[OOC] Coruscant Sacked: Aftermath

[frapet]

@frapet I have known Ellri a long time, he will be looking for a longer and more detailed bio.

@Sep

Wow, ye I can imagine, it cut out a bit somehow! deleted the original though, will be working on that!

[Sep]

If you need a hand you can get in touch with Ellri in the IRC in his sig or the Op. He will be more than happy to help.

[Ellri]

We'll look at it tomorrow or so, @frapet.

[Ellri]

@frapet

its an interesting base concept.

The first impressions are that the character could grow into something interesting.

On the subject of his ambitions and behavioral style... He has ambition, but keeps it tempered, concealing it beneath a shell of servitude, but does not truly plan anytime soon to gain a higher rank than apprentice? Remember, in the empire you need to seize power to rise above a certain point.

Anger is but one of the ways of wielding the dark side, and even that can come in both controlled and uncontrolled forms. there's the methodical anger where you work to ruin someone's life, and then there's the mindless rage. We're guessing that his rage is hard to bring to the surface, and that he values control?

Have you given any thought to whom he serves?
Darth Nyiss doesn't really want (or need) an enforcer (which is kinda what he looks like he'll be), but there are other Sith that might want one. Even apprentices can have apprentices after a while. There's a few invisible divisions within the rank of apprentice, and of course titled apprentices are the highest tier of apprentices.

As Sep said, we'd really like more flesh in the bio. But its better to have a sparse skeleton at the start and fleshing it out than to have pages of stuff that doesn't fit and has to be replaced. Try building something around what you have in the other sections. Something to justify his skills and such. You can refer to major moments, like how he was discovered to be force-sensitive.

Force powers can also be built in once you have a clearer grasp on the bio, as the best way to assign them is to have them reflect the character.

Don't hesitate to ask questions or to ask for help.

@Ellri
Yes I am rewriting the bio as we speak, it somehow did not get copied when I posted, and afterwards I deleted the word file it was in with the thought that everything was here anyway ^^.

The ambition question is spot on, he has it, but will only try to seize power when a lot of factors are swinging his way.
In line with that is his use of the force, he values controll, but he can only display truely powerfull feats in the force when in genuine rage.

As for a master: EVERYONE: consider this an open application. Do you want somebody to push around? Do you want someone that is loyal dispite most things? Arunash is the man for you!

as for force powers, working on them as well, but I am thinking of investing him in the defensive powers mainly (tutaminis) as those are the powers he uses while not in rage, than having a few that he can use when he taps into his anger. I haven't had the time to look at the list you put up though.

[Ellri]

If nobody else present themselves, you can always consider our Miasa. She is ambitious in much the same way. Extremely cautious and controlled. Knowing things is something that she likes to do.

How is he with technology?

The list is essentially the wiki list boiled down to core powers and filtered for balance and plausibility.

[Sep]

Also they are player goals not character goals.

Every time @Ellri. This is obviously your fault.

[Ellri]

The blame is yours, Sep. Taking blame for things that do not go right is why we keep you around.

[Sep]

No you keep me around to review things when you are tired or something feels off :P

[Ellri]

That is a bonus feature.

He is looking for someone to be assigned to! who wants an apprentice?

Arunash Varuul

Name: Arunash Varuul
Species: Rattataki
Age: 28
Gender: Male
Faction: Sith Empire
Rank: Apprentice

Appearance:

A tall and broad, chalk white Rattataki. Arunash has black tattoo’s over his face, one colouring the most of his chin, and two ‘fangs’ running over his bald scalp. He has grown accustomed to displaying his physical fitness by keeping his arms bare. Wearing a set of charcoal plated pants under a chestpiece, over it he wears a sleeveless black overcoat. A broad grey scarf hides his neck. Arunash uses a lightsaber with a hilt that is often mistaken for a double-bladed lightsaber while only having a single blade. He uses the longer hilt to add strength and leverage to his attacks.

Notable Characteristics of Species:

Near humans with white skin and a lack of hair.

Flaws:

- Over-confident of his own abilities
- A bad loser
- Submissive, preferring the following role. In this he aims to serve those higher up the food chain of the Empire
- Mainly combat oriented in regards to the force, he lacks finesse with the force, using his rage without subtlety.
- Slow to truly anger, making for a weak point in his force abilities.
- Strict with the rules, and following them himself, something that doesn’t always work out for a Sith.

Skills:

- His Strength and physique are his strong points, he knows this and uses it for intimidation. Djem So is his form of choice.
- Patient. Though having its flaws for his use of the force it works for Arunash in the long term (he hopes), awaiting his time to strike, whether in combat or during interrogation.
- While looking like the dumb brute, Arunash aims to use this to his advantage.

Force capabilities:

-Tutaminis (basic): Arunash has learned that if he cannot inflict much damage through the force, he might better have a solid defense against it. He can't go as far as deflecting sabers with his bare hands, but he can deflect a forcepush and the like.
-Basic skills in force sight,sense, precognition and other basic powers.
-He rarely amplifies his powers when truely enraged, giving him acces to force scream, bellow and more powerfull telikinisis powers.

Biography:

Born into slavery for the Sith Empire Arunash learned from a young age it was better to lay low than to stand out. At age 14 a census amongst the slaves of the sector revealed Arunash to be force sensitive and he was brought along to train at the temple on Korriban. He had little going for him there. His affinity with the force was mediocre, at best, his personality and submissive attitude thrived poorly in the academy. The only thing he had going for him was his physique and his skill with the blade. Though it was enough to draw the attention of the more manipulative acolytes who (ab)used them for their own gain, it did not get him the attention of a master. Long years where spend at the academy, but when Arunesh was 20 he was picked out by Lord Galryn.

Lord Galryn was a Sith of the front lines, a commander of ruthless efficiency. In Arunash he saw a devout tool. Together with 4 other apprentices Arunash had to vie for approval. Though anything but Galryns most impressive student, he kept making result, and more importantly; stayed alive. As such apprentices came and went but Arunash just roamed the battlefields under Lord Galryn’s guidance. He grew more and more experienced in the use of Djem So and Shien, dominating his opponents with overwhelming, but controlled force.

The relative safety of Lord Galryn’s protection came to an end when Galryn’s command ship was sunk in battle. Another apprentice rose to take up the position and fought an uphill battle without space and air dominance. Arunash was quickly sent away under false pretences. As was his plan. With it came a reassignment however. One that would bring him to The Kaggath

Personality and/or Motivation:

An early live in slavery thought Arunash the value of both staying unnoticed, while at the same time appearing strong. It has shaped him into a normally silent, soft talking man that tends to avoid conflicts with his superiors. He is the type of person that calculates his options and then goes cold and ‘makes things happen’ in the way most efficient (in his mind). He is a strong believer that a better galaxy can only be created by optimizing the strength of each individual. If this goes at the cost of lives, so be it.

Player’s long term goals:

Rise in the ladder of power to come in service of a powerful Darth. Nourishing his skills under them and maybe, eventually becoming one himself.

Relations:

@frapet

I'll get to this tom, sleep time.

[Fallenreaper]

@frapet Check your pm box, hun. I sent you a link to the CS and a few ideas/suggestions/questions to help you flesh more the sith you're creating.

[Ellri]

What did we tell you about trying to kill Xid, @Fallenreaper?

[Fallenreaper]

Time to set the alarm clock for Lea.

@Ellri

I doubt she will leave him alone when she learns what happens with Nyiss, at least for a while. *currently in a collab with @Sundered Echo<3*

Jayda's waiting for replies from @Zoldyck, @Rtron or @DBlade26 as @Sep and I were the last to reply in to that scene. Is anyone having any issues or difficulty?
