Krath Priestess Impetus, Loyal member of Clan Scholae Palatinae
Character History
More information will come soon, but in brief: Impetus (Birth name Tonal'la) was born into Rylothean Royalty, trained rigorously in swordplay in case the need for her to fight arose. Despite the fact that her father was a Jedi, she was not trained in the ways of the Force, due to her Father's fear that she would fall to the Dark Side. She developed a lust to wield the Force despite her Father's strong will to stop her.
At the age of 15, Tonal'la was kidknapped by rodian slvaers from Tatooine. On Tatooine, she became a slave dancer for the 'Oasis Cantina'. For almost a year, Tonal'la was forced to dance in a skimpy outfit in front of about 50 men.
As Tonal'la finished a dance one night, and made to leave the cantina hall, a drunk Human cantina patron urged her to carry on. After she refused, he drew a dagger and threatened her with death if she didn't carry on. She still refused, and used her natrual agaility to defend herself from the attacker's drunken rage. Much to the amusement of the rest of the hall, the Twi'lek's foot caught the jaw of the human, knocking him onto his back. She then drove the dagger through his heart with no remorse. By chance, an off-duty Twi'leki Sith Knight named Scept'ine happened to be in the cantina. He noticed her skill in combat and approached her, sensing a strong Force presence around her, yet it felt untrained. Scept'ine reccomended her to the Sith Academy on Ryloth, a place where she could train in the ways of the Dark Side. From then on she would call herself Impetus, attack in Rylothean. Impetus fled the Oasis cantina. The Academy was situated underground inside a huge cavern, just on the edge of the Bright Lands.
A week later, Impetus returned to the Cantina, to pick up her possessions. The managers of the Cantina attacked her for her desertion. Armed with a new Katana, she crossed swords with her old boss, the fight drawing the attention of a nearby wookie, who rushed to the Sith's aid. Sensing the Force in him, Impetus led him back to the Academy on Ryloth. From then on the Wookie trained alongside her in the ways of the dark side, under the name Laurus. Although he understood Galactic Basic, it took some time for Impetus to understand Laurus' communication.
Two years later, when Impetus was 18, she faced a frantic fight for her life, as 5 Krath knights marched towards the Academy, in a search for dark side artefacts, led by Kschamehellan. By then Impetus had modified her katana by use of Sith Alchemy, the sword was resistant to lightsaber blows, feather-light, and could never lose it's un-natrually sharp edge. They approached the Academy with their sabers activated, it seemed diplomacy was out of the question. The Academy contained only 8 sith, all of which stepped out into the cavern to face the attack. 5 were killed extremely quickly by the Krath, although a human Sith managed to impale one on the end of a katana. only Scept'ine, Laurus and Impetus remained to fight their way through the 4 remaining Krath. Scept'ine was cut down by Kschamehellan, who then noticed the combat skills and Force prowess of the pair. He offered to spare their lives if the swore to serve Scholae Palatinae, and never lost faith to the Clan. Impetus and Laurus still remain there, and Impetus still uses that same Katana.
