Personality: His temper is at once his greatest strength and his worst weakness. No loyalty seems to be held by him towards anyone save for his master. If someone can push his buttons in just the right way, all his skills and fighting prowess are for naught. But if they do piss him off it will not bode well for their survival since the uncontrolled focus of any rage makes everyone a potential target. Good at thinking on his feet and in the heat of battle. Also, he often hurls out insults at foes with a wicked and witty tongue. In other words, he can't take what he dishes out.
When not provoked he is capable of planning things out to a degree and often manipulates others if it will get his current objective done faster. He has no known qualms about killing anything or anyone even including other Sith if given the right context. He has never been seen in a romantic relationship with anyone but like most men there are certain
urges that can give him an itch that needs to be scratched.
Strengths: Impressive lightsaber skills in both the traditional methods and a personal one he has developed himself. Even known to have used two lightsabers at once with moderate skill. Survival skills that can be used to survive in poor conditions while on a dangerous planet or otherwise. Knowledge of defensive and offensive fighting styles of the Sith. Use of the force in the ways of the Sith. Acrobatic skills. Resistance to most mental abilities. Sabotage.
Weaknesses: Cannot pilot anything of military grade vehicles. Well, he could TRY but it probably wouldn't end well. Even for civilian craft he has only a basic understanding of how to pilot them and is far better at destroying them than keeping them in one piece. Only a rudimentary understanding of how to use blasters and the more advanced the weapon the less likely he can use it effectively. Lack of people's skills to the point he has more finesse with a lightsaber than with the ladies. Vague understanding of the upper-class leaves him exposed if at a function of high society.
Special Abilities:
Force Sight This vision was so strong that if a Miraluka looked upon a Jedi or Sith, they could "see" Force radiating off them. It also allows Cobier to sense his environment by way of the force. Should his connection with the force be severed in any way he would be utterly blind for as long as he were disconnected.
Force Illusion- Trained under the Sith, the ability to create an illusion of eyes that Miraluka's often have was expanded upon greatly since boyhood. Cobier uses this ability to often create the illusion of violet colored eyes. But after his years of apprenticeship, he can now create illusions to a moderate scale only limited by his imagination. Since it was projected directly into the brain of the creature, it appeared on all of the creature's senses, from hearing to smell to senses such as echolocation. Even viewing it through an electronic system such as a cybernetic eye or camera was of no use if the creature was within range of the illusion during its duration, the creature would "see" it with the system as if the illusion were actually there, though any playback after the illusion had ended would reveal nothing at all.
Force Grip Despite his training, Cobier has not focused on this ability as much as one normally would. For this reason he can mostly only cause an object in motion to freeze in place. In this respect he can halt quite a few things from striking him, but it requires an amount of focus that leaves him open to attack. To move an object is more difficult for him, increasingly harder with the object's size and requires even greater concentration.
Force Jump- The common ability to concentrate the force into one's jump. Cobier can use this to leap up to three times his own height. Any further would likely require an impractical period of concentration, if it were during battle, at his current skill level.
Force Speed- Cobier possesses a low to moderate grasp of this ability. Mainly he employs it during a lunge or other combat move to impale an opponent and give them little chance to escape. Otherwise it is used for brief dodges or in conjunction with Force Jump to achieve greater feats. But this ability is draining and not wise to be used for prolonged periods of time in battle.
Force Corrupt- A dark side ability that could temporarily manipulate the minds of other sentient beings and make them serve one's own cause. It is the most recent ability Cobier has gained and one of the indicators to his master that the time had come for him to become a Saber. However, as the newest power it also the one he is least familiar with. Not to mention the most draining of all his abilities and can only be used in a highly limited duration. At this time he can only successfully use it on less intelligent creatures which offer the least resistance. But that still leaves it easily capable of influencing something relatively mindless like a swarm of insects.
Equipment:
Arm-mounted Lightsaber Lance- A gauntlet-like device attached to Cobier's left arm complete with a reactionary glove. When the user's hand balls into a fist the lightsaber is activated, unleashing a purple blade that can extend up to five feet. Settings on the device allow the length to be adjusted. Due to Cobier's use of the force he can also utilize that to suddenly change the blade's length in the heat of battle to surprise opponents. As a safety catch the blade automatically shuts off if his hand is no longer in a fist. In addition, he cannot perform what some call a 'lightsaber throw' due to the permanence of the device. However this also makes it impossible for him to drop the device no matter how hard he is thrown around during a fight. This was a custom device created by Cobier after attaining the rank of Sith Saber and thus it is likely the only one in existence.
Mandalorian Disguise- Using the armor of a fallen Mandalorian on his more recent missions, he tries to avoid directly revealing his true identity as a Sith. The armor has been customized since being taken from a Mandalorian who had died while fighting Jedi. It is now mostly black with yellow accents around the helmet's visor and various other places. A long black cloth sleeve goes down the left arm from shoulder to wrist as a means to hide the Lightsaber Lance.
Hologram Communicator- Allows him to communicate with contacts, superiors, or enemies from great distances.
(Weapons? Armour? Space-ship? Feel free to go all out here... Within reason, of course. If you have military-grade equipment, describe, at least briefly, how your character might have that in relation to your backstory.)
Backstory:
Cobier possessed a strong connection to the force even as an infant, which a group of Sith warriors sensed while attacking his village during a skirmish with Jedi. Kidnapped for the traits his species was famous for by the Sith, a Lord took him under their dark wing and trained him in the ways of the Sith. After all, a Miraluka Sith would be not only rare but useful in hunting down Jedi when the time was right. For years his master trained him as an apprentice under strict watch to ensure ever increasing progress. When given the task of putting together a lightsaber, Cobier chose a purple crystal instead of the standard red one used by the Sith. But his master allowed it out of curiosity since the boy has no actual eyes, wondering what the choice meant.
Often he showed himself to excel in using what some term the 'jedi mind-trick' and in using the force to move objects as well as himself. But while he fell further under the influence of the Sith, he also noticed there were no other Sith like him despite the varied races in their ranks. This alienation led to a very unique anger and hatred which Cobier utilizes during battle to focus on and motivates him to a terrifying degree. Any who have faced him in battle have witnessed this first hand.
Years later, he has grown up to become one of the youngest to progress from an apprentice to the rank of a Sith Saber. In other words he is now equal to that of a Jedi Knight. But this promotion has occurred only recently. Many would attribute this ascension to the race he belongs to and his personal connection to the force. His first days in this new rank were spent creating a custom lightsaber that he had dreamed of for years and acquiring personal gear to distinguish himself from the apprentice he once was not so long ago. Now filled with hate and anger, his first true mission as a Sith Saber brings him to the Illia Station.
