THE EXALTED
S U M M A R Y
The exalted are humanoids - Force users or otherwise- that have been afflicted with the Gift of Raze. This 'Gift' is a curse placed upon an individual where Darth Raze has used Sith alchemy and fleshcrafting to morph them with the characteristics of an abomination. These individuals can then transform into grotesque, mindless beasts hellbent on destruction and devastation.

► Anatomy.
The Exalted present as humanoids as their normal form. However, with the Gift of Raze, they are triggered to transform into their abomination form once every month. This timing varies by the individual, race, biology, etc. Once they transform, they morph into an abomination that can vary in size and appearance. The size can range from 10 to 20 ft tall with a fleshy and monstrous appearance. The Exalted, when they are transformed, have skin that is resistant to most blasters. They do not perceive pain and are empowered by the Dark Side. They are capable of unnatural strength, able to crush and destroy most physical objects and charge through waves upon waves of individuals.
The transformation process is physically painful and agonizing every time. Bones and flesh are broken and reformed as the individual morphs into their abomination form. When Exalted return to their humanoid forms, they are left feeling drained, disgusted and weak.
The Exalted are always hungry in their transformed form and they must feed and devour on life forms. The transformed form can last from a few hours to a full day. After the cycle is complete, the Exalted returns to their humanoid corporeal form with a very hazy memory of their time as an abomination.
The Exalted have a mental, symbiotic connection to Darth Raze, though it is strongest when they are in their transformed form. Should the Anzat give the siren call, all Exalted will spontaneously transform and be compelled to answer his call. This is why Raze considers all Exalted his 'children'.
► Strengths
Exalted, even in their humanoid forms, are able to sense the presence of the Dark Side. This allows them to seek out Dark Siders easier and detect them. Their strengths come primarily in their transformed form where they have immeasurable power, a hide that can withstand most attacks (comparable to rancor hide), and the ability to be even more empowered by dark nexuses or any source of Dark Side presence. They are also enhanced in strength when in the presence of their master Darth Raze even in their humanoid form.
All transformed Exalted are able to use the Dark Side of the Force for certain powers. This includes Force Rage, Force Drain and Force Scream. These abilities are enhanced further if the abomination is near a Dark Side nexus, Darth Raze or are higher level.
► Weaknesses
While they cannot perceive pain in their abomination form, the Jedi power Force Light can drain them rapidly. It's a massive weakness and can easily implode them should the Jedi press the attack. The Exalted, in both humanoid and abomination form, are weakened in the presence of any purified Force nexus. They will be severely weak if they are to approach any Jedi temple - probably one of the main clues that a humanoid is actually Exalted. Level 1 Exalted, in their abomination form, will immediately retreat away from a level 3 or above Jedi simply by being in their presence.
The Exalted in abomination have no autonomy of their own and mindlessly devour and destroy. They answer only to Raze and their humanoid form has no say at that point.
The Exalted humanoid can accidentally trigger a transformation if they experience severe rage or anger.
Exalted are their weakest while they are transforming and directly after they transform back to their humanoid forms. During the latter, they are only strong enough to make an escape and are incapable of fighting.
► Behavior.
Exalted in their default form retain their individual personalities, but they lose all autonomy when they transform. Even as humanoid, they have a connection to Darth Raze. This means that he can summon them at will and they will be compelled to do so.
In humanoid forms, the Exalted are far more on edge in the days leading up to their monthly transformation cycle. They begin hearing the voice of their Master in their heads, they get cold sweats, nausea and a general sense of paranoia and distress. Their veins present as darker, their internal workings beginning to slowly turn black and tar-like.

OOC INFORMATION
If you would like to have your character turn into an Exalted or make a new character for it, please contact me @Sreeya via PMs or Discord. This will require a thread with @Darth Raze where he turns your character.
I N T E N T
To bring a completely new concept to the site that's similar to lycanthrophy and werewolves. Players will have a chance to write as an eldritch horror and navigate their characters keeping a secret and dual identities as they manage this curse.
