L O A D I N G : // …  8ABY : MONTH TWO … //

Since arriving, Darth Asmodeus in their persona of Stassam Char has begun to establish connections with both the First Order, and the New Republic. They have made large monetary donations to both groups. They have also donated various art pieces, and artifacts to New Alderaan, and the Jedi Order to seem like a friend of all people, and a proper philanthropist

During a New Republic Charity Gala they became well aquatinted with Chancellor Mon Mothma, after they gave a very sizable donation to the New Republic. 

As Darth Asmodeus they sent a Gotem mating statue to Alton Kastle after his coverage of Padmé Amidala’s kidnapping. This was because they knew the newsman had an inside source, and believed their apartment would be a source of good information. There they discovered that he was having an affair with Armitage Hux.  

During the event on Hapes, they attended a guest of Mon Mothma in return for the donation give. During the event, the Yuuzhan Vong attacked and in the chaos Stassam aquired the Gauntlet of Crassus. They also revealed themself to be a practitioner of the Dark Side to Bastila Shan.

hollyhock: how strong is your muse’s sense of ambition ? what’s something they strive for in life ?

   What Stassam strives for in life is nothing short of everything. Stassam believes that they know better than everyone around them and that their vision for the galaxy is the only vision that matters. Stassam wants to influence all of the major players in the galaxy so that through them Stassam can rule indirectly.

Unlike other Sith who have held galactic power, Stassam however does not believe Fascism or supreme authority is necessary for supreme authority. They believe Palpatine actually had more power as Supreme Chancellor of a democracy than he ever did as Emperor. While Stassam wants the Jedi and the small world views eradicated, they also do not believe it needs to be done with more. It can be done through making them archaic, or by making the people have such a deep distrust of them no one cares what they preach.

snapdragon : is your muse merciful ? why or why not ?

Stassam likes to think that they are very merciful, and that while they may not consider themselves an entirely ethical person, they are fair. Stassam can be understanding of why someone may have failed in a situation, especially when it comes to powers outside their control. They also believed that their method of executing the grand plan was far more merciful, yet effective, than what took place under Sidious.

Having inattentive parents Stassam was always left up to their own devices. This meant they were usually looking to get into trouble, or things they shouldn't be. Becoming a Sith did not help, the exact moment of no return for Stassam's innocence is more than likely the moment they were taken on as an apprentice by their master.

THEY are a FORTY-TWO year old NONBINARY HUMAN. they’re originally from RAXUS SECUNDUS and now show loyalty to THE SITH. they are best known for being an ART COLLECTOR/SITH LORD, and i hear they’re pretty CHARMING yet also MANIPULATIVE at times; i hope they survive the galactic civil war.

THE PAST

Tw: Murder

   The Char Family of Raxus Secondus were well known in the artistic circles of the galaxy, having a vast collection of pieces dating back thousands of years, and being frequent patrons of several operas. The last member of the family, Stassam was no different then their forbearers when it came to this desire to cultivate this collection. They did however differ in the fact that they were also a Sith Lord.

Being missed by the Jedi Order, Stassam was found by the current reigning Dark Lord of the Sith when they were ten years old, and for the next seventeen years served under her tutelage. When they were twenty-seven during an excavation at Moraband, where after the Sith relic they required was found, they made sure their master never left the tomb again by burying her within the abandoned tomb. 

During their own 15 years as the Dark Lard of the Sith Asmodeus kept the Sith hidden from the public as they believed that the Sith would be best off gaining power from the shadows, and tearing down the Jedi and the Republic from within. This was a belief they pushed to instill into their own apprentice Darth Tenebrous. To achieve they built many connections with business leaders and politicians that Stassam met at art houses, the opera, and auctions. They also began acquiring art pieces for these same people in return for favors, favors such as sell a certain mineral to this planet, vote a certain way on this bill, make sure I get a meeting with this person. Through influence the tendrils of the Sith would touch everything. 

In addition to the spreading of the Sith’s influence in galactic politics, Asmodeus and Tenebrous together worked on a virus, a virus they believed would be powerful enough to cut the Jedi’s link to the force, denying them any access to their powers. It would have crippled the Jedi Order, and fulfilled the Grand Plan by destroying their credibility and their ability to interfere in any Sith plot.  In addition once the Jedi were left unable to access the force, then the SIth would reveal themselves and establish themselves as the new arbiters of the Force, chosen by the will of the force. As Asmodues studied how virus would affect them biologically, they left Tenebrous to study the force itself, a task they thought simple enough for their apprentice. Despite putting over a decade into this plot, the virus would ultimately fail, and the plot would crumble. 

In 100 BBY, while on route to a property they owned on Scarif, Tenebrous feeling powerful enough, and believing Asmodeus’ defense low enough after their plan fell apart and the sith wanted time to decide their next move made their own power move to eliminate their master. During the course of the fight, Tenerbous managed to get the upper hand against their master and slew Asmodeus. Tenebrous made it look as though they died in a crash and turned the Char fortune into a The Chart Art Gallery on Raxus Secondus. 

THE PRESENT

Now in the present returning back to life, Stasam has seen that the Jedi Order did collapse, The Grand Plan started by Darth Bane had succeed......until it did not. They read, and studied as they came to discover Darth Tenebrous picked an apprentice, Plagueis, Plagueis chose Sidious, and Sidious rose to the office of Supreme Chancellor, had absolute power and squandered it. They had the chance for a Grand Sith Empire, and the fool let it all collapse in the span of less than 3 decades. Now that Stassam was returned to life, and they could see how horribly the Grand Plan had failed, it was time to use their place as the new reigning Dark Lord of the Sith to fix their errors. They would topple the Jedi Order and have power, but not in such a direct way. It was time to make sure the tendrils of influence grew once more for the Sith. 

PERSONALITY

Stassam believes that both love and fear are tools the Sith should utilize. Why should the people fear me if I could make them love me? Besides it was much easier to get someone who loved you to do what you wanted than someone who feared you. Though fear has its purposes in the eyes of the Sith Lord. Additionally, Stassam views themself as a sophisticated being, someone who enjoys art and culture of all the species of the galaxy. Stassam is also a big believer in free love, and through their life has had many partners, all of them they cared for in their own ways. Stassam believed that as a Sith it was their duty to get to experience every joy, every feeling that the Jedi could not. For in their eyes the Sith were not the evil ones, but rather the Jedi.
