Ancient Force Tradition

O V E R V I E W

The Yacombe use a mystic Force tradition predicated on the formation of symbiotic pacts with creatures, known as proxies. As an organization that does not subscribe to the dichotomy of the Force, Yacombe practitioners can dabble in either light or dark facets of the Force, with the specific abilities they manifest through their proxies varying accordingly. This form of Force manipulation demands a sacrifice: the relinquishment of a sense, thereby necessitating the practitioner's reliance on a proxy for its utilization.

The essence of the Yacombe tradition is the covenant formed between the practitioner and their chosen proxy. This pact results in a near-telepathic bond that imbues the creature with an array of abilities influenced by the Force alignment of the practitioner. This link is profound yet requires a voluntary relinquishment of one of the practitioner's senses—be it speech, sight, smell, touch, or hearing—effectively rendering the proxy as a surrogate sensorium.

Yacombe practitioners, while maintaining a delicate equilibrium of concentration, can channel their Force powers through their proxies within a radius of 100 meters. The proxy, bound by the pact, acts autonomously, albeit under the subtle direction of its Yacombe partner. Multiple pacts can be formed by a Yacombe practitioner, each necessitating the sacrifice of an additional sense.

The power to wield the Force through proxies is not without its challenges. The reliance on a proxy for a sacrificed sense can leave the practitioner vulnerable should the creature be incapacitated. Furthermore, casting Force abilities through a proxy demands a profound concentration—any disruption can cause the ability to fail abruptly. As such, this form of Force manipulation is not conducive to chaotic or unpredictable environments. Lastly, the efficacy of the telepathic link diminishes with distance, and any separation beyond the range of 100 meters will sever the Force conduit between the practitioner and their proxy.

ZORYA
Zorya is an enigmatic Sith Champion who relinquished her sense of speech in order to form a pact with her Ximpi proxy, O'bog. Silent but expressive, she's an expert in the Yacombe's traditional rites. Renowned for her enshrouded demeanor and intimidating presence, Zorya skillfully manipulates the Force, blending a sinister aura with an inscrutable silence that belies her power.

The intent of this write-up is to expand a canon Force sect and to augment the spectrum of Force traditions within the SWRP canon, drawing inspiration from the facets of ventriloquism and the concept of partnered entities found in phenomena like Pokémon. The concept is to challenge the traditional representation of Force application and introduce a nuanced dimension where the Force isn't just wielded, but shared in a symbiotic relationship.
