[b]Name:[/b] Garrern Rayce [b]Race:[/b] Human [b]Age: [/b]26 [b]Appearance:[/b] [hider][img]https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/564x/3f/b3/66/3fb366b950548f919b148d3717689692.jpg[/img][/hider] Garrern is of above average height and build, indicative of someone who dedicated most of his life to physical combat. Armor clad and always masked, courtesy of Darth Rathos having sliced off his jaw, Garrern is an imposing presence on the battlefield. Although he only ever fights with a single saber he carries several additional ones under his robe. [b]Personality:[/b] Calm and stoic, Garrern is the most level headed of the group. Possessing of an analytical mind he bears great academical interest in all aspects and teachings of the force, regardless of alignment or the risks that might bring. His loyalty to his friends is a silent one, but make no mistake, all who endanger them shall meet their end on his blade. Sooner or later, yet inevitably so. [b]Powers:[/b] Garrern is a grandmaster of saber combat, surpassing Darth Rathos himself by the age of fifteen. His heavy armor and deceptively slow movements belie lightning quick counters and finesse that ended the lives of many a foe. If you can't engage him from a distance your only option is to run, for only death awaits those that come close. - Transcendent Telekinesis: Learning from the teachings of Jedi Master Yoda, Garrern has learned how to transcend the size and mass of objects, rather than overcoming them through force as a Sith would. This allows him to perform seemingly impossible feats of power, e.g. stopping an x-wing mid flight or lifting a crumbled building out of his way. However since his control over Force is incredibly low, any competent force user would be able to resist it, making this ability sub-optimal for direct combat. - Force Blast: As a means of compensating for his weak control, Garrern developed an ability to create a directed explosion through Force. Unlike a Force Push, the Force Blast is an indiscriminate shock-wave that mows down everything in its path, incapable of distinguishing targets. The power however, is unparalleled. On one occasion Garrern was able to topple an AT-AT walker with a single blast. Garrern is extraordinarily inept at the fine control of the force, incapable of things such as mind control or force lightning, but his brute power is unmatched. In combat his style is to go through the front - crushing, blasting or throwing his opposition away, while his far nimbler allies take care of routing the enemy into his blade and completing strategic objectives. The very definition of a front-line tank. [b]Bio:[/b] Abducted at the age of seven, Garrern keeps his past to himself. Whenever Ari or Sond would ask him about it, he'd always respond that he simply does not remember what his life before the Sith was. Throughout the years he came to be very protective of his friends, and did everything in his power to conceal their little "transgressions" as best he could. However it was his own curiosity that nearly became his undoing. At the age of thirteen, the three were part of a raid on a Jedi installation, under Darth Rathos's guidance. Garrern split off from the group and found his way into the archives, where a record of Jedi's teachings were held. Though under orders to destroy all record he chose to read them first. And what a read that was! The teachings of master Yoda, as recorded by one of Luke Skywalkers disciples in particular piqued his interest. At great risk he concealed a vast number of records and continued to study them. From that day forward he'd go on researching the teachings of the Light side, and seeking ways to combine them with his own dark teachings, attempting to find true power through balance. One day during a sparring session with his master, Garrern had the poor foresight to mention how some of the light side's teachings made for superior combat skill, as opposed to the dark side. Darth Rathos was... unamused. He struck out viciously at his disciple, searing off his jaw. It was only thanks to his own skill that Garrern avoided having his head taken off. Twelve hours at the surgeon's table later, he learned to keep his thoughts to himself and conceal his true thoughts at all times. Forever locked behind his mask Garrern became even quieter than he'd been before, waiting patiently for the day he would return the favor.
