Mx Inferno and Whoami - The Rule of Two

Karnus casually removed his thumb from the button on his lightsaber, the blade retracting into itself with a sharp noise as he stepped back from the doorway, the shadows obscuring him once more, save for the red glow of Shae's lightsabers glinting off the emblems on his robes.

“Go then, little fallen jedi. I will wait.” He said, folding his arms in front of him as he leaned back against the metal wall of the ship. This would be a good opportunity for him to determine just how capable she was, a useful thing to know if their later discussion came to blows.

He had to admit he was somewhat surprised she even knew of the Sith. According to the galaxy they'd been extinct for nearly a thousand years, though he supposed the Jedi might learn of such things still. Of course the fact that she thought herself a Sith... That was laughable. He decided if she proved herself here, perhaps he would make a true Sith out of her.

The first thing he saw when the metal door collapsed onto the floor was the glow of two red lightsabers. This wasn't the Jedi he had expected, but rather something else. Something far more interesting than another holier-than-though Jedi to be hunted down and slain. He didn't attack right away, instead behind his emotionless mask he took in the sight of the girl before him, her body and face said she was young, but her eyes said she had been through more than her years would let on. The only sound between them for a moment was the hum of lightsabers, and their breathing, his metallic and amplified by his mask.

“You have no idea what you are getting yourself into, young one.” He finally spoke, raising his lightsaber. “If you have no ties to the Jedi, then I have no quarrel with you. But if you have even the most remote force sense, you know I can destroy you. Stand down and we can talk.”

Karnus looked around the dimly-lit ships cargo room as he finished ascending the ramp, pressing the button to retract it when he finished. He didn't want his prey to escape him, and that was one less exit to worry about. Now that it was clear he wasn't going to be ambushed in this room he retrieved his lightsaber from his belt, hidden underneath a thick black cloak over his decorated robes.

His thumb hovered over the ignition button of his saber, not yet pressing it as he didn't want to give away his presence, but ensuring he was prepared if she became aware of him on the ship with her. Behind his reflective mask his eyes closed, reaching out with the force to search for her. When he only detected one living thing on board, it became clear where she was, and he began making his way through the cramped corridors of the ship towards the passenger compartment.

The door was locked, of course. He hadn't expected otherwise but seeing as he didn't know the code it seemed it was time to give away his presence, pressing the button of his lightsaber and holding it in place, the crimson blade humming to life as he took the hilt in two hands, pushing the end of the blade through the edge of the durasteel door and beginning to cut away at it.

Well hopefully we can at least get the core group online long enough to get Team Avatar together.

Normally an exchange like that wouldn't have drawn even the slightest bit of attention from Karnus, such interactions were common on Tatooine. But that so-called mercenary was practically reeking of the Force, and that meant she was most likely a Jedi. And when he encountered a lone Jedi in a far away place like Tatooine, he would hunt them down and destroy them. One less Jedi in the world could only mean good things in his eyes.

He didn't need to look to see where anyone was going, and he knew the Jedi would be waiting in that spaceship. Curious that she was working with someone else, though he supposed a Jedi this far into the outer rim would be likely working undercover. He suspected that pilot would be his way on board, but if he didn't order something soon the bartender was likely to make a scene.

“I'll have a Jawa beer.” His voice was deep, and somehow hearing it made those around him oddly nervous. The bartender, normally a quite jovial Gran, simply nodded and turned away to retrieve the drink. In the meantime Karnus kept an eye on the man called Tendo.

After a few hours he watched the pilot get up to leave the cantina, following him shortly afterwards. He didn't even bother to hide his body, the Force ensured that his target wouldn't pay him any mind. His face was again obscured behind the insectoid weather-mask, a deep red HUD displaying variables her currently cared nothing about.

When the man arrived at his ship it was beginning to get dark out for the short period that Tatooine's suns allowed, the perfect moment for Karnus. He watched the man input a code onto his freighter, a somewhat uncommon, relic model at this point, but no doubt upgraded to make it on par with more modern vessels. When Tendo finished inputting the code, the ramp began opening, and Karnus made his move.

The entire action happened in seconds, with Karnus silently approaching from behind and igniting his deep red Lightsaber at an angle, leaving a smoldering, cauterized hole through Tendos skull, and retracting the blade so quickly that it was out of the way by the time the lifeless body fell to the floor with a sandy thump. Within a second Karnus was striding up the cargo ramp, seemingly completely unaware of his surroundings and easily open to ambush, but in reality his strong Force Sense allowed him to watch over everything around him, while masking his own. To Shae he would simply come across as a typical thuggish murderer, perhaps one of the ones she had fought off earlier come to try and kill her in her sleep.

Vaeren Mord, Darth Karnus

Species:
Human

Age:
37

Eye color:
Black

Hair color:
Black

Height:
6'2"

Weight:
211 LBS

Other:
His body is riddled with a variety of scars, both from his upbringing and Sith training.

Personality:
Vaeren holds a surprisingly calm exterior for a Sith, though underneath his facade he is boiling with the emotions that drive him and give him strength. He uses this control over his emotions to surprise people with sudden outbursts of pure passion, whether it be in conversation or in battle empowering his use of the force. He truly hates the Jedi, and to a lesser extent the Republic, and will do anything in his power to see them brought to their knees even if it takes a hundred or a thousand years.

Bio:
Vaeren was the third son of a family of Dantooinian farmers and grew up as the butt of his brothers often abusive and harmful pranks. By the time he had reached young adulthood he had resigned himself to a life of such torment, until he met a girl near his age, and they fell in love, slipping off to get married in secret. He lived a happy life for several years until a rebellion began on Dantooine, with his wifes family supporting the rebels. His wife was taken in for questioning under Jedi observation, and a freak accident resulted in her death, which Vaeren blamed the Jedi for. Still unknown to him is the fact that his wifes death was orchestrated by a Sith Lord who had taken an interest in Vaeren, and used the death of his wife to spur his anger and hatred, having already sensed his affinity with the Force. His training was brutal, requiring almost constant focus and he was often attacked by his Sith Master at random to enhance his skills, resulting in scars from a variety of weapons. His Master fueled Vaeren's hatred of the Jedi by setting up a variety of encounters showing the Jedi in a poor light, some true and some orchestrated. Finally, during a mission to Coruscants inner workings, his Master attacked him in their typical training regime. The battle was hard fought and it became clear that this was a battle to the death, with the backdrop of Coruscants heavy machinery pumping molten metal and steam as they fought for nearly an hour, finally resulting in Vaeren catching his Master in a trap, burying him in molten durasteel and claiming the title of Dark Lord of the Sith.

Equipment:
Lightsaber: Vaeren uses a specialized lightsaber. The hilt is of a fairly standard length but contains a springlock that can be released to extend it into a long-handled lightsaber. It's also an early form of Dual-Phase saber, with the springlocked hilt extending or retracting the blade as well.

Karnus stepped out of the spaceport, taking in the sights of the infamous Mos Eisley. The port-city was bustling with traffic, both speeder and foot vying for the unmarked roadways through a jumble of dome-roofed, sand-colored buildings. Karnus' face was hidden behind practical weather-protection mask in case a dust storm happened to pick up during his visit.

Tatooine was one of the last places he had expected to visit, but he'd heard rumors through some of his sources that a Sith Holocron was hidden somewhere on the planet. Not that that helped much, combing a gigantic desert for a single holocron wasn't something he intended to do, but Mos Eisley was a place where information could be gathered easily and people wouldn't think twice about his line of questioning, especially if they were paid. Besides, he had no intention of leaving any loose ends afterwards. Murder wasn't likely to be looked into deeply on Mos Eisley, either.

With those thoughts in mind he strode towards the cantina, his imposing height and build, not to mention his heavy aura of power, resulting in him being given a wide berth by the oncoming traffic. It didn't take much time to reach the large building, it was practically the first thing you saw coming out of the spaceport after all. He removed his mask as he stepped inside the darkly lit building, making his way towards the bar as he quietly made note of the various people inside.

Yeah same. I'm really glad Pyroman invited me back, this RP definitely has potential and I felt really sucky about having to disappear.

Mai hadn't had time to to respond before the mysterious woman arrived, and at that point her training kicked in. She knew there was probably no chance of her winning this fight, especially since her opponent had the advantage of surprise in this case, and she doubted a hiding spot would last her very long here. Her only real option was to follow Erok, it seemed.

The sudden steam interrupted her thoughts as she was cloaked in an obscuring cloud. This was exactly what she needed. She couldn't see where Erok was going so she was just going to have to trust her gut and hope she'd meet up with him again before they left the island. She quickly struck a stance, one foot hitting the sandy beach hard, the other turning as she bent a crumbly, sand statue of herself in front of her, the second movement propelling her away from the water woman and trying to keep the steam between her and her opponent as she fled the beach, watching out in the hopes that she'd see Erok on the way to the town.

Alright, I'm done with school officially now and Pyroman said it was okay if I brought my character back into things. Really sorry for my disappearance. Gonna get a post up really soon.
