OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION
- Intent: To create an NPC rival for my character Miasmær
- Image Credit: [X]
- Role: Darth Lextalionis (abreviated to Lex) is the rival and previous owner of Miasmær. He is actively seeking to undo the young sith and kill her as he views her, correctly so, as a threat to his power.
- Permissions: N/A
- Links: N/A
- Age: Early fourties
- Force Sensitivity: Knight
- Species: Weequay
- Appearance: Lex is never seen away from his armor, a matte black suit of cloth, durasteel, and phrik armor plating accented only occasionally by streaks of red.
- Name: Darth Lextalionis the Governor of Loovria
- Loyalties: Lex operates within the Sith Order, though he wouldn't be considered loyal to it or its ideals. He simply views the Order as a means to cement his own power and grow in the dark side.
- Wealth: Lex is extremely wealthy due to his position as Governor. Under the Sith Order nearly all industry on Loovria is controlled by the state, and is thus controlled by Lex who frequently siphons funds into his own pockets.
- Notable Possessions:
- Lightsaber Pike: Darth Lextalionis' signature weapon is his dual-bladed Lightsaber Pike which he has spent significant funds into coating the shaft with cortosis.
- Sith Armor: Darth Lexitalionis' signature armor is a mix of ceremonial robes and practical phrik-played durasteel armor capable of deflecting saber blows.
- Cybernetics: Darth Lexitalionis has many cybernetic implants to both increase his physical strength immensely as well as to replace several organs which have been too damaged in his time as a gladiator slave.
- Skills: Darth Lextalionis is incredibly skilled in melee combat, having spent over three decades of his life fighting. Outside of his martial skill he is an adept statesman and politician, having successfully navigated Sith politics while keeping his head down and having stayed under the radar of any of the bigger fish.
- Languages:
- Personality: Lex is a brutal and vengeful individual who will stop at nothing to fullfill his own personal vendettas. He isn't particularly sly or cunning, a fact he is very aware of and so often compliments by actively avoiding engagement in politics and remaining under the radar of those more powerful than he while directly bullying those weaker than him.
- Weapon of Choice: Lightsaber Pike
- Combat Function: Lex is a brute, preferring to physically overpower his foes in close quarters combat rather than ambushes or firefights.
- Force Abilities (Force Users Only):
- The Brute of Loovria: Darth Lextalionis' cybernetic implants makes him incredibly strong, capable of even ripping through steel. This combined with decades of martial experience makes him an extremely dangerous close quarters combatant.
- Upstanding Governor: Those who do not know him intimately believe Lex to be the model of a Sith Governor. His planet is, at least on the outside, run extremely well and kept stable. Industry continues to churn to provide the Sith Order with weapons, armor, soldiers, and manufactured goods. All of this on top of a mirage of expected scheming and plotting cements Darth Lextalionis as a model though unremarkable governor for the Order.
- Cybernetic Stiffness: Though strong and skilled in combat Lex's cybernetics and age have made him stiff and not as agile as many.
- Ion Weakness: Due to relying on cybernetic implants to live Ion weaponry is very dangerous to him.
When the Sith Order came to Loovria they came as conquerors in the midst of planet wide slave revolt, and Lex was one of these revolting slaves. When the planet was taken and the old slave-masters divested of their property as was the law of the Order, Lex was taken in as an apprentice as his skill and force sensitivity made him a prime candidate. The local governor attempted to shape him into a weapon to wield against other governors, but ultimately Lextalionis proved strong enough to oust his master only a few years into his training. Assassinating his master and taking the mantle of governor from him the newly titled Darth Lextalionis set to bring about his revenge. All those who had once supported the regime who enslaved him suddenly found themselves on the wrong side of the law and were hit with massive debts to the government where they would be put into indentured servitude to work off paying this debt. Darth lextalionis has continued to propagate this debt slavery, even bringing back the arenas the planet is renowned for so that those who once forced him to fight and their descendants now fight for his amusement.
To make sure the Order never looks too closely at his deeds Darth Lextalionis has long made Loovria a productive but unremarkable planet within the Empire. He has actively sabotaged his own industry at times to prevent the planet from being too productive to be valuable while making sure nothing ever happens on the world. This mundanity has given him a veil from which to grow behind and continue to propogate his revenge against those he believes wronged him.
