Metus De'cal
The Fear Monger
NAME: Metus Dec’al
FACTION: The One Sith
RANK: Acolyte
FORCE SENSITIVE: Yes
SPECIES: Human
AGE: 37 GSY
SEX: Male
HEIGHT: 5’10
WEIGHT: 182 lbs
EYES: Hazel normally, but red once fueled by the dark side
HAIR (Head): Dark brown hair with graying sides in a buzz cut style
HAIR (Face): Clean Shaven
SKIN: Pale White
BUILD AND FEATURES: Has a muscular build that comes from years of exercise, but his most distinguishing physical feature is that his left hand is missing its ring finger. As a young man he was considered handsome, but years of living in poverty alone has taken its toll on him. He looks older than he truly is, with the sides of his hair turning gray from stress. If he took proper care of himself he could look almost distinguished, but for now he is more than fine with looking rugged.
PERSONALITY: At his very center, Metus is a man of fear. Afraid of being hurt or killed, of letting his passions run wild, of being rejected, of losing what little he cares for, and many other things. Because of this some would consider him a coward, and to a point he would even agree with them. To offset his fears he has become emotionally distant and brutal, while seeking to force the same kind of fear into the hearts of those he meets.
STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES:
{+} Physically Strong and Durable Brawler: His physique allows him to overpower his opponents in combat, and allows him to take a good amount of damage before finally succumbing to it.
{+} Analytical: In order for him to infect his enemies with fear he has to be able to understand what strikes them to the core and how to use it against them. This also helps in other ways as well, since he is able to pinpoint the problems and solutions of situations. In combat it helps him immensely.
{+/-} Avatar of Fear: Metus seeks to become an embodiment of the force he finds most powerful while also being plagued by the same. He has molded his life around becoming something to fear and uses intimidation in his fights, but if a fight isn't going his way then he will flee or do whatever else he can to survive.
{+/-} Paranoid: He sees enemies in every shadow and imagines death to be around every corner. In the few times that his fears are realized it helps him be prepared, but most of the time he is acting on things that don’t exist.
{-} Can Weaken Morale: Even his own allies are valid targets, and at any possible chance he will do what he can to make them afraid. While his intent is to help them use that fear to become stronger, it always has the possibility of ruining things. This makes him someone difficult to work with.
{-} Asthma: The condition makes physical exhaustion a danger for him, some of the symptoms being shortness of breath, chest-tightening, and wheezing among others. It is a mild case at worst, but he refuses to use medicine in order to keep it as a source of fear for him.
COMBAT SKILLS:
Lightsaber: Not trained as of yet.
The Force: Not trained as of yet.
BIOGRAPHY:
Metus was born on Coruscant to a family living in the poorer levels of the planet, and it was the constant struggles of his parents that managed to bring them from a situation of barely surviving to something more adequate. These early childhood years however already made their mark, and that was when the fear of going back to extreme poverty imbued itself in the boy’s mind. That was the first, but it would not be the last.
Later on Metus was the victim of bullying, and here he realized not only the fear of being hunted and persecuted by this person, but also how it could fuel him to do great things when he finally confronted the bully in a brutal fight that gave him a reputation as a dangerous child. It was after that event that his parents used what money they had to buy tickets to get off-world in the hopes that living on Dantooine would calm their son down. During this journey the ship was attacked by pirates, who killed his parents and took him hostage, the event that saw him lose one of his fingers, before the Republic found and arrested the criminals.
Back on Coruscant in an orphanage, he grew up keeping as little attachment to others as possible so he wouldn’t feel the same pain as with the death of his parents. Eventually his potential in the force revealed itself and he was proposed to the Jedi Order, but he chose instead to run away from the orphanage to escape the fate that was put before him. From there he fought and scraped his way through life living once again in the lower levels of the planet, but now he was learning skills that helped him survive.
It wasn't until the Sith invasion of Coruscant that Metus was faced with the possibilities of his force sensitivity, and after some study he found himself drawn to their order’s philosophy and moving to join their ranks.
