APPEARANCE:
A towering, bulky, terrifying fusion of scavenged cybernetic machinery, Sith brutality, and living flesh. He looks like an industrial monster in his current state, and the unconventional surgeries he performed on himself are evident where his flesh and machine parts meet. Unlike other cyborgs, where the machinery near-seamlessly melds with their bodies, Viermen's parts are welded to his flesh, and scars from such a series of procedures are all over his body.
BIOGRAPHY:
Viermen was a proud Darth in the Sith Empire. He was indoctrinated into the order at 14, and began to rise through the ranks. He believed the Sith exemplified a society where the strong rule, and the stronger rise to power. So, he believed he was among the strong with how he became a Darth. His prowess as a warrior, and his conviction to the ways of the Sith, made him have great potential to be one of the best Sith instructors. However, soon after he gained his first apprentice, and the rank of Darth (at age 40), he was lured to the junk world of Lotho Minor in search of an artifact that would grant him much power. His apprentice at the time tipped him off to this, but was strangely vague, yet the prospect of this artifact long forgotten by others was too alluring for the new Darth. When Darth Viermen and his apprentice arrived at Lotho Minor, they hurried across the area to find this alleged artifict before any scavengers found it, or any of the beastlike machines that roam the planet destroyed it. However, there was no artifact, and his apprentice managed to separate Darth Viermen from the rest of the party. Before Viermen could find his apprentice and the guards, they had left him on the junk world to die.
Through sheer force of will, Viermen survived on Lotho Minor. He built a home for himself to survive in the depths of the mountains of junk. It was during these times that Viermen reevaluated his philosophies on strength and power, and more specifically his view on the Sith. Viermen now came to a revelation that the Sith were not truly strong. That truly the most conniving weasels of men would rise through the order's ranks while taking out the strong in their wake. He also came to despise the posh aspects of those Sith who hold great power, and how they forgot true strength. By surviving on Lotho Minor for such a long time, Viermen experienced much pain and hardship to simply survive day to day. He realized it was pain and suffering that brought about true strength in people, not the mere drive for power the Sith exhibit. So, from that point forward, Viermen would renounce his title of Darth, renounce his Sith teachings, and even renounce the force. Instead, he chose to increase his physical strength to exemplify his beliefs instead of relying on a mystic power to be strong.
As Viermen continued his life as a hermit on Lotho Minor, surrounded by scrapped technology every second of every day, he came to another revelation. The biological body of men was weak as well. Too weak for the true strength Viermen sought. No matter how convicted to ideals, and how much they train their body, a flesh and blood person can never be truly strong. So, he set out across his local area on the junk world, and began scavenging for technology he could use for replacements for any body parts he deemed too weak to keep. He spent over a year piecing together the machinery for his future body. When all the parts were complete, he then created various apparatuses to help attach those parts to his body by welding them onto his flesh. Once all the equipment he required was completed, he got to work performing various brutal, and excruciatingly painful, surgeries by using his old lightsaber to cut off the body parts, and cauterize the wounds at the same time. Then, the machines to attach the augmentations to his body were put into use, and that process took a long time to complete as each augment had to be added individually. By the end, Viermen looked almost nothing like he did before. His legs were replaced with six new ones that blasted acid if he wanted them too. He refitted his lightsaber to various parts of ship turret technology for a massive arm cannon to replace his right arm. Then, the skin of his midsection was coated in metal armor, and a respirator device was welded to his face so he would not have to worry about the toxic winds that blow across Lotho Minor at times.
Now, there are reports of a monstrous man wandering the scrap piles of Lotho Minor. These accounts have become elements of local folklore of the junkyard world. Yet, with the rising power of the Eternal Empire not far away, this new legend needed to be investigated as the disappearance of a now forgotten Sith Darth on the world is too coincidental for the Eternal Empire to ignore as mere local legend.

Now, there are reports of a monstrous man wandering the scrap piles of Lotho Minor. These accounts have become elements of local folklore of the junkyard world. Yet, with the rising power of the Eternal Empire not far away, this new legend needed to be investigated as the disappearance of a now forgotten Sith Darth on the world is too coincidental for the Eternal Empire to ignore as mere local legend.
One fateful day, the Eternal Empire arrived on Lotho Minor. Viermen was in the dark from greater galactic events that he had no idea who came to his world. Yes; his world. When a powerful man like him has managed to survive and brutally murder any of the other beings on the planet that were unlucky enough to cross his path, he grew a sense of ownership over the wild wastelands of junk that cover the planet. He climbed to a hill to overlook the largest, and only, city on the planet to watch as soldiers landed on the ground. Though he renounced the active use of the force, he could passively feel the presence of force users coming to his world. Only one was brave enough to face him, Ingrid L'lerim. The Eternal Empress herself. She found him standing menacingly on the mound of trash observing her coming to him. He did not know who this woman was, and so he tested her with anything he could throw at her with the environment. He tore his way through a hazordous trail through the junk piles. Then, he had some parts on the trail fall to a chasm of deeper layers of junk below, which she followed him through still. She then followed him to his very home, where he hid away throughout the decades of his time alone. They talked philosophy. Viermen knew she was worthy of True Strength from the trials he attempted. She summarized some of her past to him, which made him realize she believed in what he was teaching without even knowing it. He then asked what sent her to his world. That was when he learned of the Eternal Empire. A society based on strength. A society not governed by conniving weaklings the Sith are, but a society where the strong ascend and are meant to rule over. It was a perfect society for him. One he would welcome to his world. So, she took him to the shuttles at the city where they exited the planet, and he would continue on his path to not only join the Eternal Empire, but the cabal known as the Wardens of the Shroud as well.
Following the events of Lotho Minor, Viermen's integration within the Eternal Empire began. The Empress, Ingrid L'lherim Vandiir, personally carried it out. Aboard one of the ships leaving his world, Viermen learned that he was to become a Lord Commander within the Wardens of the Shroud. It was all he could have wanted to start from. However, he would not be granted this position immediately. He was sent to a jungle world near Ach-To to trace a poison spill causing problems for the locals, but also would cause problems for any colonization efforts by the Eternal Empire. Viermen was supposed to oversee the efforts lead by the rising Knight, Rath Nihro. His band went into the jungles, found a village that the poison spill was traced to, and began an investigation of the locals. Viermen found the locals to be sickening with their complacency. As Rath interigated the locals, Viermen oversaw the soldiers that were allotted to the effort inspecting homes for any possible evidence. As the investigation persued, the two learned more of what was going on with the village due to the logs of harvests and stored crops, as well as a sensation of Sith alchemy being present on the remote world. It was then they learned that there was something deeper to this situation than just weak, pacifist farmers in the jungle.
