Darth Voracitos
Chaos-God of Gluttony
OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION
- Intent: To create a short, sweet, and simple NPC submission for TSE's NPC Codex contest.
- Image Credit: http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/ImageLinks/NightmareFace, listed as Vos' favourite method of torture.
◊, Vos from Transformers: More Than Meets the Eye - Role: A powerful interrogator for the Sith Empire... needlessly cruel and unusual, yet intelligent and effective in his techniques.
- Links: N/a
- Age: 36
- Force Sensitivity: Knight (Former Master)
- Species: Kiffar/Umbaran hybrid (Cyborg)
- Appearance: Jor Vos is not a pretty face to look at... because his face is mostly gone. Ravaged through a terrible accident, Jor Vos was rendered totally hideous and beyond recognition. Sustained through the force despite his perilous injuries, Jor Vos was eventually taken to be repaired. Through the use of cybernetics, Jor Vos's face was covered up, skin replaced by fine metallic cybernetics, as was much of his dissected body.
- Name: Jor Vos
- Loyalties: The Sith Empire, the Saaraishash
- Wealth: Basically lives off the state of the Empire, making little wealth on his own beyond his duties as a premier Interrogator (and Torture Technician). He lives off of very little, and has little concern with money.
- Notable Possessions: A Sith Torture Mask with pointy bits
- Skills:
Pyschometry - Due to his Kiffar heritage (from the Vos clan), Jor Vos has the inherent ability to read the histories of inanimate, or recently inanimate (corpses/body parts/etc.) objects. However, since his blood is mixed, it takes longer for him to read, and sometimes he is missing context clues. When torturing subjects, he uses his mask implanted directly into their face, to extract blood that dries on the metal screws for him to read through this skill. - Umbaran Influence - Also due to his Umbaran heritage, he possesses an innate ability to read, subtly influence, and sometimes control the people around him. However, since his blood is mixed, his influence only extends to the sufficiently weak minded (or those sufficiently broken down to be more open to mental suggestion).
- Sith Torture Mask creation - Fairly self explanatory, he possess a rudimentary skill enough imbue objects with the dark side to create a Sith Torture Mask, and has done so on a mask he himself wears (and imparts on his subjects)
- Inflict Pain - Although he primarily uses technological means to inflict pain on his subjects, sometimes he uses a little help from the force to amplify the targets agony. He is not very skilled, but it can become a handy tool to use on a target already wracked with pain.
- Truth-sense - Sometimes when one is interrogating a subject, or torturing them for confession, in order to stop the pain the target will try to plant a false confession in order to stop it. With that experience in mind, Jor Vos has begun to learn, with assistance from the force, what makes a false confession, and a confession the target actually believes. In order to discount false positives, Jor Vos will ensure to end the torture and wait a period of time before returning to receive the confession while the target is sober, or repeat the process if they are resistant, in order to receive a consistent confession. This ability and method certainly helps The Grand Interrogator get the context clues he would otherwise be missing relying solely on his pyschometry and Umbaran influence.
- Accelerate Another's Healing - An unusual skill for a Sith, and a torturer to be sure, but it is a rather necessary one given Jor Vos's rather extreme measures... particularly the use of his mask. In order for it to be applied, as he is setting the otherwise potentially lethal device over their face, he actively accelerates their ability to heal, so as it lodges into their cranium, their flesh heals over it. This prevents the body from going into shock, or otherwise lethal wounds from killing them. This is Jor Vos's most practiced skill, where all others fall behind, relying on his natural racial attributes for any significant use.
[*]Personality: Jor Vos wasn't always an entirely terrible person, although he had always been loyal to the Empire and the dark side, by virtue of his mother (a manipulative and deceptively terrible person). For a time, he was well studied in the dark side of the force, with a variety of skills to his knowledge and utilization as a Sith Master... unfortunately at some point, Jor Vos got into a terrible accident that marred his body, and seems to have disabled some of his mind. After being saved by the power of the dark side, and cybernetic replacement/augmentation, Jor Vos was given completely to the dark side... but his potential was forever reduced. Traumatized, amnesiac, and lacking emotional empathy, Jor Vos was at once a prime candidate for an interrogator, and skill torture master. Concerned only with finding out the truth, by any means necessary, Jor Vos without emotion inflicts terrible physical and mental pain upon others to find the confessions worth confessing. What some see as sadistic, Jor Vos sees as dedicated to the craft. His mental faculties, are also not very advanced, seeing the world very black and white but with little judgement one way or the other, and his intelligence has taken a severe hit, allowing him to be open to mental manipulation by skilled users.
COMBAT INFORMATION
- Weapon of Choice: Sith Torture Mask, various bad doodads, and the Force
- Combat Function: The Grand Interrogator is not meant for combat by any stretch of the imagination, however, he isn't completely a liability. For instance, he can inflict pain on individuals remotely through the force, and additionally has several cybernetic modifications that involve pyscho-active drugs that can impair an enemies ability to reason or focus. His left hand also acts as a stun baton in a most dire situation. He does have some inherent weaknesses however, namely his extreme sensitiveness to light, and can be physically overpowered due to physical maladies accrued due to his hybridization, and injuries.
Born to an Umbaran mother, and a Kiffar father, Jor Vos was always in a state of trying to find out the truth. With the deceptions and manipulations of his mother, coupled with his fathers ability to see the histories of inanimate objects, Jor Vos was always attempting to upend his mother's lies. It turned into something of a game for the two of them, where the mother would lie and see how long it would take Jor Vos to detect it, and in turn taught him the art of deception, to fool his father... who eventually left both of them for this reason. Eventually the lies would become too heavy, the games turned sinister, and hatred brewed.
Running away from his mother, he found himself joining the Sith Empire, giving himself fully to the darkside, feeding off his hatred for his parents. He rose prominently as an intellectual pupil, until eventually he could be left to his own devices as a skilled and intelligent Sith Knight, and eventually, Master. This status however, would almost be the end of him, as through jealousy and the natural order of the Sith, Jor Vos would be sent to his doom by a rival, resulting into a terrible accident that nearly claimed his life.
Luckily, his master had a small measure of pity for his former star pupil, and was able to save him from death through the use of cybernetics. Unfortunately, it was immediately apparent the Jor Vos he knew was gone, and his master abandoned him. Fortunately for the former Sith Lord, Jor Vos was able to get into the right crowds, and there were those that still saw some measure of potential in him...
... and that is how he became a feared and effective torture device, despite all of his weaknesses, serving the Emperor and the Sith Lords of the Saaraishash directly to acquire the information they so desperately require.
