NULL-7 "CINDER"

Species: Human (Wookieepedia)

Height: 1.73 meters

Force Sensitive: Force-Dead (former untrained sensitive; severed via Kiev'ara siphon)
PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION
Null-7 is a compact, wiry human built for endurance rather than brute strength. His frame bears the marks of extreme training: old blade scars, reinforced muscle density, and the rigid posture of someone conditioned to move with absolute control. His skin carries an ash-gray undertone, a lingering effect of Force severance, and his eyes are a dull, lifeless gray, ringed with faint vascular shadowing at the temples.
He carries himself with cold, deliberate precision. Every movement is economical, intentional, and quiet. In the field he wears LO-62C Commando Armor in a matte, non-reflective finish with muted teal trim. His helmet integrates a silent communications array and low-profile optics optimized for close-quarters hunting and low-light infiltration. There is nothing ornamental about him; Null-7 looks exactly like what he is meant to be: a weapon that learned to walk.
INVENTORY
- LO-62C Commando Armor
- LO-20D Submachine gun Variation
- LO-22S Sidearm
- Broken LO-10M sword which he uses as a dagger/ knife
- Standard demolition charges and sabotage tools (mission-dependent)
PERSONALITY AND BELIEFS
Null-7 is detached, deliberate, and emotionally muted. He speaks rarely, and when he does his words are blunt, tactical, or edged with grim, dry sardonicism. He does not posture, threaten, or boast. He believes in results, not recognition.
What defines him is not cruelty, but choice. He volunteered for Force severance knowing exactly what would be lost. That act of willpower sits at the core of his identity. He does not resent the Force; he simply stepped away from it, permanently, to serve a purpose he deemed worth the cost.
He believes the mission matters more than the self, and that fear is something to be burned away rather than managed. Praise means nothing to him. Failure, however, is intolerable.
STRENGTHS
- Invisible in the Force: Null-7 cannot be sensed, anticipated, influenced, or tracked through the Force. Precognition, emotional reading, and aura detection simply fail against him.
- Unbreakable Resolve: Having already endured the erasure of his Force presence, Null-7 is exceptionally resistant to torture, intimidation, and psychological warfare. His clarity of purpose does not crack easily.
- Counter-Force Specialist: Extensively trained against Jedi and Sith combat doctrine, including lightsaber recovery exploitation, flash-blind assaults, null-field maneuvering, and coordinated team overwhelms.
- Adaptive Operative: Can function independently with minimal support, improvising infiltration routes, sabotage plans, and demolitions under hostile conditions.
- Elite Conditioning: Graduated through the Silent Blades, Hidden Flames program, making him one of the Lilaste Order's most refined anti-Force commandos.
- Linguistic Aptitude: Null-7 possesses a natural knack for learning new languages and dialects at an accelerated rate. Through exposure, pattern recognition, and contextual immersion, he can rapidly achieve functional proficiency in unfamiliar tongues, accents, and trade cant. This allows him to adapt quickly during undercover operations, intercept unencrypted communications, and operate in multi-species environments without reliance on translators. His aptitude extends to technical jargon and coded speech commonly used by criminal networks, smugglers, and paramilitary groups.
WEAKNESSES
- Medical Dependency: Null-7 cannot benefit from Force healing or augmentation and relies entirely on conventional medicine. Injuries take time and resources to recover from.
- Hollowed Identity: Force severance left him emotionally blunted. Under extreme stress, he can slip into dissociation or excessively mechanical brutality.
- Irreversible Transformation: The severance process is permanent. There is no cure, no reversal, and no second chance if the strain becomes too great.
- Void Detectability: Force-sensitives experienced with Force-dead operatives, or trained specifically to recognize them, may perceive the unnatural "absence" Null-7 represents.
- Physically Vulnerable: While immune to many Force effects, physically manifested Force attacks such as lightning, telekinetic impact, or environmental manipulation still affect him normally.

Cinder was born in the Mid Rim territories before they came under the Lilaste Order's influence. Like many Order soldiers, his early life was defined by service. He proved himself in routine infantry campaigns, where his discipline, endurance, and willingness to carry others through collapsing situations marked him for advancement.
When the Commando Program was announced, he was hand-selected and given a choice: remain in the line corps or accept a path that would cost him his name, anonymity, and eventually the Force itself. He accepted without hesitation.
Training reduced him to nothing and rebuilt him into something colder. The Silent Blades, Hidden Flames regimen subjected him to legacy trials, deprivation cycles, live-blade sparring, and survival gauntlets across hostile climates. He endured Force severance at Kiev'ara without breaking, emerging Force-dead and irrevocably changed.
From that point forward, he operated as a void asset within Diarchy-controlled space. His missions included deep-strike raids against pirate fortresses, dismantling smuggling networks along major trade routes, and precision sabotage against separatist militias. During a classified operation on Dantooine, he led arrests of Jedi operatives tied to a suspected sentient smuggling ring later traced to New Jedi Order coordination.
His official record was erased for deniability. Within the Commando Corps, however, his legacy remains intact. Recruits are still taught about the first void operatives, soldiers who willingly surrendered the Force to become unseen blades in the dark. Cinder stands among them not as a hero, but as proof that devotion taken far enough can hollow a man into something far more dangerous.
