Zenod'ande'rson, dossier 15685
- "There are only two kinds of justice, Draca. The type that lets criminals out in the galaxy, and the type that teaches important lessons through definitive action. It's not always pretty, but I know which I prefer."
- ― Zenod'ande'rson
```Zenod'ande'rson``` (Anders, or Anderson to many,) is a male Chiss Force Sensitive serving as an Inquisitor and Envoy within the Brotherhood. He served within the Chiss Ascendancy as a Sky-Walker until the age of fourteen when he was rescued by a Sith of the Brotherhood. He was taken to Coruscant and remained there until the age of twenty-seven under the watchful eyes of the Inquisitorious. Zenod'ande'rson successfully completed his training, and has worked within their ranks for the last four years.
Character History
Youth And Upbringing (10ABY-24ABY)
Zenod'ande'rson was born the youngest of three brothers on Csilla during the Chiss Ascendancy. At the tender age of seven, he was discovered to have been gifted with certain aspects of the Force, or what the Chiss called Second Sight and Third Sight respectively. He was taken from his family and was initiated into the Sky-walker corps as a ozyly-esehembos, the Cheung word for Sky-walker, against his will.
Sky-walker's were Force-sensitive Chiss whose primary duty was as navigators for the Chiss Ascendancy fleet in the Unknown Regions, using their skills in Second and Third Sight (Telepathy and Precognition) to communicate with other ships and avoid dangerous obstacles. Typically, the Sky-walker's were female, though Zenod'ande'rson was one of the very rare and few males that possessed this gift. He was a timid boy during this period, with his only friends being the other Sky-walker's he could communicate with telepathically.
Typically, Chiss that are Force-Sensitive lose their connection to the Force as they get older. Zenod'ande'rson, however, only got stronger the more he used his power. Eventually, he began showing skills with Telekinesis. It was accidental at first, but became something he maintained a small amount of control over after self-taught practice, a fact that did not go unseen by his superiors. Because Zenod'ande'rson's sensitivity never wavered, drastic action was decided upon.
Escaping The Chiss Ascendancy
- "You'd think they'd have learned their lesson after my seventh escape attempt."
- ― Zenod'ande'rson
Being Force-Sensitive is highly taboo in Chiss society, despite it being a crime to kill Chiss navigators. It is considered impure. Those who do not lose their powers are given emergency surgery and are to be rehabilitated back into Chiss society. Such was to be the fate for Zenod'ande'rson. Unfortunately, another Sky-walker overheard the conversation between the Chiss officers, and relayed the message to him. When the officers went to retrieve Zenod'ande'rson, he was not in his quarters. This was to be his eighth, and final escape attempt from the Chiss Ascendancy.
An alert was sent throughout the flagship to hunt him down. Zenod'ande'rson made it to the escape pods, but not fast enough for Chiss Ascendancy officers to arrive. In an act of desperation, Zenod'ande'rson let his latent power explode as he conjured his first use of Force Lightning from stress and fear for his life, killing the two Chiss officers in the process.
Dazed, confused, and fatigued from the sudden burst of power, Zenod'ande'rson jettisoned the escape pod in the middle of the Unknown Regions.
Retrieval
Luckily for Zenod'ande'rson, his burst of power did not go unnoticed by agents of the Brotherhood. A Sith agent working for the Inquisitorious felt the spike in the Force, and followed it as it drifted through space.
By this point, Zenod'ande'rson's pod had been drifting in space for eighteen hours. He was weak and dehydrated. The Sith agent retrieved his pod and took him to the nearest medical facility to be healed, an asteroid named Meridia Prime.
Training (24ABY - 40ABY)
- " The galaxy needs to be held accountable for its actions, whether it likes it or not."
- ―Zenod'ande'rson
Once he was healed, Zenod'ande'rson was given a choice. He could leave, and fend for himself in the wider galaxy, or he could train under the Sith as their new apprentice, and swear loyalty to the Brotherhood, the Grand Master, and the Inquisitorious. With no other purpose, and a deep-seated thirst for the power he was able to use, he accepted and was taken to Coruscant.
Zenod'ande'rson advanced rapidly in the next twelve years, taking to heart the Sith and Inquisitorious philosophy. He lived on the upper levels of Coruscant in an apartment provided by his master as a token of his "goodwill" for having him as their apprentice. He was forbidden from leaving the planet as his Master manipulated and stirred the injustice that lay within Zenod'ande'rson's heart and mind, developing the retributive justice philosophy that he holds dear even to this day. The training was brutal and hellish, but Zenod'ande'rson kept fighting, determined, in his eyes, to bring justice to a galaxy that desperately needed it.
In 36ABY at the age of twenty-six, he was given the trial of defeating his Sith Master in combat. Fail, and he died. Succeed, and he joined their ranks as a brother. Only the strongest would survive. After an intense fight, he won, killing them in battle, and was given the freedom to leave Coruscant and work for the Inquisitorious.
Currently, he has worked for the inquisitorious for four years and holds the rank of Chief Inquisitor.
Envoy Work (40ABY-Present)
In 40 ABY, with the founding of the Envoy Corps, Zenod'ande'rson became a member, using the Envoy Work to travel to new places on behalf of the inquisitorious network. It gave him a chance to spread his own retributive justice whenever he got the chance too.
Zenod'ande'rson is currently at the rank of Envoy.
Description
Appearance and Attire
Zenod'ande'rson is a tall, Chiss male, and shares many characteristics of his species. He has deep blue skin, and bright red eyes that seemingly glow in the dark. His hair is as black as space, though there is a tint of blue when seen up close. His hair is cut short at about neck length.
The wardrobe Zenod'ande'rson uses depends on the occasion. For Envoy Work, he will wear his Envoy threads unless the mission requires a degree of stealth. For Inquisitorious work, he will typically wear his Chief Inquisitor armor, pitch black.
For everyday use, he wears a set of black Equite robes tinted with red lines on the arms and legs.
Zenod'ande'rson has a crafted saberstaff which produces twin red blades. On each set is a Sith Cloak he takes everywhere with him. It's a moment from killing his Master.
Speech and Mannerisms
Having lived on Coruscant for half of his life, Zenod'ande'rson speaks with a strong Coruscanti accent. It is very pronounced, especially around others.
Zenod'ande'rson holds himself with respect, and can be seen often sharing a smile with his arms either across his chest or held behind his back.
Personality
- " "You're welcome!""
- ― Zenod'ande'rson
Zenod'ande'rson, in most situations, is a cordial, positive, and seemingly carefree individual. He is often seen with a genuinely warm smile on his face, and an earful of sarcastic wit for anyone willing to listen. He is quick to make friends or enemies out of people depending on the situation because of it.
However, this charm is not without cracks in its walls. Zenod'ande'rson is an incredibly stubborn individual, particularly when it comes to his beliefs, whether that be Sith ideology, or his views on the galaxy’s justice system. He is a firm believer in righteous judgement and will defend it until his dying breath if he has to.
Despite this, he is a loyal, caring, and sensitive soul, especially for a Sith. He will fight for those he considers friends or an ally.
Combat Abilities
Force Powers
- " Force Lightning is the answer to all life's little problems. A hoard of enemies? Lightning. Lack of power on the ship? Lightning. An old kettle that won't boil? Boom. Lightning."
- ―Zenod'ande'rson.
Zenod'ande'rson's Sith Master followed the philosophy of ``` If it ain't broke, don't fix it.``` The Sith Master recognised Zenod'ande'rson's natural talent with the Force and built on it, eventually becoming Zenod'ande'rson's primary form of attack and defence before drawing on his weapons. His skills as a Sorcerer apply to his abilities in {{starwars:Precognition|Precognition}} and {{starwars:Telepathy}}, which he uses to predict and unbalance his foes. Yet, his skills in Telekinesis and especially Force Lightning outshone all else as he uses them to incapacitate and kill his enemies. Zenod'ande'rson was moulded to be a deadly Sith Sorcerer from near or afar.
Trollesu
- " There's an art to breaking an opponent's spirit before their body."
- ― Zenod'ande'rson
Upon the start of his training, Zenod'ande'rson was unconfident, and timid, but eager to learn. He leaned more towards defensive styles of physical combat rather than offensive. His Sith Master leaned into that, turning his defensive preference into a strength rather than a weakness with both his lightsaber form and martial arts.
Zenod'ande'rson was trained to utilise Soresu and Sliding Hands. The idea behind this strategy was to parry and deflect incoming opponent attacks long enough using Soresu's advantage in energy conservation mixed with Sliding Hands to wear out an opponent until they made a mistake. From there, Zenod'ande'rson could finish his opponent off with the Force, or a quick swing of his lightsaber.
He further adapted this tactic with his application of the ancient Sith art of smack talking, better known asDun Möch. Zenod'ande'rson uses it to further unbalance his opponents, break their confidence, and force an opening.
His style of fighting is deadly and effective, but not without its weaknesses. Force users adept at Suppression tactics can heavily limit his offensive options. With no offensive sequences of its own, Soresu and Sliding Hands will leave Zenod'ande'rson merely delaying the inevitable, especially against opponents with equal skill or high resolve.
Sith Alchemy
During his spare time in-between completing his training and completing tasks for his Sith Master, Zenod'ande'rson took up an interest in Sith Alchemy. He researched tomes and artefacts from ancient Sith, learning the processes of alchemical enhancement in both inorganic and organic material. His first successful application was a Sith Dagger which he always carries on him.
