CHARACTER OVERVIEW

QJJDEp3.png
​
Naturally gifted in deception, subterfuge and manipulation, Kära is a skilled mentalist and was raised to detect falsities in others. She is naturally stronger in aspects of the Force such as Telepathy and Mental Manipulation, given that she was raised on the Shadow World of Umbara. Alongside this is her exceptionally keen eyesight, owing to the Umbaran's superior ocular strength which permits them to see in varying degrees of light and darkness, as well as UV and visual hindrances such as fog. However, ocular superiority only goes so far: her sensitive eyesight is as much a hindrance as it is a blessing. If her eyes are suddenly exposed to a bright light she will become disorientated and dazed, causing her to suffer in an almost photosensitive-epileptic manner.

Owing not only to her heritage but also her specialised training, Kära is exceptionally gifted where her mind is concerned. She can bring about bouts of paranoia in an individual, submit them to her will, have them perceive that which is not there or give them vague impressions enough to direct their words, thoughts and actions. Moreover, her mind is constantly protected by barriers, with back-up procedures in place should someone manage to break through. Used as a tool for over a decade by her family, she has honed these skills to near-perfection... However, the deceptive nature of her homeworld, intensified by the ongoing wars of the Galaxy, have left her paranoid in her own right.

Having a particularly military-based upbringing, Kära cannot abide weakness in an individual, expecting them to find ways around their flaws or openly confront them as she herself must do; in truth it is weakness within herself that she truly cannot stand. Substances such as alcohol she abhors, viewing them as an extension of man's weakness, and like Order a lack of weakness is something she strives to create within the Galaxy... Even if it is not necessarily what the people of the Galaxy themselves wish for. She sees the Galaxy as unruly and at times she can be a little overzealous where her ideals are concerned. It can also leave her with an aura of superiority, as false as this may be, which does not always bode well with others. This can, however, transfer itself positively to give her a regal feel about her person.

A minimalist, Kära is not one for hording items or showing off her wealth, reminiscent of her military days. If she cannot take something with her where she goes, she often feels as though she has very little need for it. Sometimes this does not necessarily end well, as some resources are made to be set in stone, but she will often find ways around the inconvenience. Traveling from one Universe to another has only solidified this, being that she now has nothing to her name - at least for the time being. It has also left her out of touch, being that the Galaxy is much different from her own. With history and Galactic powers changing, amongst other things, she has somewhat lost her place in the world.

Being that this Universes' Kära is deceased, this rendition is even more of a ghost than her predecessor. The holo-net, and various Galactic Records, are full of wonderful images and fun facts on individuals throughout the Galaxy... But such is not the case where Kära is concerned. From as soon as she was able, Kära had taken great care to cover her tracks, remain out of the view of holo-CCTV and to keep all information on herself tightly concealed. Even those who know her in person often do not have enough to trace her by. If one was to search for "Kära Vi'dreya", the only information it would bring up is her birth on Umbara, alongside a record which states her death. Thus this new Kära effectively has a clean slate from which to build upon.

Due to the war-torn state of the Universe she came from, Kära is a little bit more skilled where combat is concerned and she is even capable of using a blaster if required. Lacking any of the contacts she previously had in her own Universe, or any that Kyros had, has isolated her considerably, and taken away the largest part of her power - her influence.

STARSHIP
PRE-ROLEPLAY HISTORY

Lady Kyros' Beginnings

Kära was born the younger child of an Umbaran and a Human, upon the planet of Umbara, a world constantly cast in darkness. Before her birth, her parents were forced to part, and Demia, Kära's mother, immediately found a fellow Umbaran. While not her real Father, Kära was raised to view him as such. He already had a daughter, who Kära likewise was raised to believe was her sister. The family were moderately high up in the caste system, but nowhere near the level by which they would be eligible to leave their shadow-lands in search of somewhere brighter. When she was only three her older, and only, sibling "Zarathustra" disappeared from their home and Umbara in general.

Distraught over the loss of their daughter, and harassed by members of their society over the absence of a child deemed "unsuitable to be allowed off the planet", or in simple terms "too low on the ladder to ever make it", the family fell into decline. Kära's Step-Father lost what little honour he still retained, spending prolonged lengths of time away from the family and, during the brief moments he was home, partaking in acts of violence against his wife. Kära, presumably too young to understand, watched from the sidelines each time this happened, and as her years increased so too did her understanding. They slipped further and further down the castes, losing all power and respect their family had earned over many generations.

One evening, when Kära was only six, her mother came to her and took her into her arms. "Sweet child" the Umbaran said, completely out of her usual nature, "This world is cruel, the Galaxy crueler, and so few survive its horrors." As she spoke the woman took up a vial and held it in her free hand. "And I won't lose another child to the chaos." At this point her mother had leaned in and whispered "I will save you from all heartache, all pain, before it begins..." And slipped the top off the vial. A moment later the door was thrown open. Luckily for Kära her wayward step-Father put a sudden end to her mother's idea of 'redemption', earning her another beating, yet even so the words and actions of both parents began to play on her mind. Cruel... The little girl would think, often, as she watched the world around her, until she began to see it for herself. Suddenly only one thing was on the little girl's mind. Zara.

How she managed it Kära didn't know, but she realised how small a child of her age really was. Slipping onboard a freighter which transported goods between worlds the little girl escaped Umbara in search of her sister, all the while she became slightly more unpredictable in her nature while her mother's words continued to ring at the back of her mind. Not the beatings she had bore witness to, or the attempt on her life by her mother, but the words. Truth be told, she seemed utterly unphased by the physical actions. She made it to Maramere where her connection with Zarathustra seemed stronger, yet she was at a loss. Such a small person could not survive long alone, in a place they were foreign to. She had no money, or worldly possessions, and her only companions were an insistent little hound and the presence of what she described to be a "flowing river"; she couldn't see it, touch it, sense it in any way but through feeling it's ever-present force.

Lady Kairos' Beginnings

In an alternative universe a child was born, to a world of strife and misery - plagued by war and misfortune. Her parents were a pair of Umbarans, who resided in the Upper Castes of Umbara. Despite their ability to leave the world, and even for them to send their only child away to train upon the realisation of her Force potential, the Shadow World was considerably safer than much of the Galaxy which was torn apart by war. Shielding the child, Kära was raised in the extremely deceptive society and groomed towards aiding in the battles which threatened their world.

Pushed through Umbara's Military Corps when she reached her teenage years, Kära proved an able Soldier with a keen shot; yet more than this, it was during this time that her real potential was discovered by someone outside of her household. Immediately sent away to an Academy, she was put through grueling trials in order to make her a tool for the war effort; despite the strength of her mind, which she personally trained, their focus was on her capabilities with a lightsaber - although she was able to choose the route that she took with it.

Opting to study Makashi, much to the displeasure of some of the senior officers who wanted Djem So power houses, Kära was able to prove her worth in more ways than just brute strength, and they welcomed her into further programs to enhance her mind, and also her leadership skills. She rose through the ranks once she was reintroduced as a soldier and led numerous skirmishes against the Republic, becoming an asset for both the Empire and the Sith respectively. During one such assault, Kära massacred a host of Ewoks including a Jedi Knight, and her ascension to Sith Knight was solidified.

Over the years, with the conflicts still taking place, Kära earned a name for herself on the battlefield; she had a smart, tacticians mind and was an amiable leader who inspired those that followed her. Taking on several students, and teaching them on the field above all else, she gained a great sphere of influence around her person and was soon able to retire from the battlefield in favour of guiding from the sidelines. Ascending to the role of Sith Lord provided her with yet more responsibilities, yet surprisingly also a little more time. She began research into various different aspects of the Sith, and soon her military input dwindled in favour of truly taking up her mantle as a Sith. Bestowed with a title befitting her position, Kära became known as Darth Kairos, or she who transcends time, with the Dark Lord who gifted it to her informing her of its prophetic importance.

Of course, the Lady Kairos did not fully comprehend its meaning until it was too late...

I did help do a bit of raising of this universe's version of you. Would be glad to meet with you and discuss what's happened here. Maybe even find out what happened to my counterpart from your universe.
