The following article breaks down weapons that can be listed in the Weapons Load Out on a Character Sheet. For more detailed information on weapons in the brotherhood, check out the [[Weapons]] codex.

Revisions are subject to change upon the introduction of the upcoming Possessions system coming Soon(TM) to the Dark Jedi Brotherhood.

=== Standard Weapons ===
The following is a collection of pre-approved weapons that can be listed on a Character Sheet’s Weapon Load Out section. Any missing weapons from this list can be added as long as they have some established grounding in the Star Wars Expanded universe (flexibility extends from Canon to Legends).

* Cosmetic details of how a weapon is worn is permitted, such as “boot-sheath knife”, “retractable wrist blade”, or “shoulder holsters”.

* Restricted materials include: phrik, cortosis, mandalorian iron, or anything treated with Sith Alchemy.

===== ACC Restrictions =====

Sets vs. Pairs

* A weapon “set” refers to a group or collection of weapons that fall into “bundles” that count as one (1) weapon. Weapon sets come in sub-quantities of five (5). This applies to weapons such as throwing knives (bladed) and any Miscellaneous Weapons such as needle sets, caltrops, durasteel ball bearings, dart Cartridges, etc.

* A weapon “pair” refers to two identical weapons that are being brandished at the same time. Each weapon in a pair counts as one (1) weapon.

Examples:

* A Blastech E-11 counts as one (1) weapon.
* A Vibroblade counts as one (1) weapon.
* A single grenade counts as one (1) weapon. (1x Flash Bang, 2x Glop Grenade, etc.)
* 2 Blastech E-11s count as two (2) weapons as a pair.
* 2 Vibroblades count as two (2) weapons as a pair.

=== Poisons & Weapons ===

Members may add poisoned weapons to their Character Sheets, so long as they specify which poison type they are taking advantage of. In the ACC, Poisons have certain restrictions, but in Fiction, Run-On, Contracts, or other writing forms, you are not restricted to what is listed on your Character Sheet.
==== Poison Types ====
Poisons and Toxins are broken down into the following types: I, II, III, IV. Members are free to creatively name the specific kinds of Poison or Toxins (relative to the Star Wars universe: eg. "Vornskr-Tail or Rancor-Shade") but would use the category type for the purpose of declaring weapons used.

TYPE I - Hallucinogens: Poisons that affect the victim’s senses. Hallucinogens cause the victim to hear/smell/see things that aren’t there or otherwise distort a character’s perception.

TYPE II - Debilitating: Poisons that interfere with the body’s motor functions. Generally these interfere with muscle and nerves, with effects most severe in the local area of the wound.

TYPE III - Neurotoxins: Poisons which primarily cause pain by altering neural receptors in the brain.

TYPE IV - Herbicide - Poisons that specifically target and counteract photosynthesis and aim to cripple species that have chlorophyll instead of a regular blood stream.

==== Character Sheets: Weapons Load Out ====

Example formats for listing poison weapons on a Character Sheet:

20:13, 12 November 2015 (UTC)
* 1x Vial of poison [Type II]
* 1x Vial of poison [Type III]

* 1x Kamino Saberdart [Type I Cartridges]
* 1x set of (5) Poisoned Needles

* 1x bag of (10) Poisoned caltrops [Type IV]

* 2x Poison coated Daggers [Type I, Type III]

20:13, 12 November 2015 (UTC)

==== Poison & The ACC ====

Members may make use of poisons in the ACC, but must declare what specific poison-types they are bringing to the fight so that it is clearly stated in the Match Details. The following bullet points detail how poisons are treated in the ACC.

* Members must have the Poison Weapons Feat to use poisons in the ACC. This is done for mechanical and balancing reasons for the purpose of the ACC.

* Poison Weapons in the ACC covers the coating of a given weapon for a single type of Poison. To effectively use a poisoned weapon in the ACC, a member must have the "Poison Weapons" Feat.

* A poisoned weapon may only be coated with one type of poison.

* A member may utilize poison in the form of a vial or contact method, but must specify that they have the poison with them in the match's weapon details. Contact poison locations should be clearly indicated in the details as well, such as the lips or the gloves.

* Members who carry a poison, or use poisoned weapons are assumed to have both the poison and its antidote at their disposal.

* For a poison to affect an opponent, the weapon must make contact with the bloodstream. Simply holding a poisoned weapon in your hand will not have an effect, but giving yourself a small cut with the weapon would.

* Different species react to poisons differently. If a member does not have a bloodstream, they are not going to suffer effects from that type of poison. These specifications can be found on each Species DJB-Wiki entry.

* A member must define the poison type or a specific poison in Match Details of the challenge.

* A member with a high *Medecine* or *Survival* skill may be able to utilize the environment to create a partial antidote to a poison they are afflicted with. This would require time and concentration, however, which tends to break up the realistic pacing of an ACC Battle and could work against your score. The venue would also have to provide appropriate natural or chemical resources.

* Similarly, Force **Healing** will allow a Force User to treat the effects of poison, assuming they have time to concentrate on the specific task, which will often be difficult during combat.

* Higher levels of **Control Self** will allow a Force User to alter their bodies to better cope with the effects of a poison, but would not actually treat the actual symptoms of the poison.

* Poisons do not act immediately, they take time to incapacitate or kill, depending on the volume applied/injected and method of doing so. The amount on a coated blade would be less than a dart or other projectile designed to inject the poison on impact like the Kamino Saberdart.

===== Poison Related Feats =====

"La Résistance" - Allows the character’s body to naturally resist the effects of toxins and poisons introduced into the bloodstream through conditioning. They can do this without **Control Self**, which allows them to fight through the effects of poisons applied in the ACC.

"Poison Weapons" - Allows a character to use poisoned weapons effectively without accidentally poisoning themselves in the process.

A weapon that is crafted specifically for Grand Inquisitors, the slightly curved blade almost resembles a knife. The cobalt-blue blade is made of metallurgical alloys that make it light as a feather, and with alchemical alterations has the ability to withstand hits from a lightsaber and even deflect blaster bolts.

===== Inquisitorius Stiletto =====
Skill Type: Bladed Weapons

An accessory weapon that is a variation of the Molecular Stiletto appearing to be nothing more than a typical, slender dagger. Upon thumbing a small activator stub on the hilt, however, a sharp and nearly invisible monomolecular blade springs from the tip. This makes the stiletto perfect for penetrating armor in weak points and is deadly as a stabbing weapon in its own right. The blade itself is incredibly brittle, however, and will buckle under impact against even a basic vibroblade. Perfect for a quick and quiet kill, but not as useful in a fight.

The character sheets that the Dark Jedi Brotherhood utilizes are a custom set based on the FATE roleplaying system. While the FATE system is designed for tabletops, it focuses heavily on the act of telling a compelling story through interesting, unique characters. A lot of these elements have been taken and integrated into constructing an entirely new type of system, specifically designed for the Dark Jedi Brotherhood’s various writing activities.

In this guide, you will find all the information you need for creating your character, including guidelines by the Voice team that will ensure your character sheet is approved in a timely manner. Please keep in mind that the Voice staff are responsible for approving every edit made to a character sheet, and that if you have a question or concern with comments made in a remand of your character sheet, please, do not hesitate to contact the staff! We are here to help.

For additional information on the character sheet approval process, check out the [[Character sheet approval guidelines]]

== Creating Your Character ==

To begin, head over to the top left corner of the DJB main webpage where you see your name. When you click it, there are a few options.

1: Click: Administration -> Character Sheet Administration
2: Click: Green Button "Create new character sheet from scratch"
3: Click: "Edit"

This will bring you to the Character Sheet Creation Wizard, which will walk you through all the steps needed to complete your character sheet. Please use the following guide to help craft your character.

=== Step 1: Personal Details ===

Input your characters person details.

==== Species ====

''(Main Article/Document: [[Species]])''

Select your Species from the DB-approved list. You will be able to fine-tune the details of your character in the fields to come as you write a physical description for your character, define their handedness, height, weight, and preferred weapons.

==== Height/Weight ====

Members in the Brotherhood span across the globe. As such, both the metric and imperial measurement systems are used. You may use feet or meters for height, but should also include the conversions for better understanding and immersion among your peers. There are many converters available online to help you with such.

''Example:
6ft / 1.82m or 1.82m/6ft
185lbs / 83.9kg or 83.9kg / 185lbs''

For the most accurate results, pick a real-life person, athlete, actor, or someone that you feel closely portrays your character. Look up what their height/weight is, and adjust from there.

==== Handedness ====

Select if your character is right-handed, left-handed. Ambidexterity is covered with a set of selected Feats you will learn about later on and can apply to your character.

==== Physical Description ====
What does your character look like? This section serves as the basis on which your peers will answer that question and draw a visual imagine in their own heads as to what your character looks like.
Include details like muscle tone, flabbiness, skin tone, nose shape, eye color, scars, hair style, fashion sense, tattoos, or even unique birthmarks! The more detail you provide a reader, the easier it becomes for them to put a face to the name they are reading about. Focus on painting a clear picture of your character.

==== Weapons Loadout ====

Please see the [[Weapon Selection Guide]] for more information on selecting which weapons your character carries around on a regular basis.

'''Note:''' Fighting style should be reserved for your Combat Aspects. Listing how and when you use your weapons is also better communicated through those Aspects, especially if you are writing your own unique style. Stating that you use the Force in lieu of weapons is acceptable, but again, listing what powers you use or how you use them should be limited to Aspects and Force Power assignments.

=== Step 2: Disciplines ===
:''Main Article: [[Disciplines]]''

Select your character’s Discipline: in classic RPG terms, this is where you pick something much like a Class. Each Discipline comes with two unique Feats. One modifies an existing Force Power, while the other grants a Force Power unique to the Discipline. Your Discipline serves as a basis for how you will build your character’s unique personality and your Skill and Force Power sets. Disciplines, in character, relate to the training your character would receive as he or she advances. This is in contrast to the Orders, which are meant to represent more of the philosophical background to how your character uses and relates to the Force.

=== Step 3: Aspects ===
:''Main Article: [[Aspects]]''

{{Quote|Scoundrel. I like that.|Han Solo}}

You've created the outline for what you want your character to be. Now it is time to define who that character really is.

Aspects are the key to your character's personality and what sets them apart from other characters. They allow you to expand on your character's merits, flaws, habits and quirks, traits that help make them truly unique and likable. These Aspects can be rooted in your character's history, upbringing or background to shed light onto what makes them behave in various situations or scenarios.

When creating a character, you want your reader to be able to empathize in some way, shape, or form. Even if you are writing an evil, bunny-killing Dark Jedi, giving them a balanced set of flaws and merits not only makes them realistic, but also easier to relate to. If your character is relatable, your reader will have a better experience reading your work. Step 3. Profit.

Every character gets to choose six (6) Aspects. These six (6) Aspects are divided into three categories that get two Aspects each: General (2), Personality (2), and Combat (2).

Personality Aspects are the most important, as they are the heart of your character. These can range from phobias and quirks to motivations and ambitions, hopes and dreams, the most vital things that make your character who he or she is.

Combat Aspects detail your character's fighting style and habits. This can range from ranged fighting and stealth to melee and a tendency to want to blow things up.

General Aspects can fall under either personality or combat. They can also be used to describe anything that falls in-between or outside of the aforementioned categories as well, such as some character history or a relationship with another character.

You have the choice of selecting from a plethora of Aspects pre-written and created by members of the Brotherhood (recommended for newer members) or creating your own custom Aspects!

==== Example of Pre-Written Aspect ====

''"Lone Wolf"''

Lando Solowalker doesn't like to work in groups or teams and feels most comfortable on his own. Ladno Solowalker sticks to himself, sets his own pace, and doesn't share feelings or emotions with others. While the Lone Wolf can get things done quietly and efficiently, he tends to be emotionally cut off and has problems relating to his comrades.

Though simple, this Aspect does a great job of separating your character from the rest of the pack. It then goes on to point out the flaw/merits of this loner attitude, creating a realistic, relatable character.

The possibilities are endless, but ultimately, using the elements of your characters history, backstory, and culture with a cause and effect is a surefire way of having your custom aspect approved!

=== Step 4: Skills ===
:''Main Article: [[Skills]]''

{{Quote|These blast points - too accurate for Sand People. Only Imperial Stormtroopers are so precise.|Obi-wan Kenobi}}

Skills are the fundamental actions that your character is able to perform. Most Skills are usable at a very basic level, even untrained, but to perform meaningful tasks with those Skills, your character will need to put points into them. Skills represent actions your character could take, from firing a weapon to managing a diplomatic negotiation, and demonstrate how good your character is at utilizing that particular skillset. It’s important to remember that circumstance is almost always more important than just who has a higher modifier in a Skill or Power. Many Feats modify Skills, and allow them to be used in different ways. We'll talk about Feats below.

The most important thing to remember about Skills: you can’t be good at ALL the things. Balance is a big part of what makes characters realistic and even relatable. Even if you have no points in a given Skill, say, Blasters, you can still pick one up, point it, and shoot. You will just have a hard time hitting anything. The second important thing to remember is that +3 (Proficient) makes up what Skills your character is considered pretty darn good at. Just because you're not a master in Bladed Weapons doesn't mean that you're still not deadly with a sword. It’s all relative to the scale. Most Brotherhood members should think of the +3 tier as being very good at something, far above average.

For this reason, we've created a progression system that helps shed light on what each skill tier enables your character to do.

==== Skill/Force Power Ladder System ====

You need to build up to the Skills you want to master, and to reach a higher tier you need a set of Skills filling the prior tier. The Skills you use to build do not have to be related. This is not a Skill Tree like you see in ToR or other RPGs. All it means is that in order to create a balanced skill-set, you can't be "amazeballs" at everything.

Instead, think of it like a pyramid: you can't build a pyramid upside down, can you? The top layer needs to always be supported by a layer below it. An image of a proper skill pyramid can been seen below.

To set your Skills and Force Powers, drag and drop the grey boxes into the respective sections designated by +1, +2, +3, +4 and +5.

[[file:CS5.jpg|450px]]

If you build your ladder improperly, and don't have the proper pyramid base, you will see a red highlight appear around your Skills, as seen in the image below. Your sheet will not be approved and you will not be able to move forward.

[[file:CS6.jpg|450px]]

Both Skills and Force Powers have separate ladders. The number of points you have to build your ladder is based upon your Order and your current rank.

==== Skill Points ====

There are four different rank tiers which provide access to higher proficiencies as you progress in Brotherhood [[rank]]. Moving from one tier to the next gives you a larger boost in total Skill points from which to draw upon.

{| border ="1"
! Novitiate !! !! Journeyman !! !! Equite !! !! Elder !! !! Grand Master !!
|-
| Initiate || '''11 ''' || Protector || '''20''' || Equite I || '''29''' || Dark Adept ||'''38'''|| Grand Master || '''Infinity'''
|-
| Apprentice || '''12''' || Guardian || '''21''' || Equite II || '''30''' || Dark Jedi Master || '''39''' || ||

|-
| Acolyte || '''14''' || Dark Jedi Knight || '''23''' || Equite IV || '''32''' || || || ||
|}

==== Skill Levels ====
Each level of proficiency in a Skill can be bought using one (1) point. There are six levels of Skill proficiency:

Mediocre (Untrained, +0) - Available to all ranks 
Learned (+1) - Available to all ranks 
Average (+2) - Available to all ranks 
Proficient (+3) - Available at Journeyman 
Adept (+4) - Available at Equite I 
Master (+5) - Available at Dark Adept 
Sovereign (+6) - Available at Grand Master

=== Step 5: Force Powers ===
:''Main Article: [[Force Powers]]''

{{Quote|The Force is what gives a Jedi his power.|Obi-wan Kenobi}}

Quick explanation of Force Powers.

==== Force Power Points ====

There are six different rank tiers which provide access to higher proficiencies as you progress in Brotherhood rank. Moving from one tier to the next gives you a larger boost in total Force Power points from which to draw upon.

Force points are distributed in the same manner as Skill points and use the same style of pyramid to balance out which Force Powers your character is best at.

{| border ="1"
! Novitiate !! !! Journeyman !! !! Equite !! !! Elder !! !! Grand Master !!
|-
| Initiate || '''11 ''' || Protector || '''20''' || Equite I || '''29''' || Dark Adept ||'''38'''|| Grand Master || '''46'''
|-
| Apprentice || '''12''' || Guardian || '''21''' || Equite II || '''30''' || Dark Jedi Master || '''39''' || ||
|-
| Novice || '''13''' || Jedi Hunter || '''22''' || Equite III || '''31''' || Dark Prophet || '''40''' || ||
|-
| Acolyte || '''14''' || Dark Jedi Knight || '''23''' || Equite IV || '''32''' || || || ||
|}

==== Force Power Levels ====

Each level of proficiency in a Force Power can be bought using one (1) point. There are six levels of Force Power proficiency:

Initiate (+1) - Available to all ranks 
Studied (+2) - Available to all ranks 
Disciple (+3) - Available at JM 1 
Adept (+4) - Available at EQ I 
Master (+5) - Available at Dark Adept 
Grand Master (+6) - Available at Grand Master

=== Step 6: Specializations ===

Here you select your primary and secondary [[Lightsaber Forms]] as well as your primary and secondary [[Hand to Hand Combat Guide|Martial Arts]] styles. [[Lightsaber Forms]] become available to Journeyman, but until Dark Jedi Knight, the only form a member can become proficient in is Form Zero. Form Zero introduces the basic movements and strikes that the more advanced forms build from.

==== Lightsaber Form ====

[[Lightsaber Forms]]

Upon reaching the rank of Knight, your character can learn up to '''two''' [[Lightsaber Forms]]. This is not to say that your character doesn't know about other forms, but your character has only practiced in a maximum of two. In order to select a form, you must have at least a +1 in Primary Lightsaber Form, and in order to select a second form, you must have at least +1 in Secondary Lightsaber Form.

==== Martial Arts Style ====

[[Martial Arts]]

Your martial arts style is how you do combat without a lightsaber or blaster. Much like your lightsaber style, you must have at least a +1 in Primary Martial Arts Style in order to select a style. The same, too, for your Secondary Martial Arts Style.

{{ImportantNote
|text= NOTE: Martial Arts Guide is currently being re-written. For now, please disregard references to stats from the old Character Sheet system. Martial Arts Styles do not require a previous form either, as this too is a holdover from the older version of the Character Sheets.
|color=black
|background=#9AA7B5
|border=solid 1px white}}

==== Lore ====

For each Rank in the Lore Skill, your character has studied a subject intensely and is considered an expert in that field. This knowledge is on par with an academic 2-4 year program. Beginning with one subject at Skill Level 1, you gain an additional subject for each respective Skill Level.

All characters have knowledge of the Brotherhood as well as the history of the modern era (Imperial Period, New Republic, and New Jedi Order). You are up to date on current news and pop culture and the state of the galaxy and have completed basic academic training. If you want to explore a lack of education, you would cover this under a Custom Aspect.

==== Languages ====

[[Languages|Languages guide]]

Linguistics refers to an individual's ability to read, write, and analyze text, speech, and transcriptions from different languages. All characters have a base understanding of their own native language and galactic basic. Linguistics covers the addition of new languages to an individual's repertoire, one for each rank in the skill. When used untrained, this skill grants proficiency in all common languages associated with the individual's species.

All species are able to speak or understand Galactic Basic by default as a part of your “base” language. If you selected a non-Human species, you also get that species' native language as a base. Base languages are present even if Linguistics is set to +0. Linguistic, then, applies only to additional languages you wish to add to your characters ability.

A list of languages currently in use in the character creation system is available in the [[Languages|Languages guide]]. Please consult the [[Species|Species guide]] or Wookieepedia for information on which languages your chosen species knows if you do not know. All languages must be considered Star Wars canon.

=== Step 7: Feats ===
'''Main Article:''' [[Feats]].

Feats are at the heart of the character sheets, and probably the most fun to take advantage of. Feats are perks, maneuvers, or techniques your character has that change how a Skill or Force Power behaves. Each Feat is associated directly with a Skill or Force Power and allows you to augment or modify them in different ways. Some Feats allow you to substitute one Skill or Force Power for another in certain circumstances, sometimes at a penalty. Others directly enhance a single Skill in a specific way.

Keep in mind you must have points in the Skill or Force Power that a Feat modifies to take advantage of it! Feats apply to situations, and do not supply permanent stat-boosts as a passive state. Many Feats allow you to use one skill in place of another. Remember when looking over someone else’s character sheet to check the Feats they have, as Feats directly influence Force Powers and Skills!

=== Final Step: Save and Submit ===

Once you have completed all the steps in the Character Creation Tool, you can press the "Save" button located at the bottom. Once you have saved your new character sheet, you still have one more step to go! Return to Character Sheet Administration, and you will see your current active sheet as being editable. On the right hand side, you can either Preview your sheet, or submit it for the Voice staff to look over and approve!

The character sheets that the Dark Jedi Brotherhood utilizes are a custom set based on the FATE roleplaying system. While the FATE system is designed for tabletops, it focuses heavily on the act of telling a compelling story through interesting, unique characters. A lot of these elements have been taken and integrated into constructing an entirely new type of system, specifically designed for the Dark Jedi Brotherhood’s various writing activities.

In this guide, you will find all the information you need for creating your character, including guidelines by the Voice team that will ensure your character sheet is approved in a timely manner. Please keep in mind that the Voice staff are responsible for approving every edit made to a character sheet, and that if you have a question or concern with comments made in a remand of your character sheet, please, do not hesitate to contact the staff! We are here to help.

For additional information on the character sheet approval process, check out the [[Character sheet approval guidelines]]

== Creating Your Character ==

To begin, head over to the top left corner of the DJB main webpage where you see your name. When you click it, there are a few options.

1: Click: Administration -> Character Sheet Administration
2: Click: Green Button "Create new character sheet from scratch"
3: Click: "Edit"

This will bring you to the Character Sheet Creation Wizard, which will walk you through all the steps needed to complete your character sheet. Please use the following guide to help craft your character.

=== Step 1: Personal Details ===

Input your characters person details.

==== Species ====

''(Main Article/Document: [[Species]])''

Select your Species from the DB-approved list. You will be able to fine-tune the details of your character in the fields to come as you write a physical description for your character, define their handedness, height, weight, and preferred weapons.

==== Height/Weight ====

Members in the Brotherhood span across the globe. As such, both the metric and imperial measurement systems are used. You may use feet or meters for height, but should also include the conversions for better understanding and immersion among your peers. There are many converters available online to help you with such.

''Example:
6ft / 1.82m or 1.82m/6ft
185lbs / 83.9kg or 83.9kg / 185lbs''

For the most accurate results, pick a real-life person, athlete, actor, or someone that you feel closely portrays your character. Look up what their height/weight is, and adjust from there.

==== Handedness ====

Select if your character is right-handed, left-handed. Ambidexterity is covered with a set of selected Feats you will learn about later on and can apply to your character.

==== Physical Description ====
What does your character look like? This section serves as the basis on which your peers will answer that question and draw a visual imagine in their own heads as to what your character looks like.
Include details like muscle tone, flabbiness, skin tone, nose shape, eye color, scars, hair style, fashion sense, tattoos, or even unique birthmarks! The more detail you provide a reader, the easier it becomes for them to put a face to the name they are reading about. Focus on painting a clear picture of your character.

==== Weapons Loadout ====

Please see the [[Weapon Selection Guide]] for more information on selecting which weapons your character carries around on a regular basis.

'''Note:''' Fighting style should be reserved for your Combat Aspects. Listing how and when you use your weapons is also better communicated through those Aspects, especially if you are writing your own unique style. Stating that you use the Force in lieu of weapons is acceptable, but again, listing what powers you use or how you use them should be limited to Aspects and Force Power assignments.

=== Step 2: Disciplines ===
:''Main Article: [[Disciplines]]''

Select your character’s Discipline: in classic RPG terms, this is where you pick something much like a Class. Each Discipline comes with two unique Feats. One modifies an existing Force Power, while the other grants a Force Power unique to the Discipline. Your Discipline serves as a basis for how you will build your character’s unique personality and your Skill and Force Power sets. Disciplines, in character, relate to the training your character would receive as he or she advances. This is in contrast to the Orders, which are meant to represent more of the philosophical background to how your character uses and relates to the Force.

=== Step 3: Aspects ===
:''Main Article: [[Aspects]]''

{{Quote|Scoundrel. I like that.|Han Solo}}

You've created the outline for what you want your character to be. Now it is time to define who that character really is.

Aspects are the key to your character's personality and what sets them apart from other characters. They allow you to expand on your character's merits, flaws, habits and quirks, traits that help make them truly unique and likable. These Aspects can be rooted in your character's history, upbringing or background to shed light onto what makes them behave in various situations or scenarios.

When creating a character, you want your reader to be able to empathize in some way, shape, or form. Even if you are writing an evil, bunny-killing Dark Jedi, giving them a balanced set of flaws and merits not only makes them realistic, but also easier to relate to. If your character is relatable, your reader will have a better experience reading your work. Step 3. Profit.

Every character gets to choose six (6) Aspects. These six (6) Aspects are divided into three categories that get two Aspects each: General (2), Personality (2), and Combat (2).

Personality Aspects are the most important, as they are the heart of your character. These can range from phobias and quirks to motivations and ambitions, hopes and dreams, the most vital things that make your character who he or she is.

Combat Aspects detail your character's fighting style and habits. This can range from ranged fighting and stealth to melee and a tendency to want to blow things up.

General Aspects can fall under either personality or combat. They can also be used to describe anything that falls in-between or outside of the aforementioned categories as well, such as some character history or a relationship with another character.

You have the choice of selecting from a plethora of Aspects pre-written and created by members of the Brotherhood (recommended for newer members) or creating your own custom Aspects!

==== Example of Pre-Written Aspect ====

''"Lone Wolf"''

Lando Solowalker doesn't like to work in groups or teams and feels most comfortable on his own. Ladno Solowalker sticks to himself, sets his own pace, and doesn't share feelings or emotions with others. While the Lone Wolf can get things done quietly and efficiently, he tends to be emotionally cut off and has problems relating to his comrades.

Though simple, this Aspect does a great job of separating your character from the rest of the pack. It then goes on to point out the flaw/merits of this loner attitude, creating a realistic, relatable character.

The possibilities are endless, but ultimately, using the elements of your characters history, backstory, and culture with a cause and effect is a surefire way of having your custom aspect approved!

=== Step 4: Skills ===
:''Main Article: [[Skills]]''

{{Quote|These blast points - too accurate for Sand People. Only Imperial Stormtroopers are so precise.|Obi-wan Kenobi}}

Skills are the fundamental actions that your character is able to perform. Most Skills are usable at a very basic level, even untrained, but to perform meaningful tasks with those Skills, your character will need to put points into them. Skills represent actions your character could take, from firing a weapon to managing a diplomatic negotiation, and demonstrate how good your character is at utilizing that particular skillset. It’s important to remember that circumstance is almost always more important than just who has a higher modifier in a Skill or Power. Many Feats modify Skills, and allow them to be used in different ways. We'll talk about Feats below.

The most important thing to remember about Skills: you can’t be good at ALL the things. Balance is a big part of what makes characters realistic and even relatable. Even if you have no points in a given Skill, say, Blasters, you can still pick one up, point it, and shoot. You will just have a hard time hitting anything. The second important thing to remember is that +3 (Proficient) makes up what Skills your character is considered pretty darn good at. Just because you're not a master in Bladed Weapons doesn't mean that you're still not deadly with a sword. It’s all relative to the scale. Most Brotherhood members should think of the +3 tier as being very good at something, far above average.

For this reason, we've created a progression system that helps shed light on what each skill tier enables your character to do.

==== Skill/Force Power Ladder System ====

You need to build up to the Skills you want to master, and to reach a higher tier you need a set of Skills filling the prior tier. The Skills you use to build do not have to be related. This is not a Skill Tree like you see in ToR or other RPGs. All it means is that in order to create a balanced skill-set, you can't be "amazeballs" at everything.

Instead, think of it like a pyramid: you can't build a pyramid upside down, can you? The top layer needs to always be supported by a layer below it. An image of a proper skill pyramid can been seen below.

To set your Skills and Force Powers, drag and drop the grey boxes into the respective sections designated by +1, +2, +3, +4 and +5.

[[file:CS5.jpg|450px]]

If you build your ladder improperly, and don't have the proper pyramid base, you will see a red highlight appear around your Skills, as seen in the image below. Your sheet will not be approved and you will not be able to move forward.

[[file:CS6.jpg|450px]]

Both Skills and Force Powers have separate ladders. The number of points you have to build your ladder is based upon your Order and your current rank.

==== Skill Points ====

There are four different rank tiers which provide access to higher proficiencies as you progress in Brotherhood [[rank]]. Moving from one tier to the next gives you a larger boost in total Skill points from which to draw upon.

{| border ="1"
! Novitiate !! !! Journeyman !! !! Equite !! !! Elder !! !! Grand Master !!
|-
| Initiate || '''11 ''' || Protector || '''20''' || Equite I || '''29''' || Dark Adept ||'''38'''|| Grand Master || '''Infinity'''
|-
| Apprentice || '''12''' || Guardian || '''21''' || Equite II || '''30''' || Dark Jedi Master || '''39''' || ||
|-
| Novice || '''13''' || Jedi Hunter || '''22''' || Equite III || '''31''' || Dark Prophet || '''40''' || ||
|-
| Acolyte || '''14''' || Dark Jedi Knight || '''23''' || Equite IV || '''32''' || || || ||
|}

==== Skill Levels ====
Each level of proficiency in a Skill can be bought using one (1) point. There are six levels of Skill proficiency:

Mediocre (Untrained, +0) - Available to all ranks 
Learned (+1) - Available to all ranks 
Average (+2) - Available to all ranks 
Proficient (+3) - Available at Journeyman 
Adept (+4) - Available at Equite I 
Master (+5) - Available at Dark Adept 
Sovereign (+6) - Available at Grand Master

=== Step 5: Force Powers ===
:''Main Article: [[Force Powers]]''

{{Quote|The Force is what gives a Jedi his power.|Obi-wan Kenobi}}

Quick explanation of Force Powers.

==== Force Power Points ====

There are six different rank tiers which provide access to higher proficiencies as you progress in Brotherhood rank. Moving from one tier to the next gives you a larger boost in total Force Power points from which to draw upon.

Force points are distributed in the same manner as Skill points and use the same style of pyramid to balance out which Force Powers your character is best at.

{| border ="1"
! Novitiate !! !! Journeyman !! !! Equite !! !! Elder !! !! Grand Master !!
|-
| Initiate || '''11 ''' || Protector || '''20''' || Equite I || '''29''' || Dark Adept ||'''38'''|| Grand Master || '''46'''
|-
| Apprentice || '''12''' || Guardian || '''21''' || Equite II || '''30''' || Dark Jedi Master || '''39''' || ||
|-
| Novice || '''13''' || Jedi Hunter || '''22''' || Equite III || '''31''' || Dark Prophet || '''40''' || ||
|-
| Acolyte || '''14''' || Dark Jedi Knight || '''23''' || Equite IV || '''32''' || || || ||
|}

==== Force Power Levels ====

Each level of proficiency in a Force Power can be bought using one (1) point. There are six levels of Force Power proficiency:

Initiate (+1) - Available to all ranks 
Studied (+2) - Available to all ranks 
Disciple (+3) - Available at JM 1 
Adept (+4) - Available at EQ I 
Master (+5) - Available at Dark Adept 
Grand Master (+6) - Available at Grand Master

=== Step 6: Specializations ===

Here you select your primary and secondary [[Lightsaber Forms]] as well as your primary and secondary [[Hand to Hand Combat Guide|Martial Arts]] styles. [[Lightsaber Forms]] become available to Journeyman, but until Dark Jedi Knight, the only form a member can become proficient in is Form Zero. Form Zero introduces the basic movements and strikes that the more advanced forms build from.

==== Lightsaber Form ====

Upon reaching the rank of Knight, your character can learn up to '''two''' [[Lightsaber Forms]]. This is not to say that your character doesn't know about other forms, but your character has only practiced in a maximum of two. In order to select a form, you must have at least a +1 in Primary Lightsaber Form, and in order to select a second form, you must have at least +1 in Secondary Lightsaber Form.

==== Martial Arts Style ====

Your martial arts style is how you do combat without a lightsaber or blaster. Much like your lightsaber style, you must have at least a +1 in Primary Martial Arts Style in order to select a style. The same, too, for your Secondary Martial Arts Style.

{{ImportantNote
|text= NOTE: Martial Arts Guide is currently being re-written. For now, please disregard references to stats from the old Character Sheet system. Martial Arts Styles do not require a previous form either, as this too is a holdover from the older version of the Character Sheets.
|color=black
|background=#9AA7B5
|border=solid 1px white}}

==== Lore ====

For each Rank in the Lore Skill, your character has studied a subject intensely and is considered an expert in that field. This knowledge is on par with an academic 2-4 year program. Beginning with one subject at Skill Level 1, you gain an additional subject for each respective Skill Level.

All characters have knowledge of the Brotherhood as well as the history of the modern era (Imperial Period, New Republic, and New Jedi Order). You are up to date on current news and pop culture and the state of the galaxy and have completed basic academic training. If you want to explore a lack of education, you would cover this under a Custom Aspect.

==== Languages ====

Linguistics refers to an individual's ability to read, write, and analyze text, speech, and transcriptions from different languages. All characters have a base understanding of their own native language and galactic basic. Linguistics covers the addition of new languages to an individual's repertoire, one for each rank in the skill. When used untrained, this skill grants proficiency in all common languages associated with the individual's species.

All species are able to speak or understand Galactic Basic by default as a part of your “base” language. If you selected a non-Human species, you also get that species' native language as a base. Base languages are present even if Linguistics is set to +0. Linguistic, then, applies only to additional languages you wish to add to your characters ability.

A list of languages currently in use in the character creation system is available in the [[Languages|Languages guide]]. Please consult the [[Species|Species guide]] or Wookieepedia for information on which languages your chosen species knows if you do not know. All languages must be considered Star Wars canon.

=== Step 7: Feats ===
'''Main Article:''' [[Feats]].

Feats are at the heart of the character sheets, and probably the most fun to take advantage of. Feats are perks, maneuvers, or techniques your character has that change how a Skill or Force Power behaves. Each Feat is associated directly with a Skill or Force Power and allows you to augment or modify them in different ways. Some Feats allow you to substitute one Skill or Force Power for another in certain circumstances, sometimes at a penalty. Others directly enhance a single Skill in a specific way.

Keep in mind you must have points in the Skill or Force Power that a Feat modifies to take advantage of it! Feats apply to situations, and do not supply permanent stat-boosts as a passive state. Many Feats allow you to use one skill in place of another. Remember when looking over someone else’s character sheet to check the Feats they have, as Feats directly influence Force Powers and Skills!

=== Final Step: Save and Submit ===

Once you have completed all the steps in the Character Creation Tool, you can press the "Save" button located at the bottom. Once you have saved your new character sheet, you still have one more step to go! Return to Character Sheet Administration, and you will see your current active sheet as being editable. On the right hand side, you can either Preview your sheet, or submit it for the Voice staff to look over and approve!

Input your characters person details.

==== Species ====

''(Main Article/Document: [[Species]])''

Select your Species from the DB-approved list. You will be able to fine-tune the details of your character in the fields to come as you write a physical description for your character, define their handedness, height, weight, and preferred weapons.

==== Height/Weight ====

Members in the Brotherhood span across the globe. As such, both the metric and imperial measurement systems are used. You may use feet or meters for height, but should also include the conversions for better understanding and immersion among your peers. There are many converters available online to help you with such.

''Example:
6ft / 1.82m or 1.82m/6ft
185lbs / 83.9kg or 83.9kg / 185lbs''

For the most accurate results, pick a real-life person, athlete, actor, or someone that you feel closely portrays your character. Look up what their height/weight is, and adjust from there.

==== Handedness ====

==== Lore ====

For each Rank in the Lore Skill, your character has studied a subject intensely and is considered an expert in that field. This knowledge is on par with an academic 2-4 year program. Beginning with one subject at Skill Level 1, you gain an additional subject for each respective Skill Level.

All characters have knowledge of the Brotherhood as well as the history of the modern era (Imperial Period, New Republic, and New Jedi Order). You are up to date on current news and pop culture and the state of the galaxy and have completed basic academic training.

All species are able to speak or understand Galactic Basic by default as a part of your “base” language. If you selected a non-Human species, you also get that species' native language as a base. Base languages are present even if Linguistics is set to +0. Linguistic, then, applies only to additional languages you wish to add to your characters ability.

A list of languages currently in use in the character creation system is available in the [[Languages|Languages guide]]. Please consult the [[Species|Species guide]] or Wookieepedia for information on which languages your chosen species knows if you do not know. All languages must be considered Star Wars canon.

=== Step 7: Feats ===
'''Main Article:''' [[Feats]].

Feats are at the heart of the character sheets, and probably the most fun to take advantage of. Feats are perks, maneuvers, or techniques your character has that change how a Skill or Force Power behaves. Each Feat is associated directly with a Skill or Force Power and allows you to augment or modify them in different ways. Some Feats allow you to substitute one Skill or Force Power for another in certain circumstances, sometimes at a penalty. Others directly enhance a single Skill in a specific way.

Keep in mind you must have points in the Skill or Force Power that a Feat modifies to take advantage of it! Feats apply to situations, and do not supply permanent stat-boosts as a passive state. Many Feats allow you to use one skill in place of another. Remember when looking over someone else’s character sheet to check the Feats they have, as Feats directly influence Force Powers and Skills!

=== Final Step: Save and Submit ===

Once you have completed all the steps in the Character Creation Tool, you can press the "Save" button located at the bottom. Once you have saved your new character sheet, you still have one more step to go! Return to Character Sheet Administration, and you will see your current active sheet as being editable. On the right hand side, you can either Preview your sheet, or submit it for the Voice staff to look over and approve!

== Biography ==
=== Early Life ===
'''Ondur''', ''a mononymic'', '''''later adopting a surname''''' was born on [[starwars:Umbara|Umbara]] in 18 ABY to a mid-caste family, in a heavily caste-stratified society, of almost one-hundred castes. Though it's important to note that the timing of his birth, and events just a decade before led to great impact on his early years. Umbara has always been famous for the highly effective [[starwars:Sith Academy (Umbara)|''legendary training Academy for Force sensitives'']]. Known to focus almost solely on developing force sensitive assassins. Almost all were Umbarans or favored individuals trained to serve Emperor Palpatine directly as Force Adepts or Dark Jedi Assassins.

Though this was the height of [[starwars:Umbaran|Umbaran]] favor on a Galactic scale, they were also famous as training "[[Sith]]" [[starwars:Sith assassin|Assassins]] of various kinds throughout history.

However, despite this, the fall of the Emperor sent chaos and fear through the Umbaran species. Large amounts of his species returned to a homeworld where caste and politick alone changed enough of the political landscape. The Galactic power shift brought further blood and guilt in full force to the Umbaran Homeworld.

In short, these events were just settling when Ondur Lkaetur was born. But for Umbara, normal and infighting go hand in hand. It was a few years into his life before he began to learn politick, diplomacy, subterfuge, and his unnatural luck to help further his family in cause and caste. As he grew, he practiced such skills first hand, though early on learned of something far greater that ran sporadic through his family bloodline.

At four years old, a slightly older friend of his, Kylus, made an insult to Ondur's family. Ondur, too young to be aware of his species humour, didn't know how to react. Only that raw emotion and anger came forth in his heart. Ondur was simply unable to hold back his feelings. Despite having no grasp of the implications of who exactly his friend's family happened to be. He seethed while shouting out and pounded his fist at an inner angle. Feeling, entirely in his head, himself slamming his hand forcefully into his supposed friend's lower neck and shoulder.

Though in reality, the child Kylus wrenched at nearly the exact angle and placement with incredible pressure. Blunt force pushing his shoulder and neck harshly down and inward. The crunch of bone and windpipe was heard not just by Ondur but nearby children as well. The death gasps lasted for several minutes while children gathered. Watching Ondur's former friend slowly gasp in vain.
This death was not quick while Ondur enjoyed his moment of victory. Not to mention the dead Kylus' painful last moments.

It would be soon after that Ondur learned quite fully about [[starwars:Umbaran|Umbaran]] society. How its people can twist and shift as fast as his first kill. He would learn hard.. and shortly.
=== Twist of Fate ===
Ondur had run through the halls and courtyards nearby. Weaving through alleys and what most other races would consider gloom. As if chased by some of the worst beasts to be found in the jungle-like woods found outside the cities and settled places through Umbara. He didn't run out of fear, but exhilaration. Ondur craved the feeling and wished it wouldn't fade, though it was already dipping into fear. What felt like years of running finally led him home. He was desperate to proclaim victory to his family.

Ondur found his mother first when he arrived at home. "Mother, where are my brothers?" He was breathing heavily but didn't wait for her response. "I won! I beat him! I protected our honour, your honour Mother!". His two brothers came up from stairs that led underground and up onto the ground floor. Their mother turned to Ondur, while waved the two back downstairs. They quickly returned downstairs. She looked at Ondur with a fierce stare, causing him to doubt his actions a moment, despite the fact that she hadn't even heard what he had to say.

"Son, what in hateful-sun's sake did you do?" Ondur sat and bowed onto the entrance carpet, towards her, a gesture of humility. One of the few ceremonial gesticulations he was aware of. He explained everything, including the exact words Rylus used. His mother sighed, furious. Eons seemed to come and go as she gathered her words. "He.. was... complimenting you.. you foolish.. foolish child...". "Your father would be ashamed if he saw you just now. No. He'd be stupid enough to be proud. Which is why he is gone. He could never understand.. Enough now."

Ondur was soon to find himself pushed in, and locked in, the family's punishment room. A room with a ceiling made of lighting-tile familiar to humans. Though he was Umbaran, and it was the equivalent of a human being tortured with ripped eyelids and strapped down to stare into a sun. Even when he closed his eyes the pain was present and had the sensation of his eyes being peeled atom by atom. The small room was a nightmare to his brothers, though he found himself in there far more often than they.

After a full standard day his mother arrived at the other side of the small rooms door. She pushed a button to activate a holo-com. There was a man with his mother. One he recognised as the father of his now late friend Rylus. "Leave us to speak in private. I need to talk to the boy. Alone." Ondur watched his mother follow the command as if it was an order. It was. "You, boy.." said the man, seething. "I took lawful servitude of your brothers. They will serve me. As will you. However.."

The door opened, automatically shutting the light-tiles down. Ondur was shaking in fear. The man was robed and had an unfamiliar cylinder attached to his waist. One end opened into a small chamber of sorts, while the other side had a button of some kind, terminating the cylinder with triangular shapes attached to a rounded end. As Ondur tried to speak, he felt a firm but light push that kept his mouth shut.

"I have much to tell you." The man pulled to unveil his hood and continued to come closer to the child.

"You have a dark future ahead of you, should you succeed. I am Head Overseer of a special school for you. You begin tomorrow. Your mother will live with me but will not be punished. You will see your brothers working as servants until you finish school. You will be a a special student among a few others your age, they are special too." He paused, mocked a smile and choosing his words carefully,

"I adopt you as my own child. In place of my late son, I will take you. You have your mother to thank. Matron Lkaetur had fought to convince me in allowing you to live. At the cost of your family's comfort. Fortunately they are not slaves, or dead. Yet they will rely on your success."

Confusion, anger, exhilaration, fear, a tempest of raw emotions poured into Ondur. Shaking, he stared at the item attached to the Overseer's waist. The attachment cracked, the cylinder fell and flung against the wall, vibrating as it shook against it. Between the unfamiliar object and wall, was the button Ondur noticed. The constant force pushing it to the corner finally pushed it fully inward.

It activated as a beam of deep red light hissed outward as a longer cylinder. The blazing red light sizzled and smoked against the wall, scoring it, then disengaging as the invisible force seemed to end. Ondur spoke, "I.. okay. I will succeed." Soon he would face years of intense training in the darkness.

== Training Summary At Academy ==
*It is important to note that this was before joining the Dark Jedi Brotherhood.
** Due to concerns, most Umbaran Force related Academies were private and effort were made to distance previous connections to the former Galactic Empire.

In short, the Overseer Lkaetus formed a private training for Umbaran Force-sensitives. All force training was customised to the individual, only fully emphasised at the final years of training. The skill training was rigorous and rigid taking place every single day with staggered days off for every student. Washouts were almost non-existent because it was invite only and privately owned by Lkaetus. His ability in Force and skill was known only to few.

Ondur's training [from mid four years old] began immediately on athletic and strength. This was right alongside training, from day one, in the Broken Gate martial art. While his Force was developed slowly to his strengths there were greater concerns on training Ondur to be a weapon unto himself even if he were to totally be separated from the Force.

He underwent almost total focus Force wise on Telekinetic and Force Cloaking ability. It was considered complementary as related above. The rest came as needed. The Dark Jedi Brotherhood provided formal training with the Lightsaber and his other Force powers which came much later in his life.

The very last year and ending to his training and life on Umbara is covered in another section.

In closing, here are the numbers at a glance for his training. It is not exhaustive.

*His training with a Lightsaber, Athletics, Endurance, and developing Telekinesis began immediately at four years old. He also learned Sith and Ryl respectively.
** Being born at 18 ABY, this leads to a current number of training the above for ~26 years.
*** The training was done in various ways and adapted with age and circumstances.

This is a simple summary. Not an exhaustive syllabus. Training was not non-stop, in fact after adulthood it was further trained in application. Various wetwork, research and missions were undertaken by dividing students into teams for various cartels. He also traveled to ancient Sith sites for excavation, some for profit and sale, the main ones for transport to Umbara.

== Physical Description ==
Ondur is fairly taller than average than the rest of his species. He is also noticeably more pale and has violet blood vessels scattered along his body. These vessels are most apparent along his neck, arms and face. His gaunt form with his tallness and skin attributes combine for an unusual and rare appearance even among his people. Aside from this, he is hairless, has an almost Marble appearance and "stone" like skin. Though it is for all intents normal Umbaran flesh.

His body is well toned and strongly veined by necessity.

== Raiments and Armor ==
Ondur keeps medium armor formed from materials he can best access.
*He requires that he can keep movement unhindered, and focusing protection on his torso and neck.
***When possible he wears minimal armor, if any, and prefers cloth and offensive-defense.

== Powers and Abilities ==
* Ondur is especially gifted and focused on stealth, both through mundane skill and Force abilities.
** He prizes his abilities of Telekinesis. This is likely due to his first experience using it.
*** He is focused on keeping his body in best form through strength and athletic ability, leaving as little as possible as reliance to Force or fortune.
* Ondur has focused training on athletics and endurance, to allow better serve a combination of his roles.
* Ondur prefers to push his advantages while thinking ahead. His main [[Soresu|Lightsaber]] form demonstrate this.
* His force powers further push his advantages in skills, and isn't afraid to combine several of all to assassinate or finish an opponent.
** He is not so foolish as to face an enemy openly unless he is aware he can win fairly quickly. Especially when multiple opponents are involved. His ability to talk frankly has saved him many times.
* He is a specialist in Korriban's history and culture, ancient Sith language, Empire, and history. Ryl is a language he picked up an interest due to having multiple cultural angles and uses.
** Due to this, he often makes himself available within the Brotherhood as scholar and expert where needed.

== Trivia ==
Ondur spoke the words that became [[The Harbingers]], his Battle Team's, motto: "Our message is carried by the wailing of sorrow", while speaking with [[Decimo Inferni]], [[The Harbingers]] leader at the time.

Despite having no grasp of the implications of who exactly his friend's family happened to be. He seethed while shouting out and pounded his fist at an inner angle. Feeling, entirely in his head, himself slamming his hand forcefully into his supposed friend's lower neck and shoulder.

Though in reality, the child Kylus wrenched at nearly the exact angle and placement with incredible pressure. Blunt force pushing his shoulder and neck harshly down and inward. The crunch of bone and windpipe was heard not just by Ondur but nearby children as well. The death gasps lasted for several minutes while children gathered. Watching Ondur's former friend slowly gasp in vain.
This death was not quick while Ondur enjoyed his moment of victory. Not to mention the dead Kylus' painful last moments.

It would be soon after that Ondur learned quite fully about [[starwars:Umbaran|Umbaran]] society. How its people can twist and shift as fast as his first kill. He would learn hard.. and shortly.
=== Twist of Fate ===
Ondur had run through the halls and courtyards nearby. Weaving through alleys and what most other races would consider gloom. As if chased by some of the worst beasts to be found in the jungle-like woods found outside the cities and settled places through Umbara. He didn't run out of fear, but exhilaration. Ondur craved the feeling and wished it wouldn't fade, though it was already dipping into fear. What felt like years of running finally led him home. He was desperate to proclaim victory to his family.

Ondur found his mother first when he arrived at home. "Mother, where are my brothers?" He was breathing heavily but didn't wait for her response. "I won! I beat him! I protected our honour, your honour Mother!". His two brothers came up from stairs that led underground and up onto the ground floor. Their mother turned to Ondur, while waved the two back downstairs. They quickly returned downstairs. She looked at Ondur with a fierce stare, causing him to doubt his actions a moment, despite the fact that she hadn't even heard what he had to say.

"Son, what in hateful-sun's sake did you do?" Ondur sat and bowed onto the entrance carpet, towards her, a gesture of humility. One of the few ceremonial gesticulations he was aware of. He explained everything, including the exact words Rylus used. His mother sighed, furious. Eons seemed to come and go as she gathered her words. "He.. was... complimenting you.. you foolish.. foolish child...". "Your father would be ashamed if he saw you just now. No. He'd be stupid enough to be proud. Which is why he is gone. He could never understand.. Enough now."

Ondur was soon to find himself pushed in, and locked in, the family's punishment room. A room with a ceiling made of lighting-tile familiar to humans. Though he was Umbaran, and it was the equivalent of a human being tortured with ripped eyelids and strapped down to stare into a sun. Even when he closed his eyes the pain was present and had the sensation of his eyes being peeled atom by atom. The small room was a nightmare to his brothers, though he found himself in there far more often than they.

After a full standard day his mother arrived at the other side of the small rooms door. She pushed a button to activate a holo-com. There was a man with his mother. One he recognised as the father of his now late friend Rylus. "Leave us to speak in private. I need to talk to the boy. Alone." Ondur watched his mother follow the command as if it was an order. It was. "You, boy.." said the man, seething. "I took lawful servitude of your brothers. They will serve me. As will you. However.."

The door opened, automatically shutting the light-tiles down. Ondur was shaking in fear. The man was robed and had an unfamiliar cylinder attached to his waist. One end opened into a small chamber of sorts, while the other side had a button of some kind, terminating the cylinder with triangular shapes attached to a rounded end. As Ondur tried to speak, he felt a firm but light push that kept his mouth shut.

"I have much to tell you." The man pulled to unveil his hood and continued to come closer to the child.

"You have a dark future ahead of you, should you succeed. I am Head Overseer of a special school for you. You begin tomorrow. Your mother will live with me but will not be punished. You will see your brothers working as servants until you finish school. You will be a a special student among a few others your age, they are special tpp." He paused, mocked a smile and choosing his words carefully,

"I adopt you as my own child. In place of my late son, I will take you. You have your mother to thank. Matron Lkaetur had fought to convince me in allowing you to live. At the cost of your family's comfort. Fortunately they are not slaves, or dead. Yet they will rely on your success."

Confusion, anger, exhilaration, fear, a tempest of raw emotions poured into Ondur. Shaking, he stared at the item attached to the Overseer's waist. The attachment cracked, the cylinder fell and flung against the wall, vibrating as it shook against it. Between the unfamiliar object and wall, was the button Ondur noticed. The constant force pushing it to the corner finally pushed it fully inward.

It activated as a beam of deep red light hissed outward as a longer cylinder. The blazing red light sizzled and smoked against the wall, scoring it, then disengaging as the invisible force seemed to end. Ondur spoke, "I.. okay. I will succeed." Soon he would face years of intense training in the darkness.

== Training Summary At Academy ==
*It is important to note that this was before joining the Dark Jedi Brotherhood.
** Due to concerns, most Umbaran Force related Academies were private and effort were made to distance previous connections to the former Galactic Empire.

In short, the Overseer Lkaetus formed a private training for Umbaran Force-sensitives. All force training was customised to the individual, only fully emphasised at the final years of training. The skill training was rigorous and rigid taking place every single day with staggered days off for every student. Washouts were almost non-existent because it was invite only and privately owned by Lkaetus. His ability in Force and skill was known only to few.

Ondur's training [from mid four years old] began immediately on athletic and strength. This was right alongside training, from day one, in the Broken Gate martial art. While his Force was developed slowly to his strengths there were greater concerns on training Ondur to be a weapon unto himself even if he were to totally be separated from the Force.

He underwent almost total focus Force wise on Telekinetic and Force Cloaking ability. It was considered complementary as related above. The rest came as needed. The Dark Jedi Brotherhood provided formal training with the Lightsaber and his other Force powers which came much later in his life.

The very last year and ending to his training and life on Umbara is covered in another section.

In closing, here are the numbers at a glance for his training. It is not exhaustive.

*His training with Broken Gate, Athletics, Strength [Might], and developing Telekinesis/Force Cloak began immediately at four years old.
** Being born at 18 ABY, this leads to a current number of training the above for ~26 years.
*** The training was done in various ways and adapted with age and circumstances.

This is a simple summary. Not an exhaustive syllabus. Training was not non-stop, in fact after adulthood it was further trained in application. Various wetwork and missions were undertaken by dividing students into teams for various Hutt cartels. This led to a great understanding of Huttese custom and learning the language quickly. He still maintains friendly contact and shares the Huttese pursuit of vengeance and their own form of honour.

== Physical Description ==
Ondur is fairly taller than average than the rest of his species. He is also noticeably more pale and has violet blood vessels scattered along his body. These vessels are most apparent along his neck, arms and face. His gaunt form with his tallness and skin attributes combine for an unusual and rare appearance even among his people. Aside from this, he is hairless, has an almost Marble appearance and "stone" like skin. Though it is for all intents normal Umbaran flesh.

His body is well toned and strongly veined by necessity. This is due to his multiple connected roles.

== Raiments and Armor ==
Ondur keeps medium armor formed from materials he can best access.
*He requires that he can keep movement unhindered, and focusing protection on his torso and neck.
***When possible he fills out light armor covering the rest, aside from his face, if it's very flexible.
** In formally honourable combat, hand to hand, he will fight in minimal dark cloth. He sets aside dirty fighting during this.

== Powers and Abilities ==
* Ondur is especially gifted and focused on stealth, both through mundane skill and Force abilities.
** He prizes his abilities of Telekinesis. This is likely due to his first experience using it.
*** He is focused on keeping his body in best form through strength and athletic ability, leaving nothing to fortune.
* Ondur has focused training on athletics and endurance, to allow better serve a combination of his roles.
* Ondur prefers to push his advantages while thinking ahead. His main [[Soresu|Lightsaber]] form demonstrate this.
* His force powers further push his advantages in skills, and isn't afraid to combine several of all to assassinate or finish an opponent.
** He is not so foolish as to face an enemy openly unless he is aware he can win fairly quickly. Especially when multiple opponents are involved. His ability to talk frankly has saved him many times.
* He is a specialist in Korriban's history and culture, ancient Sith language, Empire, and history. Ryl is a language he picked up an interest due to having multiple cultural angles and uses.
** Due to this, he often makes himself available within the Brotherhood as scholar and expert where needed.

== Trivia ==
Ondur spoke the words that became [[The Harbingers]], his Battle Team's, motto: "Our message is carried by the wailing of sorrow", while speaking with [[Decimo Inferni]], [[The Harbingers]] leader at the time.

== Biography ==
=== Early Life ===
'''Ondur''', ''a mononymic'', '''''later adopting a surname''''' was born on [[starwars:Umbara|Umbara]] in 18 ABY to a mid-caste family, in a heavily caste-stratified society, of almost one-hundred castes. Though it's important to note that the timing of his birth, and events just a decade before led to great impact on his early years. Umbara has always been famous for the highly effective [[starwars:Sith Academy (Umbara)|''legendary training Academy for Force sensitives'']]. Known to focus almost solely on developing force sensitive assassins. Almost all were Umbarans or favored individuals trained to serve Emperor Palpatine directly as Force Adepts or Dark Jedi Assassins.

Though this was the height of [[starwars:Umbaran|Umbaran]] favor on a Galactic scale, they were also famous as training "[[Sith]]" [[starwars:Sith assassin|Assassins]] of various kinds throughout history.

However, despite this, the fall of the Emperor sent chaos and fear through the Umbaran species. Large amounts of his species returned to a homeworld where caste and politick alone changed enough of the political landscape. The Galactic power shift brought further blood and guilt in full force to the Umbaran Homeworld.

In short, these events were just settling when Ondur Lkaetur was born. But for Umbara, normal and infighting go hand in hand. It was a few years into his life before he began to learn politick, diplomacy, subterfuge, and his unnatural luck to help further his family in cause and caste. As he grew, he practiced such skills first hand, though early on learned of something far greater that ran sporadic through his family bloodline.

At four years old, a slightly older friend of his, Kylus, made an insult to Ondur's family. Ondur, too young to be aware of his species humour, didn't know how to react. Only that raw emotion and anger came forth in his heart. Ondur was simply unable to hold back his feelings. Despite having no grasp of the implications of who exactly his friend's family happened to be. He seethed while shouting out and pounded his fist at an inner angle. Feeling, entirely in his head, himself slamming his hand forcefully into his supposed friend's lower neck and shoulder.

Though in reality, the child Kylus wrenched at nearly the exact angle and placement with incredible pressure. Blunt force pushing his shoulder and neck harshly down and inward. The crunch of bone and windpipe was heard not just by Ondur but nearby children as well. The death gasps lasted for several minutes while children gathered. Watching Ondur's former friend slowly gasp in vain.
This death was not quick while Ondur enjoyed his moment of victory. Not to mention the dead Kylus' painful last moments.

It would be soon after that Ondur learned quite fully about [[starwars:Umbaran|Umbaran]] society. How its people can twist and shift as fast as his first kill. He would learn hard.. and shortly.
=== Twist of Fate ===
Ondur had run through the halls and courtyards nearby. Weaving through alleys and what most other races would consider gloom. As if chased by some of the worst beasts to be found in the jungle-like woods found outside the cities and settled places through Umbara. He didn't run out of fear, but exhilaration. Ondur craved the feeling and wished it wouldn't fade, though it was already dipping into fear. What felt like years of running finally led him home. He was desperate to proclaim victory to his family.

Ondur found his mother first when he arrived at home. "Mother, where are my brothers?" He was breathing heavily but didn't wait for her response. "I won! I beat him!

Confusion, anger, exhilaration, fear, a tempest of raw emotions poured into Ondur. Shaking, he stared at the item attached to the Overseer's waist.

Ondur was soon to find himself pushed in, and locked in, the family's punishment room. A room with a ceiling made of lighting-tile familiar to humans.

It was. "You, boy.." said the man, seething. "I took lawful servitude of your brothers. They will serve me. As will you. However.."

The door opened, automatically shutting the light-tiles down. Ondur was shaking in fear. The man was robed and had an unfamiliar cylinder attached to his waist. One end opened into a small chamber of sorts, while the other side had a button of some kind, terminating the cylinder with triangular shapes attached to a rounded end. As Ondur tried to speak, he felt a firm but light push that kept his mouth shut.

Confusion, anger, exhilaration, fear, a tempest of raw emotions poured into Ondur. Shaking, he stared at the item attached to the Overseer's waist. The attachment cracked, the cylinder fell and flung against the wall, vibrating as it shook against it. Between the unfamiliar object and wall, was the button Ondur noticed. The constant force pushing it to the corner finally pushed it fully inward.

It activated as a beam of deep red light hissed outward as a longer cylinder. The blazing red light sizzled and smoked against the wall, scoring it, then disengaging as the invisible force seemed to end. Ondur spoke, "I.. okay. I will succeed."

Shii-Cho

2014-08-27T01:17:43Z

Ondur Lkaetur: Added myself 'Ondur' to Adherents.

The oldest and most direct form of [[lightsaber]] combat is [[Shii-Cho]].

==Explanation==
[[File:Shii-Cho.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Shii-Cho]]
Form I is the oldest [[lightsaber]] fighting style and serves as a basis for most of the other forms of lightsaber training. It was the first style developed by the [[starwars:Jedi|Jedi]] with the advent of the energy-bladed weapon. Form I consists of a variety of standard dueling maneuvers that are required before being able to move into the more difficult fighting styles and the basics are exhibited in the First Circle of most of the other forms. Because of this Form I is often the most misunderstood style.

Many people rush to associate the age and simplicity of Form I with weakness when in fact Shii-Cho is one of the most aggressive of the seven Jedi Arts. What Form I lacks in style and artistry it more than makes up in brute force and power. It is because it resembles ordinary sword fighting so closely that Shii-Cho is so easy to learn and, indeed, master, however this is far from a weakness and most masters of Form I will tell how they believe this is its greatest strength. Form I is particularly effective when faced with multiple adversaries at once. In a time when many saberists use excessively over-stylized forms, the deceptive simplicity of Shii-Cho shines through.

This style utilizes relatively basic maneuvers with very little flash. It is the easiest of all styles to start as many of the maneuvers are rather intuitive but true mastery requires dedication and practice. While adherents of other forms tend to knock the Form I styles as clumsy and inelegant they cannot deny its effectiveness in combat, Favoring strength over dexterity and strong strikes over light slashes, Form I is a hard art, preferring strong but sudden attacks, and has no parries, but several blocks.

===Grip===
Shii-Cho utilizes what is called a hammer grip where the hands are kept in direct line with the wrists and forearms. Adherents of Form I typically wield two-handed to maximize their strength.

===Stance===
With legs are slightly wider than the shoulders and slightly bent at the knee face the opponent with the hilt close to the dominant side of the waistband with blade extending up and forward at a reasonable angle as shown.

===Striking===
Keeping the wrist in line with the hand the majority of the Form I power comes from the shoulder and back with the adherent putting all of his weight behind most of the strokes and blocks. This skeletal alignment makes it easier for a student to learn powerful techniques by teaching them to strike with their entire body weight, creating slow but devastatingly powerful strokes.

===Blocking===
By anticipating an opponent's strike the Form I adherent will literally strike into the opponent's blade. This blocking style can sometimes even push back a weaker opponent's strike and place the adherent back into the offense where this style shines.

==Requirements==
Any student who wishes to study Shii-Cho may, but they must have a combined score of 25 in strength and charisma.

==Simplicity==
Many warriors throughout history have been proponents of the simplest path. The almost natural gross motor movements inherent to Shii-Cho's roots lend itself perfectly to battlefield application of this precept.

As one advances through the ranks of Shii-Cho mastery, many of the strikes and blocks develop an artistic simplicity that elude to a different move. Those facing the Shii-Cho master may take these subtle cues as warning, and expect a differing strike, believing that the coming attack is far more convoluted or complicated than the simple devastation that is Shii-Cho's strength.

== Biography ==
=== Early Life ===
'''Ondur''', ''a mononymic'', '''''later adopting a surname''''' was born on [[starwars:Umbara|Umbara]] in 18 ABY to a mid-caste family, in a heavily caste-stratified society, of almost one-hundred castes. Though it's important to note that the timing of his birth, and events just a decade before led to great impact on his early years. Umbara has always been famous for the highly effective [[starwars:Sith Academy (Umbara)|''legendary training Academy for Force sensitives'']]. Known to focus almost solely on developing force sensitive assassins. Almost all were Umbarans or favored individuals trained to serve Emperor Palpatine directly as Force Adepts or Dark Jedi Assassins.

Though this was the height of [[starwars:Umbaran|Umbaran]] favor on a Galactic scale, they were also famous as training "[[Sith]]" [[starwars:Sith assassin|Assassins]] of various kinds throughout history.

However, despite this, the fall of the Emperor sent chaos and fear through the Umbaran species. Large amounts of his species returned to a homeworld where caste and politick alone changed enough of the political landscape. The Galactic power shift brought further blood and guilt in full force to the Umbaran Homeworld.

In short, these events were just settling when Ondur Lkaetur was born. But for Umbara, normal and infighting go hand in hand. It was a few years into his life before he began to learn politick, diplomacy, subterfuge, and his unnatural luck to help further his family in cause and caste. As he grew, he practiced such skills first hand, though early on learned of something far greater that ran sporadic through his family bloodline.

At four years old, a slightly older friend of his, Kylus, made an insult to Ondur's family. Ondur, too young to be aware of his species humour, didn't know how to react. Only that raw emotion and anger came forth in his heart. Ondur was simply unable to hold back his feelings. Despite having no grasp of the implications of who exactly his friend's family happened to be. He seethed while shouting out and pounded his fist at an inner angle. Feeling, entirely in his head, himself slamming his hand forcefully into his supposed friend's lower neck and shoulder.

Though in reality, the child Kylus wrenched at nearly the exact angle and placement with incredible pressure. Blunt force pushing his shoulder and neck harshly down and inward. The crunch of bone and windpipe was heard not just by Ondur but nearby children as well. The death gasps lasted for several minutes while children gathered. Watching Ondur's former friend slowly gasp in vain.
This death was not quick while Ondur enjoyed his moment of victory. Not to mention the dead Kylus' painful last moments.

It would be soon after that Ondur learned quite fully about [[starwars:Umbaran|Umbaran]] society. How its people can twist and shift as fast as his first kill. He would learn hard.. and shortly.
=== Twist of Fate ===
Ondur had run through the halls and courtyards nearby. Weaving through alleys and what most other races would consider gloom. As if chased by some of the worst beasts to be found in the jungle-like woods found outside the cities and settled places through Umbara. He didn't run out of fear, but exhilaration. Ondur craved the feeling and wished it wouldn't fade, though it was already dipping into fear. What felt like years of running finally led him home. He was desperate to proclaim victory to his family.

Ondur found his mother first when he arrived at home. "Mother, where are my brothers?" He was breathing heavily but didn't wait for her response. "I won! I beat him! I protected our honour, your honour Mother!". His two brothers came up from stairs that led underground and up onto the ground floor. Their mother turned to Ondur, while waved the two back downstairs. They quickly returned downstairs. She looked at Ondur with a fierce stare, causing him to doubt his actions a moment, despite the fact that she hadn't even heard what he had to say.

"Son, what in hateful-sun's sake did you do?" Ondur sat and bowed onto the entrance carpet, towards her, a gesture of humility. One of the few ceremonial gesticulations he was aware of. He explained everything, including the exact words Rylus used. His mother sighed, furious. Eons seemed to come and go as she gathered her words. "He.. was... complimenting you.. you foolish.. foolish child...". "Your father would be ashamed if he saw you just now. No. He'd be stupid enough to be proud. Which is why he is gone. He could never understand.. Enough now."

Ondur was soon to find himself pushed in, and locked in, the family's punishment room. A room with a ceiling made of lighting-tile familiar to humans. Though he was Umbaran, and it was the equivalent of a human being tortured with ripped eyelids and strapped down to stare into a sun. Even when he closed his eyes the pain was present and had the sensation of his eyes being peeled atom by atom. The small room was a nightmare to his brothers, though he found himself in there far more often than they.

After a full standard day his mother arrived at the other side of the small rooms door. She pushed a button to activate a holo-com. There was a man with his mother. One he recognised as the father of his now late friend Rylus. "Leave us to speak in private. I need to talk to the boy. Alone." Ondur watched his mother follow the command as if it was an order. It was. "You, boy.." said the man, seething. "I took lawful servitude of your brothers. They will serve me. As will you. However.."

The door opened, automatically shutting the light-tiles down. Ondur was shaking in fear. The man was robed and had an unfamiliar cylinder attached to his waist. One end opened into a small chamber of sorts, while the other side had a button of some kind, terminating the cylinder with triangular shapes attached to a rounded end. As Ondur tried to speak, he felt a firm but light push that kept his mouth shut.

"I have much to tell you." The man pulled to unveil his hood and continued to come closer to the child.

"You have a dark future ahead of you, should you succeed. I am Head Overseer of a special school for you. You begin tomorrow. Your mother will live with me but will not be punished. You will see your brothers working as servants until you finish school. You will be a a special student among a few others your age, they are special tpp." He paused, mocked a smile and choosing his words carefully,

"I adopt you as my own child. In place of my late son, I will take you. You have your mother to thank. Matron Lkaetur had fought to convince me in allowing you to live. At the cost of your family's comfort. Fortunately they are not slaves, or dead. Yet they will rely on your success."

Confusion, anger, exhilaration, fear, a tempest of raw emotions poured into Ondur. Shaking, he stared at the item attached to the Overseer's waist. The attachment cracked, the cylinder fell and flung against the wall, vibrating as it shook against it. Between the unfamiliar object and wall, was the button Ondur noticed. The constant force pushing it to the corner finally pushed it fully inward.

It activated as a beam of deep red light hissed outward as a longer cylinder. The blazing red light sizzled and smoked against the wall, scoring it, then disengaging as the invisible force seemed to end. Ondur spoke, "I.. okay. I will succeed." Soon he would face years of intense training in the darkness.

== Training Summary At Academy ==
*It is important to note that this was before joining the Dark Jedi Brotherhood.
** Due to concerns, most Umbaran Force related Academies were private and effort were made to distance previous connections to the former Galactic Empire.

In short, the Overseer Lkaetus formed a private training for Umbaran Force-sensitives. All force training was customised to the individual, only fully emphasised at the final years of training. The skill training was rigorous and rigid taking place every single day with staggered days off for every student. Washouts were almost non-existent because it was invite only and privately owned by Lkaetus. His ability in Force and skill was known only to few.

Ondur's training [from mid four years old] began immediately on athletic and strength. This was right alongside training, from day one, in the Broken Gate martial art. While his Force was developed slowly to his strengths there were greater concerns on training Ondur to be a weapon unto himself even if he were to totally be separated from the Force.

He underwent almost total focus Force wise on Telekinetic and Force Cloaking ability. It was considered complementary as related above. The rest came as needed. The Dark Jedi Brotherhood provided formal training with the Lightsaber and his other Force powers which came much later in his life.

*** The training was done in various ways and adapted with age and circumstances.

This is a simple summary. Not an exhaustive syllabus. Training was not non-stop, in fact after adulthood it was further trained in application. Various wetwork and missions were undertaken by dividing students into teams for various Hutt cartels. This led to a great understanding of Huttese custom and learning the language quickly. He still maintains friendly contact and shares the Huttese pursuit of vengeance and their own form of honour.

== Physical Description ==
Ondur is fairly taller than average than the rest of his species. He is also noticeably more pale and has violet blood vessels scattered along his body. These vessels are most apparent along his neck, arms and face. His gaunt form with his tallness and skin attributes combine for an unusual and rare appearance even among his people. Aside from this, he is hairless, has an almost Marble appearance and "stone" like skin. Though it is for all intents normal Umbaran flesh.

== Biography ==
=== Early Life ===
'''Ondur''', ''a mononymic'', '''''later adopting a surname''''' was born on [[starwars:Umbara|Umbara]] in 18 ABY to a mid-caste family, in a heavily caste-stratified society, of almost one-hundred castes. Though it's important to note that the timing of his birth, and events just a decade before led to great impact on his early years. Umbara has always been famous for the highly effective [[starwars:Sith Academy (Umbara)|''legendary training Academy for Force sensitives'']]. Known to focus almost solely on developing force sensitive assassins. Almost all were Umbarans or favored individuals trained to serve Emperor Palpatine directly as Force Adepts or Dark Jedi Assassins.

Though this was the height of [[starwars:Umbaran|Umbaran]] favor on a Galactic scale, they were also famous as training "[[Sith]]" [[starwars:Sith assassin|Assassins]] of various kinds throughout history.

However, despite this, the fall of the Emperor sent chaos and fear through the Umbaran species. Large amounts of his species returned to a homeworld where caste and politick alone changed enough of the political landscape. The Galactic power shift brought further blood and guilt in full force to the Umbaran Homeworld.

In short, these events were just settling when Ondur Lkaetur was born. But for Umbara, normal and infighting go hand in hand. It was a few years into his life before he began to learn politick, diplomacy, subterfuge, and his unnatural luck to help further his family in cause and caste. As he grew, he practiced such skills first hand, though early on learned of something far greater that ran sporadic through his family bloodline.

At four years old, a slightly older friend of his, Kylus, made an insult to Ondur's family. Ondur, too young to be aware of his species humour, didn't know how to react. Only that raw emotion and anger came forth in his heart. Ondur was simply unable to hold back his feelings. Despite having no grasp of the implications of who exactly his friend's family happened to be. He seethed while shouting out and pounded his fist at an inner angle. Feeling, entirely in his head, himself slamming his hand forcefully into his supposed friend's lower neck and shoulder.

Though in reality, the child Kylus wrenched at nearly the exact angle and placement with incredible pressure. Blunt force pushing his shoulder and neck harshly down and inward. The crunch of bone and windpipe was heard not just by Ondur but nearby children as well. The death gasps lasted for several minutes while children gathered. Watching Ondur's former friend slowly gasp in vain.
This death was not quick while Ondur enjoyed his moment of victory. Not to mention the dead Kylus' painful last moments.

It would be soon after that Ondur learned quite fully about [[starwars:Umbaran|Umbaran]] society. How its people can twist and shift as fast as his first kill. He would learn hard.. and shortly.
=== Twist of Fate ===
Ondur had run through the halls and courtyards nearby. Weaving through alleys and what most other races would consider gloom. As if chased by some of the worst beasts to be found in the jungle-like woods found outside the cities and settled places through Umbara. He didn't run out of fear, but exhilaration. Ondur craved the feeling and wished it wouldn't fade, though it was already dipping into fear. What felt like years of running finally led him home. He was desperate to proclaim victory to his family.

Ondur found his mother first when he arrived at home. "Mother, where are my brothers?" He was breathing heavily but didn't wait for her response. "I won! I beat him! I protected our honour, your honour Mother!". His two brothers came up from stairs that led underground and up onto the ground floor. Their mother turned to Ondur, while waved the two back downstairs. They quickly returned downstairs. She looked at Ondur with a fierce stare, causing him to doubt his actions a moment, despite the fact that she hadn't even heard what he had to say.

"Son, what in hateful-sun's sake did you do?" Ondur sat and bowed onto the entrance carpet, towards her, a gesture of humility. One of the few ceremonial gesticulations he was aware of. He explained everything, including the exact words Rylus used. His mother sighed, furious. Eons seemed to come and go as she gathered her words. "He.. was... complimenting you.. you foolish.. foolish child...". "Your father would be ashamed if he saw you just now. No. He'd be stupid enough to be proud. Which is why he is gone. He could never understand.. Enough now."

Ondur was soon to find himself pushed in, and locked in, the family's punishment room. A room with a ceiling made of lighting-tile familiar to humans. Though he was Umbaran, and it was the equivalent of a human being tortured with ripped eyelids and strapped down to stare into a sun. Even when he closed his eyes the pain was present and had the sensation of his eyes being peeled atom by atom. The small room was a nightmare to his brothers, though he found himself in there far more often than they.

After a full standard day his mother arrived at the other side of the small rooms door. She pushed a button to activate a holo-com. There was a man with his mother. One he recognised as the father of his now late friend Rylus. "Leave us to speak in private. I need to talk to the boy. Alone." Ondur watched his mother follow the command as if it was an order. It was. "You, boy.." said the man, seething. "I took lawful servitude of your brothers. They will serve me. As will you. However.."

The door opened, automatically shutting the light-tiles down. Ondur was shaking in fear. The man was robed and had an unfamiliar cylinder attached to his waist. One end opened into a small chamber of sorts, while the other side had a button of some kind, terminating the cylinder with triangular shapes attached to a rounded end. As Ondur tried to speak, he felt a firm but light push that kept his mouth shut.

"I have much to tell you." The man pulled to unveil his hood and continued to come closer to the child.

"You have a dark future ahead of you, should you succeed. I am Head Overseer of a special school for you. You begin tomorrow. Your mother will live with me but will not be punished. You will see your brothers working as servants until you finish school. You will be a a special student among a few others your age, they are special tpp." He paused, mocked a smile and choosing his words carefully,

"I adopt you as my own child. In place of my late son, I will take you. You have your mother to thank. Matron Lkaetur had fought to convince me in allowing you to live. At the cost of your family's comfort. Fortunately they are not slaves, or dead. Yet they will rely on your success."

Confusion, anger, exhilaration, fear, a tempest of raw emotions poured into Ondur. Shaking, he stared at the item attached to the Overseer's waist. The attachment cracked, the cylinder fell and flung against the wall, vibrating as it shook against it. Between the unfamiliar object and wall, was the button Ondur noticed. The constant force pushing it to the corner finally pushed it fully inward.

It activated as a beam of deep red light hissed outward as a longer cylinder. The blazing red light sizzled and smoked against the wall, scoring it, then disengaging as the invisible force seemed to end. Ondur spoke, "I.. okay. I will succeed." Soon he would face years of intense training in the darkness.

== Training Summary At Academy ==
*It is important to note that this was before joining the Dark Jedi Brotherhood.
** Due to concerns, most Umbaran Force related Academies were private and effort were made to distance previous connections to the former Galactic Empire.

In short, the Overseer Lkaetus formed a private training for Umbaran Force-sensitives. All force training was customised to the individual, only fully emphasised at the final years of training. The skill training was rigorous and rigid taking place every single day with staggered days off for every student. Washouts were almost non-existent because it was invite only and privately owned by Lkaetus. His ability in Force and skill was known only to few.

Ondur's training [from mid four years old] began immediately on athletic and strength. This was right alongside training, from day one, in the Broken Gate martial art. While his Force was developed slowly to his strengths there were greater concerns on training Ondur to be a weapon unto himself even if he were to totally be separated from the Force.

He underwent almost total focus Force wise on Telekinetic and Force Cloaking ability. It was considered complementary as related above. The rest came as needed. The Dark Jedi Brotherhood provided formal training with the Lightsaber and his other Force powers which came much later in his life.

== Physical Description ==
Ondur is fairly taller than average than the rest of his species. He is also noticeably more pale and has violet blood vessels scattered along his body. These vessels are most apparent along his neck, arms and face. His gaunt form with his tallness and skin attributes combine for an unusual and rare appearance even among his people. Aside from this, he is hairless, has an almost Marble appearance and "stone" like skin. Though it is for all intents normal Umbaran flesh.

His body is well toned and strongly veined by necessity. This is due to his multiple connected roles.

== Raiments and Armor ==
Ondur keeps medium armor formed from materials he can best access.
*He requires that he can keep movement unhindered, and focusing protection on his torso and neck.
***When possible he fills out light armor covering the rest, aside from his face, if it's very flexible.

*** He is focused on keeping his body in best form through strength and athletic ability, leaving nothing to fortune.
* Ondur has focused training on athletic and strength, to allow better serve a combination of his roles.

The crunch of bone and windpipe was heard not just by Ondur but nearby children as well. The death gasps lasted for several minutes while children gathered. Watching Ondur's former friend slowly gasp in vain.
This death was not quick while Ondur enjoyed his moment of victory. Not to mention the dead Kylus' painful last moments.

It would be soon after that Ondur learned quite fully about [[starwars:Umbaran|Umbaran]] society. How its people can twist and shift as fast as his first kill. He would learn hard.. and shortly.
=== Twist of Fate ===
Ondur had run through the halls and courtyards nearby. Weaving through alleys and what most other races would consider gloom. As if chased by some of the worst beasts to be found in the jungle-like woods found outside the cities and settled places through Umbara. He didn't run out of fear, but exhilaration. Ondur craved the feeling and wished it wouldn't fade, though it was already dipping into fear. What felt like years of running finally led him home. He was desperate to proclaim victory to his family.

Ondur found his mother first when he arrived at home. "Mother, where are my brothers?" He was breathing heavily but didn't wait for her response. "I won! I beat him! I protected our honour, your honour Mother!". His two brothers came up from stairs that led underground and up onto the ground floor. Their mother turned to Ondur, while waved the two back downstairs. They quickly returned downstairs. She looked at Ondur with a fierce stare, causing him to doubt his actions a moment, despite the fact that she hadn't even heard what he had to say.

"Son, what in hateful-sun's sake did you do?" Ondur sat and bowed onto the entrance carpet, towards her, a gesture of humility. One of the few ceremonial gesticulations he was aware of. He explained everything, including the exact words Rylus used. His mother sighed, furious. Eons seemed to come and go as she gathered her words. "He.. was... complimenting you.. you foolish.. foolish child...". "Your father would be ashamed if he saw you just now. No. He'd be stupid enough to be proud. Which is why he is gone. He could never understand.. Enough now."

Ondur was soon to find himself pushed in, and locked in, the family's punishment room. A room with a ceiling made of lighting-tile familiar to humans. Though he was Umbaran, and it was the equivalent of a human being tortured with ripped eyelids and strapped down to stare into a sun. Even when he closed his eyes the pain was present and had the sensation of his eyes being peeled atom by atom. The small room was a nightmare to his brothers, though he found himself in there far more often than they.

After a full standard day his mother arrived at the other side of the small rooms door. She pushed a button to activate a holo-com. There was a man with his mother. One he recognised as the father of his now late friend Rylus. "Leave us to speak in private. I need to talk to the boy. Alone." Ondur watched his mother follow the command as if it was an order. It was. "You, boy.." said the man, seething. "I took lawful servitude of your brothers. They will serve me. As will you. However.."

The door opened, automatically shutting the light-tiles down. Ondur was shaking in fear. The man was robed and had an unfamiliar cylinder attached to his waist. One end opened into a small chamber of sorts, while the other side had a button of some kind, terminating the cylinder with triangular shapes attached to a rounded end. As Ondur tried to speak, he felt a firm but light push that kept his mouth shut.

"I have much to tell you." The man pulled to unveil his hood and continued to come closer to the child.

"You have a dark future ahead of you, should you succeed. I am Head Overseer of a special school for you. You begin tomorrow. Your mother will live with me but will not be punished. You will see your brothers working as servants until you finish school. You will be a a special student among a few others your age, they are special tpp." He paused, mocked a smile and choosing his words carefully,

"I adopt you as my own child. In place of my late son, I will take you. You have your mother to thank. Matron Lkaetur had fought to convince me in allowing you to live. At the cost of your family's comfort. Fortunately they are not slaves, or dead. Yet they will rely on your success."

Confusion, anger, exhilaration, fear, a tempest of raw emotions poured into Ondur. Shaking, he stared at the item attached to the Overseer's waist. The attachment cracked, the cylinder fell and flung against the wall, vibrating as it shook against it. Between the unfamiliar object and wall, was the button Ondur noticed. The constant force pushing it to the corner finally pushed it fully inward.

It activated as a beam of deep red light hissed outward as a longer cylinder. The blazing red light sizzled and smoked against the wall, scoring it, then disengaging as the invisible force seemed to end. Ondur spoke, "I.. okay. I will succeed." Soon he would face years of intense training in the darkness.

== Physical Description ==
Ondur is fairly taller than average than the rest of his species. He is also noticeably more pale and has violet blood vessels scattered along his body. These vessels are most apparent along his neck, arms and face. His gaunt form with his tallness and skin attributes combine for an unusual and rare appearance even among his people. Aside from this, he is hairless, has an almost Marble appearance and "stone" face.

His body is well toned and strongly veined by necessity. This is due to his multiple connected roles.

== Raiments and Armor ==
Ondur keeps medium armor formed from materials he can best access.

== Powers and Abilities ==
* Ondur is especially gifted and focused on stealth, both through mundane skill and Force abilities.
** He prizes his abilities of Telekinesis. This is likely due to his first experience using it.
*** He is focused on keeping his body in best form through strength and athletic ability, leaving nothing to fortune.
* Ondur has focused training on athletic and strength, to allow better serve a combination of his roles.
* Ondur prefers to push his advantages while thinking ahead. His main [[Shii-Cho|Lightsaber]] and [[Broken Gate|Hand to Hand forms]] demonstrate this.
* His force powers further push his advantages in skills, and isn't afraid to combine several of all to assassinate or finish an opponent.
** He is not so foolish as to face an enemy openly unless he is aware he can win fairly quick. Especially when multiple opponents are involved. His ability to talk frankly has saved him many times.
* He is a specialist in Huttesse and the Hutts' complex custom, cultural niche, and general way of thinking.
** Due to this, he often makes himself available within the Brotherhood as a liason. Gaining information or material or anything as required.

== Trivia ==
Ondur spoke the words that became [[The Harbingers]], his Battle Team's, motto: "Our message is carried by the wailing of sorrow", while speaking with [[Decimo Inferni]], [[The Harbingers]] leader at the time.

* His [[Keirdagh Taldrya Cantor|Master]] once disapproved of Ondur's lack of [[Keirdagh Taldrya Cantor|beardedness]].
* Ondur, once used meditation and Force body control for a few weeks in isolation to grow a beard.
** The disastrous result was slowly removed, destroyed, and both swore to never broach the subject ever again.

== Biography ==
=== Early Life ===
[[Ondur Lkaetur]] was born on [[starwars:Umbara|Umbara]] in 18 ABY to a mid-caste family, in a heavily caste-stratified society, of almost one-hundred castes. Though it's important to note that the timing of his birth, and events just a decade before led to great impact on his early years. Umbara has always been famous for the highly effective [[starwars:Sith Academy (Umbara)|legendary training Academy for Force sensitives]]. Known to focus almost solely on developing force sensitive assassins. Almost all were Umbarans or favored individuals trained to serve Emperor Palpatine directly as Force Adepts or Dark Jedi Assassins.

Though this was the height of [[starwars:Umbaran|Umbaran]] favor on a Galactic scale, they were also famous as training "[[Sith]]" [[starwars:Sith assassin|Assassins]] of various kinds throughout history.

However, despite this, the fall of the Emperor sent chaos and fear through the Umbaran species. Large amounts of his species returned to a homeworld where caste and politick alone changed enough of the political landscape. The Galactic power shift brought further blood and guilt in full force to the Umbaran Homeworld.

In short, these events were just settling when Ondur Lkaetur was born. But for Umbara, normal and infighting go hand in hand. It was a few years into his life before he began to learn politick, diplomacy, subterfuge, and his unnatural luck to help further his family in cause and caste. As he grew, he practiced such skills first hand, though early on learned of something far greater that ran sporadic through his family bloodline.

At four years old, a slightly older friend of his, Kylus, made an insult to Ondur's family. Ondur, too young to be aware of his species humour, didn't know how to react. Only that raw emotion and anger came forth in his heart. Ondur was simply unable to hold back his feelings. Despite having no grasp of the implications of who exactly his friend's family happened to be. He seethed while shouting out and pounded his fist at an inner angle. Feeling, entirely in his head, himself slamming his hand forcefully into his supposed friend's lower neck and shoulder.

Though in reality, the child Kylus wrenched at nearly the exact angle and placement with incredible pressure. Blunt force pushing his shoulder and neck harshly down and inward. The crunch of bone and windpipe was heard not just by Ondur but nearby children as well. The death gasps lasted for several minutes while children gathered.

{{Quote|Our message is carried by the wailing of sorrow.|Harbingers motto}}

[[The Harbingers]] are a multipurpose battleteam in [[House Dinaari]] of [[Clan Taldryan]]. Formed during the [[Dark Crusade]] to fill some key gaps (expand on what gaps and why they needed to be filled), the Harbingers are the unsung heroes operating in the shadows. (Detail who created the team--Kaz--and bring up the resurrection of Dinaari.

[[The Harbingers]] are currently led by Dark Jedi Knight [[Decimo Inferni]].

==History==
[[Image:Kazmir_Natas.jpg|left|thumb|[[Kazmir Natas]], Founder of Harbingers]]

To expand on history, break it down into various parts:
* Creation/Planning (someone came up with the idea. What is the backstory there? Kaz going to Rian/Yacks with a proposal to expand on the Clan's need for an elite, covert unit to match the increased reliance on intelligence information during the Dark Crusades.
* Actually setting up the team and its first members. Since it's a new BT, celebrate the first leader chosen and the first handful of members (think the first X-Men team or something)
* If they haven't had any action yet, just prep for a historical account of what will happen in Crusades 2.0 (just a heading for now, leave it unfinished).

Despite Taldryan boasting one of the largest and most effective intelligence networks this side of the Galaxy, sometimes Military Intelligence just is sub-par. A fact that during the Crusade versus the One Sith became blatantly obvious. For this reason the Harbingers were assembled and trained to handle sensitive covert operations that would be near impossible or suicidal for standard military operatives.

Another key aspect of the unit is its multi-functionality and heavy training in all aspects of combat. Once again, despite Taldryan's impressive fleet and military, Force-assisted pilots were a missing component in frequent bouts for space supremacy. (This is not history, but more of an explanation behind what the team is.)

==Role==
[[The Harbingers]] are a natural counterpart to the [[Wardens]] (, a BT in Dinaari's sister House of Ektrosis -- never assume the reader knows all these things). Where the Wardens frequently see use as a form of guardian unit for Taldryan and its dominion, the Harbingers serve as the cloak and dagger - quelling threats through immoral means. (expand on what type of threats and what type of means.)

Multi-faceted and highly trained. (expand on the type of training they do. physical, mental, Force, piloting, etc. How often they do it. Where. Who they train with (other members of the Clan? TalEx?)

The Harbingers may see use as a Force-enhanced flight squadron, an intelligence network, a death squad, or even secret police. (each of these can be expanded on a bit. Say when and why they would be used for each. When does Tal need an elite flight squadron? Why would we pick harbingers to play the role?)

Due to the sensitive nature of their work, the identities of individual members are kept highly secret.

==Headquarters==
The Harbingers have no set headquarters. A multitude of planetary safe houses and hidden compartments on fleet ships serve as briefing rooms and armories. (To expand on this, maybe describe what makes an ideal safehouse location, or what kind of things are stored in a safehouse and how it helps members complete missions--credits, weapons, ammunition, etc. What type of buildings do we use? Maybe how they're funded through secret, backdoor channels of the Karufr government or something)

==Training==
Early on in the Crusade, the Harbingers were trained by veteran pilots to make up the gap left by the old Hyperion Flight. Their Force-enhanced spatial awareness and reflexes giving the Harbingers an added edge during dogfights.

Their covert training was supplied by hired help working in conjunction with an unnamed Taldryanite. (Again, expand on the training. What it entails.)

==Equipment==
Despite their military role, the Harbingers work separate from the Taldryan forces. They are something bigger, something better.

This allows the unit to tap into military resources as they see fit. Given the jurisdiction by the summit, the Harbingers can lay claim to any equipment within their proximity. An example of this is commandeering a squadron of X-wings without the express given consent of the onboard ship officers. (fact check that with Rian/Yacks? Also, detail their personal equipment. Members of the team would still have certain equipment on their persons by default. Whether it's a type of pistol, or body armor, or whatever.

== Biography ==
Ondur Lkaetur was born on [[starwars:Umbara|Umbara]] in 18 ABY to a mid-caste family, in a heavily caste-stratified society, of almost one-hundred castes. Though it's important to note that the timing of his birth, and events just a decade before led to great impact on his early years. Umbara has always been famous for the highly effective [[starwars:Sith Academy (Umbara)|legendary training Academy for Force sensitives]]. Known to focus almost solely on developing force sensitive assassins. Almost all were Umbarans or favored individuals trained to serve Emperor Palpatine directly as Force Adepts or Dark Jedi Assassins.

Though this was the height of [[starwars:Umbaran|Umbaran]] favor on a Galactic scale, they were also famous as training "[[Sith]]" [[starwars:Sith assassin|Assassins]] of various kinds throughout history.

However, despite this, the fall of the Emperor sent chaos and fear through the Umbaran species. Large amounts of his species returned to a homeworld where caste and politick alone changed enough of the political landscape. The Galactic power shift brought further blood and guilt in full force to the Umbaran Homeworld.

In short, these events were just settling when Ondur Lkaetur was born. But for Umbara, normal and infighting go hand in hand. It was a few years into his life before he began to learn politick, diplomacy, subterfuge, and his unnatural luck to help further his family in cause and caste. As he grew, he practiced such skills first hand, though early on learned of something far greater that ran sporadic through his family bloodline.

At four years old, a slightly older friend of his, Kylus, made an insult to Ondur's family. Ondur, too young to be aware of his species humour, didn't know how to react. Only that raw emotion and anger came forth in his heart. Ondur was simply unable to hold back his feelings. Despite having no grasp of the implications of who exactly his friend's family happened to be. He seethed while shouting out and pounded his fist at an inner angle. Feeling, entirely in his head, himself slamming his hand forcefully into his supposed friend's lower neck and shoulder.

Though in reality, the child Kylus wrenched at nearly the exact angle and placement with incredible pressure. Blunt force pushing his shoulder and neck harshly down and inward. The crunch of bone and windpipe was heard not just by Ondur but nearby children as well. The death gasps lasted for several minutes while children gathered. Watching Ondur's former friend slowly gasp in vain.
This death was not quick while Ondur enjoyed his moment of victory. Not to mention the dead Kylus' painful last moments.

It would be soon after that Ondur learned quite fully about [[starwars:Umbaran|Umbaran]] society. How its people can twist and shift as fast as his first kill. He would learn hard.. and shortly.

== Trivia ==
Ondur spoke the words that became [[The Harbingers]], his Battle Team, motto. "Our message is carried by the wailing of sorrow." While speaking with [[Decimo Inferni]], [[The Harbingers]] leader at the time.

Ondur Lkaetur was born in 18 ABY to a mid-caste family in a well stratified society of almost one-hundred castes.
