Faust's build was rather muscular in his first life. His hair was usually kept fairly short, his skin complexion moderately tanned. His most striking and infamous feature are his eyes, described by one survivor as a cold, dead, pale blue that burned with hate and contempt. Beyond that his facial features are rugged and moderately handsome. He often had regular surgery using partially-grown clones for skin grafts to avoid lasting scar tissue. Had been known to radically alter his appearance when going undercover on a hunt, a habit that has actually grown stronger following the showdown at the Memorial.

 

After his death on Coruscant, he'd reportedly been reborn, a shadow of a being living in a bacta tube based on imagery Faust himself shared. The image Faust shared was of a half-rotted and decaying corpse hooked up to a mass of wires, alive only through spite and hate. Through this he uses robot doubles as his bodies: Faustbots, Faust Simulacrums, or Doombots: all could really apply. Using a form that reportedly reflected his actual physical state, he favors a simulacrum that looks frail and ragged, but still is a fully capable battle droid with all of Faust's skills and memories, though there's a near constant feed that enables him to see through the droid, either using his actual face via holoprojection or a droid replica set to mirror facial expressions. Because of the effort to manipulate it like a body, he can't spread his consciousness out and can only occupy one at a time. Unless prepared, the psychic shock of losing one would be likely be traumatic, but not fatal, and he would be incapacitated while having a new replica he can interface with built.

 

Equipment [!equip]

 

Clothing or Armor: Currently dresses in a casual setting with wear a white button down, sneakers, and khakis, and a white coat overall. He's taken to concealing his face with a mask or white hooded cloak. This still does not mean he goes unarmored either as he relies on the droid body to protect itself. Purportedly has a white Vader suit, with, helmet, cape and all that he uses. Whether it's for his real body or a droid (very, very likely the latter) is a matter of speculation.

 

Weapons: Has twin lightsabers (pale blue), that have varying length and phase ability. There is a sonic blast emitter built into the hilt to project a cone of damaging sonics out from the hilt. Carries two custom distruptor pistols at his side and some explosives called VICE.

 

The interior of his trenchcoat was once on par with a small armory. Alas, outside of housing his lightsabers, explosives, disruptors, and some scouting remotes linked to him cybermentally, he's foregone most of his weapon stash. Smaller scale special repulsor packs have been fitted into the coat lining to allow the trenchcoat to flap dramatically in the wind and trail behind Faust in a cape like fashion when a regal entrance of exit is needed since Faust still believes in style. A hidden tear-away seem in the lower part of the trenchcoat allows for a quick escape with if the tail end becomes caught.

 

Secured in boots Faust also carries vibroblades with a molecule thick edge, designed for combat or throwing. Also secured are several vials of poisons, toxins ranging from truth serums to love potions to lethal venoms to Sith poison for screwing with Jedi.

 

Common Inventory: Besides his assortment of weapons, he tries to carry assorted passkeys and locks for various doors of encryption, and usually augments his hacking array. Lockpicks are also held in a few discrete areas. To keep up the façade of a wounded, barely alive creature, he used a medical hover chair that he was wired into. It was all smoke and mirrors, being a mini-vehicle, carrying enhanced sonic weapons and a self-destruct device as well as advanced hacking and communication relays.

 

Other details: Due to early work with Dark Star Inc., an outfit set up by Lord Ny'zell Reign (former Black Sun chief & scientist turned entreapaneur), Faust has bio-enhancements for five times normal human strength, multi-spectrum eye lenses for UV, infared, nightvision, etc., and magnification. His hearing has a special hyper-amplification feature. His droid bodies are stronger and his senses almost as accute, but they don't measure up to his original body.

 

Had a prosthetic left arm to replace one reportedly lost in childhood that he arms his simulacrums with. Occasionally had a dwarf ysalamiri stuffed into a special hypo-chamber in the upper arm with nutrient grid to give him a field of personal protection against groups of Force users- that pet vanished before the Ritual on Coruscant and is kept near his "true" body for protection. His hand has a launcher similar to a magpoon and can project itself out to latch on- or with tractable durasteel nails. The hand can also spin like a drill, and cut. His left finger has a cyberport, allowing for cybermental hacking and plugging into a computer.

 

He had a strong cybermental link with his ship the Bhelliom before it was destroyed at the Final Ritual on Coruscant. Through operating out of droid bodies, he retains that cybernetic affinity, only more so, replacing the Bhelliom's array of KilLLeR seeker remotes with smaller ones he conceals on his person, usually about 3 at a time. He retains a cybernetic voicebox capable of mimicking the voices of others he hears. He is particularly fond of using it to impersonate others or taunt victims with dead friend's or relative's voices when using.

 

Faust, working as a bounty hunter for a long time, built up a considerable fortune. He is believed to have contacts in most organizations, and hidden weapons caches and safe houses scattered around the galaxy, including on Republic worlds.

History: [!hstry]

 

Force Side: Dark

Trained by: Dagon

Trained who: Joshua Stykes, Lord Furion, Darth Riftor (Aerec), Kari Koi (Jedi)

Known Skills: Mastery of dozens of forms of combat ranging from swords & lightsabers, guns, and unarmed. Skilled in the Sith arts, particularly Force presense, stealth & hiding his Force signature, alchemy, combat tricks, and mind raping. Can sense snipers as well. A noted actor, spy and sorcerer, he has successfully imitated key personnel, possessed the bodies of cloned and/or slain enemies to infiltrate various buildings and councils. Has an excellent grasp of computer hacking due to his cybermental interface abilities. He is also an unparalled master of the Sith art of Dun Mach from his ability to inspire doubt, terror, and anguish from the use of his voice and psychology. Had obtained at one time the ability to mimic the life and Force draining ability of Darth Nihilus, but that power died with him on Coruscant.

 

Per information relayed by Faust himself, he's lost the ability to work the Force on any measurable scale, claiming the Dark Side would consume his barely sustained shell of a body. So far, the only evidence of Force powers is slight of hand and trickery, but even if that's true, the knowledge he'd built up on the mechanics of alchemy, sorcery, and the like remain with him, enabling him to guide and influence others.

 

Background: CLASSIFIED

 

During the brief period Faust assumed the dual mantles of Galactic Emperor and Dark Lord of the Sith (before stepping down of his own accord), he used his influence to plunder records on his past. Little, if any official material remains about Faust's past. Few witnesses remain to verify anything, and the handful that were not actively hunted down refuse to talk. Was married to Reagan McGreggor and sired two children, Jarrett and Camilla, both deceased: Jarrett through Faust turning him into a living weapon, and per word from Reagan, Camilla was killed during the last Arach'tar invasion.

 

Faust is the galaxy's most wanted man and has a higher body count than any other single figure in galactic history including the likes of Emperor Palpatine, Darth Revan, and Darth Vader. His infamy in part from the assassination of several high ranking Jedi Masters, Sith Masters, and government officials. He is suspected on about eight counts of orchestrating and single-handedly performing or instigating acts of genocide, countless murders, thefts, and other acts. A known sadist, he has captured and tortured several prominent individuals, preferring to scar them physically and mentally, then set them free as broken individuals.

 

His crowning achievement was hacking into Coruscant's planetary shield grid, and lowering its radius so it sliced through the midlevel towers, causing them to fall and collapse. On a planet of a trillion people, 80% of its population died in the attack, done single-handedly by Faust. Startlingly this atrocity was a prelude to an even greater gambit, aimed at creating a wound in the Force and then absorbing it into himself. Faust sacrificed what little remained of his humanity in an attempt to sunder the Force and consume it to ascend to what could be called godhood, an act that would have had universally omnicidal implications. Stopped during the final Ritual when Jedi Masters Onderin Starlisk and Darex Travelian summoned balance to the Force and turned the powers Faust summoned back on him, Utterly consumed in body and spirit by the Dark Side as the Force rebalanced itself, Faust was killed off for all time.

 

Or so it was presumed...
