I believe that there is one story in the world, and only one. . . .
Humans are caught—in their lives, in their thoughts,
in their hungers and ambitions, in their avarice and cruelty,
and in their kindness and generosity too—
in a net of good and evil. . . .
There is no other story.
A man, after he has brushed off the dust and chips of his life,
will have left only the hard, clean questions:
Was it good or was it evil? Have I done well—or ill?

Name: Asher Marnoir | Darth Nae’blis
Species: Vahla
Age: 32
Sex: Male
Height/Weight:6’1”/147 lbs
Appearance:
There’s something about this man which makes even the most precautionary people stop, and look. Perhaps it is the same feeling a leper might get from someone who has the same disease as himself, or the lust a killer might get when placed next to a lonely youth. It is something of a dark pleasure, an insinuation which anyone might fall victim to. A dark smile adorns his face, with the shadows of a dark past painted under his eyes, and an electric vigour in the way which he steps. Perhaps there is a level of vanity which this man, if he can be called that, holds himself, but what more is expected from a man of his stature. One might venture to claim attraction to this man, but only if they might for a second detract themselves from the uneasiness they could not escape.
What is an appearance but an ever changing picture of a person, never to stop long enough for anyone to catch up. Still, Asher prides himself with at least the basics of cleanliness, and while he may not always be perfectly groomed, he does bathe daily. Black tattoos that tell of his past are etched upon the brown tint of his skin. Dark eyes, which shine with a sickly yellowborder on the edge of the black of his pupils, threaten to become lost in them all together. So perhaps this man dances lightly on the edges of a man both insane in appearance and in mind, but does that mean he cannot be a decent actor? No, some of the greatest actors in all the history of the world were the ones with the face of a demon to hide.
Perhaps a traditionalist in nature, but either way this man has a job to do, and that’s not appeased to the every whimsical hope or dream of those above him. With this he hides his face from the world, to keep the look of a mad man disguised, to hide the scars of a past that has dealt him an ill-hand. The suit he wears gives him greater strength, less frailty, without hindering his species’ natural ability for flexibility. The true purpose is to hide, though, from the world, and from himself.
Personality:
With all his strength, all the power to which he holds within his grasp he feels an eternal hatred which is pent up within himself. One which defines his life in a radical was. A loathsome burden he carries is the inner contempt he bares for the Force itself, which has caused him much distress upon his path to where he now finds himself. There is one reason to which he finds himself use the Force and it is due to an addiction to which he can not escape. The Darkside is worse than any drug that he might take, for with it he feels as though the world is in the palm of his fingertips. In a second he could destroy the world, however it is the horrible past it has left him with that has made him hate it so. The blade artisan he has made himself into has been a channel for the fear, the anger, and finally the hatred to which he suffers.
Destroyed by what he’s been, corrupted by what he must become he has been shaped into a monster almost beyond all hopes of reform. Only a dim shadow of the man he once was remains to clutch desperately to this new entity that has emerged from the wreckage. The innocence he might have once held has been replaced with a veined glass, ready to shatter at any moment; his conscious slowly falling into pieces. The fear that he might go insane has all but disappeared as he has become to accept the monster that is his own subconscious.
Just as a man can be born without an arm, or a leg, so too can a man be born without conscious, or the ability to love. Asher is one of these people, even as a babe he began to be noticed as eerily manipulative, and deceitful. When Asher lied, it wasn’t like a normal kid who forgot his own fabrications, instead he meticulously knew everyone, and spun his webs quite intricately. People never suspected the knife till it was far too late to dodge it. Perhaps part of it was the absence of the feeling of love; he looked upon others to see the joy that came from this emotion, and hated them for it. In his mind they were the monsters, and he the only one that was normal.
Arrogance is a simple part of this man’s life, for it has kept him alive thus far; doubt himself for even a second and someone would eat him up. Part of him wants to be a killer, to find the dark in those around him, and in this way he is very much a sociopath. In no way is he afraid to destroy those around him for the sake of his own agenda and he shows no compassion or empathy for those who are in his way or of no use to him. It doesn’t stop there though; perhaps if that were the only side to him he would have a hope to turn around.
Curiosity might kill him but it is a primal desire to explore that which is undiscovered that has brought him to the power he wields. A dark confusion has shrouded the naïve tales of hope that might have once drove him, now only ruins of a once innocent being remains to claw onto the mounting precipice which he has found.
