Message: <blockquote data-quote="Douane" data-source="post: 3904452" data-attributes="member: 157">Moro'sai'VerisBackground:Veris was discovered only relatively late in her life to be force-sensitive - at the age of 23 - and even this merely by accident (or the will of the Force).Veris was born as a daughter to Moro'sai'Hirasi, the head of the Moro family, and therefore as a member of one of Devaron‘s most influential ruling families. However, at the age of 14 she deeply shamed her family by making her decision known to join the Kand'Vrabt, a minor spiritual sect preaching total pacifism and detachment from all worldy matters. For this she was denounced by her family and cast out.Nine years later the Watchman for Devaron space, the Kel Dor Jedi Knight Rota Tlo, made a routine visit to the captial of Devaron, Montellian Serat, when he suddenly sensed a beacon in the force - Veris. In order to recruit her for the Order Rota persuaded Veris that her immense potential would go to waste on Devaron while it could be boon for the whole galaxy. The day he and the young Devaronian left the planet, the name 'Veris' was struck forever from the List of the Faithful by the Kand'Vrabt.The next few years proved that this had been a wise decision as Moro'sai'Veris (away from Devaron she now used her full name again) learned with such speed and abilitiy to put many other students to shame. Inspired by Rota's example, who had relinquished his Watchman role in the meantime to become Veris‘ master, she aimed to become a Jedi Sentinel and Watchman. But to combat the Dark side, one has to understand ist nature and so Veris delved into the historical records of the Great Temple on Coruscant. There she studied the history of the New Jedi Order and, above all, the history of the man who had brought the Old Order to the brink of destruction. Darth Sidious. And though appalled by the turn of events, Veris couldn‘t help but notice how masterfully the whole plan to destroy the Jedi had been orchestrated.Then the war came to the Galactic Alliance and the Jedi Order. As it was fought mainly by fleet actions, Rota and Veris rarely ventured forth from Ossus where they had relocated to for Veris' knighting and further training - only once or twice after the Sith had revealed themselves. But the war finally found them in 130 ABY when a combined Imperial-Sith fleet appeared over the Jedi Academy on Ossus. Kol Skywalker‘s last stand made into the legends of the Jedi Order, but if Veris' story will ever be told, then merely as a warning for some younglings:Moro'sai'Veris defended one of the smaller internal hangars of the Academy, both the hangar itsewlf and the approach to it. Being a lightsaber combatant of mediocre skill at best, Veris relied on her skill with the Force to hold Imperials and Sith back. Though it should have been easy to simply collapse the entrance and the corridors leading up to it, Veris never wasted a thought on this option as it would have meant dooming those students still fleeing from their chambers above, among them the Zabrak Tiran Kolar - a Padawan whom she had fallen in love with on Ossus. But soon enough she began to tire as the enemies just kept coming and her grasp on the Force weakened. With realizing that she would not be able to hold much longer, other feelings arose: Frustration over not being able to save Tiran Kolar, Anger over the Gallactic alliance that had simply fallen apart when needed the most and Hatred of the Sith that were taking all that she valued from her. When her control slipped at last, Veris embraced these feelings - and the slaughter began.Whereas she had been previously content to obstruct passage and to slam her opponents around, now Stormtroopers and Sith alike were elecrocuted, choked and even torn apart in midair. So wild was Veris' force-fuelled rage that even Darth Nihil refrained from approaching her at first. Still, it served her purpose as nobody got past her to reach the shuttle - really nobody, neither Sith nor Jedi.Master Tlo wisely realized that eventually her body would give out under this massive misuse of the Force - what he did not realize was how far Veris had already fallen to the Dark Side: His lifeless body joined the countless other strewn around the hangar entrance.When it became apparent that the Jedi's last semblance of rational thought would soon slip away as her body burned itself out, Darth Nihil finally made his move and Veris a simple offer:  Life (as a Sith) or Death.The Jedi Moro'sai'Veris' last conscious thought was to choose life, not because she feared death, but to finish certain matters still left open. Dath Nihil then force-slammed her into a wall and thus robbed Veris of the consciousness that had maintained her dark rage.And so the Sith Moro'sai'Veris once again forsook her former life, with one notable exception: she never forgot her studies in the Jedi Temple on Coruscant, never forgot how one man, one single man, had brought the mighty Jedi Order close to extinction.Veris has been rumoured to have somehow enticed the dread Sith Assassin Darth Pungeus to teach her his rare path of mastery during her training on Korriban, but this cannot be confirmed as the Darth has been slain - beheaded with his own lightsaber - by an unknown assailant entering the academy grounds unseen, presumeably one of the few surviving Jedi Masters.    Appearance:A very attractive Devaronian, Veris has none of the tattoos usually expected from the Sith, especially the born ones, as they would only hinder her foremost purpose as a Sith Infiltrator. (For this she even carries a Jedi lightsaber plundered from Ossus.) The only visible mark the Dark Side has left on her are the sulphur-yellow eyes. Still, Veris has paid the price for her body has been heavily damaged by the Dark side channeling on Ossus, robbing her of much of her previous vitality and strength.Characterization:Though generally a cold and dispassionate being, Veris can easily fake otherwise. Able to easily  discern moods and mirror and/or exploit them, she has proven very useful as an infiltrator. She only comes really alive when she uses the Force, for whatever purpose she deems necessary (or fun) - like torture.Darth Nihil has in the past functioned as a mentor-of-sorts, not due to any twisted feelings or such, but because he realized her potential worth and the common origin they share - coming as outsiders into the New Sith Order. As a true Sith he will cast her aside once he sees no more use for her, of course.Sith Creed: Treason (Veris has repeatedly betrayed everything she believed in at that point: her family, the Kand'Vrabt sect and the Jedi Order, plus she even killed her own master.)[sblock=Moro'sai'Veris]Moro'sai'VerisFemale Devaronian Jedi 1/Scoundrel 1/Scout 5/Jedi Knight 1/ Sith Apprentice 1Force 10; Destiny ??Init +5; Senses Perception +14Languages Basic, Devaronese, Kel Dor, Zabraki, Sith----------------------------------------Defenses Ref 22 (flat-footed 21), Fort 22, Will 26HP 30+d6+5d8+1d10+d10+9, Threshold 22----------------------------------------Speed 6 squares (walking)Melee unarmed +5 (1d6+3)Melee lightsaber +7 (2d8+3)Base Atk +6; Grp +7Atk OptionsSpecial Actions Natural CuriosityForce Powers Dark Rage, Farseeing, Force Grip (3), Force lightning (4), Force Slam (2), Force Stun, Force Thrust (2), Mind-Trick (3), Move Object (2), Negate Energy, Rebuke (2), Sever Force, Surge----------------------------------------Abilities Str 8, Dex 12, Con 12, Int 16, Wis 20, Cha 16Talents Improved Stealth, Hidden Movement, Total Concealment, Fool‘s luck, Clear Mind, Force Camouflage, Force StealthFeats Weapon Proficiency (Lightsaber, Simple), Force Sensitivity, Force Training (4), Skill Focus (Use the Force), Skill Focus (Persuasion)Skills Deception +17, Gather Information +12, Knowledge (Galactic Lore) +12, Perception +14, Persuasion +17, Stealth +17 (may re-roll) [Force Stealth], Survival +14, Use the Force +17Possessions Lightsaber, personal (red), Lightsaber (green)<a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1400367" target="_blank">Credits</a> 500+4500+200=5200 Cr - 1500 Cr (Pers.
