PHYSICAL & PSYCHOLOGICAL PROFILE
Arcubis walks with precise, coiled tension — like a saber ready to ignite. His voice is calm, unwavering, but haunted — it exudes both discipline and suppressed madness. His demeanor is magnetic but intimidating, often keeping others on edge. With the calculated charm of a strategist and the simmering rage of a zealot, he commands through intensity rather than rank.- Sith Insignia Tattoo: Etched across his back in seared ink, a symbol he earned — not inherited — through bloodshed.
- Mechanical Right Pinky Finger: A reminder of his betrayal on Maltiross V, lost during a hand-to-hand confrontation with his former lover's protector.
- Lightsaber: Thin-hilted, deep-crimson blade with an unstable core. The emitter crackles unpredictably, tuned to his exact grip and often doubling as a whip-like energy lash in tight duels.
STRENGTHS
- Saber Dueling Mastery: Fights with acrobatic, flowing aggression. Precision and grace combine in movements designed to overwhelm and disorient.
- Force Manipulation: Especially skilled at bending the will of others — mentally planting doubts, rewriting fears, or convincing the lost that they've already fallen.
- Tactical Mind: A gifted tactician who can read a battlefield or conversation like a sabacc game. Always watching. Always planning.
WEAKNESSES
- Rage-Driven Clarity: When he succumbs to his fury, his tactical brilliance fractures. Rage gives him strength — but also makes him vulnerable to traps, feints, and psychological manipulation.
- Isolation-Induced Paranoia: After betrayal and loss, he trusts no one — sometimes not even his droids. This makes cooperation difficult, often forcing him into dangerous solo ventures.
- Buried Longing: Beneath layers of darkness, he seeks one impossible thing: peace. This paradox breeds conflict, especially in moments of stillness where ghosts whisper.
BIOGRAPHY:
Born to a modest family on Denon, Arcubis showed Force sensitivity at a young age and was brought to Coruscant by Jedi recruiters. He was assigned to Master Relhan Qir, a Jedi Council member renowned for both his adherence to doctrine and compassion.Arcubis excelled in philosophy, diplomacy, and lightsaber forms — especially Form IV (Ataru). But his thirst for truth — especially about the Unknown Regions and the pre-Republic era — brought him into conflict with Jedi teachings. His unauthorized excursions, his study of forbidden artifacts, and his questions about the Light's limitations pushed the Council to reprimand him.
The final blow came when he attempted to defend a rogue mystic on Corellia, someone he believed could unlock deeper truths about the Force. The Order called for her execution. Kornelius defied them, fought off his own comrades, and escaped.
He would go on to found Red Spayde, a shadow cult blending Sith philosophy with lost Jedi teachings. Their aim was to purge the galaxy of what they saw as Force Orthodoxy — both Jedi and Sith alike. But Red Spayde was crushed in a Jedi-led campaign. Kornelius, betrayed from within, barely survived.
Over the next decade, Kornelius operated from the shadows. He aligned himself temporarily with Sith splinter cells and disavowed acolytes, but refused to fully kneel to any master. His former love — Ilyra Quess, a Force healer — was abducted and used as leverage to trigger his transformation. Her death, orchestrated by a rival faction, shattered what little sanity remained in him.
Now, Kornelius exists as a myth. A cautionary tale whispered among both Jedi archives and Sith tomb worlds. To the galaxy, he is a ghost. To the Force? A stain.
PERSONALITY:
- Focused. Hyper-aware. Often intense to the point of unnerving.
- Rarely smiles unless he's masking pain or baiting someone.
- Passionate about freedom of knowledge. He believes truth should not be hoarded by temples or empires.
- Shows rare glimpses of charm — confident, direct, sharp. But underneath is a man burning for vengeance, meaning, and release.
CURRENT OBJECTIVES:
- Hunt down surviving Jedi from the Red Spayde purge.
- Recover lost Sith scrolls rumored to contain echoes of the First Will.
- Investigate rumors of Ilyra's resurrection via Sith alchemy.
- Destroy the Jedi Order — not through war, but by unraveling their legacy.
- Discover a means to purge himself of his duality… or embrace it fully.
