Place of Birth: unknown
Physical Appearance:
Revan stands at 5' 8,” a typical height for a female Near-Human such as herself. She normally dresses in her iconic rust-and-gold-colored armor, including the Mandalorian mask she retrieved from Cathar.
Underneath her helmet, Revan has gold skin typical of a Firrerreo, which goes silver when she's angered or upset. Her hair, which goes down to her shoulders (but is usually tied up when she's not wearing her armor), is two-toned; black and sky blue. Her eyes are a dark color, almost black, but she also possesses nictating eyelids, which allows her to see in ultraviolet light, another trait typical of a Firrerreo.
While she does love her armor and a traditional Jedi Robe, Revan knows the importance of blending in and tends to wear whatever style matches the area she's in. Excluding her Firrerreo heritage, she describers her features as “unassuming” and “average,” and pays little attention to maintaining her appearance save for basic hygiene.
Special Abilities:
[ Force Abilties ]Revan was strong in the Force—the most gifted of her time—and eventually, by all accounts, managed to gain exceptional command of the Force. Many of her peers were impressed by her talents and skills. Another powerful Jedi, Meetra Surik, particularly noted that Revan's command of the Force was greater than that of anyone else she had ever met.
Revan is among the few individuals in galactic history, who had significant exposure to both the light and dark sides of the Force, and she proved to be highly skilled in the use of both of these aspects of the Force. Due to these experiences, she was able to develop a perfect understanding of the concept of Unifying Force. During Revan's tenure as a Jedi Master, her command of the Force had reached to such a degree that she could channel both the light and dark sides of the Force simultaneously to perform unique feats. Both as a Sith Lord and as a Jedi, Revan learned a variety of Force abilities to succeed in her plans.
Revan could use the Force to augment her physical strength, speed, and perform various acrobatic feats. Revan had incredible Force sense abilities. With focus, she could sense the presence of another Force-user across the span of the entire Galaxy. she could also use the Force to assist her under challenging situations which involved precise judgements. During her stay on Dantooine, Revan performed Floating Meditation inconjunction with Telekinesis. Revan was adept at using the Force to directly heal her wounds without seeking medication attention. Revan also possessed the ability to resist the effects of poisons and drugs.
Revan was proficient in the application of Telekinesis being able to move heavy objects simultaneously with mere gestures. she could also hurl heavy objects as missiles towards her targets. In addition, she could Push, Grip, Choke, Wound, and Crush her targets with the Force. Revan could also use the Force to create a whirlwind of Force energy to overwhelm her opponents. Furthermore, Revan was adept in the use of Saber Throw technique and used this ability to cut down multiple opponents simultaneously from a distance.
Revan was proficient in the application of Force lightning, and also in the use of defensive techniques to counter it. Revan could use her bare hands to absorb and deflect very powerful Force lightning attacks. Very few Force-users in the galactic history have demonstrated this ability.
Revan possessed the capabilities to influence the physical and mental condition of her opponents. she was capable of using mind tricks on his opponents, and force his will on them. she particularly exploited The One with these abilities. Revan could also steal knowledge from her opponents, and particularly used this ability to probe the mind of Lord Vitiate during her first encounter with him. In addition, Revan could afflict her targets, and replenish her energies by feeding on them. she was particularly immune to the effects of fear. Furthermore, Revan could psychologically manipulate her opponents to use them as tools for her plans.
During her reign as Dark Lord of the Sith, Revan created a Holocron in which she feeded information of many dangerous Sith techniques and rituals, including the deadly Thought bomb. Several millennia later, this holocron was discovered by Darth Bane, who noted that Revan's knowledge of Sith Lore was greater than the entire information contained in the archives of the Sith Academy in Korriban in her time.
Though the full extent of Revan's abilities are unknown; prior to her final duel with Darth Malak, the latter acknowledged that Revan had surpassed his expectations. Revan proved her prodigious combat abilities during her struggle against the forces of Sith stationed on Star Forge. she was able to fight her way through a large number of battle droids, Sith troopers, and Dark Jedi prior to reaching the position of Darth Malak. Even though Darth Malak was well-prepared for combat on the Star Forge—he had grotesquely adapted the Rakatan device to draw energy directly from the chained Jedi captives—he could not stop Revan.
Revan was gifted with Farsight abilities, and commonly experienced Force visions, which guided her in her quests. she could also sense danger in advance.
[Inherited Abilities]As a Firrerreo, Revan is capable of seeing in ultraviolet light, and has potent regenerative abilities, often able to recover from minor injuries in a few moments and more major ones in a few hours. As long as something vital to the heart or brain is not injured, she's able to heal without treatment. More vital shots require medical attention.
Weapons:
Revan, despite being talented in many forms of combat, prefers to keep her arsenal simple, merely relying on her two light-sabers, one violet and the other cyan (formally red), grenades, mines, and whatever battle stims needs. She normally has a modified personal energy shield equipped, often activating it in combat, as well as a personal cloaking device which hides her from both senors and the naked eye. Her two lightsabers hilts appear as follows:
History:
Revan's exact birth date and location is unknown. However, it is known that she joined the Jedi Order at a young age as most others did. “Revan” is not her actual name either, as the Firrerreo race believe that knowing one's name is a way of having power over that individual. While Revan no longer believes that, she now finds it to “inconvenient” to switch over to her actual name. Having several masters, Revan trained alongside her friend Alek, who joined her in the Mandalorian Wars and later became her apprentice, Darth Malak.
Being very charismatic and possessing notable leadership qualities, by 3,964 BBY she was a Jedi Knight respected enough to amass a notable following that argued for Jedi intervention in the Mandalorian Wars. Though opposed in this by the Jedi Council itself, Revan could not be dissuaded. Revealing the horror of the Mandalorians' genocide of the Cathar, Revan bolstered her support base and then quickly circumvented the Council, exploiting a technicality that forced it to begrudgingly "sanction" the intervention she desired. With the Council sidelined, the charismatic young Jedi and her closest friend, Malak, were able to recruit and lead a faction of the Jedi Order to war without fear of reprisal.
Recognized as a talented military tactician and strategist, and the Jedi Order's most powerful champion, Revan directed the Galactic Republic to victory after assuming command of its forces in 3,961 BBY, finally ending the conflict the following year with the defeat and execution of Mandalore the Ultimate, the destruction of Malachor V and the disarmament of the Mandalorian Neo-Crusaders—acts which earned her a reputation among the Mandalorians as Revan the Butcher. In the wake of their triumph, Revan, her loyal Jedi followers, and the third of the Republic fleet that remained under her direct control ventured into the Unknown Regions—ostensibly in pursuance of Mandalorian stragglers—and ceased all communications with the known galaxy.
In those unknown regions of space, on Dromund Kaas, Revan and Malak came face to face with the long hidden Sith Empire and its Emperor. Thus, having already embraced the seductive Sith teachings she encountered at the Trayus Academy on Malachor V, Revan's induction into their traditions was finally completed. Bid by her newfound master to acquire the Star Forge—a superweapon of the Infinite Empire—on her behalf, Revan successfully tracked down the last Rakatan Star Maps required to reveal its location. Upon securing the ancient space station, however, she returned to the civilization she had left behind openly as Darth Revan, proclaiming herself to be the Dark Lord of the Sith. Commanding the continued obedience of many veterans of the Mandalorian Wars, and alongside the man who was now her Sith apprentice, Darth Malak, Revan betrayed the Jedi, turned against the Republic, and plunged the known galaxy into the Jedi Civil War.
Utilizing the Star Forge to spawn an immense armada, Revan cut a carefully calculated path of conquest through the Outer Rim, building her own powerful Sith Empire to which new converts regularly flocked. Though the Republic staved off total defeat for two years, thanks to the extraordinary battle meditation of the gifted Jedi Bastila Shan, Revan's ultimate triumph seemed inevitable until she and Malak were ensnared by a Jedi trap. As a Republic fleet engaged that of the two ruling Sith, a strike team led by Shan boarded Revan's flagship and battled its way to the Dark Lord. Moments before the Jedi engaged Revan in combat, however, Malak—sensing an opportunity to be rid of both the Jedi and the Master whose power he coveted—had his own vessel open fire on the distracted Sith Lord's bridge. Caught by surprise, Revan was incapacitated by Malak's attack and then captured by the strike team while her traitorous apprentice, believing his Master destroyed, seized control of her Empire.
her mind shattered, her memories scattered, and soon thought dead by the galaxy-at-large, Revan's life was preserved by none other than Shan, an act that forged a Force bond between them. Either unable or unwilling to restore their prisoner's true self, but requiring the knowledge buried within her mind, the Jedi Council used the Force to rebuild Revan with a new identity loyal to the Republic. Almost one year later, after Revan, still oblivious to her true past, rescued the captive Shan alongside Commander Carth Onasi and an eclectic band of allies on Taris, the Jedi Council on Dantooine opted to retrain her. Reawakening to her former skills and charged with unearthing the source of Malak's colossal fleet, Revan and her loyal comrades thwarted all obstacles and adversaries as she and Shan were guided by shared "visions"—in truth Revan's own memories—to the Star Maps on Tatooine, Kashyyyk, Manaan, and Korriban.
In the midst of this odyssey, the group was ensnared by Admiral Saul Karath, commander of the Sith fleet, and imprisoned aboard the Leviathan. Though Revan and her allies escaped, killing Karath along the way, Darth Malak confronted his former Master, revealed her true identity and ultimately recaptured Shan.. Continuing in the face of their loss, Revan and her allies successfully discovered the final Star Map and the location of the Star Forge. There, in the Rakata System, Revan rejected the darkness of her past, turned Shan—whom Malak had broken to his will—back to the light and vanquished the reigning Dark Lord, playing her part in the battle that brought the war she had instigated to a close.
Two years later, after having driven the warring Sith factions from Korriban, Revan—with more memories returning—left the known galaxy behind on a solitary quest against the true Sith Empire. As of 3,641 BBY, she was thought to have never returned.
Years later, Meetra Surik traveled into the Unknown Regions to aid Revan in her fight against the true Sith. She then discovered that she had been captured by a member of the Dark Council, Revan was freed by Meetra Surik and Scourge, one of her captors. The trio attempted to kill the Emperor, but Scourge turned on his allies when he realized their mission was doomed and killed Surik.
The Emperor held Revan prisoner for the next 300 years, feeding off of the Jedi Knight while he kept her in stasis in The Maelstrom. Revan spent her imprisonment fighting the Emperor, influencing the Sith to seek peace in the Treaty of Coruscant. Not long after the treaty, Meetra Surik's Force ghost appeared to a Jedi and told her of Revan's location, causing a strike team to infiltrate the prison and free her.
After traveling to Tython and informing the Jedi Council of everything he knew about the Emperor, Revan traveled to the Foundry and began to build an army of battle droids. In response, the Emperor sent a strike team of her own to destroy Revan, which infiltrated the station and defeated the Jedi Knight. But in a flash of light, Revan vanished without a trace, surviving by using Fold Space which accidentally transported her to this world.
It was said that when Revan was 'reborn' after her memory loss, she was neither 'Jedi' nor 'Sith' - Just someone who did what was right.
