---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES (Required: 2 Weaknesses Minimum) :
Strengths
War-Ravaged Martial Arts Training:
After his abandonment by his mother on Kiffu, Tanis was "adopted" by a clan of traveling arms-dealers. Exploring the galaxy, from one war-torn planet to another, Tanis learned the grim realities of life on the run. Always being fascinated with the different types of unarmed combat, Tanis was always on the lookout for individuals that he could learn something from.
After coming into contact with people of a wide-variety of martial arts disciplines, Tanis adopted and expanded on his limited knowledge and eventually created his own hybrid form of combat.
His personal system employed the Echani form of martial arts, with Teras Kasi techniques adopted and adapted into it, making him a formidable force of martial prowess at an early age.
Dual Blade Lightsaber Form Fanatic:
Upon learning of his affinity for the Force, Tanis declined an offer to train at the Academy on Korriban. Still intrigued with combat of all forms, and dedicated to the pursuit of mastering all forms of combat, he would con his adopted parents into making deals in areas where he thought he could find individuals who could give him informal training in the various swordsmanship techniques. After becoming an efficient duelist with a Vibro-Sword, using Jar'Kai techiniques to religiously wield two of the dangerous weapons, he learned of a form of lightsaber combat referred to as Trakata. He became fascinated with the form, and returned to Korriban for formal training in Sith ways. Mainly, due to his lack of being able to acquire a lightsaber to practice with.
Tanis is, to date, a practicioner of all of the Jar'Kai adaptations of lightsaber combat, along with an exceptional ability to utilize Dun Moch form and Trakata. He is currently in the process of learning the Vapaad form.
Kiffar Psychometry:
Being born a Kiffar, Tanis possesses the racial ability to read the memories of inanimate objects and corpses, yet he doesnt possess the rare ability to read the memories of living beings.
Weaknesses
Limited Single Blade Knowledge
Due to his fascination to dual bladed fighting techniques, Tanis never spent the time to learn basic single bladed lightsaber techniques. When faced with combat using a single blade, Tanis feels very unbalanced, not knowing what to do with his off-hand. This makes him feel uncomfortable, and therefore is able to be exploited. He is currently looking for an individual who can give him insight and training for single blade combat.
Unknowledgable in Form "Zero"
Form "Zero", which was developed by Master Yoda many years ago, teaches its practicioners to utilize more logical forms of gaining the upper hand in a situation without having to resort to acts of violence.
Even tho being taught by Sith, Tanis never took the time to develop his Force abilities, although he had a natural affinity for the Force Lightning technique. His inexperience with utilizing the Force in an offensive and defensive manner, leaves him almost wide open to attacks of this nature.
SHIP:
Tanis owns an upgraded reconstruction of Galen Marek's Rogue Shadow.
-Boasts an advanced hyperdrive with a rating of Class 1, advanced sensor arrays, and an experimental cloaking device which renders the Sith Shadow invisible for short periods of time.
-Armed with dual laser cannons, a single turbolaser cannon, and two Proton Torperdo tubes.

-Equipped with two of the fastest sublight engines to date.
-Color scheme is solid black with scarlette red accents and designs of native Kiffar tattoos, due to him not having received his.
BIOGRAPHY:
Born, Tanis Val'Dorn on the planet of Kiffu, Tanis was abandoned at birth by his mother. Spending his first 6 years in an orphinage in a remote location on the planet, Tanis was eventually adopted by a group of traveling outlaw arms-dealers after attempting to rob one of its members. Traveling the galaxy with the group, Tanis learned all the tricks of the trade, seemily destined for a life of smuggling arms and equipment into war-ravaged systems.
Around the age of 12, Tanis stumbled across individuals willing to teach him advanced self defense techniques, after showing an affinity for martial arts. Tanis became addicted, and learned all he could from whoever was willing to teach him.
Upon a trip to Korriban, Tanis was introduced to melee combat. Immediately being fascinated by the ability to end someone's life with the flick of his wrist, Tanis absorbed all the knowledge about this form of combat that he could, becoming
coldly efficient utilizing dual Vibro-Swords. While on Nar'Shadaa, he came upon a Sith Saber who was fascinated with the boy, and recognized the boy's natural affinity to the Force. The Sith offered to take Tanis back to Korriban for formal training.
Unwilling to abandon the group that he now recognized as family, Tanis declined his offer. So instead, the Sith taught him the Jar'Kai fighting style, which only optimized the boy's talent using dual bladed weapons. He was also introduced to the Trakata form
of lightsaber combat, but was unable to learn it due to his lack of training with a lightsaber.
After spending two more years with the band of smugglers, Tanis returned to Korriban and was inducted into the Sith Academy. On a training mission, Tanis stumbled across the schematics for a Sith ship that was used by the apprentice to Darth Vader.
He started work on his ship immediately.
During his training, he was introduced to Sith who called himself Darth Frigus. The two seemed to share a bond of some kind, and immediately became friends even tho there was a 4 year difference in their ages. The two immediately began their search for power,
a passion that both of the boys shared. Darth Frigus had an ancient Sith Holocron in his possession. From the holocron, the boys learned various forms of lightsaber combat, and ancient Sith knowledge. Tanis excercised his affinity for the Dark Side through his lightsaber prowess, and his natural affinity for the Force lightning technique.
It has been many years since then, the Sith Shadow is now complete, Tanis' knowledge of combat has expended enormously, and now the galaxy seems ready for all out war. Now is the time where Tanis will have to rely on all his knowledge, and all of his training to bring an end to the tyrrany of the Republic and its allies. The time for the Sith Empire to rise is NOW! Long live the Sith!
