You'll have to find out more about them in game. --- Name: Darth Nyiss Appearance: [img=http://imageshack.com/a/img826/2332/an5e.jpg] Role: Darth Nyiss spearheaded the initiative to capture a number of Jedi for conversion. She is the master of the Hask and all aboard it and its escorts. Personality: Darth Nyiss is known to be a rather quirky Darth, but unlike many of her colleagues her quirks rarely involve death or even physical pain. She does not often act much like a Darth, and is known to dally below her station, but never seriously or for long. When it comes to her more esoteric 'hobbies' she is unflinching in her resolve and uncaring in the lengths she will go to. Story: Darth Nyiss is slightly less well known among the militant Sith as much of her work goes on behind Imperial lines. As a Sith Pureblood, she is a staunch believer in Sith purity and the right of the Sith to rule the galaxy. She is known to have left remarkably few bodies behind her, in the Sith order at least. Almost all of her rivals and foes are still alive to this day, though all of them have some small mark somewhere upon them to remember her by, and not one of them ever challenged her a second time. Since becoming a Darth, she has become a skilled sorcerer and alchemist, wielding ancient Sith secrets discovered in the many tombs dotting Korriban. Recently, she has made it known that she is seeking one new Apprentice or Lord of great skill to work alongside her, and despite dark rumors of horrific experiments a number of these lesser Sith have flocked to her side and are attempting to prove themselves the most worthy in her eyes. --- Name: Jewel Namore Appearance: [img=http://student.umb.no/~henrgj/Aftermath/Female%20Apprentice] Role: Sith Lord Personality: Jewel Namore is known to be a confidant warrior and a powerful Darksider. Born an Imperial human with a very low percentage of Sith blood she still possessed a connection to the Force powerful enough for her to be recruited. She has had to fight against the prejudice of every Sith that doubted her because of her small percentage of 'purity.' This has made her incredibly driven and independent, trusting none but herself and using every edge she can to get ahead of her peers. Story: Born into the Sith Empire just before the beginning of the war Jewel has a very small percentage of Sith blood in her heritage. Taken to the academy on Korriban when she was very young, she always fought hard to make the uncaring instructors accept her. She was rarely the strongest, rarely the smartest, but she still always came out on top. Always the most driven, she had a knack for finding things that gave her an edge. As an Apprentice she fought in the war, and though her records are available to anyone of sufficient rank, they are much the same as every other Sith. Eventually, she managed to manipulate her way into the title of Lord. Two years ago she planted a number of Jedi holocrons in the personal effects of her then master, and when they were found she made sure she was in the perfect position to take his rank and power structure for herself. Since that day she has only become a more skilled manipulator, and while she is nowhere near Darth Nyiss is such matters, she has nonetheless gained the attention of the Darth. With Nyiss' attention has come power and influence, but she is also now a target, and anyone who can bring her down will almost certainly prove themselves better and more worthy of a Darths favor. She is currently aboard the Hask to participate in Darth Nyiss' project to convert Jedi, though her station as an established Sith Lord means there are likely to be far more important things she could be doing... --- Name: Thallia Valcia Appearance: [img=http://digital-art-gallery.com/oid/31/r169_457x256_6866_Female_Sith_2d_character_star_wars_painting_girl_woman_sci_fi_picture_image_digital_art.jpg] Role: Sith Apprentice Personality: Thallia is a woman that everyone cant help but love. She simply has that edge to her, a trait one does not see often in a Sith. She is still an Apprentice though, despite many years of apparent success, and many put this down to her lack of vision and her apparent eagerness to aid others. Story:Thallia has a reasonably high percentage of Sith blood, and is respected among the Sith for it. Throughout her life, she has managed to be the one who never seems to do anything herself, but always has things done when she needs them done. In the Korriban academy it is no secret that she amassed a fair number of followers, ranging from those she blackmailed into following her to those who fell over her for her roguish looks. She is known to be among Nyiss' many apprentices, but rarely receives any direct training from the Darth and seems to be there simply because, like so many others, Nyiss likes her. She isn't really important in the grand Sith schemes, and she is only onboard the Hask because Nyiss is. She still has a small army of followers at her beck and call, but they are weak and stupid to a man. --- Name: Allanar Damarcus Appearance: [img=http://images.wikia.com/swtor/images/5/54/Jedi-Knight.png] Role: Jedi Knight Personality: Calm. Kind. Always at peace. Very hard to rile up. Willing to listen to anyone. Never hasty in his judgements. A natural leader, though he doesn’t want to be one. He leads by example, not by commands. Story: Born on Coruscant in the early years of the war, Allanar Damarcus’ Force sensitivity was discovered at a young age, due to his parents having been hired for jobs by the Jedi. He is a true child of the Temple, upholding every ideal the masters consider good for jedi. As a natural result of these traits mixing together, he has no idea they view him so, and even if he did know, he would have been too humble to acknowledge it. He is always interested in learning more, in becoming a better Jedi. He always had a knack for staying calm under pressure and making the right decisions, though he is sometimes slow to decide. This is not out of any doubt or stupidity, rather he always considers every aspect of a situation before making a final judgement. Some in the temple believed this trait would make him an excellent Consular, but when the time came he embarked upon the path of the Jedi Guardian, seeking to bring his sound mind to the front and help the most needy of people affected by the war. Though he has fought many Sith, it was never because he wished them dead, it was always to defend those who could not defend themselves - be they civilians or soldiers beset by the superior powers of a Sith. Though not a great War Hero, he is something of a veteran of war, his short years on the front having hardened him to any hardships he may personally endure. With his own resilience has come even greater appreciation for the plight of the helpless. He was called back to the temple not long before the Sacking of Coruscant, as the masters did not want the war to break such a promising Jedi. When the the Sith struck against the temple, he was conferring with an Ithorian master. Though they managed to hide themselves from the initial strike teams, they were later discovered by Darth Nyiss herself. The Ithorian was killed, and after a brief duel, Allanar was captured by the Darth, who proved to be a much better duelist. --- Name: Viera Starr Appearance:[img=http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20101101213505/starwars/images/f/f6/ZuPike-TSS.jpg] Role: Jedi Knight (young) Personality: Jaded. Untrusting. Reluctant, yet curious. Whenever she feels insecure, she talks. A lot. Story: Viera Starr's story is sad. She was born on a refugee ship, her father unknown, her mother too poor to really care for her. As such, her early years have scarred her deeply. Having been shuttled around from planet to planet during the war, she lost faith in the republic that was supposed to protect her. It did not help that when she was six years old, her mother became a full-time spice addict. Only bit of luck she ever had was that the last refugee ship she was on was attacked, and hijacked, by pirates. How could this be luck, you might ask? The luck was in that there was someone important to the republic aboard. That meant that the ship got taken back by the republic with Jedi aid. As chance has it, her mother died during one of these attacks. Viera still is uncertain which. This was both sad and freeing. It also somehow led to her being discovered by the Jedi rescuers. One of them, a Jedi Knight named Ziris Sorenn, sensed her potential and her plight. He took her in and brought her to the Coruscanti temple for training. Over the next decade, she was trained in the Jedi arts, even as the masters worked to mend the wounds to her psyche. Because of her sore past, she was given extra attention to ensure she would not fall to the dark side. Viera threw virtually all of her past into the trash bin, dedicating herself fully to the Jedi order. The only part she could not discard was her lost faith in the republic. Nothing could convince her to change that opinion. Thus, while she fights for the Jedi, she does not fight for the republic. Like so many others, she was present in the Jedi temple at the time of the Sacking. Recently knighted, Viera had chosen to delve into the Archives, knowing well that would mostly let her avoid interacting with anyone from the republic. As deep down in the temple as she was, not even the sound of the ship crashing into the temple reached her. All that did was a slight tremor. The Force told her something was wrong though. She felt the deaths of both Jedi and civilians higher up. Accessing live security records, she saw the Sith strike teams. Using the library mainframe, she tried to send a warning out from Coruscant, but it, like all other communications, was blocked by the Sith. It did not take them long to find her. Or to subdue her. She had seen long ago that there was no chance to escape. When hiding failed, she surrendered. When she wouldn’t shut up even after they tied her up, they knocked her unconscious. She will often talk to attempt to cover up her uncertainty.
