Darth Vexx

Lord Vexx

**Karmin Vexx**, a Force-sensitive human female, was a legendary Dark Lord of the Sith and Empress of the Sith Empire. Vexx ruled during the Old Republic Era, and later was reawakened after about 50 ABY, where she would rule again. From a young age, it was increasingly clear that Vexx was going to fall to the dark side. She was quick to anger, and with her mother and father both being Sith, she was already predisposed to the ways of the dark side. When Karmin was 14, her father Kel Vexx killed her mother Maeven Vexx after an argument escalated too high. This event cemented Karmin Vexx's destiny as a Sith Lord as dark side energy erupted out of her resulting in the death of Kel Vexx.

As empress, Karmin Vexx had personally seen to countless important matters instead of sending assassins or acolytes. Due to her status as by far the reigning Sith Lord, she completely out matched any other force user in the galaxy. Karmin often found herself battling multiple Jedi, and winning with ease. She built her entire kit off of the idea of facing the strongest, utilizing Etaan crystals in both of her dual-phase lightsabers, which made the sabers deadly to clash with. This power made Karmin a feared and respected leader, and her empire had reached heights that had never before been obtained before. The Jedi themselves incorporated into their teaching that it's better to run if they were faced with the option of confronting a Dark Lord of the Sith under Karmin's reign.

## Biography

### Early Life

Karmin Vexx was born in 3948 BBY to Kel Vexx and Maeven Vexx in Kaas city, Dromund Kaas. Her father, Kel Vexx was a Sith assassin and her mother, Maeven Vexx, was a Sith Inqusitor. From a very early age, it was clear that Karmin Vexx had an unnaturally strong affinity for the force, even among masters of the force. Being born in Kaas city, an epicenter of Sith and imperial activity and her parents being Sith, Vexx was predisposed to the ways of the Sith at a very young age. Vexx began studying Sith philosophy and lore as soon as she was able to read. From birth, Kel Vexx taught Karmin basic form IV Ataru lightsaber combat though through very harsh means. In her own time however, Karmin had been studying form VII Juyo as that was what fascinated her the most. At at 14, Karmin witnessed Kel Vexx kill Maeven Vexx directly after Maven suggested leaving Dromund Kaas and going to a calmer place. Kel Vexx then attempted to flee their Kaas city apartment. From the book, "In a fit of rage and fury, Karmin Vexx unintentionally summoned an extremely powerful force push slamming her father into the side of the apartment, incapacitating him and nearly taking out the wall. Her eyes glowing red and orange, she froze Kel Vexx to the point where he was completely unable to move. Karmin swiped one of her father's lightsabers and lunged it into his chest just before decapitating him completely. Collapsing by the side of her mother's corpse, Karmin began to weep while her eyes slowly returned to their original grey state. After a few minutes, Karmin looked up, her eyes beginning to burn orange and red once again. She took a hold of her father's offhand saber, and sought out the moon Yavin 4."

### A Dark Lord of the Sith

Through nearly 11 years straight of studying Sith lore, Vexx had read about a Sith temple on Yavin 4 that housed the spirit of Sith Lord Exar Kun. Seeking someone to train her in the dark side of the force, Vexx entered the temple and confronted the spirit. Sensing the immense power that Karmin Vexx had yet to unlock, Exar Kun agreed the train her and took on Vexx as an apprentice. Vexx began to progress very rapidly and within months began to learn powers that took masters of the dark side years. Six years later, age 20 years old, Vexx was satisfied with her training, had mastered form IV Ataru and form VII Juyo, and was so powerful in the dark side of the force that she was already competing for the spot of the most powerful force user in the history of the galaxy.

#### A Trip to Korriban

Upon completion of her training, Exar Kun instructed Karmin Vexx to seek out the Sith Academy on Korriban to inject herself into a seat of power in the reformed Sith Empire. Initially, the academy declined Vexx as she was not known. However, after a small run in with a Sith Lord who had identified her immense power and uncanny Sith eyes, she was instantly taken into the academy as an acolyte. She passed the initial trails of the academy with almost comical ease and made those competing for the spot of apprenticeship look like a laughing stock. Within 3 days, Karmin was assigned to the apprenticeship of Darth Wrem. Wrem, witnessing the first hand Karmin Vexx's power, had already began to fear her. Sensing this weakness, Vexx wasted no time killing Darth Wrem claiming his seat of power, officially making her a Dark Lord of the Sith and a member of the dark council. She was granted the moniker "Darth Vexx" following suit with her last name.

### Building Her Lightsabers

Having recently been granted considerable resources, Vexx decided it was time to construct her own lighsabers. Being a dual saber user, Vexx had to construct two of the exact same spec. After much consideration, Vexx came up with a dual-phase lightsaber design using Etaan crystals instead of the typical synthetic crystals Sith use. The special energy absorption property of the Etaan crystals meant that they could seep power from or even destroy another lightsaber when clashing with one. This also gave Vexx's lightsabers a very unique sound with the strange resonating properties of the Etaan crystal. After nearly a month, Vexx had managed to gather the 4 Etaan crystals she needed to construct her sabers. She immediately began twisting the crystals with the dark side and caused them to bleed, turning them a crimson red color. This resulted in some of the most dangerous lightsabers ever wielded, especially against other lightsabers.

### A New Ruler

Karmin Vexx spent the next two years completing tasks for Emperor Vitiate, slowly dismantling the Republic and gaining Vitiate's trust. However, as time went on and Karmin Vexx's feats kept piling up, she began to sense a familiar feeling of fear in her master and thus, weakness. Eventually, Karmin Vexx challenged Emperor Vitiate to a dual to the death. What was a hard fought battle, the waves of which could be felt for miles around, eventually devolved into a more one sided match for the vastly more powerful Karmin Vexx. Vexx eventually killed Vitiate's physical form, and was crowned empress of the Sith Empire and claiming the spot as reigning Dark Lord of the Sith, the leader of the Sith Order. The reign of Vitiate had been long, so it took the people of the Empire a while to adjust. But in time, she became a highly respected figure, not only because of her frightful powers in the force, but because of the way she ran the Empire.

In honor of becoming the new leader of the Sith, Karmin sought out the planet Malachor and constructed an enormous new structure known as The Sith Citadel, further strengthening Sith and Imperial presence in the outer rim. Soon after she built the Empire's new flagship and her personal dreadnought, the Emisia-Class Sith Dreadnought.

## Personality and traits

### Personality

Karmin Vexx was everything a female Sith Lord would be. Seductive, manipulative, callous and sadistic. Yet Karmin was much more nonchalant than others like her, often displaying apathy through sarcasm. She even giggled at things she found naive. A defining trait unique to her was her tendency to refer to others as "darling" both in affectionate ways and demeaning ways, likely stemming from a combination between her mother's tendencies and her authority. However, like most Sith, Vexx had a vast superiority complex, albeit a well founded one. Despite all of this, Vexx did have a soft spot much like her mother, and even kept friends despite most Sith viewing it as a threat of betrayal. However, Vexx saw their presence as a wellspring of power. As such, Vexx was fiercely protective of those she cared about, and would kill those who dared to even as much as threaten her loved ones.

Ultimately, Vexx being so strong made her fear no one, giving her an intense aura of apathy. It was rare that she showed any kind of concern. When not in battle or around those she knew well, she had a very hard to break stoic demeanor. She was a very serious and authoritative person, well known and well respected. She would be addressed as "your majesty" by all in the Sith Empire besides only a few.

### Appearance

From age 22, Karmin Vexx never appeared to age any further. The exact reasons for this are unknown, but it most likely has to do with her outstanding connection to the force. She appeared as a beautiful fair skinned woman with jet black hair. Her eyes are naturally a light steely grey, though turned permanently orange after the death of her mother. Strange about Karmin Vexx's eyes is that they have a direct connection to her force energy. Her eyes glow abnormally bright from the latent dark side energy, and can begin to glow even brighter depending on the amount of power she's outputting.

Strange about her appearance was her apparent lack of dark side corruption, only ever showing a change in her eyes. Reasons for this are again unknown, as her level of immersion in the dark side would normally drastically change the appearance of others. Theories state that either her eternal youth prevented it, or she constantly hid her corruption using the force.

For clothing, she often appeared in her custom armor, which came in multiple pieces -- either a red or black compression shirt, two small shoulder pauldrons, a thin black vest, a simple set of black leggins and boots, 2 long gloves with two wrist guards, and a holstering belt with spots for two lightsabers. Vexx also owned a jet black cloak most often worn casually, but also worn into battle numerous times. Training armor was the same outfit, excluding the pauldrons, gloves, and vest.

### Combat Skills

Karmin Vexx was a master in all 7 forms of lightsaber combat, with an emphasis on forms IV, V, and VII. She preferred two lightsabers when in combat, but was just as adept with a single saber. With her power of vivid farsight, it was nearly impossible to get a strike on her. This allowed her to be incredibly fast and incredibly aggressive. Along with this, Vexx would also incorporate high level acrobatics and martial arts in to her combat making her unpredictable and very hard to dodge. At a distance, Vexx would integrate telekinesis into her combat, a technique called "kinetic combat". This would allow her to control her sabers independently from her grasp, also opening up her hands to utilize force powers like force lightning.

Along with being a highly proficient lightsaber duelist, Karmin Vexx was also a master of martial arts. She was a master in multiple martial arts, including Shadow Step, Echani, and K'Thri. Combining all of these along with her force powers created a new form of unarmed combat with the use of the force taking point, being extremely fast, evasive, aggressive, deceptive, and could be both lethal and non-lethal.

### Force Powers

Karmin Vexx was not only the most powerful Sith Lord to have ever lived, but the most powerful force user period,

second only to The Ones themselves. She was extremely powerful in the dark side, mastering most of what it had to offer as well as the light side.

#### Telekinesis

One of her most notable traits in the force was her telekinesis. And remarkable it was, having seemingly no limit to what she could perform with it. She could with ease catch multiple star fighters in mid air, crush them, and hurl them back at enemies at meteoric speeds. Her force push was devastating, having extremely far range and overwhelming power. During a confrontation with the Republic, Vexx used her force push to accelerate an entire Republic light corvette towards a legion of Republic soldiers at just shy of 660 meters per seconds, or 2,300 kilometers per hour, leaving only 2 survivors.

#### Force Choke

Due to her immensely powerful telekinesis, Vexx's force choke was unmatched by any other Sith Lord. She could exert tremendous force, shattering a victim's trachea and killing them instantly. Despite it being a staple of the force choke, Vexx never needed to use the claw like hand gesture used to visualize the ability when she wasn't attempting to cause extreme strangulation. Because of this, Vexx was able to force choke more than two victims at one time relatively easily. This is commonly how she would incapacitate enemies given the situation where her hands were unavailable.

#### Vivid Farsight

One of the main reasons Vexx was as formidable in combat as she was was her highly vivid farsight, being able to visually see attacks seconds in the future. This, in combination with her combat training and speed meant she was nearly impossible to hit, being able to dodge or parry every single attack that came her way. This ability was so second nature to Vexx it almost happened autonomously, without her even needing to think.

This power was also the reason Vexx was able to reign so long and was considered a strategical genius, as she could faintly make out attacks on the Empire that would happen in the future. Few things that happened to her Empire got past her widely seeing eye.

#### Youth

Vexx possessed a strange power that allowed her to remain in perfect physical health, enabling her to never physically age after reaching her fully grown self. The reasons for this were never fully discovered, not even by Vexx herself. However, it took immense amounts of meditation and a supremely strong connection to the force to achieve.

#### Mind Tricking

Vexx was a master of manipulation, being able to induce thoughts. She was capable of causing intense fear in the mind of another or driving them completely insane, even those with a strong mind. This lent itself well to dark side seduction, as in her time she caused dozens of Jedi to fall to the dark.
