Blake Morrigan
The Nightraven
Or more accurately, a rival. And not the bad kind either. As most of you know, Blake is...well, fast on the road to becoming a Sith under the tutelage of [member="Tirdarius"] & [member="Darth Carnifex"] (Later). At the moment she is kinda going through her first story arc where she actually 'crosses' into the Dark Side and what not and that thread can be found here in Nevermore.
Now, Blake. By nature is not your run of the mill 'Sith'. She does not dress up in all black, wear makeup, carry two red Lightsabers and go around hacking and slashing like some kind of homicidal maniac. Quite the opposite in fact. Blake uses her pain, her hatred and every negative emotion she has to do something she thinks is positive. She, at her core. Is a peacekeeper. Her goals align slightly with that of The Jedi Order...but she has vastly different methods to achieving such a goal.
She sees a flaw in the Jedi. A flaw she cannot forgive. This flaw, is their inability to act when needed. Politics, diplomacy, peaceful resolve. These are things she once respected until war fell upon her homeworld. And watching her people suffer while the Jedi sat idle by trying to find a peaceful resolution while her people were slaughtered in the streets and children were orphaned or enslaved. This caused Blake to have a kind of distaste for the Jedi. Not for their goals, beliefs or even what they do...but their methods of achieving peace. To her, they are tedious. They are dull and mundane. They dont get the job done. They believe results gained from contemptible means aren't worth anything. When to Blake, what really matters are results. When she sees injustice, she acts. Right then and there, prepared or not. Impatient, impulsive, and highly motivated she oozes Dark Side energy. But does that make her a 'bad guy?'
I wanted to play with the idea of getting her a friend in the Jedi Order. Someone who sees Blake for Blake and not just some dark cloaked wannabe. I wanted to develop a relationship between two characters who both want to do the exact same thing but in vastly different ways. A Jedi, peacekeepers and pacifist to a fault. And Blake, a Sith who is a Pace Enforcer and harbinger. Exploiting the two and both their flaws, diving into some interesting stories and seeing just how different the two are. The two could become friends in a weird way despite being on different sides. Maybe even constantly fighting. Blake, being the person she is would understandably gain negative attention from the classic Jedi. This would lead to conflict in a number of ways.
So yeah, any Silver Jedi or anything around interested in filling such a role?
