Demonicor

"You are my prime achievement; once the Jedi's shining star, now their bane!"

- Lord Kantuun to Demonicor

Demonicor born Dekor Setha was a male Jedi Master who was exiled from the Order, after they discovered his deep fascination with Revan. This was something the Order could no longer allow to continue. His decline into the dark side was evident to them. Exiled he continued his search for any mysteries of Revan. These mysteries eventualy found him the Sith. Unlike the Jedi they quickly embraced him.

Birth
"The doctor said I was a medical miracle. To my mother, I was just another thing she might sell to get her fix!"

- Demonicor

Driss Setha gave birth to a child named Dekor Setha. She had a deep addiction to death sticks. Because of this the child was born addicted to them, a displayed symptom of his different eye colors. He was malnourished and ran a severely high temperature, so much so that the mother nearly died of hyperthermia upon delivery.

Early life
"Do not ask me to tell you about my life. In its many twists and turns there is always one suffocating theme, pain!"

- Demonicor to Nassor

Up until ten years old he had daily medical visits for seizures. By age eleven his supposed father came to stay with them (indefinitely). This man was no more than street trash and it was very apparent. Around this time is when the physical abuse started. It would last for another two years until The Force booms in him, all of his anger would manifest into it and he would kill both of them.

Life as a Jedi
"You are one of the most skilled swordsman I have ever seen, second to me."

- Thursa Kour



The Knighthood Debacle
He was to be a full fledged jedi knight. The knighting ceremony was soon. Someone had broken into his room and written on his mirror: "I know what you did." This greatly disturbed him as he knew exactly what they meant. They knew about the death of his parents and how they died. He had only one choice, to hunt them down secretly. If the Order found out he would be ruined.

He was sent on a mission to negotiate with Thrubasa the Hutt. When he arrived the negotiations were over and a note was left for him: "Blood is on your hands jedi." After Thrubasa gives him a brief description of the man, he searched for him. But he was called back to the temple.

After reporting back to the council, Thursa introduces him to a man named Thal. It was him someone from his past. He was the one and he knew everything.

Life as a Sith
"I know anger, I know passion, I am a sith."

- Demonicor

Rumors and Death
Many rumors float around this man, some think he is Revan, nonsense. However one rumor persists above all others. Demonicor was buried on Deralia. Decades later the tomb would be uncovered but the body would not. It was nowhere to be found. Could it have been moved? Or is Demonicor still out there somewhere?

In his last days Demonicor searched religiously for ancient Force artifacts. Could he have found something to keep him alive all this time? Could an ancient Old Republic sith still be walking around? To convolute this story is the fact that some sith confess to have been trained by Demonicor. What does this mean? Are they using this name to still strike fear into the republic? Or could this figure be hiding, gathering an army to bring back to the jedi?

During Demonicor's time only a very select few knew the secret to sustaining life. One of them was their Emperor. A man who survived the Great Hyperspace War.

Personality and Traits
"Look at this, a child playing sith, pathetic."

- Kress

"I was not born a sith, I had to earn it."

- Demonicor

"Prove it!"

- Kress' last words.

He has always been a good strategist and tactician. Demonicor was in constant struggle with who he was.

Lightsaber Combat
Demonicor was above average with a lightsaber. What made him exceptional was his unorthodox methods with the weapon. He would lure his opponents into thinking he was a weak fighter. Then when the battle seemed won he would induce a frenzy of powerful and deadly and hybrid methods. He was always seeking to mask his true skill. On one occasion he outright dueled another sith, it seemed an even match, until Demonicor proved him wrong. It is hard to say just how impressive his skills were.

He was proficient at Jar'Kai, Trakata, Lus-ma, Form V: Shien/Djem So, as well as Juyo.

Behind the scenes
Demonicor was created by C. R. Powers. The name Demonicor can mean many things such as "demonic" or "demon icor." This was not intended when the character was created.

Originally, Demonicor was made on a SWTOR sith guild site called The Eternal Legion. He was played as an overpowered character. He once destroyed a whole battlefield and hundreds of troops. Afterward, he got on his ship and transfered his essence into a clone, as the original body was destroyed. Later, he would be defined and pulled away from the god-modding aspect of role-playing.

The creator ended up having arguments with The Eternal Legion, then renamed the Crimson Sunset, and eventually leave.

C. R. Powers created this character to be a person people knew would turn to the dark side. He is a psychological character and is intended to be a mix of all the things that can go wrong in a persons life. That way, when someone sees him turn to the dark side, the author's intension is that the reader has a deep sense of understanding and emotional ties. The core of the character's story suggests that no one intends to become a bad person, but sometimes it is chosen for them.
