== Brief History ==
Born in NH to a Navy family. I moved around a lot.

=== High School ===
My high school years were spent at a small school in Coolidge, AZ where I worked hard, played harder, and graduated at the ripe 'ole age of 16.

=== Plymouth State University ===
After graduation, I moved out to Plymouth, NH - worked for a year to gain residency - then started college full time. I graduated 4 years later with a BS in Applied Computer Science.

=== Professional ===
I stayed at Plymouth State University. After graduation I was hired on at the IT department as a Web Application Engineer (PHP, MySQL, Oracle, PL/SQL, JavaScript, etc) and teach the occasional College course here and there.

In 2012, I left my position as Lead Developer at PSU to join [http://gigaom.com Gigaom] as a Software Engineer.

In 2015, Gigaom shut down and I started working at [https://tri.be Modern Tribe] and the Lead Products Engineer. Time moved forward and I became the Head of Products Engineering for that company.

In 2021, the product that I oversaw in Modern Tribe was sold to Liquid Web and I went with it. I became the Senior Director of Engineering for that company's product arm (StellarWP) and now oversee 7+ product brands and an army of engineers.

== Miscellaneous ==
I'm the Senior Director of Engineering at a company. I'm a software engineer and systems architect. I draw. I do karate. I hike. I kayak. I like bacon. I play Minecraft.

{{Quote|Bork, bork, bork|Orv Dessrx d'Tana}}

'''Deceased'''

Bred into a life of politics, Orv Dessrx was exposed to manipulation and deceit at an early age. His affinity with the Force became a tool that gave the [[starwars:Teltior|Teltior]] a foothold into power. Power and influence is an addictive drug that eventually led Orv to the Dark Jedi Brotherhood, yet another tool to fulfill his thirst for power.
== Character History ==

=== It All Begins (5 BBY-16 ABY) ===
[[File:Merisee.jpg|thumb|150px|left|Orv's Home Planet]]
Orv Dessrx led a fairly mundane childhood as the son of a Merisee Ambassador to the New Imperial Senate - and assistant to the Merisee Senator. At the age of 18, Orv became the Clerk and Assistant Ambassador of his father, Godec Dessrx. Following in his father's footsteps and turning towards politics was to set the stage for the rest of Orv's life. At 18, his position - an assistant of an assistant of a senator - was meager, but a step in the right direction.

=== Political Maneuvers (17 ABY-25 ABY) ===

==== Merisee Ambassador ====
[[11 ABY to 19 ABY|17 ABY - 19 ABY]]

At the age of 22 Standard Years, Orv's father and mother died in a tragic speeder accident thus leaving Merisee's Ambassador position vacant. A number of politicians vied for the position, yet it was not just Orv's family ties and familiarity with the position that landed him the job as Ambassador of Merisee to the [[Emperor's Hammer]] Imperial Senate...the Teltior had a natural ability to sift through data and dig up 'dirt' on his opponents. That 'dirt' played a ''large'' part in his campaign. Within months, Orv held his father's office and began preparations for his next political move.

[[File:Orv.jpg|thumb|246px|right|Orv Dessrx, Chancellor of the Imperial Senate]]

==== Imperial Senate ====

[[20 ABY to 25 ABY|20 ABY - 21 ABY]]

Senator Yig Vesathi - the [[starwars:Meri|Meris]] that held the position of Merisee Imperial Senator - was aging and slowly losing favor with the Senate and his home planet, Merisee. Orv was there to advise and coerce Yig into actions that would lead to his eventual downfall. Who was there to pick up the pieces? Why, Merisee's own Teltior prodigy...Orv Dessrx. After winning a landslide victory in the Senatorial election, Orv - at merely the age of 25 - became the youngest senator elect in Merisee's history.

==== Minister of Communication ====

[[20 ABY to 25 ABY|22 ABY - 23 ABY]]

Orv - now living a Senator's life - was too ambitious to sit idle. He made quick use of his knowledge of communication technologies and his uncanny knack for acquiring - however seedy - information on any topic. He joined a communications committee and soon acquired the rank of Minister of Communications for the New Imperial Senate within 2 years. With this new state of office, Orv still thirsted for influence and power. His eyes were on the Chancellor's seat.

==== Chancellorship ====

[[20 ABY to 25 ABY|24 ABY]]

After 2 years as the Minister of Communications, various bits of information floated to the surface from "unknown" sources that eventually led to the retirement of the Chancellor of the New Imperial Senate. There was a race for such a coveted position, yet Orv's reach was too broad for the other candidates to overcome. Within a month, Orv Dessrx sat at the head of the Senate...Oh his father would be proud.

==== Prompt Retirement ====

[[20 ABY to 25 ABY|25 ABY]]

Soon, however, whispers began to circulate of Orv's push for the Chancellor seat and after some confrontation and bad media - rather than losing all his political pull, he stepped down as Chancellor and disappeared for a year...but kept his network of intelligence active.

It was during that time that he was approached by [[Mejas Doto]] regarding the Dark Brotherhood and all it had to offer...The influence...the power...

=== Dark Jedi Brotherhood (26 ABY - 28 ABY) ===
[[File:Orv saber.jpg|thumb|250px|right|Orv with Lightsaber]] Too much to resist, Orv has found himself devoting his time to the Dark Brotherhood. While he desires to further the goals of the Brotherhood, Orv has his own agenda and plans to increase his foothold in the galaxy at large. Ambition is a beautiful thing.
Orv Dessrx is hesitant with this direction in life...joining the Dark Brotherhood is a more obvious grasp at power, thus he tends to be on edge with his contacts within the Brotherhood. His primary motive for joining the Dark Brotherhood is merely for personal gain - to make use of the vast influence the Brotherhood possesses, thus increasing his wealth, influence, and power.

Sure enough, Orv's participation in the Brotherhood expanded his reach and the organization soon learned of the Teltior's exceptional abilities in many areas. The d'Tana family, a crime family originating from Arcona saw this and sought his admittance.

=== Admittance into the d'Tana Family (28 ABY) ===
Orv Dessrx was brought into the d'Tana family due to his ruthless subtlety rather than outward displays of physical prowess or brutal martial skills. In an effort to expand his political connections from within his newly adopted home in Clan Arcona, the Teltior began observing the associations that House Galeres had with its criminal organization contacts. Playing his political card, Orv squeezed friendships out of ranking members of various organizations and slowly began his bid for power. Using his newfound friendships and carefully planted incriminating, conflict-inducing information, Orv stood as the sole politician that seemed to have a resolution for everything. As he sorted out the 'issues,' the number of sources for information exploded. He had found his foothold.

The d'Tana family - built of experienced Force-Sensitive individuals - took notice and wanted the contacts as their own. What better way way than to expand their ranks and bring him into the fold? When approached, Orv Dessrx saw the family as an ample way to expand his informant pool by adding the d'Tana's contacts to his own...what else could he do but accept?

Gaining the trust of the d'Tana family is no easy task, however, and it came at a price to the new recruit. After taking his vows and pledging loyalty to the family, Etah d'Tana approached the Teltior with his first task as a d'Tana. Orv's contacts ran rampant in the Ysett Guild, a smuggling group that had crossed paths with the d'Tana's operations more than their fair share. The most recent cross had effected d'Tana in a bad way, causing the loss of 152,000 credits worth of the family's illicit goods and Orv was poised to make Ysett pay the piper.

To one who values information and influence above all else, to lose 5 highly informative contacts is a blow not to be taken lightly. In setting Ysett up for destruction, Orv Dessrx would lose nearly a dozen. Feeling hollow inside, Orv made the transmissions necessary...a meeting required here, a drop here, an illicit pick-up there. Eighteen locations, each with d'Tana-bought mercenaries in waiting. Ysett Guild fell. Orv's resources dwindled. d'Tana conquered.

Orv was in.

=== Yuuzhan Vong War (29 ABY) ===
Now a growing power within the Brotherhood, Orv Dessrx's mental fortitude and physical endurance were put to the test when the Dark Jedi Brotherhood met face to face with the expanding forces of the Yuuzhan Vong. Rallying Arconan troops in his position as Aedile of House Qel-Droma - the Dark Jedi met the onslaught full force. The battle was long and Orv's mettle was tested. Despite a number of run-ins with the Vong, Orv's own mastery of Soresu kept him alive.

The Vong were too many and after many had fallen, the Arconan Dark Jedi were forced to flee their system. The loss of the system meant more to Orv than a lost home...his resources and contacts were disrupted as well. Information was Orv's lifeblood...without it, his power and influence was sure to wane.

Seeking to maintain his sources, Orv gave up the mantle of Aedile and retreated into the shadows.

=== The Dark Council (30 ABY) ===
[[File:Orv seneschal.jpg|thumb|150px|right|Dark Council Garb]]Nearly a year later, Orv resurfaced. Arcona was quick to latch on to the returning resource and promptly thrust him into a leadership position with Arcona's House Galeres. In that position, Orv once again thrived...this time the Dark Council took note.

After a brief tenure as Aedile, the ex-Senator Teltior was approached by Darth Sarin himself with an offer of power. A seat on the Dark Council as Seneschal.

Orv - despite his loyalty to his clan - could not pass up the influence and power such a position would grant him. Within a week, he left the Galeres flagship and joined the DC.

=== Death (37 ABY) ===

Orv [https://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/news/20391 died] at the hands of [[Esoteric]]

== Character Information ==

=== Appearance ===
[[File:Orv head shot.jpg|thumb|200px|left|Orv Dessrx d'Tana]] Orv Dessrx is approximately 1.8 meters in height, of athletic build and keeps what hair grows on his head completely shaven. As with most Teltior, his skin is chalky-white and eyes a deep black. He dresses in fashionable Merisee clothing and prefers pants/shirt over robes if possible.

=== Gear ===

=== Impediments ===
Orv's biggest impediment is his over-eagerness to succeed and gain influence. While this is often a display of strength, his steadfast determination to grasp at power causes bitterness and distrust in peers.

=== Allergies ===
Orv is moderately allergic to Bantha fur. He avoids these beasts at all costs lest he breaks out in purple hives and goes into sneezing fits.

}}Baxir Vol is a bitter old [[starwars:Khil|Khil]] who studied for 15 years under the tutelage of the Old Republic's Jedi Academy. The only thing to rival his lust for knowledge of the Force is his ambition and desire to influence others in power. This Dark Council member rose to his status by being a catalyst in the downfall of his Master, [[Orv Dessrx]].

== Character History ==

=== Order 66 ===

Born in 35 BBY, Baxir Vol was handed over to the Jedi Order during his infancy like many of his Force Sensitive peers. The Khil youngling trained at the Jedi Training Facility on Bogden 3 for 14 years until his mentor, Yoort Thrybbl - a male Dressellian Jedi Knight - took him under his direct tutelage. The pair travelled and studied for three years before Order 66 was enacted.

Caught off guard and attacked by Clone Troopers on Ubrikkia, Yoort Force pushed Baxir to safety as the Dressellian fell before a barrage of blaster fire. When his Master fell, Baxir sputtered in anger and flew into a frenzy, dispatching his the assailants in a brutal exhibition of Force induced rage that left the troopers dead, his side burned from blaster fire, and his lightsaber destroyed. Wounded and distraught, Baxir fled the planet in Yoort's small freighter.

Not knowing where to turn, the Khil set a course for Bogden 3 only to find the Jedi Training Facility burned and abandoned. Scavenging what resources remained - a few datapads, a stack of books, and one of the facility Master's journals. With those materials as his only guidance, the youth determined his best course of action was to go into hiding and continue his own training.

=== Agriculture on Yablari ===

Baxir, ambitious like most of his race, found solace in structure that he could advance through. After a four years hiding in near solitude, the Khil made his way to Yablari where he acquired an desk job at, Eeruda, one of the larger agriculture companies on planet. Baxir's quick rise through the ranks of the company did not, however, match his growth in Force. The disgruntled businessman became cynical with his progress in the Force - often flying into fits of rage when he ran into a concept he couldn't comprehend. Determination kept his secret studies progressing, albeit slowly. A bitter pupil so wrapped up in his own research, Baxir was unaware of his downward spiral into the Dark Side until it was too late. Once there, however, he embraced it because he discovered it on his own.

The next four and a half decades saw Baxir raise to an influential position in Eeruda in charge of exports off planet; become an increasingly ruthless businessman; and slowly increase in his Force aptitude, though the latter still remained a struggle. The Empire and the New Republic rose and fell; the Galactic Alliance came into being; the Yuuzhan Vong invasion came and went - Baxir watched all of that without little interest. The Force was all that he cared about. That...and money.

Time had changed the Khil that had trained in the Jedi Arts from long ago. He had stopped dreaming of becoming a Jedi long before the New Republic was even a dream in anyone's head. Baxir Vol's climb to the upper ranks of Eeruda weren't just driven by his aptitude for business and crunching numbers, he spent his time practicing his Force abilities during business dealings and managed to tip the scales in Eeruda's favor on countless occasions. It was in such a deal that he tipped his hand to the wrong person.

=== Joining the Brotherhood ===

In 30 ABY, Baxir Vol found himself in a room with Orv Dessrx d'Tana Arconae who was on Yablari attempting to broker a deal that would help launder money for the d'Tana family where Eeruda would become an unknowing partner. It was in that meeting that Baxir attempted to exert his will on the Teltior that he was discovered. After a few threats and an exertion of the Teltior's will, Orv forced Baxir to divulge his past and the Dark Council member was surprised at the knowledge the Khil had acquired without tutelage. On a return visit a few months later, Orv took Baxir on as a secret pupil in exchange for Eeruda's cooperation with the d'Tana family.

The next five years brought many return visits from the Teltior who brought Baxir resources to sate his thirst for knowledge. With this newfound source of information, Baxir Vol's grasp of the Force skyrocketed.

== Character Information ==

=== Appearance ===
Baxir is an old Khil with gray-green skin mottled with faint age spots. As with all Khil, his ears come to points and in place of a jaw and mouth are many hullepi - six larger and many smaller tendrils that Khil use for speech.

Baxir has kept himself in decent physical condition despite his focus on studying the intricacies of the Force. His frame is lean and athletic for an old man.

The next four and a half decades saw Baxir raise to an influential position in Eeruda in charge of exports off planet; become an increasingly ruthless businessman; and slowly increase in his Force aptitude, though the latter still remained a struggle. The Empire and the New Republic rose and fell; the Galactic Alliance came into being; the Yuuzhan Vong invasion came and went - Baxir watched all of that without little interest. The Force was all that he cared about. That...and money.

Time had changed the Khil that had trained in the Jedi Arts from long ago. He had stopped dreaming of becoming a Jedi long before the New Republic was even a dream in anyone's head. Baxir Vol's climb to the upper ranks of Eeruda weren't just driven by his aptitude for business and crunching numbers, he spent his time practicing his Force abilities during business dealings and managed to tip the scales in Eeruda's favor on countless occasions. It was in such a deal that he tipped his hand to the wrong person.

=== Joining the Brotherhood ===

In 30 ABY, Baxir Vol found himself in a room with Orv Dessrx d'Tana Arconae who was on Yablari attempting to broker a deal that would help launder money for the d'Tana family where Eeruda would become an unknowing partner. It was in that meeting that Baxir attempted to exert his will on the Teltior that he was discovered. After a few threats and an exertion of the Teltior's will, Orv forced Baxir to divulge his past and the Dark Council member was surprised at the knowledge the Khil had acquired without tutelage. On a return visit a few months later, Orv took Baxir on as a secret pupil in exchange for Eeruda's cooperation with the d'Tana family.

The next five years brought many return visits from the Teltior who brought Baxir resources to sate his thirst for knowledge. With this newfound source of information, Baxir Vol's grasp of the Force skyrocketed.

== Character Information ==

=== Appearance ===
Baxir is an old Khil with gray-green skin mottled with faint age spots. As with all Khil, his ears come to points and in place of a jaw and mouth are many hullepi - six larger and many smaller tendrils that Khil use for speech.

Baxir has kept himself in decent physical condition despite his focus on studying the intricacies of the Force. His frame is lean and athletic for an old man.

=== Gear ===

* Dual lightsabers. One Purple, one red.
