Nemene unlike her sister Evelynn is unequivocally beautiful. Unlike most darksiders and Sith Nemene is nearly flawless even after decades of use of the darkside of the force. Her face is narrow and thin, her lips full and nearly always covered in a thin layer of red rouge. Her skin is a light bronze color, perfectly smooth and unmarred by scars, cuts, or bruises, to the touch Nemene's skin is as smooth and soft as a newborn babe and is by all accounts, absolutely flawless.
Her hair is soft Raven black, flowing nearly perfectly as though it were underwater at all times. The Black of her hair is stark opposition to her fathers former blood red, but it is assumed that her blond locks come from her mothers side of the family, a woman she has never met. Her eyes, like Moridins are a deep glowing orange, matching a twin pair of suns.
Whether this beauty is a facade of the force, or is truly the way Nemene appears is impossible to tell, but she does take great pride in the way she looks.
Nemene could never have been called a good person.
From the start of her life Nemene was taught that she was better than everyone else around her. This lead to her being an extremely narcissistic personality, something that was immediately noticeable when one met her. This extreme narcissism led to her more than once beating random strangers to near death, and in one case, to actual death.
Though she has mellowed out quite a bit, it's safe to say that even after a year under her sisters thumb Nemene is still very much a narcissist. She cares only for herself, her own goals, and what she wants. Thus, whats best for Nemene, is best for everyone.
[+]Healing - As mentioned before Nemene is an excellent healer. Though she does not use the healing techniques of the Jedi Nemene is capable of healing people from even the brink of death. She utilized a combination of all force healing, taking energy from herself, the force, the environment, and more uniquely, the person being healed. The twist to Nemene's healing is that like everything else she does, it causes a tremendous amount of pain. Those who have known her touch describe the sense of her feeling as being stabbed with a thousand needles in every inch of their skin covered in the most painful of poisons. Under her touch a second turns into an hour and a minute into a week. This is her toll for healing, life for pain.
[+]Regeneration – Nemene's ultimate talent it could be said is the use of her unique healing techniques on herself. Due to her vanity, and her skill with anatomy and healing in the force Nemene is capable of regenerating herself near instantaneously from almost any wound she suffers. This applies to cuts, bruises, broken bones, and any number of injuries. The caveat of this is that each time Nemene heals herself, it takes a proportionate amount of energy to do so. The Bigger the wound, the more energy it takes to heal herself. This healing does not extend to things like severed limbs, if Nemene's arm gets cut off, she cannot grow a new one, though if she retrieves the limb, its entirely possible for her to reattach it. On the other hand, decapitation will outright kill her.
[+]Blademaster – Like Moridin, Nemene inherited a tenacity for the use of blades and techniques around it. Due to her lack of strength in other areas of the force Nemene focused entirely on her skills with a lightsaber and enhancing herself with the force. Coupled with her unique self healing, Nemene's mastery of Force Speed and a Lightsaber makes her an extremely deadly opponent to face in a fight.
[+]Geneticist – Nemene in recent years has come to love the creation and copying of creatures. She has gone to great extent to learn about genetics and the functions of cloning and creation of new species. It is now safe to say that Nemene is an expert geneticist, becoming greatly renowned for creating new and interesting species such as the Verinth, and the Stalker.
[-/+]Abyss – Nemene's mind is an Abyss. Due to the touch of the darkside on her mind from birth, Nemene has created a sort of mental block around her mind. This completely and entirely renders Mental attacks worthless against Nemene. It also means however that she cannot reach out and touch others minds, nor can she communicate telepathically with anyone. To date the only one who is capable of touching her mind is [member="Evelynn"], the woman she shares a unique force bond with.
[-/+]Bond – Nemene shares a unique force bond with her Sister Evelynn. This bond makes it so the two women are uniquely linked together. Currently the bond lays in Nemene's favor, allowing her to command Evelynn completely and totally without question. At times however this bond has switched, and been used against Nemene. It also enables Evelynn to speak into Nemene's mind.
[-/+]Weak in the Force - Nemene although coming from Moridins line is not as powerful in the force as she could ideally be. Where others would be able to sustain a burst of Sith Lightning for 2-3 minutes without a problem and with no real issue, Nemene would find herself extremely winded and even tired after doing this. This makes it so Nemene has to use the force in more precise and exact means, instead of wasting great amounts of power. It also means however that she has little to no force aura. Unless someone is standing directly next to her there is absolutely no way anyone could tell she was a Sith by her aura in the force.
[-]Evelynn's Pain – Nemene currently as a form of punishment for Evelynn has taken all of the Silent Sisters pain. Every wound, every scrape, cut, or hit that Evelynn takes, Nemene currently feels. All of Evelynn's pain currently goes to the Raven Haired Queen. This means that if one wanted to seriously harm Nemene, they would only need to capture Evelynn. It is unknown if Nemene could simply turn this off.
[-]Unlearned - Just as Moridin, Nemene has no discernible talent in either Sith Sorcery, or Sith Alchemy. She has no talent with magic or the alteration of living creatures, leaving such things to others.
[-]Unskilled - Nemene unfortunately has absolutely no skill when it comes to flying speeders, ships, or really any vehicle. She was never taught nor ever bothered to learn to fly a ship and is completely unable to do so. This is a major weakness since it makes it completely impossible for her to do solo escapes.
[-]Bacta - Although she usually does not need it, its a generally unknown fact that Nemene is allergic to Bacta. Skin contact with the substances Causes Nemene to break out into a severe rash that leads to skin and muscular necrosis. Ingestion of the substance causes near instant coughing fits and eventual death.
Prologue:
Nemen Athaem Talith was born into her family like so many others were, a bastard. Like so many women before her Nemene's mother fell for the Sith Lord known the galaxy over as the Dark Lord Moridin. At the time of course his name had not been known, and indeed he had been but a distant memory to the galaxy. This allowed the ancient Sith to travel to worlds he had not been too in century, one of these was his homeworld of Kiffu.
It was here in the year 815 ABY that Moridin met a woman, a woman who was unknown to him at the time but one that held much power and grace. The woman swiftly seduced by the Sith Lord and the two spent several weeks together, their lives utterly intertwined. Like with all things involving the Dreadlord however the relationship did not last long, and before it could even really begin Moridin abandoned the woman with a cold heart.
Unsurprisingly in this galaxy filled with cliche's the woman ended up pregnant with none other than Nemene.
For some strange reason the woman felt compelled to carry the child to term, and nine months after her conception the mysterious lady gave birth to what would become Nemene Athaem Talith. Almost immediately after her birth the woman contacted Moridin once more, informing him of their child. The Dreadlord not knowing of his sons Soliael and Sven and considering his daughter Anwen a failure was eager to have an heir to his legacy. He took the child, and brought her to the outer rim.
For the first ten years of her life Nemene would have no name, instead she was raised and brought up by a series of droids, and servants, and tutors. At the age of ten Nemene was given a trial, one filled with the death and blood of those who had raised her since birth. Seeing the near emotionless state of his daughter Moridin fell in love and quickly began to spoil his daughter, dubbing her his little Raven. On this day she was named Nemene Athaem Talith, rightfully taking her place within the family.
It was also from this day forth that Nemene was treated as a princess. She wanted for nothing, and seemed to care for nothing. Her training continued every day, with each passing year she would grow more and more powerful and more and more ruthless. Eventually she grew into a true mirror of the Dreadlord.
It was when Nemene became an adult that Moridin seemingly forgot about her. Instead of coming for her as promised the Dreadlord seemed instead to become consumed with the dealings of the galaxy. The madness of his souls took him, and his selfishness broke his mind. Nemene was left in the outer rim. Waiting for her father to come.
It was five years of waiting that caused the young Sith Lady to spring into action. Tired of waiting, and tired of learning nothing more Nemene broke free from her luxury prison, slaughtering her servants and tutors and using her ship to leave the outer rim. Now she flies free within the galaxy, a Raven seeking prey.
Fighting With the Fringe:
After finding her way out into the galaxy Nemene stumbled upon an area of space controlled by the Lord of the Fringe. Unknown to her it was here that she would eventually find a home. Before this however Nemene decided to take a jaunt across several of the Fringe's planets. She had numerous little bouts on a few dozen Fringe worlds, clashing with locals and generally being a pain in the backside of many.
It was in one of these little adventures that Nemene met [member="Jared Ovmar"]. In an attempt to gain a little bit of fame Nemene, the future Queen of Byss entered herself in a tournament on her future homeworld of Rattatak. It was here that she showed off her combat prowess, rising quickly through the tournaments ranks and slicing through the competition. Her final match, pitted her against a man named the Glory Song. Apparently somewhat famous within the tournaments of Rattatak Nemene thought she had found a way to climb to fame, all she had to do was defeat this man, a simple task in her mind.
As it turned out, this task was not at all simple. The Glory Song, a man that turned out to be Jared Ovmar completely wiped the floor with the budding Sith Queen. Her strength proved to not be sufficient to defeat Jared, and the tournament Match ended in Nemene's complete and utter defeat. It was here that her healing was shown off for the first time, as soon after the match, Nemene's numerous wounds were completely gone. After the match the two competitors began a strange friendship that still holds true today.
It was on another one of these adventures that the extent of Nemene's uncontrollable Temper was shown off. During a jaunt to one of the richer Fringe worlds Nemene quite literally had a bump in with one space Meth Zombie known as Steph Zenima. When the ugly troll ran into her Nemene quickly overreacted. She grabbed the orc and proceeded to nearly beat it to death, using all her strength and all her fury to beat the woman over and over again.
It was near her death, that Steph Zenima sealed her fate. In an act of defiance the young woman spit into Nemenes mouth, causing fury unlike anyone had ever felt in the galaxy. Though Steph eventually escaped Nemene's clutches, she was later captured by the Queen of Rattatak and tortured to death. Her spine was ripped open, her skin was cut off, and a parasite was used to eventually kill her.
Meeting a Sister:
Shortly after the death of Steph Zenima Nemene took a short jaunt to Jabimi where she intended on killing one of the planets massive native inhabitants, in order to turn it into armor. Such a thing went quickly, and in the caves beneath the planet Nemene hunted one of the mighty Tikulini slugs.
Unbeknownst to her she was hardly the only one that was deep beneath the earth.
As she made her way through the pitch black caves Nemene for the first time in her life heard a voice in her head. It was a voice that she would eventually become intimately familiar with, that of her future Sister, Evelynn. The voice resounded in her head loudly. Experiencing something knew and unknown to her immediately enraged Nemene, and her anger erupted forth in the form of screams that called for the massive Tikulini slug. As she searched for the source of the voice the massive creature came from the blackness and attacked the two women, along with two other men who had mysteriously appeared within the caverns.
At the first sight of her Nemene knew Evelynn was the source of the voice within her head and the two briefly clashed against one another. Though they did not truly fight the two women bounced off one another, hitting each other, scratching, and even pinning one another against the wall. Eventually, in a fit of anger and Impatience Nemene utilized a massive burst of Force Lightning in order to kill the massive slug. The burst of light caused the unique sunstones of the planet to light up brighter than the flash of a nuclear bomb. The resulting flash blinded everyone in the room, Including Evelynn and Nemene.
The Future Queen of Rattatak however immediately healed herself, her eyesight recovering in a matter of seconds. Evelynn, not being so lucky lay screaming in the caves, ripe for plucking by Nemene. The Queen grasped Evelynn by the hair, and dragged her back to her ship.
Once the two were on the ship, Nemene decided to interrogate her new telepathy buddy and the two women conversed at length. This conversation revealed that Evelynn and Nemene held a unique force bond, if one died, so would the other. Finding this to be completely worthless Nemene one again became angry. She inflicted pain upon Evelynn, and broke more of her bones until eventually realizing that unlike others, she could not kill this woman. In a huff, Nemene healed Evelynn.
The result of the healing twisted Evelynn, changing her entirely and turning her into something new.
Rattatak:
This new creature was to Nemene's liking, and instead of a weight tied to her ankle she found herself a sister.
Evelynn and Nemene quickly grew close despite their odd meeting, the new twisted mind of Evelynn being very suited to Nemene's style of thinking. The two quickly began to create a unique relationship, one that was based on pain, death, and absolute control.
The First thing the two Sister Queens did was establish a base of power. With Nemene leading the charge the two women decided on the world of Rattatak to be their new home. The gladiator world proved to be the perfect base of operations for Nemene and Evelynn to begin their new lives. The world was filled with violence, slavery, and all the resources they needed to build a vast fortune. The two Sisters traveled to the planet and participated in a tournament hosted by the current governor and champion of Rattatak.
At the end of this tournament the two Sith challenged the governor to a fight, winner takes all.
The Governor, not wanting to be shamed by the uppity young women accepted the fight. Comically the man came down to the arena dressed in heavy armor and carrying powerful weapons. The two women however, still made short work of his massive bulk, cutting him into literal bits in only a few seconds. The fight took only a heartbeat or two, and afterwards the Two Women crowned themselves the Sister Queens of Rattatak.
From this point forth the next eight years were blissfully calm for the two sisters. Everything went well in their world. The two sisters became closer, Evelynn grew more powerful, and Nemene became stronger. The two worked well together and Rattatak quickly grew into somewhat of an economic powerhouse. Its massive Tournaments raised fortunes for the two Sister Queens, and its military training programs quickly expanded to supply the Fringe with a massive amount of troops.
As a celebration of their new found fortune and glory Nemene and Evelynn held their first official galactic Tournament. All were invited, Jedi, Sith, Mercenaries, and even Bounty Hunters. The Tournament of the Cauldron was held all over the galaxy and was a massive televised event. The individual fights garnered much galactic attention and eventually the matches were broadcast across the holonet. The tournament turned out to be a massive success, with [member="Mikhail Shorn"] the Throne breaker winning. The true winners however were Nemene and Evelynn, who garnered fame, and an almost unbelievably fast fortune for hosting such a galactic event.
The Tournament of the Cauldron inspired the Raven haired Queen, and quickly Nemene began her training anew. Every day she would fight gladiators from the pits, and every few months she would go out into the galaxy and seek new opponents. It was during this time that Nemene became a fierce and deadly opponent, fighting even Masters of the force and gaining the upper hand.
Captured:
Months after the Tournament, and after years of training herself to be the perfect weapon, Nemene was captured by the Jedi along with her Sister.
Their numerous tortures of Jedi and other innocents alike caught the attention of the Republic and the Jedi Order. On an outing for the two Sister Queen to Zygerria, The Jedi Order attempted to capture Nemene and Evelynn. Unfortunately for the two, the Jedi ended up succeeding. The circumstances for this capture were entirely Evelynn's fault. The girl in her rage killed a slaver, sparking the beginning of a conflict with a gathered group of Jedi.
The Two women were surrounded and began to fight, the arrival of Evelynn's former lover however put a quick end to her will to fight, and understanding the situation, Nemene surrendered herself.
Through deep seething rage Nemene sustained herself for the duration of their capture. Taunting and goading every Jedi that came to interrogate her, Nemene managed to entertain herself. Eventually, through her seething hatred Nemene managed to form a plan for their escape, and before the Jedi could stop them the two women managed to escape from Republic custody.
Poison:
After their capture at the hands of the Jedi Nemene began to plot against her sister. Of course Evelynn was severely punished after their escape, being beaten nearly to death and having numerous other tortures applied to her. Nemene however decided that this was not enough, and planned to further punish Evelynn.
Before carrying out this plot however Nemene had other things to take care of. Realizing how vulnerable the two of them were the Queen of Rattatak began exploration into creating a personal guard for the two of them. First she looked into mercenaries, then into droids, and finally into the creation of clones. The idea of genetically creating personal guards appealed to her, and quickly she began to experiment with creating her own personal army.
The beginning of this was learning how. This was accomplished through the stealing of secrets and her friendship with Jared Ovmar. It took only a short few months before Nemene began to realize her dream. Dubbing her creations, Sirens Nemene's personal guard began to take form. Trained by both herself and Evelynn, and made to be the perfect pairings for the two Sister Queens the Sirens quickly grew into a perfect guard.
It was after the creation of her guard that Nemene carried out her plot against Evelynn. Fearing that her Sister was growing beyond her control, and that she was fading away Nemene poisoned Evelynn.
For over a year Nemene fed Evelynn a mysterious plant causing her extreme illness. Fever, hallucinations, and all sorts of sickness wracked Evelynn's body. For months upon months Nemene tricked her Sister into believing herself ill, conning her into thinking that she was a burden upon the Queen of Rattatak. For nearly a year this ruse was sustained and for nearly a year Evelynn sustained constant humiliation, pain, and suffering.
The poisoning continued, until one day, a slave told Evelynn the truth.
The Meek Master:
Nemene took a trip away from Rattatak, and during this time Evelynn learned the secret of what had been going on. A slave whispered into her ear, and told her the truth. Nemene had been poisoning her sister, manipulating her, and controlling her in every which way. The Silent Sister, infuriated beyond all belief dragged herself out of bed. She released her beasts, and a slaughter unlike any other began. Every slave, every living thing inside of the palace was slaughtered, blood, guts, and bodies smeared the walls as Evelynn sat on Nemene's throne, waiting for her sister to return.
It was this that Nemene walked into, a palace filled with blood.
Tentatively Nemene made her way to the Throne room, there finding her Sister enraged by what she had done. Evelynn demanded the truth over and over again, and each time Nemene denied the accusation, claiming she had no hand in poisoning Evelynn or ever harming her.
Evelynn's anger grew with each denial, her rage becoming stronger and stronger. Quickly she began to inflict pain on Nemene, hurting and harming her internal organs until finally, the Raven haired Queen could no longer take the pain. Through the hurt and the agony, Nemene admitted her treachery. She cried out, and told Evelynn what she had done.
In that very moment, Evelynn used her reach into Nemene's mind and broke her. Gripping Nemene's confidence, her narcissism, and everything that made her herself, Evelynn shattered it with the force. In a second, what had been wrought over twenty eight years of life was completely and utterly destroyed, and Nemene Talith was turned into a shadow of her former self. She filled with anxiety, fear, and every other unwanted emotion that was completely new to her. She became a quivering wretch, direct only by Evelynns hand.
The next year and a half was filled with Misery for the Raven haired Queen. Her new found anxiety and meekness was used against her by her sister. Torture and humiliation filled her days. Pain and shame filled her nights.
Nemene for a year was little better than a slave, a doll to be used and played with as Evelynn saw fit. Everything that Nemene ever did to Evelynn, was returned in the form of anguish. Unlike her Sister Nemene did not enjoy the pain, and she suffered for month after month, finding solace only in a slave woman who seemed to sympathize with her.
It was during this time that Nemene's skill in genetics was put to good use for Evelynn. The Silent Sister began to force Nemene to create beasts for her. Verinth and Stalkers were the first to come from Meek Nemene, the perfect Vornskr as they were called by Evelynn. The beasts became staples of the Queens of Rattatak, and along with the Sirens the beasts were seen quite often around the two Queens.
As time went on Nemene through the help of her slave friend began to grow moreand more back into her old self. Anxiety slowly faded away, and fear was replaced by strength.
Slowly Nemene returned to form, until finally...
Return:
A year and a half passed, time seemed to inch along, and Nemene grew back into herself.
Slowly but surely, she regained what she once was, and on one day, as Evelynn chained her under the sun of Rattatak and sliced into her flesh, she decided that finally she had enough. As the knife sliced into her one final time Nemene seemed to shake and shudder, strength rising within her like never before. She seized the force, biting into her chains and growing in strength and her own confidence grew back into itself.
Nemene grasped against her chain, the force overtaking her and granting her strength enough to break free of her bonds. In a panic, the Silent Sister stabbed Nemene, calling to her an telling her to cease her foolish rebellion.
The rolling ball of strength could not be stopped however, and before Evelynn could even react, Nemene broke free from her chains. Power flowed through her, and for the first time in her life the Darkside of the force began to mar Nemene's skin. Deep flowing lines of purple cut into her skin, intricately carving beautiful lines and symbols into her flesh. As the darkside enveloped her fully and changed her Nemene broke into Evelynn's mind. She strengthened the bond between them, and forced Evelynn to speak.
The Silent Sister swore herself to Nemene, completely and totally.
Evelynn became bound to Nemene, completely this time. Sworn to follow Nemene's every order and command. The first of which, was that she Silent Sister worship her. Now with a Doll to dress and use as she pleased, Nemene renewed her plots within the galaxy, intending to see the rise of an Empire built on Slavery.
