Star Wars: Retaliation (OOC, Signups)

[Flarbinia]

•Character Full Name: Janus Onasi

•Gender: Human

•Race/Species: Human

•Age: 35

•Physical Appearance: A blonde haired blue eyed woman wearing a COMPNOR Uniform and a pair of purple ear rings.

•Homeworld: Telos

•Personality: Despite being paid more to edit the news than to report it, Janus still has the heart of a journalist, wanting to give interviews instead of editing them.

•Biography: Born on Telos, Janus was the odd one in her family, as she desired to serve the Republic as a journalist. Once she was old enough to move out of the house, she headed to Coruscant to begin her path to becoming a reporter. Janus spent years working her way up the ladder until she was promoted to the rank of journalist, though the fulfillment of this dream would not be as glamorous as she though. The Jedi Order had launched a raid on Geonosis that escalated into a battle and she soon found herself working as a propagandist in a department where her coworkers hated her for being from a planet that had sworn itself to the Confederacy. Every day, an ex-Judicial would order her to remove exit wounds, remove blood, dirt, and grime from armor, crop out corpses and enemy ships, deemphasize explosions, change a headline, a job she performed without question, as she was paid more for this job than she was paid to be a regular reporter, for while propagandists were not as glorious or respected as the Clones and Jedi Knights, they were an integral part of the war effort. This quickly became the norm until one event occurred that would change everything: the attempted assassination of Palpatine. Overnight, the department's orders changed from portraying the Jedi as heroes to painting them as treasonous villains. Images of battles between the GAR and Separatist Militias were altered to make the Jedi appear to be ordering the massacre of unarmed civilians or surrendering soldiers, replacing blaster wounds with those from a Lightsaber, and replacing the name of a Jedi who was commended in the original version of a released article with those of the highest ranking non-Clone officer. Janus, being sick and tired of editing the same old stories, quickly became a supporter of the Empire.

However, Janus Onasi, being a journalist at heart, desires to return to interviewing people instead of editing out the parts that are not approved by COMPNOR. This longing for a return to the limelight only grew as her workload was reduced to simply keeping the Inquisition out of articles and editing out the politically inconvenient parts of speeches. It was only the fact that a Field reporter's life expectancy was only three seconds longer than that of a Medic and the tendency of her bosses to send troublemakers to the most dangerous parts of the frontlines without anything to that prevented her from asking to be transferred to field duty. Recently, she has been assigned to the 797th Legion, a Legion of Clones notorious for their habit of "borrowing" equipment and vehicles that they found on the battlefield.

•Character Full Name: Aliella Harmenix

•Gender: Female

•Race/Species: Human

•Age: 33

•Physical Appearance:

•Homeworld: Coruscant

•Personality: Calm, Respectful, Patient, Devoted, Honest, and Hard-Working

•Biography: Born and raised on Coruscant to a wealthy mining family, Aliella Harmenix was just a simple woman trying to live her life on Coruscant. Since Aliella was the only child in her family she was often spoiled by her overprotective parents to which she wasn't very fond of always being watched. Unlike most of the rich children on Coruscant, Aliella disliked the rich life she had and wanted a higher purpose in her life so when she became of age, she went to join the Naval Academy on Coruscant. Her parents of course protested this decision, but by this time Aliella had already cut off all of her connections to her family during her time at the Naval Academy. During her studies at the Academy, she would be the best in her class with her graduating with flying colors.

After she graduated from the Academy, Aliella didn't see much action and was hoping there would be a war where she could use her talents instead of them being wasted doing nothing. Her wish soon came true once the Clone Wars started and with that she would serve in Admiral Tanwitt's fleet in the Mid Rim, with her being promoted to captain the Venator Class-Destroyer Defiance. During her time in Tanwitt's fleet, she would engage in serval successful battles with Separatist fleets and unlike Tanwiit who was usually aggressive with his tactics, Aliella was always cautious in battle and made sure her plans were successfully executed to which they worked out very well. Unlike other Republic fleets, Tanwitt's fleet never had a Jedi General be with them when they battled against Separatist forces. Aliella was mostly neutral on the Jedi, she saw them as a benefit to the war effort and sometimes saw them as a hinderance. After the end of the Clone Wars and Order 66, Aliella would remain with Tanwitt's fleet to keep law and order under the new Galactic Government.

[The Anarcho-Syndicalist Commune]

•Character Full Name: Kreis Eldar

•Gender: Male

•Race/Species: Human

•Age: 35

•Physical Appearance:

•Homeworld: Mandalore

•Personality: Kreis is not an overtly friendly man. Though more talkative and more likely to crack a dry joke than other Mandalorians, he takes his job seriously and does not mess around when it comes to the task at hand. He holds the tenants of Mandalore close, though not quite as zealous as some of his brothers in the Death Watch did. He has his own strict code of honor that he keeps. He has little time for friends, though he has no issue with taking allies. Kreis avoids roles of leadership, having learned during the civil conflicts on Concordia that leaders are the first to die when something goes wrong. He cares for family, having lost most of his at a young age. He above all else loves Mandalore and will defend it with his life, even if it means having to fight those he has made an oath to. His first and last oath shall always be to Mandalore.

•Biography: Kreis was born within Clan Eldar in 54 BBY. His family were Martial Traditionalists, and as Vas grew he had their values instilled in him on the daily. By the time he was 6 he was training in several forms of combat under his father and mother. Then the war came. Kreis witnessed more carnage that year than most people would in a lifetime. Both his mother and father gave their lives in the war, along with most of their branch of Clan Eldar. Kreis, his aunt, and a few of his cousins were all that remained of the Traditionalist side of their family. At the end of the war, Kreis and his family found themselves exiled upon Concordia, with nothing to do but stew in his anger.

Kreis's cousins quickly found themselves displeasured with the state on Concordia, and ventured out into the galaxy, becoming part of the Old Mandalorian movement. Kreis however stayed with his aunt, Zalla. Zalla fell in with one of the groups that would become the Death Watch, and forged Kreis into a weapon of vengeance over his formative years, along with their new comrades within the watch. As Kreis grew, so did his expertise in the ways of combat, until he became respected and feared among the Death Watch, though he chose on his own accord not to become a leader, seeing the target that such roles had put on people during the formation of the Watch.

Kreis followed Pre Vizla during the then Governor's many schemes, and into their initial exile. During this time he began to chafe more and more with the followers of Bo-Katan Kryze, though his on and off girlfriend counted herself among them. Kreis did not hold it against her, as their relationship was fleeting at the best of times, and both never felt particularly confined by it.

As the Clone Wars continued forward, Kreis watched Vizla make an alliance with the Sith Lord Maul, and then fall to him. While the Nite Owls abandoned the watch at that time, Kreis had watched Maul defeat Vizla in combat, and honored his oath to Mandalore, no matter who ruled it. He remained among the Super Commandos, as those who followed Maul and Gar Saxon called themselves. Though he painted his armor initially, the red paint on it eventually faded from Kreis's beskar, leaving it jet black.

Following the Siege of Mandalore at the end of the Clone Wars, Kreis was taken prisoner by troopers reporting to a republic Admiral known as Chus Synel, and taken into the Admiral's personal custody. Synel was a long time schemer, successful admiral, and Loyalist to Palpatine, and as such was rewarded with a position of Moff within the Mid-Rim shortly after the end of the Clone Wars. Now Moff Synel approaches her Mandalorian Prisoner with a proposal...

[Castriarta]

•Character Full Name: Rasana Ohn. Rasana is no longer ever referred to by her birth name, however, now only known as “TR-6283”.

•Gender: Female

•Race/Species: Thyrsian (Echani offshoot)

•Age: 20

•Physical Appearance:
TR-6283 under her armor

Unlike their close Echani relatives, who are noted for their pale skin, white hair, and silver eyes, the people of Thyrsus are distinguished by dark skin, dark hair, and golden eyes. Rasana, or TR-6283 as she is now known, is a typical Thyrsian female. She stands at 1.7 meters or 5 feet 6 inches. Her hair is a dark, rich brown with lighter, almost bronze-like highlights. She has light brown skin with copper undertones, and her eyes are warm and bright, the color of molten gold. When she is working undercover as an Imperial ambassador, officer, or agent she wears simple but sleek black tunics and cloaks designed to be classy but functional.

In reality, TR-6283’s appearance under the armor and cloak of the Shadow Guard does not matter at all. To herself and to her absolute Master, the Emperor, TR-6283 is no longer “really” Rasana Ohn. Her “real” appearance is not her face, it is the expressionless mask of the Guard. Unless she is on an undercover operation where her true identity as a Shadow Guard is unknown, TR-6283 is never seen without her helmet. Nobody she has served alongside, save for her fellow Shadow Guards and the Emperor himself, know the appearance of her natural face. It does not matter to TR-6283. Her face does not need to be seen, it should not be seen. Her true identity is the mask she wears, the face of the Empire, an empty and anonymous servant of her Master. She is invisible. She is a shadow.

TR-6283’s outer appearance is identical to every other Shadow Guard. The appearance of these Guards is the same as that of the Royal Guards, except that their armor and visor colors have been inverted; the full body armor and robe are black and the visor is red. The armor, though it is concealed under their long cloak, provides a great deal of protection, making it functional as well as ceremonial. It is much more flexible than standard Imperial armor, allowing for a greater degree of movement that is required for close-quarters combat. The armor of the Shadow Guards bears design influences from the equipment of the Mandalorian Death Watch, the Thyrsian Sun Guards, and the Senate Guards of the former Republic, with the Sun Guards’ armor in particular being the direct influence. The helmet, unlike a Clone or a Stormtrooper’s, is completely expressionless and featureless, save for a foreboding eye slit visor. The visor of the Shadow Guard helmet is capable of imaging thermal data, as well as infrared and ultraviolet wavelengths. A macrobinocular scope in the helmet aids in sniping and surveillance.

•Homeworld: Thyrsus

•Personality: TR-6283 is a tender-hearted young woman prone to feelings of intense passion at polar extremes of the emotional spectrum. She is a warrior of absolute dedication, knowing no restraint in the pursuit of her principles. Her current guiding principle is service to the Emperor, the immensely powerful Darksider who has conquered her mind and spirit almost without her knowledge. If TR-6283 believes in something, she believes in that something with every fiber of her being, no holding back. She does not know how to use only half of her heart; she either hates completely or loves totally. TR-6283 is an altruistic person, putting the interests of whoever or whatever she is committed to above her own. Her service to the Empire is completely selfless, as she acts with complete disregard for her own safety and no thought to her own identity. The individual that TR-6283 was before her service to Palpatine is gone, replaced by a living extension of his will. She is a risk taker, willing to make huge sacrifices, go through great pain, and undergo massive trauma in the name of her beliefs and loyalties. She is an extraordinarily fierce fighter, having been hand picked by the Emperor to be trained in secret for his elite personal bodyguard force after she survived the massacre of the Sun Guards that happened on his orders. She has been indoctrinated by the Emperor and his intense charisma (boosted immensely by his dark powers) to the point of being completely subservient to his will. She is completely devoted to her master to the point of gladly giving her life in his service. The Shadow Guard asks for no mercy and has been trained to give none.

Coming from a patriarchal, male-dominated world where women have very little social or political power, TR-6283 has a strange mix of subservient restraint and willful resistance imprinted in her personality. Having learned to respect the Patriarchs of Thyrsus and serve them in the Sun Guard, this servitude and loyalty carries over in his vocation to the Empire.

But above all, TR-6283 is mysterious. A silent cloaked figure in black, the Shadow Guard never speaks, unless her Emperor demands it. She is his silent, unfaltering disciple, enacting his will without question or hesitation. She remains wrapped up within herself, consumed by her service to Darth Sidious. This can be terrifying and awe-inspiring to other beings, who may believe that the Shadow Guard’s mind is completely gone, wiped blank and replaced with a numb commitment to Palpatine.

•Biography: Once known as Rasana Ohn, TR-6283 was born on the planet Thyrsus, to a family of Sun Guard warriors in the service of Darth Plagueis. The Sun Guards had been dedicated servants of the Sith Lord for a generation, since their legendary warrior-leader and Supreme Sun Guardian Thull Wulain had sworn fealty to Plagueis and his lineage. The Guards are a deeply religious order, dedicated to the fiery stars of the Galaxy, believing them to be the source of power and life. They worship these suns, and were led to believe that the Sith held the power of the sun. They believed the Dark Lords of the Sith were the Prophets of the Sun, a mythic group of demigods foretold in ancient Thrysian holy texts.

Rasana’s uncle actually died in service to the Dark Lord Plagueis well before his niece was born, a death which was considered honorable and worthy. He was slain while defending Plagueis from an attack of Maladian assassins, and although he was overcome and killed by his enemies, the Sun Guard had managed to take down many of them and helped ensure Plagueis’ ultimate victory in that fight.

The service of the Sun Guards to the Sith Lords was further ensured when Plagueis’ apprentice, Darth Sidious, conquered and consolidated their torn forces in their home Thyrsus system, uniting them under himself. Rasana’s parents moved to Sidious’ secret stronghold on the Republic capital of Coruscant shortly after this, and had Rasana a few years before the Naboo crisis. They were once again called to major action for the Dark Lords as Sidious used the Sun Guards instrumentally in orchestrating the Naboo crisis, having both Rasana’s father and mother, along with other Sun Guards, assassinate reluctant businessmen and senators, allowing Palpatine an unimpeded rise to the position of Senator of Naboo.

Rasana was raised on Coruscant by the Sun Guards, taught their traditions and combat arts. She was indoctrinated from birth to obey, praise, and worship the mysterious “Dark Lord” who her people believed to be the Sun Prophet. Her father was a renowned fighter with a prestigious reputation among his fellow Sun Guards and even across the Galaxy, and during Sidious’ search for a good candidate to serve as the prime clone for the Grand Army of the Republic he was one of the Sun Guards considered, alongside many other warriors and bounty hunters. The Mandalorian Jango Fett was ultimately chosen, a fact which annoyed many of the Sun Guards as the Mandalorians were their long-time rivals.

During the Clone Wars, Palpatine made prolific secret usage of the Sun Guards as his enforcers and elite killers. Now a teenager, Rasana saw action during this time, alongside her parents and other Sun Guards. Despite her young age, she gained a reputation as a fierce fighter, even garnering some notice from Darth Sidious himself. During the intense combat of the Clone Wars, tragedy struck Rasana’s family. Her beloved father was killed during the mayhem of combat on the planet Brentaal IV. Although Rasana was on the planet at the time, she was cut off from him and unable to arrive in time, engaged in combat with Republic forces. Finally, after the smoke cleared and the battle finished, Rasana reached his position. Finding his lifeless body, Rasana cradled it in despair. She noticed that his wounds were the distinctive marks of a lightsaber, and Rasana realized a Jedi must have killed him.

Rasana and the rest of the Sun Guards continued to serve their Sith master faithfully throughout the rest of the Clone Wars. Towards the second half of the conflict, the Dark Lord ordered all of the surviving Guards to return to his hidden stronghold on Coruscant. Once there, the Sun Guards gathered together, expecting further instructions from their Master. Instead, they were met with betrayal. The Sith acolyte Asajj Ventress emerged from the darkness, igniting her lightsabers. Informing the assembled Sun Guards that their Master had tired of them and that their part in his plans had run its course, she told them he had no more use for them and that they must die. With these words, she threw herself onto the Sun Guards. A tremendous battle ensued, with Ventress cutting through rank after rank of the astounded Guards.

As the Guards reacted and retaliated, Rasana’s mother was among those who attacked the dark assassin, but she was no match. With an acrobatic twirl and a blinding flash of red blade, Ventress cut her down. The Thyrsian woman fell before her own daughter’s anguished eyes. Brandishing her double-bladed vibropike and clad in the dark armor of the Sun Guard, the newly-orphaned Rasana flung herself at the Sith acolyte in a ferocious onslaught. The two dueled for minutes, and while Asajj managed to cut down many other Sun Guards during the course of their force, she was almost evenly matched with the young Rasana. Almost. Finally deciding to put an end to their contest, Ventress lashed out with the Force and sent Rasana hurling into the wall of the fortress with enough force to shatter bones.

When Rasana awoke, she was in a dark chamber, strapped to a medical chair. A cloaked figure in the corner cackled, and Rasana began to struggle as medical droids creepily emerged from the shadows. The cloaked figure announced to Rasana that she had been spared due to her potential, and that if she proved her loyalty, she would be allowed to take her place in her Master’s continued plans. Realizing who the dark man was, Rasana froze in her restraints. The blood turned to ice in her veins, and the air seemed to catch sharply in her lungs. A great conflict arose in the young Thyrsian, and before she could gather the strength to reply, the cloaked figure stepped directly in front of her. Slowly, his hood drew back, and his eyes met hers. Staring into those eyes, Rasana felt a transformative power that would never leave her. The whole universe seemed to melt away in an inferno of power and terror. He held her soul in his gaze, like she was staring into the very birth and death of all of creation, like she could see the beginning and end of the Galaxy in his eyes. There was a dark intensity beyond anything words could describe in those eyes. They smoldered, they burned, they raged like ten million supernovas, like they contained the cosmic heat of every star in the Galaxy. She suddenly understood the religious beliefs of their people, why they worshipped the Sith like they had once worshipped the Sun. Here was a sun beyond any in any known solar system, raging with fires beyond anything that could exist in nature.

Mesmerized by the Dark Lord’s gaze, Rasana barely felt the latches holding to her chair release. Nevertheless, she rose from them, as if guided by some external force, and dropped to her knees before the Master of the Sith. Still locked on his terrible gaze, unable to look away, Rasana felt hot tears streakm down her charred and dirty face. All the pain, confusion, bitterness, and upset that the girl had ever felt in her whole life seemed to be summoned forth in one moment and then amplified a thousandfold. The pure emotional terror of that moment exceeded anything Rasana could comprehend: she saw every being she had slain, every one of her fallen comrades cut down in the line of fire. She saw her father’s charred and limp body lying in her arms on Brentaal IV, and her mother twisting unnaturally as the crimson blades of Asajj Ventress sliced through her flesh. For the first time in her life, Rasana quaked like a coward, her whole body trembling beneath the battered armor she wore. In that moment, Rasana knew true fear. That experience alone changed her whole life.

Finally, Sidious seemed to release her from his petrifying glare, and Rasana’s head dropped as she was suddenly overwhelmed by massive fatigue. Breathing raggedly, she managed to gasp out in a strained and quavering voice, “Yes. Yes, my Lord. I will serve you, to the end of time I will serve you.”

Thus began her career in the Red Guard. The next day Rasana was escorted to the training facility of Palpatine’s famed bodyguards. She was instructed that she would train here to learn the ways of the Guard, first and foremost among them being unquestioning obedience to Palpatine. Although the training regimen was brutal, Rasana quickly rose to the top of her class. Their intense and regular duels marked her as one of the most gifted fighters in the group, which included about forty trainees. During this period of training, potential Guards quickly fell off. The competition was ruthless and all the candidates were pushed to the maximum capacity at which they could perform. Finally, after six months, Rasana and her remaining candidates had reached the final test before graduation. There were only six of them left, but the trainers said that was a higher amount than normally survived the time at the academy. Two by two, they were called into a closed chamber where they were told they would face their final test.

Finally, Rasana was called into the chamber. The other Guard candidate who accompanied her was a man named Vinn Taimo. Rasana knew him; he had also been among the Sun Guards when Ventress had attacked, but she hadn’t seen him go down before she was knocked unconscious. She assumed his story must be similar to her own. When the pair entered the chamber, Rasana was horrified to find Palpatine waiting within, seated calmly on a metal chair. One of their instructors approached as they bowed to the Supreme Chancellor, and handed each one a force pike. His voice cold and stern, the man informed the two that they would fight each other to the death, and the victor would be honored as a member of Palpatine’s guard. As she heard this, Rasana dared not look up at the seemingly frail man sitting on the chair. She felt his fiery eyes burning through her flesh. Turning sharply to her former brother in arms with her weapon raised, Rasana did not hesitate in her task.

Now entitled Red Guard of the Chancellor, Rasana was adorned with new armor and weaponry, and given permanent residence in the training facility. The instructors informed her that Palpatine had been pleased by her display of skill, and that she would have a position as a trainer at the academy. For the next three months, that is how it went: Rasana taught new waves of Guard candidates the forms of combat that the Chancellor required them to be proficient in. However, her exceptional talent continued to distinguish her among the other instructors. Soon, she was told that Palpatine had further plans for her, and she was taken to an even more secure location. There was where her real training began. At that undisclosed location Rasana was told that her previous identity and life must totally cease to exist. She was to be one of Palpatine’s most elite guardians and fighters, a member of a new organization to be called the “Shadow Guards”. Her name would never be spoken again: she was only to be known by her military designation, TR-6283.

In this new role, TR-6283 began learning the ways of the Dark Side of the Force. She was taught to enhance her senses, speed, and strength, and to release the Force in kinetic or energetic waves. She began learning how to wield a lightsaber pike. But above all, TR-6283 learned how to abandon herself totally to Palpatine’s will. She learned to forget herself, to forget that she or any other life or being existed, to empty herself and become a simple instrument of the Dark Lord’s plans. She was the perfect servant, the perfect killer.

News of the outside world rarely entered into the walls of that hidden facility. They were completely isolated, their only focus being their mission to make themselves worthy of service to the Emperor. One day, however, one of the training droids announced that there was great news from the outside world. The Supreme Chancellor had been enthroned as Emperor, the droid said, after a violent betrayal by the Jedi Order. Remembering her hatred for the Jedi, TR-6283 burnt with satisfaction as the droid relayed information of how their Order had been crushed. TR-6283 believed that this must be the most glorious day in history, the day of her Master’s triumph. He would save the whole Galaxy now, and she would serve him faithfully.

The droid continued, with still more good news. Their training was complete, he announced. Their mission had begun. Emperor Palpatine would be deploying them throughout the Galaxy, for them to fulfill his will. TR-6283 hungered for this chance to prove herself to her Master.

•Lightsaber:

TR-6283, like every other member of her elite rank, can be identified by her usage of the rare lightsaber pike. The lightsaber pike resembles a primitive spear, with a single red blade emitted from one end. The long handle was made of the lightsaber-resistant material phrik, and the end that did not emit a blade was made heavier for balance, but also so that it could effectively be used as a blunt force weapon. Each Shadow Guard had to construct their own weapon as a final test of their ability during training. Though each of the complicated weapons was individually constructed and equally difficult to make, they were made according to standardized designs and had to match these designs exactly, with no deviation. Although Emperor Palpatine wanted to test his servants by making them complete this task, as building a working lightsaber is completely impossible for the vast majority of living beings, he did not want his Guards to have individualized weapons. They would be as similar as the cloaks and armor they wore, preserving anonymity. Thus each weapon had to match his strict regulations.

•Force Abilities: TR-6283 was one of the few members of the Sun Guard that had talent in the Force, but during her time as a member of the Sith cult her abilities were developed very marginally. She never really progressed past instinctual use of the Force as a kind of natural enhancement and guide during combat, and never deepened her understanding of it on a spiritual or intellectual level. However, when Darth Tyrannus’ Sith adept Asajj Ventress came to slaughter the members of the Sun Guard organization, it was this latent talent in the Force that allowed TR-6283 to live. Because of her exceptional skill, TR-6283 survived the attack by Ventress. Furthermore, because TR-6283 was unwavering in her faith to the Sith Lord her people had been serving for generations (despite the fact he had just ordered the slaughter of almost everyone she knew, including her own mother), Sidious chose TR-6283 to become one of his Red Guards. Quickly noted for her talent, Sidious decided to promote her to the level of a Shadow Guard. Now that her training expanded, TR-6283 began to truly delve into use of the Dark Side of the Force.

Progressing past her mere instinctual application of Force-enhanced natural fighting capabilities, TR-6283 learned how to intentionally harness the power of the Force for her combat. Though on a very rudimentary level, with perhaps the skill of a Jedi padawan, TR-6283 became capable of channeling the Dark Side to enhance her speed, strength, and reflexes. Besides this, she learned how to hone and expand her senses, so that she gained a supernatural awareness of her surroundings and of approaching danger.

But these powers are truly the least-developed in her Force arsenal. TR-6283 is an unskilled Force user, not having any kind of refinement to her techniques or deep philosophy guiding them. She simply lashes out, wreaking destruction in a blind and uncontrolled manner. Due to this, her true power is not enhanced skill, but chaotic might. The Emperor has taught his Shadow Guards how to release the Force as energy, striking with telekinetic blows or blasts of lightning. Though she has learned these powers, TR-6283 has no real understanding of them or the deeper mysteries of the Force that make them possible, and her application is limited by this. She can lash out almost randomly with these abilities, sequencing them into her combative maneuvers, but has little precision or sustainability. The Emperor does not need scholars among his Shadow Guard, and TR-6283 is nothing but what the Emperor wants her to be.

•Additional Equipment and Weaponry: All Royal Guards, including the Shadow Guard division, are well equipped. Although TR-6283’s primary weapon is the saberstaff, she retains the forcepike and vibroblades that she was originally issued as a Guard, although she doesn’t always have them on her person. Additionally, TR-6283 always carries a concealed heavy blaster pistol.

•Preferred Combat Style: Echani Martial Arts.
Being a member of the Thyrsian Sun Guard, TR-6283 has been trained since birth in the martial techniques of the Echani warriors. The Sun Guards are a warrior organization of the Thyrsian people, who are close cousins of the Echani and mirror their culture, albeit with a heavier emphasis on armored combat and close-quarters melee fighting. The Echani art of the Sun Guard is more than a set of combative techniques: it is a kinetic language. The art centers around learning how to intuitively read an opponent and know where they are going to strike before it connects, anticipate it, and then counterattack. Echani martial arts are said to be fought “several minutes in advance”, likened to the chess-like game of dejarik where both players must constantly be planning their moves all the way to the end of the match. The culture of the Echani teaches that the body is the only way to truly know someone, and that combat creates a pure and utterly truthful form of expression where words are swept away, allowing for action to truly reveal the nature of the people involved. Due to her natural connection with the Force, TR-6283 excelled at this combat during her time with the Sun Guards. Now that she has been trained in the Dark Side, her might increases once again, as she is able to let her unbridled emotions rip through her during the course of combat with no hesitation or inauthenticity. As the soon-to-be Emperor Palpatine created the Red Guard that would eventually become his Royal Guard, he ensured that all of its members were trained in the Echani arts by his Sun Guard disciples. After surviving the massacre of the Sun Guards by Asajj Ventress, TR-6283 became one of Palpatine’s trainers, teaching other Red Guards the ways of combat in Palpatine’s fortress on Coruscant.

The Echani training of the Sun Guards builds the user’s skill with a variety of common and unorthodox weapons, ranging from vibro-swords to superheated gauntlet plates, but the favored tool was the pike. This weapon was held in near-sacred reverence by the Sun Guard, and their deadly skill with it was famed across the Galaxy. It was his observation of the Sun Guard’s utilization of the pike that inspired Palpatine to have all of his Red Guards outfitted and trained with it as well. As she had been using it her entire life, TR-6283 was remarkable with the weapon even by the standards of the elite Guard. This was especially so because she had lifelong training in the Echani arts that the pike was best suited for, and an innate ability in the Echani kinetic language due to her Thyrsian biology.

OOC Note: The Echani are mostly inspired by the IRL martial arts disciplines of Kung Fu, particularly Wushu, Wing Chun, and Hung Gar forms. It is for this reason that I’ll be primarily modeling TR-6283’s spear combat off of Wushu Qiang spear combat. Here are a couple videos for reference for the style: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-HsxeMvVBms

•Secondary(Second favored, Optional) Combat Style: Umbaran Shadow Assassin Arts.
The arts of the Umbaran Shadow Assassins are a teaching of silence and stealth. The Shadow Assassins were able to hide their presence not only in the Force, but also from physical senses like sight or sound, completely dissolving from the perception of their enemies. TR-6283 is skilled in this practice, and can even apply it during the midst of a fight, using the techniques to disrupt her enemy’s ability to read and predict her move sequences.

•Gender: Male

•Race/Species: Human (Corellian)

•Age: 42

•Physical Appearance:

•Homeworld: Corellia

•Personality: After experiencing the loss of so many friends and allies with the purge, Voornan cut himself off from his emotions, bottling his rage and using it to fuel utter stoicism, tempering the swirl of violent emotions into a harmony of chaos, balanced around his new resolve.

•Biography: Born of Corellia, Voornan was taken through the process of becoming a Jedi as a youngling. He progressed quickly, giving himself to the force as much as was possible for a single lifeform to do so. He shut out most of the outside world, eventually becoming a Knight and taking on a Padawan, a Quarren named Thokko Pru. The two got on swimmingly, Voornan pouring his fascination and understanding with the force into his Padawan, eventually seeing them ascend to the rank of Knight and himself adopting he roll of Master. However, at the outbreak of the war, Voornan was deeply troubled by the involvement of the Jedi with conflict. Seeing darkness mounting, the rift between and the order grew until he eventually walked away, seeing it too great a task to maintain his convictions and stay with the council.

When Voornan felt the disturbance in the force once the Purge occurred, he felt the darkness too, closing in from all sides. Poison had spread through the force, and Voornan felt it was time to begin correcting that imbalance. What was once a tranquil pond emotionally became a howling hurricane, his psyche firmly rooted in the calm of the storm. And then, when he felt his old padawan's life cut short, Voornan decided the time for peace had been swept away by a river too great for him to stem. Taking his lightsaber, Voornan broke it, crushing it beyond use, and burring it deep, ever to be found. His time as a Jedi was over. The force needed new agents to herald it now.

•Character Full Name: Ovek'Ress'Tornavoth, "Kress"

•Gender: Male

•Race/Species: Chiss

•Age: 28

•Physical Appearance:

Kress is a massive Chiss, standing at 2.1 meters tall.

•Homeworld: Csilla

•Personality: Kress, first and foremost, is a representative of his species. He touts honor and strength as chief tenets of his personality, promoting dutiful obedience and rigid organization to complete a task. Among the Inquisitorius, he encourages bonds and camaraderie, to ensure that both they will fight more effectively, and their Dark Side powers would strengthen behind their attachment. Outwardly, he is almost the perfect soldier. However, behind the red eyes and immaculate posture of the Chiss lies something much darker. Kress is a hunter. He doesn't savor murder or bloodshed outright, but the kill is all the more satisfying when there is a chase before it. His stunning intelligence and precognition stacks the deck against his opponents, but he wants them to try all the same. The exertion, the accelerated heartbeat, and finally: the blood. Kress savors it all. Does this make him a psychopath? Potentially. He likes to think that he is more in tune with his primal side, that he has removed the inhibitions of society and structure, and all that is left is instinct.

•Biography: Ovek'Ress'Tornavoth was almost an immediate anomaly among his species. Born with the ability of Third Sight, which is a rare ability almost exclusively found in females of the Chiss, Kress was thought to be a prophesized scion among his species. Drafted as a navigator aboard Chiss' ships at an incredibly young age to sharpen his Sight, Kress was leading his ship through a previously uncharted hyperlane when a fragment of a planet's mass shadow caught their wingtip, sending the ship off course and disabling most of their systems. The Captain managed to hotwire a distress signal to any nearby relay stations before the lack of life support took him, most of the systems being diverted to Kress' quarters to allow the prodigal son to survive but another day.

It wasn't long before a Republic ship managed to find the destroyed vessel, and in it, Kress. Being identified as a Force-Sensitive, he was sent to the Jedi Temple to receive training. Under the tutelage of Siv Togertssin, a Human Jedi from a feral world, Kress received his training. Kress initially trained in Makashi, becoming incredibly proficient in the duelists approach to combat, before Siv identified him as having the brute strength and athleticism required to learn and master Djem So. And so, after passing his Knight Trials, Kress was knighted at the age of 20. Soon enough, the Clone Wars descended on the Galaxy. Kress and his master were attached to a unit of Clones inside the 21st Nova Corps, designated as a Special Operations unit. The clones undertook undercover and clandestine mission sets, often prioritizing hunting high value targets in theatres where regular clones or a standard operation could not breach. Here, Kress honed the skills of the hunt. This primal approach that Kress took to combat worried his master, who had shaken off the callings of his feral world. But where Siv had abandoned the gnashing of teeth and exhilirating thrill of a kill, Kress almost seemed to embrace it. In his own mind, this was simply his focus as a Jedi. To the Force, it was the first seeds of the Dark Side growing within him.

When Order 66 came down, Kress was far behind enemy lines with his unit and his master. The Special Operations clones that Kress was attached to received modified orders, different than the rest of the Grand Army, instructed to take their Jedi Generals prisoner rather than to execute them. In a desperate ploy, Siv defended against the clone troopers while he instructed Kress to flee. Following orders, Kress proceeded to outmaneuver and outpace his clone pursuers for nearly two weeks. However, one day, sitting in a cave high among the Mygeetan mountains, freezing to death and starving, Kress made a life-altering decision. The Dark Side called out to him to become the hunter, not the prey. It did not give him specific instructions, but Kress knew what he had to do. Willingly walking into an ambush set by his captors, Kress spent the next several months in an Inquisitorius torture/training center before finally being deployed to investigate a developing situation on Ilum.

•Lightsaber:

Kress' lightsaber is actually a lightclub, allowing him a wider range of reach and striking distance, but requiring he wield it two-handed.

•Force Abilities:
Control

• Control Pain: Kress primarily uses this when he has wreathed his body in lightning, to only allow the sharpest edge of pain to drive his Dark Side abilities.

Sense

• Battle Precognition: Known among the Chiss as Third Sight, Kress' precognition allows him to see certain events before they happen, enabling him to hunt and kill better.

Alter

• Force Lightning: Chief among Kress' powers are his Force Lightning. He uses this both as a projectile against his enemies, and wreaths himself in it to both enhance his strikes and inflict pain against those who would hurt him.
• Deadly Sight: A rare ability, but Kress' hateful glare can be so powerful it can begin to disintegrate and burn opponents.
• Force Fear: A hunter of weak and frail beings, Kress uses Force Fear to instill terror in his opponents. They will be afraid of him, they will run, and Kress will savor it.

General

• Force Speed
• Force Sense
• Mind Trick
• Telekinesis

•Preferred Saber Style: Form II, Makashi. Kress utilizes a modified variant of Makashi that is based on classical two-handed techniques developed before the age of lightsabers.

•Secondary(Second favored, Optional) Saber Style: Form V, Djem So.

•Location (Prior to Protocol 66): With his clones on Mygeeto.

•Character Full Name: Aresh Kairn (Air-ash Kay-ern) (he rarely if ever uses his family name)

•Gender: male

•Race/Species: Human/Corellian

•Age: 24

•Physical Appearance: He can't sit still, even when not moving per say he is snapping his fingers, or tapping his feet and talks non-stop Helmet when necessary

•Homeworld: Corellia

•Personality: He is a nervous and upon first appearances squeamish individual. In reality he is ruthless and surprisingly cunning and cares for little else than credits though he does hold a certain amount of loyalty for those he partners with.

•Biography:

Aresh was born and raised the fifth son of a rather wealthy family on Corellia. As a child he was overlooked and ignored by his parents for his older siblings, something that steadily wore on young Aresh leading him to act out taking part in minor crimes for attention. Getting in severe trouble for helping his so called friends to steal from a local store. While his poorer friends did it to survive, Aresh was in it for the thrill and attention from the group. Following this, and spending some time in a juvenile detention center, Aresh seemed to clean up his act going so far as to apply to the Judicial Academy. The truth was that he had simply grown more cunning and skilled at hiding his misdeeds.

In the years spent first at the academy then among the Judicials, Aresh enjoyed a bit of a reputation for having consistently higher than average scores and later higher than average results of his investigations despite not having any sort of abnormally high amounts of success. He walked a seemingly fine line of gaining praise for his work, while never truly gaining too much attention. Something that Aresh needed for his actual work. Under the noses of his colleagues Aresh had begun to delve deeper and deeper into corruption and crime. He came to work closely with other corrupt officers steadily raking in larger and larger sums of money that he had to work to keep hidden.

This would go badly for Aresh shortly before the start of the clone wars as the ring of smugglers and slavers he had become a part of was dismantled as a fellow corrupt Judicial began naming names to lessen his sentence. Aresh once again found himself in a detention center, this time as an adult, and this time cut off and disowned by his family. Aresh soon grew to particularly dislike his parents and siblings as they had enjoyed much of his ill-gotten money, but now cast him aside to save face among their social circle. While Aresh's crimes had been serious, his involvement in what had finally gotten him arrested had only begun so his time spent in detention was rather short compared to the rest of those involved. Once out though Aresh found himself having to start over nearly from scratch.

Proving his talent at making something out of nothing, Aresh quickly found himself once again working with the criminal underworld of the Galaxy. An underworld that seemed to be only growing with the increasing tension among the Republic and Separatists. Developing his own growing ring of contacts and jobs when the war did eventually break out, Aresh found plenty of work, whether smuggling arms from planet to planet. Conning officials on either side to his own benefit, or even working for pirates and slavers across the outer rim Aresh soon established his own minor syndicate of mercenaries and smugglers. Getting work, particularly from the Hutts the syndicate, named for his family, to rub their name in the mud, became one of the go-to organizations for Hutt's needing outside work.

For a time everything was great. Aresh was gaining contacts and cash quickly and easily in the chaos created by the clone wars, sadly however while most either felt the need to use his organization to gain an advantage over the other side, others like the jedi wanted the organization gone. Roughly a year before the end of the war Aresh was arrested for assaulting another man at a bar and very nearly killing him. While the man was a known slaver, one Aresh was working with before they both ended up double-crossing one another losing their 'cargo' nothing beyond the assault could be proven. While in detention for the third time Aresh's growing organization came a part at the seems and by the time he was released a great amount of his property and funds were simply gone. Thankfully Aresh kept enough to start over once again hidden away and once again was forced to start from scratch.

Now having been simply running smuggling runs the last few months of the war and afterward Aresh once again sees opportunities to grow his business plans.

•Character Full Name: The Fifth Brother, Dan Brovil

•Gender: Male

•Race/Species: Human

•Age: 24

•Physical Appearance:

Dan stands 6 feet and 2 inches tall.

•Homeworld: Allst Prime

•Personality: The Fifth Brother has been molded by his experiences in the Clone Wars, and the circumstances of his Jedi training. The Dan of today is a dour, withdrawn man, quite different from how he was as a Padawan. He is plagued by a constant sense of uncomfortableness, of being a round peg forced into a square hole. Dan’s insecurities are born from a near-constant self-perspective, attempting to recognize his flaws and overcome them, but now seeing only flaws in every aspect of himself. What has survived through both his training and the war is his sense of empathy. Whether applied to friends or enemies, the ability to understand the nature of other beings is of paramount importance to a Jedi.

Beneath the sadness, the insecurity, and the empathy, Dan has a more strategic mind than one might initially believe. Much like his unrealized potential for Battle Meditation, he has not yet honed this talent, and likely wouldn’t believe that he was any good at it in the first place, regardless of evidence. As an Inquisitor, Dan has grown as a person, somewhat. Dark-sided though he may be, the Fifth Brother indulges little in the psychotic violence many of his siblings revel in. His connection to the Dark Side manifests more as a sense of impassioned duty and pragmatic ruthlessness, forever planning into the long term. His ability to carry out those plans is somewhat questionable. The Fifth Brother's most notable trait is his sheer tenacity, the resolve to never give up, no matter how much suffering he has to bear.

•Biography: Before he saw the Clone Wars, before he even knew of the Jedi, Dan was a child on the outer rim planet of Allst Prime. His homeworld was far out of the way of the rest of the galaxy- most spacers would know little more than its name, and the denizens of Allst Prime were more than happy to keep it that way. As much as Dan might have wished that he could’ve been normal, he wasn’t. He was touched by the Force, and it was only Allst Prime’s location that prevented the Jedi Order from taking him in sooner.

The Jedi may have been out of reach, but the Jedi were hardly the only force-using order in the Galaxy. A shamanistic religion known as the Jarvashqiine had a presence in the sector, though its followers rarely visited Allst Prime itself. The Jarvashqiine were users of elaborate blood rituals, believing them to be the source of their mystical powers. For them, the blood of a force-sensitive child was a powerful, precious thing indeed. As though it called to them, they flew to Allst Prime and wrenched Dan from the comfort of his home.

Dan’s captivity lasted for only four days, but they were the longest days of his life. The first he spent locked in a dark stone room, without food, water, or even light by which to see. The second, he was given food, but only after the Jarvashqiine began their bloodletting practice. The third, he spent in fear as he heard his captors arguing and shouting amongst each other outside. Some of them had believed that keeping a child prisoner was inhumane. Their sudden morality did little to ease Dan, because the proposed solution was to kill him and let all his blood run. The fourth day, he expected to die, but found himself saved.

The Jedi, as it turned out, had a single ship operating in the Allst system. And the Force had willed it that Dan would not meet his end. His savior was a Cathar Jedi Knight, clutching a sky blue lightsaber and reaching a hand toward him. The image would stay with him forever, seeing her framed by the first daylight he’d seen since being taken, smiling softly and offering to take him away from the suffering. He thought he might’ve been seeing an angel.

The Jedi carried him back to his home, and introduced herself as Nuvani Khir. She had an offer- Dan could come to Coruscant, be trained as a Jedi, to master his abilities and more importantly, be kept safe. Dan’s parents agreed, but only on the condition that he’d get a month to recover from the trauma he’d suffered. Nuvani stayed on Allst Prime through the whole process- if Dan was to be a Jedi, he’d need to get comfortable being around Jedi.

As Dan was brought to the Jedi Temple, naturally, objections were raised that he, at 11, was too old to begin the training. Nuvani fought against the council’s decision, continuing to debate until they grew too tired to argue, and reluctantly accepted Dan into training. Dan’s Initiate phase was… rough. He was years older than most of his co-students, and some masters were less approving of him than others. After five years of training and a fateful graduation duel, Nuvani claimed Dan as her Padawan learner.

The 8 years that followed were the greatest time of Dan’s life. At Master Khir’s side, he journeyed throughout the Galaxy, the two of them bringing hope and peace wherever they could. A mission to the planet Mimban was the most fateful. Mimban was a crucial source of force-attuned lightsaber crystals, but the planet was suffering from a massive influx of crime, taking advantage of its remote location and abundant resources. Master Khir and Padawan Brovil were tasked with restoring the planet to its rightful state.

What was expected to be a three-month mission at most expanded into two years, as the two Jedi found it impossible to leave the mud world behind unless it was in the best possible state. As this long stretch of time progressed, feelings between master and apprentice began to change, and to intensify. Away from the Jedi Temple, the Code by which they lived seemed less and less relevant. Dan and Nuvani broke it together, in secret, on Mimban. It was the start of something.

A further three years passed in Dan’s padawan life, though he was nearly an equal with his master in most regards at that point. It was only when the Battle of Geonosis began that the two flew back to Coruscant so that Dan could be officially knighted. His knighting ceremony occurred while the Battle of Geonosis still raged on. Notably, the cutting of his padawan braid was performed by the Council member Oppo Rancisis, due to Grandmaster Yoda’s absence.

Dan had little time to enjoy his promotion, as he and Nuvani- now equals in the Order- were each assigned a unit of Clone Troopers and set off into the Clone Wars. Dan’s unit, the 411th Expeditionary Force, spent the early days of the war bouncing from conflict to conflict in the Outer Rim, before becoming embroiled in a gruelling guerrilla campaign on Allst Prime, Dan’s homeworld. The planet had fallen under the control of Separatist Insurgents, aiming to eventually allow the CIS to use the mineral-rich asteroids in the Allst system as material for an orbital ship factory. The 411th spent the remainder of the war retaking Allst Prime, meter by meter, until it finally belonged to the Republic once more. There was little time to celebrate victory, as a strange order from the Chancellor was being transmitted.

Following the commencing of Order 66, Dan fled to Odessen and joined up with the other Jedi survivors. As though it were a repeat of his Initiate training, Dan found himself feeling out of place among their number. Warriors, scholars, survivors- and him, the one who just got lucky. He was stranded in an unfamiliar sea, and it was only when he wandered away from the temple that he found calm waters, and a measure of peace. As his beloved master met her end, Dan felt it through their Force Bond, and the feeling pushed him into the start of a slow downward spiral. It set him toward the Dark Side, and without the anchoring presence of the other Jedi, without any kind of bond to any of them, Dan began to fall. As the Empire struck at Odessen, Dan was reunited with his former Clone Commander, Brutus. The reunion was not a happy one. The Clone had been molded into a Purge Trooper, and the two clashed in a violent battle. Dan's fall became complete when he tapped into a Dark Side rage and brutally defeated Brutus. He was captured by the 411th Purge Trooper Regiment, too exhausted from the fight to resist. Or, perhaps, he didn't even want to resist.

Dan was sent to Nur, and was left to suffer at the hands of the Inquisitors. Many of their members tortured him, but it was the insane Third Sister that succeeded in breaking him.

•Lightsaber:

Much like his original Jedi saber, the Fifth Brother's weapon features a greatly extended hilt for ease of handling. Rather than a hinged handle like his previous saberstaff, this one can be detached at the middle to be stored in two separate pieces. As with all Inquisitor lightsabers, the Fifth Brother's has blood-red blades.
Sound

•Force Abilities:

Control abilities

"First, know yourself. Look at all of your strengths, find the source of them. Look at your flaws, even the uncomfortable ones, and overcome them. Once you know yourself, you know how to succeed in anything you put your mind to." -Master Nuvani Khir

Dan's former master noted him to be most proficient with Control abilities, indicating a propensity for self-reflection. While incredibly useful for meditation, difficult choices, and the ability to trust his own instincts, it could also cause his perception of outside factors to become clouded. This was a reoccurring theme of his training. Like all Jedi, Dan practiced the art of Altus sopor, a technique allowing him to increase his focus on the force, deepening his connection to it. During the turmoil of the Clone War, this ability has not been used as often as it should. He is versed in Tutaminis, the ability to absorb harmful energy. His master was greatly talented in this field, able to apply a plasma torch to her own skin without taking harm. Dan has yet to replicate this feat. Dan has a natural aptitude for Curato salva, self-healing techniques allowing one to flush hazardous substances from their body, among other things. Dan is quite skilled in this, 'practicing' by downing a good amount of Rodian Ale and using curato salva to instantly sober himself up again. He has also used it to dull his own sensation of pain while remaining aware of injuries. In addition to this, Dan has practiced Force Resistance, allowing him to make his body and mind more resistant to hostile Force powers. Originally, this was practiced under Master Khir's tutelage as a means of fully controlling negative emotions such as Fear. His favored force techniques in combat are the self-boosting abilities of Force Jump and Force Speed. Combined together, these powers can make him a blur of lightsaber energy, compensating for his lacking Alter abilities.

As an Inquisitor, The Fifth Brother's Control abilities have grown in strength. He moves smoothly with unnatural speed and power, batting aside Force attacks with ease. He retains his prowess with Curato Salva, using it to restore himself to fighting shape after the conclusion of a mission.

Sense Abilities

"Intelligence is what wins a fight- if you know what you're facing, you know where to hit 'em. That's one of the few strengths Jedi have as commanders." -CC-6264 'Brutus'

As with most Jedi Knights, Dan is capable of using the basic Sense abilities of Life Detection and Sense Force. He has some talent with Sense Magnification, allowing him to improve his hearing, sight, smell, touch, or taste to superhuman levels. Dan has keenly developed precognitive abilities, honed during the battles of the Clone Wars. He has some moderate talent in Force Empathy, though he has occasionally misunderstood the true nature of another's emotions.

Dan's Force Empathy continues to grow in strength- and, as Dark Side users do, he uses it in the most insidious manner possible, sensing fragility and weaknesses in his enemies, weaknesses that he might exploit.

Alter abilities

"You don't have to take out an entire army with one blow. Instead, you find the leaders and defeat each of them, one by one, and the enemy will lose the will to fight. That's how we win." -Dan Brovil

Dan's weak side. He expresses little beyond basic Telekinesis. While his precision is lacking, his strength with Telekinesis is enough that he can throw or crush Super Battle Droids without notable strain. His Telekinesis is best used against single targets, as he never quite figured out wide-reaching techniques such as Force Wave or Force Repulse. Master Khir believed that Dan had the potential to make use of the Battle Meditation ability, if he were able to hone his talents with it. Dan has not honed his talents, and the benefits he can grant from Battle Meditation are minimal, if even present.

Dan has slowly begun to manifest Battle Meditation legitimately, though the effects are weak. He continues to command clone soldiers as he did in the Clone Wars, and with this new ability growing, his skill can only grow.

•Preferred Saber Style:
-Form IV: Ataru
The Aggression form. This form is fast-paced and makes use of highly acrobatic moves. Ataru's core mechanic is the Su Ma, the three axes of motion within 3-d space- Jung Su Ma, spinning movements; Ton Su Ma, somersaults and backflips; and En Su Ma, cartwheeling motions. The blindingly fast attacks of Ataru make it dangerous against single opponents, lightsaber-wielding or otherwise. Defensive techniques put less emphasis on blocking and more on absorbing and moving with an incoming attack. Applied to a double-bladed lightsaber, the dynamic spins and flips mesh well with the flourishes required to maneuver such a weapon, and the addition of a second blade allows the user to somewhat mitigate Ataru's weakness against multiple enemies.

Ataru was originally Dan’s secondary form, taught to him by Master Khir primarily as a means of physical conditioning. Following the extermination of the Jedi order, Dan trained with the Wookiee Master Nardrashtasch on Odessen, and Ataru grew to become his primary focus. Through constant agility and endurance training, Dan is able to perform the fourth form’s elaborate movements with ease, almost constantly in motion while fighting. As an Inquisitor, he has continued to practice Ataru intensely, using its rapid-fire offense to devastate the defenses of Jedi and beat them down into submission before they can fight back.

•Secondary(Second favored, Optional) Saber Style:
-Form I: Shii-Cho
The Determination form. This is the first form taught to all Jedi, and contains much of the attacks, parries, and body zones used in archaic sword techniques. Shii-Cho encourages deliberate tactics, advancing forward steadily while cutting off the opponent's angles. Shii-Cho's wide, sweeping movements make it well suited to fighting multiple enemies. These movements carry over well to the double-bladed lightsaber, allowing the wielder to take advantage of the weapon's second blade to control additional space and attack from unusual angles.

Shii-Cho was Dan’s main form for much of his life- even after becoming a Padawan, the simplicity and tradition associated with Form I had a certain appeal to him. It was a simple style, but simplicity was its strength. The Shii-Cho velocities have become almost instinct for him, for both saber duelling and blast deflection. Shii-Cho is surprisingly popular among the ranks of the Inquisitorius, and Dan continues to make use of it.

•Personality: Not much is known about Bimi as she mostly keeps to herself and barely talks to other agents in the field. According to some agents that worked with her, they say she is very intelligent, determined, is mostly quiet unless spoken to, and is known to be a hard-working agent once she receives an assignment.

•Biography: Not much is known about the mysterious Chiss’s early life, only that she came to Coruscant one day and joined Republic Intelligences. When she did join, she mostly kept to herself only talking to other agents if it was deemed necessary for her to do so or when she had to work with them. During her time at Republic Intelligences, Bimi would undergo special training in both sharpshooting and close quarters combat in which she would both excel at. Bimi's superiors were impressed with her skills in training and soon enough she was sent off Coruscant and was deployed on serval missions, mostly getting intel on Separatist movement and sometimes go on assassination missions against high value Separatist admirals and generals throughout the Clone Wars. With each mission Bimi went on, she always made sure the mission was done correctly and made sure it was a success. However, one notable mission she would go on would change everything.

Republic Intelligences had intel that a high value Separatist target was last seen heading to Dantooine, preparing to launch a surprise attack against a Republic Outpost there. Bimi and a human agent named Bryaken Nesstro was assigned to take out the Separatist general and sabotage the main attacking force. Tagging along with the two agents would be a squad of demolition clones that would help them sabotage the attack force. When they arrived on Dantooine, night had already fallen on the planet and Bimi knew they could use the lush jungles of the planet to sneak towards the Separatist base under the cover of darkness. Once they reached the base, both Bimi and Bryaken spilt off from the demolition clones to let them plant the charges on Separatist tanks, ships, and gunships while they went to go hunt for the high value Separatist target. At first everything was smooth, but as soon as Bimi reached the high value target's office the room was empty and before she could even react. A thermal detonator was thrown into the room by Bryaken, which exploded inside the office sending the young Chiss agent flying across the room with the blast causing major injuries to her face.

After Bryaken left, Bimi was able to use her remaining strength to stand up and walk out of the office while also trying to contact the demolition clones, but she got no response and by the time she had went outside. The main Separatist attack force had already begun their attack on the Republic outpost, while Bimi walked around the deserted Separatist base she saw the bodies of the dead demolition clones. The mission was a failure and Republic Intelligences weren't happy with the young agent for failing the mission and letting Bryaken escape. Bimi was soon sent to a medical facility to recover from her injuries and while she was recovering, she couldn't feel anything but anger towards Bryaken and vowed that she would hunt him down and eliminate him. Once she recovered from her injuries, Republic Intelligences would send her on another mission and that mission was to hunt down and eliminate Bryaken for treason against the Republic. Bimi was eager to go on this mission and soon started to hunt down her fellow agent.

After months of tracking Bryaken, Bimi had finally found him hiding on a swamp planet in the Outer Rim and killed him finally getting her revenge for what he did to her on the mission on Dantooine. Once the mission was complete, Bimi returned to Coruscant waiting for new orders to come from high command.

This subtle, understated personality is entirely reflective of her fall to the Dark. Not a great rage fuelled by some tragedy, but a slow and creeping thing that took her over bit by bit.

•Biography: Aragwen Clyfsin was born on the agricultural world Fallowan, during what most considered to be the height of the Jedi Order. As such, she was removed from her family at infancy and raised in the Jedi Temple on Coruscant. Aragwen grew up amongst her fellow initiates, and grew up faster than many of them. Noted by many masters was her passivity, considered by many to be an excellent attitude for a Jedi to have. For Initiate Clyfsin to even raise her voice above a near-whisper was a rarity. Her every movement was gentle, cautious to avoid hurting any other being with her natural strength.

Aragwen passed her trials without incident, and was claimed as an apprentice by the small but venerable Master Yakshan Vaidira. Despite being seemingly polar opposites, the pair worked well together. Master Vaidira, despite his diminutive stature, was one of the best lightsaber duelists the temple had to offer. Many described him as a whirling blur of lightsaber energy in combat, second only to Yoda in speed. His padawan, on the other hand, was a shy, gentle being despite her height. Vaidira believed that her potential would be best realized as a Jedi Brute- a peacekeeper to stand guard over the temple, using her size and strength to prevent conflict rather than seeking it. It was not, he stressed, a very glamorous job- but it was one that would always need to be done. Aragwen didn’t offer any argument.

With this career path in mind, nearly all of her training was performed in and around the temple. Worlds beyond Coruscant or even beyond the Jedi Temple were scarcely a concern. This all changed following the outbreak of the Clone Wars. Padawan Clyfsin and Master Vaidira were put on Outer Rim detail, moving about from planet to planet for most of the war. Aragwen had previously not concerned herself with thoughts about other worlds, but seeing so many of them for herself shook her to her core.

There were so many worlds out in the galaxy, more than she could have imagined in her days at the Jedi Temple. At times, her only regret was that she wouldn’t have enough time in her lifespan to see all of them. At other times, she only wished to return to the serenity of the Temple. The worlds of the galaxy were beautiful, but there was also suffering, struggle, and ultimately death. Master Vaidira told her that all creatures became one with the Force upon death, but Aragwen remembered learning that the Force was life- why would it cause some to be taken before they could truly experience life?

Such ruminations began to taint the padawan’s former innocence. She was torn between an idealistic love for the galaxy’s beauty, and an existential fear of its ugliness. Compounding her problem was her attuned Force Senses, constantly feeling the ugly, intruding thoughts of those around. One of her many lessons during the war was learning from Master Vaidira how she might close her mind off to intrusions, to try and amend the issue.

When Order 66 came down, Vaidira and Aragwen made a break for it. They made their way to the ancient, long-abandoned Jedi Academy on Telos IV. Tailed by the newly-born Empire, the two Jedi made their final stand in the planet’s snowy peaks. Master Vaidira, never losing faith in his apprentice, made a last stand against the pursuing forces so that she might live.

Aragwen was sealed in the Telos academy, behind doors that could only be opened by the Force. Finally cut off from all the rest of the galaxy, as she had once wished. But the Telos Academy was not as safe as Master Vaidira had believed. A truly vast collection of Sith artifacts had been kept here years ago, and evil things had been done in its halls. The shadow of the Dark Side remained. But Aragwen had learned to block outside influences. Surely she would endure.

Two and a half months later, the door to the Telos Academy was broken open by an agent of the Inquisitorius. Aragwen was found inside, alive and corrupted by the Dark Side, but barely responsive as she was escorted out. Isolation had left her voice and mind weakened and moldable, and it did not take long for the Fourth Sister to be completely inducted into the Inquisitorius.

•Lightsaber:

The Fourth Sister’s saber is a Greatsaber, or Lightclub to some. It has an oversized hilt, and produces a longer, thicker blade than most lightsabers. This is the same lightsaber that she constructed and used as a Jedi. The weapon once had a yellow blade, but following the Fourth Sister’s induction into the Inquisitorius, her previous crystal has been swapped out for a synthetic red one.

•Force Abilities:
Control abilities

“Through the Force, all limits are broken. A tiny being can gain become as strong as a mountain, and a giant can move with as swift as the wind.” -Master Yakshan Vaidira

The Fourth Sister received extensive physical training, both as a Jedi and an Inquisitor. To enhance this even further, she practices the Enhance Attribute ability to boost her strength, speed, and endurance from merely above average to superhuman levels. As both of her preferred lightsaber forms emphasize agility and precision over raw power, the Fourth Sister makes use of both Force Jump and Force Speed. During her early Jedi training, as all Jedi do, she was trained in the arts of Altus Sopor, a meditative technique that allows one to deepen their connection to the Force, and Curato Salva, a healing trance allowing one to recover from injury at an increased rate. Her most notable Control ability is her Thought Shield technique, allowing her to block out the intrusive thoughts of others.

Sense Abilities

“S-she’s in my head… I can’t get her out… make her stop! Make her leave!” - CT-1989, clone deployed to the Telos Academy raid

The Fourth Sister’s greatest strength in the Force are her Sense abilities. First to note is her strength in Force Empathy, enough so that she frequently picked up on other’s emotions even without intending to. With practice, she is able to use this ability to discern even motivations or hidden secrets. For more general purposes, she practices both Life Detection and Magnify Senses, leading some to claim that, when the Fourth Sister is aboard a Venator, nothing can happen on the ship without her knowing. The Fourth Sister, when in combat, makes use of both Precognition and Shatterpoint. Due to her innate gift of Technometry, she is naturally knowledgeable on the construction and maintenance of lightsabers and other technology.

Alter Abilities

“I will bend the universe to my design, with my own power and no one else’s.” -The Fourth Sister

In Alter abilities, the Fourth Sister’s most extensively used power is Affect Mind. She is able to apply Force Persuade, Dominate Mind, and Force Horror with great effectiveness. However, aside from the standard Telekinesis, she has little else of note.

•Preferred Saber Style:
-Form V: Shien
The Perseverance Form. Whereas other styles of lightsaber combat rely on precognition or agility, the Shien variant of Form V relies on power tempered by cunning. Those who use this form are often strong, but quick wits are the mark of a true master of the style. Shien depends on striking an opponent where they least expect it- the blow can be powerful, but it must be unexpected. Shien is most known for its emphasis on using an opponent’s attacks against them, most notably expressed through its heavy emphasis on blaster reflection. When under attack, the user effectively becomes even more deadly. When engaged in a melee duel, Shien teaches to riposte and then punish the opponent’s defense with powerful, but controlled blows. The Lightclub is a perfect fit for Form V, especially the power strikes that characterize the form. The increased blade size provides more surface area for reflection and parries, and the greater length of the sword lets the wielder control spacing and distance.

The Fourth Sister began studying Shien as a Jedi. The fifth form of lightsaber combat was a perfect fit for one of her stature. Master Vaidira directed her to focus on the more classical Shien variant, in order to practice control and discipline, and to avoid falling to the dark side through the aggressive strength of Djem So. When she found success in her initial training, her master recommended making it her primary focus, a recommendation which she chose to follow.

•Secondary(Second favored, Optional) Saber Style:
-Form IV: Ataru
The Aggression form. This form is fast-paced and makes use of highly acrobatic moves. Ataru's core mechanic is the Su Ma, the three axes of motion within 3-d space- Jung Su Ma, spinning movements; Ton Su Ma, somersaults and backflips; and En Su Ma, cartwheeling motions. The blindingly fast attacks of Ataru make it dangerous against single opponents, lightsaber-wielding or otherwise. Defensive techniques put less emphasis on blocking and more on absorbing and moving with an incoming attack. When wielding a Lightclub, Ataru practitioners may use the increased mass of the weapon as leverage to launch themselves into acrobatics. Use of momentum to add power is encouraged- rather than simply using their muscle mass to strike harder, an Ataru specialist with a Lightclub would use their spinning motions to effectively ‘whip’ the weapon about, striking with much greater power than one might expect, while using the extended reach of the weapon to better avoid retaliation.

The Fourth Sister initially studied Ataru as her primary form, under the tutelage of Master Vaidira. While unorthodox for one of her size, she was able to grasp the basic principles of the form and its associated acrobatics well before choosing to focus on Shieni. She makes extensive use of Ataru’s incorporation of hand-to-hand techniques while fighting, utilizing kicks, elbows, shoulder charges, and grappling to subdue her opponents.

[Castriarta]

•Character Full Name: Talre Falas

•Gender: Female

•Race/Species: Human

•Age: 26

•Physical Appearance:

Talre was selected as a Handmaiden partially because of her similarity to Padme Amidala. She is the same height as Senator Amidala, standing at 5’3” or 1.6 meters, and has thick, soft brown hair and brown eyes

Talre can often be seen wearing elegant and stylish clothes, reflecting her refined taste due to being raised in a royal court and her deep sensitivity to beauty that is partially influenced by her time in the natural landscapes of her homeworld.

•Homeworld: Naboo

•Personality: Talre is an honest and direct person. Integrity is at the heart of her values. Emotional manipulation, mind games, and reassuring lies all run counter to her preference to manage the reality of the situations she encounters with plain and simple honesty. This was valuable for Padme Amidala during the two’s friendship, when Talre’s ability to see situations clearly, simply, and honestly helped Padme to navigate her complex life. However, Tarle’s simple honesty led some to believe she was a bit naive and prone to oversimplifications of much more difficult issues. In Talre’s mind, the best solution is always a direct one, and she has little skill for the trickery and nuance of the Galaxy’s politics. Above all, Talre could be described as strong-willed and dutiful. She embodies integrity in her actions too, not just her words and worldview, and has a reputation among those who know her for her ability to work hard and stay focused on goals. She was a patient and determined friend and servant to Padme, and always met all of her obligations, period. She will endure through anything to do what she believes is right and fulfill what she believes are her duties. Sometimes this extends into a bit of pridefulness, as she believes her duties are overly important. She can be a somewhat no-nonsense person, and when she has made a decision or been given an order, she will relay the facts necessary to achieve her goal and expect others to grasp the situation immediately and take action. Talre does not have very much tolerance for indecisiveness, but loses patience even more quickly if her chosen course of action is challenged with impractical theories. This extends into her personality trait of being very responsible. Talre’s word is a promise, and a promise means everything to her. Talre would rather run herself into the ground with extra days and lost work than fail to deliver the results she said she would. Loyalty is a strong sentiment for Talre, most likely due to her upbringing on a monarchistic world and her training as a Handmaiden, and she fulfills her duties to the people and organizations she has committed herself to. As a servant to the Queen and then Senator, Talre learned that when she says she is going to get something done, she must do it, meeting her obligations no matter the personal cost, and she is baffled by people who don’t hold their word in the same respect. Combining laziness and disrespect is the quickest way to get on Talre’s bad side. Consequently, she often prefers to work alone, or at least have her authority clearly established by hierarchy, where she can set and achieve her goals without debate or worry over other’s reliability. Talre learned during the harsh training provided by Captain Panaka that the primary goal of a Handmaiden is to be effective in whatever they have been ordered to do. Unclear guidelines and people who break established rules undermine this goal, and are hard for Talre to tolerate. Structure and rules foster dependability; chaos creates unforeseen setbacks and missed deadlines.

•Biography: Talre was born to a loving, wealthy family in Naboo's capital of Theed who instilled in her the high virtues of dedication and self-sacrifice. She was enrolled in the best schools on the planet, and enjoyed retreats to the beautiful countryside. In her youth, Talre was heavily involved in the Naboo government’s wildlife care and protection services, working in the planet’s volunteer corps that oversaw rehabilitation and restoration of natural habitats. Talre excelled in her academic pursuits, and was quickly noticed by the higher institutions of Naboo. Due to this, she was selected to join the Apprentice Legislature and was elected as an Apprentice Legislator. It was here that she met the young Padme Amidala, a bright, compassionate, and courageous girl that Talre immediately began to admire and look up to. Padme quickly became an extremely popular political leader, rising to the rank of Princess of Theed when she was still only thirteen. Talre was twelve at the time, and although her interests tended to lead her out of the public eye, she was active in organizing youth support for Padme’s political movement opposing the rule of the current king.

Soon Padme was elected Queen of Naboo at 14 years old. When Captain Panaka of the Royal Naboo Security Forces was handpicking applicants to serve as handmaidens for the Queen, Talre was chosen. Along with a small group of other girls, Talre was trained in marksmanship and hand to hand combat by Captain Panaka, as well as other skills needed to fill the role of the Queen’s attendant and bodyguard. During the invasion of Naboo, Talre participated in the battle, fighting alongside the other handmaidens and members of the Royal Naboo Security Forces against the overwhelming droid forces of the Trade Federation.

Talre continued to serve as Padme’s handmaiden in the years preceding and during the Clone Wars, going with the Senator on many diplomatic and even espionage missions throughout the course of the conflict. Along with the other handmaidens, Talre was one of the only individuals in the Galaxy who had knowledge of Padme’s secret marriage to Jedi hero Anakin Skywalker and of the pair’s child. At the end of the war, following the destruction of the Jedi Temple and the declaration of the Empire, Talre was distraught alongside her fellow handmaidens and their mistress. This distress would only increase following Padme’s mysterious death. After returning to Naboo to mourn the death of her mistress alongside the rest of the planet, Talre swore to bring honor to Padme’s legacy, as well as to discover the cause of her death.
