Hello! I didn't mean to disappear again... School decided to get exponentially harder and holidays have my family scrambling around everywhere.
I'll be on more in a few days, but I might go back on hiatus once school starts up again.
That's alright Ves, Luna informed me about your situation and I've passed it onto Echo and Ellri as well. I know finals are hell week in highschool so no one will hold it against you, so we'll expect you back around Mid-January if not sooner. Until then, we'll put Shiri and torture her with time away from Xid. :p
Also, @Gowi Xid's earlier post was actually much longer but I cut it down in flavor of allowing others to become engaged who want to be. Btw, if anyone is having trouble getting caught up feel free to just basically hop up to the timestamp Xid and Talija are (mentioning some boring time waster like eating, resting, picking out a bunk, shower, etc to explain what they were doing) and he'll show you Ladies and Gentlemen how to open these damn doors without being seen. :p Rather handy for escape. XD Also, working on getting the summary bullet up to date as well as finishing my bit on @The Survivor's CS.
Since I didn't mention it in the IC, Xid's heading for the showers lift as it is less covered by cameras and easier to block their lesson. For anyone that wants to join.
I might try and join in if I can't figure out what else to do for it! I'm gonna be busy in the next few but I'll try and get a post up when I can!
Yay, and hope you can. Everyone's busy with the holidays, so I don't expect activity to get back to normal until likely the week after New years really. XD
Name: Corr Halcard Species: Red Sith (24% Imperial Human) Age: 20 Gender: Male Faction: Sith Empire Rank: Apprentice ( Nearly an Inquisitor) Master: Sith Lord Sish
Appearance:
Has a common imperial accent. Stands at 6 foot 3 inches or a little taller than 1.8 meters.
Lightsabers
The right one is longer than the left by about 10 inches
Notable Characteristics of Species:
Natural Affinity for the force
Flaws:
Suspicious- Due to past experiences, Corr isn't likely to trust anyone. Technologically Inept- Computers do not bend to Corr's will like the force does. Arrogant- While smart in the long run, Corr's overconfidence in his combat abilities may catch up to him one day. Resents Owing Anyone- Corr hates owing anyone favors, so if he owes you a favor, he'll probably not like you. Just like he doesn't like his Father.
Skills:
Form I- Schii-Cho Form VI- Niman Double Bladed Training- Trained in wielding two lightsabers, one slightly shorter than the other, with Form VI to maximize the effectiveness of combat. Inquisitor Training- Has skill and experience in interrogation and has extensive knowledge of the anatomies of most known species. Excellent Tactician- Corr has excelled at tactical action and analysis, he's definitely an asset in the strategy room. Many say he received it from his mother, who was a commander in the navy and skilled tactician herself. Competent Pilot- He can fly a fighter no problem, but if he's surrounded and outnumbered, there might be a problem. Budding Politician- As Corr gets older, he's starting to realize the importance of politics in the empire. He's slowly but surely picking up all the quirks and skills needed to make his way up the hierarchy. Psychological Warrior- Being an Inquisitor, Corr understands all too well the importance of psychological warfare. A good part of his Inquisitor training was spent learning to break down the enemy without even touching them.
Force capabilities:
Basic Sith Powers Force Persuade (Intimidation)- Being Over 6 feet tall and having the permanent look of irritation, Corr can be fairly intimidating. Usually all it takes is a nudge in the right direction for some suspects. While the force is a powerful influence in of itself, Corr still has to use some of his own tactics to help it along, especially with stronger willed species. Force Choke- The embodiment of anger and passion, Corr finds this useful when he needs to threaten someone. Or simply shut them up. Force Fear- One of Corr's favorite in interrogation, delving into someone's mind and making their fears a reality is a precise art, one Corr has yet to master. True masters can make someone's fears apaer in front of them without even being in the same room, but Corr is far from a master. He has to maintain eye contact and pour all of his negative feeling into deep concentration. Force Lightning- The Dark Side in all of it's power, Corr uses Force Lightning when he wants someone to bend to him. Whether by wounding them or killing them. Detoxify Poison- Being as suspicious as Corr is, he decided it would be beneficial to learn this ability in case he makes an enemy of a coward who won't challenge him in combat.
Biography:
Corr was born on Dromund Kaas in 3673 BBY. His Mother was an Imperial Officer and his Father A promising Sith apprentice. From a very young age, Corr showed to be very strong in the force and was given to the Sith by his parents when he was 5. From there he lived and breathed the empire. He was raised in the academy, more often than not excelling at many subjects. But while he was exceptional, he was also a powder keg waiting to explode. No doubt due to his father's own temper, which was famous for cutting down Jedi in it's fury. Sometimes it took a lot, like a pack of students who thought they could handle some lone sith. Or it took very little, like a droid bumping into him on his way to the mess. Either way, he earned a reputation of being unpredictable and dangerous. Some instructors recognized his potential and how much more dangerous he could be if he could control his rage and passion (And more than likely a promotion for teaching a promising young sith.)
They also realized a young sith powder keg was a recipe for disaster. And so Corr began training in Schii-Cho to discipline him. After some time, the instructors realized he was much more at home with two blades and when he was about 8 he began training in Niman.
Along with his lightsaber training, Corr's strong connection to the force gave him an advantage and his harsh, yet intelligent nature made his a good candidate for inquisitor. So he was taken under the wing of Ular Obesti, an inquisitor. They trained for several years together and Ular taught Corr everything he knew. But Ular had a secret Corr did not know about. Corr's Sith Lord Father was Ular's rival and Ular had been waiting for years to get back at him. No one would bat an eye over a dead apprentice. He attempted to kill Corr in his sleep. But Corr was attuned heavily into the force and had been sensing Ular's mounting anxiety for weeks and was quick to awake when that anxiety reached it's peak. A fierce saber battle ensued, but it was becoming increasingly clear that Corr would be killed. At that moment his father, who had been secretly tracking Corr's progress and simultaneously keeping an eye on his rival , stepped in and slew Ular. It was over in a second. His father's infamous rage destroyed Ular.
Corr's father saved him, but was disappointed by his son's weakness and offered no further help but tying up some loose ends so himself or Corr would be executed. He covered it up as an apprentice's attempt to avenge his family, which had been successful. So an apprentice was executed and the case was tied up, but Corr had to keep it secret. Corr resented owing his father, who had only spoke to him a few times throughout his life. His mother, a commander in the Imperial Navy, was much more supportive. Corr had survived but the feelings of abandonment, betrayal, and disgust Corr felt ensured he would trust no one for a long time. Corr knew then that only the strong survived and he was determined to thrive in this unforgiving universe.
Not long after the death of his former mentor did he meet Zanna, a fellow Inquisitor. While certainly not the most intimidating and definitely not the most powerful, Corr could tell she was smart and dangerous, in her own way. So he decided to make friends with her, which was made easier considering he was majority Red Sith as well. He shared her interests and built on her Red Sith superiority complex.
He inquired about her research and shared some meaningless gossip with her, and soon she began to warm up to him, though he knew he would have to do more if she was to stay loyal. He would need friends if he was to become stronger. Though Zanna wasn't the most influential of the sith, he had a feeling she would prove a valuable ally later on. Of course this was all to his benefit, he didn't actually care for her and would toss her away if something better happened along. Around this time Corr's mother, Lieutenant Commander Isla Halcard was assigned to the Kaggath high in the command hierarchy.
Despite training to be an Inquisitor, Corr has always found lightsaber combat more thrilling than torture, interrogation, or even using the force as a whole. Which is why he's focused on training with lightsabers just as much as he's trained with his force abilities. He believes body should be just as strong as mind.
Corr was sent on several assignments after that, mostly to see his progress in the field. As predicted he thrived and by his 19th year he had already killed a Jedi knight and his padawan, while recovering intel on Jedi movements. The most prominent of his assignments though was to the sacking of Coruscant where he was to hunt down some surviving Jedi and report to Sith Lord Sish on the Kaggath, unbeknownst to Corr, Sish picked him out from a list of prospective apprentices.
He found out that his mother was serving on The Kaggath, which made him uneasy. She could be a target if someone wanted to hurt him. He also learned Zanna would be aboard as well, it was somewhat of a relief, it can be so hard to make friends sometimes...
Personality and/or Motivation:
Harsh, power-hungry, suspicious, these all describe Corr. He wants to be the strongest, to get to the point where he doesn't have to fight for his life, because in a universe where the weak are destroyed and the strong remain supreme, what other choice is there? He believes every living thing has the potential to become powerful, which is why weaklings infuriate and anger him. He's arrogant, but smart. He may overestimate himself, but he never underestimates others. He understands the necessity of allies and will try to make a friend rather than an enemy. But if making a friend means making an enemy stronger than he is, he may not make a friend at all. What angers him the most though is betrayal. If you cross him, it may be the last thing you ever do.
Player’s long term goals:
Become an apprentice of Darth Nyiss. Become the strongest and thrive.
Relations:
Zanna, Fellow Inquisitor Darth Nyiss, by reputation Sith Lord Sish, Master Sith Lord Halcard, Father
Final Point - Secrets:
His father killed a fellow Sith Lord to save his life.
Alright, revamped skills, force abilities, and bio for @Fallenreaper, @Ellri, and [@SunderedEcho]
Edit: I decided to put my old character sheets for people to peruse to remember who I am.
Who and what are you?
I am Calista Praxon, Knight of the Jedi Order. I am a human.
You might have many masters or causes, but when it is ground down properly, you serve one side alone. Which is it? The Sith Empire or the Galactic Republic?
I serve the Jedi Order, and though it, I serve the Republic.
What do you look like, and how are you dressed?
When I was younger, my blonde hair always kept getting in my face, so I keep it short and behind my ears. I use two pins to keep it in place. I have grey eyes, and my skin is pretty fair since I've spent most of my days indoors. Last I checked, which was a few months ago, I'm five feet four inches. I prefer to wear the traditional Jedi brown robe over a cream colored tunic with a brown undershirt. My boots are also brown and I have a matching belt. I'm rather plain, aren't I? I've never really liked to stand out though, so plain looking clothes seemed appealing.
Why do you fight? What thoughts and ideas influence your actions? What are the reasons behind it all?
I prefer thinking of it as defending. Combat is a mindset: if you call it fighting, then it makes you a fighter, right? I don't want to fight. I want to defend and protect. I want to show that might is not right. Hopefully someday combat won't have to be used in wars and battles and fights, but instead, a grim reminder of the costs of war, and perhaps a hobby, like fencing. At least it would then be a game instead of something worse.
Do you have any skills that make you stand out from the crowd?
What? Me? No, I don't think so! I think I'm rather average--well, I guess what I think isn't what could be in reality though, is it? I'm not the best Jedi, but I'm... Okay? I've made it this far, haven't I? I can speak and understand some Ul'Zabrak, and I have the power of psychometry, if that counts?
How do you relate to everyone else? Do you have any friends, family, foes or subordinates among them?
I've had friends sure, a couple friends. They got scattered to different worlds though, so I don't know what they're doing now. My fellow Jedi are my brothers and sisters, the citizens are a flock to be shepherded, and the Sith... I pity them. But I can't hate them. They're misguided and power hungry, but they're trying to do what's best, I suppose. Trying.
Particular friends are Strago Kelrune and Kinsakwi'teksa.
What made you the person you are today? How did the past influence your present?
The force first manifested in me when I was five. I was bullied often, as a young child on my home world, so I preferred to be left alone near the cliffs overlooking the sea. Unfortunately the bullies found me and began accosting me. I remember I just got so...so... Angry. So tired and frustrated that they were pushing me around all they wanted and I could do nothing. And so I accidentally pushed one of them with the force, and he nearly ended up falling off the cliffs.
I was ignorant them about the full significance of my actions until I was taken and trained at the Jedi Temple. It frightened me that my loss of control nearly resulted in the death of a boy who only teased me. Such was the result of anger, my Masters told me, and I believed them. So I diligently trained to suppress and overcome my emotions to prevent another uncontrolled outrage. As a Padawan, I trained under my Master, Durak Kolar, a Zabrak. My Master was stern, but kind. We'd spar together, his double bladed lightsaber and Style IV: Ataru versus my curved lightsaber and Style II: Makashi. He emphasized trying to overcome the weaknesses of Makashi, and gave me plenty of practice to do so. He also taught me some Ul'Zabrak, which was necessary for a mission to Iridonia years ago. Even though I'm no longer his Padawan, I still keep in touch with him. We're fairly good friends now, and I'll be forever grateful for all that he's taught me.
As I grew older, I questioned my teachings. I think it's natural to do so: you shouldn't swallow everything you're given. Was it anger that was to be feared? Should we fear fear itself? The path of the Jedi Consular called to me to answer these questions, or find deeper understanding. To truly understand the Dark Side, one had to get near it, to experience it. But I also wanted to be a more well-rounded Jedi (and I enjoyed sparring), so I decided to become a Jedi Sentinel upon my ascension to Knighthood. Perhaps study in both mind and body will not only make me more well-rounded, but provide insight between light and dark. I was to be sent to the front lines after my promotion to Knighthood, but unfortunately, the Temple was besieged, and I was captured.
Everyone has flaw(s)... What is/are yours?
Oh, I have plenty, I think. I'm not as good as the other Jedi when it comes to combat, knowledge... Everything. I'm not as smart as I should be, or strong. I wish I could do more than I can. But I can't, and this limitation frustrates me.
Would you describe your Lightsaber, if you have made one? It's a curved one with a purple blade. I'm very fortunate to have one and am proud to have found it in the crystal caves on Ilum. I was claustrophobic of the space, and felt like I was getting low on oxygen as I kept venturing further into the cave. It didn't help that I was starting to become convinced that I had passed the same formation of crystals growing on the wall five times. Worse, the walking space was growing smaller and smaller. It seed as if the walls were collapsing on me. I could feel a panic attack about to come on, as my breathing rate increased. Luckily there was some practical part of my brain that made me sit down, take deep breaths, and recite the Jedi code. It certainly helped; I felt far more calm once I had meditated for a few minutes. With the code being repeated over and over in my head, I remained calm for the rest of my search, even as the space around me grew so small that I had to crawl on my stomach. And there, in that tiny section of the cave, was a single glowing, purple crystal in the darkness. My Lightsaber may not be overly ornate like most curved hilt sabers, but still maintains the grace and elegance as any of them. The switch is located near the hilt, so I don't accidentally press it in combat.
If you wield a Lightsaber, which of the Seven combat forms has your order trained you in? I have trained in Style II: Makashi, and I'm excellent in it, if I do say so myself! Still, I have much to learn if I want to be considered one of the greater Makashi duelists.
Describe your preference in the use of the Force. Are you particularly talented in any one area? Do you have flaws in another? What are the limits on what you can or will do?
I can do a little healing. But I am proficient at pulling and pushing objects with the force. I can't lift let's say, a starship, but what I lack in strength I make up for in precision. I'm better at using a lightsaber though. I also have the power of psychometry, which allows me to see impressions and traces of people from the objects they've used. It's hard for me to pin down one person when multiple people have used the object in question, however, and it is also difficult to use psychometry when the object is rarely (once) by the person in question
If you are a Jedi, have you given thought above as to how your character got captured, and why he/she/it is still alive? (answer to this can be reflected above)
No. No I don't. And honestly? I don't want to think about it. Not until I have to.
Who and what are you?
My name is Kres'haw'nuruodo, a Chiss female. Non-Chiss may call me by my core name, Shawn.
You might have many masters or causes, but when it is ground down properly, you serve one side alone. Which is it? The Sith Empire or the Galactic Republic?
My loyalty is to the Empire, as they are our allies, and there are things we can learn from them. Our societies benefit mutually, and share a few similarities.
What do you look like, and how are you dressed?
I stand at a height of 1.6 meters. Physical demands of being a Sith has made my body in peak physical form and mostly muscle. Like most Chiss, my skin is a cobalt blue and my eyes are red, my hair is black and falls to my shoulders with bangs across my left forehead. My battle armor is pure black, with a silver helmet covered with a black hood, the gauntlets are clawed, and the boots have spikes in the back and have cleats. When I’m not wearing battle armor, I prefer robes of the same color, pants, and leather boots with a metal toe. The robes have grey piping, and there is a long grey line on the outer legs of my pants, signifying my affiliation with the Nuruodo family, and a red undershirt to symbolize the Red Flame’s teachings.
Why do you fight? What thoughts and ideas influence your actions? What are the reasons behind it all?
I fight for pleasure and for advancing my own goals. The forefront of which is to strengthen my own power and gather knowledge to eventually part on to the Chiss. The Republic is a corrupted system that hides behind its Jedi, who outright ignores their passions. At least the Chiss recognize these passions: the Jedi are far worse in this regard, and need to snap out of their ignorance.
Do you have any skills that make you stand out from the crowd?
The Chiss have excellent night vision, and I am proficient in Chenuh, Minnisiat, and Galactic Basic. I’d like to consider myself balanced in terms of combat and the Force, but if I had to be honest, I am more proficient in using the Force than I am a lightsaber. My time in Imperial Intelligence has also given me knowledge of the identification and usage of poisons, even curing them. And of course, techniques in assassination and interrogation.
How do you relate to everyone else? Do you have any friends, family, foes or subordinates among them?
I left my families behind on Csilla when I decided to go to the Sith. Some call me a rebel for my actions, and that I’m squandering my talent with moactan teel, the majority believe that what I am doing is for the best. The non-believers will see reason over time, of this I am certain.
What made you the person you are today? How did the past influence your present?
If I must tell you, so be it. I was born into the Kres family on Csilla, the third oldest of four other boys. My parents were relieved to finally have a girl, and were less hesitant about having a family of five. My childhood itself was uneventful, but in a few ways, I felt different from my peers. Chiss are taught that all energy should be spent toward work, towards serving out the duties of one’s position. Emotional outbursts are unprofessional and wastes of energy, and so too were indulgences of luxuries. One could be doing something useful instead of loafing about. But couldn’t emotions be channeled into something useful? It seemed to be wasteful not to. And leisurely activities should not be so scorned: one must work, but there must be some relaxation. Otherwise, the worker can be burned out. At age ten, I entered the military and began working my way to become an officer. I was given exceptionally high marks, and bestowed with the honor of being adopted into the Nuruodo family and allowed to use their name in mine. Around this time was when the Ascendency allied itself to the Empire in exchange for preserving our own autonomy. For the sake of good relations between our groups, I volunteered to put my skills to work not as a Chiss officer, but as an Imperial Agent. This caused a minor schism in my family, with some saying it was a waste of my abilities, and others approving of my plan. Those who approved outnumbered those who didn’t, and so I travelled to Dromund Kaas and was selected into the Imperial Agent program.
It was satisfying work, but I will not go into detail, as I literally cannot disclose my work during that time period. What I can tell you is that I was a Cipher agent, and that my career was ended when a Sith Lord discovered that I was Force sensitive. He was Lord Saarai: a Pureblood. He took an interest in my sensitivity, and while he was not overly fond of those not of the Red Sith, he was even less fond of talent squandered. With my consent, he would arrange for me to be discharged from Imperial Intelligence, and ship me off to the Sith Academy to be trained as a Sith Apprentice. If I survived, he would become my Master and would continue my instruction. This was more than a mere opening: this was opportunity. An opportunity for the Chiss to further ingrain themselves in the higher echelons of the Empire: the very class who ruled it. I didn’t dream of this before, because I never thought that I had a sensitivity for the Force that the Sith spoke of. But now that this opportunity was staring at me in the face, how could I refuse it? I agreed to his terms, and thus ended my career in Intelligence.
Being a Sith Acolyte is difficult. Being a non-human Sith Acolyte is even more difficult, though I was treated fractionally better due to my near-human appearance. But great challenges are normal for Chiss: we do not expect handouts. I had to be particularly cautious, as there were some who were none too happy that a Chiss--an alien--had a spot, and not another human or a pureblood. I fought this undeterred during my time there, killing a few of my rivals in the process, without being caught, which silenced most of my objectors. Per our agreement, I was taken under the instruction of Lord Saraai upon graduation. Like me, he too had the ability of Force Stealth, and taught me how to utilize it. His work focused around Cipher agents and overseeing the interrogations of those they were instructed to capture. He was chosen with these talents in mind to come aboard the Hâsk and put them to use. While part of the temple strike team, he was specifically tasked with capturing Jedi to be turned to the dark side. I insisted that I be brought along, and after having to duel my contenders for the honor, I came out on top. But before we could set about our tasks, we had to find our subjects: during the Sacking of Coruscant.
My Master did not do well. In the temple grounds, we encountered a Knight and presumably, his Apprentice. I engaged the Apprentice, and he, the Knight. The Apprentice was resilient, but he ended up falling anyway. My Master, however, took a blow to his shoulder, and a whole chunk of his hamstring had been cleaved off. It was at that moment that he decided that he was too weak to continue, so I struck him down. Lord Saarai is no more. I am now in need of a new Master, and Darth Nyiss gave me the opportunity to put my Agent skills to use. For now, I have to focus on interrogation and converting the Jedi on board, while undoubtedly dealing with suspicions that will be hovering over me concerning the circumstances of my Master’s death.
I look forward to both tasks, but particularly the second: the greatest weapon the Sith can use is their former enemies. What could be better than to break the Jedi’s will by using its former students? It will be different, and a change of pace. Though I spend these last two days reading through prisoner files and watching the other Sith at work. Some Jedi are promising. Others are not. But I’ve also been preparing my entrance for a few days now… I think it’ll be particularly clever.
Good characters are always flawed in some ways. Often heroes are even more flawed than bystanders. There is typically a balance between greater skill in one area and significant flaws in others… What are your flaws?
My people think I’m too emotional. The Sith think I’m too restrained. Some think I’m too indifferent about how others perceive me outside of business. Imperfection is hammered out of Chiss during our preparation to join the military or our future career. Perhaps some could think of me as a perfectionist, though I wouldn’t think that to be a flaw.
Would you describe your Lightsaber, if you have made one?
It is black with some silver gilding, and has a blood red crystal to color it. The hilt of my lightsaber curls out as a blade with rings through it, and is kept sharpened so that I may stab someone with it and cause significant internal damage with the rings.
If you wield a Lightsaber, which of the Seven combat forms has your order trained you in?
After careful deliberation, I decided that Style V: Djem So was the best choice for me, as it allowed me to use both the Force and my emotional in combat to their maximum potentials.
Describe your preference in the use of the Force. Are you particularly talented in any one area? Do you have flaws in another? What are the limits on what you can or will do? Don’t forget that this is in the middle of a war. Anyone of truly great skill would have been at or near the front lines.
My true skill lies in my abilities with Force Lightning, Telepathy, and perhaps the most potent one, Force Stealth. With it, I mask my true allegiance and can speak to others from far distances. A very useful combination, given the right situation and the right wielder.
Is there anything else you would like to mention about yourself?
I’d rather not, thank you, I would have thought that my answering of previous questions was satisfactory. You don’t need to know anything more about me.
No, you're not too late and yes it was rebooted a long while ago with a bunch of new faces.
You might need to readjust your old CS a bit to fit with the reboot as several sections were alted and remade. We also no longer use the old first person pov in the fill out. I also think we're full up on Sith and your Race might be acceptable for your Sith due to the fact the Criss were more aligned with the Empire at the time rather than become a Sith. However we, as you know, will be willing to work with you to help things fit again. Mainly as I look forward to seeing Calista and starting off that Jayda plotline since a few players are involved as well.
They were more of a way of re-introducing myself more than anything. I would have stuck mostly with Calista's sheet. I'll see about rewriting it to be more aligned with what the sheet wants!
EDIT: Would it be preferable for her to be a prisoner or one of the rescuers? I am personally leaning towards the rescue team, but I'd like to work with what is needed.

I thought so, and nice to have you back.
We actually need more prisoners as it helps moves them along and they need to be the largest. When we move to syncing the two timelines, you can opt to escape and become part of the rescuers later or get recaptured (or in some Player's choice, leave it to fate). It also makes her knowing Jayda is on board easier and informing Vebra, who is her adopted older brother and others. As well as meeting Jayda face to face. Btw Sish has already lost an arm due some sloppy actions and has to learn to control himself. Hehee.

I can't say I'm unhappy to hear about his missing arm. :P
Anyway, this is a rough update of her character sheet. I'll PM you her secret along with the post I wrote of her first getting captured.
Name: Calista Praxon Species: Human Age: 23 Gender: Female Faction: Jedi Order Rank: Jedi Knight Master: Duran Kolar Captive? Yes
Appearance:
Blonde hair that reaches slightly below her ears and is kept back by pins, grey eyes. Slightly shorter than average height, but average weight. Wears the brown robe of a Jedi with a cream colored tunic, with brown leather boots and belt. Her lightsaber is a curved one with a purple blade.
Notable Characteristics of Species:
N/A
Flaws:
Low self-esteem Insecurity Perfectionist
Skills:
Excellent Makashi Duelist : Perhaps her best skill is with a lightsaber. Makashi dueling is not only a hobby for her, but a way to keep balance with her mind and body. She trained extensively on this as a Padawan, and still does as an adult. Fluency in Ul'Zabrak Due to her Master and time on Iridonia, she picked up some Ul'Zabrak, although she is rusty.
Force capabilities:
Psychometry : Calista can sense the history an object carries with it. The clarity of her psychometry depends on how often/recently the object was used, and if the object was used by one person or multiple people. She can sense conversations around it, to the emotions people felt around the object. Healing: She can heal minor cuts and bruises, stop bleeding, and fix minor bone fractures, but anything else is beyond her ability. Force push/pull: She cannot pull or push objects of an exceptionally large mass.
Biography:
The Force first manifested in her at the age of five when she used the Force to nearly push a bully off a cliff. This event frightened her very much not only because of the awakening of her powers, but because she nearly killed someone over something so little. Since then she resolved to control herself against a future outburst and from the temptations of the Dark Side. She trained under Master Durak Kolar, a Zabrak, who trained her to overcome the weaknesses in Makashi against his Ataru. While she was still a Padawan, she and her Master were sent to Iridonia to investigate the supposed murder of a Force sensitive Zabrak. She carries the Zabrak's Padawan braid to this day, tied around her wrist.
After her ascent to Knighthood, she was waiting to be given her orders to leave the Temple on her first assignment. As it was attached, she never received them, and is now in need of rescue.
Personality and/or Motivation:
Calista strives to do what she can as a Jedi in the chaotic world that is the Galaxy. She is humble, though this can be to the point of self-bashing. But with a lightsaber, she feels more confidant in herself and her abilities. Calista wishes to be but a candle in the midst of the dark; a tiny source of light not great enough to expel all of the dark, but to provide light, warmth, and hope to those who need it most. She has a tendency of carrying an inner monologue with herself during conversation.
Long-term Goal
Calista wishes to live her life in service to the Jedi Order as an example and inspiration to others, and to be the best Makashi duelist that ever lived.
Relations
Jayda Mirthios: Calista has been holding on to her Padawan braid for many years, ever since she left Iridonia. She intends to give it back to her, along with delivering a message from her brother and news of her mother's death. She hopes to save her from whatever snares the Dark Side may have in her. The Sith: She does not hate the Sith, but she pities them. She believes they are trying to do what they think is best, however horribly misguided and destructive as that thinking is.
In addition, I made some altercations to Jayda's family and past which I'll deliver in a pm to you ASAP so you can alter the needed areas. Namely her siblings names have changed and turns out Hymo isn't a traditional type, so she wouldn't have a padawan braid. However I can have it where Sish cut off a chuck of her braid, and Calista can use that. Easy fix.
From the first skim with what you have so far, I can tell you that you might want to go into a bit more depth of your flaws. Like how they affect her and show, and any other information you think should be noted. A few more inform on her basics, which include limitations or weaknesses in key areas. A few more skills outside combat and possibly more unique to her would be nice. ;) However, the rough draft looks very nice in the early stages.

I can make those changes tomorrow. Though, may I ask what you mean by skills unique to her?
Also, I think it's fair to warn and say that once school starts in late January, I'm going to be getting really busy and may have trouble making posts.

If worse comes to worse, we can possible put your Character to the sidelines to allow you to pick up when you can.
As for skills unique to her, I mean skills outside Jedi focused ones. Like Jayda has skills in tracking, reading body language, and survival in the wilderness. (though much of that isn't listed as it's in her bio. >,<)
Name: Corr Halcard Species: Red Sith (24% Imperial Human) Age: 20 Gender: Male Faction: Sith Empire Rank: Apprentice (Nearly an Inquisitor) Master: Sith Lord Sish
Appearance:
Has a common imperial accent. Stands at 6 foot 3 inches or a little taller than 1.8 meters.
Lightsabers
The right one is longer than the left by about 10 inches
Notable Characteristics of Species:
Natural Affinity for the force
Flaws:
Suspicious- Due to past experiences, Corr isn't likely to trust anyone. Technologically Inept- Computers do not bend to Corr's will like the force does. Arrogant- While smart in the long run, Corr's overconfidence in his combat abilities may catch up to him one day. Resents Owing Anyone- Corr hates owing anyone favors, so if he owes you a favor, he'll probably not like you. Just like he doesn't like his Father.
Skills:
Form I- Schii-Cho Form VI- Niman Double Bladed Training- Trained in wielding two lightsabers, one slightly shorter than the other, with Form VI to maximize the effectiveness of combat. Inquisitor Training- Has skill and experience in interrogation and has extensive knowledge of the anatomies of most known species. Tactical Aptitude- Has a natural talent for tactical action, some say from his Mother who is an Imperial Navy Commander and skilled tactician. But he still has much to learn. Competent Pilot- He can fly a fighter no problem, but if he's surrounded and outnumbered, there might be a problem. Budding Politician- As Corr gets older, he's starting to realize the importance of politics in the empire. He's slowly but surely picking up all the quirks and skills needed to make his way up the hierarchy. Psychological Warrior- Being an Inquisitor, Corr understands all too well the importance of psychological warfare. A good part of his Inquisitor training was spent learning to break down the enemy without even touching them.
Force capabilities:
Basic Sith Powers Force Persuade (Intimidation)- Being Over 6 feet tall and having the permanent look of irritation, Corr can be fairly intimidating. Usually all it takes is a nudge in the right direction for some suspects. While the force is a powerful influence in of itself, Corr still has to use some of his own tactics to help it along, especially with stronger willed species. Force Choke- The embodiment of anger and passion, Corr finds this useful when he needs to threaten someone. Or simply shut them up. Force Fear- One of Corr's favorite in interrogation, delving into someone's mind and making their fears a reality is a precise art, one Corr has yet to master. True masters can make someone's fears apaer in front of them without even being in the same room, but Corr is far from a master. He has to maintain eye contact and pour all of his negative feeling into deep concentration. Force Lightning- The Dark Side in all of it's power, Corr uses Force Lightning when he wants someone to bend to him. Whether by wounding them or killing them. Detoxify Poison- Being as suspicious as Corr is, he decided it would be beneficial to learn this ability in case he makes an enemy of a coward who won't challenge him in combat.
Biography:
Corr was born on Dromund Kaas in 3673 BBY. His Mother was an Imperial Officer and his father a promising Sith apprentice. From a very young age, Corr showed to be very strong in the force and was given to the Sith by his parents when he was 5. From there he lived and breathed the empire. He was raised in the academy, more often than not excelling at many subjects. But while he was exceptional, he was also a powder keg waiting to explode. No doubt due to his father's own temper, which was famous for cutting down Jedi in it's fury. Sometimes it took a lot, like a pack of students who thought they could handle some lone sith. Or it took very little, like a droid bumping into him on his way to the mess.
Either way, he earned a reputation of being unpredictable and dangerous. Some instructors recognized his potential and how much more dangerous he could be if he could control his rage and passion (And more than likely a promotion for teaching a promising young sith.) They also realized a young sith powder keg was a recipe for disaster. And so Corr began training in Schii-Cho to discipline him. After some time, the instructors realized he was much more at home with two blades and when he was about 8 he began training in Niman.
Along with his lightsaber training, Corr's strong connection to the force gave him an advantage and his harsh, yet intelligent nature made his a good candidate for inquisitor. So he was taken under the wing of Ular Obesti, an inquisitor. They trained for several years together and Ular taught Corr everything he knew. But Ular had a secret Corr did not know about. Corr's Sith Lord Father was Ular's rival and Ular had been waiting for years to get back at him. No one would bat an eye over a dead apprentice. He attempted to kill Corr in his sleep. But Corr was attuned heavily into the force and when Ular attacked him, his danger sense triggered.
A fierce saber battle ensued, but it was becoming increasingly clear that Corr would be killed. At that moment his father, who had been secretly tracking Corr's progress and simultaneously keeping an eye on his rival , stepped in and slew Ular. It was over in a second. His father's infamous rage destroyed Ular. Corr's father saved him, but was disappointed by his son's weakness and took the blame, claiming Ular was a weak fool and his ambition far exceeded his power and capabilities. Due to his political pull, Lord Halcard received a minor punishment, barely worth mentioning.
Corr resented owing his father, who had only spoke to him a few times throughout his life. His mother, a commander in the Imperial Navy, was much more supportive. Corr had survived but the feelings of abandonment, betrayal, and disgust Corr felt ensured he would trust no one for a long time. Corr knew then that only the strong survived and he was determined to thrive in this unforgiving universe.
Not long after the death of his former mentor did he meet Zanna, a fellow Inquisitor. While certainly not the most intimidating and definitely not the most powerful, Corr could tell she was smart and dangerous, in her own way. So he decided to make friends with her, which was made easier considering he was majority Red Sith as well. He shared her interests and built on her Red Sith superiority complex.
He inquired about her research and shared some meaningless gossip with her, and soon she began to warm up to him, though he knew he would have to do more if she was to stay loyal. He would need friends if he was to become stronger. Though Zanna wasn't the most influential of the sith, he had a feeling she would prove a valuable ally later on. Of course this was all to his benefit, he didn't actually care for her and would toss her away if something better happened along. Around this time, his mother, Lieutenant Commander Isla Halcard was assigned a high command position in The Kaggath.
Despite training to be an Inquisitor, Corr has always found lightsaber combat more thrilling than torture, interrogation, or even using the force as a whole. Which is why he's focused on training with lightsabers just as much as he's trained with his force abilities. He believes body should be just as strong as mind.
Corr was sent on several assignments after that, mostly to see his progress in the field. As predicted he thrived and by his 19th year he had already killed a Jedi knight and his padawan, while recovering intel on Jedi movements. The most prominent of his assignments though was to the sacking of Coruscant where he was to hunt down some surviving Jedi and report to Sith Lord Sish on the Kaggath, unbeknownst to Corr, Sish picked him out from a list of prospective apprentices. When he learned Zanna would be aboard as well, it was somewhat of a relief, it can be so hard to make friends sometimes...
Personality and/or Motivation:
Harsh, power-hungry, suspicious, these all describe Corr. He wants to be the strongest, to get to the point where he doesn't have to fight for his life, because in a universe where the weak are destroyed and the strong remain supreme, what other choice is there? He believes every living thing has the potential to become powerful, which is why weaklings infuriate and anger him. He's arrogant, but smart. He may overestimate himself, but he never underestimates others. He understands the necessity of allies and will try to make a friend rather than an enemy. But if making a friend means making an enemy stronger than he is, he may not make a friend at all. What angers him the most though is betrayal. If you cross him, it may be the last thing you ever do.
Player’s long term goals:
Become an apprentice of Darth Nyiss. Become the strongest and thrive.
Relations:
Zanna, Fellow Inquisitor Darth Nyiss, by reputation Sith Lord Sish, Master Sith Lord Halcard, Father
Final Point - Secrets:
His father killed a fellow Sith Lord to save his life.
Revamped bio and slightly vamped skills, particularly in the tactician skill. @Fallenreaper,@Ellri, and SunderedEcho.
