Darth Arvo'sidav

 "Ferocious. Wild. Barely in control of his own power. Perfect."

- Darth Adys

Darth Arvo'sidav was a  Lord. Having descended from the tribe of Skakoan-mutated Nelvaanians, he stood taller than most species, at more than two meters tall. He was a powerful Force Adept who was taken in by the Sith Facility on Nelvaan.

Early Life
As a child, Arvo'sidav was well liked in his tribe. His usage of the force helped them to no end. He became a renowned warrior at the age of twelve, fighting off beasts and predators with ease. Unfortunately, he lived in the less advanced part of Nelvaan. Where parts of the world were advanced to the point of bustling cities, his tribe was left in the primitive age. This was mostly likely due to the awkward way that civilizations advanced in the Galaxy. New technology was brought over by other species, so clumps of a population would advance to the next stage, without naturally reaching that point. Because of this, Arvo was a sitting duck for the likes of the Sith Facility on Nelvaan. Darth Adys approached his tribe and claimed that he and three other force sensitive children were infected with a terrible plague. The tribe cautiously allowed the Sith to take him in to cure it. Darth Adys soon began training him in the ways of the Sith. Eventually, when he asked if he could return to his tribe she agreed. But just as she was about to bring him back, she made him watch as her Sith Commando's, disguised as Republic troops, stomped through his village, destroying his entire tribe. This filled him with enough hate to last a lifetime. He continued training as a Sith apprentice.

Dictator of Nelvaan
Arvo'sidav quickly established himself as the most powerful of Adys' apprentices. He took it upon himself as a personal project to prove this by slaying each and every one of his rivals. During the battle, almost his enitre lower half was removed, but he continued fighting until he was the only one left, and he then blacked out, restored by the medical droids and given a robotic, prosthetic lower half (that had to be replaced every few years, as he was growing. He was ashamed of it, knowing that his own fury had made him sloppy, and blamed this injury on the Republic who had fed him such anger. He usually covered the metallic legs with fake Nelvaanian fur. However, Adys was pleased by his victory, and allowed him to lead his homeworld in a new revolutionary movement. To join the Sith Empire. She revealed that she had been working toward reviving the with her own Sith forces. Arvo'sidav revealed to his people in the more populated cities the horrors that the "Republic"(really sith commandos) had been inflicting on their smaller tribes. A small show of military might as well as dark side corruption, flattened any resistance Nelvaan could show to Arvo'sidav's reign. He was declared dictator of Nelvaan, and his first act was reinstating the Sith Empire to fight off the Galactic Republic.

Capturing Rodia
In the Battle of Rodia, Arvo'sidav demonstrated his newfound political power and military might. He was only eighteen, but a fierce warrior, showing some of the greatest sith potential in several thousand years. He launched a campaign on the nearby planet of Rodia, showing his true tactical skills. He was able to cut down most of the Rodian defense with ease and capture it for Nelvaan's gains. During this time, the Republic recognized him as a threat, but did not realize he was working for Darth Adys, the forces of whom they were fighting up in the Core Worlds. Thus, they issued him a warning of surrender, and set up terms of agreement, benefiting both him and the people of Rodia. It was promised to be a short-term treaty, which the Republic would cast aside once they were in a better position to combat him. However, they did not realize that this small threat was directly linked to Darth Adys.

Collaboration of Forces
Darth Adys launched an operation known as the Collaboration of Forces. This was designed to link the Nelvaanian Marines in the Savareen sector, (along with the captured rodians), the Imperial Remnants in the Outer Rim of Hypori, Saleucami and Rattatak, and her Sith forces in the Core Worlds, such as Devaron, Duro and Coruscant. The Army sprung up all over the Galaxy, all at once. Nearly immediately, Republic forces responded by fighting against the forces on Coruscant, beating them back. Whilst the two sides clashed on Coruscant, Adys focussed on retreating from Coruscant - the attack on the planet was a distraction. Meanwhile, she captured Iridonia, Kalee and Korriban, forming a ring around Republic territories. Forces also pulled out of Coruscant to defend the now bustling, in construction planet of Odyss, leaving Coruscant in the lurch. The Sith then declared their new formation; The Techyys Monarch, as Adys brought out her Sith Apprentices to serve as officers in the new Sith Armies. The Monarch War had truly begun.

Slaying the Master
In the years following up to the Intelligence Era, the war entered a lull, as both forces recognized their new territories and began to adapt. Adys knew that it was important to wait, and to have patience. She made no moves to attack the Jedi Order, despite the rigid foothold it held in the Republic. Arvo'sidav grew weary of his master's inaction, and longed to attack the Jedi. Thus, during one of his missions, he sabotaged his own ship, crash-landing on, slaying the crew. He then sent a personal distress message to Adys. Though Adys knew it was a ploy, she went anyway. Arvo'sidav launched a surprise attack on her from the wreckage of his own ship, plunging his blade toward her body. She shocked the apprentice by catching the blade with her hand and tossing it aside. Arvo'sidav knew this was an impossible thing to do, and was genuinely shocked. However, he claimed that whatever trick she used would not prolong her life. He then charged at her bare handed, but was kept at a distance by a volley of. Arvo'sidav roared in defiance, claiming his claws would find her even if he was a mile away. As he said this, a series of emitted from his hands, taking form like claws or teeth, ripping and shredding the body of his master. As she died, Adys smiled, saying he was now truly ready. She explained that there were three trials he had to pass to become a true Sith Lord, in her eyes. The first was to see the security you rely on most dismissed impossibly - Accomplished by him ignoring her which removed his lightsaber from his grasp. The second was creating his own outlet of the force, which defines himself - What he called the "Force claw". The third, she said, was to strike down his own master. Arvo'sidav wasted no time, and sliced her into halves with her own blade, which he then kept on him in addition with his own, retrieved saber. He then declared himself the Supreme Commander of the Techyys Fleet, and took over as the leader of the army. He took upon a partner - the most promising of Sith Minions, and then he launched an all-out attack on the Jedi Order, destroying most of it. By 10,000 ABY, the Republic was losing the war, and so they awoke Nu Lendai, who resurrected the Hidden Order.

Leading the War Effort
Arvo'Sidav was leading the Sith Empire in the war, and though he had made many victories and pushed the Republic to it's limits, he soon learned the reasoning for his master's patience. He had lost many resources in the attempts to destroy the Jedi, and now they had recuperated, when he should have waited for them to reveal the ace in their sleeve. At campaigns such as the Battle of Rattatak, the Nal Hutta Raids, Outer Rim Sieges and Centrality Skirmishes he began to lose more and more power and territory. Because of this, he rashly led several invasions during the waning years of the war, on some of the Core Worlds, particularly Mygeeto and Neimoidia. These were great, but extremely costly victories and the planets were recaptured in less than a year. Arvo'sidav had acquired a new Apprentice, the next superior warrior of the Sith Minions. She was a very powerful Abyssin sith, who accompanied him on most of his campaigns.

Death
Finally, in 10,021 ABY Nu Lendai led a small task force of Jedi pursuing Arvo'sidav for the weapon designs he had stolen from a collaborative MerrSonn/SoroSuub sub-company. This new weapon had the potential for turning the tide in the war, when the Sith were finally being beaten back. Although defeating Arvo'sidav was not the purpose of the mission, he foolishly engaged all six Jedi sent on the mission, even after they had defeated his men by luring them in range of an air strike. He was thrown in the ruins of an old refinery, and machinery piled on top of him, breaking his body. Even so, he strained himself and stood up, facing the Jedi. Nu Lendai then explained that he would not kill him, but he would still die - Revealing that Arvo'sidav's padawan was the reincarnated form his former Master, Darth Adys. Arvo'sidav reeled in shock and disbelief, when Adys' reborn form jumped out and stabbed him in the back - with his own saber. She then retrieved the saber from her previous life from his body, and easily escaped the Jedi who were present. Though she remained, the day would put the Sith at enough of a disadvantage for a treaty to be signed, one that would finally end the Fifty-year War

Powers and Abilities
Arvo'sidav was an extremely powerful warrior, even without his usage of the force. He trained himself to the brink of destruction, and his teeth, claws and muscles made him a weapon in and of himself. He saw the force as an amplification for his strength, not a substitution. He "created" and refined a technique of Force Push that used the force like an extension of his claws, as it quickly inflicted several deep gashes on the target, sometimes cutting clean through. Adys observed that if he learned to control it, he would be able to cut an enemy in half with the slightest ease. He never reached this level of control, however. Arvo'sidav practiced a form of Vaapad, which he learned from Adys who had kept the seldom-mastered technique recorded throughout history. He was slightly short of complete mastery of it, but subsituted what he had not learned with his dual-bladed Jar'kai style (once he acquired his master's blade) and a vicious form of Juyo. Arvo was also able to blast huge volleys of force lightning all at once, which contained massive destructive power, enough to destroy a small building in one case. If he really strained himself, Arvo'sidav could focus his anger and create small tremors, preventing ground troops from moving easily or transports from staying upright.
