Apollyas Req'sus, Jedi Knight of the Old Republic

Submitted by Requiem191 on Tue, 02/02/2010 - 16:05. Request

This is the info I used in a request in my SW:TOR Guild, but our artist has since become much too busy to make some artwork (he also happens to make RPGs for us, lol). So, instead of keeping my request in limbo, I've decided to come here and ask for some help in getting an image of Apollyas put up.

This is his character sheet I use in applications for role play, and I also have an RP post that I can link should the need arise for a little more back story.

Name: Apollyas Req'sus

Race: Human

Class: Jedi

Alignment: Lawful Good, though sometimes a bit chaotic if necessary.

Physical Description: Tall, 6'1'', with a scar running the length of his back and down his left leg. Green eyes with flecks of silver spread throughout which gives him a calming yet stern look. His hair is cut very short on the sides, a buzz cut if you will, yet a little longer on top. He has a beard though nothing too bad, just a bit of scruff he refuses to trim regularly. He normally wears a simple robe or Jedi clothes so as to not stand out in public, as much as any Jedi can stay away from the eyes of the public.

Character Traits: Apollyas is an old soul who realizes the needs of others over his own. He does not think himself higher than other people and that reflects itself in his speech and his manner of dress. He normally talks like a common person, tracing back to his old roots when he grew up on the rough streets of Coruscant's seedier areas, though he is able to slip easily into a "proper" way of speaking when needed (i.e. when talking to a diplomat or senator or when trying to coerce or sweet talk any specific person). He carries himself lightly, though always holds his head up high so as to not show shame. He is what he is and goes where he feels he is meant to go.

So, you got the physical description of Apollyas, but I was hoping you could make any scenery behind him you make reflect his alignment. It'll look all "proper" and orderly, but at the same time, things will be a bit chaotic as well (i.e. an explosion here or there, small figures in the distance fighting with lightsabers/blasters, vehicles crashing. Just some ideas I had). Also, as I mention in his description, he considers his robes to just be clothes. He takes care of them, yeah, but they would be raggedy and torn up, especially around his feet since he walks around everywhere. Maybe adding in some burns or scorch marks would be good too. He does get into quite a lot of fights, what with being an adventurer and all. Just to be clear though, if you have him in full robes, have his hood down. The scar that I mention starts a bit at the right side of his neck and curves down the left side of his body.

If you have any questions, just ask and I'll try to help you out. This should be enough to get going!

I realized that I didn't put in much of a pose for Apollyas, if one at all, so here's a second post with more detail.

First off, here's a link to Apollyas' Lightsaber: http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x14/Requiem191/apollsLsaber3.png

It's a saber that's meant to be heavily modified. The front of it is designed to make the blade extremely concentrated and long, good for Apollyas' take on the Saber Form V: Djem So variant. The saber also is able to be modded into a double-bladed saber, but Apollyas doesn't use this form of the saber often.

The color of the blade varies between Cyan, Viridian, and Silver, widely popular colors among people for their Jedi, but still fitting for Apollyas. If you want to use a simple Blue color, that's fine, but Apollyas is a Guardian, so he'll be leaning more closely to a Blue/Cyan or Silver blade color.

For Apollyas' pose, I'm not sure exactly how to have him. One idea I have is to set Apollyas down on a rocky/dirt path, a small boulder behind him. He could be kneeling on his left knee in front of the boulder, with his right forearm/under arm resting on his right knee and his left hand resting palm down on the ground, as though he were inspecting the earth. You could even have him holding a pile of dirt in his hand with some of it pouring out through his fingers like sand (dirt, sand, rocks, whatever works).

If you want to have him standing instead, that can work. It's really just a rough idea I have in my head, nothing solid. If you want to discuss different poses, we can do that as well. It's whatever works really, I'm very flexible here.

That's a sweet lightsaber. I like. Did you draw it?

Boshuda

I actually didn't. I used a website that lets you create Lightsabers and, if they have the resources, you can buy the saber you make. I just used the image they gave me though, held onto it and all that, haha.

But yeah, thanks!
