Emberlene's Daughter, The Jedi Generalist
"I shall create a wound in the living force... so grievous, so malicious that the resulting rupture will rip the cosmic force asunder when the living force returns to it. Then I shall ascend, shedding this corporeal form as the bonds the force connects and holds together break down and become atoms and the atoms become dust. I shall become consciousness alone. Free from time, space or cause and effect. The universe shall be my will. my vision."

- Role: Antagonistic Force
- Permissions: N/A
- Links: N/A
- Age: 58
- Force Sensitivity: Master
- Species: Human (atrisian)
- Appearance: Five foot even with long dark hair and eyes like black pools. Her skin is pale white with a smoothness from care... when it cane be seen. Her hair, posture, demeanor is expertly used to hide her features revealing only her right side. Scarred, burned and marred flesh showing muscle and sinew, in some cases bone where it has been flayed from her face. She has used the force to seal and heal the surface so that it is not in danger but she chooses to let everyone see it.
- Name: Matsu Ike/Valeyard
- Loyalties: Herself
- Wealth: Highly manipulative and generally mindbreaking others to buy what she needs or taking it.
- Notable Possessions:
- Shard of the kyber mirror of Shinsui Temple
- Clan Lightsaber
- Skills: High degree of force capability utalizing the darkside and the lightside. Her skills with a saber are highly refined into djem so and patient towards her fighting without wasting energy or losing a laser pointed focus.
- Personality: Incredibly cold an detached with a calculating level of intelligence. The force user doesn't fit into the light or darkside though she is unquestionably wicked without being cruel. Seeking to destroy all things the force touches and holds together because it is sinister to her and the kyber mirrors visions showed far more dangerous things.
- Weapon of Choice: The Force
- Combat Function: A heavy force user who manipulates the force in a way few others have seen... with a dangerous understanding about attacks as she will gladly sacrifice her own flesh to gain the advantage. She works to overcome with raw force power opponents before moving in and using her lightsabers to cut them down quickly.
- High degree of focused control
- Deep knowledge of the force
- Intensity: Visions from the mirror have created a fugue state she can enter into.. the intensity being able to make her disappear and be within them for weeks or even months at a time. A dangerous prospect but also one that makes following up on her plans harder as temples can reinforce with the time and others can deter her pawns.
- Anti-Social Personality: While she is very smart she is also one to destroy everything around her, an intense cold hatred for all things living and touched by the force makes the force master lash out and destroy usually before her goals are fully achieved.
Born on the world of Dekien and taken in by the clan of the world for her force potential. THe young girl was considered lower then most, like all of the children they served the guardians and in turn their jedi lord. From there it was the prince and the emperor.... from a young age though she was smarter then the others. A benefit as it set her apart and attracted the interest of one of the guardians who taught her for their lord. WHen the selection process came she was one of the front runners and able to leave the life of the servants under the guardians behind.... it twisted her view as she heard tales of others... of what happened to those who failed. There were tales of them being sent to far off battlefields and never returning.. their bones desecrated and tainted by aspects of the force.
Her time though as one of the retainers for the guardians wasn't long... as she was sent on several fetch quests... doing little but she learned how to use the black current and white flare respectively.. she learned their history and oaths... she even learned how to fight with a lightsaber. She was there when news of the rebellions came... one of the jedi lords had ordered his guardians to fight a losing battle.. to kill themselves so that he could escape. Her lord scoffed at it as the honor was stained when he threw not just his guardians but entire clan to escape. They fought and died but the guardians.. the one leading them survived and those who were close to him survived. They defeated an army and still survived when their lord ordered ships to rain fire on the planet instead of losing it.
What came afterward though was different.. the guardians didn't die, they didn't disappear they came back... they sought revenge for this betrayal and were branded sith. THey were not evil in many of the jedi lords eyes just they had not chosen to die and they were corrupting the teachings of the jedi. Waging war and adopting new tactics that the jedi couldn't counter. Her jedi lord led an attack against one of their early training facilities and the ambush they encountered inside stuck with her as the children being trained were wielding sabers... something unheard of. Each one of them was a dangerous opponent and could cut them down. She survived witha few otherss and the guardians but there was news that more situations like this were playing out.
THen news came to them. Rei'izu fell.. the sith rebellion had taken the world at the heart of the empire.. at the heart of the jedi with the first temple there. It united the remaining jedi lords into a cohesive fighting force that would move against them. For five years they had been waging war against their own people. SHe was promoted to the rank of a guardian and led a team against one of the destroyerss the sith controlled over the world. Standing on the bridge as it could be felt in the black current and white flare... a scream sensation and the sith armada began destroying itself. Their flagship torn apart as the world disappeared... swallowed by something.. no one could be certain but the jedi and sith on the planet could not be heard anymore.. they couldn't be felt.... but the war was over.... they had won according to the emperor.
THe war was far from over... no new sith came or appeared in the galaxy it was true... life returned to how it had been with the princes vying for control of the galaxy and wanting to control enough to be named the heir to the emperor.... when more happened. Ships from somewhere else came... a being of pure power ripped a hole in the galaxy and brought changes throughout that they had to face. Matsu led the charge with a few other as space and time seemed to change itself... warping things.. creating things. The great battle saw the death of what could only be described as a god but what was created in that moment... in that time. She saw things she couldn't describe... the flagship of her lord being swallowed by a horrible creature... her guardian brothers and sisters falling to what could have been them.
The final stroke though came when someone used a dagger oddly shaped to kill this being and it was supposed to reverse what had happened... her ship was trapped in the collapsing connection and they tried to make it through. Coming into a place that could only be considered nothing space... there were no stars, no debris.. just void... just their own minds. It led many of those with her to a sense of despair and dread... staying one of the few who was strong she had observed many of the things being done and she tried to find a way to replicate it. They were beyond something.. they were in need of supplies but the ship would survive she hoped and their record of what it was... then something happened... there was something on their sensors. A ship or half of one... a design they had never seen but it had a hyperdrive that was thousands of years more advanced.
It allowed them to adapt it and the records they could use to better understand and found themselves somewhere else. The massive black hole and being that were trying to kill them were a welcomed sight. THey fought and learned how to overcome but the ship survived and they jumped again... coming to a place they had never seen but it seemed like home only different. The ship was damaged unable to find its way back and they came across a world. The power needed was to much but where they came to was controlled they learned by the One Sith. Massive as a threat.. they didn't know what had happened but they had a duty to stop them.. they had a mission to eradicate the heretics from the galaxy be it this one or their own and the fight against these remnants saw them facing dangerous predators as well as other horrors.
The horrors cost them dearly as Matsu faced the threats and she learned how to use the black current in ways observing them that she could do and using it she felt her body react violently as she waas left scarred and torn apart.... the pain there for all to see and she refused to use synthflesh for her body. Instead she worked on many things to try and get them back slowly becoming more and more frustrated... but there was a sense of hope maybe... there was tales of other beings in the galaxy in the unknown regions as they called it that knew this power. The imperial jedi sought them out and the kanzer introduced her to the rozzum which were twisted beings that were summoned and brought by a force order that.... were the jedi. Matsu suffered more information as it seemed this force was the black current but.... she wasn't sure what to do.
Her thoughts drifted as the crew around her slowly died and fell ill... not wanting to see all of them pass she sought ways to better automated and protect the ship... ways that they wouldn't have to deal with these beings anymore then they had to. ONe of those was when she fought against
Maple Harte
and her own self@Matsu Ike.... it was a strange sensation but her ideas of how to return home led her to one conclusion.. destroy it all. With enough power under her she would be able to bridge them back to their world and she could exist there... shapiong it how she saw fit.. how sshe wanted to bring it about without some emperor or lords... she would see what they did and end the suffering of trillions in the galaxy by creating a would so deep and dangerous it tore the force apart and everything that felt it.
