| == Life and Death of the Tusken ([[8 BBY]] - [[20 ABY to 25 ABY|25 ABY]]) ==
| | '''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. |

| | 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. |

|
| Dark Adept Jonaleth Isradia foresaw the death of his Apprentice at the hands of his twin brother, Erickholm Isradia, and departed for Tatooine to intercept Ashura before he could reach his homeworld, but an Ion Storm prevented the <i>[[Isradia| Belistener]]</i> (a Vardorian Light Cruiser) from reaching the Warrior in time.
| | === Brotherhood Indoctrination (13 ABY to 17 ABY) === |
|
| |
|
| [[Jonaleth Isradia|Isradia]] retrieved the body of his fallen Viscount, although not directly as the Anzat was not fond of worlds like Tatooine. Upon seeing the deceased form of Ashura, the [[Dark Adept]] sensed a residue of life clinging on the very edge of the Abyss. Perhaps even enough to bring the slain Warrior back from the dead. The body was placed in [http://medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/Cryostorage cryostorage] for the journey back to Vardor. | | 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. |
|
| |
|
| Once on the [[Isradia]] family homeworld, Ashura’s body was taken to the [[Isradia|Vaults of the Dead]]. Unfortunately, the Viscounts death had been reported to numerous of people, including his [[Isabelle Lutah|Handmaiden]]. None knew of Jonaleth’s plan, as the Vardorian Necromonger summoned all the other [[Isradia|Necromongers of the Ninth Order]] to come forth in resurrecting the fallen Isradia.
| | === Sith Beginnings (17 ABY to 21 ABY) === |
|
| |
|
| Ashura’s Dark Jedi spirit meanwhile, stood upon the threshold of the Abyss, refusing to let death completely take him. Like all people at one point in their lives, he was faced with a choice. As the [[Sith]] stared into Abyss, the Abyss stared into him, revealing nothingness and yet everything. Everything came down to the fundamental element of who he was... and what he had become.
| | 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]]. |
|
| |
|
| Was he a Tusken Raider trying to be a man and a Dark Jedi? Or was he a man -- an Isradia -- a [[Sith Warrior]] that possessed great anger and savage emotions that had all his life brought him to the brink of utter chaos and destruction! In that moment of utter clarification, Ashura choose what he had become, and not who he was born to be. On that day it was destined for the Tusken Raider to die, and for Ashura Isradia to be born anew, as the fires of Resurrection claimed him.
| | === Disciple of Sadow (21 ABY to 34 ABY) === |
|
| |
|
| Ashura’s body burned with life once again, but this time it had been tainted by the [[Jonaleth Isradia|Necromongers]] dark magic, and his time spent standing on the threshold of the Abyss. Ashura’s tanned skin faded away, leaving it pale and almost unnatural. His dark blonde hair lost all pigmentation, leaving it silvery/white. His once dark blue eye now lit up with almost supernatural brightness. It was if part of him was still dead, which was partly true as the Tusken side of him was. I would have been surprising if anyone mistook him for a genetically baseline [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Human Human], as Ashura looked more [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Near-Human Near-Human].
| | 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. |
|
| |
|
| With the loss of his Tusken side, the [[Sith]] turned to the [[Isradia|Etherites Tradition]] and [[Isradia|Iperion]] of [[Isradia|Vardor]] to fill the void felt behind. To those who knew the man, the raging Tusken who bloodied and killed, that Ashura had been before his death will not know this man that returned to the [[Dark Jedi Brotherhood]]. This half dead, half alive tainted soul that stood on the brink of oblivion, and returned to tell the tale, is not the Ashura Isradia remembered. This is someone else entirely…and he has his eyes set on necromantic nature of [[Clan Tarentum]].
| | === Hiatus (34 ABY to 37 ABY) === |
|
| |
|
| === The Abyssal Blacksmith ===
| | 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. |

| | === 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. |

| == The Lovers ==
| |
| [[Image:Dante_Lucia-fairuse-pic.jpg|right|frame|The Lovers: Ashura Isradia and Isabelle Lutah]]
| |
| <b>Quote:</b> <i>"True love comes quietly, without banners or flashing lights. If you hear bells, get your ears checked. - Erich Segal</i>
| |
| | |
| Initially after his resurrection and rebirth, Ashura spent time in [[Isradia|Tol Rothan]], the capital city of [[Isradia|House Isradia]], as he needed time to regain his strength and recuperate from the transition to the living. The [[Jonaleth Isradia|Grand Duke]] realised that Ashura would need time before he able to get back on his feet, and summoned the Viscount’s [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Handmaiden Handmaiden] to care for her Master. Bondswoman [[Isabelle Lutah]] arrived at [[Isradia|Tol Rothan]], and was shocked to find that Ashura had been resurrected as she had been told previously that he had been killed.
| |
| | |
| The relationship between Isabelle and Ashura before his rebirth had been harsh and cruel on the Bondswoman, but that began to change. The man who he was before was dead. This new (improved) Ashura, as he looked and acted like never before, began to show his Handmaiden that he was not the Tusken she knew. Ash showed her passion and a handle hand. This surprised Isabelle, as one of the first things he had done was to caress her swollen belly, and say in [[Isradia|Mardorin]], <i>“Son imtah itai porin, par, non quazan sak.”</i> These words were enough to let Isabelle know the depths of his feelings for her, as she repeated them back to Ashura.
| |
| | |
| Ashura and Isabelle’s relationship had evolved from bitter <b>Enemies</b> on the battlefield, to [[Isradia|Panarch]] and his <b>Handmaiden</b>, and now thanks to his rebirth, to <b>Lovers</b> with child. As Isabelle was currently in the first trimester of her pregnancy, although she had been with child sometime before Ashura had been killed. The Viscount had orchestrated it to be the penultimate downfall for [[Isradia|House Lutah]], and that had still not changed.
| |
| | |
| == Psychological Profile ==
| |
| Ashura has changed since his resurrection and rebirth. He has all his memories of before his death, all the knowledge that he obtained, but none of the emotions connected to his past, except his connection to the Dark Side, and the emotions linked to it.
| |
| | |
| While recuperating on [[Isradia|Vardor]], the homeworld of [[Jonaleth Isradia|Master Isradia]], Ashura submerged himself in the [[Isradia|Etherites Tradition]]. <i>Beneath all things there lies a single, unify, omnipotent force, a framework upon which all reality is built, and from which all things come and are made.</i> This is the core teaching of the [[Isradia|Etherites]], and they seek to reveal, understand and master this unifying power. An [[Isradia|Etherite]] is like his philosophy; ordered, instinctive, collected and precise. He can seem at times absent minded or doddering as he communes with the underlying force – the [[Isradia|Ether]] – but is always aware of what goes on around him, and is not easily fooled, distracted or taken by surprise.
| |
| | |
| Ashura bares many of these [[Isradia|Etherite]] personality traits, but he is also [[Sith]], which explains his lack of remorse or guilt when he takes a life. He usually kills out of necessity, much like a predator when being threatened or on the hunt, but feels little if any restraint when doing so. He seems to have a diminished opinion of the value of life. The Warrior is brutal and cruel when facing his enemies, and his desire for ultimate power has led to him turning his back on the [[Isradia|Etherites Tradition]] numerous of times.
| |
| | |
| Ashura also possess a sense of honour and duty, which is inherent of the [[Isradia|Oath of Loyalty]] he took when becoming an [[Isradia]]. He unknowingly lives by the [[Isradia|Codes of Conduct]] which he must up heave at all time. It would also explain the man’s obsession to look beautiful, clean, and smart.
| |
| | |
| Ashura doesn’t use blaster pistols or rifles. He is reluctant to use them because he doesn’t believe them to be weapons of a true warrior. When not wielding his [[lightsaber]]. Ashura’s weapon of choice is a [[Sith Sword]], where he clearly uses a variation of the sword form Iaido, where the sword is drawn quickly, strikes the opponent, cleaned of blood, and replaced in the saya.

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. 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.
Sith Beginnings (17 ABY to 21 ABY)
Upon graduating from the Shadow Academy, Ashura joined his 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 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 Keibatsu, who managed to sway him into joining her 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 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.

Character Profile
- "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.
