Zeltron Jedi, Wandering Adventurer, Seeker of Fate

More Info At: http://www.gaiaonline.com/journal/?mode=viewarchive&post_id=24355353&u=1...

Name: Mars Reising
Age: 32
Gender: Male
Height: 6’ 2”
Weight: 163 lbs
Species: Half Zeltron and half Corellian
Alignment: Neutral

Appearance: Mars stands around average height and weight (For humans and near-humans.) with a thin frame. His arms are strong compared to the rest of his body yet he still lacks a muscular build. His skin is a tad pale for a Zeltron’s complexion, but nothing a non-Zeltron would notice. Mars’ hair is a vibrant dark red that hangs short and loosely about his face. Also typical of a Zeltron he is rather handsome. While not quite as good-looking as a holostar, many would say he is ‘hair product holo-ad good-looking’. Attributing to his lessened attractiveness are the yellow-orange irises present on his eyes, the results from his stint as a dark Jedi as well as the darker skin under the eyes. Also reminiscent of his past is an incomplete sith tattoo on his body, the design was originally intended to cover his entire body, but only his shoulders, back, neck, upper left arm, and right arm were ever fully inked. The design encompasses the typical jagged lines and symmetrical layout often seen in other sith tattoos. Throughout his time he has acquired a number of scars from sparring, accidents, fights, etc. Several of them have particularly horrifying histories, although with the miracles of medical technologies he has been spared much mutilation. Mars' outfit consists mainly of a tight black, tunic with only a single sleeve and a turtleneck collar. Said left sleeve features several pieces of rare Mandalorian armor colored in a matte silver color; an articulated spaulder guards his shoulder and upper arm, a vambrace guards his forearm and elbow, and a rather moderate glove featuring plating for the back of his hand and individual finger joints. All of the Mandalorian armor he wears was re-shaped from a set of battered beskar’gam from the Mandalorian Wars gifted to him under his former sith master. Mars also wears several Zeltronian holoprojecting bracelets on his right wrist, which project fairly intricate designs in brightly colored holographic rings encircling his forearm, which slowly rotate. The remainder of Mars’ right arm is bare, showing off some of his intricate sith tattoo. Mars' pants are little more then a pair of tight fitting trousers made from common jumpsuit canvas. The legs of the pants are pulled down over a pair of black flight boots and secured there with spats. Built into the soles of his hefty, black flight boots are sound-dampening inlays that minimize the amount of sound produced when walking. Over these pieces of clothing Mars wears a white sleeveless tabard with black trim on the edges. The front of the tabard narrows at groin-level and reaches down to the knees, while the back serves as a kama of the same length. The trim of the tabard is an alternating pattern of acid green and Corellian green sith-inspired characters with no particular meaning. The rear of the tabard shows an artistic variation of the Mandalorian Mythosaur skull, portrayed intricately with elements taken from the typical style of sith tattoos. Around his waist Mars wears a wide sash colored orange with random streaks of a brighter orange, hung rather jauntily at a diagonal angle. It is tied at his front, slightly to the right, with a length of the cloth hanging down. Hanging from the front side of the sash on his left side are a few small charms from various cultures across the galaxy hanging on a braid of jerba leather, for good luck. Over his sash, Mars wears a black leather belt, with a number of unassuming pouches at the backside of his waist, containing assorted useful tools. On his right hand Mars wears a simple fingerless swoop glove, the knuckles of which are plated with a thin layer of durasteel. From his neck hangs a small trinket of rancor infant teeth supported by a thong of brown rancor leather.

Weapon(s):
-Lightsaber
Mars’ current lightsaber was constructed aboard his shuttle some time during his period of self-reinvention, from the remains of the two lightsabers he had used in his past as a jedi, both pure and fallen. The time invested in constructing the lightsaber had taken Mars days, constantly working at the focus of ensuring every single part fit together as perfectly as he could make them, allotting for as near maximum efficiency as he could reach. For a focusing crystal, Mars' uses a Corellian diamond, made from the compressed ashes of his own grandfather. The diamond allows the two sides to work together, producing a superior blade that produces a strong ‘recoil’ in the hilt when ignited. The color crystal has resulted from two crystals melding together. One; a light-orange solari crystal, keyed to only those who were truly of the light side of the Force. The second; a blood-red qixoni, useable only by those of the dark side of the Force. This third incarnation of his lightsaber utilized both the solari and the qixoni crystals combined-through techniques of ancient sith alchemy imparted to him from his former Master to form a single crystal, unlike any other. It produces a fairly wide blade of a reddish rust-orange color. The curious detail of this blade is that it seems to gently pulsate when ignited, yet when the lightsaber blade come into contact with a strong energy source the pulsing becomes much quicker and much more violent.* Due to the color of the blade, Mars is frequently assumed to be a dark jedi by impressionable bystanders. The lightsaber posses a simple internal activation switch with a pressure sensitive safety, the safety works so that when the internal switch is turned ‘on’, the hilt’s grip only requires slight pressure to keep the blade active. Another feature gained at the hands of the Corellian diamond is how it keyed itself to Mars, literally making it useless to anyone without the same or similar presence in the Force as Mars. The casing is a rather simple design with a medium length hilt, long double emitter shrouds-arranged opposite one-another around the emitter- and slender leather-wrapped grips.

In addition to drawings of Mars, I would definitely welcome a detailed and up-close image of his lightsaber, representations of him in other phases of his life (Jedi padawan, Sith cult assassin, etc.), in his ship, with his apprentice, and so on. References for the above can be acquired through links to my journal or through asking me directly. If you're interesting in drawing Mars as a Sith, there is a bit of a story behind that and I actually have some information describing the Sith cult uniform.

*Think compressed lightsaber crystals from The Force Unleashed, assuming you've played it.

Tyria Vellar (Secondary OC)
Blind Gunman, Mandalorian at Heart, A Secret Drowned in Rum

More Info At: http://www.gaiaonline.com/journal/?mode=viewarchive&post_id=32298667&u=1...

Name: Tyria Vellar
Age: 28
Gender: Female
Height: 5' 9"
Weight: 122 lbs
Species: Miraluka
Alignment: Chaotic Good

Appearance: Tyria likes to think that she stands at about average height with a very nice physique. One might expect her to have a particularly pale complexion, perhaps from secretly being a Miraluka or perhaps from pretending to be a Mandalorian, but Tyria has been known to try for a tan on her vacations. Her body is marked with a few scars here and there, but nothing too disfiguring with the exception of a large blaster burn between her shoulder blades. On her right hip Tyria has a tattoo of the word 'Glory' running downward in blue Aurebesh characters, and on the inside of her left thigh she has a black arrow tattoo, pointing upwards between her legs. She has no eye color, due to her people's lack of physical eyes. Her hair is kept short and straight, a dark brown tipped with blonde highlights which falls down to jaw-length. She keeps a lock of her hair tucked back behind her right ear, and her eye-length bangs are kept swept towards the left. At all times she wears some form of blindfold over her eyes-typically a simple bandana or a pair of swoop goggles, although on special occasions she may choose to wear a fine silken blindfold. Around the ship or off duty, Tyria dresses quite lightly, wearing a pair of tight denim short-shorts unbuttoned at the front, dubbed as 'The Tiniest Shorts Ever' and held on by her hefty, leather, cowboy-style pistol belt which is adorned with a number of pouches and decorated with a few small bead-covered tassels. She also wears a set of tight chest bindings-which reveal just a hint of under-cleavage, and a cropped, fur-lined, brown leather vest with a brass zipper and a turtle-necked collar that is typically left hanging open. In addition to these garments Tyria wears a pair of knee-length buckled pilot boots, leather cargo chaps-cut to reveal the inside of her thighs, a Y-suspender hitching up her shorts, and a pair of fingerless swoop gloves which reach about halfway up her forearm and are cinched at the wrists with small buckles. She doesn't tend to be one for much jewelry, but she'll often wear a bronzium armlet with a Mandalorian Mythosaur skull flanked by jaig eyes embossed on it. However, on the job Tyria wears her suit of light Mandalorian styled armor, crafted from duraplast in lieu of unavailable Mandalorian iron. To maximize her agility, the suit's joints are relatively unprotected. The suit's plating is painted with a subdued desert camouflage in a digital pattern, with signs of heavy damage and use, and accented with bold white lines tracing the edge of each individual plate. The armorweave under-suit is khaki and has been treated to be water-resistant, fire-retardant, weatherproof, and even graded against industrial grade corrosives. Both gauntlets have been modified to include a number of handy tools of the trade and back-up weapons for any occasion Tyria may require. A significant aesthetic detail is the dull white color of her helmet's iconic T-shaped visor, relating to the milky white color of blind eyes. There is no special equipment such as rangefinders or ID scanners built into her helmet, as she has no need for visual-based information, but her helmet does include a broadband antennae for long range encrypted communications and a built-in comlink. Over her armor she wears an armorweave hood and shawl, which hangs about her shoulders and upper-chest, and an armorweave kama that have all been colored in a subtle coyote brown. Her armor has been adorned with a few leather utility belts covered in pouches and tools. Additionally, Tyria has built into her armor a special system composed of a compact repulsor generator in a module slightly smaller then a jetpack on her back, with discreet thrusters and miniaturized tractor beams placed strategically about her armor to increase her overall mobility and to get around easier in low to no gravity environments. The entire suit is capable of fully sealing itself, complete with a rebreather, allowing Tyria to travel underwater, in toxic environments, and even in the vacuum of space.
Weapon(s):
-ACP Array Gun
A bit of a clunky, unrefined piece of equipment produced by Arakyd Industries that looks quite a bit like a slugthrower, this scatter gun serves Tyria very well. It holds eight cartridges and requires manual charging of the handle. It is fully capable of tearing apart both organic targets and shields, but has very poor penetration against armor. It's effectiveness at long ranges is severely reduced.
-DE-10
Seeing very little use, Tyria's hefty DE-10 seems to remain as little more then a special keepsake; a blaster she carries with her at all times, one that she keeps under her pillow when she sleeps, one that she has never been known to use in a fight yet is always kept in her presence. It obviously holds a very important place in her heart. Sometimes, she is even brought to a brink of emotion strong enough to actually draw her blaster on someone, but hasn't been able to bring herself to fire it. Should the nearly pristine weapon see use, it is an extremely weighty and powerful piece. The power of a blast is enough to punch a hole straight through an armored soldier, and then the guy behind him will still be in quite a bit of trouble. Despite seeing almost no use, Tyria has since chosen to remove the electronic gun sights to keep her draw up to speed. It remains her constant companion, and rides along on her right hip, in a very cowboy-style holster, with a blaster gas cartridge, and several other tools and pieces of equipment.
-Vibrokataras
A pair of retractable, foot long vibroblades built into Tyria's gauntlets can be released with little more then a flick of the wrist. They are extremely deadly at close range and can be deployed at a moment's notice.
-Flamethrower
Also mounted on each wrist is a compact flame projector, with a range of approximately forty feet. Each flame projector uses easily re-loadable cartridges of solid fuel, that burn for around thirty seconds straight.
-Hold-Out Slugthrower
Built into her right gauntlet is a compact slugthrower of unique design, built to be loaded with any number of custom-built 20mm, 3" shells. For the most part, Tyria prefers to use 000 buckshot, although she keeps a large number of special shells in reserve. Amongst these include explosive 'grenade' shells, slugs, tracking beacons, flares, and smokescreens. Her slugthrower is single shot, and loaded via bolt action mounted to the gauntlet.
-Thermal Detonators
Tyria keeps several small yield, unmarked, cylindrical style thermal detonators on her pistol belt at all times. They tend to come in handy for anti-armor, breaching purposes, and general demolition.

Alright, my third character Tyria-more information available in my journal of course-might be considered a bit of fan service to some of you. I really wouldn't mind art of her in either outfit-both is desired and welcomed. Keep in mind that she's a bit of a booze-swinging mercenary and quite a rough-housing sort of lady. Art of her with or in her ship would be awesome, but isn't particularly necessary. Furthermore, a group picture with her astromech droid, an S19 by the name of SL7 "Sleven", beaten up and scratched.

Ras Algethi (der Vernichtungsengel's Main OC)
Jen-ari of the Sith, Follower of Revan

More Info At: http://www.gaiaonline.com/journal/?mode=view&u=20868443

Name: Jen-ari Ras Algethi
Age: 20
Gender: Female
Height: 5’ 4”
Weight: 123 lbs
Species: Arkanian Human Offshoot (Heavy Genetic Drift)
Alignment: Darksider, but goes through the standard redemption plot and ends out at a heavyhanded neutrality.

Appearance: Standing at around 5 feet tall Ras Algethis is diminutive compared to other Sith Masters, however her stance and demeanor suggests power and authority, and she always appears to be looking down on you, even if you are taller than she. A Human Hybrid Arkanian, she has marble white skin and distinct red eyes, and her considerable Sith tattoos are done in blood red, however instead of a black and red color scheme her order applies red onto the natural skin color, giving her a red and white pattern. Her hair is alabaster white, however the tips are dyed a red color; some wonder if that is actual dye or the genetic memory of the people her family and order have killed down the centuries. Her ears are pointed, but the mutation is likely due to genetic drift as well as repeated genetic exposure to the Dark Side of the force. Ras typically is seen, or more likely not seen, wearing a stygium wired bodyglove crafted using Sith Alchemy. The glove is matte black and appears to absorb ambient light, even when deactivated. The suit is seamless apart from a few bulging forms at the cuff, collar, knees and elbow, and the lack of a left arm sleeve. The cuff and collar contain the crystal focusing arrays that project to the stygium wires that run through the suit, while the knees and elbow are simple durasteel plates to help protect the joints. Over this layer she wears a black robe in a style reminiscent of the standard Jedi robe, rigged for easy removal once the shooting starts. The inside of the robe is lined with black fur to combat the cold of Ziosts' surface. She has a utility belt over her bodyglove with a chain holding four sith holocrons, one containing ancient Alchemy techniques, one containing ancient Force techniques, and one containing ancient manufacturing techniques. The fourth holocron contains the history of the cult, and it slightly larger than the others. Her nose and mouth are covered by an elaborately decorated respiration mask inlay-ed in bronzium in text that seems to date to the Old Sith Empire. Her boots are more utilitarian, two inch heels and reinforced with durasteel plating.

Weapon(s): Modified Beskar Lightsaber (Solid Basket Hilt): Ras's blade uses what is believed to be the Heart of the Guardian and a Stygium crystal. The effect is a wickedly quick blade that almost appears to phase in and out of existence when used properly. The Heart is in fact a synthetic copy, the original Heart having vanished with Darth Revan along with the original Mantle into the Outer Regions. However the properties are similar enough if a bit weaker. Still a blade to be feared in combat, particularly in melee’s where the user is outnumbered. The blades quick speed and phasing nature combined with the Makashi and Ataru lightsaber styles and fast footwork makes the blade almost appear where it is needed next. The guard of the hilt is black Beskar inlay-ed with bronzium in ancient Sith script that sadly has been lost to the depths of time. The grip is bronzium wire wrapped with a pressure trigger hidden beneath, the lightest of grips is required to ignite the blade, but the saber is unable to be thrown and deactivates when no hand is upon it. The pommel of the hilt is actually a holocron containing Sith combat techniques dating back to the Jedi Civil War. Appearance wise the blade is a fainter blade than most lightsabers in a rusted orange coloring. The blade almost appears to be insubstantial, almost as if you could put your hand through it like a thick mist.

And here were have our first major main villain, leader of an entire Sith cult and inheritor of numerous dark and horrible secret. Eventually she does make a heel-turn and joins the good guys, and to be honest art representing either portion of her life would be awesome. Although, her dark side phase would be more useful to have first. Further information about the cult can be attained just by asking, for we have all sorts of uniform stuff and background information about it if you feel like a great background needs some Sith mooks and a creepy subterranean ruin.

75% is pretty generous Xan. I scrolled down to see the first TEXT WALL and promptly ignored the rest. Sorry to say, not worth the eye strain.
