| == Biography == | | '''Ashura Isradia Sadow''' was a [[Sith]] [[Warlord]] and [[Son of Sadow]]. He was also known as the '''Puppet Master of Sadow''' due to his sadistic nature of crushing the minds of his foes with the use of manipulation and [[starwars:Mind trick/Legends|malicious mind control]], then turning them into willing puppets to be used and discarded at will. |

| | === Early Life (2 BBY to 13 ABY) === |
|
| |
|
| As long as Ashura remembered he had grew up on Tython with his master, he had no memory of who his parents were or where he was born, to him Tython was the planet of his birth. His master, whose name he never knew, was essentially his parental guardian and Force teacher, his early childhood consisted of games training him in the core Force abilities, Ashura also learned how to read and write. It was from his sixth year that his master started to train him in the Dark Side, he was abandoned in the wilderness with only a knife to hunt animals with, this was his first true test to see if could survive.
| | Ashura Megos and his twin sister, [[Atalanta Megos|Atalanta]], were born to Alexandros and Cassiopeia. The twins were [[starwars:Force-sensitive/Legends|Force-sensitive]], but their parents were not; fearing the Empire might want the twins for their potential, they kept moving around. The Megos family never stayed in one place for too long, and it remained like this for years until one fateful day. Their transport vessel malfunctioned and had to make an emergency landing on Tython. It seemed that a [[Jonaleth Isradia|Dark Side Adept]] had caused the failure; he had sensed the twins’ Force signatures and laid a trap. The Megos family escaped into the Tython wilderness. At the same time, the other passengers died; they were tracked down and killed too. Only the twins were kept alive; however, while Atalanta fled, Ashura was left behind and fell into his parents’ murderer's hands. The Dark Side Adept took the boy and raised him on Tython; Ashura’s upbringing forced him to forget about his parents and sister. As far as he knew, Tython was his home. His childhood consisted of twisted games and harsh lessons training him in the Force core abilities. Ashura also learned how to read and write, to survive and hunt in the wilderness, and basic medical techniques to dress his wounds. A pattern emerged: the boy would spend time training in the necessary Force abilities, being taught basic lore regarding the Dark Side of the Force, then leave on his own for months on end as survival training. It was during his teenage years that his time on Tython was coming to an end. He learned about the organisation his master was attached to and was deemed ready for his indoctrination. |
|

|
| Ashura’s master returned after a week to find his student has manage to start a fire and was cooking meat stuck on the end of the knife. The young boy had used all his basic Force training and his wits to pass this first test. A pattern began where Ashura’s master would spend time training him in advanced Force abilities, teaching him the history and secrets of the Je'daii Order focusing more on Bogan then Ashla, then leave on his own for months on end between visits. Ashura gained brutal survival skills from the dangerous predators that saw him as prey. As he grew older his training increased to include lightsaber and martial arts, from the age of thirteen was assigned tasks to complete, failure resulted in brutal punishment so he quickly learned to adapt. At sixteen his final task was to travel to Je’daii ruin where the earliest Bogan teachings were recorded, he was to learn the most darkest of techniques, Ashura spends days deciphering the ancient language only to find it incomplete. He decided to to undergo a traditional Bogan technique, this was basically ritual fasting and meditation while submerged in the Dark Side of the Force, he started off slow until he went weeks without food and only a little water. His efforts were not in vain as this trance opened his mind to the hidden secrets that were the early teachings of Bogan.
| | === Brotherhood Indoctrination (13 ABY to 17 ABY) === |
|
| |
|
| Upon his return his master declared his training complete, Ashura was proclaimed a Dark Jedi Knight, as he learned the truth that his master belong to the Dark Jedi Brotherhood. Along with this new rank, he was also given right to use his master last name as apparently he had already been registered as member of his masters clan from the time he was a toddler. Ashura was given the tools to build his own lightsaber instead of using a training saber, once it had been completed his master ordered him to kill ten Jedi Knights to prove his worth as a Sith. He found that killing Jedi was very rewarding, Ashura was always sure he had the advantage, using every trick he had learned to defeat these Jedi Knight. His success went down well with his master, who gave him free reign, allowing Ashura to made his own choices in life.
| | As an initiate, Ashura spent the majority of his time at the [[Shadow Academy]], an institution that takes Force-sensitive individuals as potential members and physically and mentally twists them into [[starwars:Dark Jedi/Legends|Dark Jedi]], then with proper training and testing watches as the most ruthless of them sacrifice the weaker ones to further progress down the path of the Dark Side. Ashura thrived in this environment, and it seemed his upbringing had prepared him for life at the academy. In his second year, he learned the basics of lightsaber combat and more advanced Force techniques that heavily focused on the use of the Dark Side of the Force. He became fascinated with [[starwars:Republic_Military/Legends|Old Republic military]] history. The tactics they used, the battles, the victories and the defeats they suffered were all very educational to him. Ashura knew the only way to succeed in the academy was to grow stronger, even if that meant killing to get ahead. It was only natural to form a temporary partnership with other initiates, which often helped against other such groups looking to get ahead. Ashura became quite talented in manipulating other students, and if that didn’t work, then he would use deception, intimidation and interrogation to achieve his goals. By the end of his time as an initiate, Ashura had become a cold and ruthless individual who saw those weaker than him as mere puppets to be used and discarded at will. |
|
| |
|
| For the next few years Ashura joined different clans, trying to find those that would help him grow stronger, this took him to some dark places which warped his mind to the how twisted the universe really was. During this time he had held various positions of power which helped him hone his Bogan techniques of manipulation. Eventual he was invited to join Naga Sadow in another position of power, this was the place where Ashura found those allies he needed to him advance in rank. As he grew in rank, Ashura grew in power, skill and experience. He served in many different position of power including clan proconsul.
| | === Sith Beginnings (17 ABY to 21 ABY) === |
|
| |
|
| == Personality ==
| | Upon graduating from the Shadow Academy, Ashura joined his [[Clan Plagueis|master's clan]] as an [[Apprentice]]. Here, he experienced life as a clan member and once more found himself under his master’s tutelage. It was here Ashura chose to follow the path of the [[Sith]], as the thirst for power was all-consuming, and the knowledge he could learn from the [[Dark Side Adept]] seemed limitless. So he prostrated and subjected himself to his master’s twisted training, sinking deeper into the [[starwars:Code of the Sith/Legends|Sith doctrine]] to survive. Years passed by, and Ashura grew in talent and power, passing one odious trial after another before meeting the requirements that saw his promotion to [[Dark Jedi Knight]]. Upon achieving his knighthood, Ashura found himself adopted into his master’s family as a type of reward; he even legally changed his name from Ashura Megos to Ashura Isradia. However, the newly christened knight did not want to remain in the same clan as his master; he desired to spread his wings and achieve his goals. He spent two years bouncing from one group to another, trying to find the right clan that would help him achieve his goals. Ashura’s thirst for power was so great it even got him into trouble; he crossed the wrong people and had to face the [[Chamber of Justice]]. Luckily, he got off with a warning, but it made the Sith more cautious from that point onwards. It was a year after his cross with the [[Justicar]] he met [[Ashia|Ashia Keibatsu]], who managed to sway him into joining her [[Clan Naga Sadow|clan]]. |

|
| | === Disciple of Sadow (21 ABY to 34 ABY) === |
|
| |
|
| | Upon joining Clan Naga Sadow, Ashura took up one of the vacant Envoy positions. It may not have been a seemingly important position of power, but it did allow the Sith to observe how the clan operated. The politics of the Sadow were split into two groups; the [[Disciples of Sadow]] and the [[Sons & Daughters of Sadow]], who were loyal to the Heir of Naga Sadow, [[Astronicus Aurelius Sadow]]. Ashura continued his role as Envoy until eventually becoming [[Aedile]] and later [[Quaestor]] of Marka Ragnos. Naga Sadow appeared to be the perfect place to build up his power, and the Sith ensured he would find like-minded individuals within the clan: allies, comrades, but never any friends. Friends were a weakness. During this point, he started to fine-tune the process of making his “puppets,” weak-minded fools who broke to his torture, interrogation and intimidation methods. He became fascinated with “reprogramming” these broken husks into obedient and expendable pawns using malicious, mind-altering Force techniques. During this time, he earned the nickname of “Puppet Master,” which would later change to “Puppet Master of Sadow.” Ashura’s greatest achievement was during his tenure as [[Proconsul]]. While he only held the position for a couple of years, his work and accomplishments were recognised by being granted the Son of Sadow title, and he was eventually promoted for it. When his time on the clan summit ended, Ashura turned to more personal interests; this included the taking of students. He finally agreed to take on an unaffiliated Dark Jedi from the Shadow Academy; who he got was [[Aleho Ruoxf]], a spunky young Tortuga. Despite his best efforts, he became attached to the girl and she to him. The Collective would later exploit this connection to his apprentice by luring him into a trap and replacing him with an imposter. While under the Collective’s care, he was experimented with and tested to help find methods to fight against Force users. When not strapped down, he would be facing off against Collective forces in a gladiatorial-style arena for them to hone their skills. He was eventually rescued a few years later by members of the [[Keibatsu]] family, who were assigned to investigate rumours about a shadow organisation. |

| | === Hiatus (34 ABY to 37 ABY) === |
|
| |
|
| | Ashura immediately took Aleho to learn from the [[starwars:Matukai|Matukai]] and [[starwars:Jensaarail|Jensaarail]] to learn from them and help fine-tune her Force abilities and broaden her mind. After a year of this, he began her real training, subjecting her to painful and lethal methods, making Aleho draw out her rage and use the Dark Side of the Force as a weapon and tool for her advancements. He focused her martial prowess, lightsaber skills and advanced Force techniques. Ashura sent regular reports to the Shadow Academy regarding Aleho’s progress. While on the hiatus from Clan Naga Sadow, he missed the Collective’s invasion and takeover of the Orian system. It was during this period many things happened to the Brotherhood; it was the end of one era and the beginning of a new one. Ashura joined the newly established [[Inquisitorius]] as an Apprentice Inquisitor. His reprogrammed drones, also known as puppets, were to be used as undercover operators for the AIN. When he deemed Aleho ready for her knighthood trials, he lured his apprentice into a trap; he had arranged for a group of Jedi Knights to discover her. He watched from afar as Aleho fought off the Jedi, using all her skills she had been taught, and eventually slaughtered all of them. Much like his master had done for him, the moment Aleho’s knighthood went through, he adopted her, although she decided not to change her name legally. Some months later, he received word that Clan Naga Sadow was planning to take back the Orian system. |

| | == Character Profile == |
| | {{Quote|The Force is strong in this one...."|Darth Vader}} |
| | === Personality === |
| | Sadistic, cold and cruel would be a brief description of Ashura’s personality. The man was a sociopath that liked to see his victims suffer, either through torture, interrogation or murder. He enjoys twisting people into pawns to and using them for his plans. It made matters worse that he also had a high intelligence quotient; this made Ashura calculated and meticulous when it came to planning and details. |
|
| |
|
| | === Physical Description === |
| | Ashura was an adult human with white hair and black eyes which become red when he taps into the Dark Side. Before going into any battle, he liked to apply Sith war paint to his face. The meaning of this was to intimidate and disconcert his opponents mentally. Lingering scars cover his body caused by his harsh training and from previous battles. Many of these were minor lightsaber wounds across his abdominal, vertebral and scapular during combat. The other scars on his arms and body were results of shrapnel during battle zones. |

Ashura Isradia Sadow was a Sith Warlord and Son of Sadow. He was also known as the Puppet Master of Sadow due to his sadistic nature of crushing the minds of his foes with the use of manipulation and malicious mind control, then turning them into willing puppets to be used and discarded at will.
Character History
- "You underestimate the Power of the Dark Side."
- ―Darth Vader
Early Life (2 BBY to 13 ABY)
Ashura Megos and his twin sister, Atalanta, were born to Alexandros and Cassiopeia. The twins were Force-sensitive, but their parents were not; fearing the Empire might want the twins for their potential, they kept moving around. The Megos family never stayed in one place for too long, and it remained like this for years until one fateful day. Their transport vessel malfunctioned and had to make an emergency landing on Tython. It seemed that a Dark Side Adept had caused the failure; he had sensed the twins’ Force signatures and laid a trap. The Megos family escaped into the Tython wilderness. At the same time, the other passengers died; they were tracked down and killed too. Only the twins were kept alive; however, while Atalanta fled, Ashura was left behind and fell into his parents’ murderer's hands. The Dark Side Adept took the boy and raised him on Tython; Ashura’s upbringing forced him to forget about his parents and sister. As far as he knew, Tython was his home. His childhood consisted of twisted games and harsh lessons training him in the Force core abilities. Ashura also learned how to read and write, to survive and hunt in the wilderness, and basic medical techniques to dress his wounds. A pattern emerged: the boy would spend time training in the necessary Force abilities, being taught basic lore regarding the Dark Side of the Force, then leave on his own for months on end as survival training. It was during his teenage years that his time on Tython was coming to an end. He learned about the organisation his master was attached to and was deemed ready for his indoctrination.
Brotherhood Indoctrination (13 ABY to 17 ABY)
As an initiate, Ashura spent the majority of his time at the Shadow Academy, an institution that takes Force-sensitive individuals as potential members and physically and mentally twists them into Dark Jedi, then with proper training and testing watches as the most ruthless of them sacrifice the weaker ones to further progress down the path of the Dark Side. Ashura thrived in this environment, and it seemed his upbringing had prepared him for life at the academy. In his second year, he learned the basics of lightsaber combat and more advanced Force techniques that heavily focused on the use of the Dark Side of the Force. He became fascinated with Old Republic military history. The tactics they used, the battles, the victories and the defeats they suffered were all very educational to him. Ashura knew the only way to succeed in the academy was to grow stronger, even if that meant killing to get ahead. It was only natural to form a temporary partnership with other initiates, which often helped against other such groups looking to get ahead.

He finally agreed to take on an unaffiliated Dark Jedi from the Shadow Academy; who he got was Aleho Ruoxf, a spunky young Tortuga. Despite his best efforts, he became attached to the girl and she to him. The Collective would later exploit this connection to his apprentice by luring him into a trap and replacing him with an imposter. While under the Collective’s care, he was experimented with and tested to help find methods to fight against Force users. When not strapped down, he would be facing off against Collective forces in a gladiatorial-style arena for them to hone their skills. He was eventually rescued a few years later by members of the Keibatsu family, who were assigned to investigate rumours about a shadow organisation.
Hiatus (34 ABY to 37 ABY)
Ashura immediately took Aleho to learn from the Matukai and Jensaarail to learn from them and help fine-tune her Force abilities and broaden her mind. After a year of this, he began her real training, subjecting her to painful and lethal methods, making Aleho draw out her rage and use the Dark Side of the Force as a weapon and tool for her advancements. He focused her martial prowess, lightsaber skills and advanced Force techniques. Ashura sent regular reports to the Shadow Academy regarding Aleho’s progress. While on the hiatus from Clan Naga Sadow, he missed the Collective’s invasion and takeover of the Orian system. It was during this period many things happened to the Brotherhood; it was the end of one era and the beginning of a new one. Ashura joined the newly established Inquisitorius as an Apprentice Inquisitor. His reprogrammed drones, also known as puppets, were to be used as undercover operators for the AIN. When he deemed Aleho ready for her knighthood trials, he lured his apprentice into a trap; he had arranged for a group of Jedi Knights to discover her. He watched from afar as Aleho fought off the Jedi, using all her skills she had been taught, and eventually slaughtered all of them. Much like his master had done for him, the moment Aleho’s knighthood went through, he adopted her, although she decided not to change her name legally. Some months later, he received word that Clan Naga Sadow was planning to take back the Orian system.

Personality
Sadistic, cold and cruel would be a brief description of Ashura’s personality. The man was a sociopath that liked to see his victims suffer, either through torture, interrogation or murder. He enjoys twisting people into pawns to and using them for his plans. It made matters worse that he also had a high intelligence quotient; this made Ashura calculated and meticulous when it came to planning and details.
Physical Description
Ashura was an adult human with white hair and black eyes which become red when he taps into the Dark Side. Before going into any battle, he liked to apply Sith war paint to his face. The meaning of this was to intimidate and disconcert his opponents mentally. Lingering scars cover his body caused by his harsh training and from previous battles. Many of these were minor lightsaber wounds across his abdominal, vertebral and scapular during combat. The other scars on his arms and body were results of shrapnel during battle zones.

Trivia
- The name "Ashura" belongs to an older version of Ash Ketchum from Pokemon MASTER, a dark Pokémon fanfiction by Ace Sanchez, which is a damn good read. This is where the name was first picked up the name for this character.
