Name: Anakin Skywalker
Title: "Darth Vader"
Gender: Male
Appearance: Darth Vader is a cybernetically enhanced human male standing at a height of 6'8" (2.03 meters) tall and weighs in at 120 kg (264.5 lbs) in his armor. His black and dark-grey armor is ominously imposing, from the tip of his helmet to the bottom of his boots, and also wears a flowing cape to strike fear into his enemies. He also sports a control panel on his chest to regulate his breathing, suit temperature, as well as other suit-related augmentations. But behind that suit, Vader's body is pale and badly crippled. His skin has turned almost pale-white from the lack of exposure to the light, severely scarred, and even his arms and legs being robotic parts after being lost to his former master, Obi-Wan Kenobi.
Personality:Upon transforming into Darth Vader, the once jedi Anakin Skywalker became utterly ruthless, showing no apparent mercy to his enemies, occasionally killing his own officers for their failures, and imparting torture to accomplish his goals. Having lost all that he cared about by his own hand, the heartbroken and self-loathing Sith only showed a fierce dedication to the Emperor, whose orders he would execute with steadfast devotion and deadly precision, no matter the task. Considered to be the Empire's first terror weapon and noted to employ antiquated diction, he was tenacious and unstoppable, and made most Imperial naval officers uncomfortable. Part of his reputation was that he would normally be quiet (and thus his presence made for a good implied threat to others), whereas shows of passivity were not. Indeed, it was well-known that he usually preferred to oversee operations personally, using action to block out any intruding feelings. He was frequently at odds with those who lacked faith in the Force, finding it "disturbing" or even blasphemous.
Vader would often make use of pressurized meditation chambers that allowed him to remain without his helm—the neural connection to his armor—, moments during which he felt the perpetual pain that Kenobi had inflicted on his flesh. During such sessions, he would meditate to use this pain to feed his hate, which in turn fed his strength, and he never laughed. Claiming not to feel regret, and yet haunted by his past, and the screams of his wife, he was determined to never talk about his old life, and detested all that reminded him of his past self (whom he deemed to be weak). He dared not remember such a period of his life, which he hated; indeed, through the use of the dark side, he kept his memories as Anakin Skywalker buried, although it took great effort even after twenty years of practice. However, his rapport with the stormtroopers who supported him, and the technique he displayed in wielding his crimson lightsaber, gave him away. Much like before, Vader remains an impatient man, although he tempered his impulses with the faithful obedience he was due to his master, Sidious.
Ideals:To serve his sith master and to ultimately rule the galaxy with the imperial might of the Galactic Empire.
Biography:(I think we all know how Vader came to be, but here's a rundown none of the less for you guys who happened to have lived under a rock).
Before he became a disciple of the dark side, Darth Vader was Anakin Skywalker, a goodhearted Jedi and hero of the Clone Wars. While he was considered one of the most powerful Jedi in the galaxy, Anakin had broken the Order’s code by secretly marrying Senator Padmé Amidala. When he began to suffer visions that Padmé would die in childbirth, Anakin sought a way to prevent this fate. Supreme Chancellor Palpatine, a mentor to the young Jedi, claimed that the dark side was a pathway to this ability: he could stop people from dying with Sith power. At the same time, the Chancellor revealed that he himself was a Sith Lord, Darth Sidious, and would train Anakin. Confused and conflicted, Anakin ultimately succumbed to Sidious’ temptations. Rechristened as Darth Vader, he became an agent of evil.
Sidious assumed the mantle of Emperor, and Vader helped the Empire destroy the Jedi Order; without mercy, Anakin led a legion of clones into the Jedi Temple, and personally killed both fully trained Jedi and novice younglings alike. On the lava planet Mustafar, where he had been sent to assassinate Separatist leaders, Vader battled his former Master and friend, Obi-Wan Kenobi. Anakin fought with an aggressive ferocity, ignoring Obi-Wan's pleas to come to his senses. Ultimately, the Jedi Master bested the new Sith. Vader was left severely injured and burned on the banks of a lava river, filled with anger and hate. He was found by the Emperor and encased in frightening black armor that kept him alive, and given mechanical lungs that emitted an ominous breathing sound with his every step. Anakin Skywalker was no more.
Vader quickly became a highly visible symbol of the Empire, serving as Palpatine’s fearsome enforcer. He hunted down fugitive Jedi who had escaped Order 66, as well as ferreting out enemies both within and without. Vader’s sudden arrival within the Imperial hierarchy gave rise to many rumors. Some high-ranking Imperials claimed he was a laboratory creation built to mimic the fallen Separatist warlord General Grievous, while others whispered that he was a technologically augmented warrior schooled in the now-forbidden arts of the Force. Only a few guessed the truth – that Vader was the reborn Jedi Anakin Skywalker.
Vader sent agents such as the Inquisitor to find not just escaped Jedi but also new Force-sensitive beings that might pose a threat to the Empire. And on Palpatine’s orders, he worked with the ambitious, ruthless Grand Moff Tarkin to supervise construction of the Death Star and stamp out resistance to Imperial rule.
Powers:- The Force: Vader is an incredibly powerful user of the force. Like all jedi and sith alike, he was born as a force-sensitive, and was capable of using the force in a variety of ways. However, some of his most popular abilities include: force telekinesis, force push, force choke, force repulse, force crush, saber throw, issue mind-tricks on weaker beings, and a whole bunch of other methods. He often uses it as his go-to method to dispatch opponents, only going to his lightsaber if it didn't work. He's also capable of telepathy.
- Superior Swordsmanship: As a sith, Vader is also extremely powerful when combating opponents with his lightsaber, having bested and dispatched many powerful jedi and monstrous beasts himself.
Weapons:- Lightsaber: The only piece of equipment Vader needs is his crimson lightsaber, a highlight of his skills as a sith lord. He built the weapon some time after his fall to the Dark side of the Force at the end of the Clone Wars. It replaced the one he lost during his duel with Obi-Wan Kenobi on Mustafar. The lightsaber was equipped with a dual-phase function, allowing the blade's length to be manually controlled and altered in combat. After his accession to Sith Lord, Vader was known to draw his lightsaber when facing Jedi, but also against other opponents, even though he sometimes preferred to use the Force to dispatch lesser victims.
Equipment: - Comn-link: Vader doesn't carry much on him, but if there's one thing that he likes to keep at hand, it's a valid source of communication in which to contact others with. The comnlink allows Vader to get in contact from his Imperial Enforcers, to the Emperor. Of course, this means the other person must have one as well, but if all else fails, telepathy is a secondary way to get his way.
