He grows attached rather easily to the people around him, and this is a glaring quality in his personality that makes him not the best sith. Because he is always anxious about things, being betrayed by someone makes it less likely he'll trust that particular person ever again, and despite his welcoming nature, he is far from naive. He is unusually aware of other people, and the things they say and do. He has the tendency to remember some of the most inane things told to him in conversation about other people. If you tell him a silly story about that one time you lost your sock, and just couldn't find it, odds are he'll remember every word of it down to a T. Issiro also watches people, and his surroundings, very closely. Not for any trained or militaristic reason, but just because he feels it's important to remember every little detail about the people around him, and the places he goes to. Issiro knows that there are people out there, particularly in his sith class, who think he isn't cut out to be a sith. These thoughts are all the more reason for him to be extra aware of the people he talks to, because if there's one thing he doesn't want, it's to be killed for being a complete waste of potential.[/b] [b] Known flaws: He's too willing to trust others, be nice to him once, and he's already got you marked down at that moment as an okay person. This is bad, because assuming someone is nice or at least that you can tolerate them leads to them thinking other things about you. If you assume every person who doesn't immediately insult you is good, it can only lead to you meeting even worse apples than those who do insult you to your face. He's also too cautious, and isn't willing to ever do anything that's got risks to it. Because of this, Issiro will spend an unhealthy amount of time trying to change his situation to not have [i]any[/i] risks to the point where he loses sight of the original goal. He takes criticism well, though some might say [i]too[/i] well, seeing how he doesn't seem to have any fight in him. Issiro doesn't stand up for himself verbally, or with his fists and skills. The way he see's it, somebody talking bad about the way he looks or the way he walks isn't as bad as someone saying he's a bad sith or that he's a waste of potential, and thus he won't do anything about taunts or teasing regarding his appearance because he doesn't think they're worth talking back too. Issiro has enough confidence in himself to not let petty things like the way he looks get to him, he is always more concerned with the things he says and his actions than how he looks to others. In fact, you could even say, the way he acts and the way he looks to others are the same in his book. He is too focused on wanting people to like him as a sith, and not as Issiro Mallom, which is the real issue. He believes that as long as he does his duty, and performs all of his force training correctly, he has every right to be a sith and serve the empire, other opinions be damned.[/b] [/hider] [hider=Imperial Intelligence Reports] [h3][sub]Detailed appearance. Imagery insufficient.[/sub][/h3] Issiro Mallom is a young boy of 17 with long, braided dark hair that falls in a single frayed line down his back. He wears dark clothing, and is impartial to the tradional sith red. He has green eyes, slightly tanned skin, and freckles. He has a small, red wood carving amulet that Torzas made for him when he was little.

He has slight telepathic abilities that seem to only be attuned to animals, and unfortunately only the drollest of all beasts, common Nerfs. With a little training he could properly nudge those abilities of his to humans, but until then he remains to be almost completely normal. He hasn't yet mastered any of the highly advanced skills, but he does have three down pat. His telepathy with other people is weak, but pushing people is easy for him, though it took him a long time. He's also gotten extremely good at listening to others with the force, no one can keep secrets around him in class that's for sure. [h3][sub]Report on skills not directly rooted in the Force, including level of skill[/sub][/h3] His Beast Trick still needs time to grow, but he's managed to tell some of the neighoring nerfs where to walk, and what to do. If he talks to some of them fast enough, he could incite a stampede, that is if he can keep up the link between him and those beasts long enough. Concentration seems to be the key to him being able to communicate with the Nerfs, and it's also something Issiro is very poor at. He isn't good with thinking about one thing for a long period of time, it's not in his nature. [h3][sub]Report on known combat experience, training and lightsaber training.[/sub][/h3] He has developed a very good, though oddly defensive style with his lightsabres. Though he is trained in the standard Djem So, he has paired it with Soresu. His lightsabres have hooked hilts, and he uses them to either get around, or whack people in the head. He's always on the defensive, thinking his opponent will attack first, almost giving his opponent that very chance everytime. He knows it's unlikely he can run from it. He wants to get away, but he knows that there are only two options for him. Run away and block as many hits as he can, or attack vigourously to the point where he can then safely escape. He doesn't use just one lightsabre, but two short shoto lightsabres, each with a hooked hilt. He is very good at using them, and though these sabres often require another form of defense, Issiro has accounted for that with the two hooked hilts. [h3][sub]Detailed notes on political influence and associates. [/sub][/h3] He isn't directly connected to anyone with any political sway, and his only real connections are his cousin Torzas who isn't at the academy with him, and his master Yaris Rhevir. Sure, he has his fellow students, but he hasn't found a particulary nice friend among any of them. They're all very cold to him, and his master is the type of person to publicly denounce alliances of the platonic or romantic type. [h3][sub]Detailed notes on known rivals and enemies, outside and within the Empire.[/sub][/h3] There is only one person whom Issiro could truly count as a rival, and that would have to be Yaris Rhevir himself. Yaris doesn't like Issiro, partly because he knows deep down that Issiro isn't cut out to be a sith, and also because he grew up as a nerf herder. Yaris looks down on people in different economic situations than him, and force sensitive or not, if you don't have the money then you aren't worth his time. Yaris has spent most of Issiro's training at the academy plotting against him, trying to find some excuse other than pure malicious intent to hurt him. Issiro and Yaris don't go back and forth in class, but instead Yaris makes Issiro do absurd, even dangerous things, and Issiro takes it without complaint. Issiro isn't the type to complain about tough training, mainly because he thinks doing so would make him seem weak in front of his fellow students, and he already knows some of them would just love to have the oppurtunity to look down on him further. Issiro won't allow this, and thus puts up with all of Yaris' treatment simply because giving in is just reason enough for Yaris to kill him once and for all. [h3][sub]List and description of other known associates, including underlings.[/sub][/h3] Issiro is very close with his cousin, Torzas who was left back on their planet Plooma because he was not force senstive. Torzas is compeletely ignorant of Issiro's sith training, and that's because Issiro has lied to him about where he was going to go for the past few months. Issiro lied because he knew that Torzas would object to joining the Empire in anyway, and also because of the horrible relationship he has with his uncle. Torzas hated Issiro's father, the man who practically raised both of them, because he left them to fend for themselves in the middle of nowhere with nothing but nerfs, all so he could chase the dream of becoming a sith lord. Issiro's father was a force sensitive, and by extension this passed down to Issiro himself. Torzas is not force sensitive, and hates the Empire with all of his being for stealing away the only adult they knew who could change their situation. Torzas made them both red wood carving amulets to wear around their necks when they were very little, and they both wear them in some fashion. Issiro has turned his into a red chain of beads holding his cloak up, another gift given to him by Torzas before he up and left for "Flight School", the lie he told Torzas about the Sith Academy.

[hider=Interview] [h3][sub]Personal biography, as detailed by the candidate for use in imperial archives. Acquired shortly after last achievement of note.[/sub][/h3] Issiro was born on a small, remote planet named Plooma, on which he learned to Herd Nerfs from a very young age. At the age of 5, he discovered that he could communicate with one of their nerfs, Egg a particularly dumb Nerf even by Issiro's standards. His force sensitivity came early, but it wasn't something big or noticeable. Issiro kept mostly to himself, and no one ever bothered his family out on their Nerf farm on Plooma. He was very close with his cousin Torzas, who wasn't force sensitive, but who did know that Issiro had a connection with the animals. Torzas, being a naive child at the time, believed that Issiro's ability was normal. As time went on, he soon learned that wasn't the case. When they both got older, at the age of 10 Issiro was taken in for testing. The one administering this force test was none other than his future master, Yaris Rhevis. Yaris didn't like Issiro or his family, simply for the fact that he thought they were so beneath the Empire that helping it in anyway would almost be an insult. Even though he found Issiro to be force sensitive, he refused to let him into the academy at all. Issiro's father jumped at the oppurtunity, and begged him to take him on as an apprentice. Issiro's father was a late blooming force sensitive, only discovering his abilities in his early 20s. Yaris agreed, begrudignly, and that was the last Issiro and Torzas ever saw of him. Years later, Issiro grew restless with his power, and though Torzas was aware of his force powers, he didn't understand why Issiro was so concerned over it. He went on many tirades against the Empire, often as loud as he wanted because their planet might as well have been a deserted wasteland for all of the people on it. Torzas thought it was dangerous to try and go with the Empire, because they never heard back from Issiro's father, and he wasn't listed as any Darth or Sith Lord working for the Empire currently. Issiro didn't let that get him down though. He wanted to find out more about this Beast Trick ability he had, even if it was only just for Nerfs. Some could say he was simply tired of the boring life he lived with his cousin as Nerf Herders, and that was why he decided to join the Empire at the age of 17. He explained to Torzas that he would be going to a flight school somewhere off planet in order to learn how to ferry cargo across the galaxy. "Maybe this way, we could earn just a bit more money than what the Nerfs rake in." he suggested. Torzas cautiously agreed, though he was nervous about letting his cousin go so far away from home. Issiro felt bad about lying to Torzas like he did, but he felt it was the right thing for him to do. Months passed, and Issiro learned a lot, though he found it increasingly difficult to hide his true nature from the insidious people around him. Yaris was his master, and he wasn't pleased to teach Issiro at all. He made Issiro's life at the academy a living hell, giving him impossible tasks and mocking him in class. It came time for force testing, and Issiro got assigned his own home planet, more so as a joke than as a gift from Yaris. There, he was also accompanied by an Overseer named Haler Kone, a rather uptight and serious student of Yaris. Haler was somewhat of a teacher's pet, and there were even rumours that he was getting secret lessons from Yaris. All was fine and dandy, until Haler began to berate Issiro rather loudly in front of his cousin, whom he had tried to explain his situation to. The mounting stress of coming clean to Torzas, and Haler's taunts and jeers were enough to send his anxiety shooting through the roof. His telepathy went out of control for a moment, and before he knew it, the Nerfs had run over Haler. It was the first time he had ever seriously hurt someone using his power, and it scared him. They both stared at his body for a good long while, until Torzas finally spoke. "I'll get the shovel from the house." He had said. They both buried him far from their home, and tried to think of what to do. Issiro knew he couldn't go back to the academy, something of this nature was just the excuse Yaris needed in order to kill him. If he found out that Haler died at the hands of someone as low in society as him, he wouldn't hesitate to cut him down with his lightsabre. It was then that Torzas suggested they try to run away somewhere else. Probably to a bustling city for trade. Torzas hadn't mentioned anything about his lies, or the dead sith boy, just that they had to find some place else to go. And thus that's where their adventure left off. [/hider] [/hider] [/hider]
