zacher_dorvin - Profile (original) (raw)

NAME: Zacher Dorvin ("ZAY-sure DOOR-vin")
AGE: 16
SPECIES: Zabrak
HOME WORLD: Iridonia
OCCUPATION: Student
GENDER: Male

FORCE SENSITIVITY: Yes, Average
FACTION: New Jedi Order

WEAKNESSES: Hot-headed and egocentric, Zacher often underestimates those around him. He also has a short fuse that often finds him in trouble. He is only average at acquiring new Force-oriented techniques.

STRENGTHS: Zacher is above average at hand-to-hand combat and seems to grasp lightsaber-oriented combat skills without trouble.

REPUTATION: Though Zacher is a talented duelist, his brash attitude leaves him both disliked and feared among the other students at the academy. Zacher is hardly aware of this, however, as most students hesitate to show him any ill-will to his face.

PERSONALITY: Zacher is a tough guy, and wants to be seen as strong. He hides any emotional displays that would cause an observer to think otherwise. Zacher’s worldview is a bitter one; he seems to have little time for friendship or fun, as he believes his destiny lies outside of such luxuries. Zacher often prefers to be alone and tries to train as hard as he can to become powerful. He resents most people by default, which is a defense mechanism he developed during his childhood on Iridonia in regards to his culturally unacceptable lineage. Zacher comes across as blunt and a bit of a bully, which may or may not necessarily be his intent.

BACKGROUND: Although he is outwardly tough, Zacher is sensitive about his Zabraki lineage. His clan is descended from a line of Zabrak who are not pure-blooded Iridonians, but instead a series of half-breeds. He physically appears to be one hundred percent Zabrak, but was met with hostility and prejudice on his home planet due to his non-Zabrak surname and lineage.

Discouraged by the poor treatment of his clan, Zacher began to fail at schooling and constantly acted out in various negative ways. He began to steal, sneak out at night, and bully those around him.

Frustrated, Zacher’s parents turned to a mentoring program. Zacher’s mentor, Jaleer Magnum, had a profound influence on Zacher’s line of thinking in concern to adversity; he suggested that Zacher, instead of falling into the stereotypes society had created for Zabrak of impure lineage, should try to prove them wrong- to prove that halfbloods could perform just as well as purebloods.

Zacher began to reapply himself at school, and dedicated himself to perfecting the various forms of Zabraki martial arts taught on Iridonia and held in high regard in the Iridonian culture. Eventually, word of the Jedi Academy found its way to Jaleer Magnum, who inspired Zacher to enroll and become a powerful Jedi Knight, proving to the whole Iridonian world that halfbloods could achieve great things.

PERSONAL INVENTORY: Zacher has a few changes of clothes, some saved credits, and various personal hygiene accessories. He also carries a worn broach, a family heirloom that has been passed down for generations. The piece is made of either stone or some type of animal bone, and Zacher is captivated by the mystery it carries.
