Name: Chapaa'ai
Race: Wookiee
Age: 806
Height: 2,4 m
Weight: 213 kg
Eyes: Clear, deep blue
Fur colour: Dusty white - he was once completely black
Appearance: Chapaa'ai stands taller than the average Wookiee, though his high age is beginning to show. When he is walking, it is at a slow rate, and he is always supported by a thick branch, which he uses as a walking stic. Nevertheless, he still walks with the pride of a formidable warrior, and for good reason.
Chapaa'ai's fur is thick and long, and the long fur around his mouth and hanging from his chin is braided, almost as a beard.
Chaapa'ai wears leather shoulder pads and gunbelts from shoulder to shoulder.
instead of the traditional jedi belt, he wears a quillarat belt, obtained hundreds of years ago, when he entered adulthood
Personality: Chapaa'ai is probably one of the most patient and calm wookiees you'll ever come across. And his patience has only grown, as he himself grew older. No matter how many pups are pulling his fur, you'll never see him growl at them. Chapaa'ai strikes most beings as an incredible wise and intelligent Wookiee, and when faced with a question, he will never try to rush a decision or an answer. No, he will take the time needed, to come up with the proper solution.
However, his high age has had a negative effect. He is tired. Chapaa'ai has, in some ways, seen too much, seen too many wars, lost too many friends, and he is a tired Wookiee. Sometimes you'll find him sitting in a chair, just staring blankly in front of him, and he has been known to fall asleep during the council meetings. Nevetheless, he is loved and respected by masters and padawans alike.
Background: To describe Chapaa'ai's lifestory would take days. Indeed, it would turn into an entire novel, for in his hundreds of years, he has seen more than most Jedi Masters. As all Jedis, he was taken from his family on Kashyyyk at a very young age, and brought to the jedi temple on coruscant, where he spend his childhood as a devoted student, being taught in the ways of the force.
Upon reaching early adolescence, he was chosen as a padawan, by the kind Togruta Master Tavrie Cynthisa, who patiently trained him. The two of them developed a deep bond of understanding, and it was Tavrie Cynthisa, who accompanied him to Kashyyyk, when it was time for Chapaa'ai to undergo the rite of passage and aquire the quiallarat belt.
Chapaa'ai has always served the order loyally and without doubt or hesitation, and it was no surprise when he was appointed senior council member 200 years ago. A position he still holds.
When of the worst things he has experienced in his long life was the passing of his Master. But Togrutas simply do not live as long as Wookiees, and although it hurt, Chapaa'ai accepted that his master had become one with the force.
