"Emotions are like the Force or the light saber......useful when controlled"- Talis Javu

APPEARANCE:
Talis Javu is 6'4" in height and weighs 180 pounds. He has pale white skin. He has dark yellow eyes that tend to glow and illuminate in darkness. He also has short white hair. He usually wears a loose fitting cloak that hides his entire figure. Talis Javu is always seen wearing a black mask so only his eyes are visible but the rest of his face is hidden.

ATTRIBUTES:
Intelligence- 7/10 Talis is a manipulative and overall intelligent Sith
Strength- 4/10 Talis relies on quick footwork and speed over raw strength in light saber combat
Health- 8/10 Talis has a lean build and rarely gets sick and is hurt not very easily, due to his little usage of the Darkside his health is remarkable among some sith
Stamina- 8/10 Talis has increased his stamina in combat over years of bounty hunting and occasional skirmishes with others
Agility- 6/10 Talis does have a lot of agility but not in the area of acrobatics. His agility is more about speed in light saber combat.

PERSONALITY:
Talis Javu is in some ways bizarre with several personality traits typically not associated with the Sith. Talis Javu shows a great lack of charisma and tends to talk rather bluntly and coldly. However despite his cold and blunt exterior, Talis Javu is also one of the more intelligent and manipulative of the Sith. Unlike most siths, Talis Javu is not led nor controlled by his emotions and believes that emotion in excess is what leads to the downfall of Sith and Jedi alike. His source of power comes from his control and restraint over his emotion, however that is not the only reason as he is secretly broken inside.

Talis merely ignores the gaping hole to conceal his weakness. Like all Sith are motivated by power and the unification of the galaxy is his dream. Talis Javu hates impulsive behavior and tends to create schemes and plans out all possible outcomes beforehand. He holds a great deal of confidence in his skills as a Sith and a fighter. Despite being a Sith, killing brings no joy to Talis Javu as he views it more as a task rather than a sport. He affiliates himself with the Sith Order but, has little loyalty to the Order and is always willing to fight both Sith and Jedi if any stand in his way.

One of Talis's key character traits is his egotistic mindset and is constantly skeptical of others. The gaining of his trust can be simply be put in one word: Impossible. Talis is however loyal to his inner circle to a certain degree. Talis does little to help others and all actions are done to benefit himself. Talis only shows loyalty to his inner circle which puts him at odds with the Sith Order. While Talis respects the power and admired the Sith and the cold-blooded efficiency, he is not devoted to their cause and war against the Galaxy. This leads to the Sith labeling him as a somewhat of a rogue sith, something that irritates Talis.

Another character trait of Talis is his resolve. While many sith are led and controlled by their emotion, Talis belives in strict control of his inner rage. Raw anger is not the source of his power unlike many other sith. Talis hates the weak sith that let fear and anger control them viewing them disgraceful to the sith principles and ideals. While Talis believes in strength, Talis also believes that the most courageous act may not also be the best act.


BIOGRAPHY:
Compared to many sith, Talis's early childhood was not the best, Talis was not born wealthy and was certainly not born on a stable planet. Talis was born on a unrecorded planet along the border of the Sith Brotherhood and the Border Alliance. Caught between the constant wars waged between the Jedi, Republic, Border Alliance and Sith Forces, Talis's village lived under the constant threat of attack. Talis's parents were both force sensitive but were untrained and oblivious to their abilities and strong affinity with the Force. Talis's parents were both farmers and knew little about the war and intergalactic affairs. Eventually the war did spread into their planet and the front lines grew closer to home. Sith forces and Jedi forces destroyed the village in their bitter fighting. There was only one survivor in the rubbles of the village, a 5 year old boy named Talis, and was discovered by a Sith deserter after the battle.

The Sith deserter decided to take it into heart to train and pass on his knowledge of light saber combat and the Force. The Sith deserter adopted Talis and taught him the light saber art of Makashi while warning Talis about the evils of the Brotherhood, the hypocrisy of the Jedi and the corruption of the Republic. The Sith managed to pass on his mastery of Makashi onto Talis by the age of 15. Despite the sith's remarkable abilities in light saber combat, his affinity in the force was weak and was unable to teach Talis. However, the Sith decided to press all of his knowledge onto the 15 year old Talis. Unfortunately, Talis's training was cut short as the Brotherhood finally tracked down and assassinated his new father/master on Talis's 16th birthday. Talis's 16th birthday present and last present from his adopted father was his personal light saber.
th

The Brotherhood never found Talis, the deserter or the Sith assassin, as Talis quickly took vengeance by slaying the Sith assassin with his new light saber and then burying his dead master/father. Eventually, Talis moved to Korriban in a futile effort to find the Sith that had sent the assassin but his presence was not acknowledged and was mocked as a untrained rogue Sith acolyte. By the age of 18, Talis became a bounty hunter but was also constantly on the look for a new potential master that could complete his training in the Force. Talis managed to perfect Makashi after constant usage when eliminating bounties and managed to get enough credits to buy his own private ship. However despite his attempts to escape his past, his inner ghosts kept on haunting him thus, driving him to control and conceal his emotions.

Eventually, Talis realized that most of his bounties were not duelist and his dueling-centric fighting style was inadequate. Talis then proceeded to teach himself Shien and Djem So in an effort to improve his limited variety of abilities. Talis began carrying a saber staff and began extensively using it when faced against multiple enemies. Talis also attempted to implement blasters into his fighting style however, it quickly backfired due to his lack of skill and experience with any weapon but the light saber. Talis soon found a purpose in his life after 7 years of bounty hunting, he was to finish his Sith training, discover who sent the Sith assassin, and help what he thought was the winning side (The Sith Brotherhood) unite the galaxy and stop the war.



SKILLS:
Hand to Hand Combat-Despite Talis Javu's dislike of hand to hand combat, he still has basic to intermediate knowledge on Teras Kasi.
Light saber Combat-Due to the fact that Talis Javu can not use any other weapon, Talis Javu has dedicated his entire life mastering Light Saber Combat. His mastered light saber fighting methods are Makashi (Form II), Shien (Form V), and Djem So (Form V). Talis also knows how to fight with a saber staff with his fighting style built on experience.
The Force- Talis Javu has a affinity in the Force however, his training in the darkside was never truly finished/adequate and still requires a master to finish training him. Talis does know advanced telekinesis and can resist low-moderate level mental attacks. Talis mainly uses the Force to speed up his movements or increase his strength.

Piloting, Marksmanship, Diplomacy- XD....none


GEAR:
UAI-19 Armor (Hidden under cloak)
Plain Dark Cloak/Robe (
Scatterweave is weaved into parts of the cloak)
Crimson Red Light saber and a Red Saber staff

Hello there! Welcome to the Brotherhood.

I only have several notes and recommendations for you:
  • So he calls himself a Sith Warrior, but is an Acolyte? I don't have a problem with it, I just feel that you may encounter several hindrances in being one (e.g. having to find and train with a mentor). If you want to be a Sith Warrior, you're more than welcome to do so.
  • Love the balance you placed in his attribute section, and A+ for the lengthy personality.
  • Now, the only issues I have is simply the profile formatting. Apologies, I'm a picky jerk— can't help it! Anyway, I can only suggest that you only leave the category titles in bold, and I'd recommend breaking down the personality/biography into smaller paragraphs, as it appears to be as a big wall of text.
  • Aside from that, everything looks to be in order! If you'd like further suggestions or advice when it comes to improving your character sheet, you're more than welcome to consult a guide I've made here, for new Sith characters.
Happy threading! Approved, because making these edits aren't mandatory, but I'd highly recommend you do so anyway.

:rolleyes:
