- "One could look at the battlefield with grace, artistry and beauty. These matter not for when the bestial terrors I have created face them for the first time. They will be scared, and you will enjoy it!"
- ―A passage said by Nikola Valtiere to Lexiconus
Born Nosolar Qor on the planet Dac, Lexiconus is a disciplined and harsh Quarren and Dark-sided Jedi. Raised within the Sith Order of the Brotherhood, ‘Lexic’ was taught how to harness the power of the Force. His special talents as a Doctor and Techweaver make him well aware of both the Unifying Force, and the Living Force. As only beginning his journey as a medical student, Lexic did not harness the Force until he was an adult, this was the foundations of using the Force for his own ambitions. The members of his Clan and House know very well to not be in his debt. Lexic currently resides in House Imperium as the Quaestor of the Scholae Palatinae Army.
Character History
Quarren Origins
File:Mon Calamari.pngHomeworld of Dac
Roughly eight years after the signing the of the Galactic Concordance, there was a time of unease as the New Republic were tasked to find the remnants of the Galactic Empire in the Unknown Regions. It was during this time that the people of Mon Cala begin to resupply the New Republic with warships and weapons. Under the rule of King Lee-Char, the dual nationality of Mon Calamari and the Quarren became increasingly tense. The Quarren wished to resupply the New Republic with greater research of weapon technology, whereas the Mon Calamari were adamant in believing the foreboding visions of a native Jedi. It was during this tense period, that the Mon Calamari began to target and sabotage military factories on the planet. This started the Liberation Wars.
In 11 ABY, two defenders of what was known as the Shield Enforcers, a mixed group of Quarren and Mon Calamari who protected the weapon supplies, gave birth to their third and youngest child. They named him Nosolar Qor, after a famed defender who sacrificed his life as a watchtower sniper against King Lee-Char’s soldiers. Nosolar wasn’t a planned pregnancy and bringing the young Quarren into this world was filled with danger, distrust and betrayal. The young boy was chased by the King’s men all his life, from safehouse to desolate trenches to predated coral reef. Slowly the casualties of the war forced the boy to become cold to death, taking his time to hunt and kill for food or pleasure. During his teen years, Nosolar was offered a route away from his planet by the New Republic Senate, who created a program to assist children in wartime achieve the education they deserve. Packing his bags and shipping himself away from the conflict and torture with the never ending battles, Nosolar left Dac on a corvette.
He was taken to an academical campus built into the old temples on Yavin 4. The young Quarren thrived in a new and safe environment, making many friends and excelling in the subjects chosen for him. With a keen eye on science and biology, he was diverted towards the advanced subjects of medicine, research and scientific theories. Nosolar spent many years studying hard and researching all he could about the principals of medicine, its history in the galaxy, the anatomy of the different species far and wide, the use of traditional herbs and plants to heal and current research projects of the present time. As a young adult and starting to live independently from his fellow students, Nosolar was tasked with travelling to different planets and systems, in order to learn from the resident doctors, consultants, surgeons, professors and deans in many various institutes and hospitals. The longest time he spent a resident somewhere was the forest of Kashyyyk, where he learnt how to harness the natural environment as a tool, weapon and food. Being a Quarren of healing, Nosolar consorted in the Wookiees survival techniques and their use of herbs and plants. But in time he realised his knowledge of the outdoors was also a defensive mechanism. At the age of 20, Nosolar found himself transported again to the Cocytus System, an unfamiliar system to him, where he trained under the experts of Ohmen City Hospital. It was here, he learnt the consequences and dangers of toxins, poisons and venoms from around the galaxy.
It was during his toxicology class that Nosolar began to learn the dangers from within the city he lived in, as he met and befriended the current System Moff, Landon Cruise. A stocky and typical soldier, the Human grew more curious about the Quarren by each passing day of his research. Cruise would occasionally visit his anatomy lab, sit in to the lectures by professors, offer him dinner, the pair became comfortably acquaintances. Nosolar didn’t mind this, as he was a stranger in a strange planet. But it was during his live experiment research that Nosolar’s whole life changed for the better.
One time, when the Quarren and newly appointed Doctor of Medicine was researching the effects of plant toxins on adrenaline-depleted mice, a shocking event occurred. The experiment was failing, he was running out of funds for his post-doctoral research and the stress built up, in a fit of rage Nosolar squeezed his hands together and the organs of the mice burst out. Of course, Landon Cruise was standing by to watch this ordeal in its entirety, then decided to talk to the Quarren and explain. He told Nosolar the basic principals of the Force what the dark and lights sides were and mainly how the mouse exploded. Landon then expanded on this discussion through a series of days, stalling his time enough just so his direct superior could step in. Through several heavily educational lectures, the Rollmaster taught Nosolar how each side of the Force worked, and the mechanics of emotion working within each side. This led to the topic of the Sith Order, how they used their passions to gain what they desired. It was a no-brainer for Dr Qor. The researcher was far more curious about this than anything he had learnt before, pleading to be taught, he was transported off-world in order to learn the ways of the dark side. Once on a battleship above the atmosphere of Judecca, Nosolar was formally introduced to Emperor Xen'Mordin Palpatine and the training began.
No longer being an ordinary doctor, Nosolar invented an identity of mysticism and power in branding his name to Lexiconus Qor. A gentle reminder of his professional past, while hindering on the potential of his future.
Defense Against the Dark Arts
File:Sithcode.jpgSith Code
Whilst on the campaign for future learning materials, Lexic came across the Headmaster of the Shadow Academy and his Neti Praetor. They invited him to a secluded conference with other members of the Brotherhood, some were Sith and there was a Jedi in their presence. The Headmaster lectured them about the infinite mysteries of the Force and the dark secrets withheld inside the Sith scrolls that were archived years ago. Because of the recent loss of Antei, the scrolls were brought to attention and were passed around to the Professors for analysis. For the members of this particular group, they were given the chance to join the Headmaster and convert to fully Sith in order to gain access to the darkest knowledge available. Lexiconus felt possessed by this opportunity and opted to follow the Sith Code. He was inducted to the Sith Order and named a Sith Warrior.
Aedile of House Imperium
Upon losing his Aedile of House Imperium, Xen'Mordin Vismorsus needed a replacement and searched the Brotherhood systems for the most suitable candidates. His scouts found Lexiconus to be most profitable for the Clan and Xen acted on this.
Safely on-board of a Scholae shuttle, Lexiconus traveled his way to the Cocytus System into the jungle planet of Judecca and traveled North West of the main Continent to the March Isles. When landed onto the cool mountainous isle, he was greeted by the Gray Jedi Adept Kell Dante the Quaestor of House Imperium who gave the newly appointed Aedile a small briefing of the duties, his role in the Scholae Palatinae Military as Chief of Operations and what the future holds for the young Sith Warrior. It was in the first few days that he got better acquainted with the new Battle team Leader of Shadow Guard, a human named Delak Krennel and the two were like two peas in a pod at times. Other times it was often perceived that Delak was really in command of Lexiconus.
Without a strong governmental power or judicial system set up for the Isle's personal policies and deeds, it quickly became difficult to read through the paperwork of the House members and the citizens of the island. Lexiconus took the initiative here and began to instigate an advertisement for politicians to form a Parliament that better handles their paperwork, taxes, policies and deeds of the Isle. Both Dante and Lexiconus finally felt some ease as they could better manage the Force-users and Military of the House and Isle as a whole. For his hard work, his long term achievements and recent dedication to the Clan and House, Lexiconus Qor was promoted from Warrior to Battlemaster by Rollmaster Landon Cruise and the Techweaver was thrown into a large party of other members, where drinks were poured on him and set alight in this joyous occasion.
Celebrations were swiftly cut short, as the Emperor of the Clan was alerted by an old presence reappearing in the system, Infinite Emperor Vanis.
Monstrosities
When the Pacre Datship were in hiding, their leader Emperor Vanis fought to resolve his issues against the Imperial Empire forever. He found himself a ritual cave hidden under the depths of Judecca and began to summon titans in slumber from around the Cocytus System. The Antenora Sandworm rushed out from the dunes and devoured the city of Nas Modeh and the inhabitants that ran screaming from it. The pack of Ptolomea Forest Beasts stalked the unwary citizens on Ptolomea and racked up quite the body count, despite some of the best soldiers resisting. The icy world of Caina had no fight against the Caina Colossus as it stripped the military bases down and destroyed any vehicles within two clicks of it.
However whilst doing his best to defend Judecca and Ohmen City from the incursion of rotting corpses that greeted the streets and land, Lexic witnessed an even bigger challenge rising from unfathomable depths. Slithering its way across the landscape and striding over the most infallibles structures, the Judecca Abyssal darkened the sky as it destroyed most of the land. When the Twin Towers were crushed by the beast’s strong tentacles, Lexiconus knew he needed to act and gathered any soldiers left. Together they marched into what they call ‘’’No Man’s Land’’’ and fired at the Abyssal head on, with many losses and settlements destroyed. With strong endurance, unbreakable morales from Lexiconus and a lot of weaponry, the group survived long enough until Akazel, the last living Ratakan broke the ritual and saved the system.
Quaestor of House Imperium
File:TheInterrogation-JPL2016-1200pxT.jpgQUA Dante & AED Lexic
Due to Dante beng much more interested in the confinements of the fleet, the soldiers and the military power he possessed, the Elder decided to resign from his Quaestor post. This left Xen with the ability to promote Lexic to the Quaestor position. While in this powerful position, the Quarren was already a master to a brave and new student called Kyo Akumu, a young human skilled with a lightsaber. But he needed a new challenge for his teaching skills, and when he met the new System Moff Elincia Rei, she delivered a young Zeltron called Blade Ta'var. A skilled swordsman and a deadly assassin in her short past, she was eager to impress and ascend through her master. But the dark side was not easy for her to develop in, and the trials became harsh.
Needing someone to replace his former position, Lexic picked his young student to succeed him as he felt she passed her knighthood trials well enough to impress him. As a Quarren of academic and scientific roots, he taught her the ways of skill and information, preferring the simulations a droid could give with a lightsaber. Through their reign, the House prospered and became a strong military base for the Imperial Empire to use.
Then one night, Lexic received a chilling message from the Emperor himself, that rattled his spirits.
Subterfuge
File:Lexiconus, Blade and Kyo in the Bar 1200px.jpgLexic, Blade and Kyo sat at the bar
- "Attention members of House Imperium,
Today, the order and stability you have helped bring to the Cocytus system is threatened. Not by some ancient evil, or bold outsider, but from within. These men and women you so deemed to call brothers and sisters, they have plotted against you.
House Excidium, those honorless, anarchistic curs, have been sowing the seeds needed to supplant we loyal followers of the Empire. They perceive our government as weak. Indeed, they seek to exert a far more brutal, relentless form of control and rule over the populace in a regime of bloodshed and terror. Through their secret networks, control of the black market, and decentralized facilities, they seek to tear apart everything that we have built and protected and bled for.
Your orders are to rout out these renegades and bring them to justice. Order must be maintained, for the Empire!"
- ―Consul Xen
The orders came straight from the Emperor that House Excidium, the shield of the Clan were traitors to the Empire and needed to be destroyed. Anarchy and hysteria invaded the streets of Ohmen as the young and inexperienced Force users of the Houses met up and were ambushed. Trust was shattered between the two factions as they came face to face on many fronts and battlegrounds. During this period, the Queastor got surprised by an Excidium raid including Jorm "The Jester" Na'trej. Unfortunately for him, the insane Kiffar proved to be more than a match and depraved beyond scope. After defeating the Quarren, Na'trej shackled Qor and submerged him in a sewage tank, where he was found nearly a day later. Although he survived thanks to his aquatic nature, the experience left its mark on the Quaestor.
Lexic was the ever and even more so vigilant and silent leader from a range, watching and planning in his mind what to do next, while he eager and powerful Aedile launched the front line assaults against Excidium. Winning and conquering each and every battle before them, it wasn’t long before Imperium were going to wipe the traitors from Scholae Palatinae entirely.
The final battle was set on Jormungand Quarry, on Ptolomea, and while the Imperium ranks filed and started their invasion, the secretive and cunning forces of Excidium were ambushed and forced to resort to trenching tactics. In the heat of the battle, the Emperor called off the war and summoned his subjects back to Ohmen City. There he gave an invaluable speech on the importance of trust, loyalty and deception. Then a new Proconsul was revealed, the infamous Black Hand had returned.
Physical Description
File:Lexiconus Qor resize.jpgLexic in the Laboratory
Surprisingly, the Dark Side of the Force hasn’t affected Lexiconus much since he began studying it many years ago. Apart from the battle scars from lightsabers, blasters and vibroswords his skin has been professionally patched and healed. His body is slim yet physically capable and trained for cross-country and swimming, so his thighs, core and shoulders are toned while the rest looks average.
When dressed casually, Lexiconus dons a streamlined battleskin which has been weaved with a matrix of tiny, hard tooth-like structures called placoid scales. When faced with the outdoors, Lexiconus uses a bark-brown cape adorned around his shoulder via a chainmail link. This can help camouflage him when out in the wilderness. This is what Lexiconus will wear for ceremonies, Clan Events, funerals, Knighthoods and appointments.
When dressed casually, Qor throws on a one-piece chemical-proof overall that he uses when experimenting within the laboratories. It is royal blue with a light blue seam running down the zips, across the lining of the pockets and on the letters and logo of the Clan. He also wears a long white laboratory trench-coat with two deep pockets at the bottom front and a tools chest pocket at the upper left, near the opening of the coat. Both made from synthetic fabrics, they have seen some wear and tear shown through burn marks, rips, chemical smudges and sauce stains.
The only rare time you may see the Quarren in his birthday suit or waddling around with just his undergarments, is in his extra-curricular activities of swimming, deep-sea diving, plundering ruins or when using guerrilla tactics. He has learnt from his experience across the galaxy, painting your body in the natural coloured mud and submerging into the swamps or ground will benefit him for surprise attacks.
Personality
As a Techweaver and Doctor, Lexiconus has always had a natural affinity towards protecting the allies and soldiers around him. Although he dislikes the latter with a passion, as shown when interacting with one, he will upgrade their machinery or converse with them if necessary. It has become a daily activity for Lexic when he sees a soldier, he will most likely paralyse it, poison it or play some other ridiculous prank. All for sport and pleasure, of course. However when pushed and against a tough challenge, the Quarren has shown deep respect for the loyalists and mercenaries who ally and help him in the name of the end goal.
Lexiconus has and always will be a natural born leader which has come as a profit for the summit he is involved with. The Quarren has a knack for planning battles, studying the enemies’ flaws and testing their limits with complicated schemes. It has often becomes customary for Lexic’s superiors, to see him walk into a meeting with 8 different data pads on tactics, stealth operations in history, specs on vehicles and in some cases joined by a specialist for that mission.
Lexiconus has always been a person on a crusade of ultimate power, he is the first and foremost to stand against a threat in order to gain the upper hand. Regardless of the outcome for others, the Quarren uses his best skills and abilities in order to ensure he remains supreme. Whether it is a trap he has fallen into, a conflict between two greater minds or a territorial gain, Lexic walks first into the problem without a shroud of resentment for anyone else involved. It has slowly become his dedication, over the years, to earn a higher status and work hard for the best and most powerful outcome. In essence, when Lexiconus sees a potential asset, he will strive his best to achieve and control it for his selfish needs.
Infamous for his cold and completely uncaring demeanor, Lexiconus has stood as a symbol of racism against all sentient beings around him. It is not because he is simply racist, but down to the fact of a past riddled with unqualified, weak, fearful, unloyal, spontaneous, childish and temporary allies and clan-mates. He has simply forced himself to stop caring about what happens to others and focus on his own conclusion in missions. Although he sees all members and hired hands as disposable, he isn’t cowardly to offer them into the front-line alone and usually takes this position himself, in an effort to have gainful power. This type of persona leaks into his hatred for droids as well, often playing pranks on their systems and hardware. Lexic has learnt many droids are also too fragile for his attention, but much more disposable than your average humanoid and alien. It will come down to Lexic in many battles to use a droid squadron, commanding them to fight mercilessly and offering them as bait first before intuitive soldiers.
During combat you will find your strongest soldiers at the front-lines, your ranged scouts near the middle and many vehicles at the back of the lines. However with Lexiconus a position isn’t constant, he will often contort between many various positions and scenes in order to confuse the enemy. But most of his tactics will be ranged combat, in the use of Telekinesis for dragging and crushing enemies, Healing to patch and repair allies or other Force Users and his Lanvarok to engage the enemy with a surprising effect.
The Quarren is and always has been a courageous and intractable combatant in the scene of war, standing strong against improbable odds while inspiring the bodies he will certainly sacrifice first. It doesn’t matter how many enemies Lexic is against, how technologically superior they have become or if they have surprised him with an ambush, Lexic is innately ready to face the waves. This strong will and strive to compete is what always attracts the eyes of his superiors and the Dark Council.
Overall, Lexiconus Qor will push himself and others, inspire anyone who needs it, kill anyone who stands in his way and ultimately have a good time while doing so. As a Quarren, he naturally struggles to converse or sympathise with others but that doesn’t press his morales. As long as they understood him and don’t fall behind, Lexic can get along with the majority of members in the Dark Brotherhood. Whether they’re Sith, Dark, Gray, Jedi, Loyalist or Mercenary matters not, Lexic’s attitude is the same. However because he was born on Dac, Lexiconus will always distrust the Mon Calamari race because of their light-hearted approach to everything and their beliefs in diplomacy.
Powers & Abilities
As a strong Techweaver, Lexiconus Qor has dedicated his time training in the Force to understand the circuitry and machinations of computers and droids around him. Lexiconus has come to learn that technology is a sacred and vulnerable asset, which is something he plays with and manipulates. Determined to aid himself and others, Lexiconus has turned to the sinister art of Hexing, learning the ability to crush or rip the wiring, boards and hull from consoles, droids, turrets and vehicles. This lowers the difficulty just enough for his allies to step in and finish the job. Using Telekinesis as second nature, Lexiconus can now cover his flanks if he finds himself in trouble.
Always pushing his body to it's limits, Lexiconus has found that there are some places in the galaxy he struggles to survive in. He has also seen some of his allies come so close to the brink of death, that even a young dark sider could of saved them. Through studying the systems inside cadavers, exploring the blood vessels, nervous systems and precious organs inside, Lexiconus feels adept enough to understand how to control his own body parts. He can calibrate his heartbeats into a fine rhythm and survive near-death attacks, he can stride through the most toxic of atmospheres and come out only a little worse for wear and can even appear dead to untrained eyes. His skills have progressed so extensively, that as a medic Lexiconus can paralyse bodies with a Force-fueled Anaesthetic.
While healers of the Light Side of the Force usually sooth the patient, numb his pain and rectify the wounds in a calming and enlightening manner, the Dark Side differs. Known by the most powerful of Sith as Sustenance, you will often see images of these powerful Sith weaving their hands above themselves or their subjects. They tug cuts closed, cauterise muscle fibers, jam broken bones together, snap dislocations back and ignite poisons or disease within the body. Qor has found in the most vile, gluttonous and evil of books that Sith Lords would often bathe their subjects in primordial soup or amniotic fluids. Using the boiling fluids to rebuild men, the monstrous techniques learned were just theories. The Quarren has even read techniques of re-attaching cadavers, defibrillating dead organs and animating corpses. Qor’s research has led him to expand his Healing abilities towards those in bacta tanks, the disabled and those in comas.
Combing Telekinesis against Force Users and technology, Control Self against flesh and nerves, and Healing onto the bodies of the weak, Lexiconus Qor has earned himself a reputation of being a repulsive and fearsome Sith.
Career
Symbol of Medics across the galaxy
Lexiconus has studied for years as a practiced Doctor and Surgeon, he has transferred these skills into his current position as Sith. However when the Force fails him, he has the knowledge of Medicine to back him up. The following items listed are always contained in his Medic back-pack, for when the harshest of times are forced upon him:
- Wound Gaze - To prevent and stop excessive bleeding.
- Iodide & Hydrogen Peroxide - To clean and protect the wounded areas.
- Lidocain - To anesthetise and numb the local area.
- Adrenlaine & Morphine Syringes - As a stimulant to the patient.
- Blood Bags - Complete with syringe, tubing and locked into a freezing compartment. Specifically for Humanoid use, with the DNA alignment extracted.
- Surgery Set - Knives, forceps, hooks. For when onsite surgery needs to be done. Useful for labour, tumour extraction or parasite removal.
