"For ten years. Ten years I've waited for this moment. We, the Empire, are about to strike a blow at the evil Jedi. I can't believe I used to be one of them. They cast me out, said I was too emotional. Ha! I'll show them now, just like I showed Master Ji. Oh, how rude of me I never introduced myself, I'm Metus, which in some ancient forgotten language means Fear and the Jedi do indeed fear me. But that is not my name. Not anymore. I am now Darth Proelium. The Jedi though, they did start my journey into the glorious darkness.
Master Ji was the one who discovered me on Kuat. He took me to the Jedi Temple on Coruscant. He could tell how strong I was in the Force even then. He was ever present, watching as I trained in the ways of the Force under the instructors there. Yet, even then, I think he noticed my lust for battle. One day during a sparring match, while Ji watched, I toyed with my opponent. I delayed the match for as long as possible before effortlessly disarming him and striking him repeatedly with my training blade. Ji stopped the match and took me aside. He told me that as my new Master, he would teach me to control my emotions. With that, he took me as his padawan. I was ten years old.
Master Ji trained me in the ways of the Jedi. Taught me the ways of Niman. I forged my dual lightsabers under his tutalege. I only really focused on basic Force techniques. I'd rather fight blade to blade then with the Force. I'm limited to Force push, pull, jump, speed, and the Sith favorite, lightning. But more about that later. Under his watch, my powers, and lust for battle grew.
Towards the end of my training, Ji increasingly became more concerned with my lust for battle. He would often find me sparring others, or standing in the midst of a broken pile of training droids. On the day I was to be Knighted, he went to the Council and retracted his statement that I was ready. I felt so betrayed, so I left the Jedi Order.
During my studies, I had often studied up on the warrior history of the Jedi. The Sith-Imperial War especially intrigued me. I knew there were still Sith out there. They were the ones I went to. I stayed in the shadows, and trained under Master Mors. Here I constructed a new crimson blade and was trained in Djem So. Mors also made me learn Force lightning, to bolster my weak Force power usage. My final training was completed when I stood over Mors body, kneeling before the Dark Lord. I was twenty years old.
Silently, I waited for my chance to strike. I wanted nothing more to kill Jedi, most of all Master Ji. I got my chance three years later. A tip off from a fellow Sith placed me at Tatooine of all places. Funny, that's where Skywalker started his journey. Rumor was it that Ji was looking for another apprentice. I made sure that he saw me sitting in a catina as he walked past. I lured him into a secluded alley, just as the twin suns were setting. He tried to bring me back to the Jedi. Funny, he thought I was just a rogue. But I am so much more. The battle was lenghty but in the end I triumphed. My new style had thrown him off balance and I walked away smiling as the stump of his neck smoked.
Now, I have returned to the Dark Lord's side. I await eagerly for the chance to wreak my revenge upon the council and all Jedi in the galaxy. Funny I was told to take a new name. Looks like I am going to be a Sith Lord now. I think Darth...Proelium. It means battle in the same ancient language as my other name. If I so much as hear my real name spoken now, death to them. I am Darth Proelium, Sith Lord and Weapons Master of the Empire."
Personality
Proelium is constantly focused on battle. He spends as much time as possible training for battle and considers any distractions weakness. He is tolerant of the other Sith, but prefers to be alone most of the time. He is often cold when spoken too, and an never ceasing anger is always present within him. He considers the Jedi inferior and non-Force sensatives as nothing more than subjects to be ruled.
His loyalty is to himself alone, though outwardly he projects loyalty to the Emporer. He will not hesitate to seize an oppurtunity for self-advancement. Yet, given the choice between killing Jedi or advancing in rank, Proelium will always choose the battle.
Proelium is often headstrong and quick to anger. He does not tolerate any foolishness from those of lower rank and will often punish those as he see's fit. If they take their beating with out a fight then they deserve it. Resist, and he may respect you. Metus respects the martial abilities of a person more than anything and to prove your worth to him, you must prove your combat abilities.
Powers/Abilities
Proelium does not concern himself with training to advance his Force powers. He is content with the basics he learned during his training such as Force Jump, Pull, Push, Speed, Telekinesis and Lightning. Even then, these powers are considered weak compared to other Sith of the same rank.
Proelium is extremley proficient in both the Niman and Djem So lightsaber forms. He uses both interchangebly, but caught in a sticky situation will result to Niman as this was the first form he learned. He is always constantly training to perfect these two forms. He does have extensive knowledge of the other five Forms but these are the two he is most likely to use in combat. Metus's strenghts obviously his abilitity with a lightsaber. His weaknesses are his limited Force abilities.
