Ka'Hava'Ve, known socially by the personal name 'Kave', is a Myresi (the native Human inhabitants of Kapsina before it was torched by Plagueis) Sith Warrior within House Plagueis. Illegally trained by Unus Domus before the Weequay's death, Ka'Hava'Ve currently serves as Aedile of House Plagueis.
Character History(in progress)
Childhood
Kave was raised as a desert nomad; his early years consisted of making sure he had enough water, hunting, raiding, and religious education. His tribe raised children communally, to keep it from splitting up from family disputes, and this varied education meant that he was trained in everything he needed to thrive in the desert. Still, he did have talents as a hunter and raider, and as he grew up that was where his education was focused. This education included religious training. While he provided lip service, the shamanistic religion didn't quite take hold with him. He knew that the city Myresi had an altered belief system, and few, if any, non Myresi shared the beliefs. While he eventually caved and stopped asking questions, his early doubt was well remembered. This, combined with his "Exactly as little as necessary" attitude, didn't sit well with the priesthood, and his formal advancement was heavily stifled due to the heavy mix of religion with his Tribal government.
Raider
Ka'Hava'Ves first time on a raiding party was when he was 14. Considered old to start by most standards of other tribes, but his own prefered to make certain they were well educated. Kave began to time his life around the raiding seasons, always making sure he went off for the first raid of every season. By his 19th year, he was leading small parties broken off from the main force. When he was 22 years old, he attacked a small settled Myresi military installation. Though a couple of his men were killed, he managed to capture it, which freed up his party to raid a small town. The loot split between eight raiders was rather high, and Kave established this as his standard method, using small parties to destroy miltiary and police installations so the civilians could be looted freely.
Eventually, his tribe began receiving tribute for the express purpose of staying away. Though he lacked any official rank, at this point he was acknowledged as a defacto warlord, as he had led raids on other nomadic tribes for a variety of reasons, usually waiting until raid season to wipe out their civilians. Wandering warriors began to follow him around, hoping to join in on battles. The success of his raids began to go to his head, and the 28 year old tribal began building an army to invade a full sized Myresi city, intending to establish himself as a petty king.
Meeting the Knight
Relations between Jusadih and the settled Myresi cities were strained at the best of times, however they did pay their taxes. The raiders were often left alone because local forces could deal with them enough and it would take a full generation of occupation and forced integration to remove the base issue. Still, when the technically Jusadain Myresi city states began to be put under threat, the JMR responded, sending troops with the intent of shattering the military and executing Kave. This military group was led by Unus Domus, the Directorate General of the Intelligence Directorate of the JMR. The operation was intended to be a quick strike against the nomadic force, which meant a comparatively massive amount of planning.
When it came to the actual battle, the JMR quickly routed the unprepared nomadic force, using a few fighter runs and a massive amount of snipers. Though casualties on both sides were minor at best, the confusion caused by the night attack caused the majority of the nomad forces to route. This led to a cascading effect, with more and more running simply from seeing others run. Kave was captured, but because the shot simply disabled him, he was brought before Unus.
Technically, the Weequay should have executed him. However, the Weequay sensed his Force sensitivity and gave Kave a choice; a shot at power that would make his ambitions to become a king be nothing in comparison, or a summary execution. Kave went with the former.
Plagueis (To be expanded)
On paper, Kave's first few months within Plagueis were as a POW. During that time, however, he was being taught by Unus in all matters of the Dark Side. Though he did share significant portions of his philosophy, Kave continuously railed against the idea of relying on emotion as a source for his power. He focused mostly on keeping himself cool under pressure, and always avoided rising to Unus' bait unless he knew he could draw blood from the Weequay.
After his quick and dirty education, Kave was sent off to Antei for basic training; he returned before much time had passed, similar to his teachers own illegitimate education by Kal Vorrac, and was quickly Knighted.
During the bio-weapon attack on Kapsina, Kave was one of the last ones off. Though it put him in danger, he did take the necessary steps to delay Unus for the express purpose of killing his former teacher. This was, partially, because Unus was one of a few people who knew how to get under his skin, and Kave would never miss the chance to kill him. However, Kave is well aware that no matter how much he tried to justify it, he just really hated the Weequay.
Personality
Kave is stoic and deeply religious, considering himself the last remnant of Myresi culture and religion. His mentality is well suited to the raiding style of existence that Plagueis has adopted. He does not consider himself evil, and one of the major parts of his belief is that good and evil are fabrications at best and lies at worst.
Kave actively worships the Dark Side; while he doesn't consider it a god, per se, he does consider it to be the ultimate guiding force of all of existence. His philosophical differences with the brotherhood have led to him considering them to be almost challenges placed by the Dark Side. Over time, it would be reasonable to assume that this will lead to a messiah complex.
Combat
Kave was trained as a skirmisher, raider, and hunter, and these are reflected in every aspect of combat.
Personal
Kave is fast, strong, durable, and brutal. During combat, he does not taunt, draw a fight out, delay, or anything of that nature. His sole concern is making sure the other person dies. With a lightsaber, he combines the basic form of Shii-Cho with the fluidity of Makashi. Though the combined style is raw at best, his speed and strength make him a frightening opponent in personal combat. At the same time, his abilities with the force are rather weak, and he is often unable to use them properly in standard combat. As a sort of a cheat, he has resorted to using his more offensive powers in concert with his typical melee combat, permitting him to keep in range of his most deadly asset.
When unarmed, each of his styles, despite being opposites, act in concern to make him a well rounded fighter, combining the pure strength of Wampa Do and Broken Gate, with the quick movements of Dulon and Paonga. Like his saber combat, when unarmed he operates on the principle of never giving his opponents a chance to rest, exploiting his usually superior physical nature for all its worth. In addition, his tactic of incorporating Force usage into melee combat comes into its own when he has no weapons. Though it often takes a second to prepare, combining an offensive usage of the Force, such as Shock or Harm, with a well aimed Wampa Do strike can put down weaker opponents easily, and cause much higher damage to stronger opponents. The preparation time, however, means that he generally avoids this unless he is sure he has time to get ready. The only one his consistently uses are the various speed powers
Team
When fighting as a part of a team, Kave is much more subdued in most circumstances. Rather than devoting his all to a single opponent, he uses his speed and stamina to help supplement as many members of the team as he can, or (if his side is outnumbered), taking on multiple opponents at once to relieve stress from his side. This is less out of care for members of the Brotherhood as it is a habit retained from his days as a raider, in which keeping one member alive could mean the difference of a fairly massive amount of loot.
Command
In the event that he isn't actively fighting alongside others, or is commanding several disparate groups and cannot be everywhere at once, Kave prefers large scale hit and run tactics (usually with several groups) focused on VIPs. Though he is well aware of the benefit of ground troops, he has always held the opinion that 100 well trained snipers are worth 10000 general infantry, and his experiences in the Brotherhood have only reinforced his opinion on quality versus quantity.
Appearance
A desert nomad by birth and raised as such in his early life, Kave's skin is heavily tanned and darkened, both from the sun and from genetics. Deprived of moisture, he has noticeable wrinkles despite his 28 years. This, combined with his full and dark beard, can make him appear several years older than he really is. His dark brown hair is often pulled back into a pony tail high on the back of his head, reaching down to just past the bottom of his shoulder blades. Much of the left side of his face is covered with tatoos, all of them holy symbols in reverance to the environmental spirits of the Myresi. The right side of his face used to contain the mark of his family, but he has had it removed and replaced with the Plagueis symbol; there is minor evidence of a tattoo removal, but it requires careful observation to pick it up. His eyes are a very sharp blue, and can be eaisly confused for grey under poor lightning conditions. His right hand contains a scar in the shape of an hourglass given to him by his teacher before he joined the Brotherhood. Finally, he is best described as lanky; his noticably large height and less than averge weight combine to form a very tall, very thin man.
Kave has a preference for loose fitting but well secured robes, enjoying the freedom of movement they provide, though he does take a minor issue with all the black enjoyed by much of the brotherhood and prefers brown.
Trivia
Kave has gone through about seven iterations before this one was finally decided on.
While his early military victories may seem impressive, it would be good to remember that this was being done mostly against city states who had to double their police force as a military group (or relied on militia)
