[@The Elvenqueen] [h2]Review of Sith apprentice Aria “Ari” Saal[/h2] [b]Personnel Files:[/b] Interesting choice of master. How far down the chain of command from the Darth is she? Given her age, she is presumably fairly low on the food chain. Is it critical for her father to have been a Darth, or could he have been one of Acheron’s Sith Lords? There’s not really anything in the bio that gives the feel of her father having had the power to be a Darth. Such people are rare powerhouses in the Empire. Generally, when a Darth dies unexpectedly, there is an upheaval as power shifts hands. [b]Appearance:[/b] At her age, she would most likely be mistaken for being an acolyte rather than a Neophyte. Mask could feasibly be equipped with external visual sensors and screens on the inside, which could allow for those glowing panels all the time. Pretty certain “most Sith” don’t use respirators except when it is absolutely necessary. [b]Force skills:[/b] As yoda said “size matters not”. Within reason of course, It doesn’t [i]really[/i] matter whether it is a lightsaber or half a starfighter you telekinetically lift. Though you could, of course, have a mental barrier in play as a flaw. Beyond the basics, known talents are often taught better than techniques without any talent, but of course circumstances can change such too. Force Lightning may often be of use in interrogation, if your character has practice at that. The level you described for Force Sight is sounds closer to being part of Force Sense than Sight. Don’t forget that choking isn’t just used for killing (though being able to do that is often considered a milestone), but also for basic interrogation and teaching lessons. How good is she at breaking through defenses? Is that something she’s studied? Nice to see you left skills that are of interest but unlearned. Note: Force Healing is more about helping the body accelerate its own healing than it is magical healing. See the Guide to the Force. [b]Non-Force skills:[/b] What can she fly from A to B? Fighters? Transports? Small Freighters? Selling snow to a Wampa would require her to be able to communicate with one, just sayin’. [b]Combat skills:[/b] Presuming that you mean that she can hold her own/outsmart/evade opponents of similar or lesser skill level, right? What is she likely to do if faced with an opponent that is clearly superior in skill? [b]Political Influence:[/b] The Empire doesn’t have a senate. Sith, Moffs and the like fill the kind of roles that senators hold in the Republic. [b]Rivals:[/b] What would she do if faced with an incapacitated Jedi? [b]Associates:[/b] Generally, the Sith don’t react too much to parents training their children. Some choose to do that, others choose to have the Academy take care of it. The only thing the Empire considers important is for them to be trained. Many Sith tend to prefer their heir to be a descendant. What happened to her father’s power base when he died? While most likely not close, she might at least have encountered Darth Theya once or twice, as one of Theya’s secondary spheres of influence is Biotic Science. [b]Ownerships:[/b] Most Sith holocrons tend to be fairly extensive in the knowledge they contain. They are rarely so narrow as to cover just a single Force technique. We would suggest that you have her have only one holocron, but that she has not yet wrested much from it beyond the knowledge that it can teach her about handling animals and the raw power of Force Lightning. It could have a very stubborn gatekeeper that prevents her from easily accessing things. [b]Psychological Evaluation:[/b] People stupid enough to call a Sith something like “shorty” deserve what’s coming to them. [b]Interests:[/b] What is the goal of her drinking? Is it the intoxication? Forgetting? Outdrinking those who are larger? Something else? [b]Achievements:[/b] Generally, no Sith wants to have on record any kills of other Sith at the academy (or anywhere else), on account of that being a crime. But of course, no witnesses to a death clearly means it was entirely accidental and all that. [b]Failures:[/b] Generally, an acolyte that doesn’t succeed “properly” on a test will be given further tests until he or she is deemed worthy, either by the overseers or by a Sith in need of an apprentice that matches the acolyte’s skills or aptitudes. [b]Interview:[/b] Generally, unimpressive physique only means much of anything to the less intelligent warrior-type Sith. The smarter ones tend to know better than to be deceived by appearance. Still, this doesn’t mean the overseers as a whole wouldn’t try to use her diminutive size against her. They would definitely do that, just as they would use the bigger acolytes’ size against them.
