Lamia Genarik
So close, yet so far
Hello there, fellow RPers! From when I first started to RP here, I always wanted a Sith character. Now I have the time, the will and most importantly - the quality to write something genuine, multi-layered and on par with many truly remarkable Sith characters we have here.
So, this is my toon - http://starwarsrp.net/topic/70298-lamia-genarik/
Basically, she is a caged musician with a pretty over-the-top power, quite unfitting for a noob character. However! She does not want to use it, on anyone, EVER! How kharked up that is for a Sith, nay?
So, instead of a warmongering lunatic who can't wait to electricute someone via the Force, we have a young lady who runs away from those who mean her harm, purely because she could kill them by a simple, albeit prolongued touch. A few bulletpoints to depict how this could make for interesting RP for fellow Sith in the future;
What am I looking for? Some dedicated Sith who wish an intricate roleplay beyond the usual smash, smash, invade, invade, half of the galaxy is mine scenario.

- Above all, Lamia feels guilt for accidentally murdering her baby brother. The images of his lifeless, grey skinned body still account for most of her nightmares. Thus, Lamia expends great amount of energy while trying to save others from herself. This becomes increasingly difficult as she grows up, as people tend to be drawn towards her. She has no idea what triggers any of this.
- Essentially, Lamia is the Rapunzel of Star Wars universe. Instead of providing help for their daughter, her parents locked her up, afraid she would ruin the family name and ultimately, their business. Additionally, they have no idea what is wrong with her, with her stepmother thinking Lamia is under some sort of dark spell. Hence, her parent's main motivation for her incarceration is fear.
- Somewhere down the road, if and when Lamia ends up in the experienced hand of the Sith, she will find out that Force drain process may be reversible. In this regard, Lamia is intended to become a dark Force healer.
- The main obstacle to becoming a Sith is Lamia's inherently good nature. Despite everything she has been through, Genarik remains much more sad than angry. She would have to be convinced her gift is not a curse, but can be used against those who betrayed her when she needed them the most. However, this will prove extremely hard, so Lamia may end up as a sort of "tool" for an experienced Sith, where he/she forces her into submission to do his bidding.
- Second obstacle is clearly Lamia's family, who have a firm grip of her destiny now. To fully set Lamia free, one or both parents need to be killed.
- Even if she becomes fully trained, Lamia will NEVER be able to control her gift fully. This implies a life long agony of being alone, without a consort and feared by most, although she is not vile and destructive in nature.
- Also, I don't see her as a lightsaber wielding type. She is tiny, after all.
