CITRA TARKIN

Age	27
Species	Human
Gender	Female
Height	1.73m
Weight	65kg
Force Sensitive	Yes

PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION

Generally conservatively dressed, in a gown or uniform, Citra tries to be impeccably presented. She has long auburn hair, which she will colour from red to brown for a season or two on a whim. She will tie it back while in uniform, and most of the time while in a gown or suit. Her light brown eyes may appear soft and calm, but their cool calculating stare can wither. Blessed with elegant features, full lips, and a little, well muscled body, she has the look of someone who won the genetic and financial lottery.

INVENTORY

As a wealthy public figure, Citra can afford anything she wants, and doesn't need to carry anything herself. She is generally accompanied by an aide or assistant, rarely a droid, usually a sentient being, as well as a personal security detail. These men and women are loyal House Tarkin soldiers, and secure her person at all public events.

PERSONALITY AND BELIEFS

Raised and trained as an exile of Tund, Citra is a true believer in the teachings of the dark side. She is ruthless, manipulative, and furtive. She practices deception in every action and word, presenting a calculating corporate facade to the public. She is sworn and dedicated to fulfilling her master's last command even if to the end of her life. Though she works constantly to obtain power, never does she lose focus on her primary and true task.

STRENGTHS

Citra is both intelligent and well educated, classically, scientifically with a doctorate in engineering and another in economics, as well Force lore, history, culture and philosophy.
Strong in the Force, she has trained for twenty years under the tutelage of her Master and earned the rank of Sith Knight.


WEAKNESSES

Citra is a cold, cynical personality, and does not suffer fools gladly, nor does she do well in social situations where she is required to exercise politeness and civility.
Having had little contact with parents whom she had barely come to know, no one but her Master her entire adolescent and adult life, and now only her brother, who is for all intents and purposes her slave, Citra has no friends, no family, no one but herself and the Force.


HISTORY

Citra was born to wealthy parents on Eriadu, and spent her early years in the family citadel being raised among other local children. Her talent with the Force manifested early, and with some trepidation her parents contacted a great uncle, who arranged an invitation for the girl to attend a Tund Academy. Citra was taken from her home age 7 and began her training period at a hidden academy located in Sith space. Despite her young age, her family had done what they could to prepare her for survival, and she held little fear of what awaited.

While attending the Academy she lived and trained with the other students, made up of many different species, not all of which she recognized, even with a superior early education. When she was personally selected by a Master for personal training, her parents were contacted and told she had not been successful in admission to the Order, but had secured a position in administration with a reputable galactic corporation. In this way her family would not expect to see her again for some time.

Her Master, the Tund Lady Yashra, was in truth an apostate of the Order who had chosen to follow the Dark Side, and had imparted to Citra her knowledge and experience, expecting in return abject submission and servitude. This was Citra's apprenticeship, and she strove every day to gain the approval and respect of her master. There were daily trials and tests, verbal, physical, and more. She learned always to be ready, to treat even sleep as a precious luxury indulgence. The absence of pain was a treasure in itself. Even as she served her Master, Citra had to gain a public education, and secured various degrees up to and including her double Doctorate in Economics and Physics. The time afforded to her for study was used well, as a respite from other training. Citra put to use the profit from the sale of several of her formulas for hyperdrive fuel efficiency to found her own engineering consulting company, Outland Solutions.

Unlike many apprentices, Citra survived her apprenticeship and was granted the role of Knight by her Master. This role afforded the young Tund a degree of freedom in her daily activities. Part of her training involved maintaining her cover as a businesswoman in her public persona, and Citra had excelled in the public career as she had in her Tund training. Through a combination of intelligence, initiative, work, manipulation and Force techniques, she had acquired control of the boards of several companies which she sat on. Her personal wealth exceeded a billion credits, and the value of her stocks and real estate holdings were tenfold that amount. This paled in comparison to the corporate accounts that she had personal or indirect control of, able to manipulate entire markets.

Having succeeded all her Master's expectations, there came a meeting on the world of Manaan, where Lady Yashra informed Citra that she was dying. Her final command was to seek and train and apprentice of her own, then and only then could she call herself Master. The old Sorceress gave over this final order, freeing Citra Tarkin from her service. Taken upon with her task, and focused on it to the exception of all else, Citra took passage back to Eriadu, where her youngest brother, Seth, was just embarking on his own journey. She was now experienced enough to feel the will of the Dark Side, and to follow it when and where she chose. She used her personal company, Outland Solutions to cover her travels.

In a short time, Citra reconnected with Seth, and he agreed to become her new apprentice. Together, the two maintained their public personas in the corporate and political world, while delving into the truths and secrets of the Dark Side as Citra imparted the knowledge she had been gifted with by her own Master. As representatives of the Tarkin family they were expected to further the family interests, and worked to do that financially and politically. This presented an excellent cover for their roles as Master and Apprentice. Seth was a physician and CEO of Tarkin-Wessex Automed Transport which provided droid ambulance and paramedic services. Citra sat on the board of Tarkin Interstellar Transport, which held Seth's company as a direct subsidiary.

Basing themselves on Coruscant, in the heart of the Galactic Alliance, the two siblings continued to do their work.
