  • Name: Nota
  • Designation: Sentient
  • Homeworld: N/A
  • Language: Sith, Galactic Basic
  • Average height of adults: Varies from the original race.
  • Skin color: While the skin matches the race before death, it is much paler, sometimes even just turning white regardless.
  • Hair color: With the corruption of the Dark Side flowing through a Nota's body, the hair is the first to go, turning pale white or grey.
  • Breathes: The Nota do not need to breath.
Strengths:
  • Undead- The Nota do not need to breath. Their heart does not function. Remove an arm and they will not feel it. Stab their heart and they will not die. They are the truest sense of a reanimated corpse. Burning the body or destroying the head will end their unlife, however.
  • Beings of Darkness- Nota exist from the Dark Side of the Force. Where the Darkside is stronger, they are as well. Yet, they cannot be simply destroyed by draining the Dark Side from them. They will weaken, possibly even go into a state of unawareness if the drain was too large, but they will slowly return if not destroyed.
  • Painless- As an expansion of the Undead trait, they do not feel physical pain of any kind. While they don't feel the pain, the injuries are very real. If you shatter a Notan arm, they cannot use it. If you cut the Achilles tendon of a Nota, they will not be able to walk. They can be disabled like any other person, but they simply wont feel it.
  • Breathless- Similar to the Painless perk, this is an expansion of the Undead trait. They do not need to breath, meaning that posioness gasses, water, the lack of air in space. None of that affects them.

    Similarly, poison of any kind or anything that infects living flesh do not work. They are Undead. Thus, no living flesh.
  • Strength of the Shadows- Due to the fact that they exist from the Dark Side, the Dark Side strengthens them. The energy used in Dark Side powers such as Drain Life or Force Plague would only give them more power, and possibly even heal them. Powers such as Force Lightning and Force Crush still apply as normal.

    Through the Darkside they can heal wounds of any kind, so long as their body is unburnt and their head still in one piece. The healing would be like a living person healing, only the addition of the Darkside is needed as medicine.
  • Force Drain- The Nota are naturally efficient with draining the Force, but only the Dark Side. Areas where the Dark Side is strong can be drained, giving strength to the Nota and possibly healing them. The same goes for any Dark Sider.
  • Secrecy- Nota are new to the Galaxy. How to deal with them is not common knowledge, though that will change quickly.
Weaknesses:
  • The Light- They are beings of the Dark. While they exist in the Shadows, Light Side powers such as Force Heal, which is usually used to mend wounds, will only create new ones on a Nota, and inflict a massive amount of pain to them.

  • No Reproduction- They are dead. They can't have kids. Or engage in reproductive activities. At all. It just doesn't work.

  • Decay- Becoming a Nota is essentially an extension on the life of the person who died. However, the body, forced to live through the will of the Dark Side, will decay. Depending on how powerful the revived are in the Dark Side or how often their bodies are forced to heal themselves, the body can last anywhere between a year to thirty.

    This does not, however, mean that they can look young and attractive without illusion. They are undead. They are not meant to look pretty to begin with.
  • Need of the Dark- They need the Darkside, whether a small amount or large. Without it, they slowly loose their ability to function, eventually going into a state of unawareness. While in this state, however, if they are left to rot, they will literally rot, and the body will decay as it would naturally.

    If left on a Vong Planet, they will simply cease to function unless they themselves have a source of the Darkside close by to sustain them.
  • Trapped- There is no body changing after this. While a Nota body can be remade and the host put back in, there is no chance of ever becoming mortal again. A Nota will always be a Nota. Always be undead, and until the Dark Side consumes them, they will forever exist as such.
  • Distinctions: They are essentially what ever race they once were before their eventual turn to a Nota. Upon becoming a Nota, however, their body stops showing signs of life. While they can move without fear of rigamortis, their skin is pale and lifeless, their eyes are devoid of light, and anything that can sense a Force Presence can feel them out like any other Jedi or Sith.
  • Burn- The Nota are easily burned in comparison to anything else. It doesn't help that they can't feel pain either, and more often then not they won't know they are on fire until it's too late.
  • Average Lifespan: Twenty or so years until the body simply decays away.
  • Races: Sith Spawn
  • Diet: They need Dark Side energies in order to function. How much only determines how long they can move before needing another dose.
  • Communication: Verbal, telepathic, physical.
  • Culture: [Describe general culture]
  • Technology level:
  • General behavior: [Describe general behaviors]
  • History: [Describe an abridged history]
  • Notable Player-Characters: [List player-characters]

  • Intent: To create a Sithspawn undead race, simply because it provides a new angle for people to RP.
