Seth Draalin

> *“You keep saying that the Jedi don’t care about me, but everything I am, everything I have become, is due to the Jedi. You can analyze and pick apart every facet of our lives. But you can’t quantify the love we have for each other, that is why you are wrong.”*

## **Pre-Campaign History**

Born to an unknown parents, Seth Draalin was taken in by Bando Gora because of his Force Sensitivity. Trained since birth to use the dark side, Seth was kept docile and under control by mental manipulation and spice control.

* At the age of 16 Seth was inducted into the Bando Goran assassins unit. He carried out multiple missions and killed many in the Bando Gora’s service. For his final mission he was instructed to kill a Mirialan Child. In a rare moment he refused, but was brought back under control by his master, Ythan Grad.
* Knight Talek Jin’a’zal, investigating the cult, found and challenged the leader Ythan Grad to a trial by combat for the possession of Seth. The Jedi Knight triumphed and brought Seth to the Praxeum for healing.

## **Campaign History**

#### **Stumbling Blocks** -

* Seth nearly got into a fist fight with another Jedi over attempted spice smuggling.
* In his early days Seth treated most others with a condescension and snarky attitude, those habits have tamed and while Seth may not be the most sociable, he has made a lot of progress.
* Yelling at Moosh Maroosh after a mission in a droid factory went south. Seth felt Moosh Maroosh put his own love of discovery over the Jedi under his care, as he nearly got killed. It was the first time Seth realized he might be susceptible to the dark side.
* His first duel with Aureen is burned in his mind, of the necessity of the Jedi Order to fight this threat with everything they have.

#### **Hunting Two Monsters-**

* A vision triggered by force power use left Seth desperate, experiencing memories of his life as an assassin, all connected to his old master. Seth finally took a group of Padawans and Misako on what amounted to an unsanctioned mission. Seth was nearly beaten to death by his old master, and his allies had to save him. When Ythan Grad escaped. Misako revealed she had brought a tracker along and planted it aboard the Falleen’s ship. Leaving the rest of the Padawans to go back to the Praxeum. Seth and Misako followed Grad to an asteroid base.
* There, Seth had to face his worst nightmares, the names and list of all the murders he had committed under the control of the Bando Gora. Seth used a dark side amulet to bolster his abilities enough to defeat Grad. But during the fight Seth had tried to handcuff Grad, But Seth had ended up getting handcuffed to him. Seth then got himself free by chopping off his own hand and subduing Grad. Misako found a nearly dead Seth. After weeks in recovery. Misako took Seth as her Padawan, the shards of the amulet forming his Kyber crystals.
* Nearly suicidal, Seth found comfort and solace in his friends, coming to terms with the fact that he had no control over the people he killed.

**Early Padawanship** -

* Misako was a rather hands off teacher, despite Seth’s attempts to please her, she always kept him at a distance. Frustrated after a particularly dangerous mission to Ilum, Seth berated her for not paying attention to him. It was in this moment that Misako let him into her mind and showed him her suffering, her pain, and for the first time Seth was confronted with his own selfishness and arrogance.
* The addition of Myria into the padawan ship with Seth was a hard one. As he and the Mikkian clashed on nearly every aspect of training together. Things got especially bad after a mission to Corsuscant where Myria used the Force to disarm a fellow Jedi.
* Seth’s relationship with Myria nearly broke after being shown a potential future in which he had to duel and maim Myria, who had fallen to the dark side.
* On more than one occasion Seth’s paranoia made him a difficult team member, as he would go off and “do his own thing”, secretly believing many Jedi saw him as amoral and inferior.

**Dawnbreaker**

* Since the first confrontation with Aureen, Seth’s mind is filled with the thoughts and feelings of the children she kidnapped and tortured to create her first generation of acolytes. Desperate to ensure this never happens again, Seth has advocated and pursued a reckless and aggressive campaign to hunt down and eliminate her Dark Acolytes. Being on the front lines has taken its toll on Seth more than once, nearly leading to his fall to the dark side.
* Seth’s capture by Crimson Dawn should have killed him. While on a mission to defeat the Dark Acolyte Denash, Seth succeeded in killing her, but was captured and dissected by the Dark Acolyte Paneleo. For hours Seth endured physical and mental anguish as she probed his mind for information on the Jedi. Seth revealed almost everything, but kept some key details secret. After she was done, she left his body to be picked up by Crimson Dawn agents, but the Jedi arrived first.

**Major Milestones:**

* Seth got stabbed while trying to talk down the Dark Acolyte Jaexme, a girl who felt she had to kill for Aureen to stop the bad guys. Seth resonated with this, and took the step of trying to save her. Though it didn’t work, it seems to have helped the acolyte doubt her place in Crimson Dawn.
* Survived a duel on Ilum against the feared Final Brother, the last Inquisitor.
* Learned to accept his cybernetic condition and seek counseling after the intervention of Sylk, Mossu, Serenadi, Marab, and Zesk.
* His master took on the Barash Vow, severing ties to the Order. Seth still deals with the anger at being abandoned, and questions his own abilities as a Jedi, even though Misako took most of the blame on herself.

## **Abilities & Skillset**

* **Lightsaber Duelist:** Seth has logged many hours in the training dojo. He is also the survivor of several duels with acolytes and notably Aureen. Seth specializes in the Jar Kai dueling techniques associated with Ataru. Over time, Seth has refined his form, building up greater stamina and utilizing Shien deflection techniques to overcome Ataru’s weakness to ranged opponents. Seth relies on evasion as much as deflection. Like most Ataru specialists, Seth’s combat motto would best  be be described as “Hit hard and hit fast.”
* **Intuition** Seth has a clear eye for detail and piecing together crime scenes. Seth can also create intricate plans designed to trap his enemies. Often described as paranoid, Seth is rarely caught by surprise, and tends to have many tools and options available, just in case.
* **Infiltrator:** Seth’s former life as an assassin was complemented by the stealth training from Misako. Seth has a rudimentary ability to hide himself in the force, and is an expert at getting into places unnoticed. Seth approaches nearly every mission with the mindset of how they might need to lie, or sneak their way in.
* **Psychometric** Seth’s abilities in the Force include a strong psychometric sense. When touching objects Seth can often find the person or place associated with that object by tracing the “echoes” left in the Force
* **Athlete:** Seth’s use of the Force to augment his physical abilities is nearly instinctual. He is able to run, jump, climb, and exert his body physically far more than a humanoid of his age and weight could be expected to.
* **Pilot**: while certainly not an ace pilot, Seth’s natural and Force enhanced reflexes make him a natural pilot and racer.
* This is more free-form than the sidebar. Be more verbose and talk about how the character’s have defined their niche in the order. This should be more about selling the character’s story in that sense, rather than raw listing of facts.

## **Physical Description**

Seth is a grey skinned male Zabrak. His body is covered with the black ceremonial tattoos common to his species. Seth is lean, his muscles are taut and show years of training. Seth’s cybernetic eyes are green, to match his original organic ones. His cybernetic arm is designed to look biological, and does not have any internal upgrades.

Seth tends to wear loose fitting clothes to allow for freedom of movement and the ability to conceal lightsabers and other tools if necessary. His most common outfit is a set of robes that clearly mark him as a Jedi. The colouration is dark, with greys, deep blues, and black. The cowl and duster are reversible, allowing for a more stealthy approach by changing a few things about his outfit.

When on Yavin, Seth is often shirtless.

Seth’s armor is tight fitting and flexible, he does not rely on gadgetry or other adornments on his armor, preferring instead to carry any tech he needs in his utility belt and backpack.

Style of dress is very important, as well.
