Appearance
Rann is a very handsome man with a lean build. He tends to wear his hair longer with some form of facial hair. In combat, if it's too long, he'll tie his hair back into a ponytail or bun to prevent it being grabbed and used against him. Lately, he's started to amplify his more physically appealing traits by shaving away most of his facial hair, choosing not to hide behind hair anymore. His right arm, a robotic prosthetic, appears human to the naked eye, and from a distance. It is often covered with a black glove to hide the metal beneath.

Rann Thress

Rann was born on Onderon in 835 ABY in the capital city of Iziz to a lower class mother, never fully aware or particularly caring who his father was. He grew up relatively happy and was raised with ideals of self-preservation alongside a small degree of empathy by his mother. A man his mother had taken as her partner in his life was present when Rann's Force Attunement was discovered, and he convinced Rann to use his gifts to benefit his family. Performing magical tricks around the markets for children using the Force, Rann made enough money to supplement his family's income. Not capable of more advanced tricks, Rann focused on more sleight of hand and small movement tricks, seeking more to confuse then amaze. Never the less, Rann was entertaining, and quickly became known as the Amazing Rann around Iziz' marketplaces. When the Markets were closed, Rann and his step-father would go rob from businesses, using Rann's attachment to the Force as a tool.
One day, however, a mysterious woman arrived in Iziz. Derailing, and then out right exposing Rann's show, the woman alluded to power and potential Rann had not yet reached before disappearing. With his Reputation as a magician ruined courtesy of the woman who indirectly referred to herself as Sith, Rann decided it was time to leave Onderon behind and seek to fulfill this potential the woman mentioned. Not knowing how exactly to go about it, Rann boarded a ship and headed directly to Kashyyyk.
After landing on Kashyyyk and making some acquaintances with the Jedi in the area, Rann met a strange masked man piloting a very familiar ship. Rann did not know why, but he knew the ship from somewhere. The man, Ar'ekk, interested Rann and told him more of the Force, helping Rann begin to unlock his deeper potentials. Rann realized the ship was the famed Ebon Hawk and realized quickly that he needed to be on the ship, and trained by the man who owned it. Rann had become a Jedi Padawan.
Rann traveled to Voss with his Master and his Master's sister, Aren D'Shade. There, Rann experienced a vision regarding his greatest fear: obscurity. Vowing to never be forgotten, Rann salvaged an old Sith Lightsaber from the ruins of the Jedi Temple on Voss and quickly went about training to become an adept lightsaber wielder.
Rann and Aren, having departed from Ar'ekk, arrived at the shipyards of Mon Cala in search of a ship they could call their own. Upon finding a suitable candidate, the duo proceeded to board the ship and commandeer it. However, the security detail on board refused to simply give up the ship to the two thieves, and attacked them. Here, Rann had to take his first life. The two guards crumpled to the floor, dead, after a quick skirmish in which they injured Rann. With new scarring on his abdomen, Rann and Aren departed the Shipyard for their new adventures.
The ship that had been taken by Rann and Aren had arrived over Vjun. There, they were hailed by the local forces and ordered to land. Upon landing, they were introduced to a group of people called The Dark Hand. On the planets surface, outside Darth Vader's ancient stronghold Bast Castle, the two were split up, and Rann would not reunite with Aren for some time.
Rann was then introduced to Riamah, an extremely powerful force user who promised to teach Rann more about the Force and lightsaber techniques. The two would train together for some time before Rann set out on his own, looking to put Ra's teachings to good use however he could. Ra would teach Rann many things and greatly enhance his powers, and Rann would also make great use of the Libraries in Bast Castle, absorbing all he could of Force techniques and Lightsaber skills.
Rann rejoined with Aren on the planet Dorsis. Spending much time together, the pair would join in a scheme to defraud charitable organizations on the planet Iokath
Rann joined the Confederacy in time for the invasion of Ryloth by the Agents of Chaos. He fought on the ground against Rylothi insurgents and AOC soldiers to protect Ryloth and her inhabitants. Rann lost an arm during the battle to a Twi’lek suicide bomb and has since acquired a new, robotic one AND a darker personality inside of his mind that he was unaware of at this time.
Shortly after the Battle of Ryloth, Rann took part in the second invasion from the Agents of Chaos at Rodia. Despite an eagerness for combat, and a readiness for death, Rann was denied both. Enraged at what he considered an insult, Rann's inner darkness openly revealed itself and took ahold of Rann, influencing and manipulating his thoughts and emotions. Dejected, depressed, and furious, Rann left the field of battle. He regrouped with other CIS forces at an aid station close by, and there became even more depressed seeing the wounded and glorious dead of the battle. This infuriated him, because he felt the AoC insulted him personally by attacking with such a meager force. What's more, they accomplished objectives. It made Rann feel as if he was nothing, less than nothing. He felt weak, unworthy. But, he also became aware of the darkness inside.
On the withdrawal from Rodia, Rann was made aware of a sibling he had, Damsy Callat. A sister, and fellow child of the Sith Lord, Darth Metus. Rann met with this sister of his, and they both quickly struck up an unbreakable bond.
Not much later, Rann proclaimed himself Lord of Rannon, and introduced businesses, markets, and economy to the backwater planet. He also took it upon himself to renovate the old Jedi Temple that lie inside the Hidden Valley of the planet. His goal? To create his own household using the Temple as his new Stronghold. But... Fate had other ideas.
Meditating in the Temple in an attempt to remove the corruption that had taken hold, Rann was interrupted by Nimue, a Force User he had met and almost fought on Rodia. Nimue, unaware of Rann's presence inside the Temple, was quickly assumed to be a threat and assassin. A fight ensued, and at the end, Nimue emerged victorious.
To Be Continued
On Geonosis, a terrible cataclysm occured, severely crippling the Knights Obsidian. It reduced their number from several thousand to a couple hundred, if that. Rann was present on the planet when this catastrophe occured and while making his escape from several Afflicted, he came across the gross remains of an Obsidian Knight, still clutching it's lightsaber. Rann summoned the Lightsaber to his hand and, out of respect for his fallen brethren, continues to use it both to honor his brothers and sisters and to bring death to his enemies. -
