- "To underestimate me Arconan, is to turn your back on death itself."
- ―Xathia to Juda
Xathia dan Locut'Hal of House Caliburnus, Clan Scholae Palatinae. Student of Thran Occasus , and the lover of many. She is a strong character in the ACC and trains alongside fellow housemates Rasilvenaira StormRaven and Fionn. Despite her fierce temper and her recklessness at times, she is unwaveringly loyal to her house, clan and allies.
Character History
Peaceful Times
On Omwat in 7 ABY, Xathia was born as Nyx Quatremaine to a light Jedi father and ordinary mother. Seventh of seven children, she was treated strictly due to her strange brightly coloured eyes which was rumoured to be the result of an affair or rape from the raid of the light Jedi which had occurred about ten months before the girl’s birth. Her light hair was never cut, and reached her waist by the time she turned four. Though until her fourth birthday, her father was away in service for the Council, and upon his return home, she was locked away in the basement.
Her skin severely paled over the next year as her father did not believe that she was his offspring and was often subjected to having to watch her mother being beaten in front of her, scarring the young mind that this was the idea of love.
When she was let out of the basement during the day times at the age of five, she was willing to be shaped into the ideal daughter that her father wanted her to be and would usually do all the house chores that no one else would do just to try and please him. For the next two years, her life had no difference as her father refused to let her go to school as his opinion of Nyx was that she was only gutter worthy material.
After her eldest sister and brother had worked together and argued against their father’s decision to keep Nyx housebound, she was enrolled into the local school. She soon found herself in scuffles as she had never experienced species other then humans and often had her attention wandering to staring at the expanded culture, though she would not talk easily as she was not use to beings. Her teachers often despaired at her lack of attention, though she soon demonstrated strong Force ties and forced others away from her. Her sole friend was an Omwati by the name of Bryna for her time spent at the school. Her Force usage against those who teased and bullied her kept other children away from her.
Her free time was spent in junk yards to keep out of her father’s wrath which had grown into a cold hatred as the rumour was truth in his mind and his determination to hurt Nyx grew with each passing day as he was drowning in his addictions to andris spice and alcohol. She soon befriended the owner of the junk yard, Chi'thiac, who taught her how to create droids and kept her droid projects secret and known to anyone who stumbled over them as his.
Turmoil Erupts
- "She's worthless. She should be grateful she's alive and living under my roof."
- ― Chal Quatremaine about Nyx
Upon turning thirteen, the young and blossoming girl soon tired of evading her abusive and controlling father. Her siblings had all conformed to his ideals, and she had seen their vibrant, individual characters merge into one huge bland one. Her confrontation towards the head of the family was violent as punches and objects were thrown amongst the vivid language used and also the discovery of Nyx’s Dark Force came out as she tried to kill her father.
She was discarded onto the dusty streets with few belongings. Her first escape was to the junk yard where she finished the latest protocol K-3P0 droid, who was to become her faithful companion, Kai. However, hours after the droid had been tested and properly finished; the cabin was raided for the arrest of Chi'thiac. Nyx and Kai quietly escaped through a broken side panel and ran towards the alleys of the city.
Settled Status
- "She has the force strong within her. We will find this of use if we train her right and treat her right."
- ―Zadox to Chras and Inrel about Xathia
Nyx stumbled across the local group of street dwellers, many of whom were older then her. Although her reluctance to approach them, she knew of nowhere else to go. One particular teenage male took her under his wing and took care of her whilst she learnt the ways of the street life. Nyx soon became a main focus of the group as she kept unwanted beings away with the use of the Force. One of the eldest members of the group soon decided to rename the young girl Xathia, to shed her of the outside life she had and to prove she was now one of them.
A few weeks after Xathia had been induced into the group, a few of them were lurking around the local weaponry market. Stalls upon stalls of glistening metal blades lit up the eyes of them all. Her two companions were talking to the stall owner, making sure his back was turned as Xathia chose her dagger of choice and swiftly stole the custom made blade before dashing back to the street dweller’s alleyway. She soon learnt to fight and defend herself under the training and supervision of the elder members.
One particular battle with the head of the group at the age of fifteen left Xathia with a scar on her left cheek and also forced her to run away from the group with Kai. This battle left Xathia believing that love was not something to want.
Discovery of the Brotherhood
- "Why should I trust you?"
"Because you have no one else left"
- ―A conversation between Xathia and Fionn upon meeting
Xathia’s wanderings to nearby cities took over six months as she passed her sixteen birthday. The scar on her face was harsh and meant her face would usually be cloaked or covered to avoid other beings staring at her when all she wanted was to blend away into the crowds. Her small thieving went unnoticed as she stole to survive whilst travelling. Her last gem that was stolen was a standard Krath War Blade, which she was caught doing but managed to hide away.
Unknown to the young human, she was followed by a member of the brotherhood who had watched her use of the Dark Force to conceal herself from her chasers. His quiet talking and easing her into the idea of joining was a somewhat lengthy process of two months, at which she stayed in his accommodation and soon found herself agreeing to it.
She kept her name of Xathia, but adopted the stranger’s surname of dan Locut’Hal.
Profile
Appearance:
Xathia stands at what is considered to be an average female human height of 165 centimetres, although she is dwarfed by members of many other species with a general appearance of a timid young and inexperienced girl. Her bright green eyes often seem to sparkle out from under her heavy blunt fringe, which is a mid-brown tone with a natural copper tint. Her hair reaches her waist, and is usually found to be braided because of its length. Xathia's body has often been described as volumptus and curvy by other members, as her hips are broader then what is considered to be average, and the usual dark clothes she wears that follow her figure closely, pushing her breasts slightly against her chest. Her legs are shapely and well built and seem to fit with the rest of her body. Under Xathia's left eye, there is a scar that follows to the bottom of her cheek which was caused by her first serious battle with the chief of the street dwellers, it stands out due to the extreme paleness of her skin. Xathia usually wears her ACC clothes, consisting of a long sleeved grey t-shirt, a black vest and black trousers, as they do not restrict her movement, with a black belt on her waist where her weapons are kept.
Personality:
Xathia seems to have a split personality due to the voices that occupy her mind. On the one hand, she appears to be fearless, full of anger and bitterness, and a determination to batter anyone who dares to step into her path. Yet she is also young and inexperienced of much of life, and doubts and weaknesses frequently attack her. Her anger and bitterness is often vented during battles, training and any argument she enters. She can also appear to be a typical Krath in the ways that she is deceptive and manipulative despite that she is a Sith.However, when her Master confronts her in a lesson, she will often back off and listen to his words, she is also eager to listen and learn the ways of those who are more experienced then her.
Despite her long term relationship with Fionn, Xathia has a roving eye and will frequently go off with other members, although she is pickier then her earlier days in the Brotherhood where she would sleep with just about anyone.
Since moving from Clan Arcona, days after the Feud between Scholae Palatinae and Arcona, Xathia has felt a fierce loyalty develop inside herself for the clan that has seen her develop from an adolescent to an adult, and particular loyalty to those who have helped her do so. She defends the clan with her deepest honour.
Strengths and Weaknesses:
Strengths:
- Is quicker then she appears
- Good ability to use the Force despite her lower rank
Weaknesses:
- Useless with most weapons that she wasn't trained to use on the streets, especially blasters
Hobbies, Penchants and Talents
Xathia has an unusual hobby of archery which she uses to train her eyesight to close precision. She also finds it relaxing as it allows for her mind to completely focus on one thing only instead of wandering to other topics. She also has found that her attention span is incredibly long compared to most other humans and can therefore learn a lot about something in one go, instead of having it broken down over three or four days which additionally allows for her skills to be tuned over extensive periods.
Most of Xathia's spare time is spent training with Rasilvenaira for the Antei Combat Centre, or with Thran for her studies to get her to the next promotion.
Xathia's diet usually consists of a majority of non-meat and non-fish products since when she was a street dweller there was no where for the meat and fish products to be cooked, thus her stomach cannot handle such products after so long without it which also allows for her to keep her weight under control during her training.
Notable possessions
Boots
Although many do not always regard clothing pieces as special, Xathia guards her footwear with her life. They have lasted through her journey from when she left her house at thirteen and therefore she sees them as sturdy and reliable. The battered leather boots come most of the way up her calves and have protected her legs from many types of extreme weather and beatings. Her mother gave them to her shortly before she left the house since she could no longer fit into her old shoes, and the boots have grown with her feet.
Litch Blade
Since Xathia frequently moved around with the street dwellers, trying to make a profit whilst surviving, she needed a weapon to guard herself if ever she was cornered and needed to escape drastically. The handle of the dagger was altered as soon as Xathia joined the Brotherhood to make it as comfortable as possible for her to use and has become Xathia's preferred weapon in battle due to her extensive training in it from the age of thirteen. Her original forename and given name, Nyx Xathia, are engraved near the handle to ensure that it can always been identified.
Kai and Dai'Lic
The first of Xathia's Protocol bots is Kai, who was created in the junkyards of Xathia's hometown. He has stayed faithfully with his mistress from the moment she left home, and guided her through the streets, acting as a shield and companion when she had left the street dwellers, although Kai is restricted to a selection of 40 languages including Omwati and Basic since the internal programming limits the bot to understanding more languages, and Kai also retains the training for piloting ships which Xathia holds no desire to do or learn to do so, putting her trust into Kai. The other Protocol bot is Dai'Lic who was created whilst Xathia was staying with Fionn as he completed a mission for Arcona in a town on Omwat. Dai'Lic speaks forty million languages and is programmed to withhold essential information such as places where Xathia has stored items and codes to get into places, as well as the ability to pilot.
