PERSONALITY AND BELIEFS

It shifts between calculating and blind rage, depending on certain circumstances or people present. He has a driven hatred towards those who killed his family, he finds it very difficult to contain himself when confronted with members associated with the killers, his deeply held belief is he has to become the duelist his father destined him to be in order to avenge him in some way.

Update:

Varin has grown much in his acolyte life and moving into his Sith Knight status. The once hot headed and emotion driven teenager has grown into a calculating patient warrior. Rather than jumping headfirst into a fight, he plays on the defensive first, learning and watching his opponent and cataloguing their fighting style within his mind, perfectly stored to be used for later on in fights throughout his life. His discipline has helped him grow mentally to be able to store various combat maneuvers within his mind and perfectly execute them through muscle memory.

Varin is now capable of controlling his burning emotions channeling them into a more precise rage. Gone is the time of lashing out at whoever was closest. He now imbues his force abilities with flame, judgement and rage.

He personally believes that to grow a stronger army, one must break down the men and women at arms, but rather than leave them broken, build them back up as stronger warriors. They would learn to overcome pain and fear, but retain their wits for more effective counter measures in combat.

Varin is a leader that would rather fight in the thick of combat with his warriors, never giving them an order he himself would not do.

He has a deep loyalty to his warriors, his people and his allies.

STRENGTHS

Easily attuned with the force, master pyrokinetic manipulator, including control, creation and absorbing the flame element.

Photographic memory and detailed memory of battle tactics and combat focus.

Extremely adept with Force Body empowering his already heightened strength, endurance, speed and durability.

Possessed by a dark side entity through an ancient Sith ritual at a very young age. He has a natural affinity to pyrokenesis force abilities.

When calling upon the enitity known as Ignati, he is granted a great boon further enhancing and empowering his control of the flame and altering his appearance to that of a horned/winged beast whose flesh hardens like scales.

WEAKNESSES

Fractured mind: Though most of the time he is mentally capable and sound, his traumatic life moment still rears its ugly head, ptsd enslaves his mind at times taking him back to his home on the day that it was taken and his family was killed right before him, his sister bleeding out within his arms.

He still blames himself for that day and not being able to stop what could not have been stopped at the time.

Famillial bonds: Bonds can be a very powerful thing, but it can also crush ones soul if they are not careful. Varin is capable of making allies within the Sith community, gaining a deeper bond to those he either sparred against or fought with in great battles, his battle brothers. But history has shown that when a fellow brother leaves the Sith and abandons Varin's trust, it wounds him deeply. It makes him question his actions, his emotional and mental fortitude is capable of snapping.

Loyal to a fault: Varin is a very take on any job with little to no questions asked. Succeeding in several jobs most would have seen gruesome, including to him, most notably being the assault on Tapani. Slaughtering hundreds of innocents with His power alone. It disturbed him, and to this day still scars his memory. He does not like fighting those who are incapable of defending themselves, finding it hard to accept that war has no peculiar taste when it comes to death. However, he soldiers on.

Abilities

Master in pyrokinetic force abilities, extremely adept with force crush, force pull and force push, master of tutaminis, telepathic capabilities, but nothing to extravagant with this ability, adept force healing.

Ignati:
The being known as Ignati changes some of Varins force abilities. Allowing him to increase his body temperature to burn out poisons and survive harsh cold environments. He is also capable of survivng harsh heated environments but the harsher the environment the higher the cost of overheating.

Force healing capabilities for moderate to minor injuries. Takes the form of self cauterizing the wounds.

Through Ignati he is only able to channel force lightning in a sudden breath attack. The lightning comes in two forms: Purple when Varin is in control and Red when ignati is in control. Though the Red Lightning is a lot more volatile it has been known to injure Varin when being used.

HISTORY

When your rage can sunder mountains, then you can speak to me of passion

Born from a noble family, The Mortifer bloodline, Varin had grown up in a planet of isolation from most, Carcosa. The planet had rejected most technology besides transport of bulk goods and certain mining excavations. The planet was rich with Phrik mines, allowing for the easy distribution and crafting of specialized weapons and designs from this odd planet.

The Mortifer bloodline was steeped in war and battle, most said it ran in the families veins. Varin's ancestor had lead a great revolt against the two greater house families that kept the working class under heel. The war was brutal it was bloody, but in the end his ancestor fashioned a flag dyed in the ocean of blood from their enemies and marked by their house symbol with the very coal that was their charred bones. Thus the warrior family was born.

Generations had gone by before Varin was born nearly dead. His father the King of Carcosa made a deal with a great darkside entity that was too on the verge of dying, binding its soul to the dying child. The ritual was not clean, pain wracked through the childs body as ancient Sith runes of old carved and branded his body, sealing the great creature within him. Varin had barely survived, but his warrior spirit even then pushed him through.

Years had gone by and Varin had grown, eventually blessed with a force dead sister who's brain shared a great geniusness for biology and Sithspawn creation as well as alchemy. Varin's mother had grown a great garden within the mouth of an extinct volcano where their alchemical supplies was stored.

Varin would train relentlessly with his Father in battle tactics, swordplay and leadership. His mother would train him in ways of caring for his people, and breathing life into gardens.

Then came the fateful night.

The night of Varin coming to age, 16 in standard years, a celebration was held. His Father, Lord Mortifer, would officially take Varin in as his apprentice, his acolyte. He would take him along to various battles and hunting parties.

But those promises were burned away in a massive attack against his family that very night. An assault on the castle and a battle ensued that killed his parents in combat while Varin and his sister, N'ier, tried to escape off world. Varin fought the leader of the attack severing his arm from his body. And as the ship left it was hit by a missile, damaging the systems of the ship and causing a leak within its fuel lines. This drained the power of the ship and as Varin tried to regain control, his sister caught his attention. She had been wounded in the strike, a piece of shrapnel traveling through her ribs and into her heart.

Varin held her in his arms as she begged him not to let her go before she succumbed to her wounds. Varin had jettisoned her back to the planet so she would be with the very plants she cared for.

After drifting in space Varin crash landed on Korriban, where his soon to be Master, Revna Marr, rescued him from the burning ship and took him in.

Many changes have happened to Varin since that day, but one constant has remained. He was to retake his home from he who stole it from him, eventually learning the man's name, Allan Alhune.

Varin has climbed the ladder within the Sith Covenant and gained notoriety through battles and wars. His bond with Ignati has only grown stronger, and power still calls to him.
