Public Calling All Bio-Alchemists and Geneticists

[Ashin Cardé Varanin]

A very long time ago, I learned the secret of taking a new body when I died. I've had occasion to use that secret half a dozen times. At one point I turned to Val'Ryss Zankarr, Darth Hauntruss, who made me a body that served me well, but Val'Ryss is long dead. I need another one. I sacrificed a great deal to resurrect my wife, including my health. My current body has only a few years to live. And while I have the resources to clone myself easily enough, I'd like something better.

Today, great alchemists live in three major Sith factions and any number of other places, and secular genetic science has grown commensurately. So I cast my fate to the winds. Whoever can craft me the best new body will earn an impressive reward, and my personal gratitude. I waive all old grudges - except, of course, for those few who were complicit in my wife's torture and death. This contest of sorts is open to anyone who can provide what I need:

• The body must appear reasonably humanoid and not particularly grotesque to humanoid eyes, for my family's sake.
• The body must not have any hidden surprises - genetic triggers, concealed diseases, obedience compulsions, and so forth. I employ and associate with some excellent prophets and other specialists; I'll know. Don't waste my time and your life.
• The body must have the capacity for Force-sensitivity and nothing that would prevent me from following the dark side, as I've done for many years now.
• The body must possess a trigger finger.

These are my only criteria. Surprise me.

OOC/ What I'm looking for is a Codex Species submission - either a new one or something that already exists. If you think Ashin would be interested in being a Sithspawn or special subspecies you've cooked up, by all means send her an IC message in this thread.

To Ashin Cardé Varanin , Master of the Pomojema and woman of many names.

Your ring has proven to be a delight, not least on account of its ability to be worn without a body, but your quite frankly irresponsible decision to widen the gap that connects the Dreaming Dark with the Nether proper less so. That said, I will get down to business.​

As you may well be aware, I am hardly a master of bioalchemy by any definition, though I have had some success with simpler projects. Nevertheless, my associates and I are in possession of various thorough records originating from the late Darth Prospero, among others. After consulting our records, I believe I have found a form that may suit your fancy - the Mesinis'Kaita, or Sith Changeling.​

• These beings are not only clearly humanoid but also shapeshifters on par with the Clawdites (More drastic adaptations are likely not possible, that remains the domain of Shi'ido, Doppelgangers, and the like.), affording one some flexibility where anonymity is ideal.​
• They are, by design, optimised for exceptional reaction times, bodily flexibility, and impressive speed - all valuable attributes for any Sith. As an added benefit, their senses are quite evolved, in particular their eyesight, which combines many of the better qualities of other species.
  • It should be noted that they could be described as burst/ambush predators, as opposed to the endurance-based approach for which humans evolved. They are also a bit less durable, but I imagine your famed proficiency for Force-based protection would compensate.​
• They can be considered superior to humans in the social arena, notably in their ability to read body language and discern emotional states. As this is only partially a result of differences in the senses/brain, results may vary without sufficient training.​

Should my proposition be of interest to you, my associates and I have access to the requisite facilities and expertise to create a suitable body within a medium-to-short timeframe. Less if compromises are made out of urgency, more if you have any particularly unusual requests.​

Best regards,
Kal

Heavily encrypted and AI monitored communication - RE: Ashin Cardé Varanin

For your consideration, and don't tell anyone, especially Kaine or Braxus that I'm showing you these since they might realize I didn't try my hardest making their bodies, I can send you an Arika Kitiuras, or a Soul Puppet if you will to the location of your choice if you are intersted. I'll have a detailed list of the modifications done to create it in the attached file.

P.S. At some point, I would love to come visit that academy of yours.

Lady Arcanix-

I'm honored. The material you've sent is extraordinary.

Much as I hold no love for the Sith Empire, I was sorry to hear of the attack on the Sorzus Academy. I'm unclear on the extent of the damage, but as one instructor to another, you have my sympathies and my support. I've always been clear with my people that, so far as biological alchemy goes, the Sorzus Academy is the gold standard we should strive to beat. Ours may be the only two genuinely selective dark side academies in existence. The Pomojema would be honored to host you at your convenience.

While I'm still considering and anticipating proposals for a new body or bodies, be assured that I'm taking yours extremely seriously.

Kal-

If you're referring to me breaching the portal to extract you and a few dozen others, including my daughter, from the single deadliest place in the Netherworld - you're welcome.

That aside, your proposal catches my interest and stacks up well. I'm considering and anticipating other proposals, but I take yours seriously on its merits.

Best wishes,
ACV

Lady Arcanix-

My situation has escalated and I've been forced to take interim measures. I'd like to accept your offer but, for the time being, I plan to keep the Arika Kitiuras in stasis as soon as it's available. I anticipate the next couple of years may be quite hard on the body I take, and I want your excellent work as my long-term solution thereafter.

If you'd be willing to join me on the Pomojema to discuss what you'd like to see in return, I can send you our flight plan.

Best wishes,
ACV




Kal of Kaas-

My situation has escalated and your proposal is, so far, the best of those that can be ready immediately. I'd be pleased to purchase a female Mesanas'Kaita body.

Knowing your interest in Force-crafting, I'd like to propose a payment that may interest you. For many years, I shared exclusive access to the legendary Dark Forge of Aza'zoth with the alchemist Cerita Sarova. Since Sarova left public life, I am the Forge's sole custodian. Its location is a closely guarded secret and I reserve the right to move it again, but for now I'm content to share. I've attached the coordinates.

Best wishes,
ACV

Send me the coordinates and I'll be there, maybe with a little extra for your curiosity,

Your situation is understandable and I will adjust accordingly; since you do not seem to require a truly custom order (e.g., one which resembles a body of your preference in its true form) delivery should be prompt. After consulting our records I have been able to procure one originally intended for another customer, one who will just have to wait a bit longer. A courier has been placed on standby to deliver it to a location of your choosing.​

As for your suggested compensation, I enthusiastically accept - the chance to study and make use of an artefact of such significance is a rare treat.

Best regards,
Kal
