Shar'ka Ross

Shar'ka Ross was a hard-nosed politician who tended to meddle in the affairs of King Harlan Takangamo. Having a reputation of being one of the nastiest politicians, Ross was elected into the Tristchanian Senate, representing Talaska District on Tristchana. Shortly after being elected into office, Ross immidately started vicious plots to get rid of the current King. It would be a political chess match between Ross and Takangamo.

Bio
Shar'ka Ross was hatched in Talaska District Tristchana in 31 ABY. Raised in a family of brutal, Old Warbird supporting politicians, Ross became a Senator of Talaska District, representing the staunchest Pro-Tumba Warbird district in Tristchana, at the age of 18. Discovering that he had Force talents, Shar'ka Ross sought out the knowledge of many great Jedi Masters, including an aging Tarakus Deadmerit, and Deathdragon. After accumulating vast years of knowledge, Ross returned to Tristchana in 56 ABY, using what he had learned through years of teachings, and bumped into Hawk Takanagamo/Darth Draco Minoris, and pledged himself to the teachings of Minoris, learning the Humanaparievan Force Arts. However, he did not develop any Sith alter-ego, instead, becoming a hidden Sith Lord, within the Tristchanian Senate.

After finding that his new master had some of the same goals in mind, Ross teamed up with his master to try and remove Harlan Takangamo from the throne. In one assassination attempt, made in 59 ABY, Ross tried to snipe Takangamo off the throne, but was caught by the King, in the process, and ended up losing his left arm and right leg in a lightsaber duel. In 62 ABY, he pushed a measure to break the peace treaty signed by Moorshavin Warbird and Takangamo, and succeeded to get his attention, as a part of a plan to blow up his head. In failing to kill the King, once again, he fled to the Gamma Turae System and eventually met with him again, getting his skull crushed in the process.

Ross went into hiding after several years of fighting Harlan Takangamo. He resurfaced on Dvorna in 224 ABY, in an attempt to kill Takangamo once again, and failed, again. Ross was forced to flee into the deeper parts of the new galaxy, and hide in Coruscant for several months. Now a fugitive of the Tristchanian Empire, Ross was spotted very quickly on Coruscant, and on his way off world, he killed three Commonorian Senators and a young Jedi, who ran across his path. Considered a crazed lunatic at this point, Shar'ka ran again, and disappeared.

In 353 ABY, Shar'ka Ross surfaced once more in the Hapes Consortium, revealing that he was in ailing health. Harlan Takangamo, who had cornered him this time, had just temporarily abdicated his throne to his daughter, and was searching for Ross alone. Ross explained to Takangamo that he had to stop running because he had Stage 5 Picasher's Syndrom, a cold-like illness that in Stage 5, was fatal to any dragon who contracted or inherited the nasty disease, and that he only had thirteen more years of life. He died in Hapes in 366 ABY, one of the most distinguished politicians and certainly one of the more psychotic Sith Lords of his time, never having a proper Sith name, something that he had chosen.

Behind the Scenes
= Development = Deadmerit came up with this character, as one of four archnemeses that his main character Harlan Takangamo had to have, one who would live for almost the usual lifespan for a Fa'neir Dragon, and one that would hide and resurface with menacing intentions from time to time. It was a very tough character to come up with, especially if he was to live for 335 years.

= Credits = Deadmerit wants to thank everyone that has been a positive influence in his life, and wants them to know that he is thinking of them all the time.
