- Distinctions:
Alchemical Flesh - The human form of Darth Voracitos has been entirely consumed by his latent command over Sith Magic and alchemy, his very flesh being transformed into some strange fusion of ceramic and fat. - The Maw of Gluttony - A wound stretching across the vast stomach of Darth Voracitos that was inflicted by [member="Argis Volmir"] on Rhen Var was the catalyst which caused the transformation of Voracitos. Despite many of his internal organs being vacated in the resulting blast, through the power of the dark side Voracitos had made this grievous wound into a permanent fixture of his identity, personifying gluttony itself by transforming it into a new mouth. Complete with a row of teeth, and a tongue hidden deep within the obscured depths of his new illogical throat, the Maw of Gluttony has become the center of Voracitos' power in the force.
- Prehensile Protrusions - In the process of his transformation, the surge of energy that coursed through Voracitos body caused the formation of various horn-like protrusions from his head, shoulders, back and elsewhere across his body. They were alchemically ceramic more so than the rest of his flesh, but in being derived from his fatty flesh they illogically seem to possess flexible, even prehensile qualities. Voracitos seems to be able to move these protrusions at will.
[*]Races:N/a
[*]Force Sensitivity: All
Strengths:
- Dark Lord - Darth Voracitos, over the course of 8 decades of life, has acquired an unparalleled reputation as a truly terrifying sorcerer. His own body has become a testament to this fact, having become almost entirely alchemical by sheer force of will, both intentional and unintentional. The Sith Lord is a conduit of pure dark side energy, with a hunger for the essence of life and the force like almost no one else in history.
- Nethermancer - Part of the reputation of Voracitos stems greatly from his command and mastery over all things spiritual, having harvested and bound numerous souls from the Netherworld of the force itself to increase his own power, and distribute that power to his servants. They have granted him many powers universally considered to be, unnatural.
- Entirely Dependent on the Force - As with his first death, if ever severed from his ability to command the force, Voracitos will quickly begin to parish, his aged, sickness addled, and heavily desecrated body will not be able to maintain itself without his influence willing it to live, not to mention the dependence of his alchemized flesh on the existence of the force to imbue its properties into his still-living corpse.
- Entirely Dependent on Servitude - Despite the impressive power the captured souls grant Voracitos, if he is to remain sane and retain his sense of identity, he must possess servants of which he may distribute the souls that are bonded to him, otherwise the full brunt of containing all the bonded souls would fall squarely on him alone, and would likely either eventually drive him to raving madness, or his identity would be subsumed by the collective consciousness of souls, slave to the will of the dead.
- Diet: Omnivore
- Communication: Speech, Telepathy
- Technology level: Galactic Standard
- Religion/Beliefs: The Sith Faith
- General behavior: The very idea of consumption consumes the personality of Voracitos, driven by an insatiable gluttony the Sith Lord turned Sith abomination maintains the ever present hunger he was always known for. Greedy to a fault with a touch of envy inherent to his core, too highly proud of his achievements while a touch too slothful to do much more than delegate his responsibilities, and his wrath knows no bounds in his lust for power. Voracitos is a despicable creature that should not be trusted farther than he can be thrown, as he is always thinking of ways to undercut his allies and enemies alike to further his own agenda of total dominion. His every behavior is to further his position as the linchpin that ties all that he perceives as his own together under his sway.
The history of the creature Voracitos is a complicated one, which must be started by describing the person Darth Voracitos, who was originally born as Jonathan Boke. He was the heir to a powerful lineage of Sith Lords on Korriban, son of Darth Calapsus, and grandson to Darth Durablis (who's own history is of even greater and longer complexity than that of Voracitos). Voracitos, despite the ridicule of his weight, proved to be a rather exceptional student under the Sith teachings, and he rose to power quickly. Upon the untimely death of his father, the onus was upon Voracitos to destroy the killer of his father, not to avenge his death but to reclaim his stake in family riches given that it was his expected duty to take his father's life upon ascension to Sith Lord and inherent everything associated with the Boke family name. As such, after a brutal Kaggath, Jonathan Boke managed to kill the Sith Lord that murdered his father, and ascended immediately to the title of Darth Voracitos, in honor of the ferocious obliteration of his opponent unexpected from a Sith as young as he was at the time.
Darth Voracitos would quickly find himself in positions of not insignificant power for most of his life. Never too many steps away from the seat of government, the influence of the Sith Lord would persist for decades of his life and bring rise to a variety of sources of influences in his name. Crime, business, and mysticism became the trades Voracitos utilized to exert his control on the galaxy once the 400 Year Darkness lifted, becoming a Crime Lord of a gang that spanned across the galaxy, and CEO of the Corporate Sector Authority were all done on his own merits. It wouldn't be until the Sith Lord Darth Sidic had made his presence known to the galaxy that the other Sith legacies that had persisted on the other worlds of the galaxy came to his cause. Voracitos also joined him, and immediately became a powerful commanding voice in its operation.
In only so many years, Voracitos would rise as the Pillar of Knowledge within a Triumvirate of Sith Lords that formalized the first Sith Empire of the modern age, then as Head of the Dark Council, and finally he would become the third proper Sith Emperor and Dark Lord of the Sith. All through this time, however, the Sith Lord made the lofty claim that despite the fact there were two sitting Emperor's before him, only he was ever truly in charge, controlling each from the shadows until they outlasted their usefulness. However, despite the massive reach and influence of Voracitos, it would appear that as a leader, the Sith Lord was far too reclusive and far to prone to spending on secret projects. This secretiveness within the "Shadow Emperor", is ultimately what lead to his assassination and usurpation. His spirit was banished to Chaos in the Garden of Thorns.
The story of Voracitos likely would have ended there (despite his machinations within the Girth of Gluttony persisting after his death, running his respectable name through the mud), if not for the truly cosmic event of the Akala Crisis opening the flood gates of the Netherworld to the galaxy at large. In a reincarnated form known as Zambrano the Hutt, the grandfather of Voracitos (Darth Durablis) entered Chaos and found the enormous spirit of Voracitos slumbering in the depths of the Garden of the Thorns, and lead him back to the living world. As if by magic, flesh and blood returned to the Sith Lord, and his hunger for life was renewed.
In a quest to reclaim everything that he had lost since his death, eventually he would encounter an old friend in the from of Kaine Zambrano, then known as Darth Vornskr. However, due to their Imperial aspirations the pair came at odds, and quickly devolved into combat. Eventually, Kaine was able to best the gluttonous Sith Lord, causing his imprisonment in the Aslyum of Gluttony. For years the influence of Voracitos would bond with individuals across the galaxy, implicitly summoning them to Dromund Kaas to free Voracitos back into the galaxy. Eventually, one such servant would be successful, but the body of Voracitos would be forever changed due to his magics, causing a partial transformation of his flesh in alchemical ceramic. Deformed and humbled, the Sith Lord would return and find in the galaxy the remnants of the fallen One Sith and the old Sith Empire coming together into what came to be known as the Sith Ascendancy.
Meanwhile, Voracitos found the means to travel through the rifts in the galaxy left behind by the Akala Crisis to step into the Netherworld, seeking a missing piece of his soul. After countless treks into the maddening realm of the dead, Voracitos began to collect and consume the decrepit souls of the Netherworld, binding them to him. Eventually, the number of souls in his possession would reach a point that it was unsustainable. Utilizing what servants he had in his possession, he began experimenting with ways in which his bonded spirits could be distributed so as to lessen the impact of their grating consciousnesses against his own. Thus in his experiments, he had formed the Coven of Gluttony. Amassing thousands of servants which spread across the now reconstituted Sith Empire, and the galaxy at large, they began to assemble more and more artifacts of power and knowledge for their dark master, giving Voractios a renewed goal in life that was not steeped deep in his past, but looking to his future.
It is by this association and mission, which had lead the Sith Lord to the battle of Rhen Var, where the ancient artifact known as the Fell Star created a beacon which had called out to the Aing-Tii to collect the artifact, and keep it from falling into Sith hands. As such, their allies, the Outer Rim Coalition assaulted the Sith Empire on the frozen world, which brought to the battle a large portion of the Coven of Gluttony along with the Lord of Gluttony himself and two of his most trusted aids, the Lady Envy and the Savant Wrath.
Valiantly, the Jedi Knight known as Argis Volmir fought against the Sith Lord, seeing a shatterpoint within him which spelled victory for the Coalition... or certain defeat. Despite his greatest of efforts, unfortunately the Jedi had only served to tip the scale of power within Voracitos towards the truly abominable. In his last expenditure of energy in the force, the Jedi desolated the fleshy form of Darth Voracitos, exploding his stomach in a flash of power deep in his gut. This energy, however, only served to be the catalyst for the Sith Lord's transformation into the creature known only as Voracitos. His morale defeated in the face of the abomination before him, the Jedi nearly submitted to his own defeat and death, allowing Voracitos to remove his soul from his mortal coil. In a last show of defiance, though, the Jedi brought down two Jedi Shadow Bombs onto the Lost City of the Jedi and Voracitos, obliterating the frozen wasteland in a horrendous explosion, becoming one with the force in his noble sacrifice.
Despite losing the Savant Wrath in the explosion, however, the infant form of Voracitos managed to escape with the Lady Envy through a rift to the Netherworld formed by Voracitos (assisted by his Shadow's Folly), meaning the Jedi's efforts were largely in vain.
