Force powers updated to conform to new guide nomenclature. Since it went from having 5 steps to 6 steps of experience/talent levels noted, making a simple one to one translation impossible, I've nudged some things up and down a bit to make sense. The main thing of note is that I've listed Precognition as a Grandmaster level talent while Force Rage remains a Mastered Talent, because basically all of Embrus' training and solo practice/study from day one has honed his talent for Precognition in one way or another whereas the Force Rage is newer to him. I've also tweaked the bio and list of accomplishments a bit to note his great talent for Precognition, which I should have done before but I overlooked that in my focus on getting the Force Rage stuff right. All changes are noted in the hider below for ease of reference.

Added "Mastered the use of Precognition" right after he became a Sith Lord. Added "Became recognized as a Grandmaster of Precognition by clearly surpassing a handful of talented masters of the technique" as the next accomplishment after mastering Force Rage, shortly before becoming a Darth. [u]Biography[/u]: Added this sentence to the paragraph regarding Embrus becoming a Sith Lord: "Not long after I became a Sith Lord, Darth Korrus acknowledged me as a master in the use of Precognition, but that was apparently not enough to satisfy him, so the training continued." Major revamp of what was one large paragraph regarding his activities after the Treaty of Coruscant but before Darth Korrus died, both versions in hiders below to make it simpler. [hider=Old Version]Afterward, with the Treaty of Coruscant signed there were fewer battlefields for me to be sent to. Pacifying the planets ceded to the Empire required less power than fighting the Republic head on, and Darth Korrus left me to my own devices for the most part. I spent a lot of that time relentlessly training for the day we resume the destruction of the Republic and the Jedi, but I also devoted time to preparing for my master's death. While I achieved mastery over my favored Force techniques and lightsaber forms, I also worked to take over Darth Korrus' network of influence. Though he was still capable of fighting, it was clear to me that he would die in the near future. He worked against my efforts of course, but at the same time he seemed pleased by the challenge. He gave me access to his full collection of holocrons after he saw that I was directly working to succeed him, far more than I'd ever seen in one place before, and I think that was his way of telling me I was in fact worthy as an heir. Before long, many of his favored officers of the Imperial Army began coming to me to ask favors rather than asking Darth Korrus. This was largely because they knew of my vast reach in the war manufacturing industry, gained by selling knowledge of my own innovations to laser technology to certain interested parties for ownership stakes in their companies rather than credits, and wished to leverage that for their own benefit. I'd gained many Apprentices by this time as well, and I started to send all of those lacking a true gift for combat out to expand my influence further. Some joined my first Apprentice in archaeological projects, others were stationed in the military, some took posts in the Imperial Diplomatic Service and the Ministry of War, one became an Inquisitor, and others were sent to look after my business interests across the galaxy. It wasn't all successful, of course: I lost a couple Apprentices who were sent to infiltrate a Republic shipyard and the other stakeholders of Czerka Corporation continue to be a thorn in my side, but after recognizing me as a worthy successor it seems my master stopped viewing it as his duty to punish my failings.[/hider] [hider=New Version]Afterward, with the Treaty of Coruscant signed there were fewer battlefields for me to be sent to.

I spent a lot of that time relentlessly training for the day we resume the destruction of the Republic and the Jedi, but I also devoted time to preparing for my master's death. I sought challenges beyond the group of Sith my master favored, and it proved to be vital to the development of my skills. I became much more familiar with my preferred lightsaber forms by testing them against new opponents, and I mastered the use of Force Rage. My most noteworthy accomplishment of that period, however, was becoming recognized as a Grandmaster in the use of Precognition. I challenged every master of the technique I could find, mainly by insulting their supposed prowess and urging them to prove me wrong if they wished to keep calling themselves masters. The intense ordeals they concocted to test our skills head to head were exceedingly dangerous, but I walked out of every one of them unscathed while many of them were left bloody and bruised. In their arrogance they'd expected me to be the one left slashed and battered by their devious trials, so of course they hadn't bothered to hold back on the danger for their own benefit. After embarrassing six masters of the technique, they begrudgingly recognized me as their superior and acknowledged me as a Grandmaster. The status almost isn't worth the tedious bother of all the unskilled fools who come begging me to teach them, but it does have its perks.
