Appearance Face Claim • Henry Cavill Height & Weight • 6'3" 234lbs Overall Looks • Markus is a decently tall man, standing between six and six and a half feet tall, weighing slightly above average. He is far from overweight, having dense, hard muscle lining his body. He moves fast and strikes faster, a body honed for combat and while maybe not the most agile, he makes up for it with techniques. Markus has various scars over his body, years of fighting and battles. His most prominent visible is one running across his left eye, a lightsaber wound that has yet to fully face. Markus has longer hair, mostly white in color, but shot through with strands of black and grey; proving just how strong the Echani bloodline he has is to cut out much of the two tone hair all Firrerreo have. He wears it half tied back, keeping must of it from his eyes and besides that, lets it flow behind his back. He generally uses a strip of leather to tie it. As for clothing, Markus prefers to wear armor of some kind, generally medium armor but doesn't mind something heavier if he can remove it easily if needed. Over that he wears tunics and jedi clothing. He keeps his lightsabers on his belt at all times. Personality Profile If there was one word that was to describe Markus, it would be Grumpy. He has little care and patience for most things, preferring to get to the bottom of the topic and skipping all the smalltalk. This has made him a little distant at the temple, causing most younglings and padawans to shy away from him and second think about what they need to ask him, if anything. Markus is a realist, seeing the galaxy as it is and not sugar coating anything. Everyone can expect him to speak without a filter on whatever topic is at hand. wandering the galaxy for many years, he has accumulated his fair share of knowledge, if someone dares to ask him on it. One thing that he is horrible at is remembering names, and matching them to faces. it takes meeting someone a few times to get their names down, otherwise he just kinda grunts or yells at them to get their attention. Eventually he will get it down but the first meeting or two is usually the worst. He also tends to get names wrong of people who annoy him. Markus is no stranger to the pull of the darkside. With the resurgence of the Sith, he had his fair share of the influence that it has. His friends and allies also know that he is able to ignore it and push through with the full might, discipline and light of the Jedi and what they expect from him. In his off time, he is often meditating and counts that as his way to defeat the pull of the darkside. Background Father • Lusan. Firrerreo. Pilot. Deceased. Mother • Brianne Lsu. Firrerreo/echani.

Former Padawan. Jedi Master Aric. Former Master. Deceased. Overall History • Brianne and Lusan. One a Firrerreo, one a hybrid with Echani blood,  Never meant to meet for more than a few moments, but their lives intertwined, Their love story was met with a child, but Lusan was met with death before he could meet his son. In her anguish, Brianne gave up the unnamed boy to a Coruscant hospital, abandoning him and going off on her own. The infant was given the name Markus, and he kept his mother's family name, not explaining where it came from other than that it was his mothers. Regular testing showed that he was strong with the force, and the Jedi Acquisition officials came and picked up Markus, hopefully to give him a good life with the Jedi. Markus grew up in the middle of the pack, not too good at any single thing but being decent at most things. The only exception to this was dueling and meditation. Even at a young age he had excellent motor control required for expert dueling and controlling himself and an opponent in combat. Meditation was an oddity, the Jedi believed, for someone so young to be able to center himself when most of the other younglings could hardly sit still for any amount of time. Markus held at least a small amount of respect for what he was able to accomplish at a young age. Years passed and at the ripe young age of 12, Markus was picked up as a Padawan learner by a Jedi by the name of Aric, a aging Sephi Master who has trained many many Jedi and was still young and spry enough to keep doing so. Aric and Markus got along well, with Aric being serious, no nonsense master and Markus being serious as well. The two of them spent their first handful of years together in the wilds of Dantooine, Aric training Markus how to survive, as well as getting him use to combat. Markus was lighting quick with his lightsaber, and Aric often said it was like seeing a Loth-Wolf pack attacking, all rolled into one single young man. When Markus was 15, The Mandalorians attacked the Republic, which him and Aric didn't realize they did so until it was already done. Living in the wild didn't get much time for news, and they only realized what had happened after they returned from the legendary Crystal Caves on Dantooine, a odd place to be but where Aric took Markus to create his first lightsaber: a lavender blade igniting from the emitter. There was no reason for them to get engaged in the war directly and remained in and around the Dantooine temple for the duration of the conflict. At the age of 16 with the Mandalorian conflict resolved, the duo made their way to Coruscant, and began working from there, going on whatever missions the Jedi had for them, as well as Markus studying in the archives whenever he could. He had a fondness for reading and found it relaxing. Eventually, Markus grew old enough that he took the tests to become a Jedi Knight. As was predicted of him, he passed and was a full Jedi Knight. Everyone thought he would immediately take on a Padawan but to their surprise he didn't, saying he wasn't ready yet. He took a year to study and read and prepare to take on a Padawan. At the age of 23 he did so, a young girl named Eeuvoi, or Voi to shorten it up. She was very talented but had a large drawing to nature and the force in general over that of the Lightsaber. It was an odd match for the more combat driven Jedi but it all worked out. The two spent much time together in the temple of Coruscant and Dantooine, splitting their time between the two, with splits for missions as the Jedi saw fit. Over the years, Voi grew stronger and stronger, not just in the force but also as a saber duelist, and her growing helped Markus grow and discover himself moreso than he every thought he could. He found he was able to inter a state of meditation while in combat and duels, Battle meditation was something rare, and powerful, and suited Markus well. Years passed and Markus and Voi were on Dantooine, days before Voi was to return to Coruscant to become a Knight if she passed her test. The duo were set upon by a number of Mandalorian Mercenaries and slavers.The ambush went off nearly without a hitch, and was nearly successful. If it wasn't for Markus and the use of battle meditation both him and Voi would have been captured or worse. At least one made it out alive tho. The fight was furious, and after the few short minutes of it, only Markus stood alive, bodies strewn around. Voi laid nearby, surrounded herself by a handful of lightly armored slavers, however she did not survive the conflict. Markus is not ashamed to say he cried. Voi had so much ahead of her and she was ended early in a stupid ambush that shouldn't have happened. When he was able to compose himself, he took her lightsaber as a keepsake, in memory of his first padawan, and brought her body to Coruscant for a proper send off. At the age of 32 Markus should have become a Master with a fully trained Jedi Knight, but he remained a Knight, rocked by sadness and guilt at getting his Padawan killed. Markus spent the next five years solely on Coruscant, forging himself into a weapon, not only in body but in knowledge itself. He didn't want anything that happened like what happened to Voi happen to anyone else under his watch. It was his fuel, his new passion to become the absolute best he could be, and accept no substitute. During his extremely rough training, he constantly had some youngling, whenever he wasn't studying himself. He was in utter awe of Markus's ability to flow from one lightsaber form into another, and would do what he could to emulate the senior Jedi. The child's name was Ashton Fen, a human who had some good spunk to not be afraid of the ever training Knight. The kid could watch if he wanted, so thought Markus as they days and weeks melded together. By the end of the 5 years, Markus decided he had all he could take of basic combat training. He was skilled in all several forms of combat as well as his Battle Meditation, and he was exceptionally drawn to Form III, with explosive bits of Form VII thrown in. Many thought it was bad for Markus to dip into Form VII, but the Jedi believed it was getting rid of all the darkness that builds up inside. A release of all the frustration and anger that builds up inside.
