Sheev Palpatine

EMP. **Sheev Palpatine** (シーヴ・パルパティーン, *Shīvu Parupatīn*), also known as **Darth Sidious** (ダース・シディアス, *Dāsu Shidiasu*), is both a fictional character and antagonist of the *Mass Wars* series created by Casey Hudson and George Lucas.

He was one of the oldest Dark Lords—the leader of the Sith—and the Emperor of its empire. The galaxy rejoiced when he was confronted and defeated by the Je'daii Order, but Sidious had cheated death and patiently plotted a return to power and to exert revenge on the Jedi.

As the puppet master, his plots and machinations are the driving force behind the events of the entire series. He engineered behind individuals like Count Dooku of the First Order, Saren of the Separatists, and the Illusive Man of the Cerberus.

He also had several apprentices thereafter, including Darth Maul, Snoke, and Kylo Ren. He later unveils a plan to reclaim the galaxy, but is finally killed by Rey, the last Jedi and the Chosen One, ending the rule of the Sith.

"*YOU ARE NOTHING!! A SCAVENGER GIRL IS NO MATCH FOR THE POWER IN ME!! I AM* **ALL THE SITH***!!!!*"

—Darth Sidious, to Rey Skywalker.

## Abilities and Powers

### Powers

* **The Force**: Darth Sidious has always been a natural prodigy of the Force, capable of using every known Sith ability to its highest extent ever known by a Sith Lord.
	+ **Telekinesis**: Sheev was very proficient in Telekinesis, utilizing it either as an offensive attack or simply as a means of displaying his power, the latter being most prevalent when he used the ability to remove Luke Skywalker's binders aboard the second Death Star while barely lifting a finger.
		- **Force Push**: Palpatine utilized Force Push to send his opponents flying through the air, causing them serious injury or temporarily incapacitating them/knocked them unconscious.
		- **Force Pull**: Sheev utilized Force Pull to pull his opponents or objects towards him.
		- **Force Choke**: Sheev utilized Force Choke to either weaken, kill or intimidate his opponents. He was also able to choke targets that were in another room, or even on another planet, by knowing their location relative to himself.
		- **Force Grip**: Sheev utilized Force Grip to lift his opponents off the ground and into the air, sometimes by the neck, to immobilize them.
		- **Force Throw**: Sheev utilized Force Throw to cause objects, and even individuals, to be hurled toward a target at an astounding velocity.
	+ **Tutaminis**: Sheev utilized Tutaminis to dissipate concentrated energy; such as blasterbolts or Force lightning.
	+ **Force Deflection**: Sheev utilized Force Deflection to redirect incoming attacks, from blasterbolts to Force lightning, with or without his lightsaber. He was able to block several shots fired at him by the Rebel spy Eneb Ray with his bare hand when the latter was attempting to assassinate him.
	+ **Mind Trick**: Sheev utilized Mind Trick to control the minds of other sentient beings, however, it did not work on individuals who have very strong wills.
	+ **Force Vision**: Sheev utilized Force Vision, to have visions of the past, the present, and the future; however, like all Force-users, his visions were not always clear or sometimes has visions even when he was not utilizing this power at will.

However, for unknown reasons, he was unable to sense the presence of Luke Skywalker, who was on Endor, unlike Darth Vader, who was able to easily sense the presence of his son.
	+ **Force Lightning**: Sheev was a master of Force Lightning, which he used to punish, torture or kill his opponents, making it his most favorite move. Due to his level of power and skill, his lightning possessed greater intensity and power than most who possess the ability, allowing him to potentially cause more greater damage to his target.

	+ **Force Dash**: Sheev utilized Force Dash to move at amazing speeds.

### Physical Abilities

* **Lightsaber Skills**: Despite his frail appearance and old age, Sheev was incredibly skilled in lightsaber combat and an extremely gifted duelist. He was one of the greatest lightsaber duelists in the history of the galaxy. In fact, the only person known to have defeated Sheev in lightsaber combat was Mace Windu, however, in truth, he could have defeated or killed the arrogant Jedi Master at any time he wanted. Sheev was one of the few known individuals who could fight Yoda as an equal. His lightsaber skills were such that he had mastered all the forms of lightsaber combat and could shift from one combat form to another fluidly and without effort. Sheev's technique and fighting style was a combination of brutal aggression and lethal precision; making him an almost unstoppable opponent. Ironically, despite Sheev's masterful dueling skills, he was fairly disdainful of lightsaber combat in general, believing the Sith to have grown beyond the need for lightsabers. He also rarely used his lightsabers unless absolutely necessary as they would identify him instantly as a Sith. However, he still proceeded to carry the weapons, as a way of mocking the Jedi. Despite being an exceptionally skilled lightsaber duelist in his own right, Sheev was ultimately unable to defeat Yoda; as their duel ended in a draw.
	+ **Form I**: Sheev was highly skilled in Shii Cho.
	+ **Form II**: Sheev highly skilled in in Makashi.
	+ **Form III**: Sheev was highly skilled in Soresu.
	+ **Form IV**: Sheev was highly skilled in Ataru.
	+ **Form V**: Sheev was highly skilled in Shien/Djem So.
	+ **Form VI**: Sheev was highly skilled in Niman.
	+ **Form VII**: Sheev was extremely skilled in Juyo/Vaapad.
	+ **Jar'Kai**: Sheev was a master of Jar'Kai.
* **Genius-Level Intellect/Master Tactician/Leader/Manipulator**: Sheev was amazingly intelligent and wise; his intelligence and wisdom was rivaled only by Yoda, Darth Vader, and Luke Skywalker respectively. As the leader of the Sith Order, he was a highly skilled tactician and a very capable leader. He was very manipulative, as he was able to easily manipulate other individuals directly or indirectly to achieve his goals.

### Weapons

* **Twin Lightsabers**: Sidious has two small handles that release plasma condensed into a magnetic field. Acting as omni-sided blades, these laser swords can cut through almost anything like wet paper. Sidious made his lightsaber handles from phrik and an electrum finish, leaving them impervious to damage from other lightsabers.
