[hider=Jakali Harcor] [color=red]KIA[/color] [b]Name:[/b] Jakali Harcor [b]Species:[/b] Human [b]Age:[/b] 25 [b]Gender:[/b] Male [b]Faction:[/b] Sith Empire [b]Rank:[/b] Sith. Not [i]yet[/i] a Lord. [b]Appearance:[/b] [img]http://cdn.vanillaforums.com/baldursgate.vanillaforums.com/FileUpload/b0/23e560a3b05c4f3b1343f8bc1a767a.png[/img] Jakali stands six feet even, his frame strong and muscular from many hours spent training. He has dark brown shoulder length hair, brown eyes and a noticeable scar running down from his hairline to his eye. He wears [url=http://www.thedarkempire.org/uploads/7/2/4/4/7244347/1332319522.jpg]robes[/url] like many other Sith, but his are modified to his own liking. His most noticeable feature other than the scar on his face is [url=http://41.media.tumblr.com/b0aaa18aed35d725f71af50c0e1ca802/tumblr_njifkdNmdp1si96eio6_1280.jpg]his robotic arm[/url] which serves as his left arm after the previous one was 'removed'. The arm itself is not as advanced as it should be, while it works as a replacement arm, it doesn't help him that much in combat or with using the Force. It provides no bonuses in strength or speed and is very noticeable. [url=http://i665.photobucket.com/albums/vv17/TresteKorih/Lightsaber%20hilts/Lightsaber8.jpg]His lightsaber.[/url] [b]Notable Race Traits:[/b] N/A. [b]Flaws:[/b] - Obviously the robotic arm, its usable but still hampers his ability to use the Force with the arm, he is completely unable to and must use his other hand. - Jakali is extremly arrogant in his own abilities. He considers himself as the greatest Sith to ever walk the galaxy, though in his speech he tends to avoid saying this out loud, it's just something he has convinced himself and another thing he will gloat over a beaten opponent about. - He only truly cares about himself, while he acts like he cares about others, he does not. If he had to choose between one person or himself, he'd choose himself every time. If he had to save fifty children from a fire in expense of his own life then he wouldn't do save them. - He is completely driven by his own goals and has no qualms with killing or hurting others in order to achieve them. - Jakali is also down right terrible with a blaster. He's better off throwing it at his target rather than trying to use it. [b]Skills:[/b] - He knows the Lightsaber forms: Form I: Shii-Cho, Form IV: Ataru and Form V: Shien. He is by far most skilled in Form IV, having put most of his focus in that form. He is very skilled in the form, above the others he knows. - Jakali is very talented at twisting people and convincing them to listen to him. He has a way with words and isn't afraid to use other methods along this line, whether that be threats or even seduction. - He's capable of piloting a ship, nothing spectacular but he can fly one. [b]Force capabilities:[/b] - The basic Sith force abilities - Force Lightning - Force Scream - Crucitorn [b]Biography:[/b] Jakali was born on the Sith planet of Dromund Kaas, in the capital city, Kaas City. His parents were both very wealthy and he was their only child. He was pampered in his youth right up until the age of seven when he was discovered to be Force sensitive and then was sent off to the Sith academy. He excelled in training and showed great aptitude in lightsaber combat and the Force. His talent drew the attention of two jealous Sith in the academy and one night they tried to gang up on him, with the intention of either seriously hurting or even killing him. Fortunately for Jakali he was quick enough to counter the ambush and strike back at both the fools, badly injuring both and sending them out of the academy as a result. He was then selected as an apprentice by his new Sith master, Val Harand. He again showed potential under his master, but occasionally made mistakes which would lead to the day he lost his arm at seventeen years old. After failing a task his master challenged him to a duel, with no other choice Jakali agreed, a tingle of fear in him as his master ignited his blade and motioned for his apprentice to attack. Jakali gave it his all yet held back as he did not want to hurt his master, the man he was attacking and had no qualms. Slicing Jakali's weapon in half, then kicking his apprentice to the ground and removing the boy's left arm at the shoulder. Jakali screaming in shock the entire time. A mechanical arm was grafted onto him but it was not the same as an actual arm. It had five fingers and the full range of motions yet felt completely unnatural, as well as extremely noticeable. The roboticness of it prevented him from casting Force lightning from the hand, and in general hampered his ability with the Force. So he focused on combat from that point. His apprenticeship under Val Harand came to a premature end several months after that. Master Harand had been planning to kill another Sith, having harbored the grudge again the man for a previous incident. However, the man's own apprentice found out and promptly poisoned Val Harand. Jakali found out a short time later and was incredibly angry, he wanted to be the one to kill his cruel master, strike the man down for all the pain he caused upon him. He found out who poisoned Master Harand and has held a grudge against them ever since. After his apprenticeship unexpectedly ended, Jakali served the Empire loyally, he carved out a niche as a fierce warrior but also as an intelligent, charismatic man that put the mission ahead of everything else. He of course has managed to hide his true intentions, and was selected as one of the Sith for the mission to Coruscant. [b]Personality and/or Motivation:[/b] Jakali puts on the face of a charming, funny, sometimes flirty man, someone that will try to be your friend and get you to trust him. Behind this lies his true motives which are putting himself on top. He is a fierce fighter that enjoys combat, only when he is winning of course. He enjoys being on top and hates failure more than anything else. He also despises the Jedi for fearing the Force, blinding themselves to the true power of something they are lucky enough to be able to access. Jakali also hates their unnatural hiding of emotions, something that is central to life. [b]Player’s long term goals:[/b] While he hasn't fully planned out anything for the far future, he does want to fully scale the Sith ranks and then he wants to change things, run the galaxy his way, bring forth his own idea of peace that no one before has ever come close to. As of right now he is focused on pleasing Darth Nyiss and becoming a Lord, that would be a huge step forward for him. [b]Relations:[/b] Sish - He has worked alongside the Trandoshan before and admires the reptilian's prowess in combat. Jakali thinks that he could possibly manipulate Sish in the future, get the reptile on his side as he could be a very powerful ally in that instance. Jewel Namore - He has not had much interaction with her, but has heard things about her that interest him. She is a fierce lightsaber combatant, like himself and she is a Sith Lord. Maybe someone that he could try to gain the favor of. Darth Nyiss - He has not really spoken to her, but is very interested in her, how mysterious she is and how powerful she is. He wants to gain her favor, make himself stand out to her more than any of the other Sith. She may be the key to his long term goals. Zanna - He hates her, they have a bad history which he still despises her for, having come in conflict before. Jakali does not trust her one bit, if he had the opportunity to confront and strike her down hen he would take it. [b]Final Point - Secrets:[/b] PM'd the GMs. [/hider] [hider=Vivithe Lansha] [b]Name:[/b] Vivithe Lansha [b]Species: [/b] Human-Sith hybrid. 90% Human, 10% Red Sith. [b]Age: [/b] 36 [b]Gender: [/b] Female [b]Faction: [/b]Sith Empire [b]Rank: [/b] Sith Lord [b]Appearance: [/b] [hider=Vivithe] [img]https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/07/34/15/073415aa4d626ca00c331ed866834c0b.jpg[/img] [/hider] A woman of average height (5’5), she shows no physical signs of her Sith heritage, outwardly she is entirely human. Vivithe wears a more form fitting version of the typical Sith garb, over it she wears a cloak of a dark maroon color. Her curved hilt lightsaber sits on her belt when not in use. [b]Notable Characteristics of Species: [/b] N/A [b]Flaws: [/b] - Direct combat is not her forte, her main lightsaber form, Makashi, is not a form to be used while fighting waves of opponents. She’s skilled enough to hold her in a one on one battle, but a straight fight is always her absolute last option. - She’s not very strong physically, Vivithe is not a physically built woman, she’ll get pushed around and tossed all over in a fight. - She’s spineless, if she knows she is outmatched or her life is on the line then she’ll make a hasty retreat. If she can escape with her head still on her shoulders then she’ll put that over everything else. - A compulsive liar (which she is good at), overconfident and extremely paranoid. She’ll get others to trust her, but not the other way around. - Plays people like pieces on a chessboard, everyone has a calculated everchanging value. Not at all afraid to knock over some of the pieces if they outlive their usage. [b]Skills: [/b] - Vivithe is a very talented tactician and planner. Both on the actual battlefield and off of it. - Knows the lightsaber forms Makashi and Shien. - She is extremely charismatic, which entwrines with her talent at telling believable lies. She is utterly ruthless with what she wants and is not beyond seduction if it leads to a goal. Also a solid actor when the situation calls for it, sometimes playing the quivering victim to gain an advantage. - Quite skilled in the ways of the Force. [b]Force capabilities: [/b] Basic Sith powers Force Cloak Force lightning Drain Knowledge Comprehend Speech Telekinetic Whirlwind Force Slow [b]Biography: [/b] Vivithe was born to a very wealthy family, at a very early age her Force sensitivity was discovered by a Sith who was on her homeworld. She was sent to the Dromund Kaas academy and her new life began. It was a huge change for her, going from a life of luxury to one where she was punished for every mistake and expected to absorb every bit of information that she was fed. A smart girl even from a tender age, Vivithe did exactly what she needed to, her brain her greatest asset against the bigger kids in the Academy. When an Academy was established on the retaken Sith homeworld of Korriban she was brought there along with many of the others. Though very nervous about moving to a different world, especially one steeped in as much mystique as Korriban, Vivithe was also excited for a new challenge. She showcased a natural talent with the Force while on Korriban, which earned her some notoriety from some of her fellow students. After a messy encounter with three of them that left her with a black eye and bloody nose Vivithe decided to be much more secretive about her abilities. A frail girl even at a young age she couldn’t beat the others in a fist fight and tried to avoid physical conflict the best she could while at the Korriban Academy. After eight years on the Academy she was chosen as an apprentice for a Sith, who brought her into war. While she wasn’t suited on the frontline as she figured out after taking a blaster bolt to the knee, she showcased a natural ability off the frontlines and when commanding soldiers. When allowed to give her input before a battle she offered tactical advice, where certain shoulders should have gone, where to set traps, where to create chokepoints and more. At the age of twenty two her master died on the battlefield, struck down by a single Jedi. An enraged Vivithe drew her weapon and fought the man. She managed to gain the upperhand on the Jedi before bringing him to his knees with a powerful bolt of Force Lightning, then with the man’s eyes staring up at her in hopes of mercy she drove her lightsaber through his chest, taking his life, a smile on her face as she did it. She was withdrawn from the frontlines after that battle, fear the emotion in her as she wondered why, the young Vivithe was terrified that she had failed by letting her master die and was going to be punished for it. She was wrong, instead she was reassigned to serve within the Sphere of Military Strategy within the Empire. Vivithe was delighted at the prospect of leaving the frontlines behind, she was never a fighter, if she had kept getting thrown right into battle alongside the soldiers and battle hardened Sith then she most certainly would have died. Her new position amongst the Sphere gave her an opportunity to impress even further. It also being where she cultivated her more immoral personality, embarrassing her fellow new arrivals to the Sphere with her knowledge as well as her tendency to exploit any little mistake they made in their plans. Her first true example of her tactical talent was during the Battle of Ziost in which Republic Fleets stationed in orbit of the planet engaged the Sith Forces. After thirty days of combat, in which Vivithe contributed several ideas and tactics, the Empire won. The next battle she had a hand in, the Reconquest of Ord Radama was a far more bloodier affair, though the Empire won there were heavy casualties on both sides. This did not affect her planning, people died in war, it was expected, but she did commit two mistakes in her planning. A rare example of failure from the talented woman, she did not take it easily, as several of her superiors voiced their disappointment to her for it, they knowing she could have done better. Vivithe was also notably involved with the battle involving Darth Nyiss in which she deployed biochemical weaponry to defeat the Republic forces. Vivithe was fascinated by the idea, at first taken back by the brutality of it, including how a percentage of the Imperial forces were hit as well. But then she was impressed by it, it had brought victory to their side, which mattered most in the long run. During the last seven years of Minos Cluster Campaign is when she ushered her plans to become a more powerful Sith, not satisfied with being revered as just a skilled strategist. While contributing to the Campaign she took the opportunity to remove several of her opponents that blocked her ascent. Public embarrassment and the planting of crimes on her unlucky targets her favorite tactics. She coupled this with making friends in the right places, sometimes through blackmail, by within a year and half of the Sacking she had all of her pieces in the right spots, a following of people and a strong reputation. Her success within the Empire had earned her the loyalty and respect of many important people within the Imperial navy and army, though she has her fair share of people that are not happy with her tendency to throw away lives that aren't hers in pursuit of victory. She ascended to Sith Lord status, a feeling of genuine happiness within her. Vivithe had proven herself to everyone but herself as she was still not satisfied, she would only have to get even better in order to avoid an unwanted fate as being a Sith Lord also painted a target on her back. A confident smile was on her face when she got onboard the Kaggath. [b]Personality and/or Motivation: [/b] Vivithe Lansha, or Lady Lansha as she requests those below her refer to her as is a manipulative, dishonest woman, one never afraid to toss someone under the bus if it meant she got what she wanted. She’s extremely patient, especially for a Sith and always prefers to fight her battles outside of the battlefield, like she is playing a constant game of holochess. While not motivated by a want to feel superior, Lady Lansha expects respect from her subordinates. She’ll treat people she wants to control like her best friend, or her lover, constant disarming smiles accompanied by laughter, promises that make you want to wait on her every breath. While normally in control of her emotions, like every other Sith she will show moments of intense emotion, often the (few) times her plans go wrong, while in these bouts she tends to destroy everything and everyone around her. She rarely allows people second, and even more rarely third chances if they fail her. Several soldiers and officers under her command have been unceremoniously executed for failure which completely rested in their hands. She does respect honesty among her subordinates, though she herself isn’t exactly honest. [b]Player’s long term goals: [/b] Onboard the ship her primary goal is to please or supplement Nyiss. She’s willing to step all over whoever she needs to in order to accomplish this. On the way to that she would like to acquire one or two apprentices, hopefully ones that come from turned Jedi aboard the Kaggath. The Sith that she could have as her apprentice are too untrustworthy, recently turned Jedi can be molded much better. Ultimately she wants to amass a following, people loyal to her that follow every sentence she speaks. Whether that involves her trying to take over the galaxy or just a planet or two she has not decided yet. [b]Relations: [/b] Zanna - Met her once years ago when Zanna was with her master. Curious to meet her again. Darth Nyiss - She's a woman that Vivithe admires greatly. While she has not yet to meet her personally, she has heard much about her. [/hider] [hider=Denso Halsa] [b]Name:[/b] Denso Halsa [b]Species:[/b] [url=http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Kiffar]Kiffar[/url] [b]Age:[/b] 26 [b]Gender:[/b] Male [b]Faction:[/b] Jedi Order [b]Rank: [/b]Jedi Knight [b]Captive? [/b] Yes. [h2]Appearance: [/h2] [img]http://i876.photobucket.com/albums/ab325/kiflin/Starwars/Kelan__jedi_Knight_by_nattzvart2.jpg[/img] Denso stands 196 cm, he is a tall, muscular Jedi, his figure strong from constant, intense training. His eyes are brown, his hair long, black and braided. Scars can be found on his body from previous torture sessions, several on his left chest, a bad burn on his left forearm, a slight bend on his nose from a breakage. The most distinct features of his are the matching tattoos on each of his upper cheeks. Unlike many other Jedi he prefers to wear armor over robes, in battlefield situations he will always chose that. Unfortunately he isn’t wearing that anymore, his armor was taken from him and he instead was given a spare Imperial uniform which he has to wear as he has nothing else. The predicament has not made him happy. [h2]Notable Characteristics of Species:[/h2] [url=http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Psychometry]Natural Psychometry[/url] - Occurs in about one of every hundred Kiffar, he is one of them and can only read inanimate objects. [h2]Flaws:[/h2] - He limits his Psychometry out of fear, in the past he has used it twice on corpses, in these situations he experienced intense, powerful emotions from the bodies. Each time he used it on the corpses he experienced the finals moments before their deaths. Both of these instances are one of the few times he could recall feeling genuine terror and as such only uses the power on inanimate objects, even then he tries to avoid it unless it's necessary. - He’s better in groups, alone he doesn’t feel right, he feels best when he’s among others like him. Solitude isn’t something he enjoys like some others do. - Can be judgemental, this ties in with his strong sense of justice. He’ll often form his own judgements on people based on initial impressions or association. - Holds an anger inside of him over the death of Alih, another Jedi. He’s still trying to get it off his mind without letting it slip out and become public knowledge, but it is a difficult task as he hasn’t even been able to grieve for her. - Has a strong sense of sarcasm that he’ll often times go too far with, he has a strong sense of humor in general and tends to mock enemies which sometimes doesn’t go in his favor. - Denso has an ends justify the means kind of stance, which is quite unusual amongst the Jedi. Everything is fair in war, and if it gives the advantage to the Republic then he won’t think twice about at least considering it. [h2]Skills:[/h2] - Jar’Kai - He is most skilled and experienced with using dual lightsabers in combat. Through years of training he has developed a ferocious way to attack opponents with overwhelming swings from both blades, sheer speed was often enough to defeat weaker enemies. When fighting one opponent with a lightsaber he often uses one lightsaber for offense while parrying blows with the other. - Form IV: Ataru - One of the forms he is trained in, while not a master in it, he is quite capable while in form. While training in the form he employed dual blades, which are his weapon of choice in battle. - Form VI: Niman - The weakest form that he knows, it was one that he was first taught and was a natural way for him to develop into training in Jar’Kai style which Niman has taken a backseat to, also behind Ataru. - Denso is a talented strategist and tactician, he is best on the battlefield alongside the troops giving orders and creating plans on the fly. - Denso is an observant person with a sharp eye for detail, he’s always been able to remember the smallest details. As such it is difficult to catch him off guard. [h2]Force capabilities: [/h2] Basic Jedi Force powers Psychometry Crucitorn Force Stun [h2]Biography:[/h2] Denso was born on the Kiffar homeworld of Kiffu, a member of Clan Halsa, a small clan compared to many of the others. His natural psychometric powers got him noticed and he was set to become a Kiffu Guardian. Before he could go down that path a Jedi had come to his homeworld, there they took notice of Denso’s sensitivity to the Force. His people did not want him to be taken by the Order, but after an agreement was reached he moved offworld to the Jedi Temple on Alaris Prime. The journey there and his arrival was not something he enjoyed. During his life on Kiffu he had not seen many off worlders, the few that he had seen were merchants, people he had never interacted with. The Jedi that took him off his homeworld was the first non Kiffar he had ever spoken to. Another thing that he did not enjoy was the change from his arid, almost boring homeworld to the bustling jungle covered world of Alaris Prime. Though in time he would After the initial culture shock, he learned why he was brought to the strange new planet, to become a Jedi knight. His people had encountered them before, but Denso had never seen one with his own eyes. He was scared at first, but felt he needed to become one as he had already left his homeworld, to return now would mark him as a coward. So, he began his training as a Jedi. After showing promise and maturity he was apprenticed to a Togrutan Knight, Otunzo Ze, Otunzo was a skilled swordsman, one of the best knights that was trained in Jar’Kai, a form that harnessed the use of dual lightsabers. His master taught him this form, and it would become the one the boy would become most comfortable using. The war called and Denso entered it, guided by master Otunzo. They were given commanding roles on the frontlines, which is where Denso would find himself most at home on the battlefield. Alongside dozens of soldiers fighting at the front, no real glory to be made. That wasn’t what he wanted anyway, the unity was what he liked the most. The soldiers respected him, and he respected them. His master and him took part of several battles as the war went on, both managing to avoid any major injuries. But his time as an apprentice would soon come to an end, he would pass his Jedi Trials on his first attempt. From there on he and his master parted ways, he was on his own and headed back into the war. But before he went he would meet another Jedi Knight, a Twi’lek woman known as Alih. There was an instant connection between them, he was smitten with her but did not know how to act, as love was forbidden by the Jedi Code. They would end up fighting alongside each other soon, in Denso’s first battle as a full fledged Knight. The two ended up in a tight situation, as Sith forces had surrounded them and a small battalion of Republic soldiers. The group barely escaped with their lives, as reinforcements arrived when the odds seemed to be against them. He fought on more battles after that, earning respect from the soldiers that he fought alongside of, partly due to how willing he was to charge right into battle alongside the footsoldiers. His relationship with Alih grew much more intense, at first an awkward friendship, it eventually progressed into more. She became all that he thought of, both of them becoming paranoid about the Order finding about their relationship, he entertained the idea of proposing marriage to her, but that was another thing entirely, as that would require admitting to the Council about their relationship, and asking of them something that was not looked upon highly by many of the Jedi. His life changed when he was taken prisoner by the Sith during a small skirmish a few weeks before the Sacking took place. The soldiers he fought alongside were wiped out, he, a Jedi Knight was taken prisoner, Alih was on the ground with him, she too was taken prisoner. Torture was the first thing on the table as Denso refused to give any useful information. Denso did not break to his captors, despite the torture and humiliation that was inflicted upon him. Every time they asked for information he would provide false or the ancient kind, the location of a base? He’d give one from decades ago that had since been abandoned. He found strength in the Jedi Way, his knowledge of Crucitorn allowing him to endure physical torture. The one thing that concerned him the most was the status of Alih, which he did not know of for much of his time after he was initially captured. She was taken to another part of the base they were in, he assumed that she was alive and fighting like he was. But, he was wrong as during an interrogation session his captor revealed that they had killed another female Jedi who was captured with him. Alih was the only that would fit that as she was the only one with him. Denso had too hold back an outburst of pure emotion, he didn’t want to believe it. It wouldn’t be beyond the Sith to lie to him about it, to get him stressed to the point where he would break and give them what they wanted. He couldn’t ask either, as that would have shown that he cared for her, which the Sith would have exploited if they she was still alive. Before he could make sure he was transferred to the Kaggath, for reasons he did not know. [h2]Personality and/or Motivation:[/h2] Denso has a strong sense of humor, which he will use often, even in bad situations he’ll tend to crack jokes. He’s a friendly man, one that can easily make friends, but recent events have impacted him, there’s a sadness inside of him from all that he has seen and heard. The most recent event being the death of Alih, another Jedi he was romantic with. This has affected him negatively, his thoughts dwelling on it, part of it a disappointment at himself for not even being there to protect her. He has a strong belief in the Jedi Code and way of life, though he has some issues with it, more so the Jedi Council and some of their decisions. A firm believer in justice, he thinks the Jedi should concentrate more on bringing down the criminal underworld, such as breaking apart the gangs that infest it, and stopping their crimes which are often ignored. Denso also believes that the Republic and Jedi should not be afraid to make the more difficult decisions in war, because if they lose the war then they will both be wiped out by the Sith Empire. [h2]Player’s long term goals:[/h2] Denso is still in grief over the sacking, the death of friends and more importantly of Alih. His fate within the RP will be greatly influenced by this, he could fall to the dark side through his strong emotions over the tragedy, or find strength within the Light and remain a Jedi. If he survives the story and stays on the side of the Light then he will continue to fight the Sith for as long as he needs to. When the war ends then he would look to take his own apprentice. If he survives but falls to the dark side then he will become a more twisted version of himself, fueled by pure emotions. [h2]Relations: [/h2] - Jedi Knight Otunzo Ze: Was Denso’s master, taught his apprentice all he knows of lightsaber combat and the Jedi way. A Torgrunta, a master of the Jar’Kai lightsaber form. - Jedi Knight, Alih’kijuc (Alih): A close friend of Denso, they were romantically entwined, she was captured alongside him and he presumes that she is dead which he is in grief about. - Vebra Mirthios: He has fought alongside Denso in battle on several occasions. Denso respects and trusts him. Both of them trained on Alaris Prime, though did not meet until later. [h2]Final Point - Secrets: [/h2] His secret love affair is by far his greatest secret, it is the last thing he would ever reveal and would try his damndest to take the secret to his grave if its unveiling becomes a possibility when dealing with the enemy. It can be further exploited by the fact that he believes Alih is dead which has caused great emotional distress inside of Denso. [/hider]
