- Force Sensitivity: Rare
- Bond Servant: Mentally broken down and pressed into serving the Morning Star as her most devout. The Fallanassi were of interest and she took some to twist and corrupt.
- From the ID: Their massive beasts are not real in terms of flesh and blood... they are manifestations of their mind using the white current to make a physical illusion so real it can be interacted with.
- Engine of Destruction: The massive beasts created by the faithful through the white current are just that... massive when sent to handle heretics and outsiders. They will not stop until everything in their path is crushed.
- Mental Fortitude: Like most and all firebirds the mental stresses and brutal treatment in training have scarred the firebirds... mentally connecting to them sends those memories into the infiltrator letting them know and feel the experiences.
- Force Light: As sithspawn corrupted by the darkside the Faithful are vulnerable to force light.
- Lobotomy: THeir illusions are so focused on to become near physical that they act close to a sith familiar... damage done to it usually with the lightside of the force or enough destruction to destroy it can have a dangerous effect on the mental facilities of the faithful and leave them catatonic.
- Force Nullification: The white current is the force albiet a different method of using it... the illusions are powerful and highly specialized but if the force is unable to be touched they cannot be used.
- Brittle Bones: THe faithfuls bodies have been corrupted and grafted... sith runes of force energy to press and twist them into servants of the firebirds. Without the force their bones can shatter as the force it not holding them together and the damage is extensive.
- Spot the Flaw: While it is a white current illusion the faithfuls power is not perfect... those versed in spotting and feeling the current can detect the truth albiet with work at first as they are focusing allof their power to make it seem physical.
- Diet: Omnivore:
- Communication: Hand movements, mental telepathy
- Technology level: Galactic Standard
- Religion/Beliefs: Twisted and turned from the fairly isolationist and reclusive types into devout servants of the Morning star... Their purpose to be her almost handmaidens who follow her around and when she brings the judgement of the firebirds they are there to unleash it.
- General behavior: Among the firebirds they are considered the most zealotous.. the most faithful and the highest level of servants... towards their former people the Fallanassi they are considered abominations as they have taken their teachings and turned them into something vile and corrupted... using the current to wash away millions of lives. Among each other they are cloistered... living only in the grand citadel of the Morning star and serving as handmaidens... others are sent out to serve alongside envoys so that should and when the need arises to unleash the fury of the firebirds... they can be there and the white currents perception can be beneficial in some cases.
Created from the twisted and corrupted fallanassi who were captured as the protectorate helped them flee the one sith. The few ships were smallerr in size and Balaya really had no idea of a purpose for them aside from trying to find a way to corrupt and turn their abilities to sith use... with the fall of the One sith the sith herself largely became reclusive and finding the firebirds who werre lost. THey hadn't yet encountered what would change them and bringing them together with what was the terrible glare and death witches saw a new group form on the darkside world far in the unknown regions. THe Morning Star becoming the highest authority and bringing about a religion among them that would see her needing servants... Balaya brought these being out.
The work on twisting them was easy enough experiments into sith poisons to induce darkside tendencies were easy enough... the sith runes she adopted for the firebirds to have engraved upon their bones to strengthen them were simple as well... it was the indoctrination balanced with them having enough awareness of their skills that was the trick. She got good at hacking them at it were and using kyber spikes like the morning star to get them in just the right position to take down theirrr resistances to suggestion and mental torture. Eventually they started listening and following the sermons of the Morning star... becoming a twisted version of what they would have been as herr most faithful creatures. The real peak of the corruption came as they were prone to self harm among each other and showing their devotion to their master.
Balaya spent more time working to twist and corrupt the teachings of the isolationist Fallanassi... with their skills in the white current a thing of legend she would hopefully be able to get the better results and something happened... when one was in session her illusions took shape into a horrible creature... writhing arms and eyes... teeth in strange places... and scales... it was like a blob of flesh and teeth but it was able to move around until she woke the creature up from her slumber. She had dozed off from the strain and the sith lord herself brought her back. THe experiments brought fruit though as she was able to make the corrupted beings enter a deep sleep which would allow them to enter and use the current projecting their inner thoughts as a monstrous creature.
The tempering and work done to create this strange power for them was impressive and a means for their minds to focus and be used when they enter a catatonic state creating immersion in the white current and illusions that are solid and almost seem completely real. THe massive creatures would then feed on the loop of mental torture and pain inflicting it upon where they were as it tried to protect itself but didn't know from what. Balaya worked on them more though for the firebirds and they were still some of the most loyal with a few able to be trained for the techniques but it turned itself into a quest to find more of the isolated and hidden force users who could serve to expand and add to the faithful among the firebirds.
