Orakura

"Why expect me to be sane? You haven't seen the place I came from; the things I've done, yet you foolishly dub me as crazy. Yeah, maybe I am crazy; you wouldn't understand. Trying to understand my madness with a logical approach...is that not like searching for darkness with a torch?"

- Orakura

Orakura - revered as Orakura of  - is a - hybrid hailing from the crystalline world of. As a child, her force powers would manifest, causing her to gain recognition from her people. Her parents, however, knew that she would be sought out by the if news of her abilities were to be leaked. For the most part, she was isolated from all, becoming a prisoner in her own home. By the time she had turned fifteen, Orakura had grown to despise her family; they kept her from the outside world. In rage, she would kill them; such an act wouldn't go unnoticed. Her Kage clansmen would deem her a monster, but rather than trying to kill her, she was exiled from their city. It was during this time that she would locate one of the subtrams used to ascend beyond the pressurized atmosphere. Stealing a ship, she would leave her old life behind in search of a purpose.

This did not go as planned. News of Orakura's absence would spread from one of her old clansmen to a curious Imperial officer. The ship she had stolen was equipped with a tracking device - being a merchant ship, it had one should the ship be lost. When the Empire identified which ship was missing, it wasn't long before she was tracked, abducted, and ultimately, brainwashed. When she would come to, after the strenuous process of erasing her memories, she would find herself in an undisclosed location; no one would find her there. Shortly afterwards, her training to become a would commence. She was no longer Orakura; she was nameless.

Yet, even as one of the 's mindless soldiers, - maybe not mindless - visions of her past haunted her. Slowly but surely, her past life returned to her, and she even remembered her own name. Not desiring to serve the Empire, Orakura wouldn't return from one of her missions; faking her death so she could escape. From there, she would relocate to the ancient Sith world of. Revered as a demon, she has fully embraced the power of the dark side, the physical manifestation of such prowess taking on the form of a pair of cold, emotionless - curiously - blue eyes.

Abilities
Ever since her early childhood, it seemed as though Orakura would be a natural-born fighter. This was due to the unique combination of species that came about through her parents' bond - Zabrak and Kage. Her mid-battle instincts and agility are terrifying; both fast and powerful. Her abilities are only heightened by the strong connection to the force Orakura possesses. As a young girl, she had been seen lifting small rocks for her entertainment, and then throwing them at considerable speeds towards fellow Kage to get a reaction from others. Once she had been properly trained during her time in the Shadow Guard, her magnitude of her battle prowess would rapidly expand. Orakura learned to wield both the standard issue used by all Shadow Guards and a lightsaber - she had acquired one from the corpse of her first Jedi victim. With the latter of the two weapons, Orakura has shown extreme resilience in combat, having knowledge of a variety of forms through simple observation of who had been tasked with training the infamous Shadow Guard. yet, her specialty lies within the. In conjunction with her lightsaber skills, she employs a usage of various force abilities, as well. Such powers would include, , , and. The amount of different powers she possessed - along with her overall mastery - remains quite limited due to the fact that the Shadow Guard were not trained to become full-fledged Sith Lords. Nevertheless, Orakura's power is great, and although she lacks the formal training of a Sith, she has proven several times that she is more than capable of holding her own against such.

Physical Prowess
Perhaps her greatest asset, Orakura boasts both amazing speed and physical strength. Due to her father's - a Zabrak; a race known for their ferocity and brute strength - genetics combining with her mother's, - a Kage; a species that makes use of ninja-like tactics in battle - she would inherit a unique fusing of bloodlines that would make her the ideal warrior. Even without her weapons, she is just as dangerous as when she is armed - if not, perhaps more so, as such a rudimentary style of combat comes off as natural for her. She excels at hand-to-hand combat, having come across no such peer within a Jedi or Sith.

With the Shadow Guard undergoing some of the same training the Emperor's standard guard would, Orakura would learn many of the same fighting styles that they had been taught. She is an extremely versatile combatant. Her moves revolve around quick strikes meant to throw off the balance of the opponent. To do this, she employs a skilled usage of flips and spins in order to land kicks. The speed of her moves combined with the force behind them is usually more than enough to throw an enemy off. WIP
