Sev's Theme Music​

"…Taking the life of an innocent is always harder even than taking your own, if you're sincere. This is the ultimate test of selflessness—whether you're ready to face unending emotional pain, true agony, to gain the power to create peace and order for billions of total strangers. That is the sacrifice. To be vilified by others, by people you know and care for, and for your personal sacrifice to be totally unknown to those billions you save, to do your duty as a Sith. To do your duty for the good of the galaxy. It's easy to be a clean-cut hero slaying monsters. There's always a little bit of vanity in it. There can be no room for vanity or pride in being despised."

A member of the nobility from the Tapani sector and heir to the Lordship of House Mecetti, Sev has strong ties to the Sith Order, his bloodline having produced some of the greatest and most terrifying Sith Lords to have ever graced the Galaxy. Pushed by his family to continue in their footsteps, the young man has lived his entire life to pursue the goals of the Sith in secret, using his high social status and political pull as a means to an end. Yet Sev cannot help but feel conflicted, for the Sith's sadistic methods leave room for doubt in the young Sith's mind, and draw him towards the light...[/fancybox4]

GENERAL INFORMATION
​

[fancybox2]

Personality: Conflicted between the light and dark sides of the force, Sev's personality is quite two-faced. Polite and refined when in his role as senator for Obulette, Sev appears to be relatively kind, but steadfast in his resolve. But in his role as a Sith, he becomes more rigid and does his best to detach himself. He recites the teachings of the Sith in his mind, stating them almost as a matter of fact, although if one were able to read his thoughts, they would see the doubt he held behind those words. The combination of having been raised as a Tapani noble and member of the Sith has shaped Sev into someone whose emotions are almost always in conflict between the light and dark sides of the force, concealed by the public persona he adopts as a member of the Senate. This conflict has produced instances where he performed acts that weren't necessarily in line with the Sith code, such as helping the weak or those in need. Yet there have also been instances where he has performed acts in line with the dark side, as if to prove to his family that he was worthy of taking on the mantle of his forefathers. It is this constant internal conflict of emotions that serves as Sev's greatest downfall.

Strengths and Weaknesses: Although Sev is an exceptional lightsaber wielder and is particularly dangerous due to his force bond ability, this serves as a double edged sword, in some cases leaving room for hesitation in his actions since he can sense the raw emotion coming from the fighting style of the person he fights against.

But more than anything, Sev is afraid.

Afraid that he will never live up to the reputation of his bloodline.

Afraid to see innocents hurt or killed.

Afraid of dying, for the Sith grant death upon those who are deemed weak, and the Jedi intend to destroy the Sith Order in it's entirety.

Afraid of the very emotions of sorrow and empathy he feels in the face of horrific acts he may have had a part in, for he feels it weakens his connection to the dark side.

Afraid for the safety of the Tapani people, particularly those he has sworn to represent in the Senate.

How might this weakness play out against him in combat? Here are a few examples.

Someone who channels anger into their strikes might cause Sev to become somewhat afraid to press the offensive, out of fear for the risk of exposing himself to injury.

Someone who expresses sorrow in their fighting style might cause Sev to avoid a decisive blow, because he might feel empathy towards them.

Someone who is afraid while fighting Sev might also cause him to hesitate, as he would be averse to striking down a fearful target unless it was purely out of self defense.

Skills

Force Bond - Sev has an unintentional and uncanny ability to form a force bond with other people. This is the primary reason that he has not completely fallen into the trappings of the dark side, but it also means that he is more easily influenced, for he literally begins to sense the raw emotion of any individual he fights, which could leave room for hesitation. The bond becomes stronger with each subsequent fight with that individual, and is especially potent around force sensitives. However, this is a two way street. Those he fights are more easily able to sense Sev's raw emotion, especially if that person is force sensitive. An especially powerful force user (A Jedi Master or Sith Lord, for instance) might be able to even sense hesitation within Sev's moves as he fights.

Lightsaber/Vibroblade Savant - Sev's lightsaber style transitions quickly between that of Juyo and Soresu in a manner that is reflective of his own internal conflict. Juyo representing his attunement to the dark side and Soresu reflecting his tendency to be drawn towards the light. When applied in the correct ratio, the constant transition between the unrelenting offense of Juyo and the unwavering defense of Soresu makes Sev an especially dangerous opponent in lightsaber combat. His signature move is the ability to ignite his lightsaber and bifurcate or impale an opponent in the blink of an eye, iajutsu style. Known for winning several dueling tournaments on his home planet, Sev is also a well renowned vibroblade duelist.

Strength: Sev is of average strength for an athletic and trained Sith assassin.

Dexterity: As a Sith assassin, Sev's greatest physical attribute is his ability to move swiftly and accurately. He is easily capable of parkour, with or without the assistance of the force, and is insanely fast in lightsaber dueling. Without the assistance of the force, Sev is already capable of running two miles in 10:07. With the assistance of the force, his speed and reaction times increase to beyond conventional limits.

Constitution: Being young and in good shape, Sev's constitution is in line with an athletic human male of his age.

Intelligence: Well educated and a member of Tapani nobility, Sev has held enough wit to survive the political scheming of others in his life thus far, although he isn't necessarily a genius.

Wisdom: Brash at times due to his inexperience in life, Sev has a tendency to let emotion guide his actions.

Charisma: He comes across to many as a strikingly handsome young man with proper etiquette, although he isn't used to speaking with those outside the upper class. As a result, situations can be sometimes awkward for him around common folk.

EQUIPMENT​

[fancybox4="http://i474.photobucket.com/albums/rr102/KurotsukiBlade/SeverinPlate_zpsaruujeh2.png"]
Sev's Lightsaber - Sev's lightsaber is extremely refined and made of expensive materials.
Constructed from a songsteel frame, the weapon houses two rare Lignan crystals utilized in a bifurcating cyclical-ignition pulse system. This modification allows the lightsaber to continue to operate even when submerged, making the weapon fully waterproof. The outer shell is composed of duraplast and adorned with an aurodium lining. The lining alone costing a fortune of credits, this lightsaber serves as a testament to the power and wealth of House Mecetti. The blade is a dark red hue, creating a hissing noise typical of lightsabers of the Sith when activated.

Nyssan Sith Assassin Garb - A black, hooded robe designed for maximum mobility and comfort while still remaining silent, Sev's Sith Assassin garb is light, form fitting, and breathable. A personal energy shield generator is housed within a thin songsteel plate posited at the garb's waistline, serving as the only real protection the garment provides against blaster fire. Designed to dissipate energy bolts across a wider area rather than flat out defeating them, the personal energy shield's purpose is to render lethal shots into ones that instead only injure the wearer. As a result of the garb's focus on lightweight, stealthy design, the shield generator is small and only capable of dissipating one or two blaster bolts before failing in it's entirety.

Translator - The Senate, being composed of countless representatives from the diverse locales of the Republic, is also host to countless languages. To best understand his peers, as fluency in all languages is impossible, Sev carries with him a translator that automatically translates words in real time for him. The translator covers all the most common Galactic languages, and is constantly updated with refinements and new vocabulary with each software update.

Background

"For my family, there was never a clear distinction between good and evil. The Jedi, engorged on their own dogma and hubris, were all hypocrites. They eradicated the Sith Empire under the pretense of peace and justice, ravaging entire worlds and tearing families apart. My father did the same, but at least he owned up to his actions, labeling them as a necessary sacrifice in the pursuit of a greater state of existence. The difference was that the Sith pursued their ideals, not pretending that they were in the name of peace or justice. For a Sith, the force was a tool to be wielded to shape the galaxy in the image of desire. For many Sith, that desire was selfish, but for my father, it was to create an order so powerful and eternal, that there would be no more need for war, strife, and hardship. A galactic order so immensely great that each and every desire would be fulfilled at the mere whim of it’s citizens. But to do so, my father, like all Sith, made moral sacrifices. The Jedi were short sighted, and did not see this: their code would never allow them to.

And it was the damned Jedi that killed my father, rendering pointless the many sacrifices he made in the name of a better galaxy, something I would never bring myself to forgive them for.

Through passion, strength. Through strength, power. Through power, victory. And with victory, my chains were broken. After my father's death, it was how I thought I was supposed to live and breathe. My resolve in following the Code was absolute......until I met Saerina."

After my father’s death, my mother, Lady Estalle Telluria, took control as the head of House Mecetti. Since my father was no longer around to teach me, the Sith Assassins of the Mecrosa Order continued my education in the ways of the Sith.

It was on a diplomatic trip to Alderaan when I met Saerina. I was probably 11 at the time, still very much feeling the pain of having lost my father to the Jedi. Saerina was a Jedi padawan, likely around the same age as I was. Saerina’s master was there too. I distinctly remember them being the calm, collected, and emotionless type, typical of Jedi Masters.

“Hi, my name is Saerina. What’s yours?” she said. At first I was very wary. I hated the Jedi. After all, they had killed my father, forcing me to carry the weight of his legacy and his revenge. But Saerina was different. She was easy to get along with, and before I knew it, we were best friends. Later I would learn that Saerina was living on Alderaan and training there to become a powerful Jedi Knight, and eventually, a Jedi Master. Over the years, I’d frequently visit Alderaan with my mother on diplomatic trips. Every time I visited, Saerina and I would hang out, sharing secrets and playing games. Saerina taught me about what she had learned about the force, and lightsaber dueling, practicing with sticks against each other. It wasn’t long before I’d return the favor, teaching her what I learned about lightsaber dueling, although I’d always make the excuse that I learned it from a vibroblade teacher. Saerina always told me I’d make a good Jedi, encouraging me to somehow get the attention of the masters. But painfully, I always refused, never telling Saerina that I was actually Sith. That we were destined to become mortal enemies. But after having grown up together for so long, something told me that deep down, she didn’t truly buy that story about the vibroblade teacher. She knew me too well, after all…

(Sev training with vibroblades against a female Sith Assassin on Nyssa.)

For years, my education in lightsaber dueling and the usage of the force continued in secret, sponsored by Sith in hiding on Nyssa. Eventually, when I turned 20, my mother arranged for me to represent my homeward Obulette in the Galactic Senate, using that status as a means to further the plans of the remaining Sith Order. Saerina and I would still hang out from time to time, but our lives quickly became busy, as Saerina had been promoted to the rank of Jedi Knight. And despite all the things I learned of the Dark Side, I couldn’t help but doubt the Sith code at times. What if it was a lie? What if the Jedi were right? These doubts plagued my every action. I still hated the Jedi. I could never forgive them for what they had done, but I could never bring myself to hate Saerina, no matter how much I tried.”

Want to meet up with Asura once the timeline kicks off? I kept her background lite because a lot of stuff normally develops organically in RP for me, but I think what we have written complements each others character very well. I could see a potential mentoring/tutoring relationship going on as well as a friendship. PM me if you have any ideas...

 

[Noctyr]

Sure! I'll start brainstorming some ideas as soon as I get home!
