STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES (Required: 2 Weaknesses Minimum) :
+(Combat Powerhouse): Gabriel has been involved in physical combat since a young age. Between training with his mother, brawling as a mercenary, and training with Sinistra, Gabriel has experienced every form of combat out there. Coupled with his ruthless nature and force enhancements, Gabriel is able to supplement his size and armor. Despite his appearance as a brute berserker, his fighting style is methodical and strategic down to every step.
+(Discipline)
espite being a brute, his experience as a militaristic mercenary has given him an unflinching sense of resolve and discipline. This is for both physical and mental fortitude.+(Military aptitude/strategy): Gabriel is gifted in both military tactics and military equipment, capable of using numerous different types of equipment for completion of missions.
-(Missing an eye): Despite having a cool scar, Gabriel lacks a certain level of depth perception that has to be augmented with force sense and spatial awareness.
-(Arrogance): Coupled with his discipline, he also has a sense of never being wrong. While he can present as a humble, he is forthright about his opinion, which can never be wrong.
-(Episodes of crippling pain): Resulting from burn nerve damage, hidden by tribal tattoos accustomed to his Kiffar heritage, Gabriel occasionally experiences blinding pain equivalent to a full body migraine. However, Reverance hypothesizes that the constant fits of pain are what tie the body to the darkside, prolonging the lifespan indefinitely. This, however, has assisted him in pain management, giving him an a boosted endurance for pain.
+/- (Sense of Honor): Gabriel is afflicted by an unpredictable code of ethics/morals. He's not a fan of unnecessary pain, though if he can perceive a benefit, pain is not out of the question. In the same breath, he would give mercy to an innocent child and blow up the city that the child lives in.

Special circumstances:
- If not employing Crucitorn, Gabriel has been known to force bellow.; Seeing as though this is a completely reactionary ability, it would be considered boom or bust and thus cannot be mastered, otherwise it would be listed as Force Scream...which it's not.
- Flashburn: This is a power that Gabriel does not know, but Reverance does (the parasitic twin, read full biography for more details). The twin uses the ability to manipulate Gabriel, holding memories hostage and deleting them at will (works best on the older memories). Reverance has mastered this ability while living in solitude within Gabriel's mind. Because of this, however, Gabriel has developed an extremely powerful mind that easily counters mental attacks. He has an eye for the realness of things. This is also the only power that differentiates the two brothers.
- Consume Essence: It is my belief, as a writer, that every Sith Lord uses consume essence in some shape or another. The only difference is that Gabriel can choose for this to negatively impact others (Fatiguing a diplomat on Khomm) or positively impact them (removing pain as seen on Manaan),
Gabriel has a uniquely analytic style of combat. While aggressive, using either Form II or Form V in combination with Jar'kai (which he is Mastered/Exalted in), he is very reactionary in combat. His fighting style is methodical and unique in that it requires a true text-book and experience-based understanding of all fighting forms, including unarmed combat. This experience is derived from hundreds of years of fighting and manifests itself almost entirely in the adhoc analysis of an opponents fighting style during combat. This form is strengthened by the existence of his parasitic twin and combat situations are one of the few times where the two will work together. The additional mind allows for a more complete analysis of options. Because of his dedication of combat, he uses the full power of the lightsaber, modified to extinguish and ignite instantly. On top of this, he is a master Trakata combat and feels that if someone doesn't use this style with lightsabers, they are not fighting to their fullest capacity.
APPEARANCE:
Gabriel stands at 5'11, weighing in at 200 lbs of scarred flesh and bone. He is a brute of physical nature, his body honed with constant mental discipline, exercise, and the fruits of a job that keep him fit and physically keen. Commonly seen wearing an armorweave cloak, he rarely reveals his face to typical bystanders or civilians, as the scarring over his right eye is a tell-tale sign of his identity. His hair is typically tied in a knot and given the advancement of war in the one sith, he will rarely appear clean shaven. Beneath his armorweave cloak, he would either be wearing his War-Torn armor, some sort of flack vest, or his Vonduun Skerr Ygdis. Beneath such ornaments, tribal tattoos extend across almost the entirety of is body, with the exception to his face and other more delicate parts. Between the tattoos, his body adorns an extreme level of scars, self inflicted and gained from battle, as he is constantly in pursuit of Pain.
PERSONALITY:
Gabriel is driven by one motivating factor: Control over his body. Doctors who analyzed him, and were later slain for their supposed misdiagnosis, believed him a victim of schizophrenia. However, Gabriel knew the truth. When he was born, Reverance was euthanized, but not before the souls of the brothers were intertwined. In order to keep the peace and maintain control, Gabriel must fulfill the blood thirst of his parasitic brother, who exerts a stronger willpower. Early in his life, this brought about remorse and regret. But through years of struggle and apathy, the part of Gabriel that cared for the well being of others died. Now, his purpose has co-evolved with Reverance's, taking on the guise of restoring order through glorious pain and fire. He is knowingly a monster and kills without a seconds thought to create the perfect universe, one that he will not exist in. Outwardly, he reflects an image of serenity and discipline, a master of his own power and something born purely out of necessity. Some would even remark that he has an odd sense of morals and ethics, a code if you will that displays itself in unpredictable cases of compassion. But inwardly, he is a storm kept at bay, a cold fire.
His entire persona is fixated on the notion of pain, either through enduring it or inflicting it. He believes that the truest path towards knowledge exists through the purifying and cleansing properties of pain. In his own way, those whom he harms, are receiving a gift from him. And for those killed by his blade, they are rendered a merciful end, freed from an innate weakness they cannot escape. His ideology, while broken, is inescapable and infallible. Pain is the truest and most certain factor of life.
BIOGRAPHY (Beginning) (STILL REFINING TO FIT THIS TIME/SETTING):
Gabriel Sionoma was born the hybrid child of an Arkanian scientist and Jedi of Kiffar heritage. The only surviving child of two, he was born with a parasitic twin later discarded and given no formal name or grave. It was remarked, irritatingly by his Arkanian-centric father, that Gabriel appeared almost entirely of Kiffar descent. Something of a bit of irony considering that the Arkanians saw themselves as the pinnacle of Evolution. The only true trait he gained from his father was the presence of an intellect that would gradually exalt Gabriel from the ranks of his generation.
Taught from a young age, Gabriel was instructed in both science and combat. His mother, with the consent of the Jedi Order, taught him in the ways of the Jedi but retained his training to only physical combat. He never gained a true capacity for Ashla, it was something that he read about and knew, but could never fully understand or accept. He had always felt that the truest and purest potential came from accepting all things, not just half of what existed. And it was in this way, that his mother feared for the childs future and darkness that he flirted with. His father, however, was overjoyed at the arrogance of the young child. Or perhaps it was sagacity, his father felt the two often went hand and hand and maybe it was even more the case with Gabriel. However, this glee was changed into fatherly obsession as Gabriel was experimented on from early childhood by a father with a curiosity that turned morbid.
At the age of 15, Gabriel's mother had to resume work, as she often did for the Jedi Order, and never returned. He was informed later that her ship had collided with an asteroid mid hyperspace. His father, unmoved by the events and entirely apathetic, died in a freak lab experiment several years later. Gabriel had already spent time acquainting himself with the world of courtship and love, having proposed to his future wife, Sylvia. They lived happily for several years, having two young boys who grew to the healthy age of three and five. During this time of marriage, Gabriel reflected the image of happiness...but beneath...
He had begun to hear the voice of a man that called himself Reverance. This was someone with great knowledge and great persuasive ability, Gabriel had noted. Gabriel began to practice in the sides of the force that his mother hid away from him...alchemy, lightning, etc. He began to realize, as it took hold, that the corruption of the darkside, that his mother had warned of him, was all too real and all too powerful. He began to have blackouts as Reverance became a more formidable portion of his psyche, taking control of his body. What was a happy life turned to one of fear and paranoia and despite all of Gabriel's proficiency's, he couldn't stop Reverance from consuming him from the inside out.
One night, Gabriel awoke to find himself standing unclothed before his home, the snow burned black and the house licking flames and embers. Two arkanian enforcers shook him from his blackout, only to inform him that his wife and children were in the inside. Result of a criminal that had escaped the local prison, they said. Burns and scorch marks blistered and bled and his right eye had been permanently wounded. What was already a fracturing mind found itself splintered and broken within Gabriel.
He turned from homesteader and Jedi to a traveling mercenary who was touched by the Darkside, compiling tomes and reading upon the works of Sith endeavor. During this time, he traveled to numerous planets, quelling uprisings and displaying a ruthlessness that spread whispers of his name throughout selective circles. He found himself on Tattooine and betrayed, sold into gladiatorial servitude. It was during this time that he met his second love and true Master, Sinistra, who took interest in him after he killed a Dathomirian Rancor with no weapons. She purchased Gabriel and took him on as an apprentice and taught him that which he could not learn from the broken psych of his brother within. He learned of history, of blood and sacrifice, and of thousand year struggle between the light and dark, something he felt nothing but contempt for.
Reverance began forming ideas in Gabriel's mind about the weakness of the Jedi and their self-imposed limitations. He began to see them as a sub species, one that was negatively impacting the survival of the universe by imposing misguided doctrines of false dogmatic policy. Where Gabriel once leaned towards the light, he had become something of a shell, a beast of apathy that his father would be proud of. It was in this time, after the death of Sinistra, that Gabriel made the blood pact with his brother that to prevent loss of control, Gabriel would enact Reverance's will and shed blood in his name. Gabriel turned this towards his own goal of bringing order to the galaxy, of strengthening the galaxy towards the understanding that all things must be experienced and understood.
Over his life, Gabriel, who began to formally call himself Reverance, slowly patched together memories of that night with his wife and his children and the fire he started. He is a tortured soul, crazed by a relentless darkness in the self-pursuit of glory birthed from flame and fire. To avoid recapture and reclamation, Reverance no longer uses the name of Gabriel Sionoma in most cases, and will often introduce himself as Walter Avius. Even in the darker circles, he never used the title of Darth, despite obtaining the power. It was an unnecessary thing, the Darth title, and only burdened people with an introduction that could be better served by a display of his powers.
BIOGRAPHY (Reclamation of self) (STILL REFINING TO FIT THIS TIME/SETTING):
Despite having retained his memory from his original days of married life, a crash landing on Tattooine left Gabriel injured and absent any memory from his former life. However, even though he had lost his memory, his parasitic twin did not and convinced Gabriel of his true identity being that of the long dead Darth Krayt. On top of this, Reverance had convinced the man absent his memories that he was the reborn Darth Sion of the Triumverate, a detail born in an attempt to explain Gabriel's constant fits of body wrecking pain. It worked and Gabriel lived in this state for a great deal of time, traveling the galaxy with thoughts of betrayal from the Exiled Jedi that 'ended' him. In his time of travels, he joined numerous groups in his path for constant knowledge. The first being the Council of Knowledge of Naboo, the bastardization of the Council of First Knowledge.
He remained there, for some time, infiltrating the group as a good willed free minded individual, all the while betraying them from the inside under the orders of a Feral Sith Lord hid deep within Kashyyyk, to which Gabriel worked as the title "Lord of Pain," one of three lords serving in a newly formed Triumverate. The Council of Knowledge was eventually destroyed from the inside by opposing factions and the Kashyyyk Academy and Feral Lord were destroyed by an invading force, known then as a secretive group called the Iron Fist. But just as time passes, so did theirs. The time of Feral did not fully pass into the formation of a New Sith Order, though the hushed nature of the group left little for the records after it's destruction. The self-proclaimed Sith'ari died before his dreams could be fully realized. Gabriel has wondered since then, occasionally joining factions to either assist in their endeavors or destroy them like a cancer, whichever he felt was necessary for the betterment of the universe. It was through this time, and his continued training, that he pieced together his real memories on top of the created ones, manifested by the menace within him.While he was able to put together the important parts, the rest that preceded the crash is a blur.Gabriel has no idea how old he is, though Reverance is aware and withholding - a constant point of contention buried shallow and often dug up.He knows the name of his deceased wife and children, but can barely remember their appearances.His parents are but faded shadows, long blown away by the gale of time.
BIOGRAPHY (Joining the One Sith) :
Gabriel first joined the One Sith during a dominion of Ashera. From that point forward, he steadily rose in responsibility as those capable were either removed or lost in the sands of time. During this point, he renewed a certain interest in Vong, a species that he had always felt a sort of kindred spirit towards. It was first seen on Manaan, then on Kashyyyk, and finally on the vong-forming of Selvaris. Those who have joined legion Yun'Do were bred primarily from the Shai Domain and rest upon Selveris, an isolated community of the Hrosha-Gul. During his time with the One Sith, he has been given the rank of Hand of the Emperor, and later promoted to Wrath, where he would serve as judge, jury, and executioner for the One Sith. It was during this ascent that he assisted in executing Darth Junra for her betrayal against the Dark Lord, as well as sentencing other traitors to death or banishment given the weight of their crimes. In his time with the One Sith, he has worked tirelessly to expand the influence of Vong technology within the One Sith, as well as show the true face of the Vong to the world that seemed to forget their importance. Perhaps it was a mental blocking, the ferociousness of the species was quite capable of producing such dramatic mental blocking. After the Netherworld event, the great cleansing, Gabriel had assisted reclaiming a massive territory for the One Sith, including staking his claim over Khomm, Adumar, and Selvaris as planets of his own, along with controlling the export of energy from Serapin.
BIOGRAPHY (Meeting Matsu Xiangu) :
Through an odd twist of fate, a sort of macabre obsession and need to maintain interest, Gabriel sought out Matsu Xiangu, prior to his full introduction into the One Sith. After reading a reward placed on Matsu, by her parents for recovery, Gabriel sought her out for one purpose: to cause her pain. His original intent being that he would take her to her parents and then kill them in front of her, to teach a certain value that only he seemed willing to recall. However, upon meeting her on Annaj, he realized that he had been subsequently tracked down by a former mercenary group of which he was once involved. It was at this time that the two worked together, through mutual admiration of one anothers diametrically opposed powers, that they dismissed the threat with relative ease and an abundance of gore. Afterwards, well...
They continued to work and play together, going to Dromund Kaas where they descended into the depths of hell together in search of the Ravager. Upon Vahl, they reclaimed phrik from an error in reporting - through extraction of phrik teeth fillings. Through the multiple invasions and skirmishes, Gabriel and Matsu have worked together to further their own goals as well as those of the One Sith. On Selvaris, after the conquest during the netherworld, Gabriel introduced Matsu towards the process of Vong escalation and shaping, in an endeavor to draw a link between this group of people, the shaping process, and the prosthetic arms that adorned Matsu (one lost before she met Gabriel, another lost during the invasion of Manaan). It was here that he realized his true feelings for the Matsu, beyond mere lust and infatuation and unhealthy obsession (though those still remain and are in ample supply).
