Blokere Dystraay
Species:
Zabrak
Age:
28
Gender:
male
Faction:
Jedi Order
Rank:
Jedi Knight
Captive?
No, he's going to rescue peoples butts and kick some butt!

Appearance:

Blokere

Being pure Zabrak, Blokere has all the traits of his people. He has red skin and thirteen orat crowning his head. He is a tall, lean and muscular man standing about 6'3. His Jat'o and Jat'i are black in colour. He has red eyes that match his skin and no hair.
Blokere wears the normal Jedi clothing, though he

Notable Race Traits:

Red Skin - Being a Zabrak means having different coloured skin and vibrant Jat'o and Jat'i, which give away his clan and family heritage. (to those that know how to read them)
Horns/Orat/Nails - His orat are a durable and sharp which can rip through flesh if need be, the way they are placed on his head is also a sign of his clan on his homeworld. His fingernails are sturdy and sharp and can cut through flesh just like his horns, if not better.
Eyesight - Zabrak's have great eye sight and can see colours more sharply, but they can also see in near darkness. (like a cat)
Skeleton - His skeletal structure is denser and more rigid than most other species, which makes it hard to break.
Hearing/Smelling - Since Zabrak's are carnivores by nature they have a heightened sense of smell and hearing, with scent being stronger of the two. A Zabrak can recognize a person by their smell, what possibly their emotional state is at the time of meeting.
Pain Tolerance - Zabrak's are known for their high resistance to pain when it comes to torture and serious wounds.
Extreme Heat Tolerance - Coming from a dry and hot planet, Blokere is able to tolerate much higher temperatures of heat and for much longer than most species.

Flaws:

Cold Tolerance - Because his species and tolerate high heat, means that they were ill suited for cold conditions
Eye Sight - Even though his species has great eye sight, they can't adapt to sudden changes in light, so a flash bang will hurt them.
Pain Tolerance - Even though Zabrak's can take a beating, sometimes they can forget that they need to take time to rest and heal.
Immunity to Disease - Though his kind are hardy and rarely get sick, if an ailment does strike them it usually means something is seriously wrong. Most will be unable to do much other than rest and hope to recover.
Skeleton - Because Zabrak's skeletons are naturally dense means that they lack the speed of some other species. Plus breaking a bone is a pain in the arse, and takes a long time to heal.
Pride - Because his species are a proud people, they don't take kindly to insults or threats even if the threat was a bluff. (Someone going to get a hurt real bad)

Skills:

Being a Iridonian - Speaking Ul’ Zabrak, hunting, tracking, practice combat and martial art training are skills highly prized by the Zabrak, including himself.
Lightsaber combat -
Hand to Hand Combat - Being from a culture of warriors, it is only right that he learned that art of fighting without weapons.
Quick Thinking - He can make up his mind quickly and make up another plan fast if in a pinch
Calmer/Soother - He can calm just about anyone and help sooth their pain, he's not sure how he doesn't it, he only knows he can.

Force capabilities:

- All basic Force abilities
- Force Empathy
- Tutaminis (adv)
- Revitalize

Biography:

Blokere Dystraay was born on his peoples homeworld, Iridonia, to his Father Bekk and his Mother Dret. He was an only child as there were many complications during his birth which nearly caused the death of his mother. In fear of having more complications or possibly death, his parents chose to only have him. With only one child they devoted much love and care to their son, while also teaching him what it meant to be a Zabrak. His father took him on many hunting trips and taught him the value of respecting nature and the thing you are hunting. "No matter how smart or how simple the thing you are hunting is, always show respect and never under estimate." Was a saying that his father always repeated every trip. From his fathers teachings he became a good hunter and tracker, and from his mother he learned the art of combat.

His ability to use the force became known when his mother nearly dropped a plate while cleaning. Instead of the plate shattering on the floor like it should have, it was floating in the air and placed gently on the ground. His parents became dismayed as they had no idea how to use the force, but wanting only the best for their son they contacted the Jedi. Blokere was only eight years old when a human Jedi came and took him to Coruscant to be trained. There he flourished and learned, though it was noted that his pride could get in the way of his training. But as he was going into puberty the Jedi sent him home, in order to undergo the rite of passage that only his Clan could preform.

During this trying time when his hormones were in flux, he took those time to meditate and strengthen his connection with the force. While others that were undergoing the change as well were causing trouble and fighting, he was in a calm state and finding peace in what he had learned from his master Olin Avith. When it came time to take the Res Selenoren he felt ready for it, he knew that his Rite would be harder than the others as he had the force. The tests tested him physically, mentally and emotionally and once he completed them he proved himself worthy of being one of the clan. Shortly after the Rite he got his Jat'o and his Jat'i, and he wears them proudly.

Once all the Rites had been preformed he went back to Coruscant to continue his training with Master Olin Avith. He spent many years learning and making mistakes, but with the stern and gentle hand of his master he was guided to a greater understanding of the Force and finding peace. But still he finds it hard to not to feel for his aging parents, he knows he can love them but having strong attachments can lead to a fall if not properly managed. But despite this he became a Jedi Knight, ready to take an apprentice..... or maybe later.

Getting proper leave to visit his parents, he went to his homeworld. Upon getting there his mother took him to her original Clan, but instead of being greeted with smiles, they were told that Taishma had been seriously hurt. Blokere could feel the pain of those around him as if it was his own, he wished to help them. But they were to late in getting there and he knew that Taishma would soon die. He watched as the family and clan went into mourning, that was when he noticed that two of the children were force sensitive. He couldn't help but wonder why he hadn't seen them in the Jedi temple. He wished to talk to them, but his mother told him not to.

While away from Coruscant on unofficial business he got news that the Temple had been attacked, his first instinct was to rush back. But the words of his old Master and his father came to mind. He would have to go about this with a sound and clear mind, make a plan and act on it.

Personality and/or Motivation:

Blokere can be hard headed at times, but mostly he trusts his gut and thinks thing through. (which is why most think he is hard headed) He can be an idealist with wanting to do things so everyone benefits, even if its not practical. He likes to find peace, even in the small things, he has to with all the horror he has seen in the galaxy. He is clever or at least he thinks he is, as he always finds a way to get out of trouble. (that's after getting himself into it in the first place)
He has a habit of rubbing the back of his neck when he is confused, stressed, frustrated, or tired. (so he his rubbing his neck nearly all the time.)
Blokere tries to find time to meditate each day as he tends to get cranky if he doesn't, its a habit he doesn't intend to break anytime soon.

Dark Side
In order to make Blokere turn to the dark side, one must give him a damn good reason to turn. They can threaten and/or kill what little family he has, he will not budge. But maybe romantic love will be his down fall, as thats one thing he wishes to have.

Light Side
Blokere is strong in the force and keeps to its code strictly, he finds no greater peace anywhere else in all the galaxy. And he puts others before himself in nearly all things.

Player’s long term goals:

Blokere wishes to save those of the Order and if possible save those that had fallen to the dark side. He will meet this goal even if it means death for him. "There is no greater sacrifice, than giving ones life for another. No matter how unworthy they might be."

Relations:

Olin Avith - He was Blokere's Jedi Master for many years and a strong willed man that believed in his padawan. Last the Blokere heard was that he was at the Jedi temple when it was sacked.
Jayda Mirthios - He didn't know her personally, but he knew that she was part of his mothers old Clan. He also knows that she is force sensitive and was hurting the last time he saw her. He wonders about her often.

Final Point - Secrets: N/A at the moment.

There we go, let me know what needs to be changed or added :)

@my Lalia

Re-read one of the last bits "Players" long term goals not characters :P

Also again, if you visited Manaan in the past couple of years we can add Koren onto your relations bit. Maybe come up with a story.

[Sonatina]

@Sep, thank you for clearing that up. Also I don't see why Miran wouldn't have visited Manaan at some point in her work.

[Sep]

@Sep, thank you for clearing that up. Also I don't see why Miran wouldn't have visited Manaan at some point in her work.

@Sonatina

Well if you come up with any cool ideas, either a mission or relaxation.

Feel free to PM them over and we'll see if we can work something out. Unless you want a simple "They've seen eachother before".

[Sonatina]

I'll get to it after work today. :)

[Sep]

I'll get to it after work today. :)

@Sonatina

Well I too am at work. So yeah.

[Ellri]

@Sonatina
You mention her having learned piloting. That can mean a lot. What sort of piloting was it? Do you know how to fly capital ships? Fighters/bombers in combat? Small shuttles? Freighters?
Is your character good at it, or just passable?

---

The problem with a good number of sith artifacts, especially the more powerful ones, is that they’re not easily destroyed. Some even prove nigh impossible to destroy. Other times, it is too dangerous to destroy them. As such, Jedi Shadows more often than not work to contain the Sith artifacts.

For the ones too big to move, they do their best to neutralize them. Sometimes, that comes only in the form of trying to erase all knowledge of their existence. For smaller artifacts, they might bury them, or they take them back home to be stored in a safe place.

Holocrons for example, are remarkably hardy. They’re nearly impossible to destroy. If you should be able to destroy a powerful artifact of the Dark Side, you are almost guaranteed that there will be reverberations through the Force because of that destruction. Possibly even detrimental effects upon the one destroying it. It is for this reason that the Jedi more often than not try to lock up such artifacts. Locked up and buried deep, they pose no harm anytime soon, and may even be forgotten by all.

In vaults deep within the Jedi Temple on Coruscant, there is a large number of Sith Holocrons, simply because they’re too difficult to destroy. Other Jedi enclaves frequently also have such vaults, but the largest stockpile is in the Coruscanti Temple.

---

Another point of note is that Jedi Shadows don’t merely work behind enemy lines. That in itself is dangerous. The true danger is that they cross friendly and enemy lines frequently. Each time they cross the lines, they risk getting caught. A spy, on the other hand, typically only crosses the lines twice. Once to get in, once to get out. A spy typically also has a fairly well-established cover when going in, whereas a Jedi Shadow might not have time to establish such. When a particularly nasty artifact comes to light, Jedi shadows need to get to it before the Sith do.

---

The point “Player’s long term goals” is chiefly aimed at what you as a player hope to aim your character towards. Do you see her stay true to the light? Do you see her being tempted by the dark side? What will she work on?

---

Feel free to add relations to people if it feels like it fits. Just inform them so they can suggest expansions and/or corrections.

Fallen and Echo may also come with additional points later, but this should cover most of it.

To all players:

Those of you who haven't done it yet, would you please write out and PM the CS component under the: "Additional requirement for all characters" hider to all three GMs?

Similarly, if your character has any secrets you want the GMs to be aware of but not any of the other players, that can be PM'd too.

Right now, only six player characters have their exit scenes in order. With 11 approved player character sheets, that means at least five you need to get to work.

Biography:

Blokere Dystraay was born on his people's homeworld, Iridonia, to his Father Bekk and his Mother Dret. He was an only child as there were many complications during his birth which nearly caused the death of his mother. In fear of having more complications or possibly death, his parents chose to only have him. With only one child they devoted much love and care to their son, while also teaching him what it meant to be a Zabrak. His father took him on many hunting trips and taught him the value of respecting nature and the thing you are hunting. "No matter how smart or how simple the thing you are hunting is, always show respect and never under estimate." Was a saying that his father always repeated every trip. His mother became well versed in combat when her clan went to war with another, when the other clan did not uphold their end of a trade agreement. She was the one that taught their son how to fight and show no quarter or mercy. From his father’s teachings he became a good hunter and tracker, and from his mother he learned the art of combat.

His ability to use the force became known when his mother nearly dropped a plate while cleaning. Instead of the plate shattering on the floor like it should have, it was floating in the air and placed gently on the ground. His parents became dismayed as they had no idea how to use the force, but wanting only the best for their son they contacted the Jedi in Coruscant as they knew that was the best place to send him. Plus they knew someone from the Clan was there and that he would at least look out for the boy, they also knew that once he joined the Order, he would have to cut ties and so they wanted him as far away from them as they could manage. Blokere was only eight years old when a Zabrak Jedi came and took him to Coruscant to be trained. There he flourished and learned, though it was noted that his pride could get in the way of his training. But as he was going into puberty the Jedi sent him home, in order to undergo the rite of passage that only his Clan could preform. Though before leaving the Council made sure that he got a Master (To make Sure That He Did not fall prey to the Dark Side), who happened to be his combat teacher Olin Avith.

Olin, could see great potential in the young Zabrak and wished to make him into a warrior of the people. Someone that will fight for those in need and stop oppression wherever it might be. But Olin was also fascinated with his species, he knew many of his kind seem to fall to the Dark Side, he wished to see that cycle end with Blokere. But in order to help break that cycle he needed to be at the Rite of Passage with his padawan and make sure he did not fall short of the Jedi Code.

During this trying time when his hormones were in flux, he took time to meditate and strengthen his connection with the force with his master’s guidance. While others that were undergoing the change were causing trouble and fighting, he was in a calm state and finding peace in what he had learned from his master Olin Avith. When it came time to take the Res Selenoren he felt ready for it, he knew that his Rite would be harder than the others as he had the Force. The tests tested him physically, mentally and emotionally and once he completed them he proved himself worthy of being one of the clan. But while during his Rite, he happened across a green lightsaber crystal. This also confirmed to Olin that he had chosen the right padawan to take under his wing. Shortly after the Rite he got his Jat'o and his Jat'i, and he wears them proudly.

Once all the Rites had been performed he went back to Coruscant to continue his training with Master Olin Avith and to meditate on the crystal he found and to build his own lightsaber. He fashioned the Saber like that of his master, with a slight bend in the hilt to allow for greater speed and moveability in combat.

He spent many years learning and making mistakes, but with the stern and gentle hand of his master he was guided to a greater understanding of the Force and finding peace. It was during those years that he manifested the ability to feel the emotions of those around him. This caused him to become distracted when someone’s feelings or pain was strong.
Master Olin Avith was a tough and stern man and wanted his padawan to learn skills that could save his life. One that he placed high on the ways of the force was Tutaminis, he would spend hours teaching this skill to Blokere. He failed often, but he slowly got stronger as time went on. He can now hold off an attack for a short time, if held for too long he becomes weak and must stop. But despite this he became a Jedi Knight, ready to take an apprentice..... or maybe later. He doesn’t feel ready to take a padawan and he wishes to get more experience before being responsible for a young one’s life.

But still he finds it hard to not to feel for his aging parents, he knows he can love them but having strong attachments can lead to a fall if not properly managed. Getting proper leave to visit his parents before cutting ties forever, he went to his homeworld. Upon getting there his mother took him to her original Clan, but instead of being greeted with smiles, they were told that Taishma had been seriously hurt. Blokere could feel the pain of those around him as if it was his own, he wished to help them. But they were too late in getting there and he knew that Taishma would soon die. He watched as the family and clan went into mourning, that was when he noticed that two of the children were force sensitive. He couldn't help but wonder why he hadn't seen them in the Jedi temple. He wished to talk to them, to ask why he had not seen them at the Jedi Temple or in any of his travels, but his mother told him not to. Why his mother said no, is something that he ponders often. Maybe it was to spare the family pain of the questions or maybe it was something his mother knew, that he did not.

While away from Coruscant on unofficial business he got news that the Temple had been attacked, his first instinct was to rush back. But the words of his old Master and his father came to mind. He would have to go about this with a sound and clear mind, make a plan and act on it.

Blokere tries to find time to meditate each day as he tends to get cranky if he doesn't, its a habit he doesn't intend to break anytime soon.

Player’s long term goals:

I don't see Blokere going easily to the dark side. Which will most likely lead to his death if caught. Though I would like to see him tested. The only way I can see him turning is what is mentioned below. He often lives by this saying, "There is no greater sacrifice, than giving ones life for another. No matter how unworthy they might be. "

Dark Side
In order to make Blokere turn to the dark side, one must give him a damn good reason to turn. They can threaten and/or kill what little family he has, he will not budge. But maybe romantic love will be his down fall, as thats one thing he wishes to have.

Oh and mostly I just want to have fun :)

Relations:

Jayda Mirthios - He didn't know her personally, but he knew that she was part of his mothers old Clan. He also knows that she is force sensitive and was hurting the last time he saw her. He wonders about her often.
Koren Omi-Ren - Met on Manaan when Blokere was on leave, they talked and practiced revitalization together.

None. Once the bulb has gone to the Dark Side there's no chance of redemption.

Hey, the Sith side of the Dark Side is fun!

Ven'ren

Name: Ven'ren Dijktra
Species: Human
Age: 22
Gender: Male
Faction: Sith Empire
Rank: Apprentice

Appearance: Ven'ren likes wearing his plain acolytes mask all the time, though he does not really need to hide anything, since looks quite alright aside from appearing like he suffers from chronic lack of sleep. When masked, those used to him can read expressions by the angle he tilts his head. He is thin, and when seen, pale and dark-haired.

Flaws: Ven'ren has lost nearly all connection he ever had to the light side, and most of the things he was taught by the Jedi are useless to him now. Added to that, his education in the ways of the Dark Side is incomplete and chaotic. His connection to the force itself is strong, but most of the information he recieves he cannot make sense of at all. In addition the the mistrust Sith feel for eachother in general, the posibility of some Jedi remaining in Ven'ren's scrambled mind makes him even harder to trust and a target to those who do not find him useful. He is rather useful to those that control him, however, both smart, skilled and cooperative when he is allowed to act according to his own goals and motivations.

Skills: He is skilled with lightsabers. He is mainly a Makashii user, but also remembers some of the Soresu he was trained in as a Jedi. He is also far sharper that his behaviour usually suggests. He usually knows when he is being manipulated, but appears not to be especially bothered by it. He is an easy man to underestimate and one might forget he has survived amongst the sith for this long for a reason. He has a strong albeit somewhat chaotic connection to the force, making him hard to surprise and causing him to pick up on things not otherwise made clear, such as peoples emotions.

Force capabilities: Force Empathy. His Force Sense, Sight and Precognition are also strong. He is better at controlling his own body (with speed for example) than he is at controlling other things around him.

Biography: Ven'ren was made a knight at 17, and was captured by the Sith later the same year. Using the classic trick of threatening his friends, the sith got him to cooperate with them and he was later brought to Korriban for re-education. His cooperation with sith along with his fierce hatred for them started turning him to the dark side. It grew worse on Korriban, due both to the training and the fact that he was constantly surrounded by Dark Side influence, and that there was little around him that he did not hate. Unsurprisingly, his mind took a blow from this and he started to lose his sanity. He survived due to his intelligence and adaptability along with good combat skills he had previously learned from the Jedi.

Most of his time on Korriban was spent in the caves of one of the old temples where initiates were commonly tested. He attacked or helped these initiates on a ground of how much he liked them, and was in that regard interfering with the 'strongest survives' part of the testing. He was, in due time, picked up from there by Darth Sathren, who thought that Ven's survival alone in that cave for so long was a testament to his strength and adaptability. Ven was, when found, animalistic, paranoid and barely speaking, but perfectly coherent when he did so and appeared to understand his situation perfectly. He was easily convinced of leaving. He did, at that point, have the ability to see Sith as individuals, even though he kept his hatred for them at large.

Darth Sathren was at that point already old and it was known that physical strength was fading and that he would soon be replaced by a younger Sith. The Darth had many important things to do, and more than one young sith to train, but did take time for Ven'ren once in a while. This is were Ven was introduced to most of the ways of the Sith. The Darth's training mostly consisted of tormenting his apprentice with nightmares and visions, and then, after letting Ven'ren deal with the horrors himself, sat down to discuss what had been seen and how it is connected to sith philosophy. Ven was actually rather responsive to this method, that, at least in part, used kindness to make him listen. Sitting down and discussing the force was similar to the teaching methods of the Jedi, nightmares and horrors not withstanding.

This is also the time he came to Dromund Kaas and met more other apprentices on a more normal level then how he interacted with initiates on Korriban, and even managed to make friends with other sith. This allowed him to see some good things about the Empire and stopped hating everything around him as an effect of that. This made him less likely to turn on the Empire at first given opportunity, Before that, his hatred still made him want to destroy all sith. The decline of this hatred halted his fall to the Dark Side and his decent into insanity, though not undoing any of the (notable) damage that had already been done.

His master did, as expected, not live for that long before someone took advantage of his physical frailty and kill him. This, along with the death of one of the first friends he made, made him accept Jewels offer to make him her apprentice. With her, he would have a chance at revenge, and also the opportunity to learn more about how to survive in the world of the sith.

Personality and/or Motivation: It is unclear how much of his mind Ven'ren has actually lost. It mostly shows mostly in his odd speaking patterns and off-behaviours. Those used to half crazy sith would probably not even be that uncomfortable with him though. He tends to be oddly friendly, level of sincerity uncertain. He sometimes has a bizarrely strong sense of personal space only to suddenly have none at all.
What motivates him in a larger sense is unclear, if it is anything at this point. Revenge for his friend is one of his goals short-term goals, survival is another, and for both of these he is helped by his master, Jewel. Already skilled in combat, he does knows that it its the understanding of the more subtle parts of being a Sith that he lacks.
There are still some remenats of Jedi in him, such as a reflex to be protective of people, but this is almost entirely subconscious. There is a part of him somewhere that wants no one to die at all, imperial or republic.

Player’s long term goals: Ven'ren is possibly redeemable. Someone who cares about such things could see the light remaining in him and save him. A full recovery would naturally take a long time, but if he was to be removed from the Sith and brought back under the influence of the Jedi, it is possible. He would not however, think that returning would be a good idea and would be more likely to escape, not able to either completely cast of the darkness or let go of the light. He could remain the way he is, either still serving the Empire in his current state or for some reason or another fleeing into the vastness space, not really important enough to track an having no idea were to belong. There is of course also the not enierly unlikely outcome of him being damaged furter and beyond all repair, but that is the option I am personally least interested in playing out.

Relations: Jewel- master. On good terms. They find eachother quite useful.

So I have something now. I am sure that I've missed or misunderstood parts of the template, but at this point it is probably better that I have something here^^

Ven'ren

Name: Ven'ren Dijktra
Species: Human
Age: 22
Gender: Male
Faction: Sith Empire
Rank: Apprentice

Appearance: Ven'ren likes wearing his plain acolytes mask all the time, though he does not really need to hide anything, since looks quite alright aside from appearing like he suffers from chronic lack of sleep. When masked, those used to him can read expressions by the angle he tilts his head. He is thin, and when seen, pale and dark-haired.

Flaws: Ven'ren has lost nearly all connection he ever had to the light side, and most of the things he was taught by the Jedi are useless to him now. Added to that, his education in the ways of the Dark Side is incomplete and chaotic. His connection to the force itself is strong, but most of the information he recieves he cannot make sense of at all. In addition the the mistrust Sith feel for eachother in general, the posibility of some Jedi remaining in Ven'ren's scrambled mind makes him even harder to trust and a target to those who do not find him useful. He is rather useful to those that control him, however, both smart, skilled and cooperative when he is allowed to act according to his own goals and motivations.

Skills: He is skilled with lightsabers. He is mainly a Makashii user, but also remembers some of the Soresu he was trained in as a Jedi. He is also far sharper that his behaviour usually suggests. He usually knows when he is being manipulated, but appears not to be especially bothered by it. He is an easy man to underestimate and one might forget he has survived amongst the sith for this long for a reason. He has a strong albeit somewhat chaotic connection to the force, making him hard to surprise and causing him to pick up on things not otherwise made clear, such as peoples emotions.

Force capabilities: Force Empathy. His Force Sense, Sight and Precognition are also strong. He is better at controlling his own body (with speed for example) than he is at controlling other things around him.

Biography: Ven'ren was made a knight at 17, and was captured by the Sith later the same year. Using the classic trick of threatening his friends, the sith got him to cooperate with them and he was later brought to Korriban for re-education. His cooperation with sith along with his fierce hatred for them started turning him to the dark side. It grew worse on Korriban, due both to the training and the fact that he was constantly surrounded by Dark Side influence, and that there was little around him that he did not hate. Unsurprisingly, his mind took a blow from this and he started to lose his sanity. He survived due to his intelligence and adaptability along with good combat skills he had previously learned from the Jedi.

Most of his time on Korriban was spent in the caves of one of the old temples where initiates were commonly tested. He attacked or helped these initiates on a ground of how much he liked them, and was in that regard interfering with the 'strongest survives' part of the testing. He was, in due time, picked up from there by Darth Sathren, who thought that Ven's survival alone in that cave for so long was a testament to his strength and adaptability. Ven was, when found, animalistic, paranoid and barely speaking, but perfectly coherent when he did so and appeared to understand his situation perfectly. He was easily convinced of leaving. He did, at that point, have the ability to see Sith as individuals, even though he kept his hatred for them at large.

Darth Sathren was at that point already old and it was known that physical strength was fading and that he would soon be replaced by a younger Sith. The Darth had many important things to do, and more than one young sith to train, but did take time for Ven'ren once in a while. This is were Ven was introduced to most of the ways of the Sith. The Darth's training mostly consisted of tormenting his apprentice with nightmares and visions, and then, after letting Ven'ren deal with the horrors himself, sat down to discuss what had been seen and how it is connected to sith philosophy. Ven was actually rather responsive to this method, that, at least in part, used kindness to make him listen. Sitting down and discussing the force was similar to the teaching methods of the Jedi, nightmares and horrors not withstanding.

This is also the time he came to Dromund Kaas and met more other apprentices on a more normal level then how he interacted with initiates on Korriban, and even managed to make friends with other sith. This allowed him to see some good things about the Empire and stopped hating everything around him as an effect of that. This made him less likely to turn on the Empire at first given opportunity, Before that, his hatred still made him want to destroy all sith. The decline of this hatred halted his fall to the Dark Side and his decent into insanity, though not undoing any of the (notable) damage that had already been done.

His master did, as expected, not live for that long before someone took advantage of his physical frailty and kill him. This, along with the death of one of the first friends he made, made him accept Jewels offer to make him her apprentice. With her, he would have a chance at revenge, and also the opportunity to learn more about how to survive in the world of the sith.

Personality and/or Motivation: It is unclear how much of his mind Ven'ren has actually lost. It mostly shows mostly in his odd speaking patterns and off-behaviours. Those used to half crazy sith would probably not even be that uncomfortable with him though. He tends to be oddly friendly, level of sincerity uncertain. He sometimes has a bizarrely strong sense of personal space only to suddenly have none at all.
What motivates him in a larger sense is unclear, if it is anything at this point. Revenge for his friend is one of his goals short-term goals, survival is another, and for both of these he is helped by his master, Jewel. Already skilled in combat, he does knows that it its the understanding of the more subtle parts of being a Sith that he lacks.

@Tzarima

If i may offer a little bit of critique (Though ofc I'm not a GM). I can't talk for a lot of the Sithy stuff as I do know quite a bit about the Sith but @Ellri and @Sundered Echo understand them better in this era.

As a casual bystander reading it, parts of it seem quite broken up. It's very jumpy, though that could just be the way I'm reading it right now.

Hey, the Sith side of the Dark Side is fun!

Aren't the Sith applications cut off now?

@Dervish

Tzarima has been going about her application for a while in the IRC.
