Many of these are double edged swords

Current Strengths and Weaknesses:

• + Drawn to unlock Force Power and Potential.
• - Can barely see anything but those strong with the force, everything else has faded to insignificance.
• -/+ An incorporeal Shade.
• - Stuck in his purpose to create stronger Sith, the long conflict the only thing sustaining his form.
• + Works through many agents.

Past Strengths and Weaknesses

Spoiler

Weaknesses:

• Cannot use elemental abilities due to losing too much of himself.
• Every child he's had has been taken from him and denied him.
• Dull senses to anything but force signature/potential; the world is slowly fading away to him.
• Armor supports his crumbling physical body, giving him strength but killing him.
• Blind pride: very little is good enough for him, an emotion he only partially conquered.
• Betrayer of his people, who are his all-consuming focus, along with breeding stronger Sith.
• Braced legs are both a strength and a vulnerability; armor mitigates some of this problem.
• Compelled to unlock the potential in every Force user by any means necessary, regardless of faction.

Strengths:

• Strong force-based abilities that manipulate the living Force.
• Echani heritage: lives and breathes combat, reading people through it despite losing much of his Echani identity.
• Uses wounds as battle cries, sacrificing everything to win and embracing those sacrifices repeatedly.
• Indomitable survivor: keeps coming despite being chopped up, bearing wounds as trophies and using them for strength.
• Extensive variety of Force techniques and experience.
• Skilled in getting into opponents' minds.
• Deep knowledge and love of history.
• Relentless fighter: the more you give him, the harder he fights. Acceptance is his weakness.
• Needs purpose to drive him, inspiring it in others by any means. Without purpose, he lacks impetus or a cause to function.

Appearance:

Hard to spot, a shade, dark and lingering despite its long death. Curled in jagged edges of its own torment and armor that consumed it. The shadow around it more pronounced than the shade itself, giving the appearance of a deep endless pit or void. Many dead linger nearby, those trapped within its torment or bound to its will.

Past Appearances

Spoiler

Pre-Bonding with Krayt's Armor:

• Dry white hair and cracked, decaying skin.
• Midnight irises crushing the remaining silver in his eyes, making them look like hardened shells.
• Rebuilt limbs, twisted back to their original form, using pain from wounds to fuel his actions.
• Scars from Force lightning on his face and body.
• Metal bracings in his feet and limbs, built of duraplast, giving strong footing but draining agility. He moves like a juggernaut when in motion.

Post-Bonding with Krayt's Armor:

• Red skin, black markings, and yellow bestial eyes.
• Body being eaten away by the armor, but original strength is slowly returning as it devours him.

Ship:

Listed in items post.

Kills:

Many.

Bounties Collected:
Beneath him.

[Raien Keth]

Short Summary of Raien Keth Now

A shadow and specter lingering in the galaxy by sheer force of will. He is barely able to see or interact with anything other than the strongest force potential within others.

Short Summary of Raien Keth Past

Spoiler

Raien crushes others until he unlocks their potential, twisting their causes, motivations, lives, and minds. He believes in creating strong Jedi to create stronger Sith by fighting them. Raien thinks he is helping when he tricks someone into poisoning their family, watching it as character development. He gives hatred, anger, and passion, using himself as a center for conflict in the galaxy. This is pure Keth, and what he's done to many families and characters over the years to 'help' them.

Major Plot Points to Date - Stories lost to time.

Thyrsus and the Restoration of the Echani

700 years ago, Raien tried to restore the scattered Echani people and give them a home on Thyrsus. Elected general of the Thyrsus war council, he attempted to start a war with Serenno to unify his people. He assassinated several senators and arranged weapons contracts to rebuild Thyrsus. Feeling betrayed by his former lover and the Dark Jedi, he turned to the Sith, believing others too weak to fight for a stronger galaxy.

Hana Kae and Family

Hana, the mother of Raien's child, was a big part of his life. They were at odds over their child and the fate of their people, entangled in a cycle of revenge. His brother Aiden, sister Issra, and elders on Wodenstam remained important to him despite his fall to the Sith. He had a second child, Aizen, with his lover Xion, whom he protected fiercely.

The Sun Guard and the Sith Meditation Sphere

On Thyrsus, Raien reawakened the former Sith Cult, the Sun Guard. They served as covert tools, guards, agents, and assassins. The Sith Meditation Sphere, an ancient Sith craft, came into his possession. The Sun Guard, few in number, protected the sphere with inhuman ferocity. Darth Preoliator, another powerful Sith, competed for control, while some were influenced by Nova on Kashyyyk.

Sanctuary

Raien and his companion Sith Nova established a city in the deeper forests of Kashyyyk. Sanctuary hid their combined research, artifacts, and secrets. Though their Master oversaw the sanctuary, each member had personal projects hidden in Kashyyyk's lower forests. Raien conducted his first experiments on slaves and prisoners within its depths.

Background Before Leaving His Home

Raien was born and raised on Wodenstam in the outer rim, meditating and learning personal combat. He grew up in a reclusive Echani community, valuing honor, discipline, and commitment. Drawn by the Force, he injured a sibling in a duel and left to find peace off-world. His disciplined mind now struggles with the emotional release taught by the Force, constantly at odds with the Echani way.

Not entirely sure why you need so many reserved posts, but to received a rank transfer you request the tag in the tag request thread, with a link to a thread proving your rank from another site. If you have that link, then you do not need to worry about the rest.

Thanks for the heads up! The link is in that wall of text but i'll offer it there.

No problem, just something I learned during my own rank transfer.
