After reading the Zabrak backgrounds......I think I will make a more of a hand to hand fighter. Maybe something that would resemble a Tera Kasi (sp?). I would love to hear ideas on how to make one since it's not exactly in the Saga book.

KM-85, Killing Machine 85 series. Built for battle and combat about 12 decades ago, this series have been discontinued. However, some of this units are been found among the space trash, and this particular unit was found in a space destroyed ship.
Its behavior have been quite erratic since it reactivation, though its destructive tendency seems to please its new sith master.
It has been assigned to one of the students, and have developed a strange sense of protectiveness towards him/her master.
Droid, soldier. Will have a sheet by tomorrow.

Kered Rinos Background (advice/critics welcome):
[sblock]
Kered was born on Iridonia, to a single mother named Shren. They were never really close, as he viewed her as a weak person. She struggled to survive. She could not fight very well. The older he got the more he hated her. She was weakness personified.
Every day he trained in the martial ways of his homeworld. He survived the wilderness, he survived his hand to hand contests. Every fight, he envisioned weakness. He envisioned his mother struggling to put food on their table and even going so far as to accept food from others!
He was forced to leave his homeworld when he killed another Iridonian during a supposedly friendly contest. When asked why he killed the boy, he replied that the "boy was too weak to live, and earned his own fate."
The colony held a council to decide his fate. He was to be exiled. He almost laughed when they announced his fate. He had planned to leave this pathetic planet when he could anyway. He wanted to be a Sith. He had heard the stories of their power and longed to hold it in his own hands.
A trader vessel landed near the colony a few weeks later. It was to be his passage off that cursed planet. The colony paid the traders to take him away, but did not say to where. Kered managed to half-threaten them into taking him to the Emperor himself. It was the only place he knew to find the Sith.
He never bothered to learn the name of his Sith master, as he figured he would kill him as soon as possible anyway. Darth Krayt was the one he looked up to. He was ruthless, wise, and most importantly, strong. Kered wanted to be him. He was also smart enough to know he must serve to learn. And so his story began..........
[/sblock]
He is prideful and rather arrogant. I am trying to make him a hand to hand fighter, but still have to figure out how to. I will try to have a character sheet up sometime either late late tonight or by tomorrow afternoon. Whether I make it or not, thank you for the chance and encouragement.

Do you mean hand to hand fighter as in melee combat, or unarmed combat? Note that since Sith Apprentice is required (for non droid characters), lightsaber proficiency is also required. That can tend to crowd out other melee options a bit - of course, the defensive benefits of Martial Arts would apply even if actually attacking unarmed was secondary.

I was thinking unarmed. Maybe someone who views a lightsaber as more of a tool than a weapon.
I am new to this, sorry. I am stewing over the book trying to figure out the best way to get this to work. If you think it may be biting off more than I can chew, I could switch him to a melee (probably a double bladed weapon or two weapon style).
Thank you for helping me!

The various Grappling feats (Trip+Throw or Pin+Crush) would work well for an unarmed character. Your direct damage abilities with unarmed attacks would be weaker than with a weapon (base 1d10 damage with Martial Arts III), but your character would have more Reflex defense than standard because of those feats. Plus the grappling related feats can be really helpful for setting up other characters.
As far as talents go, the Soldier has useful stuff - expert grappler would be nice, and Unbalance Opponent can really screw up opposing melee type fighters by negating brute strength. Plus there's the weapon master tree. Mixing in Scout could grant some better defenses or mobility. Scoundrel has some options for increasing the effectiveness of your attacks (Sneak Attack or Dastardly Strike), reducing the impact of your lower base damage. Jedi provides the needed lightsaber proficiency and a useful talent - Elusive Target or Deflect would reduce the chance of getting shot.

Thank you very much. I will probably try to find a good combination of scout and soldier. I really do appreciate the help!

I decided to go with a dual weapon approach. It seems more flashy, which I think Kered would enjoy. Thanks for the advice on the unarmed though. I may still do some of that.

Darnit. I have four different consepts brewing in my mind. I'll post short consepts so if you would tell me which you like best ShaggySpellsword, I can make full character submission. I like them all equally so I really don't have preference over any.
[sblock=Cassus Gev; Soldier/Jedi/Sith Apprentice]Mandalorian, a descendant of Mirta Gev. Fully trained mandalorian warrior who was found to be force sensitive. He joined the sith and was trained in the use of force. For the honour of his clan he still prefers to use the name Gev, even though he was given a new sith name.[/sblock]
[sblock=Joran; Jedi/Soldier/Jedi Knight/Sith Apprentice]It is said that every Imperial Knight who was in the palace when Darth Krayt took the throne were killed. And from a certain point of view this is true. Certainly the man you see before you is nothing like the Knight who was known as Joran Dusat. Joran was converted to the order by Darth Krayt himself and sent to Korriban to learn under the masters there.[/sblock]
[sblock=Gee Dan Danga; Jedi/Sith Apprentice]A gunga. Gee Dan was found to be force sensitive early in his youth and was supposed to become a jedi. But while the master who was coming to fetch him was on the way, a sith lord framed an accident that "killed" Gee Dan. He took Danga to Korriban to be raised by the sith. (I know a Gunga can be a bit silly idea but I fully intend him to be serious character. I was rather thinking that he would be proficient in speaking basic "normally" since he was raised from very young age by the sith. He might use a strange word or grammar on occasion but usually speak normally.)[/sblock]
[sblock=Garokka; Scout/Jedi/Sith Apprentice]Wookiee. Garokka's rage led him to the dark side and a sith lord found this slave from a gladiator pit ripping of heads of his opponents. He sensed the force in Garokka and bought him to be brought to the order. Officially Garokka is the property of this lord but he hates his master from the bottom of his heart and fully intends to slay him if he ever becomes mighty enough to succeed.[/sblock]
