OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION
GENERAL INFORMATION
  • Name: Greater Sorrows
  • Designation: Semi-Sentient
  • Origins: Morghulis
  • Average Lifespan: 200 years
  • Estimated Population: Rare
  • Description: Alchemically shaped vintians into a sith statue... their features are smooth and given form as opposed to the rest of their species and reducing their mass allows their movements to almost be seen as opposed to their larger unenhanced counters.
PHYSICAL INFORMATION
  • Breathes: Type 1-3
  • Average Height of Adults: 3m
  • Average Length of Adults: N/A
  • Skin color: Grey
  • Hair color: N/A
  • Distinctions: Rock like skin and iron like grip.
  • Races: Vintian
  • Force Sensitivity: All
Strengths:
  • Heavy Bodies: They are living rocks, slimmer then their unaltered counterparts but rocks all the same. Their weight is heavy and movement slow or sluggish except downhill.
  • Stoneskin: Grey and cold, their bodies are shaped from vintian forms and turned into a smaller slimmer version of themselves with more definition.
  • Watchers: Watcher statues are interesting... they can detect when people are around almost omnipotently with heightened force senses and alert the ones they are set to protect. However they are not godlike they are just highly attuned through alchemical properties to have extreme senses. The force link to another allows minor displays of skills generally telepathic so they can project thoughts across larger distances, receive new orders or connect mentally to a being and let their masters interact with them.
Weaknesses:
  • Force Light: Being sithspawn and corrupted by the darrkside the touch of the lightside is deadly to them.
  • Force Nullification: Being corrupted by the darkside theirr bodies are infused with the force and without it they are highly likely to perish.
  • A Rock: Vintians are above all a large rock, their bodies solid with no organ like structures within them. They can be shattered and broken with no real means to repair or heal.
CULTURE
  • Diet: Other: They feed on force energies on the worlds, favoring lightsiders.
  • Communication: Telepathy
  • Technology level: Below Galactic Standard
  • Religion/Beliefs: Often seen as statues or thanks to the Firebirds religious iconography. THey are used for subversion and disruption of other groups. Being sent in or replacing statues around palaces, homes or government buildings. Be twisted and shaped to match the statues around them they can then follow their masters direction and kill or torment.
  • General behavior: Quiet and watchful, they are crafted with darkside energies to act like watcher statues. Placed outside of temples and monitoring for intruders or threats that will then alert the sith inside... but they are also able to act and kill those who are alone, straggling, weak. More predatory as they pick off slowly like predators. Balaya has crafted them to respond to the Firebirds and herself more then other darksiders and through telepathy they can alert or communicate in basic images or feelings and impressions. Among each other they largely stand around and rarely converse, it is unknown how vintians reproduce but they manage to do it as well as some of the other functions the strange stones could do... like fly ships or vehicles.
HISTORICAL INFORMATION
Not an ancient sithspawn crafted in the hundred year darknesss, instead something of the Firebirds that can be used to set the stage for their purge of worlds. Taking the Vintians which were a largely unknown species and being able to shape their stone bodies into forms that matched statues and architexture across the galaxy was important. It allowed the firebirds to better soften up worlds for either the muspelli which would attack their technology or their soldiers who would attack the populace. A carefully placed Sorrow to kill the leader or several placed to take out key figures can throw a world into disarray. The firebirds have developed methods to get them out into the galaxy and placed them around their temple to alert in case something manages to get through defenses and onto the world. With House Io so close to their world and their interest in attacking it proves a dangerous method that they have to deal with eventually. Balaya has worked on the sorrows and several other sithspawn that will be able to handle targeting her enemies and threats to the firebirds through subterfuge and infiltration before the more aggressive and dangerous firebirds come to fight.

Neat idea overall. I have one question before approval, though.

In Diet, you mention that Great Sorrows can eat meats and plants. However, in Weaknesses, you noted that these creatures are rocks with no internal organs. It is also noted on Wookieepedia that the Vintian language "can only be spoken by those without a mouth". If Vintians / Great Sorrows have no organs and no mouth (except maybe a carved one), how can they eat and be nourished by organic material?
