---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES (Required: 2 Weaknesses Minimum) :
+Rave was the vessel for her clone donor's spirit, and then personal apprentice to a top-tier master of Sith magic and alchemy. As such, she has a disproportionate amount of memory and knowledge about the Force. She has, or recalls, roughly eighty years of life experience.
+Due to her experiences with her clone donor, Rave is highly skilled at defending her mind.
+Rave is a superb biological and materials alchemist and Dark Side healer.
+Through her alchemical studies, Rave has become a specialist in aperion, the aspect of the Force that controls time, gravity, mass, electromagnetism, and other laws of physics.
-Rave's true face is scarred, Vongshaped, and heavily Nightsister-bruised, and associated with a handful of atrocities; she has to wear an ooglith cloaker constantly, and is at constant risk of being revealed.
-Rave has focused so heavily on alchemy, and the skills that derive from it, that the rest of her skillset has suffered. In combat, her primary focus is lightning and Force shielding; she can do little else at a Master level, at least in terms of standard combat powers. Increasingly, she must focus on alchemical derivatives to fight.
-Between her clone donor's memories and her own experiences, Rave has picked up a relatively broad skillset, most of whose skills she can only use to an Apprentice or Knight level, and/or with extreme effort and focus, due to her overwhelming focus on alchemy.
-Though quick, Rave is quite small and physically weak, and must rely on the Force to engage physically with larger opponents, using focus and energy that would be better spent elsewhere. Simple grappling, used by a normal-sized man or a large woman, has been known to immobilize her entirely.

BIOGRAPHY:
Original bio: http://starwars-exod...a.com/wiki/Rave
In years gone by, a fallen Jedi Master lost his closest friend and confidante, a Nightsister Elder named Sira Ves who was killed by Velok. In despair, the Dark Jedi cloned Ves, but when his plans were frustrated, the child was lost. She ended up in the care of a bitter woman who sought vengeance on her own father, and Rave became the mechanism of that vengeance. Her caretaker, Serrena Myomar, communed with Ves's spirit and allowed it access to Rave's body. Ves/Rave and Serrena fought Serrena's father together, but were defeated, and Rave entered the father's care. The old man exorcised Ves and cast her into Chaos. Together, he and Rave wandered the Unknown Regions until his death of a heart attack.
Rave, aged ten, was taken under the wing of Jorus Merrill, a Warden of the Sky. They wandered together aboard the Gypsymoth as she experienced the Dark Side along with puberty, challenges which her adoptive brother was unable to handle. After one particularly violent tantrum at age twelve, she ran away and evaded him on Nar Shaddaa. She found herself caught up in the early days of the Sith Empire, where her curses were considered advantages. Eventually, she became a close confidante of Sirella Valkner and her son Hylo, to the point where Rave was allowed to pay a significant price for the privilege of becoming immune to pheromones.
During her training under Sirella, she spent a little time travelling with Jorus again. She was Knighted by Sirella shortly after her seventeenth birthday, around the time when Ashin Varanin became Empress. Rave became simply one among many Sith Knights, albeit one with the favor of a Dark Council member. She maintained some ties to her adoptive brother, Jorus Merrill, and the Vagrant Fleet.
During the Sith Empire's conquest of Metalorn, Spencer Jacobs scarred her back from left hip to right shoulder with a Spear of Midnight Black.
It was after Sirella's disappearance that Rave came into her own as an alchemist. She became the Empire's third most competent alchemist, after Velok and Kaine. Though the concept and the finer points were all Velok's work, it was Rave who did the bulk of the work on the multi-generational creation of the Akure Leviathan, the Sith Empire's greatest warbeast. She was also the main laborer in the creation of the Vinithi.
After Velok left the Empire, Rave remained for a time, though she split her efforts between the Empire and the nascent Lords of the Fringe. Under the bioscientist known as the Plague Doctor, she helped create a secret, state-of-the-art bioweapons/alchemy facility on Endor. Her ties to Velok introduced her to Val'Ryss Zankarr and the Lords of Shadows, and she became familiar with the Dark Forge on Aza'zoth. Eventually she stripped all the alchemical apparatus from Velok's Felucia laboratory, and relocated it to the Dark Forge and the Endor facility. After her successful creation of the Zerek Strain, she spent the bulk of her time as the Caretaker of the Dark Forge, and assisted in forging the flawed Nether Amulets. She also played a minor role in reforging the Darkstaff. With Val'Ryss's redemption, and the destruction of the temple over the Dark Forge, Rave retreated to the Forge apart from her efforts in helping the Fringe defend the worlds of the Unknown Regions. Her success led to her nomination for a High Council seat, and she ran a successful election campaign while making alchemical items for the Fringe.
On election night, she discovered Circe Savan attempting to record and blackmail every leader of the Fringe, and challenged her to a kaggath. She defeated Circe using only knives, simple Knight-level Dathomiri spells, Rave's own blood, and a slice of cake. When her knives were lost, she borrowed Shinju's chainsword to oppose Circe's lightsabre, and ended up taking off Circe's right arm at the elbow. She claimed Circe's Black Hex star destroyer as her flagship, and Circe's fifty-thousand-metre warfleet as her own, but spared Circe's life and refrained from exercising her right to erase Circe from history.
She was then elected to the High Council by a landslide. Since then, while continuing to see combat duty and make alchemical inventions -- including the first non-Moridin Sith Amulets in thousands of years -- she has helped craft treaties with the Moross Crusade and the CIS. She has also begun to assist and teach Masters in the field of alchemy, and has personally instructed three Masters in the finer points.
