Now You Know Her...

Her name is Syntari Bastiayn, a young woman of Bpfasshi-Umbaran blood and eighteen standard years of age. Her iridescent green eyes gleam with intelligence and ever-changing emotion, while the hint of a smirk on her face is biting at first glance. A hacker of exceptional skill and a Krath who is well-versed in the art of battle, she devotes the majority of her time to learning any and all subjects in the galaxy. Intelligent and confident, quick-witted and cuttingly sarcastic, she has a subtle flair for the dramatic and is personable in nearly all circumstances. She moves with the litheness of a feline hunter and the poise of a talented warrior, her bearing suggestive of knowledge of the universe's secrets as she drifts through throngs of beings with all the aloofness of an observer of a case study. Her attitude would suggest amusement in the examination of sentient beings--though she can be quick to anger and easily irritated with people in general, she sees all of it as a chance for further learning. Loyal to a fault and, at times, overly cautious, she is headstrong and protective of those residing in her inner circle of confidants. As a rule she surrounds herself with people she views as intelligent and capable of acting with some degree of common sense. However, she can be just as goofy as anyone else but does stop at being unnecessarily stupid. She is willing to speak her mind in nearly any situation and truly does not worry about offending anyone; if they choose to be offended, so be it--the only exception is superiors and her Master. For those she judges worthy she would give her life, without hesitation or regret.

Now You Don't...

You've seen her in those contemplative moods, right? The ones where she looks at you with those vivid eyes full of some intense, hidden emotions and says nothing, sometimes for hours or even weeks? Or in those moments when she is deep in the explosive currents of rage and seems able to destroy anything in arms reach? When she becomes the predator and is not, for once, the prey of the universe? No one knows why these occur, why she is susceptible to them, or what can break her out of them. When she finally comes back to herself it seems to be completely random, and most often times it is when she is alone and by herself that she snaps out of it. Her episodes are rare and, generally, events that she tries to keep to herself and not make public--though it is written here, details are not explained. For that reason she is more secretive than she has to be.

When In Battle...

When on the field of battle, however, she is entirely different. Even to those she sees as enemies she is not as hostile as others, preferring instead to goad her opponents with taunts or jibes to various ends. To her close friends she will still not hesitate to cause damage or to even kill, if circumstances allow it, as she would expect and even demand the same from them. In the case of confidants, and especially to those she respects very highly, she is very polite and refrains from making fun of them or otherwise humiliating them, though again she will not hesitate to maim or kill her opponents no matter who they are. She shows little to no mercy, though she is not reckless in the way she fights; she is cool, calm, and collected, and rarely ever rushes headlong into battle.

Character Info

History

Syntari has always been known to be ingeniously sly, a half-breed of quick wit capable of acts of stoic horror and, at times, crafty manipulation. A native of the Bpfassh system, she was born to a Bpfassh father and, oddly enough, an Umbaran mother rather high up in the social structure. From birth it was said she was an odd child; though frighteningly quiet, she was never soft in her silence and early on acted heavily superior to all others, including her parents. Her father was linked, through his own lineage, to the cult of Dark Bpfassh that attempted to take over the system, and it was through him that she gained her connection to the Force. He left both her and her mother behind when she was barely a few months old, and thus was temporarily saved from Syntari's awakening to the art of murder. At ten standard years of age she killed her mother and several other families that lived nearby, taking any objects of worth and stealing a respectable sum in credits before leaving the system. From there she acquired her own ship, the Scimitar, and at thirteen standard years of age she met up with soon-to-be Brotherhood member, Cyril Nighthunter. The two established themselves as both hackers and bounty hunters, and though those careers did not last very long they each managed to amass more credits, with Syntari keeping most of hers in separate accounts. When she was fifteen and Cyril sixteen standard years of age, the latter became a member of the Dark Jedi Brotherhood and the two went their separate ways. Just before Syntari ended up joining the Brotherhood, she went back to her native system in search of any records of her father, and in the process learned that he had fathered another child just a year before her own conception. It was on the path to hunt him down that she discovered that Cyril Nighthunter was her half-sister, and her father subsequently killed. After that, it was only a matter of time before she and her former best friend met up once more, and this time it ended with the Sadowan's death. The Zeltron died on Nar Shaddaa, and from there Syntari became a Brotherhood member--since then, she has not told anyone about what happened between her and Cyril. Syntari keeps her past relatively hidden, except for what is written here, mostly out of the opinion that it isn't all that important, though her mood swings do hint at harsh incidents in her youth. All those be warned, however, who would cause harm to those she considers friends and allies.

In the Brotherhood...

Not much is known about why she came to the Brotherhood or how she even came to know of it; for most of her life, Syntari claimed to not have knowledge of her Force capabilities. It is noted that Cyril Nighthunter maintained some contact with the Bpfasshi after her arrival in the Brotherhood, and perhaps that is where her knowledge comes from. Shortly before the Herald's mission in Socorro, he was approached by the newly-arrived Syntari and given an unusual "gift": the lightsabre of his former apprentice, the deceased Nighthunter, along with the news of her supposed death. Shortly after that Syntari was made a member of the Brotherhood and placed in Independent House Taldrayn with Shikyo Keibatsu as her Master, under whom she is currently studying and greatly respects. Usually she keeps out of public view, interacting mostly with her Master with little to no exceptions. The more her power grows, however, the more people she will eventually speak to.

Weapons

Her katana is a modified replica of the swords used thousands of years before the Battle of Yavin, with a blade made of beskar instead of durasteel. Despite having an armory sabre with which she is proficient, her katana is her main weapon of choice and, in her eyes, the more reliable of the two. If ever she has the choice she will fight with it and nothing else, as she views blasters as "poorly designed and impersonal machines", and even lightsabres aren't full extensions of the self. The blade is a bit shorter than the average lightsabre length and for a short time can stand up to hits with said weapon, though the beskar would have to be replaced or refined every few weeks to keep it in decent shape. She takes great pride in her sword and is often to be found polishing it or sharpening it in the solitude of her room. (Image to come).
