WEAPONS
-Force Imbued Bo that can be split in the middle and converted into a saber staff named Aurora: This weapon was originally purchased for his wife, but now Nicholas wields it, and over the years has made several adjustments. The original staff was an ancient echani fighting staff, however no-one knows that Nicholas actually split the original staff into two pieces, giving one to his late wife, while keeping the other half. This half was later attached to a saber staff designed to look identical to the staff, granting it the deceptive appearance of the original staff. Later a rogue jedi taught Nicholas how to imbue the non-saber half of the weapon with the force, making it impervious to lightsaber strikes, thus preserving it in a fight with a force user, as well as giving it the ability to deflect blaster bolts.
> Saber Staff Details: Hilt is wrapped in wood identical to the echani staff, and has a golden blade
- Weskar 34 Blaster Pistol
STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES (Required: 2 Weaknesses Minimum) :
Strengths
- Physically fit, due to his epicanthix blood: As an Epicanthix, Nicholas was raised as a warrior, which involved vigorous physical training. This coupled with his genetics makes him a very strong and agile man.
- Martially trained warrior, skilled with a multitude of weapons: Due to his epicanthix upbringing, as well as his jedi training, Nicholas is very formidable in a fight. It is what makes most crews look past his flaws.
-Deceptively clever and charming: While he comes off at as a boor upon first impression, Nicholas has a silver tongue and can make people like him and do what he wants with great ease. This, coupled with his looks, makes him a 'Lady Killer'.
- Powerful in the force: While he never completed his ascension to Jedi Knighthood, he has a very strong affinity with the force. Should an occasion arise where he uses the force, it is often a display of great power.
Weakness
- Addict: Due to events in his life, Nick suffers from a sleuth of addictions including but not limited to: A variety of spices, Narcotics, Alcohol, Sex and Gambling
- Mentally Damaged: Unlike most Epicanthix, Nick has been mentally broken, thus he is susceptible not only to mental attacks, but also suffers from a myriad of mental disorders. These include hallucinations, multiple personalities, bipolar disorder, depression, anxiety, memory loss, night terrors, black outs and schizophrenia. He uses his addictions to keep most of these at bay, however while sober he has episodes.
- Rejection of the Force: As a part of his past, Nicholas cast aside the force (by choice), and has to be pushed past the brink in order to resort to it.
APPEARANCE:
Nicholas is a prime example of his race. Standing at a height of 6'5", he is by no means the tallest of his kind, yet his stature and build give him an intimidating appearance. He has raven black hair, which is often cut short and combed backwards. He also has a beard, trimmed short, that covers his jaw and chin. His eyes matched his hair- while dark brown they looked nearly pitch black.
Jokingly referred to as the man in black, Nicholas is usually seen sporting a fine black button up, buttoned all the way to the top to hide his tattoos (which cover the majority of his torso) along with a black trench coat and matching black pants.
BIOGRAPHY:
This is the tale of Nicholas Corvosi: The man who had given all up for one thing- Love. But alas, this is not a happy tale; this is a tragedy. Born and raised on Coruscant by Epicanthix, Nicholas was trained to be a warrior from a young age. His parents sought for him to enlist in the army, as was the tradition of many Epicanthix. This changed, however, when it was discovered that Nicholas was force sensitive and had a powerful connection to it. As such, his parents sent him to join the jedi at the age of 15, where he trained in the ways of the force.
Many years passed, and Nicholas was about to take his trials to attain the title of Jedi Knight. That was when he met the woman that would become the love of his life- Aurora. It was a chance meeting, but something gripped Nicholas' heart, leading him to believe it was the will of the force that their paths would meet, converge, and become one. The only hitch in this was the jedi tradition of abandoning physical attachment. Nicholas left the order that very day, and pursued the woman who would become the only thing that mattered.
They courted, then became married when Nicholas was 25 years old. And they lived a happy life for 3 years. And so ends the happy tale of Nicholas. Now begins the descent.
One night, Nicholas -who now worked as a private investigator- was working late. On his way home, he decided to buy his wife a gift in apology. He had been training her in combat, to share his culture with her. She took a preference to the ancient fighting staff, known as the Bo. Nicholas had a client that dealt in such artifacts, and the client was more than willing to oblige his favorite detective. It took some time for Nicholas to pick the right staff- it had to be the perfect weight and design, for his wife was a picky woman. Finally he came to select an expensive Echani Bo, made from dense wood with a metal core. The wood itself had ornate carvings that travelled the length of the Bo. He paid the man and made his way home. But he never stepped past the threshold, nor did his wife ever receive his gift.
Instead of being greeted by the site that made his heart race with joy, he saw something that made his heart stop. Something that haunts his dreams to this very day. Police, an ambulance, a stretcher, and a lifeless hand with a golden band on it's ring finger. That was the day that his world died, and the day that the darkness in his heart was born.
He got his revenge, eventually, but in doing so his mind was broken. Now Nicholas can be found roaming from crew to crew, and cantina to cantina. Rumor had it that he had become a troublesome patron that often overindulged. Other rumors state that the only reason crews took him on was that he was one of the greatest trigger men out there- he never flopped on a job. The most disturbing rumor of all was that he became something evil when provoked, and had once wiped out an entire crew, alone, with dark magics. But that was rumor...
The one thing that can be said of Nicholas was that he was once a happy man, but was ripped away from that privilege. The galaxy had chewed him up, and spat him out as a broken shadow of his former self. And he still carried the staff meant for his wife, as a constant reminder that the galaxy was a cruel and unforgiving place.
SHIP: None, he rides along with which ever crew hires him for a job, then wanders until he picks up a new job.
