Edaline Black
Character
EDALINE BLACK
NAME: Edaline Black (Formerly Darth Stiss)
FACTION: Unaffiliated
RANK: Merchant
SPECIES: Mikkian
AGE: Late thirties to early forties
SEX: She/Her
HEIGHT: 5'5
WEIGHT: 130 lbs
EYES: Light blue
HAIR: Turquoise with grey tips
SKIN: Turquoise
FORCE SENSITIVE: Force dead
STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES (Required: 2 Weaknesses Minimum) :
Duelist(+): Amongst her peers, Edaline was one of the better duelists, mastering the blade and multiple saber styles, making for a versatile style able to be applied across the board to different combat situations
Force dead(+,-): She's found this to both be a blessing and a curse. Due to being force dead, Edaline cannot be sensed by force users. This allows for successful surprise attacks and ambushes, which make up for the lack of force powers. However, she is completely cut off from the force, unable to sense or use it.
Knowledge(+): While no longer able to make use of it, Eda still remembers the Sith ways, and how the force powers work, allowing them to exploit any weakness or opening her opponent shows.
Tendrils(+): A natural ability for all Mikkians, her head tendrils are highly sensitive, able to sense things such as humidity, temperature, magnetic direction, and radiation. This radiation detection is sensitive enough that Mikkians can "see" light and dark, although their eyes are still their primary visual organs. Edaline's head of tentacles is no different. she also uses these tentacles to hear.
Helpless(-): Should a Mikkian lose their tentacles, it would be a major blow, as it would render them partially blind and completely deaf until the tendrils grow back. Thus, Edaline must always prioritize protection of the top of her head.
Not what she once was(-): Unfortunately, without the force, Edaline is subject to gravity, amongst other things. While still limber and acrobatic, she's unable to do the large flips and jumps a force user would be able to make use of, leaving her grounded. She is also unable to deflect projectiles as easy, the force sensitivity needed to do that being long gone. Her overall lightsaber combat prowess has suffered as a result. She can still deflect bolts from a semi auto blaster, but is unable to keep up with rapid fire weaponry.
BIOGRAPHY:
Not much is known of Edaline's early life. She was but a slave taken into the sith academy when her force sensitivity was discovered. Before that, she was no one. Wanting to make a better life for herself, she dedicated herself to the academy, never wanting to lose freedom again. Edaline did everything in her power to keep from returning to slavery. This fear is what fueled her power in the dark side. Anger, desperation, it made her a force to be reckoned with as she travelled up in the academy pecking order. Of course, her crafty ways also aided in her survival. Edaline was far from the most powerful sith at the academy, amongst the students or otherwise. She always had a plan to make up for her weaknesses, constantly exploiting the weakness of her foes to come out victorious, for it was victory or death.
The lords at the academy eventually had their eyes drawn to Edaline. While not the most potent of the apprentices in force power, she was still out performing said apprentices by a decent margin. Her dueling skills were already something to be feared, and she knew how to read and exploit weaknesses the moment they appeared in their foe. The ability to sense and crush weakness was a desired trait in an apprentice. It wasn't long before a lord took up the role of teaching her.
Most of her training was force focused, and was grounded in using fear and pain in order to make her learn powers proficiently. Edaline hated every moment. Every force lightning shock, every lightsaber wound, every force choke. But she learned as time went on, and with that time, fear turned to rage. Rage turned to treachery. By the time Edaline was in her twenties, she was amongst the most successful of the academy graduates. However, she got the title of sith lord differently from the others. The title of lord was given after her master's head rolled. It's not exactly known how it was done. There was a meeting of lords at her master's fortress. A gathering to talk about the ongoing politics of the empire. Covered in blood, Edaline sat in her master's seat at the discussion table, drawing angered and irritated looks from the lords in attendance. Edaline simply stated, "My master is otherwise...occupied. Forever." Guards were sent to check and sure enough, the sith cycle of master and apprentice had been fulfilled.
Edaline took her master's place amongst the lords, and took up her former master's lightsaber as a trophy, as hers had been broken in the battle where her master perished. From there on proceeded to be what Edaline considered the glory days. Treasure, conquest, riches, luxury, and glory in victory as she enacted the will of the emperor. However, not all good things last. It all began with a missing patrol, a sith lord amongst them.
Edaline went to investigate. The group had gone silent on Felucia, yet their distress beacon was still pinging. Edaline doesn't remember much of what happened after the landing. She found the bodies. All of them except the supposed Sith lord. It was as she crept through the jungle that she was ambushed. She remembers them, those orange eyes of the very Sith lord she had been looking to save peering into her soul as she was grabbed, the hands seeping energy from her body as she passed out. When she woke up, her ship was gone. She was trapped on the savage jungle planet for days, most of the energy from the force seemingly removed from her body. It was only after a year or so later of scavenging in the wilderness that she found a crashed ship from the old republic era. After just barely managing to get it functional again, she finally reached the stars once more, her goal clear. Retrieve her power, and end he who took it.
