Santeria Decuir/Origins

==Origins==
Twilight spattered the Frenzied River of Dathomir the time at which Abaddon and Santeria had been born; their parents, High Priestess Shiva Decuir and Sorcerer, Vishnu Merchion, were very prominent members in their respective guilds: the Frenzied River Clan  and that of the Sorcerers of Rhand. Discovering that both their children were Force sensitive, they had spared no other time and begun training their twins.
had not been an easy feat, to be the eldest daughter of powerful parents who desired absolute power by any means necessary. Santeria had been a catalyst in their plans, their abilities in divination and Darksight favoring them as they saw what their precious child would become in the future.
Much of what had shaped Santeria had been the direct feed of Darkside energy in swells of deadly sins into her as an unborn by Shiva. The means of this had gone undiscovered as the magick had been far too great for others to understand as much of it had come directly from the fountain of Shiva's own power. However, this method was approved of by Vishnu as he had seen the future self of his daughter.
===Children Shouldn't Play With Undead Things===
*First encounter with Mak Manto
Roon... roonstones... stepping path into the world. It had been upon Roon soon after the escape from the fighting circuit that Santeria had come into contact with Mikhael Bakunin. They had become friends, despite their backgrounds and even made an encounter with Mak Manto. Eventually, roonstones had been collected and the Nightsister had found herself being drawn by the ancestors to Rhand.

Orphaned. Abused. Broken. Alone.
Jubilar, the last place anyone desired to be as a slave or an orphan. During the tenure beneath the Sith banner, several campaigns had been made to Dathomir; the first had been a few short years after the exile had been propositioned when the Sith motioned to liberate the wild planet as their own. Upon the travels, Santeria had begun to design her revenge as she took control of the Frenzied River Clan.
Captured and induced with drugs to negate the path of the Force, Santeria had become an object of entertainment. It was within the arena that the Nightsister had met a Mandalorian by name of Kel Kreiger. Together, they escaped the chains that bound them and took their vengeance to those who kept them as sport.
Upon escape, the Witch and Mando parted ways with a debt to each other to be repaid several decades later. Leaving Jubilar, the Nightsister had returned to Darth Terace.
With completion of her training, and granted Knighthood by her master, Santeria sought out Remy Gray. Words of this man had caught her attention as it had been whispered by the other Sith; an alchemist, a dark soul that one been one with the occult, the Nightsister dove into her lust for power and begun another trek down the path of Apprenticeship with the Sith Master. From him, Santeria had learned the dark arts of the Sith and the hidden paths of Necromancy.
===My Faith Brings Your Death===
*Occupation of Necropolis
*Reconstructing the Infinity Gate
*Creating an Incarnation - Asatru Decuir (Max Lee)
*The Coven
During the tenure at the rank of Sith Knight and Clan Mother of the Frenzied River Clan, Santeria Decuir had found a grand interest in a new religion, Necromancy. It was through such tomes on the dark art that she had become aware of Necropolis and the legend of Sycorax; she had left the wilds of life upon Dathomir in search of the witch. However, the young Nightsister was disappointed to learn that the woman had died and her secrets with her.
In retaliation over such disappointment, Santeria had begun using her Force magick to gain the trust of the Necropolitans and entertained their desires of fortune telling and bringing beloved pets back from beyond the grave. It had not been long until the Nightsister had gained dominion over the cemetery world.
===The Devil's Rejects===
*Circle of Tyrants
*Meeting Azerath Taikar
*Birth of Krishna and Dharma Decuir
*Adoption of Amara Decuir
*Creating an Incarnation - Raphael Decuir
It had been after the rigorous training beneath Lord Gray was complete, that the Force beckoned wildly for the Nightsister. Such a journey had lead her to Chandrila to a hidden cave known as the Den of Woe. It had been here, many connections had been former with other Sith, and where she was reborn as a Dream Tyrant.
The, Den of Woe, held a great significance in the life of the Nightsister, Santeria. Blessed with an abundance of power through the Darkside, the young Knight had become a more pivotal role within the galaxy. As the wheels of fate had begun to churn, there was one man who had been within her shadow. Azerath Taikar, devout Sith Knight, had been a crass man; he craved power and perfected the art of solitude. It had been on Chandrila that Santeria had met another brethren of the order.
At first meet, the Force had called to the witch about the man, but it was swiftly ignored as the pair had displayed emotions of disgust for the other. However, due to the cult, the Circle of Tyrants, they had been forced to work amongst each other. It was difficult for Santeria, finding disgust in the male gender on a whole, to allow herself to be near them in any fashion. Such hatred had become tolerable and both Santeria and Azerath had begun to enjoy the company of each other; this eventually lead to an extended weekend upon Coruscant together.Time does not heal all wounds.
This was a notion clutched unto by Santeria as the years had gone back expeditiously - having given birth to twin daughters, Dharma Decuir and Krishna Decuir, had not soothed the emotional pain either. Time had been spent, coursing through the galaxy trying to find Azerath, the man whom she had shared herself with. Some might have considered it foolish, premature even, that the pair had undergone hand-fasting that would bind them together as husband and wife and the acts that followed which led to the unplanned conception of their daughters.
A tear in the Force had been what caused Santeria to locate Azerath, but it had not been the same man whom she had joined with. Possessed by the same demon that drew him to the Den of Woe, he was bedeviled by Death himself. A battle of epic proportions reigned, Santeria invoking the ancestors of her past, to encroach her presence within the mind and soul of Azerath; it had been that battle of mental warfare that had won his soul back.

*Breaking Dawn - Occupation of Pelagon
*Birth of Angelus Decuir
*High Priestesshood and Mastering the Force
*Birth of Isaac Decuir
*She's In Love With Herself - Creating an Incarnation - Invidia Decuir
Azerath and Santeria had decided to continue their partnership, residing on Dathomir at the Frenzied River Clan in the Château de la Misère. To which soon after a son, Angelus Decuir, had been born to them. During the tenure at the rank of Sith Knight and Clan Mother of the Frenzied River Clan, Santeria Decuir had found a grand interest in a new religion, Necromancy. It was through such tomes on the dark art that she had become aware of Necropolis and the legend of Sycorax; she had left the wilds of life upon Dathomir in search of the witch. However, the young Nightsister was disappointed to learn that the woman had died and her secrets with her.
Dathomir had been a hallowed place for the Witches of Dathomir, but the planet had become plagued by those of the Jedi order and the Rebellion. In the eyes of, the Prestige Decuir, that would not do. Santeria had held several campaigns to bring together rogue Nightsisters and the Spiderclan, even Nightbrothers had answered the call; their purpose - eradicate those that opposed their reign and together no one could put them asunder. With a silver tongue and promises of blood and glory a coven had been formed. The cult terrorized the other villages, burning them to the ground and slaughtering their Clan Mothers without even the bat of an eyelash as they had been led by their elected Priestess.
Accoladed among the Sith and of the Nightsisters and Nightbrothers, Santeria has been approached by many for an alliance; Executor Adelbert Disra and Sith Master Venge Draclau had been among the comrades of her cause. It had been the pact between Master Draclau and the Nightsister to bring Dathomir to its knees and joined underneath the power of the Sith that their alliance grew.

*Return of Love Lost
*Birth of Nymphadora Decuir
*Nightsister Roulette
*Immortality Be Thy God
*Adoption of Azalyn Decuir
*Pursuit of Kahne Porte
Plains rolled with waving shades of veridian-- a storm was on the horizon. Murderers, the Devil's Disciples; this is what they were called. It had not been just that of the Dathomiri people, but of those who were Jedi and their diamond dogs the Rebellion that marked them these. One by one, the Nightsisters and their respective covens along with the Nightbrothers that roamed the mystical world, were captured. They were bound by stun cuffs, only the strongest ones that could hold the Force users, and some were silenced so no chants could be uttered. The people cried, those beneath the protection of the Jedi and their Allyans, for an end to the deception... they wanted the daylight, the salvation, the freedom from the Nightsisters and Nightbrothers that caused terror on Dathomir. Like floats in a parade, the Nightsisters and Nightbrothers had been ushered to their fates upon vast ships. "Santeria Decuir, your crimes are numerous against the members of The Alliance. Nightsisters and Nightbrothers of Dathomir you will be charged with murder and terrorism. The punishment is not imprisonment, but death by being hung."
Death was not to be for the High Priestess and her daughters, Krishna and Dharma.
"Due to an appeal by persons left to be unknown, your punishment of death is waived. The punishment to fit your crimes is excommunication from the Sith order, Santeria Decuir, and your people exiled to Necropolis. You are all banished from Dathomir and should any of you return, the punishment is death."
They were going to regret not spilling her blood across the grounds of Dathomir. A plague upon their houses would fall... they would know fear.
Oh how they flattered her with tales of murder and terrorism-- that wasn't even enough of what she had done. Santeria was disappointed. She laughed, boisterous and conceited while they delivered the punishment of being sent to Necropolis. How ignorant they truly were despite their might for they would have known such a world was not unknown to her. Many times excommunication and exile had befallen the Nightsister, and more times than such she had returned to reap vengeance.
One question remained, one that annoyed her so greatly. Who had been the one to appeal their death sentence? It still remains unknown, but it had been the plea of Katarine Ryiah that had saved them all.
Solders had drilled their blaster barrels, shoving Santeria forward. There were hundreds gathered, hundreds that if she should have tried to escape would soot her in the head and ensure she was truly lifeless. She was escorted onto the transport where the cells were, her head drawn high.
Unbeknown to the Coven, the Jed, and Rebellion, it had been The Galactic Empire using them all for pawns to exact justice upon the witches they feared. Eventually, The Coven had discovered the truth, but it had not been until years later. {C}The tale of the planet had not been soon forgotten as Santeria continued her leadership over Necropolis even through her ascension to Sith Master and High Priestess of The Coven. The Great Exile from Dathomir had been been a turning point for many Nightsisters and Nightbrothers and opened an opportunity for the dark deity to introduce them to another world which offered more promise to their religion.
Santeria had not allowed for the plans of The Jedi Council and The Rebellion to take hold of their destiny. Upon the ships set for an undisclosed location, a mutiny had occurred and the Nightsister took the advantage and redirected the transports to Necropolis.
At the battle of Dathomir which had taken place nearly forty years later, the Dreaming River Clan had been visited by Christian Decuir, brother of Santeria Decuir. In an effort to gain an ally and to offer them a pardon, the Nightbrother had come with the treaty to end war between their sovereigns. Mother Polaris had accepted, though it was met with great resistance and the end of her life along with other clan elders.
During the peace talks, Jedi and Allyans and Sith had come to interrupt and to persuade Polaris from giving into The Coven's proposition. It had been their unwanted presence and insensitivity of the gathering that had persuaded Polaris to sign the treaty. A battle had ensued across the village of the Dreaming River Clan settlement, causalities on both sides. It had been the victory of Santeria and the The Coven that had won them that position; in an effort to remove the plague of the Jedi influence, each clan member was given the choice - death or conversion.
Upon their victory, the opportunity had risen to ensure that the Dreaming River Clan would be loyal to The Coven. In place, a member within their own guild was selected to lead them - Pandora Marzullo. The young woman had been loyal to their cause, even more so to the High Priestess, and loyalty was rewarded. This would be the first of many adjustments to The Coven that would be made as they continue on to restore Dathomir back to its former glory.
Upon the exile of the Nightsister and Nightbrothers from Dathomir, a relentless assault had plagued the mystic planet of Dathomir. War engulfed the clans, leaving blood and despair in its wake, but it was evident that The Coven would not rest until their beloved homeworld was theirs. In a most devious plot, the High Priestess along with the High Witch Council led the Witches on an assault that none would soon forget. Enticing the Dark Veil Order by offering one of their own as a catalyst and invoking their power into another, Dathomir's Vitality was wrought upon the planet draining it of energy as the life force from every flora and fauna was evaporating only to leave the planet a post-apocalyptic wasteland. Finding the war to be futile, the Jedi and the Allyan Clan had evacuated from Dathomir as the Nightsisters and Nightbrothers continued their assault on the lightwitch clans and Jedi Temple within Aurilia; the death toll was catastrophic on both sides. The Coven had driven out their enemies, but at a grave cost to everyone even them as no one was left unscathed by the horror of that battle.
Immorality is a coveted gift and curse; such is a desire that takes a man or woman to great lengths to journey after. The quest for the truth behind such a fable had driven Santeria Decuir since her early teenage years as her heart had become void of all compassion and only the desire for destruction laid in its wake.
