"Sometimes something has to fall, before it can be rebuilt."
―Impetus, during the Sixth Great Jedi War


Krath Arch Priestess Impetus Korin is a long term member of Clan Scholae Palatinae, current Tetrach of The Order of the Dragon, previous Aedile of House Acclivis Draco, and previous Quaestor of House Caliburnus. She is currently Scholae Palatinae’s Ward of the South, and carries historical knowledge of all the members of the clan.

Her history is a complex one, starting out as a respected Princess, then falling to the ultimate low of society before beginning her steady climb to a life that isn’t a burden. The incredibly agile, flexible, and beautiful twi’lek dislikes combat and war, unlike most Dark Jedi, and prefers times of peace and serenity.

Character History

Early Years

The people of Siordan’a


" The Daughter of the Jedi King, must not be trained in sacred Force. She’ll learn the path to evil things, and kill without remorse."
― A Siordan’a Prophecy

The people of the city of Siordan'a were a strange race. The twi’lek civilisation in the twilight zone of Ryloth was built into the side of a mountain, Mount Chir'Lekki, and was mostly isolated from the rest of the galaxy. The only means of transport to and from Siordan’a was a small, recently constructed spaceport.

The city was almost exclusively comprised of yellow skinned twi’leks, who worshipped their goddess, Kikalekki. A prominent belief of the Siordan’a people was that the lekku of a twi’lek housed the living spirit, and upon death, the spirit was shattered and housed in the lekku of their loved ones, to provide guidance from beyond death. Those with only one lek are said to bring bad luck, and are seen as a lesser form of life.

Unlike most twi’lek cities, Siordan’a was run by a Royal Family, said to be blessed by the protection of Kikalekki. The leader was always male, and the only one entitled to bear a gemstone, named Kikalekki’s Sapphire, the main treasure of Siordan’a, and said to have been created by the deity herself. To attempt to bring harm on the King was the ultimate act of blasphemy.

By the year 5 ABY, the king, Nextru’la, had no heir. It was common knowledge that after his death, the Throne would be passed on to the head of his council, Zentu’la, a Light Jedi who’s wife had recently given birth to a girl named Tonal’la

Tonla'la, at 11 years old, by Juda

Attack on Siordan’a (12 ABY)


" Even at this age, Tonal’la’s intelligence and fitness are astonishing"
― Tonal’la’s tutor, Alieksha’la

As Tonal’la grew, her character began to develop. Back then, as a seven year old girl, whose talents ranged from mathematics to gymnastics, she was the embodiment of innocence. The very kind of person who would least expect the events that were to unfold in her life, and in that very day.

A fosh, by the name of Shaikanetsa, was asking the king for directions, with Tonal’la in close proximity. As she glanced over to them, all she saw was a casual conversation. Nextru’la never was one for formalities. Then, in a flash of movement, Tonal’la saw the fosh’s blade protruding through the King’s neck. Blood splattered to the floor and he died instantly.

Tonal’la’s girlish scream brought the attention of the Assassin. Knowing the worth of a young twi’lek girl, he rushed towards her. What he didn’t know, however, was that the girl’s father was rushing to her aid, and arrived in the nick of time to save his daughter from slavery.

The Fosh had created a huge cut on Tonal’la’s lek before his escape, and she spent the next 2 weeks in a Bacta Tank. When she emerged, the Coronation Ceremonies had already taken place, and her Father had been crowned as the new king.

Tonal’la wanted him to teach her the Force, so she could save herself in the future, but fearing the prophecy might foresee Tonal’la’s fall, Zentu’la refused. He was also incredibly protective of her, and forbade her from ever leaving The Fire Temple, a building that doubled as a Royal Palace.

A Surprise Attack(19 ABY)


" Young and beautiful. You’ll be getting me out of a lot of trouble, little girl"
― Slaver from Tatooine

Tonal’la quickly got bored with this lifestyle. By the age of 14 she had spent her last 7 years inside the same building, and her lust to use the Force grew. She began to hate her father, and thought she was missing out on having a proper life.

In the end, she decided to take action. While no guards were looking, she escaped the Fire Temple and began to explore the city. After a short time,, she encountered a man with only one lek. Believing the superstitions, she ran back to the temple, fearing terrible luck.

Her loud, frantic footsteps caused her to be attacked mid-way by a human slaver, she was shot in the heart with a tranquilising blaster. When she awoke, she was in a ship landing in a Tatooine Spaceport, in the capital city of Bestine. She was handcuffed, and a lead was tied around her wrist.

She was scared, truly scared, for the first time since the assassination of Nextru’la. She was led, handcuffed, to a building called ‘The Oasis Cantina’. The sign ‘Free Twi’lek Dancers’ on the wall gave Tonal’la a horrible first impression.

She was led into an office, where another human sat behind a desk, the rich, yet evil cantina owner, Savdo Nelik. In the ensuing discussion, Tonal’la was shocked to work out she was being offered in a game of Pazaak to try to eliminate the debts of the one who captured her.

She found it reasonably amusing when her captor lost the match, but upon realising what had just happened, she was far from laughing. Savdo Nelik was grinning widely as he was given Tonal’la’s lead like he was buying a dog.

The Oasis Cantina(19 ABY)


" This will not be over quickly. You will not enjoy this"
― Savdo Nelik, before showing Tonal’la what her new life involved

Tonal’la was led into a room near the office. It was incredibly well decorated, and resembled a luxury hotel. She was confused as to why she was given such a high quality room to sleep in, until Savdo Nelik explained.

She was never to leave the room, aside from to visit the en-suite bathroom. She was ordered to undress in front of Nelik and instead put on an outfit consisting of a yellow skirt, a yellow translucent bra, and nothing else. All her other clothes were confiscated before she was told more.

Visitors to the cantina, after paying Savdo Nelik, had the option for a private dance from Tonal’la. But she was not limited to being a private dancer. She was forced to fulfil the wishes of everyone of her customers, unless they caused her any physical damage. She was given injections to permanently protect her against various infections, and pregnancy.

After that, it all began as she was raped by Nelik. The first week was repetitively sickening for the twi’lek, who was still only 14 years old. While the dances weren’t so bad, she found herself being seduced on multiple occasions each day. Particularly cruel was one customer by the name of Tyrus. In between her customers, she would practice dance. It was the only thing she could do there that allowed her to let go of the burden of life, and also kept her incredibly lithe and athletic.

Despite this, Tonal’la began to detest her life. She became constantly depressed, and lost all hope that she would be rescued. She blamed the only person she could. Her Father, who she hated then more than ever.

The Birth of Impetus(20 ABY)


" Fall to the Dark Side? Look at where you are, and is it still a fall?"
― Scept’ine
File:Impetus-.jpg
Impetus, at 17 in the Ryloth Academy

This happened for a year. A year of relentless torture, for her it was utter hell. It took a year wallowing in her own despair for the first rational thought to enter her mind.

‘‘To seduce is better than to be seduced’’.

With that came a new plan to help her endure slavery. She would make the first move, and stay in control, even if it meant going further than she would have otherwise. While this didn’t work for her meetings with Tyrus, for the most part, she had developed something that very few people accomplish. A way to enjoy slavery. Tyrus was cruel, racist, sexist, and seemed only to take pleasure in breaking the girl’s spirit.

Tonal’la kept her unusually positive attitude for another half a year, until she was visited by a twi’lek male, while preying to Kikalekki. Ironically she was particularly repulsed by the males of her own species, but she pounced on him in her usual manner regardless. She was surprised and confused when she was thrown off and helped back to her feet. Then the man explained.

His name was Scept'ine, and lived in an abandoned Sith Academy near the Ryloth Brightlands. He was led to her by the Force, and requested she join the academy and learn the Dark Side of the Force. She jumped at the opportunity, and Scept’ine gave her his outer robes, lightly armoured with bracers, to cover herself up. She also changed her name to Impetus, and vowed to put the past behind her.

The academy was run by 2 Masters. Scept’ine, and a fosh. Impetus was shocked to discover that the Fosh was none other than the one who murdered the Siordan’a king in front of her.

While their first meeting was hostile, Impetus understood that he valued his own life above everything else, and didn’t have a choice about killing the king. Impetus had also developed an unexpected trait after leaving Tatooine. She had become addicted to sex, and needed someone to satisfy it to keep her sane.

Of all the people, Impetus fell in love with Shaikanetsa, and all previous hostilities were forgotten.

Vengeance(21 ABY)


" This will not be over quickly. You will not enjoy this"
― Ironically said by Impetus, before slowly killing Savdo Nelik

While Impetus’ addictions were satisfied by her first true lover, a sense of unfinished business on Tatooine wasn’t. She travelled back to Bestine, claiming she was on the lookout for new students. This was only half of the truth. She had trained under Shaikanetsa for 3 weeks, and was now armed with a Katana, Scept’ine’s armoured robes, bloodlust, and the Force. She had picked up the latter extremely quickly.

She returned to The Oasis Cantina, and engaged in combat with Savdo Nelik. What she didn’t expect was two guards to emerge unexpectedly and flank her, she was outnumbered three to one. Cursing her lick, she put up a final stand, certain she was going back into slavery.

But then, a furious wookie growl marked the arrival of her saviour, it took only one slash from his giant sword to decapitate one of the guards. In the confusion, Impetus slid her katana through the ribs of another and disarmed Savdo Nelik, before killing him slowly, and painfully, unleashing her blade on the more painful parts of the male anatomy before plunging the katana through his throat.

After that, she sensed something from The wookie. She thought it was the Force but wasn’t sure. While conversation was difficult, she convinced him to return with her to the Sith Academy. He accepted, and told her his name was Laurus.

When she returned, there was a new member in the academy. A neti, named Ood Bnar, who was roaming the galaxy in the pursuit of knowledge, and was particularly interested in a certain holocron in the academy. Impetus and Laurus got to know him rather well, but the next visitor wasn’t so welcome.

Tyrus wasn’t willing to give up his time with Impetus so easily, and had tracked her ship to Ryloth. Scept’ine seemed to like him, and he was Force Sensitive. He was accepted as a member of the Academy. The events on Tatooine had left Impetus slightly scared of him, so she kept her distance.

The True Dark Side of the Force(21 – 23 ABY)


" I can’t delay my escape any longer, my love. You have to survive this Impetus, there’s no way I’m losing you here."
― Shaikanetsa, to Impetus before fleeing Ryloth.

About a year later, Ood had extracted all the knowledge he could from the academy, and left to find a new source of knowledge. Half a year later, Tyrus couldn’t hold himself back any longer, and he made significant unwanted advances on Impetus. Luckily for her, Shaikanetsa heard her calls for help, and prevented anything from happening. Tyrus, furious, left the academy in search for somewhere else that would help him train in the Force. By this time, Impetus had worked out a way to combine her skill and continued training in dance with her combat training, and had developed her own elegant style of fighting.

The next significant event in the academy took place after Impetus had lived there for over two years, and was past 18 years old. Having spent over 2 years on the timeless world of Ryloth, her true date of birth was lost to her.

Shaikanetsa was the first to see the four Dark Jedi marching towards the academy. He sent a message through the Force to Impetus before taking the only ship, and only means of escape, before fleeing Ryloth. The others in the academy were left to fend for themselves against four lightsaber wielding opponents. From the academy’s side, Scept’ine was the only fighter with a lightsaber.

Quickly and mercilessly, everyone except Scept’ine, Laurus and Impetus were slaughtered, and only one of the attackers was killed. In a last stand, Scept’ine and Laurus managed to kill another of the attackers, but Scept’ine couldn’t prevent a saber attack to his heart.

As Laurus and Impetus, whose relationship had grown exponentially since Tatooine, waited to share the same fate as the others, they were given a choice. Replace the ones they killed, or die. Naturally, they chose life, and returned with the two dark Jedi, named Kschamehellan and Mune, the their clan of Dark Jedi, Clan Scholae Palatinae.

The Dark Brotherhood Years

An Unexpected Opportunity


" I was pretty confident in you actually. HAD was slowly going downhill and we needed new blood like you."
― RevengeX, looking back on Impetus' first leadership experience.

Impetus quickly realised that her training on Ryloth was of a far lower standard than the training on Judecca, with her new master, Kschamehellan. She advanced through the ranks slower than she expected, and without a lover close by, she felt alone. Shaikanetsa was far away, she didn’t even know if they would ever meet again. But regardless of the future, he would have no idea what was happening then. She started a relationship with the Trandoshan Krath Priest, Exodius. While there was no love between the two, it kept Impetus satisfied for the time being.

Alongside Laurus, Impetus was enjoying her training, and in months that seemed like days, advanced to the rank of Guardian. With this came a crazy move from the Quaestor, Mune, to make her the Aedile of House Acclivis Draco, with no prior experience of leadership.

Around this time, Ood Bnar’s quest for knowledge brought him to Antenora, where he would re-unite with Impetus and Laurus.

Impetus prospered in her new role as an Aedile, but her stay in Acclivis Draco, and her relationship with Exodius was about to end, as a request from the Consul Timbal brought her the prospect of a higher calling, and a huge step forward.

A Foreign World


" Wild, passionate, and much flair. Good to have her leading, doubly so for me."
― Timbal seemed to have become rather intimate with Impetus since her ascension.

The task set before her was to leave Acclivis Draco behind and take command of House Caliburnus, a house ravaged after a feud with [House Dorimad Sol]]. She left Acclivis Draco to lead the weaker house, inspired by the mission of evening things out.

The daunting magnitude of the task before her was set aside by a surprisingly warm welcome from the dominantly Sith house. Immediately she found herself rather intimate with her new Aedile, Xen. While their sexual relationship was inconsistent due to Xen’s split personality, their strong friendship never wavered.

Another strong influence on Impetus was Horus Blackheart, valuable for his military and tactical experience. Horus ignored Impetus’ flirtatious mannerisms for reasons regarding honour, causing their interactions to be strictly professional.

It wasn’t long before Impetus met another man who would become an important part of her life. Transferring in from Clan Plagueis was Thran Occasus. Impetus found his attitudes mirrored hers. After making him a battleteam leader, their relationship became rather similar to her one with Xen.

It was around this time when Impetus was given her first student, an Iridonian Guardian by the name of Cethgus. She found him the opposite of herself, where he was strong and resilient, she was fast in mind and body, where he relied on brute force, she would show off her grace and dance. Surprisingly, their partnership was a success. Cethgus was also the one to first produce Impetus’ trademark weapon, a heat powered segmented whip called the lightwhip. Impetus preferred it to her lightsaber, and used it on many occasions.

Accelerated Inheritance


" It's your fault I was a slave, it's your fault I was kidnapped, it's your fault I embraced the Dark Side, and it's you who'll be punished!"
― Impetus blames her father for the way her life went

Impetus spent much of a tedious Great Jedi War on Ptolomea, planning the battles rather that actually participating in them. For her part in this, she was elevated to Priestess at the end of the war. As far as the brotherhood went, this was the peak of her life. She had found something that stretched her abilities to the limit, and where she was needed. But something was still missing. She had sworn vengeance that her father would pay the price for not teaching her the Force, and not saving her from slavery, but she had never done anything about it. Until now.

Her plan was simple. She would burrow a random civilian ship, return to the Siordan'a Fire Temple, and provide adequate proof of her royal status for a private meeting with her Father. Then she would engage and kill him, claiming the city, and his possessions, for herself, before returning to Ptolomea.

The first parts of the plan went well. She reached Siordan'a, showed a royal medallion as proof of her bloodline, and was told to see her father in the throne room. The sight she was faced with in the room surprised her somewhat. Rather than seeing him alone, the king was flanked by 10 guards.

After a heated argument with him about her slavery and the Dark Side, only one solution was possible. Zentu'la told his guards not to interfere before he activated his Lightsaber. Impetus did the same. The second their blades locked it was clear they were almost even in strength. The duel lasted for about half an hour, neither side willing to back down. After lightning quick show of bladework and the Force, the fateful blow was struck as Impetus' saber severed one lek of her father, a slow, painful, evident death for a twi'lek. She stammered back, shocked by what she had done, before hearing her father's last words. Words that would change her life completely.

Before he died, the light Jedi confessed the mistakes he made in life. He accepted that Impetus should have learnt the Force at an earlier age, accepted that the Dark Side was more powerful, and told Impetus he was proud of her choices, and said he will always be with her, even beyond his Death. He then told his guards to praise their new monarch. 'Impetus, the Shadow Queen.' Despite Impetus' best efforts to save her father's life, he died in her arms through the confession that she loved him.

The Siordan'a Exodus


" For the first time I'm glad, to have you as my father."
― Impetus' last words to Zentu’la

In the whole of Siordan'a history, not one female monarch has ever been crowned. Some of the guard considered the new ruler sacrilegious, for both her gender and the murder of the King, and attacked her on sight, while those on Impetus' side were the minority. A fight broke out across the Fire Temple, and almost half the Royal Guard were cut down by Impetus and those who stood by her. In the midst of the fray, Impetus' mother, disconsolate at her husband's death, took her own life.

After the fray, the Siordan'a Council waited a week for things to calm down before naming Impetus as the new monarch. This decision upset a lot of the population, and caused many to leave, as it was against religion to have a female leader.

Upon coronation, Impetus received all of her father's possessions. The Echo, a starfighter hybrid of a TIE and an X wing, and Kikalekki's Sapphire, the gem believed to have been created by the goddess Kikalekki, as proof of her royal status.

Knowing that she could not stay in Ryloth for much longer, she placed the council in direct control of the City and took The Echo and Kikalekki's Sapphire back to Ptolomea, with a Royal Guard of 4 Force Users following her.

Love’s Return


" Impetus and Shaikanetsa are an… odd couple."
― Laurus

Shortly after the events at Siordan'a, Impetus was about to hear from an old face once again. After years of research, Shaikanetsa had managed to track Impetus to the Cocytus system. She was sat in her office when he walked in, both overjoyed to see each other. Impetus' first reaction however put across the wrong message, as she slapped him across the face for leaving her to die on Ryloth.

It took a few days for her to calm down, but after that, they became as close as they ever were, and for Impetus it made up for the loss of her family, and also put a stop to her sexual escapades with Xen and Thran.

In CSP, Shaikanetsa decided it would be better for him to join the CSP army rather than the Dark Jedi portions. After masking his Force Sensitivity from those would recognise it, he was placed in the 3rd Legion: 77th Assault.

Equilibrium


" One life can make a mark upon this world, one life can move the wheel of history."
― Impetus

Tensions began to grow between Acclivis Draco and Caliburnus. Impetus, who hadn’t forgotten her time in Acclivis Draco, was powerless to stop the ensuing war against rival Quaestor RevengeX.

Caliburnus were commonly believed to be the weaker house, but in their first clash since before Impetus took command, the houses seemed evenly matched. An attempt on Impetus’ life was made, but it was foiled by her lightsaber. The whip forged by Cethgus, the Lightwhip, was destroyed in a duel with RevengeX.

Against Impetus’ will, the tensions erupted into a full scale war on Judecca. The eventual battle was prevented by an attack on Judecca by a mutual enemy, but it was clear to Acclivis Draco that Caliburnus were no longer an inferior force, and must be treated as an equal. Impetus had done what she set out to do in Caliburnus, and rejoined her first house, Acclivis Draco, where she was also re-united with Laurus. As Shaikanetsa had been inducted into the Caliburnus defence forces, they were separated again.


The Ultimate Betrayal


" He did deserve it though"
― Kalak Ragnos
DragonFang, Impetus' Lightsaber
DragonFang, Impetus' Lightsaber

The separation from Shaikanetsa caused a change in Impetus’ mentality. She looked back on the time they spent together, on Ryloth and Ptolomea. She started to realise a selfish nature within him. She wanted a way to punish him, and her sexual drive was burning. The first lucky man to catch her eye was the Rollmaster, Cuchulain. Their escapades were replicated in a holo-recording by Impetus’ R6 Droid.

But one affair wasn’t enough for her. She knew how strong Shaikanetsa’s feelings for her were, and how what she planned would affect him. Next to reap the benefits of the twi’lek’s lust for vengeance were Arion and Kalak. But while two were human and one was falleen, they had too much in common for the effect she wanted. Her next partner was the first of its kind since her time on slavery. Xathia wasn’t too fussy about who she was with, and so she was the fourth, to the disappointment of more than a few males who heard of Impetus’ plans.

Rumours are that Impetus was also with a fifth partner, the mere mention of which can be more than sickening to the average mind, and wasn’t captured on a holo recording. While this was confirmed by Impetus, the name wasn’t.

Shaikanetsa felt a mix of emotions, ranging from despair to rage. He forgot all love he once had for her, as it morphed into hate. Had he not been bound to the Caliburnus Defence Forces, he would have killed her. Impetus merely smiled at his threatening message, and put Shaikanetsa behind her.

It was around this time that Impetus was given a new position in Acclivis Draco, the first of a new unit called The Order of the Dragon, as the Fang of Prophecy. One member a month was to be invited into the Order, which was to become the Quaestor’s personal guard. It took virtually no time at all for Impetus to forgive RevengeX for what happened in the war, while RevengeX was slightly hesitant with her at first after the war, this faded in time, and the two get on as well as any leader and member. She was also given a new whip to replace the lightship, forged by the best smith in Acclivis Draco, as a mark of her loyalty to the Dragon house. It was appropriately named ‘The Dragon’s Tail’.

True Love


" The Dragon’s Tail isn’t the right whip for this. I’ve got more though."
― Impetus to Ararin Korin

Around 3 months before the RoS, a curiously picked team of 5 Dark Jedi, including Impetus and Laurus, found themselves on an unknown world, seeking passage back to Judecca. Up to this point Impetus had carried on her relationships with the four that provided her vengeance against Shaikanetsa, but this was about to change.

The group of 5 was joined by an excellent twi’lek human hybrid marksman, by the name of Ararin Korin. He bore the better features of both races, and Impetus found him incredibly attractive. Near the climax of their mission on the unknown world, Impetus was thrown backwards, and landed straddled on Ararin’s waist.

After making a comment about The Dragon’s Tail, the two started talking. They kissed as the rest of the group chased off an enemy. After they finished their task, Impetus took Ararin back to Antenora, where he joined the Order of the Dragon as a sniper. Her sexual relationships with everyone else ended immediately, for she had finally found a partner who wouldn’t abandon her for anything. From that day she made a vow to be loyal to him, her love for eternity.

The effect of Love


" Meeting you was the best thing I ever did"
― Impetus to Ararin 2 months later

Despite frequent temptations, Impetus retained her loyalty to Ararin Korin, with the exception of a few casual relationships with other girls, all of which Ararin gave permission for. Their mutual love continued to build, the pair enjoyed the relationship until the RoS, up to about 4 months together without any arguments or strife.

Life alongside Ararin had made Impetus a completely different person. She started to change quickly, given a completely different perception of life. By the time of the RoS, Impetus had become a far happier person, and constantly exceptionally serene, often bearing more traits of a light Jedi than Dark. Even during combat in the Rite of Supremacy, Impetus constantly seemed to wear a serene smile, all thanks to her relationship with Ararin. But with some plans Impetus had the two would get closer still.

In the weeks preceding the Seventh Great Jedi War, preparations began on Siordan’a as they prepared for the week-long return of Impetus and Ararin. While there, there seemed no better time or place for the two to marry. The ceremony passed much the same way their relationship did, and had the newly married pair not had to return for the RoS award Ceremony, they would have happily stayed in Siordan’a for a long time.

Broken Bliss


" What in Revan’s name… What did I just see? Get me an answer. Now."
― Muz

Their peaceful time on Siordan’a was a clear contrast to what the couple faced upon their return to Scholae Palatinae. What started as a friendly award ceremony broke into full scale war as the Yuuzhan Vong chose that exact moment to strike at the core of the brotherhood in what was to become the Seventh Great Jedi War.

Scholae Palatinae retreated on board the Excidium, closely followed by the alien forces, the ship was boarded and ambushed from inside and out. The Korins never left each other’s side for the entire ordeal, supporting each other throughout, and spilled their fair share of alien blood between them.

Both survived without a scratch, after a week of fighting off alien invaders together Impetus and Ararin’s tandem combat seemed unstoppable, their marriage had strengthened even further the mutual love and faith in each other than made them such an effective pair. For their exploits in the war, Impetus was awarded a Sapphire Blade, which she gave to Ararin, after realising she had lost her prowess with swords after years of using just whip and lightsaber.

Just as the war began to die down, Impetus’ attention was brought by Archangel to another twi’lek girl. The Apprentice, Elena Vos, was searching for a master, and the job fell to Impetus. While their relationship started a professional one between master and student, it quickly evolved into a far more intimate one.

Profile

Appearance

Impetus still bears more the look of a dancer than a Krath Priestess. Despite being married, she still wears rather revealing clothing that pronounce her more beautiful features. Her slender body bears no marks of the many battles she has taken part in. Impetus’ appearance often draws her many glances from both genders.

From the bottoms of her flexible, slender legs, up through her voluptuous, curvacious torso, to her hypnotic, bright blue eyes and her cute smile, Impetus beauty defined from every angle.

Her clothing generally consists of loose, black robes, similar to those seen in the top-most picture. Her formal dress robes can be seen to the right. Impetus will always wear the stone tiara seen in all of the pictures on this page, and a shining blue gemstone around her neck: Kikalekki’s Sapphire.

Personality

Think of the stereotypical Krath. Manipulative, deceptive, insidious… Impetus is none of them. True to her word, Impetus is far from the usual Dark Jedi. She is exceptionally peaceful, never angry, and constantly wears a serene, happy smile. This attitude has rendered it difficult for her to strike a finishing blow.

Her sexual appetite has died own a lot due to her devotion with Ararin, and she no longer feels any urge to sleep with another man. However, this still doesn’t say much about her modesty

Inside, her heart burns with a fierce loyalty for Scholae Palatinae, and a fierce passion to overcome any challenge put before her, as she has done in the past. She would never, under any circumstance, betray her clan, or turn on any member of it.

While she does have her fair share of fears, including slavery, failure, and the death of loved ones, Impetus is notably calm, even playful, in the face of her own Death. She would easily trade her own life if it meant a close friend could live.

Strengths and Weaknesses

Strengths

  • Exceptional Agility
  • Extreme Flexibility
  • Unbreakable Willpower
  • Wealth of Academic Intelligence
  • Creativity in Combat
  • Confidence
  • Force Proficiency

Weaknesses

  • Incredibly low constitution
  • Pathetic physical strength

Hobbies, Penchants and Talents

Impetus’ most common hobby is her practice of dance. This is evident and useful in her combat, as her deceptive yet graceful liquid form is often too fast for her opponents.

She spends a lot more time meditating and exercising her Force proficiency than most of similar rank, and this has reaped it’s reward in the shape of her ability to use the Force mid-combat as second nature.

The rest of her spare time is usually spent either practicing her skills with whip and saber, or spending quality time with Ararin Korin.

Notable Possessions

The Dragon's Tail

The Dragon's Tail

The Dragon’s Tail is Impetus’ weapon of choice. The Tail is a segmented whip, with each segment containing an Adegan crystal, allowing the metal to heat to incredible temperatures. Through the work of Alchemy, the whip has become as flexible as a leather whip, even the shards themselves seem to bend when the whip is used at high speeds. It is worn around the waist like a belt at all times for easy access.

After a similar whip to this was destroyed in a duel with RevengeX during the Battle of Antenora, Impetus switched to Acclivis Draco. As she was to become RevengeX’s first personal guard in the Order of the Dragon, he thought it appropriate to have her made a replacement of her favourite weapon, fittingly named ‘The Dragon’s Tail’.

Armoured Robe

Impetus has still kept the same dull white robe given to her by Scept’ine, for both it’s sentimental value and practical use. The robes provide no restriction of movement at all, and have incredibly light bracers that can block a weak blade attack and low powered blasters. Also, the robes feature brown heatproof gloves that allow Impetus to hold The Dragon’s Tail’s segments while they still burn.

After a 15 year old Impetus, still by the name Tonal’la, was saved from slavery on Tatooine by Scept’ine, he offered her his robes to cover herself up, as she was still dressed in a translucent dancer’s outfit.

Crown of the Siordan'a royal family

An ancient crown of Siordan'a, passed down through each royal bloodline. The crown is rarely worn, and kept guarded in her quarters on Ryloth. The only occasions in which it is worn is on a return to Siordan'a. The crown itself resembles Impetus’ usual tiara, with the exception of ancient Twi’leki runes carved around it, with a slightly more elegant shape and design.

The crown was passed down the royal bloodline during the Second Exodus of Siordan'a.

Kikalekki's Sapphire

Kikalekki’s Sapphire is Impetus most treasured possession. The cobalt blue stone, said to have been created by Kikalekki herself, is about the size of her palm, and is worn around her neck at all times. For thousands of years it has been passed down through each monarch of Siordan’a.

For anyone except Impetus to touch the stone is strictly forbidden. After witnessing her cut the arm off a foolish soldier that tried to grab it, Dark Jedi Master Natth a’Niel appreciated how important the protection of the stone was to her, and offered her a backup protection. The Alchemical charms he placed on the stone are complex. For anyone except Impetus and Natth a’Niel, extreme willpower is required to merely lay a hand on the stone, the kind of willpower only a high end Equite or Elder could produce. Impetus has been satisfied with the protection it had been given, but is unaware of the backup enchantment. If anyone is powerful enough to touch the stone, it will produce a defensive Force Choke power, with all the power of Master Natth a’Niel, rendering near-certain death for the stone’s unfortunate victim.

The sapphire was passed down the royal bloodline during the Second Exodus of Siordan'a.

The Echo

Impetus' personal starfighter, the Echo, was passed down to her by her father. The ship is a Chir’daki, a traditional twi’lek ship, formed from the wings of an X-wing and the body of a TIE. The ship has been modified to include a space for a droid for auto piloting, to compensate for Impetus’ lack of piloting skills. The Scholae Palatinae logo has been painted onto the wings, and an internal hyperdrive for quick travel. The Echo doesn’t get a lot of use these days due to it’s incapability of carrying both Impetus and Ararin Korin.

The Echo was obtained after the Second Exodus of Siordan’a, and was passed down to Impetus from her father.

DragonFang

Designed by the Praetor to the Herald Raven, DragonFang is Impetus' custom saber. Named regarding her position as a Fang of the Dragon, it features a violet blade and a Scholae Palatinae logo near the emitter.

Feral Impetus

With extensive practice in her Clan's power of Animal Alteration, Impetus has developed a second form, pushing the power to it's limit. When Impetus uses the power, she will grow thick light brown fur over her yellow skin. Her hands will re-shape into paws, her nails growing into long, cat claws. Also, her face changes shape, her eyes narrow and start to emit light, her ears sharpen into points.

While still humanoid, Feral Impetus bears many features of a cat, in appearance and ability. Her agility is enhanced even further beyond the normal, and Augment Force usage as Feral Imp can allow her to be one of the fastest movers in the Brotherhood. Her physical strength and reactions are also slightly enhanced, however she also takes on certain animal instincts, and fights as someone with no training at all. Also, her connection to the Force is weakened, but not cut off completely. Since Impetus often wears bracers on her arms, Feral Impetus also bears this armor, although doesn't know how to use it effectively. Lightsaber skill is reduced to jumping out of the way and making wild swipes until the weapon flies out of her hands.

The first to fight Feral Impetus was Archpriest Scorpius, in the ACC section of the RoS. The immaculate twi'lek spontaneously turned and dived through a blood fountain, becoming Feral Impetus in mid jump. She proceeded to maul Scorpius to death with her claws in the winning death post.

Rituals of Siordan’a

Impetus goes through a small set of daily rituals everyday in service to her goddess. These primarily consist of short prayers morning and night, and she will often pray for divine protection before a battle. Often, her prayers are done within a circle of safe fire inside her own quarters. Many phrases such as Impetus uses, such as the expletive Kika’Chiri, originate from her religion.

According to the Siordan’an religion, the Force flows through the lekku of a twi’lek, and that any other species without them are a lesser form of life. While Impetus has learnt not to believe this, she does believe that the spirits of the dead take residence and give guidance in the lekku of their loved ones. She believes that her father’s guides her actions from beyond the dead.
