QUESTIONNAIRE
Event Character roles require a good amount of knowledge of lore, server history, and current server events.
Answer these questions as best you can to demonstrate these attributes.
Minimum effort will not be tolerated.

What interests you most in the Star Wars universe?
Any character with proper development, especially when it applies to other characters and their individual development. The stories of cross interaction, bridging stories/genres together. Stories of emergence(like the Sith returning from the unknown regions to reclaim Korriban) or Vitiate’s reemergence as Valkorion. Anything to do with Mandalorians. Period.

What is the name of your character, and what is their history?
Sha’Keen, Phantom of Kashyyyk. Sha’Keen was once Darth Titus, Wrath of Avus Rann and Voice of Ziljian Bor. Using both his Darth name, Titus, and his birth name Rhikam, he made a name for himself as a servant of the Empire. Born to a family of unknown origins in the unknown regions, Rhikam was taken in as a foundling under Quakes of Clan Bor. Rhikam would take on the name Sha’Keen with their new mandalorian identity. As a result of the Mandalorians' defeat and dishonor at the hands of the republic, the naturally force sensitive Clan fled to the Sith, believing them to be the last true strength the galaxy had. After years of development and strengthening, Rhikam, now Titus, had found himself as the Emperor’s Wrath, exacting Avus Rann’s rage on the Emperor’s enemies. During his tenure as Wrath, he found himself working on the defense of Kashyyyk, where he had slain countless Jedi, some of whose voices still echo with him as a reminder of the machine he had been turned into. While Wrath, he actively tried bringing his brother back home to the Empire, having to tap into both the Dark and Light sides of the force, to kill people who tried to stop him from reunification, and the lightside to heal and protect his brother. Finally his brother returned to the Sith as the Emperor’s Apprentice, this was the accomplishment of his first goal. His final acts as a servant of the Sith would be after Avus Rann had left the throne, and Sha’Keen was to become the Emperor’s Voice under Ziljian Bor, his trueborn brother of Quakes Bor. As the Voice of Ziljian, he found his physical body to be killed upon the Flagship of the former Emperor, until his consciousness was placed into a holocron with the others that perished aboard that ship. In this holocron, he stated that were he to survive he would not return to the Empire, unless his presence was of absolute necessity. He had served his brother until his death, seeing his second and final goal achieved, he decided it was time to step away from it all.

What drew you to the character role you have selected?
My character realistically has been alive for 5 and a half years now, but current server lore only dictates that this iteration and last iteration are considered lore. My character has been a servant since his beginning in current lore, and as a result of the events on Avus Rann’s flagship and his consciousness being inside the holocron, he is at the point where he can make his own decision as he's been freed of his chains. My character chose self exile on Kashyyyk as a means for silencing his busy mind. This destination he viewed fit as a result of the pain he caused during the first Conquest of Kashyyyk. Reduced himself to the hermit of kashyyyk. I have always wanted to take this character down a similar path, focus more on the RP and development of his knowledge and step back from the faction management role that he has had for a decent time now. Unironically 'time for me to focus on me' type stuff, Sha'Keen just wants to worry about himself for once.

What are your character’s main motivations, and how will you use that to drive your story?
My characters main motivations
Sha’Keen is done with his involvement in the galaxy’s affairs. Having completed the two goals he was honor bound to accomplish, he had nothing left in the Empire. He was to leave behind his legacy with the remnants of his family. On the outside he wants to be done with the galaxy and just wishes to resolve his existence to the gathering of knowledge, but deep down he's preparing for and dreading the galaxy to be turned upside down
Sha’Keen has returned to his Mandalorian name, given to him by his adopted father Quakes, as a return to his old self. Having freed himself from the binds of servitude, he is using his newfound freedom and alone time to focus on becoming more adept in the force. Using knowledge from ancient societies and groups, like the rakatans or even more recently the Revanchists, Sha’Keen may primarily use the Dark side, but knowledge on the Light side is still knowledge after all. On top of his intellectual desires, he has witnessed first hand some of the galaxy's most influential and devastating events, he uses his wisdom and experience to advise those worthy of his counsel that seek him. Though he wishes his knowledge to be used for the best, he is rather cautious of unknown characters, so he tends to not assist until he is sure of their intentions. Most importantly, Sha’Keen is bound by honor to protect his family. Family is not purely blood for Sha’Keen, and even though he may have exiled himself from what remains of his family and his empire, through his ever developing knowledge he can hopefully lend a hand if necessary. (Solve anything with the Minerva arcs, EE, the ‘council’, etc.)

FORCE USER
Why has your character not joined either the Jedi or Sith with their Force abilities?
Sha’Keen was originally a Sith. He hasn’t necessarily stopped being a Sith, he has just resolved to remove himself from their affairs and restraints. He holds no rank or title in the Empire, but is still technically Sith. Sha’Keen still intends on following the will of a Sith, in bending the force to his will, however he believes that this involves all aspects of the Force, Dark and Light. Obviously even more so will not join the Jedi as they are even more dogmatic.

What is your character’s goal within the Force?
To use ancient knowledge and teachings to become more adept in all aspects of the force. Sha’Keen intends on using the knowledge harvested by these societies and orders of the past to help forge a path to the future factions and orders.

What is your character’s interpretation of the Force?
The Force may be in everything and everyone, but ultimately it is a tool. A tool to bend to his will. Sha’Keen believes that just because one may not inherently be force sensitive, the force impacts everyone and everything, and he who can bend the force can better control their fate. He does not intend on using such knowledge to gain power within or over a faction, but rather to let his knowledge pass on to the next generation. He has not lost all will, but rather has no direction at the current time.

What is your character’s interpretation of the Jedi and Sith Codes?
For the most part Sha’Keen will live by the foundation of the Sith Code. He believes that ultimately he must free himself from his chains, but doesn’t have a dogmatic conception of the code. Sha’Keen believes in two absolutes of the code, ‘Peace is a Lie’ and ‘through victory my chains are broken, the force shall free me’, the other lines are mere interpretations of one's own will.
As for the Jedi code, he believes that there is only one truth. ‘There is no ignorance there is knowledge’. Otherwise Sha’Keen believes that the Jedi use the code as a shield to cower behind, to hide the truth of their weaknesses and insecurities. This is why he and other members of his family use the lightside occasionally. They believe that being adept in both aspects of the force unleashes one’s potential.

+2 - Interesting concept and makes sense with what his character has been through to be something beyond a standard Sith or Jedi.
