STRENGTHS
- Decoction Terentakus: The Amon-Sev are among the select in the Sith Eternal's service permitted to imbibe of the Hunter's Blood.
- 6th Sense: The potion gifts the Terentatek's ability to track those sensitive to the Force. Amon-Sev can discern individual Force Sensitives by their aura, and track them over great distances. This skill makes them ideal Jedi-hunters.
- Animal in Me: Possessed of the Terentatek's incredible strength, the Amon-Sev are many times stronger and faster than a humanoid their size ought to be. Their sensitivity to sensory stimuli has been heightened, and their reflexes, while not on-par with Sith or Jedi, are impressive nonetheless.
- Thick Scales: Clad in steel reinforced by duraplast, low-power blaster bolts will glance off the Amon-Sev, and lightsabers will rarely pierce through without several seconds of focused contact. The hunters' bladed spears are totally impervious to lightsabers, being forged of Sithsteel.
- Too Bright: The beasts of the Amon-Sev, having been cowed and trained through Sith Sorcery, have a deep-seated fear of Force Light. All but the most loyal companions will flee in the face of it. The Amon-Sev themselves, being changed by the Decoction Terentakus, will be burned badly by contact with Force Light.
- Old Ways: Concerned with tracking, beast-taming, and melee combat, the Amon-Sev lack in other areas of training. They cannot maintain complex equipment, crew a starship, or perform even simple repairs on a droid.
- Bloody Thirst: A consequence of drinking the Decoction Terentakus is the inheritance of the Terentatek's craving for the blood of Force Sensitives. It should be noted this craving does not turn them into out-of-control monsters if they do not partake: however, ignoring this thirst for an extended time will sap their strength, eventually leaving them catatonic.
- Prescription: In order to maintain the positive effects of the Hunter's Blood, Amon-Sev must drink of it once every 3 standard months or so.
In ancient times, proud tribes of Beast Riders ruled the jungles of savage Onderon. Now the light and steel of technology have eclipsed that past glory, but some peoples still cling to those old ways. Venn was born to one such village, raised to call the forest his home, the canopy his playground, and the Hunt his childhood game. Now burdened by the glorious purpose of the Sith, he trains those not favored by the Living Force to become warriors who can fight on equal terms with Destiny's favorite slavedogs, the Jedi.
The best and strongest of the the Qatilovçu are gifted the Hunter's Blood and plate of precious steel. The potion transforms their bodies permanently, making them bestial. Reborn, they become the Darkspear of the Eternals: the Amon-Sev.
