- Races: No other races
- Force Sensitivity: All (There is only one individual)
- Like all Project Aura Sithspawn, the Atswara is immensely powerful in the Force, but unlike its fellows, it does not exclusively rely on the dark side of the Force:
Mechu-deru - Telekinesis
- Plant Surge
- Sever Force
- Force Lightning
- Protection Bubble
- Tutaminis
- Force Drain
- Dream-walking
[*]Due to the Neti portion of its creation, the Atswara can change their size and appearance between looking more plant-like or more humanoid-like
[*]The Atswara is a master of technology, based partly on its native Gormak mental acuity in understanding and utilizing technology and partly based on its use of mechu-deru to create and adapt.
[*]The Atswara is incredibly intelligent and observant, possessing a genius level IQ.
[*]The repulsor platform it uses for movement contains two chunks of dream-rock from the world of Voss that it uses to judge enemies it faces by forcing them into a Spirit World to face their innermost fears and nightmares.
Weaknesses:
- Perhaps more so than its fellow Project Aura Sithspawn, the Atswara is vulnerable to ysalamiri bubbles and void stone. Without the Force, it is unable to defend itself.
- If the repulsor platform it uses for movement is damaged, the Atswara is not a face moving opponent and it will be easier to engage and defeat.
- The Atswara has a great fear of fire, due to its Neti origins, and it will attempt to flee from any sort of weaponry that makes use of flames.
- If an enemy passes its test of spirit, it will disengage from the battle and leave them be unless the subject decides to continue the combat.
- Diet: Photosynthesis, water, Force Energies
- Communication: Can speak and understand Basic, Neti, Gormak, Voss, and High Sith
- Technology level: Galactic Standard as, unlike its fellow Project Aura Sithspawn, it makes use of technology.
- Religion/Beliefs: Unlike its fellow Project Aura Sithspawn, the Atswara does not strictly worship the Sith. Instead, it follows a nihilistic philosophy about the balance of everything in the universe, that only balance matters and life disrupts that balance. It views itself as an instrument of that balance, judging the souls it encounters whether they are worthy of continued existence, that they don't tilt the scales more than it deems acceptable, or be sacrificed to the Netherworld, to be devoured by the angry spirits that dwell within it.
- General behavior: Dispassionate describes the personality of the Atswara as he does not believe anything matters except his duties in serving the Balance. He does not partake in enjoyment in the slaughter and destruction of some of his fellows, nor does he collect trophies or weave intricate plots to enslave the enemies of the Sith. Beneath the dispassion is a desire to see all life in the galaxy extinguished as a means to right the scales of balance, well all life that he does not judge worthy of continued existence.
As the next subject in Project Aura, the Lady of Secrets wanted to see if she could create something that understood balance. Many of the Project Aura Sithspawn were designed for war and conquest, to further the Sith agenda in expected ways of death and destruction. But Taeli was curious if she could create something that served the Balance within the Force and the galaxy and would far more subtly, even unknowingly, serve the Sith's interests.
The base subject for what would become the Atswara iw Wuts, the Balance of Destiny, was a Gormak known as Taara-Pa. During the subjugation of Voss, many Gormak had fought alongside the Sith and Taeli had discovered several that could wield the Force, descendants of an ancient uniter of the Gormak, with the Taara-Pa being the strongest. He willingly joined the Lady of Secrets' service in the Order of Shadows, becoming one of her more dangerous assets due to his talents in mechu-deru, however he believed he was destined for an even higher calling and volunteered for the Project Aura procedure.
The second subject for this creation was a Voss Mystic that had refused to bend the knee to the Sith, one that had foregone his name in search of enlightenment. He had been a prisoner of the Sith-controlled government of the world until Taeli had requested his extradition to Amaltanna to play part in the ritual. She also requested the exportation of two dream-rocks for the soon to be created Sithspawn, but did not reveal her reasons for such to the Mystics.
The final part of the subject was a Neti, captured during one of the Sith's more recent conquests. She did not bother to learn its name as the plant being and its compatriots had been responsible for injuring her wife. In a way, when the fusion process began, she was furthering her desire to make a creature of balance with the Neti's nature, the Gormak's aptitude for technology, and the Voss's spirit. When the Atswara was finally born, it forged for itself a hybrid of nature and technology with its personal repulsor platform that held the dream-rocks. It would judge all those it encountered with the Spirit World and only spare those that passed its test.
