Species: Human Gender: Male Era: Old republic era {Carbon freeze}- Clone wars era Homeworld: Serenno Affiliation: Custom Sith Lord / Custom Dark Jedi Location: Yavin IV Temple / Brotherhood of the Sith Spire - Georgia From the Holocron of Jedi master Ashe Darkfire, Later known as Darth Phyre, Sith lord. My story starts 3,700 years ago, before the start of the cold war, when the Sith returned. So grab a seat, this could take a while. I am still relatively new to this age, so my perception of time and the numbering of years may be a bit dated, so bear with me. I was taken from my home on Serenno at a very young age by the Jedi. They indoctrinated me into their order and trained me. It became apparent to them that I was a fast learner even at a young age.By the time I was 16, I was already Greatly skilled in the use of a light saber combat. Not actual combat per se, but sparring with training droids in the temple, using non-lethal training lightsabers. I picked up pretty fast on my other studies as well, you know, basic survival, Astrogation, agriculture, politics, piloting and navigation and the basic studies all younglings learn. You know, normal studies that I'm sure the Jedi of this age still learned. I always had a Hunger for knowledge, taking extra classes in my spare time, reading books, studying datapads and even Holocrons that I had access to. They allowed me access to Holocrons that other students weren't normally allowed access to, because I was a model student, ahead of my peers and always eager to learn and help out in the temple. I am eventually became apprenticed to Jedi Knight of some renown. He chose me as his apprentice, and we immediately formed a bond of brotherhood and went on many missions together. I eventually completed my trials and became a Jedi Knight myself and was told that I was then allowed to teach and they kept telling me that I should choose an apprentice of my own. It was many years before I eventually chose my own apprentice, I still went on several missions with my former master. We were on Alderaan When we heard our station at Korriban had been attacked! After all the excitement had calmed down, we eventually learned that the Sith Empire had returned! Pretty much after that, me and my master were assigned together and we thought many minor skirmishes and battles alongside allies against recruited soldiers of the Sith without actually seeing any Sith ourselves. We were beginning to wonder if they had truly returned, or if it were a hoax perpetrated to instill fear from an unknown enemy. Then one day we were dispatched to a remote jungle planet which held a Jedi outpost, that we lost signal from days earlier. We walked into an ambush. There were several troops there in black armor with blasters, but the thing that really frightened us was for the first time in our life we saw actual Sith warriors, red lightsabers ablaze! Their skill was incredible! They were living weapons! After what seemed like forever, we started losing the battle and decided to retreat, heading back to where our shuttle was hidden in the snow several clicks south of the temple. Our troops have been slaughtered and it was only me, a few enlisted and my master left. We were almost to the shuttle when I heard a very loud scream behind me. I turned just in time to notice the light saber swirling through the air coming straight for me and I ducked. My master, ahead of me, was not so lucky. The light saber cut him down like he was nothing and went flying back towards me, I dodged it again and it went back to the hand of the Sith that was following closely. It took all my strength to grab the body of my master and carry him with me while still running to our ship. Once I got to the ship and got inside, I set my master down on the floor, went straight to the controls, and started take off procedures. It was at this time I checked the monitors and noticed the Sith warrior that was chasing us had stopped and was now observing us escape, I guess she figured she put some fear into us and let us escape. On the way back to Coruscant, I was signaled and redirected to Tython, the original home of the Jedi, Coruscant had been attacked while the Jedi were on Alderaan conducting peace treaties with the Sith! A treaty had been signed with the Sith, legalizing or occupation of Coruscant, and laying down some ground rules, there was a bitter peace, but we were sort of at war at the same time. A cold war, as the masters put it. As time went by I eventually got over the death of my master, and took on an apprentice of my own. A human female just a couple years younger than me. I had trained beside her several years earlier. With her training near completion because of her former master getting killed in the line of duty, I chose her so to finish her training because style and skill matched mine. And, I know it's against the Jedi code, but I had a romantic attraction to her. We eventually got romantically involved which other deeper than we thought possible. We were sent on a mission a few years later to investigate a border dispute on an outer rim ice planet called Hoth, And we had several troops with us. But it was an ambush! In the snow, we fought off the Sith as best we could, but they decimated our forces slowly but surely. The Battle raged on for several hours, light sabers ignited and blaster bolts flying. Then, I heard my apprentice scream from behind me. I turned in time to see her drop her light saber and be pulled towards the Sith and impaled on his blade held in his outstretched arm. I never saw his face underneath the Mask he wore. The sense of loss hit me instantly, the rage hit me even quicker! Revenge! I wanted revenge! I started towards him as fast as I could. Every Sith, and every Imperial troop that got in my way met a quick end as I effortlessly plowed through them. Then, using the force, I leapt into the air about 30 feet from the one that killed her, pulled her light saber to my offhand and with both light sabers blazing I flew towards him. I landed on and impaled him in the chest with both light sabers. With what breath he could muster he begged for mercy, I did not even answer him, I sliced his head off and kept hacking at his body as hard as I could with both light sabers. Then I noticed my reflection in a polished piece of his armor and Saw my own bright orange and yellow eyes reflected back at me. It frightened me a little bit, but then I remembered her. I deactivated both light sabers and ran back to her, with her last breath she declared how deeply she cared about me and loved me. I told her I felt the same. After she took her last breath, I closed her eyes and carried her back to our ship. The battle was over, they killed my apprentice and my troops and I destroyed all of them. It was several weeks later that the council presented me with a special mission. I never completely got over her but I was healed as much as could be expected. And hid it from them very well, they had no clue that we had gone against the Jedi code and had feelings for each other. As I walked into the conference room in the Jedi enclave on Tython, I noticed several Jedi Masters a few of which have sat on the council at one time or another, several of our most well respected strategists, and lastly several well-respected Jedi generals. The highest-ranking master pulled me to the side and asked me if I was sure that I was able to perform this mission for them. He said I seemed a little off, and that something unknown clouded my mind. I told him that I was just stressed from all the recent action that I've seen and the combat I was in. I didn't let on to the fact that I had gained a hunger for knowledge and power just to make myself more powerful that I can't be defeated next time. I inquired as to the nature of the mission. They laid down the mission for me. We were losing too many of our numbers to the Sith. They needed to plant someone on the inside and they felt I was just the person for the job, and they had a way to do it. They had intercepted a shuttle with the new recruit that was force sensitive, heading to Korriban to meet with his new Master. They judged from the flight recordings and data on the shuttle that he had never met the master and the master had never met him. They were complete strangers to each other other than knowing that one was to teach the other in the ways of the dark side. I saw this as an opportunity to better myself. I'm a Jedi, I have control, I can control myself and not fall to the dark side, Yet gain Knowledge about the Darkside and perhaps control it. They had the Sith in a holding cell, he wasn't that powerful. The masters invaded his mind and interrogated him, aided my the force. Once I was briefed on locations, passcodes and such. They had me put on his simple black robes, boots, gloves, the belt, and the his saber. The plan was to get me to Korriban, to my New master as soon as possible as to make this Ruse happen. Could I do this? I was confident. I left for Korriban immediately. They were expecting me. I met up with the new master shortly after landing, there were other potential apprentices there too. It felt good being there amidst my enemy, and they had no idea. The whole time I felt a strange Lure to the dark side. It felt powerful, it felt good. I went on several missions for my new master, being pulled to the side by, and sent on several side missions by several Sith instructors on Korriban. They all had an agenda. They were all pretty much backstabbing each other to gain power and favor in the eyes of the dark council. Little did they know that I had my own agenda too and I was pulling some strings myself. I kept several Holocrons I had found on the planet in my quarters also some datapads, some texts and stuff detailing more powers that were forbidden by the Jedi but easily learned here with the Sith. I eventually met up with the Darth Zash. I could feel a dark power radiating from her. She wanted me to help her destroy the person who was my master at that point. I jumped at the chance to help her and become her apprentice, therefore gaining someone else I could learn a lot more from. Shortly after destroying my master and becoming her new apprentice, she Transferred me to the planet she resided on, Drummond Kaas, The Sith capital world. I pulled off several missions for her and several other Sith on that planet and learned a lot. She eventually gave me my own Fury class interceptor, With which to extend her reach and have me do missions on more planets for her. She was truly a backstabbing, evil woman. She had me traversing the galaxy and collecting artifacts for her, and I sensed her motives eventually would cause my downfall, and she would sacrifice me to become more powerful. Little did she know I had already disabled the tracking device and long-range remote-destruct that she had installed in my Fury class interceptor. Always a step ahead! Oh and I never did report back to the Jedi, the whole time I was with the Sith, I was there learning for myself. At this point I was fully aware that I had completely fallen to the dark side. I craved power, I craved knowledge, I wanted it all. And I will have it, one way or another. Although, unlike most Sith I didn't crave this power or knowledge to rule or make others subservient, or conquer. I just wanted it all to myself. And I wanted the rest of the galaxy to stay out of my business. I had already cast off my Jedi name, Ashe Darkfire, and took on the title of Darth Phyre, Lord of the Sith. I eventually deserted the Sith. Remembering a bit of my past before the Jedi, I knew I had great wealth at my disposal on my home planet of Serenno, so I decided to pay my family visit. When I arrived on Serenno, I used and fake identity. I didn't want the Jedi or Sith to find me. I found out that both of my parents had died several weeks earlier and they had left all their wealth to me in their will, But we're never able to contact me through the Jedi. I figured if the Jedi were to get a hold of this they use it for some moronic war-funding cause, so I had to act fast. Through Hacking several databanks, and going through several other sources I managed to get the money put into a dummy account. And I also gained control of the mansion that they had left to me on the northern continent in the mountains. At this point although I was Darth Phyre, I felt it was safe to just go by Lord Phyre. I established myself and invested some of the money wisely so as to have constant income, I upgraded my ship and made it so that it would not be recognizable as a standard fury class interceptor. I made it faster I made it more dangerous, I made it better armed and even fashioned a crude but workable cloaking device. Gotta love Stygian crystals! More time passed as I got all this accomplished. I Layed low and under the radar. I intercepted messages on the Sith Holonet several times and eventually learned that Lord Zash assumed that I had died on a mission, someone else with the same type ship as me, crashed on the planet where I was last known to be so she assumed I was dead. That works just fine for me. I felt it was time to spread my wings, so I went out in search of arcane, hidden knowledge, and possibly holocrons. I eventually came upon the spaceport of Narr Shaddaa, one could usually find info in the black market there, if you ask the right people the right questions. I witnessed a young street person sneak up on and successfully steal a bag of credits and a light saber off the belt of a Jedi that was standing in line at a kiosk to get food. He never even noticed she was there, I thought this beared investigation so I followed her, masking my presence with the dark side. I knew the Jedi, I knew him well. I did not want him to know I was there. I figured that they assumed I was discovered and was killed on my mission. She went and used the Jedi's money to buy herself some food and then she went and hid in an alleyway. I observed her for a while sitting there and eating. Then I felt a disturbance in the force, so I took to the shadows and hid myself. The Jedi was walking into the alley and saw her. He told her that he had sensed her, and he asked for his light saber back. She refused, so he ignited the second light saber he had the whole time. He asked her a second time, politely, to return his light saber. With that she dropped the food she was holding, ignited the light saber she stole and jumped perfectly over him flipping and landing on her feet and Took a slash at him. He Blocked it. They pressed on, exchanging slashes and blocks. Never really landing any hits on each other. Her fighting style matched my former apprentice's that died so long ago. He finally got a bit more aggressive and used the force and pushed her and she fell to the ground, his light saber flying out of her hand. he decided to take a downward swing on her, bad idea. I was there next to them, blade ignited blocking his downward swing before they even knew that I was there. He looked at me, and said my old name, Ashe Darkfire. Before I could respond to him, she had pulled the light saber back To her hand, and took his head off. Me and her both deactivated light sabers at the same time. She looked at me, and screamed that she had it under control, she didn't need my help. I convinced her that I needed her help, that she could be a great asset to me. I guess it was the thought of having the regular place to lay her head, and regular meals, that convinced her to go with me and eventually apprentice herself to me. She went with me to collect Holocrons and more Sith knowledge and I sent her off on her own sometimes as well. She became powerful, I was a very proud Master indeed. Until the visions started. I started having visions, both awake and asleep, that the Sith would not be on the winning side of this war. I also had visions of a time when the Sith would rule, one Sith, would rule. With one apprentice and several "hands". I kept hearing the name Sidious in my Visions. I studied more and more, I started to prepare. Time travel was beyond my force powers, but there had to be another way. I won't fill you in with all the boring details but by the time several months had passed, I had two fully functional carbon freeze chambers, and medical droids that could going to sleep mode indefinitely, set up in the lower levels of my residence. It was easy enough to convince my apprentice into going into Carbon freeze with me, for she had the visions too. Anyway after tweaking some solar cells and geothermal power generators connecting to the carbon freeze Chambers and the computers. I set them to freeze us, and then unfreeze us in the time I sensed in my visions. I also set my Holonet transceiver to go active every few years and listen on all frequencies for a week at a time listening for keywords that I heard my Visions, Sidious, Confederacy of independent systems? There were several keywords I heard that were foreign to me but I set it to listen for them, And unfreeze me in the event that there was talk of these things on the Holonet. That would mean it was time. Eventually the time came we both performed a Jedi meditation ritual I remembered from my old days. We did this just to calm ourselves and prepare us to be frozen for a very long time. Then, We prepared the residence, we had let the local plant life overgrow the outside of the place so noone would get nosey. Also it was a good thing that this place was built into the side of the mountain, in the middle of nowhere. The bunker underneath the residence where the carbon freeze chambers were wired into the computers was an enormous, Steelcrete bunker that would last forever. We then froze ourselves. We remained frozen for nearly 3,700 years. When I awoke I had a mild case of hibernation sickness. I couldn't see, I could barely stand. The only thing I was certain of, is that the voice I was hearing was not that of my apprentice or the medical droids. But I was weak and helpless so I just went with it, the person that was there was obviously trying to help me. Carrying me to the med pod, and putting an oxygenating respirator on me. As well as attaching several diagnostic medical electrodes to me. Eventually when I could see again and felt a bit better, I took the respirator off and started coughing. The young man standing before me was in traditional Jedi garb. I asked him the only two questions that seem important at the time. What year is it? Who are you? He rattled off with a year designation that I really didn't understand at all. I told him the numerical designation of the year I was frozen in. He looked at me, very confused, and said "If that is truly the year you were frozen, you've been frozen for nearly 3700 years?" I asked him who he was, he Told me that he used to be the Jedi Knight Shad Ovar, and that he sensed my presence and power from across the galaxy, and he came here to become my apprentice. Speaking of apprentices, I looked over to the other Carbon freeze chamber and asked him were mine was. The other Carbon freeze chamber appeared to have already been activated, then I noticed the damage to mine. He told me when he arrived he only found me frozen in Carbonite, the other block already defrosted, and damage, massive light saber damage to the controls on mine. Well, I guess that means my apprentice unfroze herself and sabotaged me and went her own way. He proceeded to tell me, a week earlier he walked out of and turned his back on the Jedi order. Evidently about two hours after he left the temple, the supreme Chancellor of the republic, who was secretly a Sith Lord, this Darth Sidious from my visions, executed something known as order 66. A Jedi purge, using cloned, pre-conditioned and programed troopers, wiping out nearly every Jedi in existence in this time period.This Sith lord, the elected supreme Chancellor, with a single apprentice Darth Vader, had control of the entire Republic and possibly the Jedi, and they didn't even know it. He had orchestrated the war that had been going on as well. I sensed that things would not go well for me if I sout him out. So I took Shad Ovar as my apprentice and renamed him Darth Koros. Being ever so careful to stay under the radar of this Darth sidious. Me and my new apprentice went on missions seeking out Holocrons and Sith knowledge. We found a veritable treasure trove by sneaking into the remains of the Jedi temple, past the well-trained clone guards of Darth sidious. We kept a low profile, and operated out of my hidden palace on Serenno, which was incredibly still in good shape after nearly 3700 years. I might actually try to eventually meet this Lord sidious. He has specially trained warriors and inquisitors searching out a rebellion that has formed. He probably already knows about me, I've already ran into two of his inquisitors, one I killed, the other injured but most likely made it back to him and told him about me. I also sense that there is more than one more who has sensed my presence, and even now is seeking me out for the knowledge I possess. Possible apprentices? I have no clue. In the current timeline the Sith follow something called the rule of two, laid down by another Sith from after my time called Darth Bane. And in my time, there was no rule of two for the Sith, and we seemed to do pretty well for what it was worth. End of recording. |
