Personal Characteristics
Primary Objective: Katarina has been indoctrinated into the ways of the Sith, and seeks only the betterment of the Galaxy through the ideology of the Sith Order.
Secondary Objectives:
Katarina has taken it upon herself to excel in the second form of lightsaber combat.
Desires:
The Galaxy has seen too much war. Too much conflict, and too much indecision. Katarina's main desire is to rise through the ranks of the Sith, and prove to the Galaxy that one can be in tune with ones emotions, while still maintaining law and order. As such, she intends to position herself within the Arbiters of Justice, the Courts of the Sith Empire, where she can dispense justice with an iron fist.
Secrets:
She harbors secret desires to elope with a Jedi, but these feelings are like an anathema to her, and are thus heavily suppressed - on the few occasions where they are expressed, she masks her true thoughts with displays of what could be seen as anger.
Quirks:
Most folk are too... Loud for Katarina. She likes things to be organised, quiet, and in their place. Without a doubt the quickest way to earn her dislike is to be loud and messy - and moreso when it comes to disrupting and making a mess of her living quarters, which are at best, spartan. She is understated, especially for a Sith, but quietly views those that present themselves in a more informal or disorganized way to be creatures with an inferior mental capacity.
Mental Characteristics
Known Languages: Galactic Basic, Sith'ese.
Lures:
Katarina is drawn to anything orderly and calm - she is also a collector of aesthetically pleasing items that have some resonance with her as a person.
Savvies:
She is known within certain circles of the Sith for her ability to deal with her peers without having to resort to violence - an interesting trait given that so many of her fellow Acolytes see a more physical settling of issues to be the primary option. That said, while she rarely starts a fight she is more than capable of ending one, should the need ever arise...
Dislikes:
Any sentient creature that allows themselves to have no self restraint, or exists within a state of constant flux and chaos utterly bewilders Katarina.
Morality:
Lawful Evil
Temperament:
Kat is certainly on the more pessimistic end of the scale, and undeniably a pragmatic individual. In nearly everything she does, she will always look to cut to the chase and deal with reality as it is in the moment, as opposed to being an over-optimistic person who aims for consistent happy endings. As a result, she almost always has a contingency plan for the worst case scenario.
Hobbies:
Makashi has taken up the spare time in her life.
Spiritual Characteristics
Religion: She is a Sith, through and through. Specifically, however, she ascribes her use of the Dark Side of the Force as evidence that the theories of the Living Force are irrefutable fact.
Superstitions:
Kat is not a superstitious being. She has heard legends and stories of ancient Force Ghosts, and while she understands that a being strong enough is still capable of manifesting themselves after they have physically departed, she puts little stock in the idea of rituals.
Virtues:
Strangely, for a Sith, Katarina exhibits signs of both kindness and patience. However these virtues are often merely parts of her plans to subjugate and command those around her...
Vices:
Pride afflicts Katarina thoroughly - it is evident in the way she holds herself. The way she walks. Her tone when giving orders. It is even evident in the way that she uses her lightsaber. She will not openly brag, but certainly her sense of self-worth fuels her confidence at all times.
Application of the Force
Advantages: Katarina is highly proficient in the application of the core force powers. She has also displayed an aptitude for manipulating energy, such as projecting electricity from the tips of her fingers and the art known as tutaminis. In addition to this, she has more recently turned her attention to manipulating the minds of weaker willed individuals through the Force.
Restrictions:
Try as she might, she cannot heal with the Force. Nor does she have the aptitude for alchemy, Sith Spells or grand feats. Indeed, outside of the basic core powers and the few abilities mentioned above, her use of the Force is mostly for show, and mostly consist of tricks of the eye in order to deceive those around her.
Apparel
Equipment: Her clothing and equipment is as orderly and pragmatic as her personality – she carries nothing more on her belt than a commslink, a pouch with some credits, a few days of capsule rations a datapad and, of course, her lightsaber. Unlike many Sith, who opt for a Red crystal within their hilt, Katarina's is green - indeed, even the lightsaber isn't her original one, but instead was taken from the first Jedi she met in combat.
Wardrobe:
Katarina's clothing consists almost entirely of black synthleather combat suits, that have been specifically designed for military engagements. As a result they are hard wearing, tough to damage, and most importantly flexible enough to suit the demands of Lightsaber combat and the training regimen of a Sith. Interestingly enough, her overcoat bears the insignia of the Republic - along with her lightsaber, it is a memento from her first foray into a Republic held outpost, and again, like her Lightsaber was taken from the body of the first Jedi she dueled.
Social Characteristics
Emotional Stability: As per all Sith, Katarina treads a fine line between being cold and uncaring and being as unstable as a split atom, however she does her best to keep her emotions in check and under her control, so they can be used calculatingly as opposed to being there for others to make use of.
Humor:
Kat's sense of humor is as dark as her alignment to the Force.
Reputation:
Outside of being there being some mentions here and there of her being a Sith that does not resort to violence, Kat is yet to build a reputation for herself outside of the academies of the Sith.
Academia
Education: Katarina has been well trained by the Sith Instructors in the application of core force powers, and has a strong grasp of both Shii-Cho and Makashi. While she has only briefly touched upon the other forms of lightsaber combat, she understands all but the seventh well enough to hold her own against her peers - to the point where she can, on occasion, hold her own against some of the lesser Sith Warriors. She has also been tutored in military tactics, excelling specifically in tasks to do with urban theaters of war. Her training was presented to her across various planets, warzones, and academies, where she has been tutored in Sith'ese and deemed skilled enough to be accepted into the main body of the order.
Study Habits:
At least three to five hours of every day is set aside for her lightsaber training where possible, with an additional three hours every second day spent honing her application of the the Force. As a result of this, Katarina is well versed in lightsaber combat, but falters when it comes to more strenuous applications of the Force. She also sets aside ten hours a week to study an aspect of the Sith Empire, be it history, military tactics, or the modern face of the Order.
