Personality: Drasten often has a very cordial and witty personality, always enjoying a good talk and laugh, as well as usually attempting to be outgoing and lively. However, a lot of his cordiality is an attempt to cover up his more melancholy, angry, emotionless and darker side which he had developed during his years with his Inquisitor Uncle.

-Those who can't enjoy a good laugh
-Those with an extremely fixed mindset on different subjects
-Extreme Sadists
Goals: Discover new and interesting things, try to build a new life for himself, and let his dark past die (kill it if he must). On a side note, a more specific
Fears:
-Turning into his Uncle (though that won't stop him from exploring that side of the spectrum)

Background: Kellic was born Drasten Karnus in 10 BBY, the single child of Silla and Venn Karnus. Venn Karnus himself was a veteran of the Clone Wars and a respected soldier in the Imperial Army, though not necessarily the most well known. Considered an expert during the war and after the war, Venn was an officer in the Republic Military Engineering Corp and helped build structures and design weapons that helped the Republic, though his passion wasn't only restricted to engineering, it also included subjects from electronics to programming. After the war, Venn would continue serving, this time serving in the Imperial Military Engineering Corp, continuing to design new devices (not all necessarily military usage) and fighting in different conflicts, becoming decorated throughout that period and by 10 BBY had been promoted to Major, age 44.
When he became of age, Venn started teaching Drasten everything that he knew, Drasten being a quick learner soaked up all the knowledge like a sponge, and soon developing a love for machinery like his father. However, at age 12, Drasten suddenly showed signs of something that most Imperials dreaded: Force Sensitivity. Venn was able to use his contacts with fellow veterans as well as favours with other high ranking officials to keep his son's sensitivity secret and deeply under wraps, often attempting to dissuade Drasten from using the Force (of course, that didn't stop Drasten from secretly practising and secretly researching about the Force). However, one other person did know Drasten's special case: Venecis Karnus, Imperial Inquisitor (though publically only known as the 13th Brother) and brother of Venn Kellic. Venecis had found out after visiting Venn's private home, and entering without consent, stumbled upon Drasten lifting a book off a table with the Force. Venn was able to enter the scene before anything could happen and talked with Venecis.
Venecis promised not to tell Imperial Authorities, since simply killing Venn and taking the child wouldn't work (as he wanted Drasten for himself and not for the Inqusitorious), but over the span of several years would constantly try to convince Venn to hand Drasten over to him, Venn always refusing. Shortly after the Battle of Endor, Venn would be promoted to Colonel because of the loss of High Ranking Officers from the aftermath of the battle, requiring Venn to spend more time on the front lines. In 5 ABY, Venn would be Killed in Action during the Battle of Jakku, leaving Drasten and his mother to take care of the family business and fend off political and military rivals. After the death of his father, Drasten would fall into depression, however, he would recover a few years later. Disaster further struck for Drasten in 7 ABY, when Venecis, now having gone rogue, came back, killed Drasten's mother in front of him, and then abducted Drasten.
Venecis dreamed of turning Drasten into his apprentice, and with him would start recreating a New Empire for himself (Venecis at this point was, to be blunt, insane, too much dabbling in the dark side I suppose). When he captured Drasten he started teaching/forcing on him the ways of the Dark Side (well, what he knew anyway), using brutal and inhumane techniques to try and turn him, attempting to basically turn him into his own personal weapon. Drasten stood strong, however, and so the constant torture lasted for an unspecified amount of time. Eventually, Venecis switched tactics, using his own limited knowledge in the mind arts, Venecis raped Drasten's mind, ravaging his sanity, leaving Drasten mentally scarred for life. This time, Drasten, knowing that there was no resisting this, acted like he had been broken (he very much was on the brink already, so he might as well already have been).
After this, Venecis finally started training him in the ways of mainly lightsaber combat and limited Force knowledge. Drasten, once again, was faced with inhumane and brutal techniques of training. During one training session, Venecis sliced off Drasten's left arm, a lesson to "teach" Drasten what would happen in the face of failure. Drasten himself had to manually heal himself and later built his very own robotic arm with spare parts. He then had to install it manually. While conscious. Without any sedatives. In 9-10 ABY, after two years of brutal training, Veneics thought that Drasten was sufficiently broken and trained, and planned to finally deploy him, however, throughout these years Drasten had planned to kill Venecis. One day, while Venecis was not around, Drasten broke out of the barren room he was usually locked in and, using a deadly poison he had secretly stolen from Venecis several months before, poisoned his bath, which Drasten had known Venecis would always use just after returning from any type of trip.
After Venecis had returned and finished his bath, he summoned Drasten and was about to tell him of his decision before he suddenly felt very weak, his connection to the Force seemingly being disrupted, and a searing pain in his stomach. Venecis, quickly realising what was occurring, attempted to pull out his lightsaber, however, Drasten quickly stepped forwards, knocking the lightsaber aside and grabbing Venecis's neck with both hands. Drasten, with surprising strength for a malnourished and weakened teen, lifted Venecis up choking him, glaring at him with his eyes now flashing yellow. Venecis struggled, futilely attempting to get out of Drasten's grip, but was too weak, and soon his life was ended with a crack, his neck broken by the amount of pressure put onto it. Drasten's eyes flashed yellow a final time before they returned to his bright emerald eyes, widening as he dropped Venecis's now dead body in surprise, the carcass hitting the hard metal floor with a thud.
For a while Drasten had simply stood there, shocked that it had happened so fast and that after years that he was finally free. That day he had also tasted his first really pure "coming from the inside" darkside, and he found it.....bitter to say the least. Shortly after the pause, Drasten had gone to work, taking many of his former master's belongings, including a slightly damaged yellow lightsaber crystal that Venecis had bragged he'd taken from the body of a dead Jedi he had killed. Shortly afterwards, he left the compound where he had been kept and fled into space using Venecis's TIE Fighter. When he finally arrived on a planet with civilisation, he thought about what he was going to do next. Drasten at first wanted to become an engineer, however, he didn't exactly have the proper papers and identification to be applicable, and he doubted anyone would believe that he was the presumed dead son of the Kellic family, which at this point had also been dissolved, all of its ownings being taken by the Imperial Remnant.
Eventually, Drasten decided that he'd become a bounty hunter, as his combat training could be used for at least some purpose, plus he could use the extra credits. Drasten would join the Bounty Hunter's Guild (or New Bounty Hunter's Guild, depending on what lore you believe), putting his last name as Kellic, a name that would stick with him. Within a mere 6 months into his career, Drasten would establish himself the reputation of an efficient hunter, completing every objective almost perfectly. During this time Drasten would also sell Venecis's TIE Fighter, finding it too noticeable what with the war going on as well as unsuitable to bounty hunter work, and would later purchase a Mandalorian Kom'rk Class Fighter which he christened the Nexu, which he would come to love and modify heavily throughout the years (strangely enough, the ship itself had been found abandoned on Mandalore shortly after the end of the Civil War there, as in during the Clone Wars, and had been slightly varied from the normal versions already, seemingly having thicker armour and slightly larger, leading some people to believe that this specific Kom'rk had been Pre Vizsla's personal ship, Kellic himself being one of those believers).
By 12 ABY, Kellic would create a name for himself, being nicknamed the "Happy Hunter," because of his notable (and occasionally infamous) lively and outgoing attitude during missions. Kellic would work for the New Republic, Imperial Remnant and other organisations, however, he had a very strict moral code that he followed to the letter (eg: refused to take missions that included slaves, unless it was liberating them, abducting innocents, killing children, etc etc), which was another thing he was known for. Sometimes he would even take down his employer if he knew how bad he was (as in on the moral scale). During the same year, Drasten would finally come around to building his lightsaber, some of the components including parts from Venecis's lightsaber, and installed the yellow crystal that he had kept. It may have been damaged, but there was no way he was going to be using Venecis's crystal.
In 13 ABY, Drasten would continue a childhood interest he had: history and discovery. Drasten wanted to further continue his own study into the Force and past of Force-Using Orders like the Old Jedi Order, however, he found that there was only so much you can get from the black market and museums. So Drasten alongside his bounty hunter career also decided to pursue more contracts that included exploring mysterious, exotic areas and ancient archaeological sights, even going on private pursuits that didn't include contracts, becoming somewhat of an amateur historian and explorer. And so Drasten's life continued, taking contract after contract, mission after mission. The only notable events that occured in this period was Drasten's development of his own experimental cybernetic devices and implants, most times testing them on himself.
In 15 ABY, after about five years of his career, Drasten decided to join the call for the reformation of a New Jedi Order, travelling to D'Qar for a new adventure.
Skills:
-Expert in engineering and electronic devices
-Amature Adventurer and Historian
-Very good with blasters and marksmanship
-Enhanced human traits (cybernetics)
-Good duelist (main focus is Form II Makashi, however, is also quite skilled in Form V Djem So and Form VII Juyo)
-Quick and Eager Learner
-Fast Improviser
-A bit more resistant to pain (torture tend to numb you a bit)
Weaknesses:
-A sometimes fragile control over his darker side which he tries to cover with his witty and outgoing attitude. This could potentially make him slip up, allowing that darkness and anger in his heart to jump out and reveal it's ugly face
-EMP and Ion blasts would be able to malfunction and even disable Drasten's different cybernetics, especially his arm
-Specific events or actions might trigger Drasten's PTSD, though he does a fairly good job at hiding it, it may cause him to freeze up in certain combat situations, leaving him vulnerable in battles
-When in situations that require more heavy strikes or more heavy duty lightsaber forms, Drasten usually switches his lightsaber to its heavier form, making it more potent as well as bigger, however, this strains the lightsaber crystal he uses (which has been slightly damaged) making it more unstable, which shows in its appearance when activated (basically, imagine Kylo Ren's lightsaber blade). This may be exploited by enemies (in more so other force users), in which they could potentially short circuit it or even make it unstable enough to blow up (eg: disrupting some of its wiring or such with the Force)
-At times he may or may get potentially easily distracted in combat situations (whether through talking too much or things reminiscent of darker times, it may vary), though his general alertness of his surrounding area with the Force and cybernetics generally counter that
-This may not count as a weakness, however, Drasten tends to prefer to work with people being treated as partners rather than as one person serving under another. He is obviously okay with being treated as a sort of underling (duh), however, he may show a bit more rebellious behaviour if that's the case.
RP Example: It's an old post sir, but it checks out
DO NOT REMOVE: HK-47
Apprentices get gteen or blue bog standard lightsabers. No exceptions.
Furthermore force sensitives typically dont exhibit any case of force power s until after they've been trained. The Skywalkers being outliers and even then couldn't do anything without training.
