"Through victory, my chains are broken."
— The Sith Code​

OVERVIEW & PERSONALITY:

Triumvir of the Sith Covenant. Apprentice and occasionally consigliere to Mercy . Theoretically the Governor of Desevro, once all the paperwork is filed. Occasionally does smuggling work for the Black Sun Syndicate. Playful, sociable, and slightly sadistic. Intelligent, but impulsive and prone to outbursts of violence. Slightly sentimental, especially by Sith standards. Has a fondness for synthesizer music.


TRAITS:

​

STRENGTHS:

• Excellent close-combatant, trained in Form II, Chandrilan Rapier, and Stava
• Quick learner, and highly educated in Galactic History
• Fantastic reflexes and stamina
• Solid sense of self, strong resistance to Mentalist powers
• Large theoretical knowledge base surrounding Sorcery and Alchemy

WEAKNESSES:

• Perpetual chip on her shoulder
• Experiences distress and anxiety during prolonged periods of mental or physical inactivity
• Frequently prioritizes personal entertainment over safety and well-being
• Terrible Mentalist; no fine control whatsoever
• Struggles with ranged applications of Alter powers, limiting effective engagement distance to near-CQC
• Psychologically and constitutionally incapable of stealth
• No practical talent for Sorcery whatsoever

THE FORCE:

Vestra Tane has been using The Force since she was a child, though for most of her life this usage has been untrained and instinctive. Many of her most reliable tools are fundamental to the Force, such as enhanced reflexes and increased awareness. She also displays an increased resistance to pain and superb control over her own body. With some small effort, she may increase her speed dramatically, or leap large distances at a time. Like many Dark Siders, she draws power from strong (usually negative) emotion, both in herself and others.

Since beginning more formal training, Vestra has discovered in herself a knack for energy manipulation. Most often, this manifests as Force Lightning, but she also demonstrates the ability to create protective barriers, absorb and redirect heat, light and kinetic energy, and perform a number of tricks with Telekinesis. With great focus and either time or an excess of available power, she may also release concentrated waves of heat and kinetic energy from her body, to extremely violent results.

She is, however, a terrible Mentalist. She remains unable to achieve any fine control over the hearts or minds of others, at least by Forceful means, at best projecting simple emotions such as "fear" or "rage," without any specific target or end-goal. Additionally, despite an advanced theoretical knowledge of various magical traditions, Vestra remains unable to effectively utilize more structured Force traditions for herself, due to the intuitive nature of her connection to the Dark Side.

BACKGROUND:

Born and raised on Chandrila. Daughter of a farmhand and a mechanic. Managed to enroll in preparatory school, and then university, on academic scholarship, where she earned a doctorate in Galactic History. Gave Dissertation on technological advancement in the Stygian Caldera during the Sith Golden Age. Studied fencing, swordsmanship, and martial arts for leisure purposes during schooling and university. Gained (extremely minor) acclaim in the Black Sun Syndicate, before stumbling into a position of semi-prominence in the Sith Covenant.
