Arsalis Kyrr
Oct 3rd, 2005, 01:03:20 PM
Ok, two new characters who are probably joining the Rebellion - Arsalis Kyrr and Xoriix Dvron. There is an unfinished thread which could, though it isn't very likely, deter their membership in the Rebellion, but I figured I'd go ahead and post this to see what everyone thought. You'll excuse the fact that some of their abilities aren't native to Star Wars, but I wanted someone who was different from the mainstream. I'm sure you understand. Also, read the whole story before you come up with an answer! Anyway, background for Arsalis and Xoriix:
(Sorry this is so long. It's hard to put it all here shortly.)
--------------------
Xoriix and Arsalis grew up together on Corellia and were best friends in childhood. They lived in the same neighborhood, went to the same school, and even went to college together to study Alchemy. Once there, Arsalis studied alchemy of life and healing, while Xoriix studied combat alchemy. Arsalis became very peaceful and docile, shunning violence and evil. On the other hand, Xoriix became enticed by the power available through combat alchemy.
One day, Xoriix decided that, according to the Law of Equivalent Exchange, he must make others around him suffer in order to increase his power. He attacked the students of the school, but was confronted by Arsalis. Arsalis was unable to defeat him, so he used alchemy to trap Xoriix inside him. Unfortunately, they now have a sort of multiple personality disorder - the two personas share the same body, and so alternate dominance of the body. When one takes over, the body morphs to the shape that that person's body originally had. Right now the switching is somewhat random, but they will eventually learn to control it.
In the process of their bodies combining, they lost some of their abilities in alchemy because of the change in the molecular composition of their bodies. However, since there are now two alchemists sharing the same body, their potential has risen, and both are able to access a limited amount of the ability of the other - Arsalis is able to perform combat alchemy, but Xoriix is much better at it, and vice-versa with life alchemy.
Because of the extreme variation in their personalities, very few groups will accept them as members - and those that will, Arsalis has no intention of joining. The Rebellian, however, is able to meet the desires of both of them - Arsalis is able to help rid the galaxy of evil, while Xoriix is able to "increase his power." It is this compromise that will eventually enable them to contol the switching.
As Arsalis is the one who actually performed the alchemy that combined them, he is the main persona, and is most often seen. Xoriix usually comes out in times when Arsalis feels very angry or is in great danger. The dormant persona is also able to communicate with the active persona, and Arsalis is able to keep some restraint on Xoriix's killing, so that Xoriix is unable to attack a teammate, though he may still threaten them from time to time. Just know he can't follow through with the threats unless Arsalis lets him, which only happens when a teammate is endangering a mission.
In the Alliance, Arsalis and Xoriix would be a sort of special ops person, as alchemy offers a variety of skills to its users. Their jobs may be related to the Imperial Inquisitoriate or the Navy Seals, but bear in mind that alchemy is not as powerful as the Force, it simply offers limitless weaponry.

The bios are essentially the same for the two, with only slight modifications. Their alchemy is based off of the Anime Fullmetal Alchemist.
Thanks for your consideration!
