A time of doubt and darkness for the galaxy. Great tension continues to grow between the Galactic Republic and the Sith Empire as a tense cold war continues to escalate.
Proxy wars, espionage, political actions and smaller scale undeclared wars are the sword and shield of either side prepare for all out war.
The Perlemian Trade Route is a critical source of commerce and trade in Galactic Republic, one of the many veins of lifeblood which has kept the massive government
alive over it's thousands of years in operation. Along this route sits the Republic aligned world of Sevra, a peaceful world nearly as old as the Republic itself, now engulfed
in a bloody civil war. Loosing this vital world could lead to a lack of supplies in the core worlds, and more so sever a vital method of travel to the Republic, leaving the
worlds upon it at the mercy of the Sith Empire.
The Sevratarian government has been fighting a loosing battle against separatist noble houses, intent on taking the planet and leaving the Republic. Uneasy negotiations
have been underway for nearly two years as the separatists only get bolder and bolder, backed by an unknown party supplying them with the means to destroy the
poorly trained and ill equiped Sevratarian loyalists.
A plea to the Republic Senate is heard, and Jedi Knight Ki-Somo Pasla is sent with the Jedi Councils blessing to find a peaceful end to this bloody conflict. However, the
Jedi peace keeper has sent a high priority distress call to the Council on Tython, claiming that the world is enduring something far more treacherous than they had initially
anticipated, and that negotiations are impossible. With this new information, the Senate has voted to settle matter on Sevra through force of arms, against the advisement
of the Jedi Council. A force of Republic warhships have been sent to settle issue, however the nature of Pasla's distress call remains uncertain. In these times of uncertainly,
the clouds of the Dark Side shade all, and nothing is known for sure...
Setting
Star Wars: A Galaxy Devided is set in 3644 BBY, one year prior to the first events of Star Wars: The Old Republic. The main plot point for the roleplay will be the non-canonical planet Sevra which sits along the Perlemian Trade Route.
There are 3 playable factions - the Galactic Republic, Independents and the Sith Empire. Republic and Imperial players will have a story arc provided by the GM's to play through which will lead them across the galaxy; that being said, it will be largely dynamic according to player actions. The Independents will have no story arc and are entitled to do as they please within reason; the GM's will assist where ever possible in the creation and development of player-made Independent stories and character development. Independents are welcome to interact with Republic and Imperial players.
The world of Sevra itself is an old and relatively peaceful world, bearing Terran climate with the exception of a more cold and mountainous landscape. The urban areas are dominated largely by ancient stone structures refurbished with modern fittings and appliances akin to the world of Naboo. The government is consistent of multiple noble houses which hold council meetings in order to govern and make diplomatic choices for the planet. In it's early history Sevra was a bloody place as many civil wars and rebellions arose from both upstart noble houses and the population itself. This came to an end when the planet joined the early Republic and it has seen very little since bar the Mandalorion Wars and the Jedi Civil War. Because of it's long standing peace the world is largely demilitarized and instead relies on the Republic for aid, as do many of the worlds under it's domain.
As of 3642 BBY the planet has been engulfed in a sudden and brutal civil war. Several pro-independent noble houses arose and took arms in an attempt to force the government to secede from the Republic. This was only met with violence as the loyalist noble houses fought to defend themselves. The separatist movement on Sevra is far better armed and trained than the loyalist defenders, making the situation more than a bit hairy. Despite the planet being a vital world in controlling the Perlemian Trade Route, the Republic has, until now, only made attempts at a peaceful resolution, culminating in the sending of Jedi Knight Ki-Somo Pasla.

1.9 meters, 78 kg.
Korsan wears Brown Jedi Robes and Tunic. Underneath his cloak and on his outer tunic he has light Durasteel Shoulder plates, a chest plate, boots and knee pads.
Equipment: Blue Lightsaber; Comlink, Light Durasteel Armor; Jedi Robes
Personality: Korsan is very Optimistic. He see's at least a little good in every situation. He is also quite Self-Confident, and he believes that with enough determination he can do anything. When he needs to, he can be practical though. Sometimes he will do things without thinking them through all the way, and although he says he will think things through more, he never does. He gets very focused on things to the point where he isn't that concerned with anything else.
Biography: Korsan was adopted by a family on Corusant when he was born because his parents didn't want him. When he reached the age of six it was discovered that he was Force Sensitive, and although at first his Adoptive Family didn't want to let him go to be trained as a Jedi, they eventually let him go. When he was Sixteen he went to Dantooine with a number of other young Jedi Initiates to find their Lightsaber Crystals to eventually make one of his own. It was hard for Korsan to find one of his own in the many caves of Dantooine due to him not being as powerful in the force as others, but he eventually found one in a deep cave that felt like it was calling to him. The Crystal grew with a faint Blue light, and after a few days of Meditating on the Crystal he took it and left the cave. After returning to the Jedi Temple on Dantooine he spent the next few weeks making his own Lightsaber with his Crystal.
After Korsan finished building his Lightsaber he was given the title of Padawan, and he was assigned to Jedi Master Adamar Lancoat, a male human. This was also the time for Korsan to decide what path of the Jedi he wanted to pursue, and he chose the path of the Jedi Guardian. Korsan and Adamar went on to doing missions for the Jedi Order and the Republic. Korsan trained with his Lightsaber every chance he got, eventually getting quite good with the first three Lightsaber Forms. By the time he was Twenty he also started to train in the fourth form, planning on one day knowing them all. This was also around the time of the Sacking of Corusant. Korsan and Adamar were at Corusant, reporting about a successful mission, so they were at the front lines in the battle. Korsan was lucky enough to just barely escape the battle with his life, but the same luck did not find his Master. Adamar died, and after the battle had ended, Korsan was given the title of Jedi Knight.
Spoiler: Knight Ahkara Sye [ Republic | Pinkie Pie ]
Name: Ahkara Sye
Species: Togruta
Gender: Female
Age: 27
Affiliation: Republic
Faction: Jedi Order
Position: Jedi Knight
Appearance:
Spoiler: appearance
A visibly younger Togruta, Ahkara Sye lacks the larger Montrals and the lack of a third Lekku on the back of her head, all signs of her general youth. Standing at 5'9'', Ahkara is shorter for a Jedi, and her physically takes on a more agile appearance than the usual mesomorph or athletic build that most Togruta are subject to. In addition, her skin is a dull greyish blue, in contrast to the warm orange or red skin tones of most Togruta. This, along with her violet eyes, can possibly be due to her attunement with the force. The patterns on her Montrals and Lekku are a soft white in contrast to her blueish skin.
For clothing, Ahkara usually wears a lighter version of the regular Jedi robes, ones allowing for more fluidty of movement. In times of need, it is not uncommon to see her dawn some form of light armor, and at times it is not uncommon to see her in civilian clothing, something highly unorthadaux for a Jedi.
Personality: Without delving to far into her psyche, Ahkara behaves similarly to most Jedi, and speaking with her it's obvious that she is of the order, though she is more than capable of hiding this fact if she needs to. That said, her behavior is astranged to the Jedi stereotype in that she is far more lax than your average Jedi, something which earns her credit within the order, be it good or bad depending on those you ask. Like nearly all Jedi, Ahkara is calm under pressure, and works well in stressful enviroments. To her, there is no greater guide than the Force.
Equipment:
Lightsaber
The weapon of the Jedi, a great item both with incredible symbolisim, and use. While Ahkara's lightsaber might appear like a generic saber to the untrained eye, each saber is unqiue to it's owner, and Ahkara's is no different.
Spoiler: Lightsaber
In addition to her Lightsaber, Ahkara rarely travels without her holo communicator, it being the only other deffinate part of her equipment besides her saber.
Skills: Like all Jedi, Ahkara is trained in the ways of the force, and can therein use any of the basic force abilities as any Jedi could. Her chosen lightsaber form for all situations is form five, Djem So, although she has also mastered Shii-Cho and is learned in Makashi.
Biography:
Ahkara Sye had lived on Corcuscant all her life. All her life spent in the shadow of the Republic, in the shadow of the lower level gangs, and in the shadow of the mysterious Jedi. To a young Ahkara, the Jedi were something of a wonderment. She had lived not so far from the Temple on Corcuscant, so the sight of a Jedi, while still a rarity was far more common than it might be elsewhere. She had seen their strange and mystic powers, heard their wise councilings, and witnessed their impossible weaponry. To her, the Jedi were a source of wonderment and curiosity in a place where all else was a strugle to get by. At the age of six, Ahkara was brought into the order by Master Belth Allusis, and his then padawan Ki-Somo Pasla. Whilst both the young Togruta and her parrents were happy to see the child given a chance at a better life, their seperation still was difficult for the soon to be Jedi.
The training began as it does for all Jedi, with books, classrooms, and holo displays. While many young initiates were put off by this slow start up to what would be an otherwise exciting event, Ahkara did not mind at all. Growing up the the lower levels of Coruscant tends to give one a perspective that way. The study and early training was long and hard, but Ahkara pushed through it, and she earned a distinction from her peers as being far more patient and academical than most. During the later years Ahkara learned to handle a lightsaber, learning and quickly grasping the most basic form, Shii-Cho, whilst simultaneously continuing her study of the force and Jedi history. At the age of 14 Ahkara took her Initiate trials and passed, culminating in her journey to the world of Illum, along with other Jedi Initiates, to uncover her Lightsaber crystal.
Somewhere in the frozen crystal caves, Ahkara made the step to Padawan, and emerged again with a sapphire blue force crystal. Ahkara spent three weeks meditating on this crystal, imbuing it with the force before she finally constructed her saber, a defining moment in the life of any Jedi. Finally, the classes and training were over, and she would soon begin her new training in the field, under a master. Ahkara was assigned to Jedi Master Tivas Saran, and her training in the field began with a bang. The pair were sent across the galaxy on missions varying from diplomacy to rescue to investigation, and always they had done their tasks with distinction. Ahkara took on the lax mindset of her master during this, and compared to most Master Padawan parings the two had a rare ability to agree on strategy and method, resulting in nothing short of a functional team. Over the next several years the pair would bounce world to world on mission, always returning to Coruscant inorder to meditate and aid in the Jedi affairs there.
All of this changed in 3653 BBY with the sacking of Coruscant, which both Master Saran and Ahkara were present for. The battle was long and hard, and many times Ahkara had nearly lost her life. It was the first time she had ever truely faced another in Lightsaber combat, and it is a feeling she will never forget. For the first time in her career as a Jedi, Ahkara felt fear. After the battle was over, Ahkara had fled from the temple in order to save her life. Using her knowledge of the lower city in order to avoid what would be certain death. She however had left behind her master, and while the two could not have left together, Ahkara still took the blame for his death. After the signing of the Treaty of Corcuscant, Ahkara had made her way to Tython with the rest of the Jedi. There, the Jedi Council decided that the sacking of Coruscant had been more than enough of a trial for the Jedi, and elevated her to the status of Jedi Knight. For a time, the sacking weighed heavily on Ahkara's mind, but through long meditation and support from her peers, she resisted the emotions of anger, and the want for revenge. In the following years, Ahkara spent her time running more missions than ever before, though rarely was she alone. The time had come when the Galaxy needed her, and all the Jedi most, and she was prepared to answer it's call.
Appearance: Slender framed and somewhat tall for her age, Ariet doesn't look much different from your average Echani female. Her white hair is kept in a short bob, and often held back behind her ears with hairpins. A single white braid can be seen coming from behind her right ear, indicating her rank as a Padawan. Thick, bluntly cut bangs are kept in front, falling just below her eyebrows (and occasionally into her blue-ish gray eyes). The only noticeable blemish on her pale face is a small mole on her upper right cheek. Her attire is very simple; a brown tunic worn with matching pants and a long hooded robe.
Equipment: Ariet usually only carries a few basic supplies, such as a medical kit and her holocommunicator. Because of her forgetful nature, though, she prefers keeping a worn out brown notebook around with her, which helps her better remember important details. On her belt is her lightsaber, which glows a vibrant green when drawn.
Skills: Like most Jedi, Ariet is skilled in the Lightsaber form of Shii-Cho, as well as the Force power aspect of Control.. Because she is still a very newly made Padawan, she does not necessarily have many other combative skills.
Personality: Despite her decision to walk the path of a Jedi Consular, Ariet is not someone you would typically see in such a role. She can be spacey at times, and is constantly forgetting important or even crucial information. In addition, she has also proven to be rather naive, and occasionally comes off as gullible as a result of her overly-trusting personality. Ariet is very strong-willed and determined, though, usually to the point of stubbornness. This has been met with both praise and criticism from others, as her headstrong attitude can often times get her into trouble. Aside from all this, Ariet is a very gentle and sympathetic person, who would prefer to use words over her lightsaber (though this may also be due to her uncomfortableness with close combat).
Biography: Ariet was born on Corellia, the only child of Bemere Akez. With the passing of her husband just 4 months before her daughter's birth, Bemere worked tirelessly in the military shipyards, helping construct ships for the ongoing Galactic War. Her busy schedule and seemingly endless hours often meant that Ariet had to find other ways to entertain herself. She lead a very happy and peaceful early childhood regardless, spending most of her time playing alone in her bedroom. Shortly before her 5th birthday, her Force sensitivity was discovered, and Ariet's training at the Jedi Temple at Coruscant began soon after. The transition proved difficult at first, but Ariet would always keep an enthusiastic outlook on the matter. While she would always have a secret yearning to return to her mother back home, she was excited to learn the ways of the Jedi, and as such, her homesickness rarely became a problem.
Only a few years after her arrival at the Temple, though, Coruscant was suddenly attacked by Sith forces in what became known as the Sacking of Coruscant. Ariet and many of the other initiates were forced to make their escape through the underground passages and tunnels beneath the temple, while the more experienced Jedi above battled under the crumbling walls and ceilings around them. She would remember it as a time of immense stress for her and her peers, and although she had suffered very little in the actual attack, the emotional impact would weigh heavily on her for months. Although With the destruction of the place she only briefly called home, Ariet was later sent to the newly constructed Temple on Tython, where she would eventually complete her training.
Now at 16 years of age, Ariet finally completed her trials as an Initiate, taking the role of Padawan. Within the caves of Dantooine, she uncovered her force crystal, and began the process of creating her first lightsaber. With it's completion, the council assigned her to Jedi Knight Akhara Sye, and soon after were sent on their first assignment; the investigation of the separatist movement on the planet of Sevra.
Spoiler: Padawan Xkylar [ Republic | Clyde ]
Name: Xkylar or Xky [remember Xs are pronounced like S. So his name is pronounced as Skylar]
Species: Human
Gender: Male
Age: 18
Affiliation: Republic
Faction: Jedi Order
Position: Padawan; under Korsan [pending]
Appearance:
At a distance he seemed unapproachable beside his master. Despite being fairly short, standing only at 5'3". When he let down his hood though, he gave a youthful, smile. He has smooth pale skin, though nothing like the ice people of the universe. His eyes are sky blue, probably the origin of his name. And his hair is honey in color. It is cut short, but is slightly messy and wavy. Exactly like image
Spoiler: Xky
Spoiler: Xky Face shot
Equipment: Robes, lightsaber [see picture kind of powdery blue, almost white or silver],
Skills:
Telekinetic Force abilities
Shi-Cho-Intermediate
Niman- Basic
Personality:
Despite the super coolness and coldness of his picture, Xky is quite the opposite. Around the adults and the experts, he appears serious, calm and collected. Outside though, especially around his master, he has a bright and uplifting personality. He's a bit bubbly and cracks jokes when they aren't needed. He is kind of talkative and bouncy, but he always has a plan somewhere involved in all of his madness. He has habits of making situations worse, and can sometimes be a bit clumsy at times. Despite this though, he is loyal, and respects honesty. He seeks virtue and justice. He is eager to please, sometimes to eager to please and always respects what the elders tell him. This eagerness gets him into sticky situations at times. Charming, to a fault, and bouncy he's a little more fun than what is expected of him. He can be a little headstrong and sometimes he will chew on more than what he can handle, but he shows great restraint in repenting for his mistakes. He likes fruity drinks, and hot, sunny places despite his skin going red. He dislikes unnecessary conflict and violence, those who are dishonest, and those who are disrespectful to those in authority.
Biography:
Is it safe to say I was lucky enough to be born on Corusant? Of course it isn't. Some baby stealing Jedi saw that I was force sensitive at three and took me for training. Not that I am complaining or anything. Sounds a bit like a complaint, doesn't it? I have been training since I have been quite young, though I think I'm quite funk at it. The elders think there is something special about me, I just think they are to old and foggy to know what talent is and isn't. It sure ain't me.
Pretty sure you're going ask, how did I manage to stay the way I am and not experience the same stick up the you know where like the Masters? Simple, you get bored enough you create your own entertainment. Also you're not suppose to know about the sticks wedge up so far high.
Well okay not so my master, Korsan. He's okay. He doesn't think things through much though. Only complaint. I swear.
I was sixteen when I took my trials. Afterwards for two years I have trailed my master Korsan. He's okay, compared to the others.
That's really all there is about me. I lived a boring safe life, well except you know the fact that I have been training in the Jedi Order. I don't think anyone would consider the Jedi order being quite safe. It's a lot better than the other things that I could have been born into.
Appearance: At 1.7 meters, Naio is not uniquely noticeable for her stature. However, turning heads is not difficult, even without her reputation. Her toned body, a product of hard years of training and exercising her many talents, has many of those less frigid customers wondering if she offers other services. One look at her face makes most of them change their mind. Sharply angled, it is not any less beautiful than her body. The tan skin of her face is marred by neither age nor stress. However, she bears a long scar stretching from her right top hairline to the bottom of her left cheek. Though it disfigures her face slightly, it does not hide her beauty. Strangely, Naio has never been seen to expose any skin besides her hands and face.
Equipment:
- Jetpack
- Datapad
- Full-body combat armor
- Spare ammo for weapons
- Wrist flamer (right top wrist)
- Grenades and other explosives
- Pair of dueling blaster pistols in holsters
Personality:
Naio is quiet because quiet is what she does. She rarely has anything to say outside of combat and when she does, it is probably worth listening to. In combat though, she will not hesitate to direct people as she sees fit, no matter their rank.
Biography:
Naio was born to a backwater world whose name nobody remembers and which is more of a ball of molten slag now. That was courtesy of the Sith Empire. So was the long stay with a more-than-‘kind’ Imperial officer who Naio parted with a ceremonial dagger that he kept as decoration in his private quarters. That was more time ago than Naio likes to think back to.
Though her world had been a backwater, it had no shortage of extraordinarily odd people. Naio’s parents were some of these oddities. Her father was an innovator and builder of new designs who had no equal. Her mother was an innovator as well, though her talents lay more in taking things apart with large explosives. There were arguments and reconciliations in equal terms in the Naio household as a result. Both of them doted on Naio, teaching her all they knew. Her mother would often fondly refer to Naio as “The only thing I ever found worth making.”
During her time with the Imperials, Naio heard that it was her father’s relative fame and her mother’s relative notoriety that had brought the small squadron of Imperial ships to their doomed world. They had apparently thought that they could bribe or coerce them into joining the Sith Empire. At the time the world was not part of the Republic and was far behind the front lines that the Republic was trying so desperately to maintain. There would be no help coming. The planet and its bare handful of residents were on their own.
However, the Sith had reckoned without the resolve of the people. Oddities, yes, but they were all like Naio’s parents in one way or another. And they all shared a fierce independent spirit. What the Sith had expected to be a one-day stop to bully Naio’s parents into joining them turned into a three month long siege of the world. Time and time again, Naio’s parents would prove that their inventions were well worth the stop, even if it wasn’t quite in the way that the Sith had intended.
Eventually though, someone higher up in the Sith hierarchy got tired of having a squadron, even a small one, tied up over a small world. They gave an ultimatum to the world: surrender or die. The residents chose the latter and the world burned. Naio was the only one to survive, thanks once again to one of her parents’ inventions. The Sith scooped her up afterwards, a trophy of a needless campaign. The rest is history.
Naio spent a lot of time with the Sith. Well, not really, but it seemed like a long time. A long span of torments can feel like a long time and that is how it felt to Naio. She met quite a few interesting figures during her time with the Sith including regular soldiers, commanding officers, and a Sith Lord or two. She got to know them all very, very well. And they got to know her very, very well. She occasionally found herself the center of a very complicated web.
Eventually, Naio left the Sith. They gave her offers and then gear and goodbyes. Her stay with them had changed her view of galactic matters in ways that few could expect. She was certainly no longer the person that they had scooped out of the mess of her planet all that time ago. They would sorely miss her talents among them, she knew, but her needs lay elsewhere.
Making her way into the galaxy after that was something rather new to Naio. Her sheltered upbringing did not inform her very well. Looking back, she is certain that she was cheated of fair payment for her talents, no matter which ones she was exercising. Still, the truth was that they probably couldn’t afford them if she charged full price. Besides, a massive war makes the calculations pointless. There is always new employment to be found.
And that is how Naio found herself on Sevra in the current time. For the time being, Naio puts her lessons learned since her birth, especially those with the Sith, to work as a mercenary. Guarded mostly by undertrained and underequipped loyalists, the Sevratarian government was more than happy to take on a skilled mercenary, no matter the cost. And Naio’s pay is quite considerable. It doesn’t help that she has been working for them for a while and has earned a reputation for effectiveness. Still, the high casualty rate during operations she runs is something she is told leaves much to desired…
Equipment: Double Bladed Blue Lightsaber, general survival kit
Skills: Agility, Acrobatics and natural finesse. Lightsaber form: Niman
Demonstrated use of Force Fear.
Personality: Quiet and reserved, constantly fighting her inner emotions. Friendly to strangers, but lives in isolation for fear of endangering others.
Biography: Isini was taken in by the Sith when she was just 11 years old. The way of the Sith was all she knew. She had excelled through her younger years, often winning duels unscathed. She was mentally strong, and physically nimble. She wasn't the strongest person out there, but through a series of precise movements and acrobatics, she usually won. It took her a long time to gain a handle of the force, though some would say that she was never really in control. She eventually was sent out on several assassination missions from the age of 19, to different planets. She soon got into the routine of her "work", though there wasn't a passion for it, much to the jeering of her comrades. They would take great pleasure in dismembering their enemies whenever there was the chance. For Isini however, she just wanted to make it quick, painless and get back to a less gruesome task back at the academy. After her 8th assassination several of her comrades decided that they no longer wanted someone without the brutality that they expected, and tried to make her death look like an accident. They tried to dispose of her and blame it on the now dead assassin. Several hours later she was on an intergalactic shuttle to the nearby planet of Naboo with blood on her hands and guilt on her conscience. She decided that she wanted nothing more to do with the Sith and changed her red lightsaber crystal for a blue one in an attempt to not draw attention to herself. Coming to the conclusion that only life she had known could endanger anyone in her presence she headed out into the unknown, on a random journey filled with self loathing, pity and pain.

Tuteminous(sp)
Personality: Cruel and calculating. V'rai uses every advantage he can and plays on his opponents fears and weaknesses to unbalance them. Prone to playing the friend or diplomat to discover his enemies weakness. It doesn't matter which side of the war they are on he will slay anyone who stands in his way of his goals. In his early training Rafe emulated Lord Malgus and his philosophy on war and conflict. Believing that only through war can the sith better themselves. However unlike Malgus Rafe saw the sacing of coruscant and the immediate ransom of the planet to be an excellent tactical move. Prolonging the war would only strain their enemies and cull the weak from their own ranks in his eyes.
Biography: Rafe was raised on an off world station orbiting his home planet. He was discovered to be force sensitive early on and his parents surrendered him to the Empire knowing it was their duty to do so. Despite being considered an early failure by his overseers Rafe rose above the others in his class just short of the day they would be selecting the few to send to Korriban. He did this by brutally and soundly defeating each and every one of them during their final tests. The entire few years they had been training together Rafe was studying their habits and strengths. When the overseers arrived he stood above them all with a smug grin on his face knowing that the overseer's had pegged him as a loss. His bloody rise gained him the right to go to Korriban where he would study within the academy and meet a new batch of allies and victims.
His time at the academy was much more difficult for him since he couldn't kill the other acolytes outright. His enemies remained on the board even after he had defeated or betrayed them. Fielding plots of revenge as well as conspiring with and against those he continued to train with.
Once he was selected by his master however his rise was almost blinding. Since none of the other lords considered a mere apprentice a threat. This allowed his master to deploy him against his rivals and the republic easily. Giving Rafe a handful of soldiers to take key cities or stations from the republic. Rafe was even allowed to participate in the sacing of coruscant and fought in the bloody battle for the jedi temple. Dispite the misgivings of some of the Lords present Rafe thought the victory well worth the effort and their prize was half the known galaxy.
Now that the empire is set to begin it's offensive Darth V'rai is sent to Sevra to aid in the Empires interests.
He wears a grey-black cloak, which covers everything up to his neck. His face pokes from the hood, revealing a mask that covers his eyes, mouth and can extend over his head when breathing becomes difficult due to the surrounding environment, whatever it may be. The mask may also enhance his vision, although his real eyes remain intact underneath if not being somewhat more limited. Grey metal gauntlets, hiding the red-tinted skin underneath, the only thing that could reveal his hybrid heritage, cover his large four-finger hands.
(6’2’’ / 190 pounds)
Equipment:
Under his cloak the only armour he has is a long-sleeve grey over-shirt separated from his lower body by a thick synthetic-cloth belt. Baggy grey pants made from the same artificial fabric shroud his legs.
Drakan is armed with a crimson-blade lightsaber given to him by his master, made from the core of an earlier apprentice.
Skills:
Drakan is skilled in the art of several forms of combat, although his is considered a master in only one form, something he strives to improve every day of his life.
Drakan can manipulate small to medium sized objects with his grasp of the force. Other than this he is yet to learn any force powers.
Personality:
Aggressive, socially inept, complacent, cruel, hateful and single-minded.
Biography:
Drakan is a product of Sith parents although it is apparent in his physiology that at some point in his genetic line he had human ancestors the most apparent of which is his very light red skin. He is a native of Ziost and from a very young age he was known to be especially cruel with a natural predisposition to use of the force. His wild emotions were his weapons before he was old enough to be taught, let alone to be mentored. He could go from calm to wild with anger in the blink of an eye, making him dangerous to even those closest to him. He became isolated from everyone he knew and to reflect this he donned a mask and began pursuing the force and the power his raw uncontrolled hatred gave him. He met limited success as he had barely anything to use in terms of discipline and no way to judge his prowess with either the force or a lightsaber, the latter being something he had yet to acquire. Through sheer force of will he took to the stars looking for a great Sith Lord, one of legend to give him something he desperately needed… guidance and training. With a powerful master to train him, he could explore the depths of his power and gain access to secrets and technics highly guarded by the all powerful Sith lords. While aboard the transport ship Benydar in the outer rim territories Drakan’s ship was boarded by a much lager vessel. The ship was from a backwater planet that was known to be rich in a great range of valuable minerals. When an accidental explosion caused them to lose most of their equipment they took to piracy to make up their losses, this would prove to be their undoing. They had great number and were able to overwhelm most of the crew with basic weaponry (the occasional blaster or laser drill, and melee weaponry). Drakan was able to stay away from the combat until the fighting broke his meditation. In the Captain’s quarters he found a ceremonial sword, which he later used to butcher 32 miners in close combat. He then accepted the Captain of the mining ship’s surrender after he was able to corner several of them on the bridge. When he had collected their weapons he allowed them to return back to their vessel but before a shuttle could arrive to collect his prisoners he evacuated the cargo bay’s atmosphere, killing them all. He accepted their surrender but they had conspired against him, and for this death was the only response… he simply changed the method to something more efficient. His reputation from this act of cruelty and close quarter skill caught the attention of Lord Scion Maw and the Sith Lord offered an apprenticeship, an honour Drakan accepted immediately. Since then he has been an entirely loyal apprentice of few words. His master’s will is law and it is never his place to question him, the only thing he receives in return is an example on which to follow, a true lord with true power to envy and crave as most Sith would. His master graced him by providing him his first lightsaber a crimson blade that he has kept with him since that day over eight years ago. He was subsequently taught the usage of the lightsaber and he was eager to learn as some of the more aggressive fighting styles came to him naturally. Drakan accepts this master and apprentice relationship with zeal as he truly feels his master will one day be the greatest Sith Lord to walk the universe and he would be feared as his right hand.
Equipment: Lightsaber/ combat armor/holocom/first aid kit
Skills: (Be sure to include your lightsaber form(s) if Jedi/Sith)
Shicho
{learned as a primer to all combat, basics to built on}
Makashi
{studied as a counter measure to republic blaster fire when laying siege to enemy strong holds}
Shien/Djem So
{V'rai's favored stance and form.}
force grip
force lightning
force speed
force jump
Tuteminous(sp)
Personality: Cruel and calculating. V'rai uses every advantage he can and plays on his opponents fears and weaknesses to unbalance them. Prone to playing the friend or diplomat to discover his enemies weakness. It doesn't matter which side of the war they are on he will slay anyone who stands in his way of his goals. In his early training Rafe emulated Lord Malgus and his philosophy on war and conflict. Believing that only through war can the sith better themselves. However unlike Malgus Rafe saw the sacing of coruscant and the immediate ransom of the planet to be an excellent tactical move. Prolonging the war would only strain their enemies and cull the weak from their own ranks in his eyes.
Biography: Rafe was raised on an off world station orbiting his home planet. He was discovered to be force sensitive early on and his parents surrendered him to the Empire knowing it was their duty to do so. Despite being considered an early failure by his overseers Rafe rose above the others in his class just short of the day they would be selecting the few to send to Korriban. He did this by brutally and soundly defeating each and every one of them during their final tests. The entire few years they had been training together Rafe was studying their habits and strengths. When the overseers arrived he stood above them all with a smug grin on his face knowing that the overseer's had pegged him as a loss. His bloody rise gained him the right to go to Korriban where he would study within the academy and meet a new batch of allies and victims.
His time at the academy was much more difficult for him since he couldn't kill the other acolytes outright. His enemies remained on the board even after he had defeated or betrayed them. Fielding plots of revenge as well as conspiring with and against those he continued to train with.
Once he was selected by his master however his rise was almost blinding. Since none of the other lords considered a mere apprentice a threat. This allowed his master to deploy him against his rivals and the republic easily. Giving Rafe a handful of soldiers to take key cities or stations from the republic. Rafe was even allowed to participate in the sacing of coruscant and fought in the bloody battle for the jedi temple. Dispite the misgivings of some of the Lords present Rafe thought the victory well worth the effort and their prize was half the known galaxy.
Now that the empire is set to begin it's offensive Darth V'rai is sent to Sevra to aid in the Empires interests.

Reason: re edited for the imposed rank structure
Alright, so after convening with the other GM's we've decided to deny your character for the moment.
I'm going to take the liberty of pointing out the reasons why we chose to deny this, and to offer some advice in how to improve it.
Firstly, your character is far too young for the allotted skills and title. Darth is a title of supremacy in the Sith hierarchy, equivalent roughly to the rank of Master in the Jedi. Essentially what this means is there are very few Darths, and those that are around tend to be very old. The point is rising to the rank of Darth within 27 years is nigh impossible. That said, we're not going to allow any character to start that far up the ladder in any faction. Secondly regarding the age and skills is your knowledge of four lightsaber forms. Lightsaber forms are not an easy thing to master, especially when you're mastering the force and learning in an academy. Realistically you'd have to hold yourself back to one or two saber forms, and have only really mastered a simpler one, unless of course you have a reason for mastering an advanced one. I suggest you look up the lightsaber forms on Wookiepedia and see which ones are more realistic to understand at a mid tier level. Finally, your force powers. It's unnecessary to list things such as speed or jump, since these are things that nearly all force adepts posses. On the other hand, knowing both choke and lightning is a bit forced feeling. I'd pick one or the other.
That said, the premiss of the character feels a bit flat. We'd like to see more depth into why they behave as they do, rather than simply 'I'm evil'. I would also suggest reading more about the Sith in this time period on Wookiepedia. There are certain parts of the origin story which don't exactly line up with how the Sith operate. Murdering your fellow acolytes for example. While I don't need to stress that being capable of defeating an entire class worth of Sith acolytes in nearly any situation is a tad unrealstic, I do feel I should mention that the Sith, while constantly backstabbing and betraying each other, do have laws. Straight up murdering your classmates, while cool and all, would be highly illegal in Sith society. It's mentioned in SWTOR during the Sith Inquisitor storyline that such things are known as 'unauthorized murders'.
Beside these things, I suggest you add a bit more content to your sheet, specifically the personality and biography sections, as they feel a bit slim. Hopefully you improve upon these things, and don't take the criticism the wrong way. The last thing I mean to do is insult or offend.
Equipment: Double Bladed Blue Lightsaber, general survival kit
Skills: Agility, Acrobatics and natural finesse. Lightsaber form: Niman
Demonstrated use of Force Fear. Personality: Quiet and reserved, constantly fighting her inner emotions. Friendly to strangers, but lives in isolation for fear of endangering others.
Biography: Isini was taken in by the Sith when she was just 11 years old. The way of the Sith was all she knew. She had excelled through her younger years, often winning duels unscathed. She was mentally strong, and physically nimble. She wasn't the strongest person out there, but through a series of precise movements and acrobatics, she usually won. It took her a long time to gain a handle of the force, though some would say that she was never really in control. She eventually was sent out on several assassination missions from the age of 19, to different planets. She soon got into the routine of her "work", though there wasn't a passion for it, much to the jeering of her comrades. They would take great pleasure in dismembering their enemies whenever there was the chance. For Isini however, she just wanted to make it quick, painless and get back to a less gruesome task back at the academy. After her 8th assassination several of her comrades decided that they no longer wanted someone without the brutality that they expected, and tried to make her death look like an accident. They tried to dispose of her and blame it on the now dead assassin. Several hours later she was on an intergalactic shuttle to the nearby planet of Naboo with blood on her hands and guilt on her conscience. She decided that she wanted nothing more to do with the Sith and changed her red lightsaber crystal for a blue one in an attempt to not draw attention to herself. Coming to the conclusion that only life she had known could endanger anyone in her presence she headed out into the unknown, on a random journey filled with self loathing, pity and pain.

“It's so easy to stand with the crowd. It takes courage to stand alone.”
I love me some Star Wars. Apparently people are already choosing lots of Sith. So I may be a Jedi instead? Well someone under training, much like Obi-wan was in training before.
1.9 meters, 78 kg.
Korsan wears Brown Jedi Robes and Tunic. Underneath his cloak and on his outer tunic he has light Durasteel Shoulder plates, a chest plate, boots and knee pads.
Equipment: Blue Lightsaber; Comlink, Light Durasteel Armor; Jedi Robes
Personality: Korsan is very Optimistic. He see's at least a little good in every situation. He is also quite Self-Confident, and he believes that with enough determination he can do anything. When he needs to, he can be practical though. Sometimes he will do things without thinking them through all the way, and although he says he will think things through more, he never does. He gets very focused on things to the point where he isn't that concerned with anything else.
Biography: Korsan was adopted by a family on Corusant when he was born because his parents didn't want him. When he reached the age of six it was discovered that he was Force Sensitive, and although at first his Adoptive Family didn't want to let him go to be trained as a Jedi, they eventually let him go. When he was Sixteen he went to Dantooine with a number of other young Jedi Initiates to find their Lightsaber Crystals to eventually make one of his own. It was hard for Korsan to find one of his own in the many caves of Dantooine due to him not being as powerful in the force as others, but he eventually found one in a deep cave that felt like it was calling to him. The Crystal grew with a faint Blue light, and after a few days of Meditating on the Crystal he took it and left the cave. After returning to the Jedi Temple on Dantooine he spent the next few weeks making his own Lightsaber with his Crystal.
After Korsan finished building his Lightsaber he was given the title of Padawan, and he was assigned to Jedi Master Adamar Lancoat, a male human. This was also the time for Korsan to decide what path of the Jedi he wanted to pursue, and he chose the path of the Jedi Guardian. Korsan and Adamar went on to doing missions for the Jedi Order and the Republic. Korsan trained with his Lightsaber every chance he got, eventually getting quite good with the first three Lightsaber Forms. By the time he was Twenty he also started to train in the fourth form, planning on one day knowing them all. This was also around the time of the Sacking of Corusant. Korsan and Adamar were at Corusant, reporting about a successful mission, so they were at the front lines in the battle. Korsan was lucky enough to just barely escape the battle with his life, but the same luck did not find his Master. Adamar died, and after the battle had ended, Korsan was given the title of Jedi Knight.
I hope this is a good Character Sheet, this RP sounds like great fun!
