Affiliation: Grand Republic of Mandalore
Occupation: Mandalore!
Brief History:
Initially, when the Jedi of the Ninth System's Army came to Mandalore, they found a party of apathetic New Mandalorians under a Mand'alor that cared nothing for the conflict raging about her planet. Under Satine Kryze, the Mandalorians had become embroiled in civil-war amongst each other, with both factions struggling for control over both the planet and their people. Even as the Ninth moved to secure their own future, a challenger to the title of Mand'alor arose from the myriad clans of Mandalore. A relative unknown, the man wore simple robes and a facemask to meet with Satine directly on the eve of the first year of the Gentis Coup. At first startled by the newcomer, Satine did not fully-comprehend that she had been openly challenged to the title of Mand'alor by the man, a challenge which could not be denied or the title was lost according to ancient Mandalorian tradition. Understanding her situation at last, she stood in the face of her challenger and denied him a battle, daring him to take her life for she would not take his. With little other choice, the man severed her head and proclaimed to the gathered crowd that he alone was Mand'alor and that any who dared challenge him do so now.
Eager to take his own chance, Satine's foremost rival Pre Vizsla stood up to challenge the man claiming himself Mand'alor. In a duel which lasted for hours, the two combatants fought across the square observed by a crowd of now hundreds of Mandalorians. Each fighter moved cautiously, keeping their energy reserved for quick bursts of activity, and neither making any overt killing moves for fear of allowing their opponent an opening. With a bold move, the claimant left himself open to Vizsla allowing him to strike at his side, while enabling him to bring about his own blade in a vicious counterattack that severed Vizsla's head. Holding the severed heads of both Vizsla and Satine aloft to the crowd the man proclaimed himself as Mandalore the Paladin, rightful ruler of the Mandalorians, and the one who would truly bring the people to their old glory. He swore it upon himself to rebuild all that their people had lost, and that the Jedi along with the Ninth Systems Army would be the first step on a long and arduous path to retake their glory. From that moment the Grand Republic of Mandalore was born, and the Mandalorians took their first steps towards their former glory, with the Paladin at their head.

Appearance: The true face of the being known as The Cold Void has not been seen since the tragedy that caused their horrific injuries during the Clone Wars.

Affiliation: Grand Republic of Mandalore, Jedi Enclaves
Occupation: Jedi Master
Brief History:
The Fallen Jedi known as The Cold Void first surfaced after a particularly savage campaign within the Outer Rim territories, a campaign that has been lost in the records after the chaos of the Empire's fall. They had been tasked with investigating a possible Separatist base on a frozen-world called Korriz within the Stygian Caldera, an investigation which ended in catastrophic failure at the hands of previously unknown assailants native to the world. The landing of the ill-fated legion was at first met with only silence, the world seeming to be completely dead, but soon the Jedi-Knight had discovered the existence of a Sith Tomb under the surface. With the breaching of the Tomb, hundreds of ancient Krath War Droids reactivated and began a systematic slaughter of the Clone Troopers. The Jedi-Knight was at the center of the battle, desperately attempting to redirect the battle in favor of the Republic, but unable to counter the firepower and durable construction of the ancient droids.
As the battle continued, the Jedi-Knight was forced to retreat with the ARC commandos, falling back to the Sith Tomb in an attempt to gain better ground. Within the labyrinthine complex The Jedi eventually became separated from the ARC Commandos, the halls echoing with the screams of their deaths, and the raw power of the dark side slowly corrupting the Jedi. Driven mad by the rampant energies of the force, the Jedi fell into an abyss that had been opened during the battle. Falling to a grim death at the bottom of the ruin, the Jedi reached out with the Force to try to arrest the fall, unwittingly letting the Dark Side fully into their being. The Force would not let them off easy, and the massive losses of the day had opened a wound within their being, the rush of the dark energies of the ancient tomb wreaking havoc on the Jedi's mind and body as they broke upon the stone floor of the deepest reaches of the tomb.
When the Jedi awoke, they no longer wore the guise of the Jedi-Knight from before, but that of a Fallen Jedi, the dark-side energies altering them into a raw wound in the force. A seething hunger filled the Fallen Jedi, a desire to feed upon the life energy overwhelming all prior sensibilities. Scavenging the ancient battle armor of the long-dead Sith-Lord, the Fallen Jedi stumbled out into the frozen wastes of Korriz to find life to feed upon. For several years the Fallen Jedi sustained itself on the native creatures of the world, until it could finally draw upon enough strength to recollect its fragmented mind and escape the world on one of the forgotten transport vessels.
Garbed in the robes of a Jedi, the fallen Jedi rejoined it's brethren within the Mandalorian nation as a Dark Jedi seeking asylum, calling itself The Cold Void. The Mandalorians accepted The Cold Void as an ally, whereas the Jedi Council were slow to trust, though over time the relations between the Jedi Order and those allied with The Cold Void have improved.
Other:
The Cold Void uses a rare form of Force powers, revolving around the manipulation of ambient temperatures to induce severe cold and project bolts of ice. This unique form of Force powers also has imbued The Cold Void with the ability to survive the hard vacuum of space without an enclosed suit. The use of other Force powers has been severely restricted because of The Cold Void's mastery in this field, with many abilities closed off to it. It is believed that The Cold Void is proficient in the use of the forgotten Dun Möch style of lightsaber combat, utilizing the unique Force powers along with great patience to slowly erode the opponent's will to fight, before striking them down.
- Remembrance - Remembrance is a unique curved-hilt lightsaber that was constructed long ago by The Cold Void. The blade of Remembrance is of a dark violet in hue, the actual blade burning with a cold-heat.

Brief History:
Born on Alpheridies, the Miralukan sisters Solace and Requiem were raised to utilize their natural force-abilities at a young age. Graduating from the Luka Sene at the age of 15, the sisters were devout members of the organization, dedicating themselves to the needs of all on Alpheridies, and never putting themselves before another. When they were inducted into the Sene Seekers three years later, they began to develop a yearning for wandering like many young Miraluka do. It was such that the Luka Sene chose to send the sisters on missions to redeem those who had fallen away from home, and is where they began their fall from the light-side.
A Miralukan male by the name of Zentraedies had uncovered a dark-side artifact on an outer-rim world near the Stygian Caldera, and the sisters had been sent to attempt to redeem Zentraedies. When they tracked him down, they had found that he had discovered a Sith holocron, and had already accessed the knowledge within, learning of dangerous secrets that should not have been uncovered. A tense stand-off resulted between the two sisters and the fallen Miraluka, neither side willing to attack the other. Zentraedies finally relented after several tense moments, admitting that he had made contact with a supposed Sith Lord in order to barter away the Holocron.
Appalled at the carelessness of Zentraedies, Solace insisted that he come with them back to Alpheridies, but he refused, stating that the Sith Lord would hunt him down for the betrayal. Conflicted, the sisters agreed that Zentraedies would return to Alpheridies alone, and that they would take the Holocron to the Sith Lord on their own. Zentraedies vowed to stay true to the sisters, and immediately boarded a shuttle back home. While he was in route, Solace and Requiem traveled to the territories of the Grand Republic of Mandalore to return the holocron to the Sith as part of the deal.
Arriving on Mandalore to a rather odd welcoming by the Jedi Enclaves, the twins entered the Enclaves to seek out the supposed Sith and deliver the holocron. Passing by countless murals of the Jedi Order, the two began to grow increasingly uneasy about the whole prospect, feeling that something was well and truly off about this mission. Finally arriving in the Grand Archives of the Enclave, the two found the one they were seeking. Sat within the center of the room was a raw and seething wound in the force, a being who fed off the very energies around it, and the one believed to be a Sith Lord right in the heart of the Jedi Enclaves. It was there that they explained that they were to fulfill Zentraedies' end of the bargain, and to give the Sith Lord the Holocron without payment. Accepting the holocron, the mysterious Sith bid them to peruse the Archives while they wait for their vessel to be refueled.
At first, they thought to refuse, but Solace felt it better to indulge the eccentric Sith Lord, and they entered the vast repository with the intention of simply looking around without activating anything. The more they wandered the endless hallways, the more curious they became, and the more curious they became, the more they chose to look into. When refitment had been completed the sisters had already become embroiled within the archives of the order, and were eager to learn more. So it was that the sisters Requiem and Solace pledged themselves to The Cold Void and the Jedi Enclaves.
Little do the sisters know, that Zentraedies did return to Alpheridies, and has since become the Grand-Master of the Luka Sene, his redemption absolute in the face of those dark secrets revealed years ago. He has been known to offer extravagant rewards to those who may have information regarding the whereabouts of the sisters, especially Solace, whom he had been in love with.
Other:
- Equipment -
Solace:
Lightsaber Pike - A rare type of weapon utilizing a long staff-like hilt with cortosis weave built into it.
Jedi-Battle Armor - A composite suit of battle-armor made to be light and flexible in combat, yet provide durability and strength against lightsabers and blaster weapons. The plates are made of a crimson ceramic material with a cortosis weave throughout, secured to an armourweave bodysuit. Modifications to the suit include a wrist-mounted guard-shoto lightsaber on the right gauntlet, and an array of force-attuned crystals mounted into the left gauntlet.
Requiem:
Equilibrium - Unique curved cross-guard lightsaber, has been modified to use either emitter as the main blade. Has been force-attuned to Requiem.
Jedi-Battle Armor - Similar to that of Solace's battle-armor, Requiem's battle-armor has been modified as well. Eschewing the wrist-mounted weapons, Requiem has instead installed electronic interfacing systems, as well as miniature hydraulics to make it a powered-battle armor. The armor suit links up to the modified neural band that she wears to cover her eyes, and allows the suit to respond to her force-sight as well as her own movements.
Modified DC-15S Blaster Carbine - Modified with an enhanced scope array as well as an expanded magazine. The Scope array has been made with lenses of attuned crystals, allowing Requiem to 'see' down the scope to the same extent as a user without force-sight could.
- Skills -
Both of the Miralukan sisters are adept in the Juyo/Vaapad lightsaber forms, as well as having training in the Sokan techniques and the Dun Moch form. Solace has followed in the footsteps of their master, and has become adept in the use of the Force powers for which their master is named. She also retains many of the abilities learned during her tutorship among the Luka Sene, able to utilize healing powers to a large degree. Requiem, on the other hand, is less learned in the Cold Force, instead focusing on her use of the Force-Sight, and developing it further into a form of precognition, which she uses to locate artifacts for the Archives. Another of Requiem's skills is the usage of advanced healing abilities and shielding techniques.
- Personalities -
Solace is rather reserved, preferring to keep her emotions to herself, her sister, and their master. She comes off as just as cold and unforgiving as The Cold Void, attributed to the extended exposure to the Sith Lord's influence. She is known to be more ruthless and violent than her master though, in that she is known to personally execute those who fail her master, and is not above torture. It is because of her ruthlessness and adherence to the tenets which have brought her to the status of First Prime
A step away from both her sister, and their master, Requiem is a more of a free-spirit, reveling in the feeling of being alive and openly expressing her feelings. It is well known that she would prefer to "Hug it out" than actually fight others, though she understands the necessity of combat. Unlike her sister, she has openly admitted to an infatuation with the eccentric Dark-Jedi she serves, a subject which the Dark-Jedi tends to avoid discussing whenever possible.
