively on social media to get her message out, Palin has managed to carve out her own high-profile place in the national health care debate, on energy policy and on tort reform. I have only one more thing to say: GO PALIN! Wh00t!

Character Profile:
Name:: Zenith Mulgrew
Physical Description::

Zenith has black hair that is styled in the traditional Padawan braid. His eyes are a dark gray, and his skin is tanned. He is rather thin, but has a decent amount of muscle for his age. He wears traditional Padawan Jedi robes.

Character Background::

Zenith's family was a well-to-do family of traders who lived on Humbarine. At a young age, just like many other Padawans, he was found to be strong in the Force. After a few years of training as a youngling, he was taken as a Padawan by Mal'lik, who he is currently training under.

He is considered something of a rogue amongst the Jedi Council, as he is able to use a fair amount of Dark Side powers. He remains a part of the Order, however, as he claims to be able to keep his feeling and passion under control.
