Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic: Disturbance - Signup Thread

Interested, got an idea for an ex-Sith on the run

• Name: Carin Lowan
• Gender: Male
• Age: 26
• Race: Human
• Title/Occupation: Former Jedi Knight, Former Sith Assassin.
• Appearance: A young man that looks a bit older than he really is; Carin’s messy brown hair has a few white strands and his chin seems to have a permanent stubble. His green eyes appear as though they are constantly watching for things hiding in the shadows. His skin is fair, if a bit scarred in places, and he dresses in simple clothes - most notably a heavy armored coat.
• Equipment:
  • A heavy overcoat made from reinforced fiber, in which hides the rest of his equipment -
    • A holdout blaster pistol
    • A lightsaber with a hilt that, whilst normally curved, can be twisted in battle to better fit a two-handed grip. When activated, it glows as red as a laigrek’s eyes.
    • A small number of flashbangs for quick escape
    • A vibroknife
    • A holopad, communicator, and his credit chit.
    • A Stealth Field Generator
• Abilities/Training:
  • Trained as a Jedi Sentinel, giving him a good blend of skills and powers.
  • Excels in the arts of slicing and stealth, allowing him to infiltrate almost anywhere.
  • A bit of a prodigy in saber dueling, primarily practicing Shien before switching to Makashi when he joined the Sith.
  • Regarding the Force, Carin is fairly skilled at Telekinesis, notably using it to throw his lightsaber offensively in battle.

Yet his true talents lie within the power to hide his presence and drain the Force from a victim and make himself stronger. However, he abandoned the second ability at the same time as he abandoned the Sith.

• Personality/Backstory: Carin used to be a young and idealistic Jedi, but he could not stand idly by when the Mandalorians attacked. Like many others, he followed Revan into battle against them, and venerated him almost to the degree of worship. When Revan fell, so did he, becoming a deadly Sith Assassin at his master’s command. He went after whatever targets he could find; most often they were other Jedi, but occasionally even Republic Generals fell to his cunning. It did not matter to Carin as long has they had the Force within them.

But in 3957 BBY, Revan was betrayed and defeated at the hands of Darth Malak. Carin ran - being more loyal to the man than the teachings - and when Revan returned, Carin came back like a dog. He continued to serve, hunting Force sensitives until his master left once more. Understanding that it was forever this time, Carin said his final goodbye to the Sith and went on to start a new life. Afraid of what would happen if he returned to the Jedi, and now wary of his former Sith brothers, he strives to find his place in the galaxy.

Once you make the corrections we discussed I'll approve that sheet.

Alright, approved. I like the subtle reference to KotOR 2.

Hopefully Desdendelle will show up with his guy soon so we can get started.

Flesh is a design flaw.

Hmmm if you are ready, perhaps we can begin and des can incorporate themselves as we are starting? It's not like the characters will all start on a singular location so its easier for someone to catch up even if they miss a day or two of posting.

If I'm sure of something it's that I'm not sure of anything.

I think DG is also making a character, if I'm reading this post right.

In the meantime, could we get a Discussion Thread to just goof off plot in?

Fair enough. I'll set up the other threads in a moment.

Desdendelle will finish his signup when his Writer's Block stops holding him by the throat, yessss....

Die, Writer's Block! Die!

• Name: Kohyardh Helk.
• Age: 34.
• Race: Zabrak.
  • Culture: Mandalorian.
• Occupation: Mandalorian Knight Rally Master of Clan Helk.
• Appearance: Like his commander Jax, it is rare to see Kohyardh without his suit of Neo-Crusader armour on; the last time anyone saw his face was years ago in the Mandalorian Wars. He has multiple horns on his head, positioned rather like a crown of teeth, and glimpses of his skin show that it is red and covered with black tattoos. The armour, red in colour, is shiny and clean despite having seen many battles — Kohyardh obsessively cleans and mends it.
• Equipment:
  • Beskar'gam: this set of Neo-Crusader armour shows extensive modification, including a pair of Crushgaunts, a rangefinder on top of the helmet, a stealth field generator with a sound-damper, a miniaturised flamethrower on a gauntlet. It also has a comlink and a datapad built-in.
  • Weapons-wise, Kohyardh wields the flamethrower built into his armour and a blue-bladed lightsaber.
  • Bes'uliik: this powerful, semi-sentient battldroid boasts many armaments, including Pulse-Wave cannons, laser cannons and shatter-missile launcher, and is Kohyardh's most prized possession. The Zabrak treats it like a pet more than anything else.
• Abilities/Training:
  • Shien/Djem So proficiency: before defecting to the service of Mandalore the Ultimate, Kohyardh studied the fifth form of lightsaber combat. He prefers Shien to Djem So but can easily switch between the two styles.
  • Mandalorian training: if it's made to be pointed and fired, Kohyardh can use it, though he's not quite as good as most Mandalorians, instead focusing on close-quarters combat with his lightsaber, Crushgaunts and flamethrower.
  • Enough knowledge of armortech and armstech to maintain his armour and weapons.
  • Kohyardh's knowledge of Force Powers is lacking compared to other Jedi, both because of his training as a Jedi Guardian and his deflection to the Mandalorian Knights. His most-used power is Force Valor, and he is also known to use limited telekinesis in battle.
• Personality/Backstory: Kohyardh is a scion of a forgotten Iridonian family. Taken at a young age to be trained as a Jedi, for most of his adult life the Zabrak was content with his training and duties as a Jedi Guardian. However, he increasingly came to view the vast bureaucratic apparatus of the Republic as a bad influence and a check on its ideals; so when the Mandalorian Wars came, he was one of the first Knights that defected to the Mandalorians. However, he wasn't part of Master Kace's force that raided Dantooine, and so he evaded capture.
  He fought in a few more battles, then lost his entire unit at Malachor V. Battered and wounded, the Zabrak barely escaped with his life. He took the mantle of a mercenary, concealing his lightsaber and using a pair of pistols.
  Having encountered Jax Helk in a seedy cantina in Nar Shaddaa, Kohyardh ended first as the Alor's travelling companion and then as his adopted son.

That droid is massive and terrifying - basically a tank combined with a dog, but I'm sure you know that. Just keep that in mind if you ever try to walk down the street with it.

I didn't know about the Mandalorian Knights though. Cool. Approved.

Also, as of this post, we are live.
