Strengths and weaknesses:
Strengths:Jhar is extremely fit, and lives up to the assassin reputation of his species. In addition to his organic mechanisms for hunting, Jhar is also acute in detecting force signatures. Jhar is determined beyond belief, and although it might be disputed as to weather or not it is a strength, Jhar is religiously loyal to whomever he deems his "patron." He possesses an innate skill for lightsaber combat, and is apparently an adept engineer, his lightsaber and glove as testimony of this.
Despite his weakness in the force, it appears that Jhar is quick to adapt, allowing for unknown force powers to be produced when in a Rage, and when forced into a corner. He has exhibited this trait when threatened with his survival in a few battles as of recent. During his time as a Padawan, it came to a surprise by many that he had already known so much. What they didn't see, was that when in battle all his energy is used up in a short time to produce these things, and afterwards, both mind and body are so severely damaged he is near defenseless.
Force powers of Jhar’s include:
Force Doppelganger- The ability to make an image of oneself perfectly, with the ability to move objects around via telekenisis, and adds on its sensual reception of the area to the user. This allows a person to appear to be in two places at once. Jhar's ability in this area is Intermediate (For a Knight).
Force-concealment- This ability shrinks ones presence in the force, allowing them to go unnoticed by other force sensitives. Jhar is an expert of this ability (For a Knight).
A form of a telepathic stealth- Using his ability's to affect the mind and generate illusions such as Doppelgangers, Jhar further envelopes himself to stealth by using Force-concealment in conjunction with making it difficult for people to look at him mentally.
Force Sense- The ability to "feel" other force sensitives and perceive events to happen shortly before they do, it also allows one to read another's emotions and vague thoughts. Jhar's ability in this are very acute.
Force Powers only available in Desperation:
Force Heal- Force heal was a power that used the Force to accelerate the natural healing process rapidly. Jhar's ability is weak.
Force Rage- Taps into the innermost fears, pain and hate, and convert them into an intense rage. With this one could then channel the anger to increase his or her own speed, strength, and ferocity. However, the body could not handle such rage for long periods of time, so the user becomes greatly weakened for some time after the rage subsided. The more Rage he has boiling, the stronger he is telekinetically, and also the longer and more serious his body is damaged. Jhar has little control over this ability.
Force Bellow- Force bellow was a power in which the user would amplify their voice using the Force. Jhar's ability is moderate.
Drain Knowledge- A dark side ability used to extract knowledge out of a sentient without his or her consent. Jhar's ability is weak.
Force wave- It is essentially a wave of pure Force-energy that pulsed out from the user, which knocked back anything within the power's blast radius. Jhar's ability is moderate.
Weaknesses:
Jhar is weaker in the force, his only abilities consisting of the most rudimentary of telekinesis (when not in Rage), and some other specialized (normally telepathic) abilities. In many of Jhar’s battles with adversaries, Jhar has not gone on unscathed; he is missing his left arm, and it has not been replaced with cybernetics. Additionally, he has learned some incredibly draining force abilities only available to him in desperate Rage. However though, unlike most Force users who can maintain their ability's to wield it on a consistent basis, Jhar has a limited pool to pull power from, and once it is empty (in short time) he is left nearly defenseless.
Despite his lowly rank, Jhar has fought Dark Lords many orders of magnitude greater than he. It took everything he had in order to survive, as a result, he has a collection of injuries piling up. In his battle with Darth Sidic his body was wracked with damage from Force Lightning, and his own Force Rage, causing chronic pain. The injuries have since healed to healthier levels, but if one is to look at his skin his rage demented his body, and the lightning scorched his bones. In his battle with Disciple, his trachea had been crushed. He healed it of course, but it seems his healing ability only brought it halfway, making breathing a slightly labored activity. As a result he now wears a Respirator around his mouth to help him, but it isn't always necessary. Also in this battle, he had broken several bones, which have since healed, but also there are many scars and burns all over his body from attempting to escape from an escape pod destined to blow up. He fell many stories up, only saved by a cushion of the force at the last second, minimizing the damage to just barely survivable. He now uses a cane at times for three reasons, one being the accumulative effect of his injuries, two to fake lethal weaknesses, and three to store his lightsaber.
This new self declared "Leech Lord", has lost everything in his eyes, and has finally come to renounce his once sole Deity and Patron Darth Vader. He views him now as a dead Titan, as he ascends to his goal of Godhood. But because he no longer holds loyalty to the Legacy of Vader, he no longer holds true loyalty to the Imperial Remnant, and in only believing in himself, then he is loyal to no one. He has completely gone insane, and begins to boil a plot to manipulate all life in the universe, but realizes he must start small. He has begun the practice of more effective mental attacks, and searches for a very rare crystal. He has gone obsessive in his new found goals, to increase his force potential and become the Master of Masters. He has now been labeled a Terrorist.
Ship: He begins to look for a suitable one for the "Leech Lord".
Biography:
Born into Clan Bakh’tor, Jhar was raised as all Noghori had for centuries, made to be the elite body guards to defend the Skywalker and Solo families. The only problem had been is that the galaxy no longer seemed to communicate with Honoghr, and thus these warrior-assassin-bodyguards were left with no patron in which to follow. For generations the society had been cut off, almost disregarding their history, many younger individuals claiming the tales of a benevolent God in Black-Clad had never lent help to them and their poisoned world. They began to think that perhaps there were no descendants of this “God”, no aliens beyond the skies of Honoghr. For long in what would be known as the Four Hundred Year Darkness, society would remain as it had, Bodyguards to the lineage of a mythical Family of Vader.But Jhar was different from his generation. Some might go as far as saying he was insane, ferociously believing in the tale of Vader, obsessed with this walking corpse. He went so far to his obsession he began dressing in armor molded off of what had been told of the Dark Lord. So when the Cult known as the Disciples of Vader had rediscovered the lost world, the sight and enthusiasm of Jhar was enough to take him in, as a student beneath, along with anyone else who would follow Jhar. They claimed to be powerful beings who went under the rule of Darth Vader’s Legacy, to destroy the ignorant Jedi, and the destructive Sith. It was not enough to sway the majority of them, save Jhar and any he convinced their tales were valid. In truth however Jhar smelt no descendant of Vader amongst the force users who descended to them, but when he saw their lightsabers, the weapon of Vader he was hooked. Long had they been described to him, and upon witnessing the weapons he believed any who held such a blade must have come from Vader; having not known of course, that there were other Jedi and Sith who use the weapons, outside the lineage of his God.
Upon Jhar's encounter with the small cult, the very name of Vader caused the obsessed Noghri to fall to his feet and grovele before them, though he did have a faint of doubt. Although he had been loyal to the Disciples for a very long time, this doubt remained. The goals of the cult did not seem to coincide with the envisioned goals the Noghri believed the legacy of the Dark Lord should have contained. It was when the cult had taken in Jhar had they discovered his sensitivity to the force, a valuable asset to the growing cult. Although the cult clearly said that when the goal was complete, Jhar would be forced to die should he live to see the Force brought to balance, Jhar continued his training to become the weapon they would use him for. Jhar would become the spearhead in their hunt for wielders of the force. Jhar’s advanced sense served him well, and his new abilities of stealth made him a phantom killer, never heard, never seen, never sensed until the moment was all too late. No Jedi or Sith alike escaped his nose, and when he found them, a rare few could defend against him. Of course luck eventually ran out, and Jhar ran into the wrong self-proclaimed Sith Lord. In a quick and furious frenzy Jhar had lost an arm, letting out nothing to slow him down other than a yelp. It was Jhar’s unrelenting attack that continued despite his limb being severed that overwhelmed the dark-sider, and lead to his demise.
Seeming as he had severed the head of the dark sider, it was then time for Jhar to face the Trial of Vader's Flesh. It was at first considered that due to the lose of his arm he had already passed, but the small Noghri insisted the Trial be under taken. So then, it was done. He delved his remaining arm in fire until a Master told him to remove it. It was quite burned, and so then bacta was applied, encased in a metal glove. For several months Jhar was armless, relying completely on the Force itself. It was a good learning curve for him, practicing his mental acuity, and beginning his advanced training in force technique.
Missing an arm, Jhar’s combat ability had been weakened. But it was not a feature that disabled him from combat, despite his refusal for cybernetic replacement. Jhar was quick to recover, and after hesitantly constructing his first lightsaber (a double-bladed shoto lightsaber) Jhar became an expert duelist, utilizing his few force techniques in flow with combat. The beginning was difficult, but Jhar was soon able to adjust to his impairment, an although possessing a stronger defense, his single-hand hilt double blade fit to his stature and harnessing a dual-phase surprise gives him an incredible edge over most adversaries. He even made a specially made grip that when utilized made it very difficult to accidentally drop, and also gave him the tactical advantage of readjusting angles by having it rotate at the palm of his hand.
Of course though, despite its advantage, Jhar was still handicapped and needed to learn new skills if he was to be a useful weapon to his cult; for if he was not then he would have no choice but to engage an executioner in combat, and likely die. Believing himself to be more capable then what his peers saw him as, Jhar began to study mind altering force techniques, leading him to illusions. At first Jhar began to study the utilization of such techniques, but quickly realized they possessed too many failings to be of any use to him. Thus his studies brought him to Similfuturus, or Force Doppelganger. For months, perhaps even a year or so, Jhar had harnessed all his ability into this one skill set. He forced himself into its ability, even going as far as temporarily forsaking his pledge to the Disciple's cause, and weakening his lightsaber resolve slightly. Soon though his skill was learned, and its rudimentary ability limited by time and concentration were enough for Jhar. Nowadays Jhar often uses a combination of Force Stealth, Concealment, and Doppelganger to distract his prey as he stalks it from behind, finishing off his target before his blade was ever drawn.
He has since dueled with Sith many orders of magnitude greater than he, and it has wracked his body with damage. Now he poses as a weak hermit, converting his awesome blade into a cane lightsaber to further this rouse, which all it does is store the magnificent testament of Jhar's engineering ability. Although in appearance he looks weak now, it is as was already said all, a rouse. All the damage he had received has since been healed, with only scars to tell the tale. Now a new tragedy strikes the faithful assassin, he has lost loyalty. The men and women he worshiped as he worshiped Vader might as well have been dead to him, and they may soon be. The order has fallen in on itself, and has begun disintegration, and disbandment. He has left the order and gone rogue. He has heard that a remnant of the former Empire that Vader had served still exists, and is in current reformation. He had heard of the Imperial Knights before, but of course being as loyal as he was never considered them. So then, he search's for a Master to help, redeem his dark deeds, and proclaim his utmost loyalty to the only surviving relic of his God and Patron, Darth Vader.
But it was not long before he realized that this Remnant was exactly that, a Remnant. It had nothing for him now, he felt that they would soon lose a war, of which nothing shall be left in this round. He never thought he come to this point, but weather or not he likes it he has reached this point. He now aimlessly roams the galaxy, unsure of his own goals. He supposes that it has been long enough that perhaps a promotion was in order. Perhaps one day if they prove to be something more than they appeared, he could one day be apart of Vader's Legacy again. He has no goals, but if he finds evidence of Darth Vader's legacy in another form, he will jump at the chance to take it.
He never did find anything though. He was left with literally nothing. A shell of existence, and a broken one. He isn't quite sure why he believed in Vader anymore. He wasn't sure why he expressed so much Zealotry. He had signed a pact with a religion that no longer existed, swore loyalty to a mere Remnant of a man who was no longer relevant. Why was he here? Why did he do, what he did? Why was there any reason why he followed anyone. That's when it hit him. He didn't need anyone's patronage to kill, to grow stronger, to become a god himself. That is when he became the founder of a one man religion, a religion in himself. He had finally renounced Vader, as a dead deity. Vader was a defeated Titan, and Jhar had become a God in his own mind, but he was merely a Demi-god, as he had not realized his full potential. He realized he still needed the Remnant for now, and he would learn what he could from the Religion they had in their Emperor and his or her protectors. Thus he decided what kind of God he was, he was one who leeched off of others until they were of no longer use. Thus, he became the Terrorist, Leech.
