Physical Description

Anubis Taldrya is a tall Umbaran cyborg male who stands at a height of nearly six and a half feet tall, enhanced and twisted by the Sith Alchemy he loves so dearly. Like most of his species, Anubis' frame is lithe, with a pale skin tone that lacks any color from being consistently concealed by his garb. Anubis has a soft and smooth complexion, marred by slightly sunken eye-sockets. Both his head and body are devoid of any hair, and his eyes a set of crimson irises with an inner ring of fiery orange flakes, surrounding onyx black pupils.

The lower half of his jaw has been separated by a lightsaber, necessitating an uncomfortable custom cybernetic apparatus to breathe and speak. Extensive cybernetics have also been integrated into Anubis' body with the entire upper right portion of his chest cavity, complete right arm, left forearm, and lower left leg being cybernetic as well.

My Destiny... Is My Own (General Aspect)

Some have the belief that the Force is the guiding principle in the galaxy, a power that creates and changes people's destinies based on their standing and actions taken. Anubis goes against this grain. This Umbaran does not conform to any norms, whether they be social, procedural, technical, or cultural, instead having formed the belief that he alone controls and forges his own destiny.

This freedom allows Anubis to make choices, moral or otherwise, that others may find hard and not be held back by the notion that the Force does not will him so and therefore he cannot or will fail in his endeavors. Unfortunately, this belief system also forces the Umbaran to take more risks, sometimes putting himself or others in danger needlessly.

Avatar of Sephtis (General Aspect)

Thanks to a failed Sith Alchemy rite, Anubis' body is co-inhabited by his own consciousness and that of an ancient Sith alchemist and engineer known only as Sephtis. While the Umbaran has "both hands on the wheel" and for the time being remains in control of his own body, the sinister voice of Sephtis is constantly knawing at his consciousness like a parasite buried deep in the skull, trying to further his own goals and seize control.

Sephtis has agreed to share his immense alchemical and technological knowledge with Anubis at the severe cost of his life essence, with the ancient Sith constantly harnessing his host's soul to sustain himself. This requires the Umbaran to consistently and ever-increasingly utilize Force Drain on other living creatures to sustain the two consciousnesses inside his body, leaving him ultimately at the mercy of the ancient Sith spirit.

We'll Build A Wall! (Personality Aspect)

Anubis' personality can only be described as icy, disciplined, and steel-like in his demeanor and interactions with others - reminiscent of Darth Vader. He is incredibly stubborn, believing his solution or answer to be the valid avenue of pursuit; with no room for errors or miscalculations on the part of others. He is ruthless in his tactics, devoid of mercy, and does not laugh, willing to use anyone to further his own personal goals.

Anubis is normally quiet when dealing with other people, with conversations short and to the point - his only actual conversations being with the closest of allies. He prefers to leave no room for interpretation of his words, nor waste any of his modulated, mechanical breaths.

The Zuguruk (Personality Aspect)

Throughout his time in the Brotherhood, Anubis has been exposed to a myriad of Sith knowledge. This exposure led him to form a deep obsession with the teachings of Ancient Sith Magic, Sith Alchemy, and various Sith technologies. The Umbaran strives to learn everything he can about Sith technologies and Force-technology integrations, from weapons to droids to architecture, and everything in between.

Anubis can often be found conducting research or tinkering with different Sith technical processes and technologies, eschewing relationships with many of his allies to pursue advanced knowledge on these fronts - with many lighter-aligned members of the Brotherhood likely steering clear of his experimentations due to their dark origins

A Man Of Commitment. Focus. Sheer Freaking Will. (Combat Aspect)

Anubis is a well measured behemoth of sheer will and commitment, with an immense level of focus and high level of Resolve on his end goal. He allows nothing to stand in his way of his intended target or objective. This Umbaran isn't afraid to go outside the box when conventional weapons fail or he's restricted of his typical armament, utilizing the most rudimentary items like a hydrospanner or eating utensil.

Anubis is unconcerned with collateral damage, procedural norms, or the rules of engagement. He does not care about fighting "clean". His goal is to eliminate the target or complete the objective, with failure not an option that crosses his mind. This brash and somewhat reckless do-it-or-die mentality almost always puts him at an increased risk of a permanent injury or impairment, with minor injuries usually the norm.

A Destructive Force (Combat Aspect)

Anubis uses the Force first in combat, in creative and unorthodox ways. He mixes Telekinetic Strikes and quick bursts of Force Lightning to launch an onslaught of attacks on his enemy, bending nearby technology to his will with Mechu-Deru. When separated from technology he can manipulate the Umbaran gets increasingly desperate, increasing the chances he will make a critical miscalculation or mistake.

When forced to engage in combat with his lightsabers, Anubis uses a hybrid form utilizing principles of Juyo and Shien to dominate and overwhelm his opponent through striking from odd angles and deceptive stances, ignoring standardized lightsaber sequences and using his full athletics ability to launch an onslaught of uninterrupted strikes. When his mind surrenders to lightsaber combat Anubis does not know where his body will take him and has a hard time formulating a defensive strategy, leaving him openly exposed for a potentially fatal or near-fatal strike.
