ARC-2574 “Wrench” (RP)

## Elvin Dedie Tallarn/

ARC-2575 “Wrench”

**Elvin Dedie Tallarn, or ARC-2574** aka "Wrench”, appeared to be a standard Male Human. He used to appear as an Arc Beta Class trooper, and an engineer in the 415th Exploratory Corps. In reality Wrench was a 6870 year old shape shifting Sith-Spawn created by Sorzus Syn for unknown reasons. At an unknown date prior to 6870 BBY Wrench was stolen and repurposed by Remulus Dreypa

Wrench's new purpose was to seamlessly infiltrate groups that attempted to uncover the Oubliette, whether they knew what they were looking for or not. To facilitate the infiltration, Wrench's appearance altered itself. It matched whatever species and Gender the group was primarily composed of. (I.E if there are more Male Humans, then Wrench would appear as a Male Human, more Female Rodians then Wrench would appear as a Female Rodian, etc. etc.) Wrench has low level regeneration, although he is unaware that he posses at this present time (will be updated if he finds out). It explains why he was able to survive injuries most would consider fatal, such as a through and through blaster shot in the side. It didn't mend itself, the low-level regen just kept Wrench together long enough for him to receive medical treatment.

Wrench had an additional personality encoded into him named "Knight" a more Combat focused, CQC skilled personality that was to come into play if these groups ever uncovered the Oubliette. He would to prevent them from opening it. Knight became a permanently activated within Wrench after (Whatever Ayre's full name is) pushed Wrench into the empty Oubliette in an attempt to remove the other being residing in Wrench's mind.

The aforementioned being is referred to as "Cackles." It's existence is a consequence of Dreypa Soul-Binding Wrench to the Oubliette. Cackles can best be described as a Caricature of Dreypa, notably suggesting to wrench that he commit violent acts, or otherwise harm people. Neither Wrench nor Knight act on these suggestions (unless under very specific circumstances). Both typically respond with exasperation towards Cackles whenever such suggestions are put forth. Also of note is Cackles fondness for individuals who have committed incredible acts of violence. Cackles claims he can interpret one's aura and have a vague understanding of an individuals emotions. However this is ability is rarely useful, considering Cackles is usually unhelpful a majority of the time.

## Biography

### Early Life:

> *"He has been dead for roughly... six thousand eight hundred and seventy years, and made an Oubliette to contain another one of his comrades, one known as Karness Muur. Am I ringing any bells?" -* Jedi General Arye Prays informing Wrench of his origins after Wrench took a DNA test, and results came back negative for every known species.

Wrench was a 6870 year old shape shifting Sith-Spawn created by Sorzus Syn for unknown reasons. He was used as a defensive measure put in place to protect the Oubliette containing Celeste Morne and the Muur Talisman on Aridus. He spent the next 6870 Years on the desert planet. With a new group's arrival, Wrench's memories were suppressed, and his appearance altered by the Spell. Wrench used a variety of tactics to prevent the discovery of The Oubliette. Including sabotage, asymmetrical warfare, and scare tactics. The Proximity to the Oubliette kept Wrench from hearing the being he was soul bound to (See: "Cackles" Above). Knight's existence also went unnoticed due to a lack of necessity. Knight lay dormant, waiting until a living, organic being drew too close to the Oubliette. Wrench's success at keeping beings away from the Oubliette for roughly 6870 years meant that this never came to pass until much later.

Due to the sheer duration of time he spent on Aridus, most records involving an iteration of Wrench are either lost to time, or more fiction than fact. If he is aware that you know of his true origins, he is more than willing to tell stories about his time spent on Aridus. Occasionally he will hum a song, whose lyrics were lost to time.

### The Clone Wars:

#### Aridus:

*"Y'know like...3...maybe 4 thousand years ago? There were these cultists who split off from the main group. You'd think they'd be more extreme right? Well. Yes, but in the sense that they were less violent than the main group. This made them "Radical" in that sense. So I suppose by extremists that would be what the main group of cultists would call them. Pleasant enough folks but damn persistent. I wish I could've persuaded them to leave instead of...well. Handling them."*

-Wrench, reminiscing to himself about one of the groups he encountered 4 thousand years prior.

On a Joint mission between the CIS explorers and the 415th Exploratory Corps, Wrench appeared with no explanation. The spell that conjured him once more applied the suggestion to all present that Wrench was a new transfer who linked up with the 415th prior to landing on Aridus. Wrench himself also believed this, due to a combination of his memories being suppressed, and being affected by the spell as well. As with prior iterations, Wrench felt a strong urge to do everything within his power to prevent the Oubliette from being found. In an attempt to do so, Wrench had sabotaged the drilling equipment in an attempt to slow progress. He had hoped the 'inexplicable' equipment failure, and lack of progress would mentally wear the groups down. That, combined with them constantly turning up empty handed despite their best efforts, would drive them to cutting their losses. Unfortunately for him, the 415th proved itself to be far more resilient and persistent than any group he had dealt with prior.

###### Oubliette Found

Wrench was incapacitated when the explorers located, and excavated the Oubliette, bringing it back to their base of operations, and thusly neither him nor Knight were aware/able to do anything to stop it. Once wrench reawaken, he switched to containment. He stayed up for weeks on end, tirelessly maintaining vehicles and equipment personally. He also heavily fortified and trapped the area surrounding the Oubliette. Ultimately this proved futile as Highsinger evaded the traps and shot the Oubliette. Aggravating it, and exacerbating the situation. A disembodied voice was picked up by a microphone he set up. This triggered some encoded instincts deep within Wrench's psyche. He pushed himself even further and farther. Remaining awake for weeks on end, still constantly checking and rechecking vehicles, and weapons, fearing it was only a matter of time before whatever lay within the Oubliette awoke once more. When Highsinger shot the oubliette with a radiation cannon. Expanding the effective radius of the Oubliette's influence to 100 meters. This, combined with a recording of a disembodied voice, resulted in Wrench having "Three concurrent panic attacks." As he would describe it later.

##### Temple fights, Oubliette opens

When the Oubliette was moved to the temple, Wrench was again, unaware and unconscious. Having been forcibly sedated by the Medics after General CC-1178 "Sights" took note of Wrench's "unhealthy" and "detrimental" work habits. Once awake, he quickly put together what transpired, he hastily jury-rigged repairs on a speeder and set off towards the temple. He quickly linked up with the 415th forces within the temple. As they fought their way through the temple, and to the Oubliette, Wrench noticed high levels of conflict between the other trooper and Kára Volshe, who at the time was the Chief Medical Officer of the 415th. He attempted to lower tensions and deescalate, but these efforts ended up fruitless. Celeste Morne awoke from the coffin, was possessed by Karness Muur, and the Muur Talisman was activated. A large portion of the clone forces were infected by the Rakghoul Plague. Wrench was injured by Celeste Morne, after area under his Left knee was cut by a Lightsaber. Highsinger carried Wrench out of the Temple, as the remaining forces scrambled to escape from the Temple.

##### Clearing the Infected, destroying the crystal

A large number of infected individuals remained despite the temple being sealed. To prevent the spread a Large armored force was Prepared to act as a distraction for a smaller strike force to enter the temple and destroy a crystal. The reasons why were not disclosed to Wrench. As an Engineer (with several thousand years of experience, however this was unknown to both himself and everyone else at the time) assisted in this endeavor. He demonstrated his immense skill for Engineering and Mechanics when he jury-rigged a replacement leg for an AT-TE. When the operation began, Wrench help coordinate firing patterns and vehicle placement when engaging the hordes of Rakghoul zombies along side CIS forces. After successfully thinning the horded he linked up with the strike team and the pressed on towards their objective, that being the crystal. After a confrontation with (insert name when I finally figure out who we were fighting.) The Crystals were destroyed. The Rakghoul plague was eradicated on Aridus for the time being.

##### Aridus Aftermath

Wrench began experiencing what he believed were Nightmares or Dreams. All of them occurred on Aridus. Almost always had different people, and used what appeared to be outdated equipment. The Oubliette was featured heavily as well, seemingly whispering to him. Unable to sleep, Wrench began looking into some of the oddities in his dreams. Shortly after, he realized he had no memory of being trained, what his batch number was, or how he even got onto Aridus. After fruitless attempts to find his paper works on his own. He eventually brought it up with Sights, who was also unable to find Wrench's Paperwork. Wrench, fearful he'd be abducted and experimented on, decided to keep it as quiet as possible.

#### Kashyyyk

##### Arrival

The 415th Arrived to Kashyyyk with little incident, Wrench was with them. Growing concerns about his real identity, or if he's losing his mind, and other such questions slowly crept into his mind. He met a few Clone Assassins (CA) Who go by Bishop, '68, '69, and several others. He quickly established a friendship with Bishop, and '68. His relationship with the latter eventually growing into a romantic one. Wrench could usually be found near one of them in the Engineering bay during this period of time. He was promoted to Corporal by Alpha-07 "Epsilon" As a result of he performance in a firefight. Additionally, he sustained a severe wound to the side, from a Droideka blaster bolt, necessitating cybernetics.

##### Base collapse

Wrench was working in the engineering bay With Bishop when a series of earthquakes and cracks erupted from the ground. Wrench and several others fled the building, escaping the doomed structure as it collapsed into a chasm below. Sights. In the aftermath, Wrench repaired vehicles and comms arrays to aid in reorganization efforts. Delirious from exhaustion, he followed a CA by the name of '69 into the ruins under the guise of recovering blueprints and medicine. Wrench quickly realized that '69 was grave robbing and stormed off. Shortly after a new base was established, where Wrench resumed his usual activities. Sometime later, Sights brought an ancient wooden box recovered from the chasm below the ruins of the old base to Wrench, who was able to open the container and reveal a Scabbard and a piece of wood covered in Shyriiwook carvings.

##### Discovering the Truth

The questions continued to grow in his mind. The dreams became more vivid, and he heard whispers. These whisperings only became louder as time went on. He needed answers. Wrench noted that these dreams always were set on Aridus. Always from his perspective. Always in a different body, a different face. Seeking answers, he asked Emiliana "Emie" Volshe, the Lieutenant Colonel of the 415th, to request that a genetic test be performed on a medical frigate in orbit. The results came back several days later. Wrench's DNA had no matches to any species on record. Shortly after reporting these results to Sights and Emie, Wrench received a Call from Arye Prays. Ayre revealed the true Nature of Wrench's origins, this is when "Cackles" a manifestation of the Soul Bond between Wrench and Muur's Oubliette, started speaking clearly in Wrench's Mind. Cackles swiftly began insulting the Jedi. From this point on, Wrench could hold conversations with the voice, often requesting that wrench murder or otherwise harm individuals.

A few weeks passed before Ayre came to take over tactical control of all operations on Kashyyyk. Here, Ayre decided to visit Wrench, intending to remove Cackles from Wrench's mind by having the Sithspawn lay in the Oubliette he once guarded. There were unintended consequences to this, however. A new voice made itself known, forcibly taking over Wrench's body. This voice misunderstood the situation and attempted to "Stop the interloper from releasing Muur."

Ayre effortlessly disarmed him and forced him into the Oubliette. It at first appeared successful: Cackles was silent. Wrench was left shaken. To him, it felt as though a part of him was missing. For better or worse, This did not last. Wrench now carried two other beings within his mind, the newcomer "Knight" along with "Cackles." Over time Knight's purpose was revealed. Knight was the combat-focused alternate personality, meant to deal with intruders if they got too close to the Oubliette. Although every time intruders did, some forces outside of Wrench's and Knight's control, prevented them from becoming aware of this.

##### Artifacts hunting/ and Departure.

Wrench and a contingent of the 415th set out to a Wookie village, following up on leads obtained with the discovery of the Scabbard and the piece of wood. Here, both Sights and Wrench received an invitation to attend Kara Volshe's wedding on Naboo. While Sights declined, Wrench accepted, seeing it as an opportunity to leave the GAR. Wrench had become disillusioned. He began to understand that people who weren't dark siders were still capable of despicable acts.

The breaking point was after he witnessed Alpha-17 torture a prisoner to the point of having Brain Damage. '68 had sneaked aboard Wrench's ship. Unbeknownst to Wrench, She became his +1 to the event. The duo departed for Naboo on a shuttle. Before leaving, Wrench informed General Sights of his intentions and marked him MIA.

#### Naboo

##### Arrival

Wrench and '68 arrived a few weeks early, mainly so that Wrench could take up a few jobs and earn credits to pay for the clothes they'd wear to the wedding. He made heavy modifications to his armor, adding in a voice changer and wearing a cloak he made out of scraps and patches of fabric. He'd accrued some favors and was able to acquire the formal wear. After Volshe arrived, she and Wrench caught up in a café, where she briefly explained her and Darth Nihl's past together, and Wrench revealed that he was a Sith Spawn. Wrench inquired about having Sith Magic change his appearance. Volshe informed him of Sith Alchemy and that her close friend Broodica would be more than up to the task. Additionally, Wrench made her aware of his decision to leave the GAR, which she supported.

Wrench and '68 attended the ceremony the next day. In the ensuing celebration, he met Broodica. She quickly performed half of a "Mask" spell. The mechanisms which facilitated Wrench's shapeshifting abilities interpreted the spell as the trigger and began to alter his appearance.
