Light and Darkness, they are a balance
OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION
Eiar Thule was once hailed as a prodigy of balance and inner stillness. As a Padawan, her affinity for both diplomacy and introspection made her a perfect match for Master Xerothan Valekorr, who praised her ability to "listen to the Force without demanding answers." Trained in long-range diplomacy and spiritual inquiry, Eiar became a wandering emissary, often deployed to the edges of Republic space where Jedi influence was weakest. It was there, far from Coruscant, that Xerothan quietly began introducing her to "forbidden" Jedi meditation techniques — exercises that explored emotional acceptance, moral relativity, and the uses of controlled anger to allow her to explore a wider aspect of the Force.
Over the years, Eiar's connection to the Jedi Order thinned as her connection to the Force deepened — but it deepened in a direction none in the Temple noticed. After a mission on the dead world of Thil'shara ended in the destruction of a hidden Jedi outpost, Eiar vanished, presumed dead in a planetary quake. In truth, she had discovered a Sith shrine buried beneath the ruins — and embraced it. Under Xerothan's distant guidance, and believing she had found a "true balance" between light and dark, Eiar reforged herself in secret as Darth Virellus No longer seeking harmony, she now wields passion as purpose and views the Force as a weapon to impose her refined vision of order upon chaos.
Xerothan does not control Serynox — but she created her. Their paths rarely cross, but when they do, there is an unspoken understanding: teacher and student, light and shadow, separate yet inextricable. Some may consider this as the two monitoring one another, but in fact it is more than that. It is a master, observing her apprentice reaching their destined purpose.

- Species: Sephi
- Appearance: Eiar Thule, a Sephi of striking elegance and unsettling presence, possesses the refined features typical of her long-lived kind—high cheekbones, an angular jaw, and elongated, tapered ears that arc gracefully beneath her dark hood. Her skin is pale with a porcelain sheen, contrasting sharply against the deep black and crimson tones of her layered robes. Silken, silver-white hair cascades down her back, framing a composed yet severe expression, while her golden eyes glow faintly with an intense, calculating focus. A single dark rune is etched vertically above her brow, hinting at her transformation from Jedi to something far more formidable. Slender and poised, her presence is unnaturally still, as if the air around her hesitates, and the shadows never quite leave her side.

- Languages: Galactic Basic
- Personality: Coldly articulate and unnervingly calm, Darth Virellus carries herself with the quiet intensity of one who has embraced conviction without apology. She is not prone to outbursts or cruelty for its own sake—her strength lies in restraint and philosophical control, wielding her fury with precision rather than chaos. To speak with her is to be subtly tested; she draws others into intellectual traps veiled as casual conversation, often urging them to question the absolutes of the Jedi Order. Her voice is measured, her words laced with insight and quiet certainty, and she never demands respect—she simply expects it, as naturally as one breathes.
Virellus sees passion not as weakness, but as refined purpose. Her use of Force Enrage is tempered, almost ritualistic, unlocking terrifying bursts of strength without sacrificing clarity. In combat, she is a graceful but devastating force: a skilled single-saber duelist whose style blends the elegance of Form II with sudden, brutal strikes. Her movements are fluid, yet her intent is always surgical. When invoking Force Destruction, she does so not out of malice but as a final solution, often paired with quiet words like, "This is necessary," or, "From ruin comes truth." To her, devastation is a tool of philosophical purity.
Darth Virellus seeks more than victory—she seeks conversion. She does not revel in domination but in transformation, using psychological warfare and ideological seduction to reshape others in her image. She offers freedom cloaked in logic, and those vulnerable to doubt often find themselves ensnared by her presence long before a blade is ever drawn. She trains those under her with intensity and precision, expecting more than loyalty—she expects evolution. To her, weakness is not lack of strength, but lack of direction.
- Weapon of Choice: Lightsaber that can convert into a Saber Staff
- Combat Function: Within combat, Darth Virellus is adept at handling single foes in one on one duels. She is able to use a variety of form styles to catch foes off guard with their own form weaknesses or counters. Her skilled handling of Force abilities allows her to be an extreme danger in close combat, or even at a small distance. When combating a group, her primary weapon is Force Lightning, striking all foes in a radius at once. However, outside of this, her skills are limited.
- Force Abilities (Force Users Only): Force Destruction, Force Lightning, and Force Enrage.
- Controlled Rage (Focused Fury)
Virellus can channel intense emotion without succumbing to recklessness. Her use of Force Enrage is calculated, granting her bursts of strength, stamina, and combat precision while maintaining strategic focus—making her extremely dangerous in prolonged or high-pressure fights. - Philosophical Manipulator
A master of rhetoric and ideological persuasion, she often plants seeds of doubt in others—especially Jedi—through intellectual conversations and philosophical challenges. Her charisma lies not in flamboyance but in calm, relentless logic, making her a silent corrupter of faith. - Elegant Duelist
A skilled single-blade combatant, Darth Virellus blends the refined bladework of Form II (Makashi) with unpredictable bursts of raw power. Her style appears graceful and fluid but masks a lethal economy of motion, making her nearly untouchable in one-on-one duels.
- Overconfidence in Control
Virellus believes she can out-think or outmaneuver anyone given enough time. This can lead her to underestimate opponents who act irrationally or with pure instinct—particularly those whose passion isn't bound by logic or ideology. - Emotional Suppression
While she uses rage as fuel, Virellus also fears losing her composure. Her obsessive need for control can lead to internal conflict, bottling emotions too tightly. In rare moments of emotional collapse, her carefully maintained discipline can snap with dangerous unpredictability. - Isolationist Tendencies
As a product of both Jedi detachment and Sith elitism, Virellus struggles to form genuine emotional bonds. She views most beings as tools, pawns, or potential converts, which can leave her vulnerable to betrayal, alliance breakdowns, or being outnumbered in power struggles.
