| |
| | |
| '''Tsainetomo Keibatsu Sadow''' is a [[Sons of Sadow|Son of Sadow]] and former [[Consul]] of [[Naga Sadow|Clan Naga Sadow]].
| |
| | |
| == Character Facts ==
| |
| * Sai is fanatically loyal to the [[Keibatsu]] family and the [[Sons of Sadow]].
| |
| * Sai has played pivotal roles in the recovery of the [[Sword of Sadow]] for House Naga Sadow, the crushing of the Suukou Bodai Rebellion on [[Kyataru]], and the ousting of [[True Brotherhood]] usurpers from Sadowan holdings. He has also been present at nearly every major engagement that Clan Naga Sadow has been involved with, including the conflict against the Vong and the Jedi of the Light in the Eighth and [[Ninth Great Jedi War|Ninth Great Jedi Wars]]
| |
| * Sai suffers from a neurosis, as several of the members of the [[Keibatsu|Keibatsu]] family do; his is such that he loses all emotional attachment to people and situations, enabling him to act with almost mechanical coldness, precision, and efficiency.
| |
| | |
| == Appearance ==
| |
| [[File:Tsainetomo.jpg|250px|left|thumb]]Tsainetomo Keibatsu Sadow is the physical epitome of a swordsman extraordinaire; his lean, tall frame has been tempered by the rigors of training with the blade, and as such moves with the graceful fluidity afforded such students of the craft. No movement is superfluous, no action, wasted.
| |
| | |
| His skin is a sun-darkened bronze, a product of both genetics and environment, being of Korun and Keibatsu stock and growing up on a harsh, desert world. His hair is probably his most distinguishing feature, growing impossibly long and flowing seemingly with a life of its own. Tsainetomo has worn it out and untamed, and has pulled it back to a long braid. Recently, he has taken to pulling it back and leaving the untied portion bushy.
| |
| | |
| He can be affable to those he has become close to, and businesslike and distant to others. His friendship comes with a heavy cost, as he is 'in for a penny, in for a pound', for better or for worse. He does not take betrayals lightly, and has been know to plot for years to correct any slights to him or his character.
| |
| | |
| == DJB Facts ==
| |
| === Standard ===
| |
| [[File:7925_Kwarbanner.gif|thumb|150px|left|Tsainetomo Keibatsu's Sadow's Current Warbanner]]
| |
| Sai's standard bears a seal with the symbol of his House, [[Naga Sadow]], conveying his status as a revered [[Son of Sadow]]. It also has a seal of the ACC, signifying his service with distinction to the same. The prominent image is of the Square and Compassess, tokens of his Morality and minders of his vow to circumscribe his actions within the bounds of all the Brotherhood.
| |
| | |
| === Force Abilities ===
| |
| As all who follow the Sadowan way, Tsainetomo has a natural affinity for the telekinetic spectrum of the Dark Side, including a preclusion to use [[Naga Sadow Powers#Force_blast|Force Blast]].
| |
| | |
| === Fighting Disciplines ===
| |
| * [[Jar'Kai]]
| |
| Tsainetomo is the product of fierce study under celebrated swordsman on his homeworld of [[Kyataru]] and within the Brotherhood, including but not limited to [[Nekura Manji Keibatsu|Manji Sadow]]. As such, his thirst to improve has led to his natural progression to using two swords in combat with blinding swiftness and stunning finality. His prowess, however, not limited to bladed weapons; billiard cues, table legs, and other mundane objects that can be paired are used with equal effectiveness.
| |
| | |
| * [[K'thri]]
| |
| This fighting style lends itself perfectly to Tsainetomo's inherent grace and style, allowing him a fluidity and flexibility not seen in 'normal' disciplines. His control over his body due to his dedication to his swordsmanship and 'saberwork translates well within this style.
| |
| | |
| * [[Tu'rek]]
| |
| Tsainetomo uses this discipline in conjunction with his Force-assisted Combat Eidetic Vision to present his foes with a mirrored image of their own techniques.
| |
| | |
| ==== Weaponry ====
| |
| * '''''Rod of Correction'''''
| |
| [[File:7925-saber1.png|thumb|175px|left|Tsainetomo's Current Lightsaber]]
| |
| Working closely with the [[Herald]], Tsainetomo has been able to convince both him and the [[Grand Master]] that his particular fighting style and dedication to [[Jar'Kai Niman]] necessitated the creation of a custom hilt. Taking the synthesized orange Adgean crystal from his previous blade, he duplicated it, and installed the pair into unique hilts, forged from [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Neuranium neuranium] and [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Ultrachrome ultrachrome] for their application as melee weapons unto themselves. Tsainetomo, using liberal applications of the Dark Side, Alchemy, and the esoteric Krath arts, nearly killed himself completing the weapons. His efforts were not in vain, as the etching of Kyataran script revealed itself upon the culmination of the rite. The Herald had used his own considerable powers in etching the script onto the hilts, and its revalation confirmed that Tsainetomo had taken the necessary final steps in their forging. The script indicates the Herald's and Tsainetomo's shared heritage, and his opinion of his cousin: the wording near the top is known to only a select few, and the longer script is from the 25th chapter and 17th verse from a book included in a revered tome from Kyataru, quoting one of their homeworld's most celebrated prophets.
| |
| | |
| Due to Tsainetomo's operating around the mundane and Force-sensitive alike, his lightsabers can be used as batons, and devastatingly effective weapons in the application of both his martial and Force-born combat tactics; their unique construction permits the hilts themselves to withstand blows and locks from low to mid-grade powered lightsabers.
| |
| | |
| They are designed to join at their emitters to form a slender metal cylinder a little more than a meter long, which makes it an effective quarterstaff, but the intricate design of this joining prevents them from being ignited. Only when the batons are separate can they be activated.
| |
| | |
| ==== Lightsaber Forms ====
| |
| * [[Shii-Cho]]
| |
| Tsainetomo's strength is advantageous in his application of this Form; he will often use it to literally beat his opponents into submission.
| |
| | |
| * [[Soresu]]
| |
| This style, with its concentration on impenetrable defense, grants Tsainetomo time to see openings in his opponents attacks that he will exploit with surety.
| |
| | |
| * [[Niman]]
| |
| Tsainetomo has made it his personal crusade to learn and demonstrate the effectiveness of Niman. Rather than eschewing it as many of his compatriots in the Brotherhood have, largely in part due to its near demise at the hands of incompetent Jedi at the Battle of Geonosis, he sees it as granting him a perfect window into the strengths of all of the Forms that it encompases. Conversely, Tsainetomo also sees the Form as giving him an opportunity to learn his opponents' weaknesses within their preferred Forms, allowing him to divine the best way to defeat them in lightsaber combat.
| |
| | |
| * [[Jar'Kai Niman]]
| |
| Having studied under [[Nekura Manji Keibatsu|Manji Sadow]] and others using bladed weapons has naturally translated to his 'saberwork, and Tsainetomo's quest has ended in his mastery of this estoeric Form. In battle, he will often reverse the grip on his dominant-hand 'saber.
| |
| | |
| === Notable Achievements ===
| |
| * Was named Tetrarch and ACC Judge at the rank of Jedi Hunter.
| |
| * He has completed his Dark Jedi Knight Trials and has been initiated into the Mysteries of the [[Krath]] Priesthood, but has decided in recent months to eschew the Mysteries and follow [[Obelisk]] teachings.
| |
| * He spearheaded the successful efforts to have Naga Sadow return to Clan status.
