Star Wars Demons of our Fathers

Sorry for the late app.

Also borrowed some of the details that @Sohtem used in their cs. Changed around the formatting a bit too, if you don't mind.

EDIT: ALSO I know Kurt sounds Mary Sue-y and I am pulling out an obscure species so that only adds to the "special snowflake-yness," but I don't plan to make him as such.

EDIT2: Just an fyi as I don't expect you to read everything on Ssi-Ruu page, 10 is the age of young adulthood for a Ssi-Ruu, so he basically has the maturity of a 17 year old!

EDIT3: We're all a bunch of fucking orphans, aren't we?

History

Kurt is the first force sensitive Ssi-Ruu known to Ssi-Ruu history. His force powers, however, were not known at first. Kurt lived the normal life as a red Ssi-Ruu, a militant one. He was excellent with a blaster on the battlefield and learned the way of combat right after childhood at age 6. His latent force powers made him a master of marksmanship and was praised for it. His incredible reflexes with a blaster and swift movement in hand to hand made him a force to be reckoned with. Many older Ssi-Ruu veterans thought he would become a general one day, while current soldiers thought he was a nuisance. The disliked how he had already caught up to speed with their skills that they had been working on for years within a couple months. He was mostly shunned by his fellow squad mates, but Kurt simply kept to himself and kept dreaming of becoming a warrior of legend.

His dreams would be crushed after his force powers were discovered. One day, when out doing practice rounds with his squad when they were cornered by vicious wildlife. Out of ammo on their blasters and already losing many, the remaining squad members had to climb up a tree to keep away from the beasts. It looked as if Kurt and his squad would surely perish. However, the older squad mates saw this as an opportunity to get rid of Kurt once and for all. They decided that if they threw Kurt to the beasts, that they would be occupied with eating him and the rest of them could get away safely. Kurt was easily shoved off the tree and fell, surely causing his doom. But as he opened his eyes, he did not see the beasts tearing into his flesh. Instead, they completely ignored him. He looked up to his squad mates who looked back in confusion. Kurt did not care how he was still alive, but he quickly fled from the scene.

When arriving to the military outpost, he simply said the rest of his crew died in an attack via the local predators, and he thought that was the end of that. He found a new squad, and resumed his training, but was completely distrusting of his new assigned squad.

His former squad mates, however, were not dead. The group had decided to sacrifice a different person on the team and made their way back to the post. They told the captain of how Kurt seemingly turned invisible and his scent was undetectable, as if he completely vanished. At first, the captain did not believe the rest of them, but was eventually convinced to recreate the encounter unbeknownst to Kurt to see if their claims were legitimate. The scenario was recreated but this time it was recorded via hidden cameras planted on blasters. Kurt had used his Force Camouflage ability to sneak away from the beasts.

Kurt was quickly removed from the military and had Ssi-Ruu scientists begin to experiment on him. They ran several trials on him and performed various dissections, which felt like pure torture to the poor Ssi-Ruu. With the force mainly unknown to the Ssi-Ruu, they could not come up with conclusions to Kurt's powers and therefore decided their only way to make effective use of him was to drain his life force and put it into their Entechment technology, and create some kind of super weapon.

When unbound from his torture table, Kurt quickly used his force powers of speed and camouflage to escape the science facility. He ran away, and thought that leaving the Outer Rim would be his best course of action. He smuggled himself onto the first starships he found, and kept hopping ships until he did not see anymore Ssi-Ruu.

Being the only kind of his species on in the Inner Rim, he was an exile and was completely lost, until by chance a Jedi Knight found him and detected his power with the force, offering to bring him into the order. Mistrusting at first, he was soon persuaded due to him having little options and the offer of food and lodging.

He joined Anna's group of padawan's and his still incredibly mistrusting of everyone, only every really trusting Anna's teachings in the force.

Personality

After being betrayed by his squad, captain, and entire society, Kurt is very mistrusting of others almost to the point of paranoia. He is very quiet and always has a somewhat crazy look to his eyes, for fear of being back stabbed. However, Kurt is still technically not even a young adult, so he is still quite curious about the world around him and the powers of the force. The only time his curiosity bleeds through is whenever Anna is teaching him or the others about the force. In his free time, he is either reading alone in his room about the force or practicing double bladed lightsaber techniques with his lightsaber and vibroblade.

Battle Details

Has a standard blue lightsabers, as he strongly associated himself with the path of the Jedi Guardian. He fights using Form IV (Ataru,) preferring to overwhelm his opponent with his lightsaber take out his opponents quickly. He also owns a vibroblade, and tends to practice with that in addition to his lightsaber, preferring the double bladed fighting style. When he doesn't have his lightsaber or vibroblade, he is quite capable with a blaster, as he trained with one for a couple years during his time in the army. Kurt is also good at hand to hand combat, likely attributed to his natural wookie-like strength and size.

Extra Details

Due to his species being unable to produce the sounds of galactic basic, he wears a communication translator on his head (show in picture) that translate what he says. Were that device to be destroyed or disabled, he would only be able to speak in his native clicks and whistles.

@Lord Orgasmo Listen man, I'm 5'7" irl, I would kill a man if I was 5'10"

The Great Alliance

"Ah, venison!" Carver said happily. He quickly grabbed a portion and put it on his plate. And just as quickly, he began cutting it. "Do you think the monks hunt it themselves? Or are they the sort that hate doing the hunting themselves?"

Carver stabbed a piece of the venison with his fork and began chewing it, speaking between mouthfuls. "I've been to a couple of temples who order hunters to do it. You would think they would prefer to kill the animal, so they could bless it after. But who am I to say?"

Carver looked around the room, and all seemed to be quiet. Tough crowd. Carver shifted his view to the venison, which was the sole focus of his attention. He had been running for quite a while, after all. It's a shame that this is the first time I'm meeting with them, in all my years as Tyrannus.

"Well then, let's get this diplomatic meeting on the road, shall we?" Carver slid his plate away, finished with the venison. "Correct me if I'm wrong, but we're calling this to discuss the validity of this alliance, correct?"

I am down as well! This will be casual, correct?

So, if it has been awhile since someone posted, can I just go ahead and go out of turn order?

It's fine in my book. Not sure about everyone else.

@Aquanthe

Cool beans. Excited to get back into roleplaying :D Here's to a great RP!

The Great Alliance

Carver "Swift Colossus" Pentaghast

"My superior told me, 'Swift Colossus! That's your warrior title,' but I told him I was upset that they didn't named me 'Carver the Carver.' Carver, as in carving through enemies. He laughed at me, and I did 200 pushups. It was worth it."
-Age: 42
-Height: 5' 10"
-Weight: 185 lbs

Clothing

"These looks nice, don't they? Too bad that's all they're good for."
Normal
See image. The armor he wears is light and is mostly for show, and would not hold up in combat much better than studded leather armor.
"Ah how I miss the glory days. My back, however, does not feel the same settlement."
Battle Gear
Carver rarely adorns any battle gear anymore, as he did his duty as a soldier and no longer fights in wars. However, this does not stop Carver from pushing himself and practicing his skills with the royal guard. His weapon of choice is a broadsword, to which he used to be able to move with much agility when he was in his prime. However, as he is older and out of actual practice, he is somewhat clunky with it, and has moved on to try and master the long sword. He wears plate mail when he has to fight.

Biography:

"Ah, youth. How I long to go back to it."
Carver was son of a Dec and lived a fantastic life as a young child. He received excellent schooling and top notch combat training. He excelled in both fields and this trend continued onto his military career, where he joined the army at the age of 14. He wasn't deployed onto the border against the north until 18, and that is where he made a name for himself.
"The border was so boring. I spent most of my days counting grains of sand in the desert. Which I counted all of. Twice."
Carver's first two years on the border was nothing eventful. It was mostly keeping bandits and thieves out of Praelium. But one night when Carver was watching post at the end of his 2nd year on patrol, he noticed an usual light in the distance. He pulled out his spyglass and saw in distance something the size of a large battalion, headed straight towards them. He immediately sounded an alarm and readied his weaponry for battle. However, the people on station were outnumber 3 to 1, and Carver could only hope to hold off the oncoming attackers. Carver did not fear them, and rallied the men that he had and began their defense. With Carver's leadership and battle prowess, he held of the attackers, who wore flags from a single northern country. He reported this information to the House of Decus, and thus began the War for Praelium.
"Their biggest mistake was first attack the post that I was on watch for."
The northern country that had attacked was leaving their homeland due to the poor desert conditions and rise of an imminent attack from other countries onto them. Hopelessly outnumbered by the much larger country, they decided their best option was to launch their own campaign on Praelium and take over the much nicer land there. Praelium, however, did not bend over very easily, or at all for them. With reports of Carver's great leadership skills and proficiency on the battlefield reaching the House of Decus, Carver was immediately promoted and given his own battalion of soldiers. The war lasted for fifteen years, as the fighting was relentless from the northern country. The war only ended when the last of the northern country's people had either surrendered or perished. Carver's incredible defensive tactics and actual presence on the battlefield played a great role in the seemingly impossible victory for Praelium, so when the old Tyrannus passed away it was no contest for Carver when the election was held.
"My rule as Tyrannus as been the 2nd best experience of my life. Nothing quite beats the thrill of good guy versus bad guy in war, though."
As Tyrannus, most everyone in Praelium agrees that Carver has done an excellent job. As his country is recovering from the war, he has focused on reconstruction of damaged buildings and a bigger defense against another possible northern attack. He is a big proponent of the alliance, as his country is the closest thing one to the warring battlefield of the northern desert.

Personality

"Describe myself..? I think Tyrannus is a good enough descriptor."
Although Carver can be disciplined when need be, he prefers to take things light when possible. He tends to avoid conflict and likes to compromise when possible. However, when his back is against the wall Carver can be aggressive, ruthless, and passionate, especially when it comes to his duty as Tyrannus of Praelium. During his youth Carver was quite cocky, but since then he has toned down, although his bravado still bleeds through sometimes.

Country sheet:

Praelium

Political System

Stratocracy (Military based). Praelium is ran by the House of Decus, the House of Dominus, and ruled by the Tyrannus.

Tyrannus

The Tyrannus is essentially the king of Praelium and can steer the country to however they wish, as long as they act within the bounds of the law. The Tyrannus, in addition to leading a the country, also controls the military and can declare war whenever they so please. They are expected to attend to international affairs and represent the nation as a whole. When it comes to the House of Decus, they run the meetings and can also act as an individual Dec within the House.
To become a Tyrannus, a soldier must rise through the ranks of the military and be honorably discharged. If the Tyrannus dies, all soldiers eligible and willing to be a Tyrannus is selected as a potential candidate for Tyrannus. An election is held between all members of the military, and the Tyrannus serves until their death or they are deemed no longer fit for the position.

House of Decus

Essentially the equivalent to the United States senate, but holds a bit less power as the Tyrannus holds most of it. Members of the house are referred to as "Dec"s, and create laws. To become a Dec, one must rise through the ranks as a soldier to a certain rank (obviously not as high of a requirement as a Tyrannus) and if they are willing, are granted to be a Dec.

House of Dominus

Only few citizens of Praelium remember the origins of the mysterious Dominus, but they hold power that is much greater than the Tyrannus. Superstitious say they are mystics, others just say they are crazy monks. Either way, they command much respect. All citizens are exposed to a test at age 10 given by the Dominus. The citizens know that the test determines membership into the House of Dominus, and that children who meet the standards are usually quickly taken away and live in the district where the House of Dominus is located. It is said that members of the House go through rigorous study and come out infinitely wiser than most people. The House will insert themselves in situations where they deem necessary, such as a Tyrannus acting out of line or if there is corruption in the House of Decus, which they always somehow find out about. If the population of Praelium ever feel threatened by the government, the House of Dominus is where they go to seek help. The House has overthrown Tyrannuses and the House of Decus before, but it never through brute force and was always through cunning and stealth.

Flag

Territory Description: Praelium is a land of extremes, with either having great mountains as of the Mountain of Imperium or stretches of flat lands such as the Great Plains of Vaux. The diverse terrain provides good farming land and defensive military points.
Culture Descrption: Praelium holds great value in the honor of battle. They do not view it as a savage act, but instead view it as an ultimate test of mind and body. Everyone must have joined the military at one point and gone through training as per the law of the land. Those who do not show great promise in battle are often given peasant lives of farming or running a stand in a market. While not unappreciated, peasants are viewed as lesser citizens by military ones, but do not suffer from any harsh laws that forbid them from anything, except holding a position in government.
