OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION

Intent: To lead the Mithrax tribe IC and flesh out the lore of their creation.
Image Credit: Roderick Weise
Role: The Tribal Leader and eldest of the Mithrax Clan
Permissions: N/A
Links: Aing-tii, Mithrax, Cha'ta'ri

PHYSICAL INFORMATION

Age: 57
Force Sensitivity: Knight Level Mastery
Species: Cha'ta'ri
Appearance:
Thesiks is an incredibly large creature standing at nearly 5 meters in height he is a monstrous sight to behold. His large grey almost feathery mane now hangs from his neck to his chest and covers almost all of his back. The once vibrant sapphire color of his eyes has faded to a deep dark blue and where there were once sharp fangs there now gaps a toothless hole. His glowing purple skin has bleached to a more greyish beige. Other than his sheer size his extended exoskeleton is a twisted reminder of the tests he committed on himself. Large horn-like structures spiral out of his back in multiple directions and give him a hunched walk. Another notable trademark of his is the static robotic leg that replaces his right one after he lost in an accident while constructing the burrows. Same goes for his upper right forearm which was severed while toying with pieces of a ship engine. While this kind of damage could normally be regrown by a fit Cha’ta’ri his genes no longer have the ability to replace these kinds of injuries. Almost fully wrapped in different layers of stitched-together cloth he is normally outfitted with a large blue coat that covers most of his body and is worn as a cape. The old insignia of the colony of Dusk is painted on to the chest-piece, a remedy of the place he was born. His face is almost entirely hidden by a chain mill under which a series of self-made contraceptions help relieve his breathing and give off a constant machine buzzing. The crown of Mithrax rests proudly on his head, an elongated object made of the white exoskeleton the Aing-tii are warped in, which is covered in tribal colors and signs revealing his status to all Cha’ta’ri in the tribe.

SOCIAL INFORMATION

Name: Thesiks the Wise, Eldest of the Mithrax
Loyalties: Mithrax

Wealth:
Over the many years, he has scavenged the Kathol outback Thesiks and his people have amassed a great number of varying objects over which he rules. Various technologies from different species and times, different currencies unfortunate travels had on them when they were captured. Ores, metals, and alloys stripped from ships or found on asteroids and mining vessels.

Notable Possessions: The Crown of Mithrax, a bone crown that makes its wearer the ruler of the Mithrax.

Skills:
His wisdom is his greatest asset. Thesiks was taught how to leave his instinct behind and has mastered separating his consciousness from his physical form. Using this ability he has been able to amass the knowledge that would otherwise be far from reach due to his species instinctual drive and naturally low IQ. He has also spent the larger part of his life as an alpha among his people and has developed into a natural and skillful leader willing to do what it takes to lead his brothers and sisters to prosperity. Yet the one great difference the old Cha’ta’ri has to the rest his kind is the introduction and training to the living force. Having learned from the Aing-Tii monks Thesiks developed the skill to manifest his will through the force and channel it in different techniques. Most notably one of the more prominent techniques of the ancient battle monks which is to instantly move one object from A to B. The extent of this he never fully explored as he respects the force in a way that Jedi or Sith don’t and sees it like his teachers as a holy power.

Personality:
Thesiks probably has one of the most developed personalities within his species which comes from his incredible age for a Cha’ta’ri and the impossibility of the experiences he has lived through. At heart a pacifist he feels as if he were to carry the entire pain and suffering of his people. Having been shown so much knowledge and understanding so much of what a normal Cha’ta’ri knows nothing about the burden of being able to create real change weighs heavily on him. Then there is the fact that he has to pit freshly hatched life against each other in a battle to the death simply to keep the tribes chance of survival to a maximum. These troubles combined with his long life and incredible knowledge make him an endlessly lonely creature. On the other side, he has come to understand his almost god-like standing within the tribe and he works as tirelessly as the rest of the hive on ensuring the prospering of their species. He will help feed the gishka and advise the engineers as they tinker with newfound technologies. He spends time with the younglings to explain and teach the Cha’ta’ri history, philosophy and science and he will order the hunters out on dangerous missions in the Gorgon fields and beyond. He has a vast oversight of all the happenings within the burrows of which he dug many himself and makes sure to tend to all his brothers and sister equally.

COMBAT INFORMATION

Weapon of Choice
:
He is at the control of what others would consider a horde of flesh-eating killer aliens that he can wield at command, yet he himself is an extremely peaceful entity. Having to no longer feed as his people do he put down weapons of war a long time ago. Instead, he strives with everything he has to create a paradise for Cha’ta’ri everywhere so that they too can put down their violent ways and no longer have to kill and torture others simply so that they may exist another day.

Combat Function:
In strive for his paradise world if the situation was dire enough Thesiks would not hesitate to use his incredible size and immense strength to simply crush those who stand in the way of his dream. If pushed to his limit Thesiks has knowledge of one of the many Aing-Tii force abilities to instantaneously transport objects which can be wielded in a destructive manner.

Strengths:

  • Student of the Aing-Tii: Thesiks has an extensive theoretical knowledge of the force as well as having mastered some of the many incredible feats of the ancient Battle Monks. It’s also how he manages to starve himself of flesh. He meditates to surround himself with the necessary force energy to sustain himself.
  • Mutated enhancements: His long life span, as well as the extended exoskeleton, come from genetic experiments that he conducted on himself using the advanced Aing-Tii technology.

Weaknesses:

  • Old Age: Thesiks has lived far past the age any other Cha’ta’ri should and it’s had left a mark on him. Poor sight, poor breathing and slow natural movements can only be enhanced by sustaining these senses with the force.
  • Personality Disorder: Cha’ta’ri don’t typically display emotion or strong morale nor do they question the natural order of things. Having done all of these has damaged the mind of a creature normally driven solely by instinct and experience which often leaves him with doubt or indecisiveness at his actions and those of others.

HISTORICAL INFORMATION

Thesiks hatched from his metamorphosis into a dying colony, he witnessed the starvation of thousands of his people as he himself fought every day for a chance to feed. It took years for him to get off the colonies dead nest and onto an asteroid in the Kathol Outback where for the first time he was able to live what a Cha’ta’ri would call a normal life. This did not last long though, he watched in despair as the overpopulation within the tribe led to conflict and ultimately its collapse forcing the eldest to take the strongest Cha’ta’ri and move on.

Having been left behind the leadership of those forsaken turned to him as the oldest of his brothers and sisters. Desperately trying to establish order he did what he could inside the tunnels of the asteroid before leading a squadron of his strongest people to its surface. The events that unfolded changed his existence and possibly that of so many of his kin. By luck or will of the Great Spirit, they encountered a docked salve ship that was making a repair stop on the asteroid. He led the attack against the damaged vessel and they tore their way into its inners where the surprised and completely unprepared crew wasn’t able to make much of a stand before the hungering insectoids ripped them apart in a feeding frenzy. He himself had just gulped down a limp when the very air inside the ship changed, everything changed.

A group of four what he would later recognize to be Aing-Tii Battle Monks had teleported onto the ship from an orbiting Sanhedrim. From the first moment he laid eyes upon their pure white exoskeletons he knew they were something far greater than what he had ever encountered. Presenting himself as the leader to the newcomers the creatures came to inspect him closely. It might have been the power of the great one, the magic of the Kathol Outback or any of the mysterious artifacts the Monks watched over, but the moment that Thesiks and one of the Aing-Tii he would later come to know as Tannis`Re touched they became connected and communicated to each other thought by thought. In an instance, Thesiks was shown the horrors of slavery, its destruction of life and by making him feel the anger the Monk felt he suddenly felt just as disgusted. Thesiks understood that they wanted to free these souls but in his mind he saw them as feeding stock that they desperately needed. The moment these thoughts crossed his mind he felt how the Monk he was still connected to felt, saw, tasted and understood that very thought.

The two of them rushed through memories of the dying colony of Dusk the death and chaos, his despair and the unimaginable hope for something better. Just as the disgust for slavery had been transferred to him he now passed on his feelings to the stranger. The creatures came together and had wordless dialog, then the four came to face him. In the next moment, he was somewhere completely different, he was no longer in the slavers vessel, no blood, and bodies, no brothers and sisters. What followed were weeks of learning to understand the Monks and where he was. At first, communication was difficult his hosts had the technology to translate their voiceless thoughts into Galactic Basic but Thesiks had hardly heard a sound of it in his short life and subsequently via a similar technology ended up having Ch'ta translated into Basic for him. Tannis`Re the Aing-Tii who he had shared the incredible connection with back on the slaver vessel became his liaison for his stay aboard the gigantic ship that he learned was in itself alive and on a pilgrim within the Kathol Outback.

The Monk was fascinated with the Cha’ta’ri history revealing to Thesiks the events of a war which toppled the natural order of things within the system in which he presumed the Cha’ta’ris home planet to have existed in. There was more though, so much more. Thesiks was taught about the living force, an energy that existed in the universe unlike any other. He was shown how to meditate and bathe in the force. Sooner or later the two of them together made the connection between what Thesiks species described as the hunger and the satisfaction of this agony through the force. He learned about the factions that controlled this power and he was taught the immense respect that the Monks had for it. The more he learned the more he begun to understand that with this knowledge he had an actual fighting chance to change the way of life he and his kind had to endure. He needed more knowledge and he needed time, so next to his training with Tennis`Re he also begun dabbling in genetics trying to sequence his own genetic makeup. It was an attempt to bypass his own species age restrictions that doomed them to a short life. The technology of the Aing-Tii was so much more advanced than anything that he had ever seen but with there help and his bravery to experiment on himself he was able to not just alter him but what they believed would also alter the genetic makeup of his spawn in the future.

He spent over five years upon the Sanhedrim traveling all around the outback ravaging slave ships and their masters as well as accompanying the battle monks in their hunt for relics, all the while being taught in the way of the force and soaking up all the knowledge he could. Both parties knew that it was Thesiks fate to return to his people and after having proven his completion of their training and having found many of the answers he was looking for they mutually agreed that their time together had come to an end. Using the very ability he was taught together with his comrades he jumped the Sanhedrim back into the asteroid field he had left behind. Leaving the vessel behind was hard, it was more of a home than anything ever had been. Before his departure Tannis`Re along with the other three monks he first encountered gifted him with a crown made of their own armor, a last sign of respect.
His good friend accompanied him down to the entrance of the burrow and as a final parting gift shared some of the revelations he had seen while flow walking into Thesiks future.

Full of confidence the young king returned to those that had been forsaken by their people and in a way himself, but a people that he had now found just like the Monks had found him and a people that could be shown a new way. Claiming his position as eldest the Cha’ta’ri spent the next five decades, longer than any Cha’ta’ri had lived before him educating his people and changing their ways. Giving his life to the advancement of his species he was heralded as a god among his them.

Davak Davak My apologies for the delay. THis submission is beautifully written and I love the creativity you used to create Thesiks out of another member-made species.

Only two things before I can approve this;
  • In Out of Character Information, you are missing the Permissions.
  • In Social Information, under Notable Possessions, you mention The Crown of Mithrax, but there is no link or explanation. What is the Crown? What does it do? Is it a heirloom, a symbol, something else?

Please tag me back once these edits are done so that we can approve this :)
