Vaarl Tasorix

Physical Description
Vaarl’s appearance is rarely exactly the same, as he is forced to change host bodies every month or so, but there are several aspects that are always the same. Vaarl’s host body is always possesses a very pale flesh tone and glazed over, distant, and dead looking eyes. Overall, the body looks similar to a corpse. Also, the host’s eyes glow subtle yellow-orange.

To maintain a somewhat consistent appearance, however, Vaarl generally reveals very little of his physical form. Instead he prefers to wear a tunic going half way to his knees with a belt and standard pants. Over top of this Vaarl has pieces of ornate, ancient Sith designed armor and over top all he wears an open-front robe, likewise of ancient Sith design, with a hood which he usually keeps over his head. Finally, Vaarl wears a similarly designed Sith mask over his face.

Psychological Description
Cold, egotistical, sadistic, and many other words can describe Vaarl’s personality. Raised in a society where the Sith Lords held absolute power and were revered as gods, he holds a very high opinion of himself and accepts nothing less then the utmost respect from all those beneath him. Indeed, Vaarl even has a cult devoted to worshipping that he maintains and supports. Furthermore, he holds a very high racial pride to the point where he believes the Sith, and those few who can prove Sith ancestry, are superior to all other races.

Vaarl can be entirely without any sense of ethics, having absolutely no problem with destroying someone’s mind so that he can use them as a host body or warping and twisting them into some monstrosity to serve his will. Enemies are to be slain, personal enemies to suffer especially. The vengeance of a millennium old spirit is great, and Vaarl rarely forgets an enemy. On the other side, those allies he has who give him the respect he feels he deserves find a comparatively kinder Vaarl, though still egotistical.

Believing that ultimately the long term is more important than the short, Vaarl prefers not to mindlessly execute subordinates who displease him over just anything, as doing so often kills off useful tools. Vaarl makes longer term plots and plans of often surprising complexity, though he also suffers from anger problems. When greatly angered by a particular enemy, Vaarl has a tendency to act out more immediately, seeking a quick vengeance rather than properly planning his enemy’s fall.

Favored Force Uses
Vaarl became, at the time of the death of Halicanyos, the most powerful Force user “alive,” drawing on over one thousand years of experience and power, the massive connection to the Force his spiritual nature grants him, as well as the Ancient Sith powers that have been long lost to time for a truly great effect.

Vaarl uses a very wide variety powers, though most focus heavily on the destructive aspect of the Force. Many of Vaarl’s powers stem from the Sith Sorcery, which was still is use at the time of his death, though he has added more modern powers to his repertoire as well. What is most frightening about Vaarl’s Force use is his ability to use his powers to so great an effect and use them repetitively without tiring or needing to recharge.

Weapons
Much less impressive than his Force capabilities, Vaarl also possess two swords for which he can use in melee combat if necessary. The first, his personal weapon, is an Ancient Sith war sword created during his reign as Dark Lord by the Ancient Sith alchemical masters. As with all Sith war blades, the weapon draws its power from the user, making it truly deadly in the hands of a truly potent Force user. Vaarl’s second weapon is a far more ornate, less heavily alchemically enhanced sword created for him by Nikolai Brewster which more often carries with him for ceremonial or appearance purposes, as it looks far more important than his combat sword.

Vaarl fights with an archaic, mostly forgotten style of fighting known as the Kad’nagar style used by the Sith of old. Vaarl is an accomplished swordsmen, though far from the best around, and draws his greatest melee advantage from the strangeness of his technique.

Strengths
Vaarl is widely considered indomitable in single combat, and his control over the Force and capabilities grant him a huge advantage. He also was alive far enough back to know a great deal of knowledge that has since been lost to the ages.

Weaknesses
Whilst defeating Vaarl in single combat is neigh impossible, he has vulnerabilities elsewhere. His extreme egotism and vengeance drive could be taken advantage of if one played their techniques properly and his tendency to believe others inferior could likewise be played against him. Finally, since his control over his material form is based entirely on the Force, if one could somehow interrupt that connection, his body would collapse and his spirit would be thrown back to Korriban.

Relevant History
Little is known about Vaarl’s early history aside from the fact that he was rose to the rank of Dark Lord after the fall of Naga Sadow at the Republic’s hands and was at some point betrayed and ultimately killed by Halicanyos, who later became known as Darth Shadow, creating a deep rooted vengeance between them.

After having fallen from sight in the universe for nearly a thousand years, he resurfaced again after having manifested in the Iron Crown of the Sith, whispering into the mind of the current Dark Lord Zynactus Thaxilius and bending him toward turning against Halicanyos, a feat he ultimately did and resulted in his death much as it had Vaarl. Vaarl himself, however, escaped from the destruction of Thaxilius’ base on Thule by possessing his bodyguard. Vaarl worked with the current government for a time before ultimately confronting Halicanyos himself for a final time aboard Obsidian Station over Ziost. The results of that battle are unclear with the only thing truly being known for certain being that Vaarl survived, though he claims Halicanyos perished there at his hands.

Afterwards, Vaarl was granted the rank of Sith Lord in the modern empire, choosing not to take the throne even were it offered to him as he truly knew very little of the universe in its current state. Vaarl served in the Empire, though somewhat more independently than most, until the Schism occurred, at which point he managed to gain control over a large sector of space around Korriban, his original home. During this time, Vaarl was responsible along with Kamira Nurityen for the death of a rogue Sith Lord named Barunai.

Now Vaarl wages a shadow war against the Kazuraad, a group of fanatical devotees who claim to serve Halicanyos, something which infuriates Vaarl infinitely. He was, over the course of their rebellion, authorized several strikes against their backers and facilities as well as taken a leading roll in seeking out and destroying them.
