Livintius Scipio "Skip" Xiss, Falleen Force-sensitive [silk]

I've loved the artwork on here for years - especially Tusserk and Mercy's works. I've used some before for character portraits, but would love to have one commissioned for a new character I'm working up, since I can't seem to find something that fits. So here goes nothing:

Personality: Cool, calm and detached, Livintius is your typical Falleen noble. He maintains his demeanor even in the most chaotic situations. However, hiding beneath this exterior, is a man deeply unhappy with himself. "Skip" to the few true friends that he has made in his travels away from Falleen does not approve or enjoy the sense of superiority his people have in regards to other species. In fact, deep down, he can feel that there is something more to the Galaxy, to all its peoples and cultures. In private moments he allows his feelings to show and he is very conflicted. While he truly enjoys helping others and finding his place in history, the power he has over others, and which has manifested in power over objects as well, unnerves him greatly.

Appearance: Livintius comes from an aristocratic family - as such he dresses well. Usually clothed in silks and other luxurious fabrics, he tends to wear tailored suits or formal robes that leave him with a good range of motion. His inky black hair is kept in a top knot and worn long, and his eyes glitter darkly to match it. As a testament to his control over his own reactions, his skin stays a cool shade of green in all but the most stressful situations. In private, when he lets others in, his skin can range from a pale blue to a deep rose. His claw nails are kept manicured and smooth, showing the world that he does not need them to be dangerous.

Background: Livintius Scipio Xiss was born to a lower class family on Falleen, his force-sensitivity overlooked by the emissaries of the Jedi Temple. To be fair, there was talk of war, and so the group that came through during the time that he would have been found only had time to tour the families of the upper class. Sadly, they missed an opportunity - Livintius was the younger brother of Zule Xiss, a talented and rising young padawan already chosen by the Jedi. The boy grew up knowing that his older sister had been taken well before he was born, and always dreamed of meeting her someday.

Eventually, the war took its toll on Falleen as well, and Livintius's parents were killed. Taken in by a wealthy family, he was raised as a noble of their house. Taught the ins and outs of subterfuge, control, politics, and interpersonal relationships, Livintius seemed to have a natural affinity for working with people and convincing them of his point of view. Additionally, he was always one step ahead of the other youths he learned with, and even his tutors sometimes. When he turned 19, his family sent him out into the greater Galaxy to learn of other cultures, as was customary of the ruling classes. While at first he seemed to be the typical Falleen, he soon found himself questioning the assumed superiority of his people and trying to look deeper into things. And in his journey he has found himself learning more than he ever thought possible. Now 26 standard years old, Livintius still has a decade of travel ahead of him before he becomes an adult by his people's standards and is able to return home and take his place at the head of one of the noble families and he intends to spend every last moment of that decade searching for the deeper truths of the Galaxy. A search which has led him to an out of the way space station in the Core...
