Homeworld and Childhood:
Rhyssa hails from the planet Velmor, located in the Mid Rim. Velmor is known for its lush forests, vast oceans, and ancient cities that blend seamlessly with the natural landscape. The planet's culture places a high value on honor, tradition, and martial prowess, making it a fertile ground for warriors and strategists.
From a young age, Rhyssa demonstrated an innate talent for agility and a keen intellect, but she had little formal training in martial arts. Instead, her early years were shaped by a fierce independence and an unquenchable curiosity. Growing up in a modest family, she learned to navigate the complexities of Velmor's society through wit and cunning, often relying on her sharp mind to overcome obstacles.
Early History with the Starborn Sect:
Rhyssa's life took a pivotal turn when she encountered Darth Fauste during one of Fauste's covert expeditions to Velmor, shortly after the initial formation of the Starborn Sect in 8 ATC. Impressed by Rhyssa's potential and her natural aptitude for subterfuge, Fauste offered her a place within the newly established Sect. Rhyssa eagerly accepted, seeing an opportunity to broaden her horizons and put her skills to greater use.
Under the tutelage of Darth Fauste, Rhyssa underwent intense and secretive training programs designed to forge elite operatives. It was during this time that she was introduced to Echani martial arts, a discipline that emphasized agility, precision, and hand-to-hand combat. Rhyssa's adaptability and determination allowed her to master these techniques quickly, integrating them seamlessly with her existing skills in stealth and strategy.
Rise to Prominence:
Rhyssa's ascent to the position of top operative was marked by several key events:
The Assassination of Lord Veldar (10 ATC): Early in her career, Rhyssa was tasked with infiltrating the stronghold of Lord Veldar, a rival Sith Lord who had slandered Darth Fauste's name. Using her unparalleled stealth abilities and newly acquired combat prowess, Rhyssa eliminated Veldar and his key lieutenants, sending a clear message to any who would dare oppose the Starborn Sect.
The Acquisition of the Migrant Fleet (17 ATC): Rhyssa played a crucial role in the covert operations that led to the acquisition of the Migrant Fleet. She orchestrated the infiltration and sabotage of enemy defenses, ensuring the fleet's smooth capture with minimal losses. Her efforts not only secured a critical asset for the Sect but also cemented her reputation as an indispensable operative.
The Infiltration of the Obsidian Court (20 ATC): In one of her most daring missions, Rhyssa successfully infiltrated the Obsidian Court, the stronghold of their greatest rival, Darth Malvus. Disguised as a loyal follower, she gathered invaluable intelligence that enabled the Starborn Sect to thwart several of Malvus's schemes and strike devastating blows against his forces.
Relationship with Darth Fauste:
Throughout her career, Rhyssa maintained a close and complex relationship with Darth Fauste. The two shared a mutual respect and understanding, their bond forged in the fires of countless battles and covert operations. Fauste saw in Rhyssa a reflection of her own insatiable curiosity and drive for perfection, while Rhyssa viewed Fauste as both a mentor and a formidable leader.
Rhyssa's loyalty to Fauste was unwavering, and she often served as the Sith Lord's personal agent, executing missions of the utmost importance and secrecy. Her success in these endeavors earned her the title of top operative, a position she held with pride and dedication.
As the galaxy teetered on the brink of another Galactic War, Rhyssa remained ever vigilant, ready to carry out Darth Fauste's will and protect the interests of the Starborn Sect with ruthless efficiency.
- Motivations: Rhyssa's motivations are deeply intertwined with her loyalty to Darth Fauste and her commitment to the Starborn Sect. Having risen from a modest background on Velmor to become the Sect's top operative, she is driven by a desire to prove her worth and maintain the hard-earned respect of her peers and her mentor. Her primary goal is to ensure the success and dominance of the Starborn Sect in the galaxy, executing missions with precision and efficiency to achieve this end. She harbors a strong desire for personal growth, constantly seeking to refine her skills and expand her knowledge, much like her mentor, Darth Fauste. Despite her outward confidence and competence, Rhyssa harbors a deep-seated fear of failure—specifically, the fear of letting down Fauste and the Sect she holds in such high esteem. This fear fuels her relentless pursuit of perfection, pushing her to take on increasingly dangerous missions and challenges. Rhyssa also fears the loss of her identity and purpose, knowing that her entire existence is built around her role within the Starborn Sect. This duality of ambition and fear drives her every action, forging her into a formidable and unwavering force within the galaxy.
