FORCE SENSITIVE: Yes
STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES (Required: 2 Weaknesses Minimum) :
- Strengths
- Loyal: Khet is a man of his word, bound by honor and virtue. Those he counts as true friends and allies know him best, know his secrets and he knows theirs. He is wary to swear oaths, because when he does, he keeps them. To his crew and his friends, Khet would walk through the void of space for them.
- Honorable: Khet was trained from a young age to abide by a great many tenets of conduct. Though he might stretch the bounds of these ideals in the course of his work, he ultimately aims to only work good into the universe.
- Centered: Through years of meditation and training, Khet is largely neutral in the Force, and is able to shut off his presence within it on command, 'cloaking' himself from other users of the Force. He is also adept at several Jedi and Sith techniques, as well as many Dathomiri Spells.
- Weaknesses
- To a Fault: His loyalty can, and has been, used against him. Those he values are always put ahead of himself and his own personal honor, and he has been injured and defeated because he chose to protect those he was loyal to over gaining victory.
- Reserved: He is difficult to know, and even close friends are held at arms length. There are only a handful of people he trusts implicitly, and even fewer who know his full history. Not only is this in part because of his sense of loyalty - distancing himself from those who might be used against him, placing fewer people in danger - but also due to the constant call of the Dark Side he feels. Unless pressed, he will not use the fullest extent of his powers and skills. This causes him to prolong a fight longer than it might have needed, forcing him to rely on considerable stamina to whittle an opponent down.
- Sleeping Sarlaac: Khet's single greatest fear is losing himself to the Dark Side of the Force. He uses caution when employing Dark Side powers, and keeps his emotions in check when embattled. The cold and ferocious monster he sees in visions is that of a Sarlaac, the Darkness and hunger inside that threatens to consume him should he ever stray too far into the Pit.
Khet doesn't know if he could come back from entering that pit, or worse... what could come back out instead.
APPEARANCE:
Khet is a tall, young male, with black hair and golden eyes, common of his race. Athletic in build, he moves with a languid, feline grace that denotes a life spent on wilderness worlds, where light feet meant the difference between life and death. Like many Pureblooded Sith before him, Khet has taken to decorating his body with precious metal and tattoos.
He has a dragon-winged Sarlaac tattoo on his back, with a krayt dragon melding with it, across his right side and chest. They are illustrative, not anatomically correct, with stylized embellishments and design choices.
He has Yuuzhan Vong tattoos along his right arm, from wrist to elbow, an incantation artistically formed from an amphistaff. Its head is 'swallowing' Khet's hand and its tail winds around his bicep and shoulder, dissolving into a nebula of blues and greens, with a star at its center, on his upper back shoulder, resting on the wing of the Sarlaac-dragon. This nebula tattoo seems to hide a burn scar that takes up a large portion of his upper right shoulder and arm.
His other arm has a series of symbols, highlighted within a rancor-totem, clearly Dathomiri in design.
He also possesses three golden rings in one ear, and two on the other, each hung with a small, green crystal.
His chin tendrils each have a small cuff, made of a dark, shiny metal, engraved with various symbols. His bony eye ridges and jawline are decorated with small gold inlay.
He often wears simple, rustic clothes - similar to Jedi clothing - as well as more modern flight suits, a spacer's duster or a combination there of.
A unique piece of helmet armor, that is worn when in combat, seems to emulate Ubese armor, and has seen a century or two of combat. There is a lock of banded moon-gold hair attached to the helm, and seems to hold particular significance to Khet.
If he is prepared for combat, he wears a custom set of black armor, complete with helmet and woven Rancor hide, dark greens and blacks with only hints of red-gold metal plates under ceremoniously wrapped cloth. His father's armor is wholly unique, and Khet only wears it when he has prepared for battle against 'true' evil.
BIOGRAPHY:
Khet Ahrou Kursyr was born to in the iridescence of hyperspace, to a Sith mother and father - Arteria and Hazdes Kursyr.
He spent his formative years in the company of outcasts and spacers, smugglers and less than reputable, but kindhearted, rogues until his father and mother found themselves a settlement on Weik - an oft-forgotten, backwater world on the edge of the galaxy, deep in Wild Space.
It was here that Khet learned his control of the Force, trained by his father and mother in esoteric teachings of Dathomiri Force Magic and Sith Alchemy.
He was trained in lightsaber combat - both sides of Form V and VI - as well as a unique saber and shield style. He also learned martial arts and marksmanship - both traditional bow forms and rifling - from his father, who never spoke much as to how he had learned the skills of a Sith Warrior and soldier, save that it was a tradition handed to him from his father, and his father's father.
Aside from this, Khet also learned about medicine from his mother, who had been trained in both traditional Dathomiri Witch medicine, Force healing and graduated from a prestigious medical academy in her youth, though she spoke little of that.
Together, the small family built a home on the edges of the galaxy, tending a small but vivacious garden and orchard, aiding the people of Weik as best they could with medical expertise, slowly overcoming distrust of the few who did not care for outsiders. Though Khet never learned what drove his father and mother so, he learned kindness and mercy from them and shouldered any burden asked of him. Stoic, strong, and honorable, he proved his valor again and again as he grew.
In his sixteenth year, Khet recognized his feelings for a young woman in the village, a human with shocks of pale, moon-gold hair. Neiala Shu was the daughter of the spaceport’s commissioner, and though he did not approve of his daughter seeing a Sith, he did not directly stand in her way.
They carried on a relationship for several years, until tragedy struck the village.
Pirates - a constant concern to the smallest settlements in Wild Space, mitigated by remaining unnoticeable - attacked the village, killing many and enslaving even more.
As the Kursyrs lived outside the village, high up on a mountain pathway, they were too late in reaching the village to stop the pirates.
Realizing that the pirates had taken Neiala, Khet refused to listen to his father’s reason and Hazdes - knowing that his son would defy him regardless - acquiesced in letting the young man accompany him on a rescue mission.
Gathering who they could, Hazdes, Arteria and Khet led the militia in pursuit of the pirates, finding their small fleet of modified cargo haulers and ugly-ships still in the system.
The battle was brief, as the Kursyrs conjured the Force illusion around their own freighter of an ancient Star Destroyer, complete with ragtag fighter escorts. The pirates surrendered, with the uglies jumping to hyperspace, abandoning the slower, modified C-ROC Gozanti.
When they dropped the illusion and boarded the ship, the battle was fierce and brief. While Arteria stayed with those wounded in the initial boarding chaos, Khet and Hazdes worked their way to the bridge, intent on capturing it, while others moved to save the prisoners.
It was here that Khet faced his first real challenge in the form of self-proclaimed ‘Darth Malignance’ - a Dark Side adept with big pirate goals.
The duel was cramped in the bridge, with the Kursyrs having to watch each other’s strikes to not hurt each other, while Malignance was free to strike at either, though careful to not damage the ship’s systems.
Then Hazdes took a fatal misstep, trying to protect his son and was driven through by Malignance.
In a fit of rage, tapping into the Dark Side of the Force, Khet battered Malignance’s defense down, finally striking him in two with a one-two strike from his father’s saber and then his own.
While carrying his father’s dying body from the bridge, hoping his mother could still save him, Khet was found by Neiala and some of the others, who helped them back onto their own freighter and to freedom.
Their victory was bittersweet. Hazdes’ wound had been corrupted by the Dark Side poison within Malignance’s lightsaber, a Sith Alchemy technique that had no cure.
Khet blamed himself for getting in the way, for being a hindrance to his father. The older Sith still had strength enough to cuff the boy and pull him closer, speaking softly into his ear.
“Death comes for us all. It is how you greet it that makes the difference.”
Hazdes would live for almost a year, slowly deteriorating, even as Arteria worked with him to prolong his life. Khet buried himself in study and reflection, training against shadows in the dead of night, battling with his guilt and desire to right his mistakes.
In the end, Hazdes called his son to his side and with his final breaths gifted him a holocron, containing all of Hazdes’ knowledge and skills, as well as those of Arteria.
He told his son that their family had long served the Dark Side, fighting in war after war, Empire after Empire. He and Arteria had escaped that life so as to raise him away from all that. But the Dark Side had always been strong in their unbroken Sith Bloodline, a siren's call in their very blood. And so he had raised a ‘warrior in a garden, so he did not have to ask a gardener to fight a war.’
Khet left Weik soon after his father’s passing, taking an old X-Wing to the last location of the C-ROC where his father had been struck down. Getting it working again with Neiala’s help, they eventually said their goodbyes - him unable to stay, she unable to leave - and when he awoke the next day, she was gone, leaving only a long lock of her moon-gold hair.
Khet spent the next few years hunting pirates - alone and sometimes with others - moving closer and closer to Outer Rim territory.
Through these years, he outfitted his C-ROC - “Knight Cloak” - with various modifications and crew additions. He took to cultivating a garden within the ship itself, hiding within it a secret compartment filled with Sith Artifacts - Malignance's lightsaber crystal, Venin, at its heart. He hunted down Dark Side users within Wild Space, finding a growing trade of such artifacts disturbing.
While tracking one such artifact runner on a Hutt controlled world, Khet saved a homeless Yuuzhan Vong from a gang of thugs, intent on killing him. Bringing him back to the Knight Cloak and using his mother’s Dathomiri Magic to heal him, Khet earned the Yuuzhan Vong's trust and his friendship.
Claiming to owe Khet a blood-debt, Rhaka joined the Knight Cloak’s crew and helped Khet as he continued his mission against the pirates of the Outer Rim and Wild Space.
SHIP:
The C-ROC Gozanti-Class Cruiser once known as "Red Runner" was remade by Khet and Neiala, with additional modifications added over the last few years. Christened as "Knight Cloak" by the end, Khet uses it as a home and base of operations. One side of the Knight Cloak's outrigger cargo bays were converted into more internal storage and crew cabins, allowing Khet to re-purpose a larger internal space. Using elements of the GR-75's docking chutes costs the C-ROC the other outrigger cargo bays, but allows two starfighters to dock.
However, Khet only owns an aging T-70 X-Wing he's named Saberlight.
Though it lacks the original five thrusters, the remaining four Novaldex JV-80 ion drives still provide more than enough speed for the ship to outrun most enemies, supplemented by solar arrays installed on the ventral and dorsal runs.
It still maintains a Class 3 Hyperdrive, but its Class 12 backup is often unreliable due to its age.
With its compliment of two quad laser cannons (one ventral, one dorsal) and four heavy laser cannons (two port and starboard), the Knight Cloak is no slouch in combat either. A modification made in the last year also provided a proton torpedo launcher to the ventral bow, retractable like the other armaments.
It's heavy shields and armor are largely unchanged, though a overhaul of the computer stations allow a crew of two to manage the whole ship and a crew of four to run at peak efficiency.
The ship is dusty-grey, with more than a few patchwork jobs and old battle scars. However, the green 'cape' of color that runs the length of the dorsal and down over the sides and engines, is always pristine.
The ship maintains a twin pair of sphere-class astromechs - PO-3 and SQ-13, better known as 'Poe' and 'Squire.'
Knight Cloak is also home to Khet's spukamas, Mhune. Khet claims she is force sensitive as well, being raised on Weik, a Force Nexus. However, these claims might be a jest.
The spukamas seems largely disinterested in proving it, either way.
