This is a custom character named Takal Rai. A Kel Dor Jedi that has fallen to the darkside and now prefers to do things his own way for his own personal gain.
I built up a character sheet, but the costume has since gone though a few more changes.

The Saber (Debellatio)
A home built hilt, from aluminium tubes and some parts from a broken MR Yoda Force FX saber, now powered by a Nano Biscotte V2 and triple cree LED.

As the costume looked the last time I wore it:

The boots I already had from motorbike use (I later found out how similar they are to Darth Mauls). I bought a Karate Gi from ebay and modified it slightly. Everything else has been hand made - the mask, hands, tabards, bracers, sash, belt and saber.

I'd love to get the chance to see this in person, it might just pull me down the wrong path.

Thanks for the positive comments guys.

It's not perfect, but I'm still learning - the mask took me two attempts to get it as it is and it's not exactly how I'd like it. It is recognised as a Kel Dor, but I think I get called "Plo Koon" so often whilst wearing it that I should have perhaps tried to recreate that costume anyway, lol.

The Kel Dor mask was only really a kind of testing phase for learning how to use latex to make a mask, I originally had the idea of making a Nautolan character but after the Mk 1 version of the Kel Dor I liked it and kind of "went with it".

This costume has shown me how much fun can be had in while dressed up in public.
