Name: Zheem Bass.
Race: Nautolan.
Age: 12.
Birthplace: Glee Anselm.
Allegiance: Jedi Order, Galactic Republic.
Status: Jedi hopeful.
Rank: Youngling.
Height: 4'8".
Weight: 84 lbs.
Appearance:
Zheem is a gaunt young boy who, relative to others his age, strikes a balance between short and tall. Appearing deceptively thin and delicate, truthfully his physical training grants him the lean and compact build of a swimmer. It makes him more agile than strong, though it bears repeating that such descriptors apply to him differently than they would an adult, or even a teenager. He is, ultimately, a child. A physically fit child, yes, but the fact remains that his physique currently remains highly underdeveloped for reasons beyond his control.
As a Nautolan, Zheem's appearance differs from humans, and indeed quite a few humanoids, in many different ways. Looking at him purely from the perspective of his own race, his features could be said to be rather girlish. His face is more slender than what is expected from males of his species, his forehead not quite as broad, and his nose smaller and more narrow rather than the norm - being wide and flat. Other Nautolans might call him something of a pretty boy in the making, though people outside his race would likely just see him as weirdly amphibian all the same, and probably not make the distinction.
His eyes are large, almost bulbous, dominant among his other facial features. Bereft of pupils, iris, or sclera, they are instead a uniform pitch dark, and gleam dully in the light like the carapaces of black beetles. This has the side effect of making his unfortunate habit of staring an uncomfortable experience for those involved. He doesn't need to blink all that often.
Characteristic of an amphibian race, Zheem's skin is smooth in texture and colored a light yellow-green, with darker green speckles here and there which are more densely concentrated on the fourteen long sensory tendrils he has in place of hair. Unlike some others of his race, Zheem does not decorate his head-tresses with bands or markings, which is indicative of his minimalistic preferences in dress as well. He wears the simple tunic, pants, and boots of the Jedi without any trace of variation, though he is fastidious almost to the point of being neurotic and therefore takes pains to remain neat and well-groomed at all times.
(Click here for an image roughly similar to what Zheem looks like. It isn't precisely suitable for his appearance - it depicts a female Nautolan, for starters - but pictures of octopus headed children are in short supply and her unimpressed expression matched Zheem's personality too perfectly for me to pass up. All credit for the image goes to jedi120 of deviantart.)
Personality:
In progress.
Ships/Vehicles: None.

A simple training lightsaber, green in color.

Body - Novice

Combat Training: (Unskilled, Novice, Apprentice, Adept, Expert, Master)
Melee - Unskilled
Ranged - Unskilled
He has acquired no experience or instruction whatsoever in the use of convential melee weapons or ranged weapons such as blasters, nor does he intend to in the near future.
Broken Gate - Novice
He has received some training in the Jedi Order's preferred style of unarmed combat, namely in striking vital points, basic joint locks, and disarming opponents. At the moment nothing much more sophisticated than what one might learn in your average self-defense class, though his studies on anatomy generally give him a good idea of the most vulnerable points of the body to target. This of course depends on race. While quite extensive for his age, his physiological knowledge does not encompass every known sentient species in the galaxy, or even a quarter of them for that matter.
Force Training: (Unskilled, Novice, Apprentice, Adept, Expert, Master)
None, aside from the basic skills that every Jedi knows.
Other Training: (Unskilled, Novice, Apprentice, Adept, Expert, Master)
Piloting - Novice
His experience is currently limited to simulators and training manuals, but he is learning.
General Knowledge - Apprentice
By and large more advanced in the cerebral studies than others his age. He also keeps abreast of current events, with special regard for the political landscape of the Galactic Republic and other major entities.
Swimming - Adept (Racial Ability)
Being of an aquatic species, it is no great surprise that Zheem is a natural-born swimmer. His physical training, which make him reasonably fit, as well as the fact that he doesn't need to come up for air means he can easily outpace most others in the water, even though he is child.
Pheromone Sensing - Adept (Racial Ability)
This is not so much a learned skill as it is a facet of his biology used through a combination of raw instinct and intuition, but it is important enough to be worth mentioning. The fourteen sensory tendrils sprouting from his head give him superior olfactory capabilities, to the point where he may detect the most subtle of pheromones exuding from someone and, extrapolating from that, gain an impression of that person's emotional state. Although he cannot sense such things in the air as well as he can underwater, his ability to do so is still quite significant.

So he's super intelligent? Is this straight-up intellect or is he similar to a savant?
