NAME: Zachary Ephilas
FACTION: New Sith Empire
RANK: Sith Acolyte
SPECIES: Human
AGE: 23 (As of 1,023 ABY)
GENDER: Male
HEIGHT: 6"3
WEIGHT: Approximately 197 lbs
EYES: (If you're looking at him) The right is dark amber and the left is a very light green
HAIR: Dark Brown
SKIN: Fair
CREDITS: 1,000
DISTINGUISHING MARKS:
Heterochromia Iridum, the reason for his different colored eyes.
His Height
FORCE SENSITIVE: Positive

STRENGTH: Zachary's physical condition is quite normal for his age and training. Although he is at what he should be, his physical prowess is well outclassed by anyone who specializes or is well trained in physical combat. By no means though is he incompetent, his ability to fight physically is very well honed and has much room for improvement, but in a fight based only off of physical strength he would lose against ,most other Sith Acolytes of his age and condition. (6.75/10)
DEXTERITY: Despite his general lack in physical prowess, Zachary certainly makes up for it in his ability to deflect and doge incoming blows. He has often been observed darting around his opponents and avoiding blaster fire. His agility is well beyond what most of his age and training are capable of and it is one of his greatest traits. (7.5/10)
STAMINA: A long with his ability to dodge attacks, Zachary's ability to last for long amounts of time during battles is something of great note. He has been observed lasting against opponents with much greater strength for minutes without taking a hit, although it should be mentioned he did very little damage himself. Nonetheless his stamina is great and coupled with his agility this makes him a worthy adversary against most his level and even some above.(8/10)
CONSTITUTION: His abilities to effectively take blows on the other hand are not as great. While he can certainly take punishment, it is unlikely he will last long if an enemy gets through his defense. (5/10)
INTELLIGENCE: Zachary a very intelligent man. He is able to retain nearly all of the information he is revealed to and his skills of deduction are much better than the average Human. A long with this, his analytical abilities are very honed and his overall intelligence is impressive compared to most.(8/10)
WISDOM: Although Zachary is very quite intelligent he is not always very wise. Although his ability of foresight is something of note. Despite it being rudimentary, Zachary is fairly skilled in foresight, though at the moment it is more anticipation and perception of his surroundings than using the force to see into the near-future(This isn't Force Precognition really, just a way to say he good at predicting people's actions) . His patience, also, is something worth noting. He has been shown to wait for very long amounts of time to take action, waiting for the 'right moment'. Even during battle he has showed restraint in attacking. This has, though, led to him missing his opportunity and failing in his objective or being defeated in a fight. (6.75/10)
CHARISMA: Zachary's ability to manipulate and control people is quite astonishing for his level of training. Not only does he show great potential in this field, but he has already shown a great ability to do this. On several occasions he has been observed manipulating other Acolytes into not only following his orders but fighting his rivals. In this he is far above many other Acolytes at his level of training.(9/10)

FORCE POWERS:
Trained
Rudimentary Force Shove
Practiced Force Agility(Sprint,Jump,Etc)
Very Rudimentary Affect Mind

SKILLS: Zachary is Skilled in deflection, dodging, deduction, prediction, and manipulation. He also shows potential to be very adept at chaining force attacks into his saber strikes.


LIGHTSABER/SWORD FORMS:
Form III: Soresu - Trained and in Practice


STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES:
+ He is very nimble and agile
+ His abilities to deduce and analyze are superb
- Said abilities sometimes lead him to have great arrogance, thus causing him to have few allies
+ Luckily though, his skills at manipulation somewhat make up for that fact,
-Zachary's ability to use a lightsaber is well honed, but the strength behind it is lacking
-A long with his lacking strength, he cannot take very many hits before being defeated

GEAR:
Zachary wears three layers of robes . They are organized in a fashion similar to those worn by Dark Jedi from the days of Revan And Malak (Dark Jedi robes from Knights of the Old Republic), the only difference being that the uppermost cloak was cut shorter than the originals. From top to bottom, they colored Obsidian, Dark Brown, Grey. He also wears grey pants and black boots.

On the subject of armor he wears a light piece of military armor between the second and third layers of robes.

He carries a single bladed purple lightsaber with a sleek curved hilt. There are firm ridges on one side of the hilt for better grip, and has an extended hilt for use with two hands when necessary, but can is intended for single hand usage.

SHIP:
None as of yet

DROIDS/PETS:
Currently none.


PERSONALITY:
Zachary Ephilas is often described as a very unconfrontational and calm, especially compared to many of his fellow Acolytes. Zachary often acts behind the scenes, attempting to manipulate others to do his bidding and fight his enemies. Because, though, his skills of manipulation are underdeveloped he has still kept up his training in swordsmanship and offensive force abilities. He is often described as oddly charming and strangely compelling, but extremely untrustworthy and unscrupulous. Among his peers, Zachary displays an almost Jedi-like serenity and calmness, even during battle. But on more than one occasion he has lost his control of this calmness and embraced his anger. On all of those occasions he showed a great bout of strength and, when in battle, completely obliterated his opponent. On one occasion he even strangled another Acolyte to his death. Despite his near embarrassment at losing his temper, he has turned the events into examples that he is not a force to challenged, and many Acolytes have taken these warnings very seriously.

BIOGRAPHY:
Zachary was born on Ord Mantell in 1,000 ABY to a merchant father and a bar tending mother. Zachary had three brothers and three sisters, so as one might imagine it was a crowded house. Being the oldest of his siblings, he was able to manipulate his brothers and sisters at a very young age, often blackmailing and bribing them. Even at school, where he was a superb student, he could be often found manipulating people for his own whims. These strange 'gifts' and his elitism - due to his extensive intelligence- branded him an outcast to the social cliques of his schools. Nonetheless he powered on, gaining and losing friends as most like him would. And although he was often seen as very level-headed and calm, a great anger flowed through him like no other emotion. He found himself on the brink of absolutely bursting out into a fit of rage on more than one occasion.

Considering his father was a merchant he was often away, captaining his ship. But there was one day that when he came home, Zachary's father was acting very nervous, and for seemingly no reason. He was not the only one to feel this sense of nervousness either though, his two younger sisters- who were not only twins but the second eldest of all their siblings- felt the same thing. Having genuine concern for their father's well being, they went to talk to him about these concerns they had, and just as their father was stammering through his response, the local police forces burst through their front door and arrested their father. Little did Zachary and his sisters know, but their father was an illegal arms dealer and had been identified on his most recent run.

Sometime later that month, Zachary and his two sisters, Lisa and Christine, were identified as Force Sensitives and sent to the Sith Academy on Korriban where they were to hone their skills as Dark Jedi. It was here that Zachary began to unlock the full potential of his powers. It wasn't long before he was engulfed with lust for power and knowledge. Given he was only 15, his quest had just begun.

During his first year at the Academy, he had a tendency to remain quiet and didn't concern himself with the tendencies of others. But during one of the great many times he was being insulted, he snapped. Turning to the closest Acolyte, he lept onto him, strangling the fellow Acolyte with an absolute rage in his eyes. Now being 18, Zachary had advanced much in the time he had been at the academy, learning the ways of wielding a lightsaber, and even going on to build his own. Despite his accomplishments and promising future, Zachary was still often subject to mocking and hate from the other students due to his tendency to be patient and not call on his anger and rage during combat. He still had the occasional bouts of rage, but embraced them more freely now, rather than be embarrassed by them.

Never assume that. Wait for a Sith mod to comment on it.

his father was an inter-galactic merchant

There is no traveling outside of the galaxy. The Unknown Regions is the closest thing to extra galactic, aside from the Yuuzhan Vong, but it is technically still the galaxy.

Anyway, I really like this guy.

He should be ok. Sith mod would have said something when they reviewed it to be accepted into the sith. I just cheeked and he is accepted into the faction so you are good to RP with him.

Okay, I'll just mention this for the sake of my OCD.

Heterochromia is a general term which means different colored- something. It could mean hair, skin, eyes, etc. Since I've noticed that he doesn't have other multi-colored body parts, I'm assuming heterochromia only affects his eyes. That said, his condition should be called Heterochromia Iridis/Iridum. Also, it should be under "distinguishing marks" since that's a good way of identifying him.

Sorry, had to do it for some reason...

Well I learned something today!
I'll go and change that up a bit.
