APPEARANCE AND DESCRIPTION​

The Stalker known as Corvus is an enigma even amongst their own kind. Reportedly, the Stalker has never once removed their armor in public or around alien species - a universal practice in the Siris Sharon species that draws some comparisons to some Mandalorian clans. However, Corvus has practiced this to the extreme, having never once taken off the armor even among their own people, which is excepted and encouraged. This is how it has been since it was acquired during their youth, and even then the Stalker was rarely seen by their own kind. Their existence and proof of life were maintained by their parents until they began making public appearances during their teens. This particular variation of the cultural practice is known as "Bopak paa Haako," or "Covering in Darkness." It is, humorously enough, quite common in the extremist religious groups in the Siris Sharon, of which to one many believe the Stalker's parent's belonged.

The young Corvus went as far as to go into hiding to make necessary modifications to the suit as they grew in age and size, solely to maintain their anonymity. This anonymity itself went to absurd lengths as to see the Stalker completely remove all documentation of their name and replace it with a callsign: Corvus. Such length of time without any single person ever seeing what the Stalker looks like as well as their name beyond their family name has led to them becoming somewhat of a minor legend in the Siris Sharon. It has also led to them becoming a thing of ridicule among the much more populous traditional groups of the Siris Sharon who believe that to hide in armor for all time under a pseudonym is to deny true legend status in the Galaxy, which the species believes is the only way to gain entry into their afterlife of "Lìngak Lìmà," or "the Great Verse."

Corvus has ignored and disproved every single doubter in their life and has sought to achieve their goals through their own methods. Often, these sought-after goals have been achieved with a quick hunter's brutality, crossed off the Stalker's list mere days after being written down. Others have taken quite some time, such as the forging and/or claiming of a Jedi/Sith's lightsaber and the creation of their own starship. Yet, the length of these "hunts," as they have named them, has not deterred them in any way. Due to the frequency of these hunts, Corvus has developed a mastery of short-ranged melee combat with multiple martial arts and knife combat, the latter being their favored form of dispatching enemies. While also skilled with ranged combat to a degree, Corvus is only so in the weaponry of the Siris Sharon, which are integrated into their armor and controlled via associated computer systems.

At some point in time before joining the Brotherhood of the Maw, for reasons that are - as of yet - undisclosed, the Stalker took on a vow of silence, cutting off all verbal communication with spoken languages. How the Stalker speaks to their comrades to get around this limitation is either through sign language or feral noises such as roars, growls, whistles, and howls.

Corvus is also known to frequently listen to metal and rock music gathered from across the galaxy and has a built-in speaker system in their helmet, adding a thematic soundtrack to combat that does not require much stealth.

STRENGTHS​

• Tracker: Due in part to their equipment and mostly due to their Siris Sharon genetic traits, the Stalker is an adept tracker of prey, both living or otherwise (droids, undead, etc). With their helmet's visor, the Stalker is capable of identifying tracks in the environment with the most minute of evidence. They can subsequently form a detailed - and nearly perfect - mental image of their target simply from the physical details they gathered. With their genetic traits, the Stalker can filter out surrounding sounds, smells, and sights for specific ones. With this, they can add even more details to either the mental image of their target or visualize the environment to plot out the best route to engage in combat or avoid detection. Built out of lean bulk, the Stalker is also capable of moving across the environment like a Narglatch - and has even been reported to climb buildings with similar dexterity without associated gear. This is combined with physical strength comparable to that of a Binarian Sabercat, which allows the Stalker to assault their prey with surprising - but not truly overwhelming - power.
• CQC: Corvus is exceptionally skilled in several forms of martial arts along with various forms of knife combat, some of which they have developed themselves. Some of these forms even resemble Lightsaber combat - most commonly Reverse Shien - which is believed to be a form of mockery or mind games.
• Anonymity: The greatest strength of the Stalker is their anonymity, gained through their strict code of never removing their armor, vow of silence, stealth, and the general mystique of their species. In fact, it is only known that they belong to the Siris Sharon due to the presence of others near them on occasion throughout the Brotherhood of the Maw's territory. This allows the Stalker to work undisturbed by recognition throughout the Galaxy and has brought them many riches and levels of success, but little to no fame.

WEAKNESSES​

• Devout Extremism: The hardcore belief system that Corvus follows employs a great deal of rigidity on social conduct and practices that must be followed daily. Their armor must be worn at all times unless completely alone with absolutely no possible avenues to be seen through. They have also taken a vow of silence which is to be upheld during the entirety of their employment in the Brotherhood of the Maw, even when others of their species are present - and even when they return to the Transient Armada. Other practices have also been recorded in either their journal or by the rare ally on a hunt. Such practices include ritualistic dissection of an enemy, harvesting of bones, and other vile actions in accordance with the codes laid down by their superiors. All of this combined has severely limited the Stalker's ability to develop true social experiences and abilities, making them an outcast both among their own species and almost all others in the Galaxy. This lack of social anything forces Corvus to keep to the shadows in every environment, which can make even allies view them as a threat and create violent situations that could have been easy to avoid.
• Army Engagements: Trained for smaller-scale combat, Corvus is at a massive disadvantage in larger-scale combat. Such engagements present far too many enemies and disruptions to the Stalker's normal methods of planning and result in Corvus suffering mental overloads. Thus, they avoid such combat as often as they can.
• Need for the Hunt: For Corvus, the "hunts" are a drug that they need to have injected into their veins in order to function. Only capable of going, at most, two days without participating in one, the Stalker's need for them is perhaps their greatest weakness. Going longer than two days leaves them homicidal on a manic level.
