Odras the Blackfeather

Name: Odras the Blackfeather

Rank: Ghoul, technically, but with a consciousness

Description: Odros' skin is most likely charred and half melted off the bone, but it is impossible to see because his entire form is encased in mangled, and charred plate armor that was warped by magical flame. Where it was partially melted and then cooled one again it has reformed in strange slightly bubbled patterns in place. In the flames, his armor was also grafted and melded to him. He is a towering, striking figure in his state. Even his sword is twisted and distorted, yet effective if only because of his newfound, unnatural strength.

Background: Odras is an anomaly and, despite merely being a ghoul, remembers his previous life, at least in bits and pieces. He remembers the flames that consumed him and his men. He was a mercenary commander and led one of the last pockets of resistance to be snuffed out. He had brought together warriors from several territories and kingdoms that had fallen and led them in a final stand. They had called him the Vagrant Knight because he apparently held no banners from any kingdom himself, but he earned the respect of the scattered warriors from other lands. The passion he felt in defending his home and fellow man had somehow not been consumed in the fire and waves of undead that tore them apart. Now he shambles about the land in the scorched remains of his armor, wielding a charred, twisted sword. He seeks others from his ranks in life, hoping he can somehow spark the same nature in them. He is now called the Blackfeather because crows seem to flock to him, forming dark clouds overhead wherever he goes.

Star Wars: The Heretic

Open Space near the Bitter End, aboard The Archaic.

---

Astroth set his glass of Deychin tea down on the surface of the holotable as he read through what information he could gather about this asteroid city he was going to, the Bitter End. To him it seemed little more than a Hutt outpost, differing negligibly at best, other than the battle droids it churned out from factories in its depths. That bit was fascinating, and Astroth wouldn’t mind getting a look at them to see if they matched the actual units used during the Clone Wars he’d dug up around the galaxy. That would have to wait, of course. He was only traveling to this cesspool because Callidus was reportedly there currently, with an item or items of interest supposedly taken from the Emperor himself. This alone was enough to bring Astroth halfway across the galaxy just to see what Callidus could have, but he had also been tracking the enigma of a man for some time because of the rumors that surrounded him and his exploits. If they were true, Callidus had some knowledge in the Force, knowledge he may be willing to pass on to Astroth. The relics and texts he had gathered so far were sufficient enough to teach him the very basics of the Force and how to manipulate and use it, especially with the ability he seemed to have to able to handle an object and see visions of its past, the people who utilized it, even how or why it was used. These visions of his tended to come in flashes and left impressions of thought and emotion more than the images themselves on his mind, but over time he had learned how to interpret some of them and wade his way through learning to use the Force. There was only so far he could get on his own, and much to his chagrin any artifacts or texts from the Jedi and Sith were much more difficult to find now because of the Empire’s policing of such items.

He sipped at his tea absentmindedly for a moment before setting the datapad down on the holotable. With the flick of a finger, he sent a small pulse through the Force and turned the table on. A map of the galaxy sprang into life hovering over the table’s polished, round surface. Using the controls, he zoomed in until he pulled up the section of space where the Bitter End was said to be located. On the standard map, there was just empty space there. When he switched over to the datastick he had procured, however, a blip fizzled into existence near the symbol that marked his ship’s location. The city was nestled in the center of the asteroid field. He was close enough to travel in real space rather than hyperspace and should arrive within a few hours, though his ship’s navcomputer displayed a warning regarding the asteroid field. That would prove to be an obstacle. With a sigh, he set his tea back down on the table’s edge and leaned forward to examine the field more closely. A crew, or at the very least a hired pilot, would be useful for this very instance. Half fondly, Astroth thought of the few times he had hired a crew and chartered a ship, but it was better he have his own ship to store the relics he did have and to train in peace and secrecy. He was no fool and knew even though he was by no means a Jedi, that he would still be hunted down.

With a small gesture from Astroth, the tea cup lifted from the table and floated through the air shakily and settled into the washing unit nearby. He clicked his tongue as his own form. Definitely needed to practice levitating objects more. Perhaps he could get some practice while searching for Callidus at the Bitter End, in secret of course. With another wave of his hand as he got to his feet, the holotable shut off. Staring at the asteroid field any longer would not help him navigate it any better. He would only overthink the whole endeavor, and to get through the field without crashing he would need to have a clear head. First, though, the long silver robes he wore would need to be traded for a simple black tunic and loose-fitting pants as well as simple boots and a dark, hooded cloak. Blending in would be much easier this way, though the slightly glimmering shimmersilk was his style of choice. He hung them alongside other robes of a similar make in varying colors and patterns then went into the cockpit and settled himself into the pilot’s seat. The sleek finish of his ship would also need to be changed for the final approach toward the Bitter End. The Archaic luckily had a custom cloaking device installed, one that changed the physical appearance of the ship to look more rundown. This had proven useful and necessary over the years as he found himself in areas similar to the Bitter End as he hunted relics and information with equal fervor.

As the asteroid field loomed closer, tumbling across the viewport, Astroth closed his eyes and cleared his mind. Even with his meager abilities he could feel the web of the Force around him, swirling through everything. Straining slightly, he latched onto a strand of the ethereal web and let his perception be pulled along as if by a river. He could feel the gaps between the asteroids as they floated through space, some crashing into one another before drifting apart again. Opening his eyes again, he moved his ship into the asteroid field. His concentration strained as he kept hold of that strand of the Force running through the field before him, and he followed it, moving through gaps in the asteroid moments after they formed. By the time the massive asteroid housing the Bitter End came into view, his brow was damp with sweat, and he was breathing as though he had just been running. Relief washed over him as he let the strand of the Force go and set down in one of the many docking bays of the city. Despite the strain he had put himself through, Astroth still felt elated at what he had done. His skill was growing, there was no doubt, but he could still improve. Even now, without actively directing his perception through the Force, he could feel the life of the city moving about outside of his ship and even larger ripples nearby. That was interesting, and he would have to investigate them, but after he rested.

Star Wars: The Heretic

Name: Astroth Kas'serin

Species: Arkanian

Sex: Male

Profession: Archeologist/Historian

Reason for being present in the Bitter End: Seeking possible tutelage from Callidus or at least a chance to study what he “acquired” from the Emperor's vault.

Looks

Personality Description: Some would describe Astroth as an arrogant man, but he would describe himself as driven and confident. Because of this those around him believe he is transparent and vapid, but this is far from the truth. Despite his apparent arrogance, Astroth is a skilled liar, much better at manipulating and navigating a conversation than people think he is. He fervently, some would say obsessively, seeks out historical texts on both the Jedi and the Sith, ones left intact and uncensored from the hands of the Empire. In his pursuit he has become accustomed to navigating black markets in various systems and has developed relationships with information brokers across the galaxy.

Character bio:

• Raised in relative luxury, not quite noble but father was a higher up in Czerka Corp.
• Became obsessed with history and “taboo” subjects such as the ancient Sith and the Jedi.
• Studied to be an archeologist and historian.
• Discovered ancient Sith artifacts and realized he was Force-Sensitive.
• Used the ancient texts and artifacts he found to minimally train himself to use the Force.

Star Wars: The Heretic

I'm also interested if you have room for one more?

The Blighted Kingdom

I'm still here. I've just had a lack of motivation recently. As for a Discord, I personally don't care for them and usually end up muting them except for mentions.

𝙴𝚟𝚎𝚛𝚐𝚛𝚎𝚎𝚗 𝙾𝚗 𝙷𝚒𝚐𝚑 - 𝙷𝚘𝚛𝚛𝚘𝚛 𝚂𝚕𝚞𝚖𝚋𝚎𝚛𝚜 𝙸𝚗 𝙾𝚛𝚋𝚒𝚝

Cyberpunk and Lovecraftian tones. This looks interesting. If you have room for more, I am tentatively interested in joining based on other games and workloads irl.

Star Wars: Legacies (Always Open)

I was hoping someone would use that Battledroid image. I would have been forced to make a character based off it myself had someone not.

Star Wars: Legacies (Always Open)

Senator Celdoth Vodro

Character's name: Celdoth Vodro

Race: Duros

Faction: Independent System Movement (publicly)

Character Alignment: Lawful Evil

Character Background: Celdoth was not always the Senator of Kwenn or the Lord of its criminal element. He started life as a street urchin, running with gangs unger the tail of one of the local Hutts. He had a knack for knowing what his superiors wanted to hear, and used that talent to climb the ladder of the underworld. The Hutt lord grew to like him and gave him command of his own gang, an arm of the Hutt’s territory. Besides the criminals he rubbed elbows with, there were also the Imperials occupying Kween and its station. He kept on their good side as well, which made his own business much easier to conduct, and that reflected well on his reputation with the Hutts. A good reputation with them meant more power for him, and he eventually became a lesser crime lord under them.

All of that changed when the Empire fell, though. The Empire left a power vacuum that was filled with the Remnant, and the Rebellion became the New Republic. Kwenn went back to the Hutts, but Celdoth saw his chance. After living under Imperial rule for so long, the Hutts’ power had dwindled just enough. He squeezed his way in, using his ex-Imperial contacts and formed his own network across different systems. Through that network he heard whispers of systems wanting neither New Republic nor Imperial Remnant rule. Using his influence and charisma he climbed his way to Senator of Kwenn.

The Hutts tried to move in and blackmail him into being their puppet, but he had different plans. He turned most of the criminal element on the Hutts and used his Senatorial position to form task forces equipped to bring the Hutts to heel. He essentially wiped them out and became the Crime Lord of Kwenn and its station. Those in his employ as Senator also serve him in a criminal capacity. There are suspicions that he is the Crime Lord of Kwenn, but there is no proof to those claims. To the public he is Senator Celdoth Vodro, the voice for the people’s independence.

With his dual role and vast network, he reached out and contacted those whispering for something different. He and the others formed the Independent System Movement. The council of Independent Senators have been in contact with the New Republic and Imperial Remnant. There are talks of a fleet being formed to defend that independence as well a possible election for a Chairman. Rumors surround the election, rumors of Celdoth almost assuredly being nominated.

Character Personality: Celdoth is a boisterous and charismatic figure. He comes off as friendly, and it’s difficult for some to not like him the more they talk with him or at least come to not outwardly hate him. Beneath this charismatic exterior, he is an expert at manipulating and reading the people around him. He can switch from charismatic and friendly to cold and unreadable. He distrusts everyone he meets, and is constantly analyzing and reading them in an attempt to figure out what they want. Celdoth got to where he is not by trusting, but by knowing how to exploit and manipulate the people he meets. He is not above blackmail or even hiring people to take out his enemies.
