---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
STRENGTHS:
-The Mindeater: Free from the chains of the flesh something about Abyss changed. The mind consuming huger became a power alike a force of nature, a undying passion for more knowledge, the strenght to rip apart minds like they are nothing, the power to devour each and every thought in his path.
-Call of the Void: To keep his spirit linked to this plane of reality Abyss linked it to a mask and a set of armor. Free from his body he needs no food nor sleep.
-Archeology: He has a wide knowledge about places, objects and stories from the past, including both sith and jedi relics, ways to find and research them. His lifelong exposure sharpend his force sense, allowing him to sense places and objects tied to the force over great distances.
-Words have Power: As a man Abyss learned a lot about the art of talking, both to seduce or to break others. This has not changed since his ascend into his new form.
-Scholar: He has read a myriad of books and texts, and is able to remember and recite most of them, and is considered a exceptionally fast learner. Because of this he is also a good and dedicated teacher, with a passion for storing his aquired knowledge in from of written words and drawings. Since his ascend he has reached a state of near transendence, seeing the past and future almost as clear as the present.
-No Honor: Abyss has no sense of honor allowing him to use any tool or trick needed to reach his goal.
WEAKNESSES:
-Unfocused/tunnel vision: He often has a hard time focusing on all kinds of things, as he often drifts of in his mind to topics that interest him far more than human interaction, to the point were he completly zones out.
-The last glimpse of humanity: Beyond the mask and the shadows are still the last remains of what was once a man. While Abyss does his best to keep that hidden from the world, it is still possible to bring them to the outside if done right.
-Hunger: Most of his mind is focused on collecting even more knowledge, often bringing him on the fringe of being consumed by it. While this helps him to learn faster and more effective than others it also can control his actions. Since the step to transendence the hunger became a core part of him, and every second is a struggle to keep it controlled.
-Obsessive: Abyss is prone to obsessive behavior that forces him to make illogical decisions, and forces himself to feats that often self destructive.
Nothing of Abyss is left but a dark spirit. The form he picked for the galaxy to see is one made in the image of Darth Nihilus, a empty, yet walking and acting set of armor. Yet there a still large differences between the two, as Abyss armor comes with a few eccentric alterations to the original concept like a strange and mostly unmoved mechanical jaw. Still shrouded in the same old robe, and still wearing the same mask and crown as before it is very easy to see who he is despite his new from.
INSIGNIA:
Since he took on the title of Prophet, Abyss has created a symbol for himself and his allies, a black flag showing a abstracted version of his mask, as well as ancient runes and a kraken, inspired by jolly Rogers and seamen myths of the ages before space travel.
PERSONALITY:
To some Abyss comes of as eccentric, crazy even, while others view him as a charismatic leader. He sees himself as a little bit of both. Over time he learned that madness was the price one had to pay if he wanted to use the dark side to its full extend, giving in to his corrupting hunger for knowledge. While he neither knows trust or friendship, he has a natural talent for teaching others, and even takes joy in showing others the hidden path. While he wouldn't go as far as to call someone a friend, he can be rather fond of individuals that impressed him with their abilities, mainly those who could stand against him in a duel of minds and knowledge. To himself his mind seems like chaos, ideas and thoughts racing at any time, often making him space out even in the middle of a conversation. Only in combat he can keep a glimpse of order in his head, when his passion drives him instead of conscience thinking. In his view, everything that happens is the will of the force, in some way at least. While he doesn't believe that live is completely determined, he thinks that the force will retune to balance by itself like anytime a purge of one side happened in the galaxy's history. While he is a smart and cunning individual he has a tendency to think to far, often missing a simple solution to a problem. In some regards he can seen as scholar, as he is far more interested in reading and writing than in human interaction, especially fascinated by the galaxy's past and history. Other than some sith he has no illusion about his superiority, instead believing that an enemy's weakness is worth far more than his own strengths. To him a battle is not only one of strength and might but also one of the mind. He has meet members of several groups of force users outside the sith, and holds a great fascination for their unique philosophies and skillsets. For a sith he rather tolerant when it comes to jedi and other lightsiders, as he considers their ways as almost equally interesting than that of the sith from an academic perspective. Still he sees the jedi as fools for their believes and dogmas. After his transformation his personality stayed the same at its core, but his new powers and insight removed him even further from the idea of a normal thinking and acting human being.
FIGHTING STYLE:
Since he began his training Abyss preferred from II when fighting with a lightsaber, appreciating the focus on counters, ruses and evades, the fast movement and the fact that most attacks and sequences could be preformed with one hand, leaving the other open for additional attacks. Today he mainly uses a reduced version of form 2, replacing the faster and more elegant attacks with strength, precision and obscure angles. He has a tendency to use tricks and deception to gain an advantage over his opponent, and has no inhibitions to even use brutal and unfair methods to turn the tides. This can range from using dirt to blind his enemies to biting and ripping open someone's throat. He also trained the ways of a simple soldier, learning a combination of traditional boxing, bar brawling and the use of firearms. In combat he follows no code of honor that binds him, as both mercy and honor are a weakness a enemy could use like he would himself. As much as he uses his lightsaber he uses his words in a fight, often attempting to break his opponents moral to the point were even a more powerful warrior will bow before him. In a battle he considers the shadows his greatest ally, and often shrouded himself, even mid combat, to find a better moment and angle for an attack. Over time he developed a habit of implementing knifes in his style, and knows who to use them both in close quarters or as a throwing weapon. He has a tendency to get rather creative with his use of the force and implements even the more basic techniques in exotic ways if needed.
BIOGRAPHY:
-Pre Roleplay:
He was once a boy with another name, a normal family, living the life of child born into wealth in the Outer Rim...
Born the son of a dealer for rare artifacts tied to the force, his father was more than pleased to notice that his son inherites his connection to the force. But while his fathers connection was weak, allowing him only to feel glimpses of the force, he showed a far greater connection from an early age. His father decided to train him with anything he could learn from the old books and texts he was selling, until he was old enough to read them himself. Years passed by as the son learned, becoming more and more aware to the objects of force all around him, feeling them even miles away. After telling his father about his new found ability, his father decided it was time to test them.
On his 18 birthday, he and his father got on a ship, traveling to a dig side of an old sith grave, that was abandond years ago because no one was able to find anything of worth. The moment he set foot on the moon he could sense the dark side, pulling him towards a place miles away from the grave. But before he and his father could reach it, a group of bandits that had taken shelter on the moon stops them. To safe the life of his son and his own, the father decides to make a deal with the bandits: They could have whatever was hidden on the moon, as long he and his son could leave afterwards. While coming closer to the relics, the son starts to feel something he had never felt before. He could not just sense the objects, he heard the calling him, feeling the dark side flowing trough his body. After a while He, his father and the bandits reach the place of an old monument, but the only thing left were old stones and ruins. Feeling like they were betrayed by the father, as the only thing in front of the was a pile of stones, one of the bandits aims his blaster at the father and shoots. Looking at the corpse of his father in front him, the son feels a darkness within, an great abyss swallowing every emotion until only anger and hate was left. Giving in to the calling of this place he holds up his hand, pulling an old lightsaber in it, that layed buried in the ruins in front him. Fulled by the dark side, the son ignites the red blade, killing any bandit in range.
After the every bandits lays dead, the son falls down to his knees besides the corpes of his father. After his last tear hits the face of his father, the son rises to his full height, once again feeling a calling of the force. He walks into the ruin, emerging from it dressed in old and tattered black robe. Leaving the corpes of his father behind the son takes a new name: Abyss, and follows his new calling: Finding any object of power, any piece of knowledge about the force he could.
A year passed, when his search took another turn ...
Following the dark side to yet another planet, he has his first contact with the one sith. Without hesitation he joins the organisation to learn the secrets they know ...
-The last Knight of the One Sith:
He came to the One Sith as an acolyte, at best, a man with no remarkable skills compared to those who had invested their whole live in the training to become sith. Yet there was something in him that made him stand out even between those stronger than him: Ambition. Like always in his live, Abyss was more than willing to learn, to gain power and knowledge in any way he could, from reading books to raiding temples. This was what brought him an opportunity that would change his live forever, a decision that would lead him on the path of the true sith. A dark Lord, the strongest Abyss ever meet to this day, recognized his ambitions, his will to learn and evolve. Darth Ophidia, the pale assassin, made the young sith her apprentice, and with this his fate was sealed. She showed him the ways of the force, formed his body and mind so he would one day be able to follow in her footsteps. At the same time his training began to show progress, the One Sith empire began to crumble, to stumble and and fall down from its might. Many left the empire, seeing no worth in it, after their capital, coruscant was taken over by the jedi and their alliance once more. Not Abyss, the ambitious acolyte saw what many could not: An opportunity to gain power. Ascending through the ranks of the military, he slow collected a group of loyal followers that would serve him until death. On Katarr he challenged the crusade, and lost. On Mindabaal he challenged traitorous sith, and lost, both the battle and his right leg. Yet he pulled himself through the dirt, obsessively clinging to live every time he was beaten and broken, only to rise stronger than before.
Then the downfall came, and Abyss made sure that he did everything he could to leave the enemies of the dieing empire scarred and broken before the One Sith would fade from existence. So he set the core on fire. Kuat, Metellos, Csillia, all worlds that burned on his command. For everything he had done, his master granted him the only title a that meant anything to a sith. Darth. Reborn as Darth Abyss, the last Knight of the One Sith rose, ready to bring death over the galaxy once more. Living up to his title he began to teach his first apprentice, Phar'ra, a young kaleesh warrior, but their time together was short lived. After only a few months of training the warrior was gone, and for some time not seen again.
Then followed the creation of his cult, "The Children of Korriban", a group of brainwashed slaves loyal to any of his words. One of these slaves is Faith Highwind, a brainwashed jedi used a healer and priest inside the cult.
-Darth Abyss, Lord of the Sith:
The path in front of him never had been easy, but with every day spend in the darkness his power grew. Slowly he moved up. First barley and acolyte, later a knight of the sith commanding armies, cults and agents to do his biding. But his ascend didn't stop there, or anywhere else. Ambition, obsession, hunger pumped through his veins in every thinking second, pushing him to collect as much knowledge and power as possible. Other than his way from acolyte to knight, his way from knight to lord wasn't paved by war, but instead by intrigue, by plans and schemes formed and executed in the shadows.
But the power of the darkness always comes with a price, and with his strength growing he had to pay now. His body began to suffer under the constant corruption of the dark side, slowly draining it of the energy needed to survive. Things turned even worse when he lost touch with the force due to this, and only Aria Vale, a jedi he had a somewhat friendly relationship with could help him to rekindle his connection. Still the corruption stayed dangerous, and like many sith before him, he had to search out for a way to cheat death in one way or another, finally transcending beyond the chains of his flesh.
Without an empire or group to serve, he had quite a lot of time to think about the further of himself, the sith and the galaxy as whole. The sith could never really rule for long, at least not when they stayed stagnant and kept to their ideals of total domination. His times in the shadows and his training under Ophidia told him much about the worth of secrecy, and so the Tainted Chorus was born, a organizations composed of those who meant to rule from the shadows, unseen and unheard. Another important step was the founding of the Abyss Academy, a place where all those who cherish the darkness can come to and learn.
Another vital part of his masterhood was the training of a apprentice of his own. With his path set in front of him, his acolyte on one side, and his quest for transcendence on the other he finally rose, now a true lord of the sith. During that time he was also named the Black Assassin and member of the assassin council.
Then came the reclamation of Malachor. After building a academy on the dead world, Abyss jumpstarted a development he had not forseen. Slowly the husk of a planet pulled new settlers fueled first by the academy and the by the Floating Market, a shadowport in the orbit of Malachor. The Free Cities began to rise and spread, under the watchful Eye of the sith lord, who made sure that his new empire of crime, chaos and anarchy would stand the test of time. Yet his steps deeper into the underworld came with a even more surprising situation than a new world for himself. After meeting Miss Blonde, the woman on top of the syndicate, the two quickly realised that they had much in common, even enough to become lovers despite their ranks and positions.
Malachor fell, but Abyss rose to new heights. His love had told him about a child of his blood that would come one day, while he further walked down the path to the power he had been searching for. Then the day came, the armor was forged and the spells weaved. The Mindeater had reached the end, and ascended to transcendence.
