Genesis Rostu carries himself with the quiet authority of a man who has lived through fire and refused to break. Tall and broad-shouldered, his physique remains powerfully built despite his age, a testament to both rigorous conditioning and the lingering effects of Vongforming. His rich brown skin is weathered with time, but unmarred by frailty, and his close-cropped hair has grayed at the temples, lending him a statesman’s dignity. Deep-set, watchful eyes—dark and intense—speak of battlefields crossed and burdens carried, while a well-groomed beard frames his face, emphasizing the stoicism etched into every line. Clad most often in a crisp officer’s uniform or Naboo formalwear, Genesis exudes a disciplined, noble presence that commands respect without ever needing to demand it.
INVENTORYPERSONALITY AND BELIEFSGenesis Rostu is a man of conviction—quiet, steady, and unshakably principled. He believes in service over self, legacy over glory, and duty over comfort. Like the great generals of the old wars, he leads not with fire and fury, but with foresight, humility, and resolve. His voice rarely rises, but when it does, it clears a room. Genesis speaks with the weight of history behind every word, drawing from experience rather than ego. He has little patience for opportunists or ideologues who see power as an end rather than a responsibility. At his core, he is a believer in earned freedom—the idea that liberty is not handed down from thrones or treaties, but secured and maintained through collective sacrifice, discipline, and moral clarity.
Though hardened by decades of war, loss, and political betrayal, Genesis has not grown bitter—only wiser. He holds deep reverence for those who fight with honor, regardless of affiliation, and sees young soldiers not as tools of statecraft but as future torchbearers. This belief fuels his mentorship and his unwavering support of the Royal Naboo Republic, whose ideals remind him of what the Confederacy once aspired to be. He does not crave recognition; in fact, he distrusts fanfare. What matters to him is the work—the strategy, the reform, the preservation of hope in a galaxy so often ruled by fear. And though the Force no longer touches him, Genesis remains a spiritual man, guided not by mysticism but by the enduring wisdom of ancestors, principle, and the hard-learned lessons of history.

STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES
- + Enhanced Physical Resilience (Vongforming): Due to the modifications performed by Yuuzhan Vong shapers, Genesis possesses significantly heightened physical endurance, pain tolerance, and resistance to environmental stressors. His muscles recover faster than typical humanoids, and his immune system operates at an advanced level, allowing him to outlast even younger soldiers in extended campaigns.
. - + Immunity to the Force: Genesis cannot be sensed, influenced, or manipulated through the Force, making him a natural counter to Force-sensitive opponents. Mind tricks, precognition, and Force-based tracking are ineffective on him, allowing him to operate with a level of strategic stealth that few commanders can match.
. - - Force Severance (Tactical Blind Spot): While immunity to the Force has its benefits, it also renders Genesis unable to benefit from Force-based enhancements, healing, or preemptive awareness. In environments or battles where Force-users coordinate through shared perception or augmented reactions, he functions at a technical disadvantage.
. - - Technological Compatibility Issues: The biological modifications performed by the Vong have made certain standard medical technologies and augmentations less effective—or outright incompatible—with his physiology. Emergency procedures, stimulants, or neural interfaces often require custom calibration, delaying his recovery or adaptation in situations where speed is critical.
Genesis Rostu was born in 797 ABY as a clone of the legendary Dex Rostu, a founding father of the Galactic Republic that rose in the aftermath of the 400 Year Darkness. Designed with purpose, discipline, and the burden of legacy in his genes, Genesis came into his own during a volatile time in galactic history. By the early 830s ABY, he had not only earned distinction among the southern systems but had ascended to lead them.
As Grand Marshal of the Confederacy of Independent Systems—the first major Confederate power to rise post-Darkness—Genesis led a coalition of Southern worlds that demanded autonomy, self-governance, and resistance to centralized galactic authority. Under his stewardship, the Confederacy carved out a swath of space that thrived on Separatist values, planting seeds of freedom and independence that still bloom today.
Toward the end of his tenure, ever the soldier before the statesman, Genesis underwent voluntary Vongforming. With the aid of local Yuuzhan Vong shapers, he was rendered dead to the Force—immune to its seductions, blind to its manipulations, and sharpened into a more precise battlefield instrument. The cost: permanent severance from the Force. The benefit: an aging body made resilient, regenerative, and enhanced for endurance and adaptability.
However, destiny is never static. The Confederacy, beset by internal fracture and the rise of new powers, collapsed in the early 840s. Genesis was quietly removed from office during the subsequent restructuring. No trial. No protest. No war. Just an old warrior stepping off the field.
He resettled on Naboo, the galaxy's ancient heart of diplomacy, where he spent the next several decades teaching military strategy and political theory to idealistic students and wide-eyed cadets. It was a quiet life. A good life. But not the end of his story.
Over time, it became clear the Vongforming had gifted him more than just battlefield advantages. Though born 87 years ago, Genesis Rostu aged no further than his mid-fifties. His body remained strong. His mind remained sharp. And when the Royal Naboo Republic was founded, bearing the banners of liberty, unity, and just rebellion, the embers inside the former Grand Marshal stirred.
He returned to service.
Not as a warlord. Not as a revolutionary. But as a soldier loyal to a cause he believed in.
Today, Genesis Rostu serves within the Royal Naboo Navy, lending decades of hard-won experience to a younger generation and standing watch over the Republic he now calls home. He has no illusions about his age, his past, or the uncertain future of the galaxy. He knows wars never end—they just change shape. And so long as he draws breath, he’ll be ready.
