Character Snapshot (Dralin Fortea)
Savant Dralin Fortea
Dralin has pale, weathered skin and dark red hair that hangs down to his jawline, healthy but unmanaged. He still refuses to keep facial hair, but he allows himself a day or two of stubble in extreme circumstances. Two cybernetic eyes dominate his face, catching the light oddly in their matte black surfaces, punctuated only by green rings as a stand-in for irises. Creases at the corners of these eyes and on his forehead form readily for nearly any facial expression. He inherited his father's nose, whose bridge is slightly raised compared to the sharp tip, and his mother's mouth, which cuts a shapely line above a solid chin. Raised, yet shallow, cheekbones would complete the classical image of a man born to Imperial privilege, were it not for the years of spacer life stamped over it. His shoulders are broader for his height, but he keeps a trim runner's physique appropriate to his shape and size.
Pyramidal Holocron
The Pyramidal Holocron is a vibrant, pyramid-shaped holocron containing vast depths of knowledge as well as the complete history of the Shadow Academy Society that can only be activated and used through the power of the Force. Data playback takes the form of any number of past Headmasters of the Shadow Academy.
Dark Summit Ring
The Dark Summit Ring is an ornate band bearing the emblem of the Dark Brotherhood. The presence of the Force can be felt faintly within the material.
Tattered Suit
Tattered Suit
(Formal Attire)
Type:
Armor
Category:
Attire
Formal Attire: Haggard Couture
Prototype: Formal Attire
The Formal Attire belongs to the upper echelons of society. Considered high class, it is often adorned with various fineries that come with the individual's station and prioritizes form over function.
Haggard Couture
This old suit has survived it all, thanks to its expensive fitting and quality materials, but its state would shock Dralin's former tailor. Tattered and scuffed at the edges, worn and frayed in the panels, he wears it nonetheless as a second skin, fit for every occasion. The seams holding the key points together were all reinforced long ago with his adventurous lifestyle in mind, but the occasional reminder from R3-D9 is still needed to make sure the sleeves don't come off when Dralin isn't paying attention.
Cybernetic
The Cybernetic is a technological replacement of an organic body part or parts.
Cybernetic Eye
Cybernetic is a cybernetic eye designed to mirror the natural appearance of its owner's remaining eye. The difference is nearly impossible to ascertain, the false nature of the eye only being revealed upon close inspection.
R3-D9
R3-D9
(R3-series Astromech Droid)
Type:
Droid
Category:
Astromech Droid
Droid Personality: Predatory Inclination
Droid Modification: Toughness
Droid Cosmetic: Functional Disrepair
Prototype: R3-series Astromech Droid
The R3-series Astromech Droid is a successor to the popular line of R2 astromech droids with faster processing abilities designed to fit in the droid socket of any starfighter. It is commonly designed with a domed or tapered code head, with a cylindrical core in addition to a base, retractable tread leg and two main legs. It has multiple appendages and attachments within its compartments, such as shock prods, welding torches, and is equipped with a holoprojector and a periscope that has a probe function which is usable in space.
Predatory Inclination
R3-D9 has developed a predatory nature similar to those often associated with assassin droids. As a result, R3-D9 will often approach a situation with the mind set of a hunter, and convey their findings as such. This can be disconcerting to others who are unaccustomed to R3-D9.
Toughness
R3-D9 has recieved redundant programming and a mechanical overhaul that reinforces known weaknesses from the original design that allow this R3-series Astromech Droid to continue operating and survive much longer against a wide range of attacks. This programming overhaul slightly slows processing times while the mechanical fitments can slightly reduce agility.
Functional Disrepair
R3-D9 could be said to have seen better days. Looking more like the result of a scavenging run than a fully functioning R3-series Astromech Droid, its plating is missing in several key locations which leaves its internal circuitry exposed. Wiring flows out of the main chassis before snaking its way back under the next panel along its path. Servos and non-critical systems are laid bare for all to see, but R3-D9 retains its functionality despite this.

The Bad Idea
The Bad Idea
(YT-2400 Light Freighter)
Type:
Space Vehicle
Category:
Light Freighter
Space Vehicle Cosmetic: Gothic Galleon
Space Vehicle Modification [OLD]: Wanderer's Workshop
Prototype: YT-2400 Light Freighter
The YT-2400 Light Freighter is a 21-meter long Light Freighter. Hyperdrive capable, it has great maneuverability and speed with heavy armor and shielding. Built by the Corellian Engineering Corporation, this vessel is favored by mercenaries and smugglers due to its defensive capabilities and modifiability.
Armament
2 dual laser turrets (1 top and 1 bottom)Complement
1 pilot, 1 co-pilot or gunner, and 1 gunner, for maximum efficiency
6 passengers
150 metric tons of cargo
Gothic Galleon
Imposing and weathered, the Bad Idea looks like the spacer tomb Dralin would one day haunt. The exterior lacks the rounded curves which are considered classic to the YT-2400 series, and instead consists of harsh, sharp angles of rough metal. The interior is poorly illuminated and filled with plenty of places to brood. The vessel creaks and echoes, at times leaving those unfamiliar with its quirks with a sense of unease at its spaceworthiness.
Wanderer's Workshop
The secondary cargo hold has been repurposed into a makeshift garage-meets-library. It contains benches and tools for droid repair and cybernetics maintenance, as well as a haphazard collection of literature and reference materials and the most comfortable chairs Dralin could drag aboard. The workshop takes up a third of the standard YT-2400's available cargo space. Though it limits the amount of material the ship may carry, which would normally be seen as a drawback in a ship favored by smugglers, it helps see to his lifestyle's specific demands.
Lightsaber
Lightsaber
Type:
Weapon (Lightsaber)
Category:
Lightsaber
Basic Lightsaber Cosmetic: Light Steel Armory (Green)
Prototype: Lightsaber
The Lightsaber is a weapon used by Jedi and Sith. It is a plasma blade, emitted from a hilt and powered by crystals that determine the characteristics and color. It is useful as both an offensive and defensive weapon depending on the skill of the one wielding it. Capable of cutting through virtually anything including blast doors given enough time.
Light Steel Armory (Green)
Lightsaber has a simple cylindrical hilt in a light-gray durasteel finish, with an activator switch near the top, and a bright green blade when activated.
Dralin has had years of wandering and bumping into strangers to provide greater perspective to his life, as well as ample introspection opportunities while floating through the boundless void. His ship is his home and his ticket toward the next experience that could expand his personal horizons. At the same time, his isolation aboard his ship has also left Dralin few close friends and allowed him to build up vast stores of guilt over the acts he has committed in the name of the Brotherhood and his own satisfaction, and their dark waters regularly attempt to drown him.
Convinced that he must work to undo all the harm he has caused in his three decades of life, Dralin will not allow his path to be blocked or diverted. He drives himself forward using his determination to do better as a fierce engine, but if he's not careful he'll find himself burned up as its fuel. Dralin may have to crawl over the finish line, but he'll make it if it's the last thing he does.
Dralin has always been a man of particular taste, and his personal discipline has always lent itself well to keeping a schedule. Treating his murderous astromech droid R3-D9 as a butler, Dralin will see to it that he has his afternoon tea and biscuits. He always finds the time for a habitual meal and follows his personal schedule to the letter. This is usually seen as an annoyance or a hindrance by those he travels with, but Dralin finds that it helps him keep cool and focused in a crisis.
Dralin believes that he is changing from the Dark Jedi he once was, and he believes anyone has it in them to do so as well. Perhaps, with enough personal effort, he could save his old friends, one at a time if he has to, and help them see a better path for themselves. Dralin's willing to put the time into this project, but that does mean supporting individuals who perform horrible acts, hoping that they will change. How many will be hurt by Dralin's hope for his friends?
Dralin is no longer one to try to assert his crude will over the natural state of the world. As a master of Vapaad and Sliding Hands, Dralin's combat philosophy emphasizes placing trust in his instincts and intuitively seeking the ebb and flow of combat. When in a fight, Dralin walks with the Force, actions unplanned and at ease even when vicious. Though this keeps his demeanor almost disturbingly calm and makes him unpredictable, he can lose himself dangerously in the reactive nature of his styles as he seeks oneness with his environment.
When locked in a struggle with another Force user, Dralin tends to be harsher than against mundane combatants, making liberal use of his telekinetic prowess. He punctuates his dodges and reversals with physical blows of power designed to keep his foes off-balance, and he doesn't hesitate to try to knock down barriers erected by them. This can be an exhausting way to fight, but Dralin often relies on the ability to strike from a distance to outweigh that cost.
