History Characters / StarWarsParanormalitiesValkoranEmpireCharacters

* TechnicallyLivingZombie: [[DiscussedTrope Discussed.]] He looks very skeletal due to skinning himself, but he never actually died to begin with. [[SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome However, since he got rid of his muscles too, he's essentially an invalid without the Force to move his body]] and [[AWizardDidIt only hasn't died from his self-mutilation because of the Dark Side]].

* WhipItGood: She's capable of using the Forceless arm's tongue like this.

* HatedByAll: He was written to be, bar none, the most despicable member of the Valkoran Empire. He is not even the BigBad of any part of the story, yet he's also caused a lot of pain for some of the protagonists. While he has a similar rap sheet (which also includes planetary genocide) and is just as vile, Emperor Valkor comes off as more reasonable and pragmatic when compared to Masochus. In "Ancestor", he makes it clear that even though he sees him as a necessary ally (especially given that the Empire was recently divided), even Valkor can't stand or trust Masochus, to the point of planting a Sleeper Symbiote inside him before the Battle of Ockla Prime, and letting Grein and Armogeist kill him. As Armogeist tells him before killing him, everyone who's met him wants him dead, and as Gahmah Raan puts it afterward, if someone didn't hate him before knowing about him, he'll give them a reason to.

* StoryBreakerPower: When you have the power to kill an entire planet with little effort, this is definitely in effect. Also invoked in that she scored several effortless victories against the Galactic Alliance over the course of a month, and prior, Valkor kept her existence a secret until the Battle of Christophsis. This is also one of the reasons why she was killed off after only two chapters of being on the scene.

* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: By both Grein and Armogeist at the same time, also resulting in him [[HalfTheManHeUsedToBe getting cut in half.

* DisabilityNegatingSuperpower: As he skinned himself down to his bones, he has very little muscle left to the point of being unable to physically move on his own and would be dead under normal circumstances. However, the [[PowerOfHate power of the Dark Side]] has kept him alive for millennia and he can move his own body around using Force-based telekinesis.

See his character entry on the [[Characters/StarWarsParanormalities/SeferiteOrder Seferite Order]] page.

* HumongousMecha: The Gundark-class combat walkers. Taken UpToEleven with the Fortress Tank.

* {{Mooks}}: The Valkoran Troopers are the most common.
** AquaticMook: The SCUBA Troopers.
** EliteMooks: [[PraetorianGuard The Black Guard]]. [[{{Ninja}} And the Shadow Troopers.]]
** GasMaskMooks: Hazard Troopers.
** HeavilyArmoredMook: The Exo-Troopers, who use the same PoweredArmor that Admiral Gravlek used.
** MechaMooks: Some of their combat droids.

* HeelFaceRevolvingDoor: Played with. She was once a member of the Jedi Order, but defected to the Valkoran Empire early in the war. After her death and ressurection on Muriga, she turns against the Forceless Collective (the Valkoran's parent organization) and joins the local resistance. [[SubvertedTrope However]], General Ven Choi later revealed to Zolph that [[FakeDefector Dynn was working as a spy for the Alliance the whole time she was serving under them]].

* HateSink: He was written to be, bar none, the most despicable member of the Valkoran Empire. He is not even the BigBad of any part of the story, yet he's also caused a lot of pain for some of the protagonists. While he has a similar rap sheet (which includes planetary genocide) and is just as vile, Emperor Valkor comes off as more reasonable and pragmatic when compared to Masochus. In "Ancestor", he makes it clear that even though he sees him as a necessary ally (especially given that the Empire was recently divided), even Valkor can't stand or trust Masochus, to the point of planting a Sleeper Symbiote inside him before the Battle of Ockla Prime, and letting Grein and Armogeist kill him.

* MindOverMatter: The fact that he's able to telekinetically wield a lightsaber or Force lightning while using the Force to move his own body at the same time means he has incredible telekinetic power even for an ex-Sith Lord. He might have been one of the deadliest Dark Siders who ever lived if he weren't wasting his power on moving his own body.

* DyingAsYourself[=/=]IDieFree: Both Zolph and Grein made sure she died free of Facadma's possession. She also got to see Grein one last time.

* WhiteMaskOfDoom: That mask is actually Facadma.

* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Like her sister.

* OurLichesAreDiferent: While [[TechnicallyLivingZombie he's not really undead]], him being flayed down to the bone and putting a lot of emphasis on his Force usage puts him close to matching this trope.

Younger sister of Ze'grein'aradi (Grein) and by extension, Seferin Vaelor's (Maesterus) sister-in-law and Zolph's distant aunt. She was kidnapped and possessed by the Forceless Archfiend Facadma more than 3000 years ago. Was believed to be dead until the Battle of Christophsis, in which Valkor used her (or rather Facadma), to annihilate almost all life on the planet's surface.

* HandicappedBadass: A man without skin and muscles should be an invalid (and dead realistically), but Masochus works around his disability through his Force mastery.

* HateSink: He was written to be, bar none, the most despicable member of the Valkoran Empire. He is not even the BigBad of any part of the story, yet he's also caused a lot of pain for some of the protagonists. While he has a similar wrap sheet (which includes genocide) and is just as vile, Emperor Valkor comes off as more reasonable and pragmatic when compared to Masochus. In "Ancestor", he makes it clear that even though he sees him as a necessary ally (especially given that the Empire was recently divided), even Valkor can't stand or trust Masochus, to the point of planting a Sleeper Symbiote inside him before the Battle of Ockla Prime, and letting Grein and Armogeist kill him.

* FauxAffablyEvil: On one hand, he can be really funny, but on the other, he's an unrepentant psychopath that constantly mocks his enemies.

* KarmaHoudiniWarranty: Played with. He got away with most of his atrocities scot-free throughout his life, but the only times before the war he's suffered LaserGuidedKarma are when the Sith exiled him for being StupidEvil and when [[GroinAttack Grein castrated him in retaliation for ratting out Emilin and violating her after possession]]. When it seems he suffers what would be a KarmicDeath at the hands of both Armogeist and Grein, he's a KarmaHoudini from his own perspective because being devoured by Valkor's Black Matter is just free immortality (for everyone else, it's a FateWorseThanDeath). Armogeist laments this, but Grein reminds him that at least he can't harm anyone anymore.

* VilerNewVillain: He was written to be, bar none, the most despicable member of the Valkoran Empire. He is not even the BigBad of any part of the story, yet he's also caused a lot of pain for some of the protagonists. While he has a similar wrap sheet (which includes genocide) and is just as cruel, Emperor Valkor comes off as more reasonable and pragmatic when compared to Masochus. In "Ancestor", he makes it clear that even though he sees him as a necessary ally (especially given that the Empire was recently divided), even Valkor can't stand or trust Masochus.

* HateSink: He was written to be, bar none, the most despicable member of the Valkoran Empire. He is not even the BigBad of any part of the story, yet he's also caused a lot of pain for some of the protagonists. While he has a similar wrap sheet (which includes genocide) and is just as cruel, Emperor Valkor comes off as more reasonable and pragmatic when compared to Masochus. In "Ancestor", he makes it clear that even though he sees him as a necessary ally (especially given that the Empire was recently divided), even Valkor can't stand or trust Masochus.

* CultOfPersonality: Some of the more nationalistic members of the Empire treat Valkor like a god and a potential savior of the galaxy. Once what's left of the Empire becomes the Valkoran Order during the Forceless War, some such as Agnasur are even more openly dogmatic.

See his character entry on the [[Characters/StarWarsParanormalities/ForcelessCollectiveCharacters Forceless Collective]] page.

* FamousLastWords: She tells Zolph to try to let the Valkoran know they are tools for the Forceless Collective and that Maesterus wasn't entirely responsible for the deaths of Zolph's parents.

* AnArmAndALeg: Zolph cuts her right arm off on Tatooine (when he learns of her betrayal), but then gets replaced with a Forceless symbiote. Months later, Zolph cuts off the symbiote after it completely possessed her and mutilated her body, but kills her in the process. After the Forceless Collective resurrects her with the same arm, she tries to cut it off herself before it can possess her again (which is initially hard to do without [[RealityEnsues causing her to lose too much blood]] due to a lack of lightsabers or proper medical equipment to stop the bleeding), eventually succeeding with help from Admon Onae.

* AmbiguouslyHuman: It's officially confirmed that he is an inbred member of the Sith species, but InUniverse, there is only speculation as to what species he is, due to the fact that very people have seen what he looks like before he flayed himself.

* DarkIsEvil: He's a former Sith Lord.

* MoralMyopia: He thinks he did nothing wrong by raping Emilin, but he feels like he was wronged when [[GroinAttack Grein castrated him]] and that she and Emilin deserve to have their breasts cut off in retaliation.

* TheStarscream: Subverted. Valkor suspects him of being this to him due to the Sith's ChronicBackstabbingDisorder tendencies, but it hasn't been confirmed if Masochus actually planned or is planning to backstab Valkor. As a countermeasure, Valkor places a Forceless sleeper symbiote inside his body to ensure his loyalty. However, Masochus confirms to Grein that he has no such ambitions and is only drinking Valkor's Kool-Aid because he just wants to satisfy his own bloodlust.

* TechnicallyLivingZombie: [[DiscussedTrope Discussed.]] He looks very skeletal due to skinning himself, but he never actually died to begin with. [[RealityEnsues However, since he got rid of his muscles too, he's essentially an invalid without the Force to move his body]] and [[AWizardDidIt only hasn't died from his self-mutilation because of the Dark Side]].

* AntiVillain: [[SlidingScaleOfAntiVillains A mix of Type I, III and IV]]. Like Maesterus and most of the Valkoran, she's only interested in bringing the galaxy out of its state of disrepair. Subverted later when General Choi reveals that she was sent as a ReverseMole [[GoodAllAlong to get a better understanding of the Valkoran Empire early in the war]], but she was unable to contact him after she got the Forceless arm.

* ReverseMole: She claims to have been playing this when she got captured before legitimately joining their ranks. According to General Ven Choi, this is actually true to some extent, as he assigned her to infiltrate the Valkoran Empire and gather some intel on them, even if it meant actually switching sides. Unfortunately, this was before the Forceless Collective became a known element of the Valkoran War, and once she got the Forceless replacement arm, she stopped feeding them intel in case the arm ratted her out as a spy.

-->'''Armogeist:''' If you're going to talk that way to her, it would be most appropriate that I cut your tongue out [[spoiler: next]].

* EunuchsAreEvil: After seeing him [[BrainBleach "in his lack of a birthday suit"]], Gahmah Raan describes him as "infertile". WordOfGod confirmed that Grein [[GroinAttack castrated him]] in retaliation for raping Emilin after she was possessed by Facadma. Unfortunately for Grein, this led Masochus to [[BreastAttack cutting off Emilin's breasts]] [[RevengeByProxy in retaliation]] and try to do the same to Grein once he got the opportunity.

* EvilIsPetty: He dipped a pregnant woman into an acid pool just for calling Korriban by one of its other names. And he tries to kill Gahmah Raan for mentioning that [[ItMakesSenseInContext trees can use the Force]].

* HateSink: He was written to be, bar none, the most despicable member of the Valkoran Empire. He is not even the BigBad of any part of the story, yet he's also caused a lot of pain for some of the protagonists.

* InsaneTrollLogic: He tries to claim that Emilin herself and Grein are at fault for the former's possession by Valkor, even though Masochus sold her out and later he claims Grein to be a terrible sister for being unable to MercyKill Emilin herself, when Emilin as Mortaqa would have killed her very easily if within a certain proximity of one another. Fittingly, this warped logic is justified as Masochus is both very insane and he's a massive {{Troll}}.

* KarmaHoudiniWarranty: Played with. He got away with most of his atrocities scot-free throughout his life, but the only times before the war he's suffered LaserGuidedKarma are when the Sith exiled him for being StupidEvil and when [[GroinAttack Grein castrated him in retaliation for cutting Emilin's breasts off]]. When it seems he suffers what would be a KarmicDeath at the hands of both Armogeist and Grein, he's a Houdini from his own perspective because being devoured by Valkor's Black Matter is just free immortality (for everyone else, it's a FateWorseThanDeath). Armogeist laments this, but Grein reminds him that at least he can't harm anyone anymore.

* RoyallyScrewedUp: Because of the aforementioned inbreeding program, he's violently insane and [[SelfMadeOrphan murdered his parents]] and siblings. And [[TheCaligula then it got worse from there]] and eugenics program was completely shut down.

* WellIntentionedExtremist: They don't seek to rule the galaxy. They mostly seek to repair it more effectively after the damage the Yuuzhan Vong did and trim down the number of galactic wars. Unfortunately, they are [[UnwittingPawn Unwitting Pawns]] to the Forceless Collective and many of them are subscribing to cult-like dogma. After the Empire splits into factions, the half loyal to Valkor drops most of the pretense of trying to repair the galaxy.

A former member of the Jedi Order, as well co-apprentices and long-time friends with Zolph Vaelor. She went missing in action during the Battle of Ossus when her fighter crashes into the hangar of a Valkoran warship, and then joined the Valkoran Empire as a double-agent. Unfortunately, she ran into some complications when she was given a prosthetic arm made from a Forceless symbiote.

* BackFromTheDead: She was resurrected by Valkor sometime after the Battle of Krantisi, but it happened so far away from the galaxy that nobody knows about this for months. When Valkor tells Zolph about this at the end of Episode II, he only does so just to torment Zolph further (because Zolph suspects he's most likely [[BlatantLies lying]] [[HopeSpot just to crush his spirit later]] or [[CassandraTruth telling him the truth]] but taunting him with the unlikelihood he'll ever see her again (or if he does, [[YanktheDogsChain lose her again]]). Episode III's prologue reveals that the Forceless Collective revived her one month after Krantisi with the intent of using her as a psychological weapon against Zolph again. However, she wasn't letting it happen that time and escaped with Admon Onae and few other Sleheyron victims.

* FaceHeelTurn: She was once a member of the Jedi Order.

* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: The real Dynn Manthis is a nice and understanding girl, but Zolph's hallucination of her following her death is [[{{Yandere}} terrifyingly possessive]].

* [[RedRightHand Black Right Hand]]: Her replacement arm. Subverted in that Dynn herself [[AntiVillain isn't really evil]], but the arm itself is and eventually takes over her body.
