At the Eleventh Hour - The End of Everything


The Story

It is several years after the Sith Lords have been defeated by the Exile (see KotOR II). Things are relatively quiet in the galaxy. The Republic struggles on and the Sith are clinging onto their small bit of territory. The Exile disappeared, leaving the rebuilding of the Jedi Order on Telos to others, one Jedi in particular stands out among the rest, but they are still few in number. There is an Order of the Ashen in the Outer Rim, led by an enigmatic couple who left the Jedi almost ten years ago.

There are occasional engagements between the Sith Empire and the Republic at the fringes of their respective space and an uneasy truce has been worked out by their governments. Neither side is capable of a sustained war at this time as they are both still struggling with crumbling infrastructure and lack of funds.

The Order of the Ashen sit apart from the galaxy. They do not control the region of space they occupy. The Ashen Temple sits on distant Kurdt, in the Nirv system. The Ashen have their own problems to worry about and besides, they are not interested in getting involved in the galaxy's business at this time...

Mysterious things have taken place recently in the galaxy. Several officials within the Republic and Sith Empires of varying importance have disappeared under suspicious circumstances and each side blames the other. There have been wild rumors spreading in the poor districts on many worlds that some cataclysm will soon spell the end of everything.

All is generally peaceful, if tense, and yet, lurking in the shadows, lies a threat so heinous and devious that even the Sith would quail in terror if they only knew...


The Factions & Leaders

Order of the Ashen: This will mostly be the GM (Me) as Ashen Master Klempt Tork, but I would welcome one or two additional player/s.

The Sith Empire: Faction leader and co-GM Darth Shadra Dark Lord of the Sith (Yuul_Shamar). Remember, you don't have to play as a Force user in the Sith, you can be an Admiral or some other officer in the fleet.

Republic/Jedi Order: Faction leader and co-GM Jedi Master Pytr Dooku (Saintheart) Remember, you don't have to play as a Force user in the Republic/Jedi, you can be an Admiral or some other officer in the fleet or a Senator. The Senate will be a sort of mini faction within this larger faction. The team leader won't have direct control over you, but you won't have control over him either and the team leader controls the Republic Navy for the time being.

Secret Faction: Sorry, no details will be forthcoming about this at the moment as this is the crux of the game where the mystery will hinge. (I will technically play the leader of this faction for story purposes, but the co-GM [whoever s/he may be] will be defacto leader of operations).

Game play

There will be plot points given (or hinted at) at various times, including and especially in the beginning, but this will also be an open ended game where players can feel free to go places and meet people (or fight with them) on their own missions or missions given out by the leader of their faction (and that could possibly lead to clues to the greater mystery). But don't worry if you like objectives and guidance, there will be plenty of that as well. You as the player can have some control over how much/little guidance you want from the GM.

No god-moding allowed unless someone you're fighting/talking with officially drops out of the game and doesn't finish the fight/conversation. If you haven't received a response from the player by pm, send me a message with your concerns and I will let you know what options you have in dealing with the player's character.

Please, if you're leaving the game, a simple pm to myself and/or your faction's leader and/or an in game post would be appreci

 

The Man of Gath ... has approved me!

Ladies and gents, meet your Head of the Jedi Order

Name: Pytr Dooku
Age: 49
Species: Male human
Planet of Origin: Serenno
Physical Description: Five feet nine, dark eyes (blind - see below), slender, white hair, unbearded.
Affiliation: Jedi/Republic
Position: Grand Master of the Jedi Order
Lightsaber: Blue. A straight hilt, of fairly regular construction.

Fighting Style: Pytr has a Jedi Master's grasp of Shii-Cho (Form I), but he's still working on Soresu (Form III) as well. His style of fighting is encapsulated in the phrase shockingly direct; rather than the prettiness of dance that comes with some of the newer forms, Pytr prefers a straight-ahead bulldozer approach with a minimum of energy spent. In the rare situations where he's forced into hand-to-hand combat, his weapon of choice is the underestimation of his capabilities by his opponents; his combination of enhanced senses combined with seeing with the Force in such situations makes him a far more dangerous opponent than one would expect.

Personality: In some respects, Pytr Dooku is perhaps what his distant descendant Yan Dooku should have been. He is determined without being megalomaniacal; resolute without being obssessive; aware of the Jedi's superiority without seeking their predominance over all else. He's the kind of man who can put you at ease in company even though you're the lowliest cattle herder from Shauum Hii. He doesn't joke much. He is attuned to sensing emotion and nuances of movement from his hearing. He bears a charisma beyond what the conquest of his disability would inspire in others, he's a decent administrator and an able commander.

Biography: At this point in history the Dooku family is one of several noble families which occupied the royal seat of Serenno from time to time. Having said that, House Dooku's fortunes were at a low point; following court intrigues most of the Dooku line was eliminated in the bloody purge of Shaicoe about fifteen years ago. There were two survivors: Tynaeus Dooku, whose line would eventually bring forth Yan Dooku ... and Tynaeus's brother, Pytr Dooku, who had joined the Jedi Order as a boy and left Serenno many years before.

Tynaeus hid away and survived unscathed. That left the perpetrators with one target - Pytr Dooku. For his part, Pytr had a relatively unremarkable career as a Jedi to that point; he had achieved Mastery, but his main talent was that he had grown into a good administrator within the Order. He was never a paragon of saber technique.

He was, therefore, lucky to survive when assassins from Serenno caught him unaware on a mission and managed to hit him with a blinding laser weapon full in the face. Pytr drew on the Force in time to avoid the killing shot, and his fellow Jedi came quickly to his rescue, but Dooku's eyesight was permanently destroyed right back to the optic nerves.

However, his new disability seemed to awaken a core of determination within him. He adjusted to his changed lifestyle within the Order. Some two years later, he took a sabbatical and went on a journey to the homeworld of the Miraluka. There he learned not just the Miralukans' trick of seeing with the Force, but also their other arts: the unassisted enhancement of the other four senses. And he was fortunate enough to learn under a Miralukan Jedi -- after many months of frustration -- the art of duelling blind with a lightsaber. He would never be the match of a native Miralukan, but the Force still flowed strongly enough for him to more than get by despite his disability.

Pytr Dooku returned to the Jedi Order proper, and resumed his administrative duties, branching out into teaching. His determination translated into a rediscovered talent for command and for diplomacy, and with so many other Masters killed during the Sith conflict, he rose through the ranks, finally achieving the title

Name: Aria Ardis
Age: 26

Personality: Often angry and easily flustered, Aria is calmed only in the presence of her beloved husband. She will often fly off the handle if anyone attempts to harm him.

Bio: Raised in the Jedi Temple, Aria was only 16 when she met and fell instantly in love with Klempt. Though he took her as a padawan, she was determined to have him for he own and eventually she won him over. Together, they left the Jedi after the Council threatened Klempt for disobeying their orders. They moved for a time, hiring themselves out as mercenaries until they settled on Kurdt and decided to found a new sect - the Ashen.

Name: Klempt Tork
Age: about 33
Gender: male
Species: human

Description: Standing at a meager 1.82 meters, Klempt is of medium build, fair complexion with a slightly larger than average physique, though nothing truly special. He is a nondescript being that most dismiss without an after thought due to his patient, quiet, reserved nature.

Affiliation: Order of the Ashen

Rank within Affiliation: head of the Ashen Council

Lightsaber: Klempt carries a slanted blade with an ancient Sith holocron embedded in the side. Blade color is silver.

Fighting Style: Normally, Klempt engages in form Zero, though when he must draw his saber, he fights mainly in Sokan style or Niman when not facing blaster fire.

Personality: Very moody and often depressed, Klempt has always tried to help those who have no voice or power within reason.

Bio: A former Jedi, Klempt came from the lower levels of Coruscant where as a baby a Jedi saved him from some slave runners and brought him to the Temple where he was found to have Force potential. As he grew up though, listening to Jedi hypocrisy, he began to question their tenants and philosophy. Not being one of extremes, over time he came to believe there was a happy medium between the Jedi and Sith - one that offered action when necessary, but didn't harm anyone unnecessarily. Before the return of Darth Revan, he had already made up his mind to leave and he took his padawan, whom he had fallen in love with, with him, marrying her. They moved for a time, hiring themselves out as mercenaries until they settled on Kurdt and decided to found a new sect - the Ashen.

Affiliation: The Sith Empire
Rank within Affiliation: Dark Lord of the Sith(I think)
Lightsaber (if applicable): He has two lightsabers on him, to compliment his form. The handles are slim, meant more for control and precision then
brute force. The blades are black, even to and through the core, a result of the crystals he has tainted.
Fighting Style (if applicable): His own form, meant for speed, agility, and killing his foe. He has grown skilled with duel wielding to add even more speed.
Personality: Calm and calculating, although when a being arouses his anger his wrath is hard to escape. However those that succeed or perform well in their tasks he sees that their work is rewarded.


Bio: Was trained by the previous Dark Lord after being found on Nar Shadaa. Shadra doesn't remember where he came from before that however. The early years passed fairly quickly, moving on to steadily greater skills. As his training progressed and he became the equivalant of a knight he began to develop his own style of lightsaber combat, the one that would later make him so deadly in later years. It took him years to create and then master.

His power grew along with his skill with the blade and as it did so he hid his rising power from the Dark Lord and when ready, struck the Dark Lord, his master, down in true sith fashion and claimed the mantle of Dark Lord for himself. The task he sets himself to now, is rebuilding the empire from the wars of the past several years. He is determined to make the empire rise from the ashes, and when it does...

As Jedi weren?t supposed to love, they hid it. But upon their discovery, the Council threw them out of the Order. They refused to surrender their lightsabers when they left, and were soon married. Jorya was born a year later.

Not long after Brev was helping a mother who was escaping the Sith with her son, and it wasn?t long after that the Sith figured out his actions. So they decided to kill the Lanks and take baby Jorya and train her as a Sith. They only succeeded in half of their plan, as the Lanks had decided to hide her in an orphanage. They also gave their daughter?s caretaker a note that would explain everything. Fortunately the Sith never discovered where she was.
Growing up in an orphanage wasn?t easy for Jorya, especially when she discovered her ?powers?. Many of the other kids were afraid of because of this and it wasn?t until she was seven that she finally had some answers. A Sith Lord found her, disguised his identity and ?adopted? her. But before he could get her off system, Master Klempt killed the Sith and took Jorya into his protection.

Jorya has realized her true calling to become one of the Ashen, and by now has read the letter left to her by her parents. She is dedicated to the cause of the Order of the Ashen, and will do anything to protect her new family. Klempt has since become her Master, and now Jorya is well on her way to becoming an Ashen , but she never forgets what the Sith did to her parents.

Lightsaber (if applicable): 14 inch single bladed lightsaber. Crimson long-blade due to a damind crystal in the hilt. The hilt itself is a metallic black with more black tape for a grip. The emitter is a close resemblance to Luke?s in ROTJ. Whispy spiral design permeates the surface and overlapts the grip tape. Inside the hilt are the crimson color crystal, giving the blade an almost white inner core and it?s distinctive clear dark red hue, a damind crystal allowing the extra length, (normal blades are a meter long or less. This blade is 120cm long.) And a Lorrdian stone, allowing him to focus to great lengths while in combat.
Fighting Style (if applicable): Uses Vaapad/Juyo but is a master of Makashi as well. Lotus gets his namesake from his fighting style. He starts conservative in a straight up fight, not giving anything away. But the longer the fight drags on the more vicious he gets in his tactics. He does not taunt, and does not talk much to his opponents. For all intents and purposes in combat he is all business. He employs both advanced lightsaber techniques and Force powers into his one on one style, fluidly connecting them to seamless defense and offense. Lotus prefers striking from the shadows, as blending in anywhere with anything is his speciality. He is an assassin by trade. Most of his victims are lucky enough to pass from their lives without even feeling his wrath in straight combat.

Personality: Quiet mostly. Faithful to his cause. Despises weaklings or those who are boastful of their power. Despite being a Sith Master, Lotus believes strongly in a code of honor while in battle.
Bio: Lotus grew up on Anobis. As a young child he was thrust into war. His planet has had a civil war that has been raging on for as long as history has recorded it. His parents tried to do their best for him by loving him as best they could. But were normally fighting. He had to learn how to fend for himself very early on. One day when he was 10, his family was attacked by a hired assassin. The assassin was Force Sensative, claiming to be a sith. He disposed of Lotus? family in front of him as the helpless boy watched. The assassin had already dismissed Lotus as no threat when the boy stabbed him in the leg with a cutting knife. It was after he flung the boy into a wall that he realized that he was also strong in the Force. The young boys eyes had begun to change colors as his anger took him. Even with his power, The assassin knocked him out and brought him back to be trained with other prospects. Lotus grew up here learning how to harness his abilities, using the anger from the death of his family and his hatred of war to define his power. When he was 19 and still an apprentice. He confronted the one that had brought him to the Sith and cut his throat. With the same kitchen knife that had been embedded in the mans leg, years prior. He claimed then and there that he never left a job unfinished. And that Vengance had been served. Since then he has risen to the rank of Master and serves his leader without hesitation.

Name: Gerard Hulnare
Age: 32
Gender: Male
Species: Human
Description:
--Height: 5? 10?
--Weight: 165 lbs.
--Build: Thin and muscular
--Hair: Brown, cut short and unkempt.
--Facile Hair: A thin goatee kept neatly trimmed.
Affiliation: Sith
Position within Affiliation: Governor Exemplar
Lightsaber (if applicable): NA
Fighting Style (if applicable): From a distance, he uses a blaster pistol expertly. Close up, he is trained in the art of teras kasi, fighting with various types of knuckles, fists, and kicks
Personality: Gerard is a sly one. He is one of the smoothest talkers around, and is a skilled politician. He also has a quick and deadly mind. His schemes make him quite a natural in the Sith order, and it was not long at all before he became the Governor Exemplar. He enjoys life, particularly the company of beautiful women, and is rather corrupt. While he does his job properly, he is not above bribes or?.. other means, of persuasion.
Bio:

Gerard grew up amongst the Sith. His parents were no-name soldiers in the Sith army, and Gerard soon became known as the son of no-name soldiers. This did not please him. He had a troubled childhood. His family was always poor, and food was only present because it was rationed to them by the Sith army. Gerard was poorly clothed, underfed, and totally friendless. He vowed from that day, only seven years old, that he would not live in poverty for the rest of his life.

Gerard had few talents that would gain him his wealth and power. However, he did what he could. He cruelly manipulated people. At first, he felt guilty, but after a time, that faded. Before long, he was respected by everyone at school and had spiffy new clothes to boot.

However, as he graduated from school, his current position was no where near where he desired it to be. So, he manipulated and talked his way into various positions of power. Eventually, he ended up in the position of Governor Exemplar, the place he had always wanted to be.

Throughout his life, he had trained in martial arts, and is now a worthy foe to even some Sith. His hands and feet are lethal weapons, and his skill with a blaster is nigh unmatched.

Needless to say, Gerard does not want for much anymore. He is always surrounded by beautiful women, and he always has enough food, comfort, and music to make himself content with life. However, he is still just as sharp as always.

Gender: Male

Species: Human

Height: 6' 2"

Weight: 185 lbs.

Hair: Long (going down to his shoulders), brown, beginning to show strands of grey, full beard that is also showing some grey

Affiliation: Republic

Position within Affiliation: Jedi Master

Lightsaber (if applicable): Single blade, Viridian

Fighting Style (if applicable): Form II, Form IV

Personality: Has a very unorthodox view of the Force, which has probably prevented him from joining the Council. He believes it to be less of a tool and more of an asset that guides his actions. He discourages the recent efforts to scientifically classify it, believing that the Force is too complex to understand. He also tends to focus less on lightsaber combat and more on the will of the Force and his place in it.

Bio:

Dash took place in the beginning battles of the Mandalorian War, but pulled out at the behest of the Council. His apprentice, decided to remain, and died at Malachor V.

Upon Revan's return and the start of the Jedi Civil War, Dash once again found himself taking part in battle, this time with his new apprentice Bastila Shan. He helped Bastila develop her battle meditation, and soon deemed her ready to be a Jedi Knight.

During the war, Dash saw just how ugly combat was, and how a Jedi should not focus on war. Upon the war's end, Dash went into exile to further study the subtlties of the Force. After several years in exile, Dash returned to the Jedi to help his friend Pytr Dooku rebuild the broken Order.

Personality: He is proud and selfish, spoiled. Ishkit is powerful and persuasive to his friends. He is a leader and a fighter. Ferociously independent.
Bio: Ishkit is the heir to Togoria?s leadership. Since six, he has been training to become a fighter. His size leads him to bludgeon his opponents, but it also allows him to defeat much older and larger enemies. He would be a tremendous leader, due to his charismatic nature and a rare connection to the Force, but by no means is he a thinker.

Despite his position and immense inheritance, Ishkit manages to see the immense responsibilities and pressure that are pushed on him. He dislikes the attention. His only wish, is to live like the heroes he heard about in story books as a child. He doesn?t realize that most of them, died during their rebellions and great battles.

Ishkit plans to escape the planet with an older Togorian male, who is also a pilot.

GM APPROVED


Character Sheet:
Name: Airem Caelex
Age: 27
Gender: Male
Species: Nautolan
Description: 6'0" tall, weighs 200 lbs., with an athletic build. He has the typical green skin color of Nautolans, and has no real distinguishing features aside from a scar on his right hand and arm resulting in a tangle with a Sith warrior during the Jedi Civil War.
Affiliation: Republic
Position within Affiliation: Republic Admiral
Fighting Style: Caelex is the picture of a brawler. He isn't brawny, but rather uses lightning reflexes and intelligence to great advantage in combat, particularly close quarters. Although he is a decorated Admiral in the Republic Navy, he chooses to accompany his marines on landing operations as much as possible. He's quoted as saying, "You can't lead from behind."
Personality: Caelex is very outspoken and headstrong, always confident that he is correct. He has a great sense of humor, and doesn't dwell on the darker things in life too much.
Bio: Caelex was born to a middle class family on Coruscant years before even the Mandalorian Wars. His father was a security officer for Galactic City ,and encouraged his son to follow suit after he graduate with high marks from primary school.

Instead, the ever competitive Caelex decided to one up his father and join the Republic Navy as a raw recruit and was immediately put though rigorous bootcamp. It was after a few combat operations in the growing Mandalorian Wars that Caelex's potential was recognized, and he was ordered into one of the Republic's Naval Academies in order to further his military schooling.

Such a shift allowed him to miss most of the catastrophic battles at the conclusion of the Wars, which claimed many a good Naval officer.

When Malak and Revan attacked the Republic, he was promoted quickly to fill the gap created by the loss of so much of the Republic fleet. In such a desperate time he proved just what he was capable of, leading all manner of engagements and circumstances.

At this point during the attempted reorganization of the Jedi Order and the Republic itself, he is a very trusted Naval officer and can be counted on to be loyal to the Republic he loves in even the most dire of circumstances.

 

GM Approved!

Name: Commander Rast
Age: Mid-thirties
Gender: Male
Species: Zabrak
Description: Red skin, Short horns protruding from skull, light facial tattoos. Relatively tall, with a fit build.
Affiliation: Sith Empire
Position within Affiliation: Instructor, Sith assassination squad

Fighting Style: Like nearly all Zabraks from Iridonia, Rast is highly proficient in the extremely tough martial art form of his people. After joining the Sith, he was taught more subtle Echani techniques and how to hide himself from the Force.

Personality: Loyal and highly motivated. Likes to lead from the front. Originally cheerful and idealistic, years of war have left Rast somber and somewhat embittered. He still seeks revenge on the Republic for all the friends he has lost.

Bio: Rast initially sided the Republic when the Mandalorians attacked his home planet and killed most of his family and dutifully followed Revan's forces into the unknown regions in pursuit of the enemy remnant at the end of the war. As Revan fell to the dark side and began to form the first elite assassination units, Rast was promoted from the ranks of the Sith troopers and sent out to capture and eliminate Jedi knights. Although he performed well, and began to teach others how to hunt the Jedi, many of Rast's friends died in the fighting as the Sith Empire gradually collapsed. He still remains hostile to the Republic, which he blames for the state of the galaxy.

 

It's good to see so many already.

Lightsaber (if applicable): Matala doesn't use a lightsaber, however she is quite proficient with a vibroblade.
Fighting Style (if applicable): When wielding a vibrosword Matala uses a form that resembles Shii-Cho, except the blade's default position is always in a horizontal parry, held chest high and arms outstretched, offsetting the weakness of her short limbs and her muscle being able to do the work of longer blows used in proper Shii-Cho.
Personality: While very respectful Matala has a tendency to go off on her own without a proper chain of command, without a leader she's the first to try and control a situation, normally in an aggressive manner, whether it be lifting up and setting aside a Twi'lek secretary blocking her from where she wants to go or smashing the death sticks of a spice pusher to the ground. Matala will happily let someone else take charge however and fade into the background. She can be rather smarmy at times as well, passing comment to knock someone off balance or addressing others in a voice filled with contempt if need be.
Bio: Matala Logan was a recruit during the Mandalorian Wars and it was witnessing the savagery and slaughter of that conflict that drove her to push her body beyond breaking point and rise through the Republic's ranks. She also had the utmost respect for the Jedi who turned on the Council and aided the Republic. When Revan turned Matala chose to find the reasons why so she could present them to the Jedi, but to no avail. Her research did gain the interest of the Council however and when Revan and Malek began attacking the Republic Matala was one of the people they asked for advice. The Jedi finally accepted her offer of aid after debate over her ideas of confronting the threat and she helped them with how best to handle the Sith. Her support for the war and reasoning that fighting was a viable option made her butt heads, to say nothing of her support for Revan, and it wouldn't even be outside the realm of possibility for her to have the same feelings the Exile might have and that the Jedi should pay for what they had done, and in the case of the Mandalorians didn't do.

 

OOC: And a pretty balanced group too. That's good. Usually there are either mroe Sith or Jedi.

The Republic/Jedi are now full, except for the Chancellor.

We need one more Sith for sure, and I'm hoping I get a CS from a couple people on the droid and Ashen we have left. The last vacancy to fill the leader of the planet where the Ashen live.

I think tomorrow or the day after we can officially launch the game.

 

I thought I'd toss my hat in the ring and make my second character a Jedi, it's been approved and all.

"An angel? Maybe I am. Why? Are you a devil?"

Name: Petaya Jill Jameson
Age: 22
Gender: Female
Species: Human
Features: None
Eye color: Grey
Hair style: Short bangs
Hair color: Strawberry blonde
Height: 5'3
Weight: 87
Affiliation: Republic
Position within Affiliation: Ex Jedi Padawan

[image=http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e7/nancyallen/PDVD_011.jpg]

Lightsaber (if applicable): A single vivian one that's a lighter shade of green than councellors. Petaya claims she uses it as a reminder to be more in tune with the light side of the Force than other Jedi.
Fighting Style (if applicable): Petaya is strongest in Ataru, but trains in Shien and Makashi as well. Her favourite form however is one that would later be called Form Zero, that is barring lightsaber combat if there is a way out of conflict.

[image=http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e7/nancyallen/PDVD_010-2.jpg]

Personality: Petaya is a very methodical young woman, constantly thinking about the best way to do things. Evidence of this is in believing Force powers that are typically thought of as exclusive to Sith should be considered in order to give Jedi an edge. She could have had good conversations with the likes of Bastila and the Jedi Exile, for she respected both their views on the Mandalorian Wars and had she been asked would have gone into depth about what was right and wrong about their opinions. Whether it be simple lack of maturity or something more she doesn't behave like a Jedi, rather as a teenage girl. Case in point being like the Jedi Exile before her she was asked if she was an angel, her reply being to say 'maybe, why, are you a devil?' This extends to pranks she used to play if she thought she could outrage the Jedi doing so. Despite all this however she is stedfast in doing the right thing, even if she believes to know enough that doing the right thing means doing things that are below Jedi's high moral standerds. Somewhat paradoxically she feels that if conflict can be avoided then all efforts should be made to do so, and believes in leading by example of staying as true to the light side of the Force as possible.

[image=http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e7/nancyallen/PDVD_005-1.jpg]


Bio: Petaya's mother was a soldier who entered a relationship with a Jedi, hence how she became a Force sensitive. Because of this she was given up to the Order at a young age, being taken in as a Youngling on Coroscant where the Jedi's teachings began to influence her galactic view of being there to aid others. As she grew and matured the stories of the seperation of the Jedi and the birth of the Sith, of Darth Bane, the heroes and villians of the Jedi Civil War, the corruption of the Council, the fall of the Old Republic, through all of this Petaya began to see where the Jedi have gotten it wrong in the past. In fact especially for a Padawan it was feared she was learning too much, though she defended herself by claiming her goal of becoming a Councoller and maybe even a Master one day. It was a strong boast to be sure but one Petaya claims is made not out of pride but out of her innate desire to help, further stating the Jedi were responsible for it all. In reality it might have been during a time where she and other Jedi came across what remained of a Mandalorian raid that made her more determined than ever. She even began turning to the likes of Revan and Malek as role models, despite their poor reputation within the Jedi, because of how they went to help even when it was the unpopular thing to do. However after the Jedi Civil War Petaya was left without a master, without fellow Jedi, or even a home. Determined not to allow herself to lose heart Petaya travels from planet to planet, trying to follow the Force and perhaps do what she had trained to do her whole life, be a Jedi, despite the incredible risk she faces in doing so.

Child-Proofed, Lab Rat Tested, GM Approved Sith 'Droid, Incoming

Designation: VK-17C ?Vick? (Much to his dismay) or just ?VK?
Series Number: 0005
Model: Battle ?Droid
Description: (NOTE: The VK series of ?droids are based off the design of the HK series) VK has been barbarically painted by his impromptu owner, a high-ranking Sith Admiral. Such horrid markings include ?speed lines,? across his vocabulator casing and pointed stripes curving downwards from his eye sockets, ending at the edges of his vocabulator grate.
Affiliation: Sith Empire
Protocols: By standard VK-series schematics, VK is a well-programmed battle ?droid, capable of adaptive combat scenario algorithmic computations and, of course, brute force.

VK has been affectionately reprogrammed, by his owner, to think of organics (aside from the owner himself) as ?water-filled, meatbags,? whilst still remaining loyal to the Sith. Unbeknownst to his owner, he has an intense dislike of organics. Unfortunately (from his PoV) there is a sub-routine written in his programming that stops him from displaying such, and remaining true to his loyalty programming, plus some extra? efficiency programs.
Bio: VK was found on a desolate, outer rim world, five years ago by an important Sith Admiral and put into service as his personal bodyguard. In the five years, VK has received numerous upgrades from his owner, most involving ?unsavory? adaptations, so that assassination protocol is more easily carried out.

During a mission on an uncharted planet, VK went missing and was slightly altered by an unknown source. His owner is unaware, though he has been suspicious since finding the ?droid several days afterwards in the mouth of a cave on the same planet.

More recently, VK was charged to eliminate his owners superior, a Grand Admiral. VK was successful, in a sense; while he escaped undiscovered, target destroyed, the intended result didn?t happen. Instead of his owner being promoted, he was instead put under scrutiny by high command, and barely made it through the stress.

Now, VK awaits another assignment, whether it be for his master or the Sith.



OOC: 'Approverrific,' so spoke BrentusofGath.

And please excuse the HK-cliche'. I'm just a little bit of an HK-fan, that's all.

Name: Kaos Vynn
Age: 31
Gender: Male
Species: Human
Description: 6'2, 120 pounds, built well
Affiliation: Sith Empire
Position within Affiliation: Fleet Admiral
Lightsaber (if applicable): N/A
Fighting Style (if applicable): Very proficient with bladed weapons.
Personality: Kaos is a very disciplined, focused man, the consummate professional. His temper, although very well controlled, is ferocious when unleashed. Years of martial training has honed his body into a lethal weapon when he is compelled to use it, and he has sharpened his mind into a force no more formidable. He has a nervous habit of unsheathing and twirling his custom-made vibro-knife while on deck.
Bio: Kaos Vynn was born amongst the Sith. His father, Dar Vynn, was an accomplished Sith Naval pilot, and his mother stayed at home with young Kaos. When he reached the age of 17, he began a career in the Navy, looking to follow in his father's footsteps. 14 years later, Vynn has ascended to a position of power in the Sith Imperial Navy. He has become a hallowed figure in the Navy, with his many accolades being learned by young cadets in the Academy.

GM Approved!

Name: Casim Terino
Age: 24
Gender: male
Species: human
Description: Six feet tall. 180 pounds. Mostly muscle. Fairly short dark hair. Dark eyes, too.
Affiliation: Republic - Jedi Order
Position: Jedi Knight
Lightsaber: Violet blade. Black and silver hilt.
Fighting Style: A master in Form V. Also skilled in Form IV.

Personality: Dour and sometimes ruthless, Casim is steadfast in his dedication to the Jedi Order. However, his methods are sometimes questionable; he will often resort to measures most other Jedi would deem unacceptable. He is also very blunt, and will not hesitate to say what he means, even if his words are often harsh. He often has trouble sleeping, and often has disturbing nightmares.

Bio: Raised in the Jedi Temple from a young age, Casim has always been a talented duelist and an eager learner. During the Jedi Civil War, Sith soldiers captured and tortured Casim. This left him with more physical scars than emotional ones - though he has several scars on his chest and abdomen, he emerged from the experience with a newfound mental stability; though he was somewhat emotional beforehand, he has since become somewhat detached (and at times, even mean-spirited). However, it is doubtful that Casim is truly emotionless: his behavior shows signs of underlying aggression. There also exist undercurrents of other emotions: longing, remorse, and repressed desires, all of which threaten to undermine his apparent inner peace.

Name: Alicia GreeTo (Alice-EA-3-2)
Age: *not revelant*
Gender: ACTS Female
Species: Droid
Description: when extended she is bipedal, with 2 legs, 4 arms, and two shiny blue receptors incased in a purple slinder body.
Affiliation: Sith
Rank within Affiliation: N/A
Lightsaber (if applicable): N/A
Fighting Style (if applicable):Stun/Sonic weapon built into her body.
Personality: None
Bio/Other: Effecient and calculating, as she job requires her to be. Her voice is made to sound pleasant, with a sexy quality, when dealing with humans. Alice looks like, well a droid. Tall and skeletal with a melodic voice, and at the moment, purple skin covering her body. She liked purple. As a Class 2 Slicer, she has the ability to hack into systems with easy. Having 4 arms helps out also.

She can pull her arms into her body, and looks like a plain cylinder. During her many travels she managed to get ahold of a holographic array from a chameleon droid, and she uses it to full advantage, to project surrounding imagery in its
place, effectively rendering the droid invisible. While not a true cloaking device, it is nonetheless effective against passive sensor scans.
