HENRY GOLDING // have you met DARTH CONTRA yet? HE is a THIRTY-FOUR year old CIS MALE SITH PUREBLOOD. they’re originally from ZIOST and now show loyalty to THE OLD EMPIRE. they are best known for being a SITH LORD / REVANITE, and i hear they’re pretty STRATEGIC yet also INFLEXIBLE at times; i hope they survive the galactic civil war.
THE PAST
born to a couple of powerful sith lords, contra never had the choice of the path before him. he would become a sith lord himself, or he would die trying
contra’s talent in the force came late, a fact that made his early childhood difficult. his poor grasp of the force didn’t keep him from being subjected to life-threatening situations for the sake of training. his survival relied on his ability to think outside of the box
due to his parents roles in the empire, and their nature, they spent little time with him aside from to assess his training. most of his care came from imperials under his parents command, and in place of his parents he came to care for them
when he finally showed apitude in the force as a young teenager, his training advanced and he was eventually sent to the sith academy on korriban
his training on korriban progressed uneventfully, and he was selected as an apprentice for a sith lord who worked under the sphere of military offense
contra spent a large amount of time working with the imperial military, getting along well with the soldiers due to having been more-or-less raised by regular imperials. he quickly came to realise that this was not typical sith behaviour, and his first critiques of the sith were born
for a time, contra served as a loyal sith, however his dissatisfaction with the sith began to be noticed. unbenknownst to him, he was being scouted by the revanites
eventually approached by the revanites, contra agreed to join them due to a growing belief that the sith - or, at least, current applications of sith philosophy - were harming the empire, and saw the revanites as a the better option
due to the secretive nature of the revanites, contra had to keep his allegiance to them a secret, and began to live a double-life. contra was more loyal to the revanites than the sith, but his ultimate loyalty lay with the empire and her people
eventually contra earned his full title, continuing to work for the revanites as the war between the empire and the republic officially reignited
contra was with the revanites when revan - the person that their order revolved around - returned from the dead and took control of their operations. while contra did not agree with all of revan’s decisions, he was ultimately loyal and fought alongside the revanites on rishi and yavin 4 due to a belief in revan’s plan to defeat the emperor once and for all
during the battle on yavin 4, darth contra was killed by the coalition forces
THE PRESENT
waking up on yavin 4 was a surprise to contra. more of a surprise to him was the fact that his injuries were gone, and it appeared that a long time had passed
coming to realise what’s happened, contra chose to return to the empire, keeping his alleged treachery as a revanite close to his chest, as he works on deciding if this empire is one worth fighting for
PERSONALITY
contra is very much a ‘brains over brawn’ type of guy. being a sith pureblood, most assume that he’s very strong in the force, but he’s really... not. his biggest asset is his ability to think his way out of problems
...that being said, his biggest flaw is his inflexibility. he takes a long time to reach a conclusion, but when he’s reached one, it takes a lot to get him to change his mind
despite being a sith, he cares little for sith philosophy. he’s loyal to the empire first - and by that, he means the people of the empire, not the ideals of the empire - and when sith philosophy gets in the way of this he has no issue with tossing it
while the people of the empire are where contra puts his loyalty, the revanites are important to him. he believes in their philosophies far more than he has ever believed in sith philosophy, and as long as it doesnt endanger the people of the empire, he will prioritise the revanites
he’s a pretty quiet guy. he prefers to observe before taking action, and doesn’t like to waste energy on things like small talk. that being said, he knows how to put up a front and play whatever role is necessary for the situation he finds himself in
