Crius Durante, the "Enduring Master". Driven by ambition, his courage has led to many opportunities in his field of work. Hired on many times to many different groups, Crius is a renowned sniper in the criminal underworld. As a member of the Sith Brotherhood, he is well versed in Form II of lightsaber combat, and it is unknown to those outside of his leaders in the Brotherhood as to whether he is Force Sensitive or not simply because of his weapon choice.

Even from his childhood, Crius recognized the simple fact that winners are doers. So, he did whatever he could. His strong connection to the Force from birth opened a world of possibilities for him, and as a child of an Outer Rim orphanage, he had no moral training to contain his desires and actions. Seeming sociopathic to most, Crius was quick to violence, and his basic exploration of the Force would later lead him to the Dark Side. As a young teenager, he saved or "acquired" enough credit to travel to the Republic, and on the way to the Core the small ship he was a passenger on crashed at Alpheridies.

When they crashed, Crius was the only survivor. Being near a major city, the crash site was located rather quickly and Crius was rescued. The Miraluka could sense his strong connection to the Force, so after holding a council among the leaders of the Luka Sene, they decided to train him. Seeing that he was a passionate, compulsive individual at the time, they taught him self-discipline. While they were able to see that if he remained uncontrolled he would fall to the Dark, they still trained him in the Force, hoping to change him and make him a better person.

While they were successful in changing Crius, they never taught him things like morals. Perhaps if they had, he would've been drawn to the Light. Unfortunately, they forgot this crucial detail in his training, so he still seemed cold and heartless. However, he now was less open about it, changing from a passionate, explosively acting individual to a calm, collected, and generally reserved one. The Miraluka, due to Crius' newfound self-discipline, thought this was enough to keep him from the dark, but when he left them, they would be let down.

Crius found his way to a mercenary group, and because he was unsure of what his expertise would be, he filled the role of a sniper. Picking it up quickly, and greatly assisted by his training in the Force Sense branch of powers, he was discovered to be a natural. Seeing as he was still young, he had plenty of time between contracts to practice. So he did. When he reached his 20th birthday, he left the group, and after only a year he became a successful assassin. His sociopathic nature naturally made him a fantastic fit for the job, and once he was hired by the Sith Brotherhood, he found his home. Making a contract with them, he also elaborated on his previous training by the Luka Sene and those he signed with quickly realized he was more skilled in the sensory use of the Force than the average Sith or Jedi Knight. Seeing this himself, Crius pushed as hard as he could, using his intellect and his skills to become a Sith. His determination to learn from his mistakes, his strong sense of responsibility, and his "I can" attitude combined with his sociopathic ability to shrug off feelings that would commonly lead someone to the Light made him a perfect fit for the Brotherhood's ranks.

Crius, trained for years during his teens in the Force Sense powers, has access to heightened senses, Force Sight on par with a Miraluka, telepathy, and other powers. These include, but are not limited to, Shatterpoint, Comprehend Speech, Precognition, Force Drain, Force Trace, and Force Concealment. These Force skills greatly enhance his rifle skills, allowing him to track, eliminate, and escape whenever needed. The years of training as a marksman and sniper provided him with great skill, and also a preference for his sniper rifle over his rapier, with which he was very skilled in Form II, thanks to his contract with the Sith Brotherhood. Being a Lorrdian granted him access to their technique known as kinetic communication, and he uses this constantly in his contact with other people, between giving out subtle hints with his own posture and stance, to reading the body language and posture of others to determine their intentions and personality. Over the years, he developed a high metaphorical wall, keeping his emotions inside and locked away; his sociopathic reactions acting like a gate, only seeming to be unlocked by his hidden soft spot for brunettes.

Hey, man! Just looked over your character, and I really dig the idea of the character, but I do have a few concerns on your listed Force abilities.

Shatterpoint, as far as I know doesn't exist in this TL, as I think that's a bit ahead of our timeline. I could be wrong though, I'll let @GABAroo take a gander at that. I personally like the idea of a sniper sitting back with a heavy rifle, picking of weakpoints in vehicle's armor. Lot's of potential badassery right there, but just to be safe, let's get some more opinions on it.

Precognition is probably gonna be a no-go, at least in PvP. Story threads, you can't hurt anyone. That's all I've got to say about that.

I'm not sure what exactly Force Trace is, and couldn't find anything on Wikipedia on it. Did you mean Force Track?

All of that being said, those are the only real flaw that I felt needed to be addressed.

This wouldn't be permitted in a PvP setting.

Thank you so much for the feedback! As far as concerns go, I'll address the reasoning behind why I have those Force powers, but if it's not good enough I'll totally edit whatever you suggest needs to change :)

Shatterpoint - I threw this in as a supplement to his natural communication skills, because from my understanding the power just helps you identify emotional/mental weaknesses. He'd use it to try and convince someone of whatever he needs to, using knowledge of their soft spots as leverage.

Precognition - I don't plan on using this in combat (0P plz nerf), again, simply to boost his natural communication skills as well as to add some flavor to his inner thoughts (I'm gonna try and add a lot of self-reflection in his posts, because practicing writing skills.) Also, I think Precognition is a pretty basic skill that most characters with Force Sight would have, and whether they use it in combat is up to them; I personally won't, because it's simply for story and him being able to see slightly ahead if he focuses hard enough will give him a better reason to be places. "He felt something important were to happen" instead of "He was there for dah monayz" or something like that.

Force Trace - The Wookieepedia quote, found in paragraphs two and three of the Force Track page:
"this ability was named Force Trace. It has almost pin point accuracy of where the target was located as long as one followed the Force itself. Artifacts and other powers had little effect in stopping this method as it was incredibly powerful. Most noticeable were creatures and species that could already use the ability known as Force Sight. This stepping stone...was crucial in learning the Force Trace."​
Basically, better version of Force Track. I figured this would be good to have, since he is basically the go-to hunter of the Sith (aka he uses it to find his targets and stuff)

Again, thanks so much for reading through the profile! I want to make this work, so any changes necessary for me to make will be made.

Thanks for clearing some of that up. As far a Shatterpoint goes, though my understanding of it is that the user is able to visibly see weaknesses in a structure. If that's another application of the power, that's not as much of n issue. Do take note though, that using these abilities in PvP (Force Drain, Force Track, etc.) need to be treated as really high level Force abilities, and would take more time than simply sensing someone, or a Force Push (not that your character uses those, but for the sake of comparison). Force Draining a target from range is not gonna happen in the span of two turns.

Long story short, be mindful of how much you try to use these abilities and you're good to go, as far as I'm concerned.

Sounds good! Am I cleared to use him, then?
