Wals Ebon
Selonian Jedi Padawan
Wals Ebon is a black-furred Selonian with a handful of irregular white stripes on his limbs. His sleek, mustelid build and the reclusiveness of the Selonian people make it uncommon knowledge that he is
extremely short and slender for his race, with a height of a mere 1.5 meters.
His pensive personality, tiny build, and cultural inclination towards complete and unabashed honesty give him a childlike air that is difficult to take seriously. This is not helped by the black robes he wears. They seem comically oversized, draping messily over him and obscuring his profile almost entirely. His padawan braid is woven into the fur between his left ear and his jawline, following the curve of his cheekbone. It is adorned with a single silver bead at the end.
Wals typically travels light, and carries a
lightsaber of his own design with an elaborate nested grip. It projects a yellow blade, whose core seems to waver unsteadily since it was damaged during the battle on Geonosis. Wals is can be seen constantly tuning the blade during practice to try and correct the issue.
He is currently under the mentorship of Master Kota. His original mentor was Master Shay, a noted Duros philosopher and blademaster of advanced age, who was killed in the attack on Geonosis.
Motivation: Faith (in the goodness of people)
Wals believes that everyone has in them the seed of goodness and compassion, and that every person is ultimately redeemable. Acts of evil are a result of ignorance and confused motivation, or of the cloud of uncontrolled passions.
Emotional Strength: Compassion
Wals sees the galaxy as a collection of struggling individuals. He feels profoundly the value of lives and the value of extending empathy and love to his fellow sentients.
Emotional Weakness: Obsession
The art of combat is the first place that Wals felt able to express himself, and felt the power and exhilaration of self-determination. His natural athleticism and his uncanny talent for swordsmanship has driven him to hone and perfect the art. He seeks to push his proficiency, to learn esoteric techniques, and challenge himself against both ally and adversary.
He struggles to balance this with the Jedi way of nonviolence, often leading him to vaccilate between extremes of action - withholding violence out of respect for his martial philosophy, or inflicting it with all of the skill and fervor he is capable of.
