				<strong>Name:</strong><br>&nbsp;Erobas<br><br><strong>Race:</strong><br>&nbsp;Sith Pureblood<br><br><strong>Age:</strong><br>28<br><br><strong>Appearance:</strong> <br>(http://cs405230.userapi.com/v405230750/27/_Z3k6tmlNxQ.jpg)<br><br><strong>Planet of Origin:</strong> <br>Dromund Kaas<br><br><strong>Position:</strong> <br>Sith Lord (still apprenticed)<br><br><strong>Abilities: </strong> <br>Simple knowledge of the Force and force usage, master of Juyo form lightsaber combat.<br><br><strong>Personality:</strong> <br>Regal, narcissistic, and domineering. Erobas believes himself a form of royalty, being born of a storied bloodline of the Sith and it shows in his personality. Which is entirely self centered and over confident, as well as confrontational. He is also a very driven individual, feeling he doesn't receive the respect he deserves, and is willing to go to any lengths to gain more power and renown in The Empire.<br><br><strong>Bio/Background:</strong> <br>Erobas was born the only son of Darth Moros V. A storied title in the history of the Sith. It has been a title passed down for five generations, and Erobas is next in line for it. However, he was born a bastard to a sickly and lowly mother of weak and impure blood. And birthing him cost her own life. Since, his father has hated him and thought him unworthy to be his heir. Regardless, he was made Moros’ apprentice when he was but a child and has been training in the Dark Side since. He possesses a relatively weak affinity to the Force, as his real strength is in martial combat. A true master of Juyo form who prefers to use two light sabers, Lord Erobas is a deadly storm in a fight not to be taken lightly. <br><br><hr><br><strong>Name:</strong><br>Darth Moros<br><br><strong>Race:</strong><br>Sith Pureblood<br><br><strong>Age:</strong><br>56<br><br><strong>Appearance:</strong> <br>(http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20120706012750/swfanon/images/f/f6/Swtor-sith-pureblood.png)<br><br><strong>Planet of Origin:</strong><br>Korriban<br><br><strong>Position:</strong> <br>Darth<br><br><strong>Abilities: </strong><br>Powerful force sensitive with decades of training in the Dark Side. He possesses many deadly abilities, as well is a master of Shien lightsaber combat.<br><br><strong>Personality:</strong> <br>Sadistic, power hungry, and manipulative. Moros is a smooth talker who always gets what he wants, in one way or another. His ambition knows little end, as he's been clawing his way up the Sith ranks since apprenticeship, by whatever means necessary.<br><br><strong>Bio/Background:</strong> Moros V was born on Korriban, and didn't leave the planet for another fifteen years. Training since the time he could walk to become a powerful Sith like his father, and his father before him dating back five generations. Each bore the same title as he now holds, a name that carried great weight in the past. But now Moros finds himself&nbsp; is an unforeseen circumstance. The Dark council is nearly vacant save for a few members, and he has coveted a seat alongside the greatest Sith in all the Empire, and is willing to go to any lengths to&nbsp; gain it.<br><br><hr><br><strong>Name:</strong><br>Lanniston Solus<br><br><strong>Race:</strong><br>Human<br><br><strong>Age:</strong><br>40<br><br><strong>Appearance:</strong><br>(http://th02.deviantart.net/fs71/200H/f/2012/186/9/4/cipher_nine_by_karanan-d4yuh4e.jpg)<br><br><strong>Planet of Origin:</strong><br>Dromund Kaas<br><br><strong>Position:</strong> <br>Imperial officer, Captain of the Dreadnought The Achyles<br><br><strong>Abilities: </strong><br>Skilled in ship command, subterfuge, and proficient with short and long range firearms. Trained in hand to hand combat.<br><br><strong>Personality:</strong> <br>Lanniston is a “by the book” military captain as it were who's always served his Empire loyally. He speaks formally and demands respect when in the public light, but has a lighter side to himself he rarely shows.<br><br><strong>Bio/Background:</strong> <br>Born into a military family, Lanniston immediately joined Imperial Intelligence as soon as he could enlist. And he has been working his way up in the origination since. After a decade of a spotless service record he was reassigned into the navy and given a captain's command of a frigate. In three years he was granted command of The Achyles, one of the largest dreadnoughts in the Imperial fleet. He has held that position since, though it and the ship were almost lost once. If not for the actions of Darth Moros, who boarded an attacking Republic vessel and disabled the ship before it could destroy The Achyles, which was severely damaged. Since then Lanniston has held Darth Moros in high regard and considers him a friend, even if Moros may not feel the same.<br>

				Name: Telen Notay<br><br>Age: 20<br><br>Race: Clawdite (http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Clawdite)<br><br>Appearance: Telen's chosen form (http://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/d/d6/Human_NEGAS.jpg) and his&nbsp; &nbsp;true form (http://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/c/c1/203px-Clawdite.jpg). So anyone who has access to the training academy's files would know what he is but to anyone else he is just a human.<br><br>Planet of Origin: Zolan<br><br>Position: Apprentice<br><br>Abilities:&nbsp; <br>-&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Force persuasion<br>-&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Basic knowledge of for Telekinesis<br>-&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Adept lightsaber combat<br>-&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Skilled marksmanship that he learned while he was still a smuggler<br>-&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Adept at breaking into systems and adapting technology to meet his needs that was passed onto him from his parents.<br><br>Personality: Telen is intelligent and can be as cold and ruthless as he needs to be but will adept to have someones hands end up covered in blood whenever possible. He has killed in the past and even though he does a have a sadistic side he would rather stay out of the spotlight for most of the time.<br><br>Bio/Background: Telen was born on board a smugglers ship just a few day after his parents had escaped the ghettos on their home world of Zolan. His child hood was spent learning how to gain control over his ability as a changeling but after he had learnt how to keep one form constantly until his day was finished his parent's teachings slowed down and focused more on meditation and how to ignore distractions as well as dealing with that pain that came from changing.<br><br>By the time he was ten he had enough control over his abilities to pass as human so he started working with his parents on the smuggling ship that they had bought with what they had been able to save over the last ten years. He was finally able to explore the ports they traveled to without constant supervision form his parents. He had never been able to go far because he was not in full control of his form.<br><br>He noticed that with a select few individuals he was able to convince them to give him much more than the goods he was trading was worth. Other the years the ability grew more powerful. He caught the attention of an imperial agent who witnessed him trying unsuccessfully to bride a customs officer. The agent approached him later and explained what he could gain from going to Korriban and training as a Sith. He left with the imperial Agent a few days later and has been on Korriban training for the last three years.

				It&nbsp; slipped my mind to mention it earlier. But I slightly edited the opening post of the thread to add a first chapter title. I've began to formulate a rough plotline spanning several chapters and thought it would be a nice touch. <br><br>As an aside, I want to apologize to yasarra for the confusion over the thread opening. This is my first time leading a game, and I suppose I should have sent out a mass message that it had began, so again sorry to everyone. I'm learning, slowly but surely lol.

				<strong>Name:</strong> Temor Dominar<br><br><strong>Race:</strong> Human<br><br><strong>Appearance</strong>: <br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body">(http://i1099.photobucket.com/albums/g393/theredfear/Screenshots/Screenshot_2012-10-29_01_36_58_733242.jpg)<br>(http://i1099.photobucket.com/albums/g393/theredfear/Screenshots/Screenshot_2012-10-29_01_59_48_545591.jpg)<br>(http://i1099.photobucket.com/albums/g393/theredfear/Screenshots/Screenshot_2012-10-29_02_11_57_873306.jpg)</div></div><strong>Planet of Origin</strong>: Dromund Kaas<br><br><strong>Position</strong>: Darth<br><br><strong>Abilities:</strong> A master of single saber combat, Temor is an unstoppable juggernaut on the battlefield. He shrugs off wounds that would crush most people. Temor is also a master of unarmed combat, and has been known on several occasions to duel other Sith Lords without ever even bothering to draw his lightsaber. He is also very potent in both offensive and defensive telekinetic applications of the Force. He has developed his telekinetics into a rare technique allowing him to deflect even lightsaber strikes and blaster bolts with his barehands(Similar to how Satele blocks a Saber strike in the TOR "Hope" Cinematic, or how Vader deflected Han's blaster). He has furthermore learned how to fight while blinded, relying entirely on his sense of hearing and focus. Though he doesn't like politicing, he has a good knack for reading people which has kept him from succumbing to a number of betrayals and sabotages from those who thought they'd succesfully convinced him they were earnest allies. <br><br><strong>Personality:</strong> Temor is a curious and rare thing. An intelligent Sith. Frankly, most of his fellow Sith disgust him with their stupidity and incompetence. This opinion extends even to the Emperor himself, though Temor is wise enough not to make that thought known. <br><br>He does not engage in petty acts of wanton cruelty and barbarism. This only encourages rebellions amongst the masses, and even the mightiest Rancor can be brought low if enough Ewoks swarm it. He does not kill his slaves and subordinates over minor offenses or failings. That's just wasteful. <br><br>Temor often appears unusually calm and self-controlled for a Sith. Even in battle, he seems a silent engine of destruction and death. Many would think him a better candidate for the Jedi than the Sith...but those who think such are fools. Beneathe the calm surface, an inferno of passion burns. But he masters that passion, rather than allow it to master him as most of his fellow Sith do. <br><br>That passion does influence him in other ways though. Temor is a supremely prideful creature...something that riled his former Master many times...until Temor killed him. He has tempered it with discipline over the years but it is still a powerful driving force inside him. If he has a weakness it is that pride. So strong that when he duels other Sith he often doesn't even bother drawing his lightsaber until they demonstrate enough prowess to make him beleive they're worthy of that honor. His passions also compel him to take many lovers. <br><br>He constantly drives himself to be better. Honing his combat prowess, his political knowledge, his awareness, and more. <br><br>Bio/Background: <br>A born Prodigy. But considering his lineage who could expect less? The Dominar line is one of the eldest and most powerful in the entire Sith Empire, and Temor is regarded as the greatest product of House Dominar yet. Even as a child Temor was determined to prove that beleif beyond all doubt. He turned away from most of the petty distractions that wealth and privilage bring, indulging his passions only to nourish them as the source of his power.<br><br>He devoted himself to mastery of the Lightsaber, the Force, and of his own mind, body and will. He spent almost as much time in the library as he did in the training circle. More and more he grew contemptuous of his peers, seeing how they allowed themselves to be ruled by their passions...slaves cloaking themselves in the refinements of masters. True slaves are worthy of greater respect. At least they know their place, and can even attain their own kind of honor so long as they mind that place well. They do not delude themselves into thinking they are more than they are.&nbsp; <br><br>Indeed he soon found that the people most worthy of respect through the years were the Imperials he often commanded. The officers, agents, and even the rank and file grunts that made up the body of the Empire. Intelligent, disciplined, ruthless, and driven...traits he found sadly lacking in most Sith. He realized quickly that the only reason the Empire had never definitely crushed the Republic is because of the incompetent and petty buffoons to whom the Empire was beholden...his own fellow Sith. Pouring over military records he saw it time and again. Never spelled out blatantly of course, but if you were smart enough to read ebtween the lines you could not escape the pure truth of it. Time and again defeat was snatched from the jaws of victory because at the pivotal moment some Sith Lord betrayed another. Entire fleets sacrificed to Republic forces because some Sith or another withdrew his forces from the battlefield so that his rival could be humiliated. Failure after failure...all to be layed squarely at the feet of the so-called "Elite" of the Empire. <br><br>That was when he decided. He would climb the ranks. Until he was second only to the Emperor himself. He would reshape the Empire. Purge the Sith of incompetence and pettiness. And nobody...not even the Emperor himself if he opposed Temor's plans...would stop him from turning the Empire into the force for galactic dominance and order he knew it could be. He doesn't necessarily want the Throne...he suspects it will be more trouble than it's worth. But if he must become Emperor to finally deliver the Empire to greatness, so be it.&nbsp;

				That's alright Vaulera, and I must admit to allowing myself to become distracted and not giving this group as much attention as I should. Though I'll soon change that, and get back heavily involved. I will allow for characters to socialize, get to know one another, and so on before I push things forward towards the tournament however. That was the purpose behind not just going ahead and holding it on the current day. Also, I think it'd be a good idea for people to begin to spark conversation about the possibility of master and apprentice relationships, or other allegiances beggining to form here for the various characters. I'd like to hear any opinions or questions regarding the story going forward and such.

				I'm afraid i'll be dropping out as well.<br>Things just seem to be going a little too slow for my own personal taste, plus it seems we could have gone with a few extra characters to help kick this off, I mean, it's been over a week since anyone last posted on the IC thread, I understand RL can be an issue, but when things grind to a halt like that with no word, then, I lose interest.<br><br>Just say that Sa'na left the scene she was in and went to her ship. <br><br>Good luck anyway.
