Predatory Dark Jedi Jawa! (You know you love the Jawa!) [thelegendofjer]

Hello! This character is for a mud I play, and it's for a future timeline, with that said, I don't want to step too much on artistic license.

The Character!

Aki'iz Mochok defends his tribe with all his skills, and will go to any lengths at all to protect the people he loves and the tribe that he calls home. That is, in fact, how he fell to the lure of the dark side. While stalking a Krayt Dragon to kill it in the usual way (lure it over a bunch of explosives), it attacked him first. Knowing that if he died, the Tuskens would overrun the warren and the sandcrawlers, he used the anger that those images caused to boost his strength and agility enough to arm the explosives and detonate them on the Krayt itself.

Later, after being picked up by the Jedi to train, he never lost his combatative, predatory mentality, the "kill the bad thing before it kills you" vibe. He was naturally gifted, but after training to the best of his ability, he again fell prey to the dark side while defending a group of unarmed villagers on an outpost world, and was outcast.

Aki'iz has not been taken over by the dark side fully, but he is invariably tainted with it (and might show some aspects of that taint.) and is prone to solving his problems with explosive and overwhelming violence. In spite of this taint, he still retains a moral code and uses all his darkest powers to serve the greater good of the community. The Jawa community first, of course, but everyone else is kind of a close second... (a la the Jenaasarai from the Michael Stackpole novel "I, Jedi")

Aki'iz, given his size and mentality, is a practitioner of Djem So, whose strong defense, sudden and intense aggression, and use of the force to enhance the user's strength appeal to him. (He is not, however, ONLY a Djem So practitioner, also being fairly skilled in Ataru, Niman, and their offshoot Jar'Kai.)

The Look:

I see him in a ready-stance of some kind, in half-armor half-robes vaguely reminiscent of the "General Obi-Wan Kenobi" stuff from the Clone Wars cartoons (in which he wears jedi robe bits over stormtrooper armor bits). I had thought that, given his background, he would still keep a lot of the Jawa pouches and paraphenalia, but it's possible he's left them behind (in order to better display his armor!). I have no preferences to color or design of lightsaber (although he could be using one or two, and they may or may not have curved hilts, or match.) or armor (except it needs to be heavy!), but I imagine his robes will probably be shredded or, at the very least, very badly worn. If there were to be a background, I could see him fighting a large Tatooine predator, or skulking through ancient ruins, or a cave, or standing out in the desert posing.
