« RECORD »


Disposition:
Cold/Distant
How others perceive him isn't a concern for him. Ever since he was a child, abducted from his home, he's been raised to know of no emotion except for anger, taught to give into hatred and weaponize it. Despite how the death and darkness that surrounds him, Starkiller isn't as twisted as most Sith often are. He doesn't kill for the fun of it, he doesn't play with his opponents. There are no mind games with him. He's simply a weapon and he fulfills his role efficiently. If you stand in his way, he won't hesitate to kill, but the only time he aims to kill are when he's up against specific targets marked by Vader. He doesn't revel in the chaos or destruction he brings. He's detached, following orders as he's told.

Apathetic
He isn't the talkative sort, usually giving short and blunt responses when it comes to conversing with people. This isn't born out of malice towards people in general, but simply because he's been raised in an environment where the only time he interacts with anyone is because he has to. Much of his time is spent in isolation, meditation and training and no room or desire for socializing. Often, the most animated you'll see him is talking over combat techniques with his training android.

Reflective
On the rare occasions that he allows himself to reflect on his actions, he finds that it leads to him feeling twinges of guilt or pity, at least for some of the more senseless targets he's tasked with killing. he even allows himself to feel pity and remorse for his actions as well as wondering if some of the more pointless kills he enacts are really necessary. When he kills Kazdan Paratus, he feels a little guilty. He also sometimes commits mercy kills, be it living things or droids that are near death and clearly suffering. Starkiller keeps these moments of pity, these weak moments to himself and shuts them out as much as possible. Weakness is not something he can show.

Fearless
No matter how dangerous the mission, Starkiller follows through without hesitation, regardless if they're a Jedi Master or a raving lunatic on an acidic trash heap of a planet, Starkiller doesn't stand down when it comes to a challenge. This comes from a mixture of his own confidence in his own abilities and the fact he would never disobey Vader. From striking down Stormtroopers to fighting against the dangerous monsters that roam the harshest jungles, Starkiller goes up against each and every one without batting an eye.

Loyal
It took getting literally stabbed in the back by Darth Vader for him to finally start questioning the loyalty that had been built up all his life. It was something that caused a lot of confliction for him, fighting between his loyalty and his growing resentment for his master. In the end, his resentment won out and after getting betrayed by Vader a second time, he willingly turned his back on his master. Upon turning his back on his master, Starkiller's loyalty turned towards the rebellion, who he fought side by side with ferociously, ultimately giving his life for the cause and those he had grown close to.

Suitability: Already having powers, Starkiller won't find it terribly hard to adjust to any new ones that he might gain. He will struggle with certain aspects, such as feeling like a prisoner in a strange new land, but at the same time there's a part of him that would be relieved to be away from the struggles of home; more specifically, finally being free from beneath Vader's boot. It will be an adjustment period, but ultimately he would grow accustomed after a while.

The other biggest thing he would have a hard time with is simply being around people, which isn't something that's ever really been a thing for him. With that said, Sith are all about passion and feeling and doing what they want, and being repressed under Vader means there's a lot that Starkiller has missed out on that he would be keen to finally experience.

Condition upon arrival: Recently stabbed through the abdomen with a lightsaber/laser sword but patched up by medical droids. His mental state is confused, angry and a bit frazzled, having just been betrayed by the person he was most loyal to. Highly conflicted, he won't really know what to do with himself or the knowledge of what's just happened to him.

Abilities: Starkiller comes from a universe where certain people are "Force Sensitive", meaning they can tap into power called the Force and use it for a large variety of different things.

Telekinesis
Primarily used to create concussive blasts, throw his lightsaber and push people and objects around.

Mind Control
Starkiller is able to reach into people's minds and influence their actions.

Lightning Generation
Though not true lightning, Starkiller is able to generate Force lightning; highly damaging and painful jolts of "electricity" that can easily kill someone.

Lightsaber combat
Starkiller is an expert in reverse grip style sword/lightsaber dueling.

Survival
His missions take him any and everywhere, from dense jungles to snowy abysses and harsh deserts. He is capable of surviving wherever his missions take him.

Inventory: One lightsaber, red blade.

Gembond: Ruby
Gem Location: His abdomen, where Vader stabbed him.

Starkiller awakens with a shout, the scream of someone who had up until this very moment been, by all rights, about to die; in fact, clawing into consciousness almost feels as painful as that moment he'd been stabbed through. It takes him a good moment of thrashing about before he realizes he's very much alive, and inexplicably nowhere near where he had been before.

Is this the afterlife? are his first thoughts, but patting the ground beneath him and pinching himself is enough to make him realize he's not a ghost, he's somewhere very real and very unfamiliar.

Despite, from his perspective, having just recently gone through something extremely traumatic and upsetting, Starkiller's survival instincts kick in immediately. He pushes those thoughts aside, compartmentalizes Darth Vader's betrayal somewhere far back in his mind, and decides in that moment to focus on the here and now- though a small part of him expects the man to show up at any moment, the familiar sound of his heavy respirator playing in Starkiller's ears ominously before he shuts those thoughts out.

Starkiller looks around him, briefly taking note of the sunrise turning the sky a firey red. Under normal circumstances, it might be beautiful, but to Starkiller it was just another sign of the unfamiliarity of this new environment. Instead, he sets about trying to find brush and twigs so that he can start a fire, finding his garments lacking in this snowy atmosphere.
Once he'd rounded some up, before he could even complete the thought of how he would ignite them, sparks seemed to bounce forth from his fingertips and set them ablaze.

"That's new," he remarks dryly, clenching his fists to try and stem any additional sparks that might blaze forth. He wonders if maybe the events from before had unlocked some sort of latent pyrokinesis... it isn't unheard of for Force sensitives to have all kinds of power, after all. Still, confusing as it may be, it was useful.

Starkiller settles next to the fire, huddling close to it for warmth as he continues to survey his surroundings. He needed to find civilization, someone he could ask for help. "And with any luck," he muses quietly to himself, "a ship."

A rustling nearby catches his attention immediately, and he's on his feet in an instant, armed with a branch he'd found earlier. It wasn't much, but still he held it defensively as he would his lightsaber, tensed and ready to fight. It seemed his fire had alerted someone.

The stranger tells Starkiller they come in peace, and Starkiller relaxes ever so slightly. "Are you a local?" he asks, still not lowering the branch he's holding. The person says no, and Starkiller furrows his brow. "So you woke up here as well? Do you have any idea what's going on?"

A few moments of chatter between them, and Starkiller is more confused than ever. "Someone is playing a dangerous game," he murmurs. "I have nothing to offer you except a place by the fire." He gestures to it, making to sit down next to it as the other person does as well. "When morning comes, we go our separate ways. I intend to find a way off this rock, one way or another."

And there he sat with the stranger, both content to just sit by the fire and soak in the warmth. Starkiller had no inclination to make further smalltalk, instead he sat and formulated his next move. Find a settlement, find a ship, get off this planet. From there, he didn't know, but it seemed as good a start as any.
