Siobhan was setting up for one of the lessons that she had booked. Well they had booked her since she was ever present in the community and had recently had a fantastic show about a month ago. Lexi, her agent had nearly fainted when she got the cheque.

Lexi insisted that with this amount of money that you have to think of it with a que rather than ck at the end. Siobhan had rolled her eyes at the comment and shook her head. Then she saw the numbers on the cheque. Yeah I think I didn’t blink for three minutes. I can donate most of it to charity and live on the rest for a good long while. Not that I will quit but I can slow down somewhat. Wonder what Joel would think? Or Paige and Milo? She was grinning just thinking about it.

“Vaughn!!!” A towheaded girl of five curls bouncing lept at Siobhan. Siobhan quickly dropped the brushes and the paints spinning around just catching the girl who giggled. “You never miss!!!!”

Siobhan laughed and the sound turned heads. Her laugh was like a siren call. More than one girlfriend, wife and mother smacked their boyfriend, husband and teenage son for staring at Siobhan.

Giving the little girl a hug and tickling her was the normal greeting for them. As a young boy of about seven started collecting the materials that were dropped. “Gwen is just excited to see you Vaughn.”

Siobhan grinned at Henri, the seven year old boy. “Just like you’re happy to see me too, right Henri?”

Henri nodded but looked serious his light brown eyes clear and bright with excitement. “Of course. What are we painting today?”

“Flowers in the park, ya dumb dumb.” A young girl with mouse brown hair replied. She was carrying canvas and had placed it next to Siobhan’s own. She had a hat on and her curls peaked out from underneath.

A handsome teenage boy with shoulder length dark hair mussed the curly haired girls hair and hat. “Natalie that wasn’t nice. Apologize to Henri.” He smirked and rolled his eyes as Natalie grumbled out an apology. “Hello Siobhan how are you today?”

Siobhan smiled as she set up the easel and paints for the shy little nine year old boy who had followed after Henri. “I’m great Peter. You?”

“Fantastic, now that I see you.” Peter laid it on thick grinning like a love sick fool and Siobhan was oblivious to the fact that the boy had a crush on her.

A blonde teenage girl bumped into Peter seemingly by accident. “My bad Pete. Didn’t mean to intrude but we have a limited time to get things set up before our parents come back.” Tara went immediately to help the shy little boy with golden blonde hair and brown eyes get things set up. “Come on Aaron let’s get you started.”

“Sheesh Tara be more careful.” Peter being the normal teenage boy was the last to realize that, of course, Tara did it on purpose and that she had a crush on him.

It was plain to see that Peter, Natalie and Henri were siblings. While Natalie, Aaron and Gwen were all siblings as well. The resemblance to each other was undeniable.

They all set up to start the lesson the youngest three with watercolors, easier to wash out, the three oldest with acrylics. With aprons on and brushes in hand they all watched Siobhan eagerly. “So pick something to paint.” Siobhan indicated the trees that were just starting to fully recover from winter. “Sometimes I paint from memory or imagination. I also paint from pictures.”

Peter looked over at Siobhan from around his currently blank canvas. “Mom has a piece of yours from your earlier work. ‘Fey Lights’ it’s beautiful. But I expect anything from you would be.”

Tara snorted and Peter glared at her. Tara blinked innocently and Peter shook his head looking back at Siobhan smiling. Siobhan glanced up at Peter with a quick smile and leaned down to catch what Aaron was saying.

@Penguin You're good to post her over.

Location: Korriban

Interaction: Other Apprentices

Mentions: Master @Jorick

Tishombra yet again turned her blade to parry Shiygo’s blade. “You’re getting boring Shiygo.” Spinning she dropped and swept his feet. He was apparently ready for her and jumped over her long lean leg clad in skin tight white leather.

Smirking Tishombra jerked her head to the right while Shiygo was still airborne. Shiygo was tossed head over heels for a brief moment then he was steadied. Tishombra looked over at Raevys who had a hand up in Shiygo’s direction. Interfering little bendy bitch. Tishombra’s eyes went cold with anger.

Tishombra followed through with a leap at Shiygo. She spun into an impressive moulinet as she touched down bringing the single lightsaber down to his throat centimeters away from taking off his head. Such was her control the moulinet performed was flawless and spectacular. “You just cost him his life Raevys. Next time don’t interfere with my match.” Tishombra held the lightsaber on a moment longer, keeping intense eye contact with Shiygo. “I hope for your sake you’re not sleeping with her. You know the Master won’t like it.”

She gave a chilling smile and flicked off the lightsaber. Tishombra walked over to Raevys and looked her in the eye smirking. “He’s really not that impressive or inventive. And if his swordsmanship is anything to go by, you’ll be doing all the work. But then again you would be able to tell since you’re lacking in that area, so you’re both perfect for each other.” Tishombra turned away and walked out the door. Almost laughing as she walked down the hallway to the study.

She could hear the ensuing argument and slowed to a stroll her footfalls soft and nearly soundless. And here comes Hanna with just enough arrogance to push it over the edge. She could hear Lord Zisna snapping about how they just gave me a clear advantage. She was especially not happy with Shiygo who took the bait far too quickly. Tishombra sucked her teeth at that and silently stalked down the hall.

Slowing Tishombra thought about how to use this to her advantage. Ideally they could be positioned to pay more attention to each other than a rise in power. I don’t find it worth it but she seems to be attracted to him enough that I could use it to my advantage.

She found herself at the study door and decided that she was going to see if there was a reason that her Master had to possibly go on a mission off this rock. Lord Rahl had kept her busy with things to do. The last few months had been to establish her position behind the Lords in favor. She’d gained that now she needed to show her Master she could be just as indispensable.

She had sensed her Master’s presence but he had not come in to the training hall to watch them spar, as he normally did. She wondered what had his attention as she stopped at the door. Knocking politely she waited to be addressed. She smoothed down her bright red hair and adjusted the supple white leather skin tight outfit. The white brought out the red in her hair making it look like wet blood.

It covered her from neck to ankles and the white knee high low heeled boots blended with it to look seamless. Her arms were bare and you could see the lightning scar that ran from her right shoulder down to her elbow. A testament to what she could endure.

@KillBoxUnanimous decision

[Approved] Tishombra Ferro, Sith Apprentice

@Almalthia Finally got around to rereading sheet. (so many shiny objects... so little time...)

Force throw isn’t a thing. It is merely a part of telekinesis.

You’ve described her force use in combat, but how do you imagine she tends to use it outside combat?

Fix those two thingsthat one thing, and the sheet should be good to go.

@Ellri

Asked about Force Throw in Discord was told to keep it.

Updated her use outside combat.

@Ellri

Sol City Modern Slice of life - Chapter 3 - (all welcome new and old)

@Tyler Night I’m good with this. If you want to do a Face Claim for a real actor, or what not I think it’d be cool. But just a suggestion.

[Approved] Tishombra Ferro, Sith Apprentice

Personnel Files:
What is “Sith-Human”?
Do you mean Sith Pureblood? Imperial Human?
Given the Sith ancestry percentage listed, her species would most likely be the former.

While not “wrong” per se, it is unusual for an apprentice of her age to have delved into three spheres of influence enough to be considered “associated” with them. Most Sith tend to only start branching out considerably later in life, when they have more influence and experience.

---

Updated.

Narrowed down.

---

Appearance
It generally takes a lot of Force Lightning to leave visible marks on the body. Or a lot of electricity for that matter. As burns go, electric burns are the least visible kind. Perhaps replace the source with something more technological? Something like an energy beam, a plasma torch or somesuch?

She should probably have at least latent hallmarks of her Sith ancestry, well beyond the sharply defined cheekbones. Some options could be: Cheek tendrils, bone spurs, “sithy” collarbones, etc.

---

Appearance wise lightning leaves a scar when someone is struck by it. I have a friend that has a scar similar to my character and that is where I pulled the idea from.

I have added that she looks more human than her siblings, a toss to her human ancestry as flavoring. Her eyes are very Sith though.

---

Force
Would it be a problem to write a bit of a descriptive bit on her use of the Force in addition to the nice list?

What sort of style does she favor? Is there anything she avoids doing?

You misspelled “crucitorn”.

---

Added.

Added.

Corrected.

---

Non-Force
Descriptive text would be nice here too, so that a better impression of what the character is like comes across.

---

Updated.

---

Combat & Lightsaber
Presuming she uses standard-hilt saber? It isn’t specified. Like the previous two sections, a bit of a description would be very nice.

It seems quite unusual to innate talent for such a wide range of lightsaber forms. We’d recommend shaking it up a bit and adjusting some of those talents over to just training. Probably for the less well-trained forms primarily, but we’d also recommend talking out the lightsaber stuff with Echo.

---

Updated. Also added a basic skill of unarmed combat.

None of the lightsaber talents are innate. Fencing, if this is what you’re referring to is. The advanced level for that skill with the years behind the character makes sense, after all with Olympic athletes train for shorter periods in life and are the best in what they do at a national level.

---

Influence
Being an apprentice of Embrus, she will have some influence due to his being a Darth, but you could perhaps specify that virtually all her influence comes through him.

Perhaps invent a couple of (really) minor folks that she has influence with, probably from her primary or secondary sphere. Even a regular ol’ army sergeant, corporal or such can be an asset, even if he or she cannot exactly change imperial policy or anything like that. For that matter, a friendship with a good cook can come in handy as influence. Don’t think solely about influence with major figures.
Plus, such characters might give other players something to work with (or against).

---

Updated.

---

Rivals
Is any of these four more important as rivalries go?
Verification: the lost limbs is the rivals losing said limbs, right?

---

Updated.
Affirmative hence the language of “...lost to Subject…”

---

Underlings/Associates
See the influence point, that overlaps with this one.

---

Added a couple here.

---

Ownerships
Which academy, the less-used one on Dromund Kaas, the one on Korriban or some other? The resettlement of Korriban is still in a fairly early stage, so there isn’t much in the way of civilians living there. Especially not next to the Academy.

She owns nothing except those three things? Really? Is her master that stingy with her? From the ownerships, it feels more like she’s a neophyte or acolyte than a full-fledged Sith.

---

These Academies are not named in the lore. None of this information is in the lore.

I have explained her reasoning for the lack of materialistic possessions.

---

Psychology
Not much to say on this section. A bit short, but concise. Perhaps build up a bit to show how her flaws affect her personality?

---

Noted; but no need to give away things that can be explored in role play. Also see the six month review at the end of her bio from an underling of Darth Embrus.

---

Flaws
How is she observant in spite of her partial extreme focus? If it is counteracted like that, why is it even a flaw listed?
What is she possessive of? Her few belongings? Clothes? The non-existent associates/underlings? Knowledge?

What makes her arrogant? Her ancestry? Her skill with the lightsaber? Her skill the Force? Other skills?

Is she arrogant in the face of all, or just in the face of some? If the latter, who?
What is she stubborn about?

---

I did not define it with real world definition, ADD is commonly characterized by those who have it as functioning in this way. It’s still a flaw and can be overwhelming at times but focusing exercises assist with lessening the fixation tendencies. Most people who have ADD tend to be more observant than the average person, it’s getting them to tell you what and when that is more complicated.

Expanded upon.

Expanded upon.

One does not have to have one thing in particular to be stubborn about.

---

Interests
Is she disinterested in improving her skills with the lightsaber? With the Force? Does she seek anything in her life beyond slicing and enjoying herself with song and dance?

---

Expanded a bit in this section.

---

Achievements
Highest marks at what? None of her listed skillsets immediately stand out as truly exceptional.

---

Updated.

---

Failures
Some minor grammar stuff in the first failure (missing comma).

---

Updated.

---

Interview
Being two years old upon enrollment at the academy is extraordinarily young, younger than both Darth Theya and Darth Nyiss were at the start of their training.
It is especially strange when combined with the fact that she passed from Neophyte to Acolyte early. While early discovery allows for some things to be taught early, there are many things that cannot be taught until the mind and body have reached a certain point of development.

We would suggest adding in some idea of how old she was at reaching each of the various key points in her training. Especially whenever she earned a new title.

Generally speaking, Sith don’t get the title of Apprentice until they either are claimed by a master, or (more rarely) amass the power to seize it for themselves. Sith seeking apprentices often come by the academy, or send underlings to look for prospective apprentices meeting certain criteria.

It takes a lot for a Darth to betray the Empire. Way more than you’ve described. Darths are powerhouses in the Empire, controlling significant forces and are generally ridiculously aloof. They would not inform a lowly apprentice that they’re going away, especially not where they were going unless they had a need for said apprentice to report to them there.

We would suggest rewriting the former master as at most a Sith Lord and to expand more upon the treachery situation leading up to this.

---

There is nothing saying that this is incorrect in the lore given. Nor at what age that a character is enrolled in the Academy. Again extrapolation from the lore given, is that there is a chance that the family could reside near an academy and therefore the child would be assessed and found early. None of her talents or skills, save for seduction, are outside the lore that is given. I broke down an estimate of when it was taught; Neophyte, Acolyte or a cross. The skills are listed as being things that she’d have learned within those years.

I have updated Major Achievements and Failures to reflect the ages as requested.

The lore once again is vague on what would be considered appropriate timeline for the Titled Apprentice, ergo extrapolation. Not to mention that it doesn’t seem to take much to get the title. Simply please an Overseer. While that may be an oversimplification it is not clear in the lore given. It is also confusing on the point of the difference in a Titled Apprentice and one that is de facto Apprentice by way of being chosen by a Lord/Darth. To make things simpler I have taken out the Titled Apprentice achievement.

I have made Darth Rahl Lord Rahl as suggested. The character’s lack of knowledge is what kept her alive. She would not know classified information so expanding on it serves no purpose in a file on this character. Nor would the recorder likely have access to that information.

---

All in all, this sheet is a good start, but needs a bit of work to flesh it out fully. We think that a bit more work on fleshing her out will make for a good Sith.

---

Updated and thank you! @Ellri

Siobhan

Name: Siobhan Jude Murphy

Age: 23

Height: 5'10"

Weight: 150 lbs



Zodiac Sign: Virgo

Special Talent: Siobhan is very observant. To the point of being accused of reading minds, which she can't.

Profession: Artist. From portrait to digital. Most recently her charity work for several various charities that cater to children in need.

Bio/Personality: Siobhan had an easy childhood. She was adopted by her parents as an infant and raised as their daughter. It didn't hurt that they were social elite and affluent to boot. They told her at a young age of the adoption and being the kind soul that she is Siobhan soon accepted it. It took her a while, about 6 months but she realized that she was lucky that she got the parents she had. She was ten at the time. Her parents encouraged her love of the arts and wanted to help her launch her career with their influence. Siobhan will have none of it. She wants to stand on her own in this area and has done well for herself since she turned eighteen. That was not a good year emotionally for her. Her best friend, Genevieve, committed suicide that year due to a brutal sexual assault. She launched a line of paintings in Genevieve's honor titled "Portrait of Genny". Which depicted scenes from her memories of Genevieve. The paintings evolved to Genevieve's death which was likened to John Everett Millais' famous Ophelia painting. She organized her own auction and donated the proceeds to Genevieve's family and set up a fund for sexual assault victims. This launched her career in the art world and garnered attention from the elite philanthropist all over. Of course that's the good that happened to her, well that and the worst that's happened so far. She's had men in her life but no one special. After Genevieve's assault she distanced herself from men and doesn't let them to close, consequently she is still innocent.

Siobhan is all smiles very friendly and engaging. She loves to listen and can come off as introverted but is not, she just likes watching people. She is a people person and likes to be around others. How else does she get subject material for her art. She is never far from her sketch pad and most of the time has paint, pastels, chalk, whatever her latest medium is on her, be it on clothes or herself. However when it comes to formal functions she cleans up rather well. She is a HUGE nerd and loves Star Wars, several book series, comics and adores Charmed as her favorite TV series. She loves to cosplay as well and Comic-Con is an absolute must.

****Chapter 1: Recently she is come more out of her shell and has adopted Paige as a pseudo older sister/best friend. She's even made friends with a couple of guys. Joel and Milo.

*****Chapter 2: Joel and Siobhan finally got together and they are an item. Much to Marlin’s chagrin. Siobhan has really let down barriers with Joel. For her he’s the real deal. She loves to support his racing since they share a love of fast cars. Speaking of cars, Karen, her ‘Vette is finally done.

Likes: Animals, drawing, dancing, singing, painting, people watching.

Dislikes: Purposefully ignorant people, injustice, liars, bullies, abuse

Favorite Song: Siobhan loves all types of music so she doesn't have a favorite song.

----------------------------- Me -------------------------

Age: Older than yesterday younger than tomorrow...seriously though a lady never tells...but I have to scroll to find my birth year when signing up for things...and I can buy alcohol legally...can I stop now this is depressing...

Region: US, Texas

Years Role Playing: D&D before 3rd Ed came out, posting for about 15 years or so.

Frequency of Posting: I'd like to commit to weekly at this time. If that changes I will let you know.

Like of Oranges: Both the color and the fruit is a very big yes.

Very Simple: Are you, as a PLAYER more a solo/small group poster or would you consider yourself a social butterfly open for anything? I like to think I’m a combination of the two.

Choose a number from 1-5 telling us where you would rate yourself in the above criteria. ONE being the least interactive and FIVE being the most. Being a Co-GM I’d love to say 5 but with the fact that I have work and kids AND X-Men to run on this site I will stick with a solid 3.
