Gaven Varss

Gaven Varss was a Human male Force-sensitive from Corellia and a member of the Dark Jedi of the Bogan. At the young age of only a month old, Gaven was brought into the Jedi Order and trained as a Jedi. Later, during a mission to Byss, he fell to the the dark side of the Force after giving into his anger at the death of his best friend. He was then expelled from the Order by the Jedi Council and ventured to to be trained as a Dark Jedi so as to gain revenge on the Jedi.

Early life
Gaven was born on the heavily Human populated world of Corellia where he lived until he was a month old. After which, he was found by the Jedi and taken into their Order. At the age of 16, during a training mission with his master on Byss, he fell to the dark side when he best friend, and fellow Padawan (Masters could have more than one apprentice at this time), was shot down in front of him by one of the criminals they were attempting to arrest. He fully gave into his rage and slaughtered the criminals, avenging his fallen friend.

Afterwards, he was brought before the Jedi Council, condemned for his actions, stripped of his Jedi lightsaber, and exiled from the Order forever. This caused Gaven intense hatred for the Jedi because, in his mind, he was only avenging a person he cared about. He was acting out of love and caring, which he though were essential to being a Jedi. Gaven then hunted down the Dark Jedi on Ando Prime and requested training from them.

Personality and traits
Gaven was a very calm and composed individual who rarely let others in on his thoughts. At times he could seem depressed, and perhaps he truly was, but he used this emotion to fuel the dark side in which he devoted himself to. Though a practitioner of the dark side, he would not show emotion unless it was necessary. Like fellow Dark Jedi, Val Laa, he was very loyal to those he calls his comrades; in fact the reason he turned to the dark side was the avenging of a friend of a friend.

Gaven was extremely cunning, devising strategies in mid battle to deceive his enemies and turn their emotions against them. Above all, he craved the power to protect those he cared about and destroy all who would hurt them and himself; thus his reason for being on the side of the Dark Jedi during the Hut War crisis. He also shared his Order's resent of the Jedi, having been exiled from their Order because he constantly gave into his emotions and inner desires.

Powers & abilities
Gaven had average-level strength for a Human, and, being in good shape, was also nimble and agile though not above normal standards. He was extremely smart, spending the majority of his free time studying ancient Dark Jedi texts and holocrons and had even attempted to make a holocron of his own, with little success, in his younger days. He was good at thinking outside the box and at solving puzzles. Gaven was an excellent pilot, even at 17, the time in which he joined the Dark Jedi. He was skilled with computers, but his most noticeable talents were those within the area of lightsaber and Force-based combat. His skills with the Force were stronger than most acolyte hopefuls, and his lightsaber skills were also above par, simply because he spent so much time practicing with his lightsabers. Lastly, Gaven was skilled in strategy and used it heavily in battle. Despite all his skills with a sword, he was a terrible user of blasters because he had horrible aim.

Lightsaber training
Gaven possesses two lightsabers; both were exactly identical. They both had rather plain, silver hilts with a rounded bottom to them. Towards the bottom of the handles were two red emitter buttons that allowed him to change the length of his respective blades, which would make both of his lightsabers dual-phased. The top button activated the lightsaber, giving the blade it's standard length of one meter. The bottom button shortened the length of the blade to about the length of a shoto. Both lightsabers emitted the famed crimson blade of the Dark Jedi.

Force training
It is not yet clear how strong he was with the Force. By the time he joined the Bogan, he had mastery of various telekinetic powers as well as.
