Description
Thanks to Ahsoka I've been in a bit of a Star Wars mood lately. Most of this I posted earlier, these are mostly just some design updates, added Lightsabers, and character descriptions of the new characters for my Star Wars series. Although I want it on the record that none of this is technically "canon" until I put it all together next May.
Darth Cide - A play on the word "Genocide", not "Dark Side". I will introduce this character as the Grand Inquisitor. However after challenging for a place among the Sith Lords he will become Darth Cide. Darth Cide will be responsible for leading many attacks on Jedi temples including one that leaves Jedi Master Edgar and his padawan the sole survivors.
Darth Naroc - Not technically a new character, I just wanted to show off his lightsaber, it's a crossguard blade with a small blade in the pommel.
Echs - Raised by the ruthless Abble the Hutt and trained to be his greatest enforcer. Due to a series of events Echs decides to strike out on his own. Stealing his "father's" modified J-Type 327, the Vulptex, Echs has since made quite the name for himself as a bounty hunter. I may have to alter his armor a bit now that I've altered his origins. But for now I am rather happy with the look.
Abble the Hutt (not pictured & nowhere near ready) - Abble the Hutt is a notoriously ruthless crime lord. For reasons known only to Abble he took in a young orphan boy named Echs and had him groomed to be his most dangerous enforcer. I imagine his relationship to the now adult Echs is similar to Star-Lord and Yondu from the first Guardians of the Galaxy; antagonistic, but deep down he's proud of his boy.
Emyanna - A young Jedi Padawan who has never even set foot outside the temple she grew up in. That is, until an army of Sith laid waste to the temple leaving her one of two survivors. Seeing the events as fate, Jedi Master Edgar decides to take her on as his apprentice.
Fourth Brother - An inquisitor of the Sith Empire. The Fourth Brother is out to rise through the ranks by hunting and killing as many Jedi as he can in order to become a Sith Lord.
Ian Rand - A Jedi Knight who has seen far too much and has lost faith in the Jedi order. Rand has become merciless in his crusade to avenge his fellow Jedi. I don't know how I'm planning to introduce him yet, but I want him to take on a role similar to Maul in Rebels, trying to manipulate and corrupt Emyanna so that she gives in to her darkness like he has.
Master Edgar - A Jedi renouned for his saber skills even among the Jedi Order. Master Edgar was one of the sole survivors of a Sith attack on his temple. He believes the Force willed he and his fellow survivor to live, and has such chosen to take the young padawan Emyanna as his apprentice.
R2-T7 - Master Edgar's trusty atromech droid, affectionately called Rusty by Emyanna. I don't have much else to say here, but obviously I need to do some polishing in the next few months.
Thresh - A pilot that washed out of Republic Flight School. When approached by the son of Abble the Hutt and offered a job flying the Vulptex Thresh gladly accepted. It took an embarrassing amount of time for Thresh to realize Echs was no longer with his father. But by then the two had become like brothers and it no longer mattered.
So what do you think? I want the story to be an actual Bounty Hunter story (something I feel Star Wars has never actually committed to). But I needed my core heroes to be able to believably take on the Galaxy's most wanted, AKA the Sith Lords. They will meet up with characters from my previous story in order to give them a sense of closure as they did after all start the fight. But ultimately it's the next generation's story.
