Loyalties: The Primeval, and his little cut of the galaxy (Dubrillion)
Role: An NPC Warlord meant to be disposed of by a PC interested in becoming the Warlord of the world that the NPC Warlord currently holds.
Development Threads: N/a
Age: 45
Species: Yuuzhan Vong (Direct Descendant of the Extolled [Allegedly related to Vua Rapuung])
Force Sensitivity: Force Dead
Appearance: Bo is a literal behemoth standing at an above average Yuuzhan Vong height at 2.3 meters tall, towering over most individuals. He has a number of organ graftings done, including attaching his fighting claws for improved combat proficiency, but also has a number of them purposely sabotaged to give him the appearance of the Shamed Ones, who were renamed the Extolled after they won their rebellion. All in all, Bo is a very tall, muscular, powerful, yet scarred individual.
Personality: Bo is very fixed in his ways, and stubborn to the end. If he tells you he is the direct descendant of karking Darth Vader, you better damn well believe it, or he's going to kill you. He holds the typical hatred of technology as most all Yuuzhan Vong do, however he has be living around it long enough to tolerate its use by infidels and mongrels, so long as it never enters his living palace. There is one defining belief however, that practically defines his personality as an individual: He believes he is the direct descendant of Vua Rapuung, who became a legend among the Shamed Ones, his martyrship with his last moments fighting side by side with a Jedi, leading the entire caste under the belief the Jedi would save them, to rebel against their Masters to become the Extolled... but there is a catch. He is a believer of the Jedi being the salvation of the Yuuzhan Vong, but being surrounded by non-Jedi... mistakes who the Jedi actually are. He believes that the witches, sith lords, dark jedi, and other miscellaneous force groups present within the Primeval, connected by the common faith of the Primordial Gods, are the Jedi. So if he ever encountered a true Jedi, he would renounce them, and seek to destroy them.
Weapon of Choice: Dual-wielding two Fighting Claws
Wealth: The Wealth contained on all of Dubrillion
Combat Function: The Warlord is a very confrontational Melee combatant, who condones ranged combat.
Strengths
- Physically Powerful: His size works to his advantage when it comes to generating sheer power in his strikes.
- Speed: His sheer muscle mass produces limbs that are simply faster due to the power behind them, and his sprint speed is phenomenal.
- Force Dead: As a Yuuzhan Vong, most direct usages of the force do not affect him.
- Agility: His size works against him when it comes to the maneuverability of his body, given the sheer amount of mass limiting the full range of motion of all his limbs.
- Stamina: Some of the organs ritualistically implanted into him have been purposely sabotage to gain the appearance of his ancestors, but due to this, the rot in his skin has limited the full capabilities of his stamina. In a test of endurance, this particular Yuuzhan Vong will not last long.
Notable Possessions: Fighting Claws, Amphistaff (not typically used), other ordinary Yuuzhan Vong items, wealth of a Warlord.
Other Notes:
The Beginning of Belief
The birth and childhood of Bo Rapuung is largely unimportant and insignificant. It isn't until later in life, when his skills as a powerful warrior come into fruition, and his beliefs began to set in his stubborn ways. He believed he was not only the descendant of the Extolled, but the direct descendant of the martyr who was largely responsible for the Jeedai Heresy from even existing. The Yuuzhan Vong population, who were largely controlled by the Extolled descendants on Dubrillion, began to support and encourage this behavior when his skills as a warrior purportedly began to match the myth and legend of Vau Rapuung. His belief, no matter how delusion they might be, was being fed by the support of his fellow people, and due to this the raging fire within him only grew stronger in his belief... almost going so far as saying that he might even be the reincarnation of Vau Rapuung, and his destiny being to reunite with the Jedi after the Gulag Plague is lifted to lead the Extolled once again to prominence. However, despite his blatant hinting towards this conclusion, he has never explicitly said as much, though he knows that others have, and does nothing to dispute the claims.The Destiny of Belief
Such claims only grew stronger when finally, the fog of the Gulag Plague was beginning to lift... and the Yuuzhan Vong population on Dubrillion would encounter one of their first force users they had seen in four hundred years. Immediately, Bo Rapuung felt within his heart that this must be the second coming of Anakin Solo, the Jedi who assisted Vau Rapuung. The Jedi had returned to save them once more! That, of course, was not entirely the case, but nonetheless a 'Jedi' had come to Dubrillion following the Gulag Plague. Surely this must have been a most prophetic event to which only Yun'Yuuzhan could have organized into fruition. If the gods had ensured it would happen once, then it would surely happen twice. Bo Rapuung met with the 'Jedi' representing his people on Dubrillion, and rejoiced at the prospect of his final destiny.The Twisting of Belief
The 'Jedi' though, was a representative of the Sith Empire, who was scouting the region before the War Machine inevitably crushed the resistance in the system. This Sith Lord, by the name of Darth Solous, was not aware of the ancient Yuuzhan Vong Heresy until he had arrived on the planet searching for weaknesses in its infrastructure that the Empire could exploit... when the Yuuzhan Vong population came to him... it was clear he had found at least one such weakness to exploit. Without even being aware of it, he had already claimed a small portion of Dubrillion through Bo Rapuung, who came to him and divulged the intricate history of his people, himself, and his beliefs. It was almost too good to be true that these ignorant religious people saw in him a religious entity, and having their impromptu leader in his pocket was an incredible bonus. It was all too easy to whisper into the rising Yuuzhan Vong star's ear the supposed faith of the 'Jedi'... the Sith Code was divulged, and other descriptors that lead the 'Jedi' that were inherently the opposite. Having little details over what the Jedi were over the last 400 years, Bo Rapuung was quick to take the information, and the permanence of his beliefs ensured that this specific delusion would stay with him until death.The Survival of Belief
Bo Rapuung and Darth Solous fought side by side from then on in conquering Dubrillion in the name of the Sith Empire, and when finally it was his, it was Darth Solous who become its military governor, with Bo Rapuung being just a useful tool of his state's craftsmanship. However, after a few years of quite ruling, something catastrophic occurs: The Sith Empire fell and conceded territory to the inferior Imperial Remnant. Being a darksider, Darth Solous was the first target to be dispatched, though not before Bo Rapuung came to his aid in attempting to fight off the 'Invasion'... unfortunately the Sith Lord fell in combat, and in a reversal of the Jeedai Heresy, it was the 'Jedi' to fall and the Yuuzhan Vong to escape, at the command of Darth Solous before passing. Bo Rapuung, and the Yuuzhan Vong that had supported the Darth's reign of terror on Dubrillion, were forced underground into hiding, as Empire after Empire claimed Dubrillion and subsequently fell, all the while the Yuuzhan Vong remained quite, organizing only small scale skirmishes to strike at critical junctions of the enemy government and military... they effectively became Dubrillion's Yuuzhan Vong terrorists attempting to impose the old regime upon the planet. For years, they survived, and their beliefs were only compounded as time went on under the leadership of Bo Rapuung, who motivated them through faith that victory was a long road that was worth the journey in the end. They merely had to suffer the embrace of pain before acquiring what they most desire in life.The Thriving Resurgence of Belief
After years of fighting underground against weak and morally grey Empires that did not suit their goals and desires, finally, a regime came that would change how the game was played. The Primeval Empire dominated the scene on Dubrillion, and with their superior might crushed the opposition present on the planet, before even knowing the resident Yuuzhan Vong population existed. When they revealed themselves through their typical terrorist messages... they were confronted by a Spellweaver Agent of the Primeval, who was able to infiltrate their hidden camps with a team of other Agents to not confront them... but to recruit them. It was within the nature it seemed, of the Primeval to recruit the strangest and most extreme individuals in the galaxy to their side, and this was no exception. Although puzzled at first why they offered a terrorist the power to impose his will on the world, but once they began to speak of who they were, what she was and her beliefs, Bo Rapuung began to remember the twisting words of Darth Solous who skewed his vision of what the Jedi were, mistook the Spellweaver Witch as a 'Jedi' as well. Bo Rapuung quickly adopted the Primordial Gods into his own Yuuzhan Vong Pantheon, and accepted the Primeval as his newest and greatest ally on Dubrillion. With such motivation, he told his people that the time for shadows and feigned attacks was over... and that now was the time to make what once was there's, reclaimed! Like a storm, Bo Rapuung and his Primeval alley's easily set him up into power, destroying any and all remaining opposition on the planet until he was the sole remaining undisputed ruler of the planet, beneath the Host Lord of the Primeval.Ever since, Bo Rapuung has enjoyed the life of a ruthless Warlord.
Intent: An NPC Warlord meant to be disposed of by a PC interested in becoming the Warlord of the world that the NPC Warlord currently holds.
