ABILITIES - PART I

[npc_mod]

Tierce has all the skills of his template, one of the Emperor's Royal Guards.

Guardsmen are picked from the most elite of stormtroopers and given additional training; they're part bodyguard, part commando. Tierce can use a forcepike - a kind of retractable baton/staff which can be set to stun or to tear things apart - with great skill, and he's also good at hand-to-hand and knife-throwing. Actually, he's trained in the Echani art, in which combat is also a form of expression. He’s a fast, accurate shot with a blaster.

Tierce can usually tell if someone has a concealed weapon on their person, and he has a good idea where it is. He's able to stand for hours with nothing to do and still react with speed when the unexpected happens. He has no fingerprints at all, but his fingers sweat and exude oils normally, which means that glossy paper and cards give him a little trouble. He’s also a highly skilled slicer, or Star Wars’ version of a hacker. More than once his life has hinged on reprogramming computer systems or droids.

ABILITIES - PART II

He’s Force-Sensitive. Most of his template’s Guard training on that front went into vigilance, but he was also taught how to preserve the life of whoever he’s guarding. While in very close contact with them, he can use the Force to feed their life force with his own. If they have a will to live, they heal just enough to become stable so someone can save them. This takes a lot out of him. He can become comatose or even die if the injury is bad enough - he was drilled on performing the technique until it basically became instinct, but he was never taught how to stop before he killed himself. It’s not regular healing - on non-mortal injuries he can rely only on his medic training, which was extensive but “normal”. He can’t preserve himself

ABILITIES - PART III

[npc_mod]

He's got an impressive grasp of tactics, but it's abstracted. He's a better adviser than a leader and in fact isn't sure how to get people to do as he plans if they aren't already willing.

Thrawn could analyze art, architecture, and cultural signs in general in order to pick up on disturbingly in-depth details about the psych of the culture, the artist, and even the ones who favor certain works. Tierce can’t do that, though he can generally tell if two works were made by the same artist, for instance. But he knows that analysis of art is important, and it agitates him. He’s at his most relaxed in a truly natural setting, one with no deliberate hand behind anything. Studying someone’s masterwork can drive him straight into inner self.

GAME INFO + DREAM PART I

[npc_mod]

EDENSPHERE NAME: (What your character will be called in Edensphere) Clathrate.
BIRTHDAY LOG: Yeah. Let’s give those squirrels one more look, huh?
DREAM:
Life-energy
drifted through him like motes of dust in a sunbeam.  He floated in
liquid and darkness, asleep or not yet really alive.

Eventually
a light came on, and his eyes opened.  The thick liquid medium pressed
gently against them as he struggled to make his eyes adjust, and finally
the kaleidoscope of color and light changed, made sense.  He was naked
and in a tube, there were wires embedded into his scalp, and outside of
the tube, out in the air, someone was watching him.

DREAM PART II

[npc_mod]

Someone alien - shaped and proportioned like a man with blue-black hair swept back, wearing an unadorned white uniform with black boots. But his skin was a pale blue, and his eyes - his eyes were unmistakable. There was no pupil or white in either. They both glowed a strange and featureless red, unreadable as his expression. He was - he was a great man, whoever he was
