[OOC] Coruscant Sacked: Aftermath

[Sep]

That is entirely up to you, @Sep. But seeing how you're doing nothing major now, you might as well do it now?

@Ellri

If by "Now" you mean tomorrow then sure, I'm currently writing some stuff and looking up some stuff for Phoenix.

[Ellri]

Fair enough. Wherever it fits your schedule.

[Sep]

Having to work through lunch today.

Biography:

Andri was born on Panatha in the Outer Rim Territories, but not long after her birth her parents moved further into the known galaxy, to Denon. It was due to this that she was picked up at a very early age by the Jedi Order, and whisked away to the Jedi Academy on Alaris Prime.

She doesn’t remember much of her parents, being just a toddler when she was taken away from them, and so grew into the Jedi way of life very quickly and easily. Her childhood was one of joy and laughter, enjoying her time playing with the other younglings and learning new things. She struggled to learn the lightsaber combat forms however, showing a much higher natural aptitude for the ways of the Force instead, and was soon guided towards the lifestyle of a Consular and diplomat.

She became a Padawan at the age of 10, apprenticing under Jedi Master Ral Shodon. Master Shodon was a stern taskmaster, focusing more on Andri’s prowess in the way of the Jedi than on allowing her to socialise with her agemates. Though her combat abilities never truly grew above average, she learnt Force powers fairly quickly. She was intensely trained in diplomatic endeavours, slowly working out her gullibleness and replacing it with a calm optimism and permanent polite smile.

Master Shodon took Andri on a four year training trip to the Republic Elite’s Resort World of Alassa Major, to mingle with the politicians and elite of the galaxy. Her time spent on Alassa Major was anything but relaxing, as she rubbed elbows with the richest and most affluent of society, learning the ins and outs of public relations and politics, whilst still keeping up her rather stringent training in combat, the history of the republic and the Jedi, and ways of the Force. They ended up staying an extra year to work Andri through her naivety and gullibility, teaching the girl to think things through more instead of instantly believing what people say.

Andri’s Master declared her ready for Knighthood at the age of 21, eleven years after she entered his apprenticeship. She was Knighted traditionally. The next fifteen years of her life were spent bouncing between diplomatic missions and being a spokesperson between the Jedi Council and the Republic, as Master Shodon had trained her to do. When she felt her Master's death, Andri was shocked and has spent what time she can spare between political missions searching for information on the death of her Master and his apprentice at the time.

She was in between missions at the time of the Sacking of Coruscant, readying herself for another trip around the Mid Rim worlds.

Personality and/or Motivation:

Optimistic and calm, she is always smiling and believes that everything will get better, you just have to believe and keep hope alive. She takes each day as it comes, not really thinking beyond the here and now despite her Master’s attempts to instill some sort of long-term thought process.

Player’s long term goals:

Keeping morale up for the captive Jedi, have fun!

Relations:

Jedi Master Ral Shodon - Master. She felt his death two months ago, and has been searching for clues on who killed him since.
Lea Rahn - current apprentice of Master Shodon. Andri has met her multiple times but never developed any friendship with the younger girl. She believes the young girl to be deceased due to being with Master Shodon at the time of his death.

Final Point - Secrets:

@SpiritedDream, here's a bit of review:
Everything up to species characteristics is good.

perhaps note the Epicanthix’ epicanthic folds as a species trait as well as the others?

Flaws aren’t numerous, but they affect her significantly, so they are fine.

Skills are ok, we think.

Force powers ok.

Bio:
There were other training centers for Jedi than the Coruscant temple. The majority were actually trained on the innumerable satellite academies.

The resort planet is named Alassa Major, not Alyssa major.

The rest of the Bio seems ok.h

It would not hurt to have a few more relations. Feel free to make them up based on who you think she might know. Its for example likely that she has at least met Lea, seeing how they shared a master. She would perhaps also have felt Ral Shodon’s death two months prior to the Sacking.

She may also know of Darth Nyiss beforehand, as Darth Nyiss is a somewhat significant political figure despite being a recluse.

History - do you know much SW history yourself/ are you willing to research it?

[SpiritedDream]

@Ellri

...No idea where I got Alyssa from then. So you suggest making her a trainee of a different Academy rather than the Coruscant Temple? Okay.

I realised she would probably know of her Master's death when I woke up this morning, but then wasn't sure exactly how long before the Sacking it happened. And also Lea.

I know the basics of SW history - mostly the official plotline of the KotOR games and the movies, but I'm always happy to read more.

Vivithe Lansha

Name: Vivithe Lansha
Species: Human-Sith hybrid. 90% Human, 10% Red Sith.
Age: 36
Gender: Female
Faction: Sith Empire
Rank: Sith Lord

Appearance:

Vivithe

A woman of average height (5’5), she shows no physical signs of her Sith heritage, outwardly she is entirely human. Vivithe wears a more form fitting version of the typical Sith garb, over it she wears a cloak of a dark maroon color. Her curved hilt lightsaber sits on her belt when not in use.

Notable Characteristics of Species:
N/A

Flaws:
- Direct combat is not her forte, her main lightsaber form, Makashi, is not a form to be used while fighting waves of opponents. She’s skilled enough to hold her in a one on one battle, but a straight fight is always her absolute last option.
- She’s not very strong physically, Vivithe is not a physically built woman, she’ll get pushed around and tossed all over in a fight.
- She’s spineless, if she knows she is outmatched or her life is on the line then she’ll make a hasty retreat. If she can escape with her head still on her shoulders then she’ll put that over everything else.
- A compulsive liar (which she is good at), overconfident and extremely paranoid. She’ll get others to trust her, but not the other way around.
- Plays people like pieces on a chessboard, everyone has a calculated everchanging value. Not at all afraid to knock over some of the pieces if they outlive their usage.

Skills:
- Vivithe is a very talented tactician and planner. Both on the actual battlefield and off of it.
- Knows the lightsaber forms Makashi and Shien.
- She is extremely charismatic, utterly ruthless, convincingly deceitful and occasionally seductive. Also a solid actor when the situation calls for it, sometimes playing the quivering victim to gain an advantage.
- Quite skilled in the ways of the Force.


Force capabilities:
Basic Sith powers
Force Cloak
Force lightning
Drain Knowledge
Comprehend Speech
Telekinetic Whirlwind
Force Slow


Biography:
Vivithe was born to a very wealthy family, at a very early age her Force sensitivity was discovered by a Sith who was on her homeworld. She was sent to the Dromund Kaas academy and her new life began. It was a huge change for her, going from a life of luxury to one where she was punished for every mistake and expected to absorb every bit of information that she was fed. A smart girl even from a tender age, Vivithe did exactly what she needed to, her brain her greatest asset against the bigger kids in the Academy. When an Academy was established on the retaken Sith homeworld of Korriban she was brought there along with many of the others. Though very nervous about moving to a different world, especially one steeped in as much mystique as Korriban, Vivithe was also excited for a new challenge.

She showcased a natural talent with the Force while on Korriban, which earned her some notoriety from some of her fellow students. After a messy encounter with three of them that left her with a black eye and bloody nose Vivithe decided to be much more secretive about her abilities. A frail girl even at a young age she couldn’t beat the others in a fist fight and tried to avoid physical conflict the best she could while at the Korriban Academy. After eight years on the Academy she was chosen as an apprentice for a Sith, who brought her into war. While she wasn’t suited on the frontline as she figured out after taking a blaster bolt to the knee, she showcased a natural ability off the frontlines and when commanding soldiers. When allowed to give her input before a battle she offered tactical advice, where certain shoulders should have gone, where to set traps, where to create chokepoints and more.

At the age of twenty two her master died on the battlefield, struck down by a single Jedi. An enraged Vivithe drew her weapon and fought the man. She managed to gain the upperhand on the Jedi before bringing him to his knees with a powerful bolt of Force Lightning, then with the man’s eyes staring up at her in hopes of mercy she drove her lightsaber through his chest, taking his life, a smile on her face as she did it. She was withdrawn from the frontlines after that battle, fear the emotion in her as she wondered why, the young Vivithe was terrified that she had failed by letting her master die and was going to be punished for it. She was wrong, instead she was reassigned to serve within the Sphere of Military Strategy within the Empire.

Vivithe was delighted at the prospect of leaving the frontlines behind, she was never a fighter, if she had kept getting thrown right into battle alongside the soldiers and battle hardened Sith then she most certainly would have died. Her new position amongst the Sphere gave her an opportunity to impress even further. It also being where she cultivated her more immoral personality, embarrassing her fellow new arrivals to the Sphere with her knowledge as well as her tendency to exploit any little mistake they made in their plans. Her first true example of her tactical talent was during the Battle of Ziost in which Republic Fleets stationed in orbit of the planet engaged the Sith Forces. After thirty days of combat, in which Vivithe contributed several ideas and tactics, the Empire won.

The next battle she had a hand in, the Reconquest of Ord Radama was a far more bloodier affair, though the Empire won there were heavy casualties on both sides. This did not affect her planning, people died in war, it was expected, but she did commit two mistakes in her planning. A rare example of failure from the talented woman, she did not take it easily, as several of her superiors voiced their disappointment to her for it, they knowing she could have done better. Vivithe was also notably involved with the battle involving Darth Nyiss in which she deployed biochemical weaponry to defeat the Republic forces. Vivithe was fascinated by the idea, at first taken back by the brutality of it, including how a percentage of the Imperial forces were hit as well. But then she was impressed by it, it had brought victory to their side, which mattered most in the long run.

During the last seven years of Minos Cluster Campaign is when she ushered her plans to become a more powerful Sith, not satisfied with being revered as just a skilled strategist. While contributing to the Campaign she took the opportunity to remove several of her opponents that blocked her ascent. Public embarrassment and the planting of crimes on her unlucky targets her favorite tactics. She coupled this with making friends in the right places, sometimes through blackmail, by within a year and half of the Sacking she had all of her pieces in the right spots, a following of people and a strong reputation. Her success within the Empire had earned her the loyalty and respect of many important people within the Imperial navy and army, though she has her fair share of people that are not happy with her tendency to throw away lives that aren't hers in pursuit of victory.

She ascended to Sith Lord status, a feeling of genuine happiness within her. Vivithe had proven herself to everyone but herself as she was still not satisfied, she would only have to get even better in order to avoid an unwanted fate as being a Sith Lord also painted a target on her back. A confident smile was on her face when she got onboard the Kaggath.

Personality and/or Motivation:
Vivithe Lansha, or Lady Lansha as she requests those below her refer to her as is a manipulative, dishonest woman, one never afraid to toss someone under the bus if it meant she got what she wanted. She’s extremely patient, especially for a Sith and always prefers to fight her battles outside of the battlefield, like she is playing a constant game of holochess. While not motivated by a want to feel superior, Lady Lansha expects respect from her subordinates. She’ll treat people she wants to control like her best friend, or her lover, constant disarming smiles accompanied by laughter, promises that make you want to wait on her every breath. While normally in control of her emotions, like every other Sith she will show moments of intense emotion, often the (few) times her plans go wrong, while in these bouts she tends to destroy everything and everyone around her. She rarely allows people second, and even more rarely third chances if they fail her. Several soldiers and officers under her command have been unceremoniously executed for failure which completely rested in their hands. She does respect honesty among her subordinates, though she herself isn’t exactly honest.


Player’s long term goals:
Onboard the ship her primary goal is to please or supplement Nyiss. She’s willing to step all over whoever she needs to in order to accomplish this. On the way to that she would like to acquire one or two apprentices, hopefully ones that come from turned Jedi aboard the Kaggath. The Sith that she could have as her apprentice are too untrustworthy, recently turned Jedi can be molded much better. Ultimately she wants to amass a following, people loyal to her that follow every sentence she speaks. Whether that involves her trying to take over the galaxy or just a planet or two she has not decided yet.

Relations:
Zanna - Met her once years ago when Zanna was with her master. Curious to meet her again.

Darth Nyiss - She's a woman that Vivithe admires greatly. While she has not yet to meet her personally, she has heard much about her.

[Dervish]

Hey guys! I got myself a job and will be moving 3 hours away! I'm going to try to get this collab finished up and then I think I might be unavailable for a little while, because I don't know when I'll have to disconnect the internet/ when I can set up new internet in the new apartment. I'll be busy packing and moving, besides. Just a friendly head's up, and I'll be able to check my phone for the OOC stuff but past that, I can't make any promises. Sorry about the pain in the ass!

[Ellri]

RL happens to everyone, Dervish. Good luck with the moving and new job.

[SpiritedDream]

Okay, she has been updated again, because Fallen reviewed her as well. Yay!

Notable Characteristics of Species:

Epicanthix are immune to Force-assisted mental trick, influence, domination and mind reading.
Epicanthix are identifiable by the epicanthic fold of their eyelids.

Flaws:

Often blinds herself to the darkness in other, giving people the benefit of the doubt.
She is willing to give everyone chances to redeem themselves, but with each broken promise she becomes less lenient towards that person. She gives six chances to each individual - she’s twice as lenient as others, but after the sixth she will cut ties with that person. In the case of Sith, after six attempts at redemption she will instead attempt to ‘put them down’, regarding them as little more than rabid dogs.
Subscribes to the ideal that if you are going to change, you must change in all areas and not just the ones that are easiest or benefit you most.
Her combat skills are lacking, being more suited for diplomatic roles instead.
Automatically trusts all Jedi, except those that were previously Sith. Redeemed Sith, she treats with civility and neutrality, unless they have breached her chance limit, in which case she distrusts them and waits for the moment when they fall back to the darkness so she can put them down.
Looks towards a better tomorrow rather than dwelling on today or the past.

Skills:

Basic field first aid (non-force powered)
Diplomacy, politics, history, basic tactics
High observation skills, able to read body language and the tension in a room to determine her next course of action.

Biography:

Andri was born on Panatha in the Outer Rim Territories, but not long after her birth her parents moved further into the known galaxy, to Denon, for work opportunities. It was due to this that she was picked up at a very early age by the Jedi Order, and whisked away to the Jedi Academy on Alaris Prime.

She doesn’t remember much of her parents, being just a toddler when she was taken away from them, and so grew into the Jedi way of life very quickly and easily. Her childhood was one of joy and laughter, enjoying her time playing with the other younglings and learning new things. She struggled to learn the lightsaber combat forms however, showing a much higher natural aptitude for the ways of the Force instead. She was a natural speaker, diffusing arguments and organising activities within the children’s play time and using keen eyes to assess a situation and come up with a plan, and was soon guided towards the lifestyle of a Consular and diplomat.

She became a Padawan at the age of 10, apprenticing under Jedi Master Ral Shodon, and travelled with him around the galaxy he visited other Academies and plied his skills as a diplomat and healer. Master Shodon was a stern taskmaster, focusing more on Andri’s prowess in the way of the Jedi than on allowing her to socialise with her agemates. Due to her own lack of natural combative skills, he only focused on bringing them up to acceptable levels before switching to intense training in the way of the Force. She herself showed no aptitude for the healing arts, instead learning the basics of field first aid. Alongside this, he trained her in the basics of diplomacy and the history of the Republic and the Order. He slowly worked on her natural naivety and gullibleness as well, but didn’t make much headway until they were six years into her training.

When she was 16, Master Shodon took Andri on a four year training trip to the Republic Elite’s Resort World of Alassa Major, to mingle with the politicians and elite of the galaxy. Her time spent on Alassa Major was anything but relaxing, as she was forced to rub elbows with the richest and most affluent of society. She was forced to leave behind her childish naivety and gullibleness very quickly, as he intensified her training in the diplomatic and political arenas, whilst not allowing her combat or Force skills to deteriorate. They ended up staying a year longer than Master Shodon expected, as it took extra time for him to train her to think things through more instead of instantly believing what everybody says.

Andri’s Master declared her ready for Knighthood at the age of 21, eleven years after she entered his apprenticeship. She was Knighted traditionally, barely passing her Trial of Skill, but making up for it with her skill in the Trial of Insight. The next fifteen years of her life were spent bouncing between diplomatic missions and being a spokesperson between the Jedi Council and the Republic, as Master Shodon had trained her to do, bouncing between her childhood Academy on Alaris Prime in her downtime and other Mid and Inner Rim planets .

When she felt her Master's death, Andri was shocked and has spent what time she can spare between political missions searching for information on the death of her Master and his apprentice at the time. She is determined to confront the person who killed her Master and either arrest them (in the case of non-Force sensitives) or kill them (in the case of Sith) to prevent any further deaths of those dedicated to peace.

She was in between missions at the time of the Sacking of Coruscant, readying herself for another trip around the Mid Rim worlds.

Personality and/or Motivation:

Optimistic and calm, she is always smiling and believes that everything will get better, you just have to believe and keep hope alive.
If judgement is not carried out on those who have betrayed her or the galaxy, she will be irritated. If a chance comes later for her to take them out, she will take the opportunity. If they have been redeemed between when she last saw them and the next, she will not attack immediately. She will be disapproving and distrustful, always waiting for the moment when they slip back into the darkness.

Player’s long term goals:

Keeping morale up for the captive Jedi, have fun! She works closely with the Republic, trying to unify the galaxy under one overall banner.

Light Side: A harsher, less forgiving view on the Sith, giving them only one chance to redeem themselves. In the case of already redeemed Sith, she will treat them suspiciously regardless of whether they were redeemed on the first chance or not, and any slipping will result in her ‘accidentally’ crossing paths with them and killing them for the good of the galaxy. She will still work towards unity, but will prescribe to the tough love mind set.

Dark Side: She will fall, and fall hard, twisting her views completely as she changes every aspect of herself, going from a ‘brighter tomorrow, good of the many person’, to a selfish, present-only person. She will seek to unite the galaxy through pain and equality through the Dark Side, not trusting anyone and seeing threats wherever she looks. She will never take on an apprentice, not wanting someone so close to her and learning her secrets.

Relations:

Jedi Master Ral Shodon - Master. She felt his death two months ago, and has been searching for clues on who killed him since.
Lea Rahn - current apprentice of Master Shodon. Andri has met her multiple times but never developed any friendship with the younger girl. She believes the young girl to be deceased due to being with Master Shodon at the time of his death.

[Sep]

Me and [@Echo] may have found a way for me to remain posting... kind off.

If @Ellri agrees with it.

[Ellri]

If its acceptable to Echo, we don't see any reason it shouldn't be to us.

[Heat]

Ignore that post in the characters tab. 5 hours of sleep doesn't help me to think sometimes. >.>

Moved the accepted sheet to me original post there.

[Dervish]

RL happens to everyone, Dervish. Good luck with the moving and new job.

@Ellri

Thanks man! Turns out move in isn't going to be until the end of September, but I am working at the beginning of August and that means hotel time. I'll be active a bunch in August!

[Fallenreaper]

Alright, Rescuers! Your mission is up, feel free to write your intro from the ship to the planet side and right up the scene. Currently I suggest you all dress like natives rather than Jedi, as Lyric would've preferred you all not draw attention to yourselves. The three thugs are one Rodian, Twi'Lek male, and human with some alien mix in him. :p If you need more, let me know.

[SpiritedDream]

I have posted. >.> <.<

[Ellri]

and we have replied, @SpiritedDream.

[Rtron]

Nazca volunteers as tribute.

[Ellri]

planning on having Nazca get on her bad side that soon, @Rtron?
