STAR WARS: RETROSPECTION- Holocron

"Ooh, a grappling gun. You know, I've always meant to shoot someone with one of these..."

You folks don't really have many explosives. Rand got all of his junk from the Mecrossans, who are happy to lend a hand when it comes to Sithy things.

(And none of us have the skill Sabotage.)

"Wonderful," Rand says to Dak, before shoving the rifle into your hands also. "Save it for the natives."

Rand also wishes to express that you all will be hiding who you are when you get there. The spacer town has the potential to be crawling with bounty hunters.

"An unneeded distraction from our purpose on Vorkuta," Rand says. "Still to blasters and knives and what have you. No sabers, no powers."

Xavier just finishes putting his sabers in his cloak as Rand says this.

"You've got to be kidding us." Xavier.

Dak growls in Rand's face, just for a moment, as he takes the rifle. "I hate hiding. It never works long, and we're end up worse for it when they find out."

"I simply hate not being able to use my lightsaber," Rianna says, glaring very pointedly at Rand.

"It is concealment or entering the jungle already tired and hurt," Rand says. "Your choice."

Galder offers no complaint.

"Fine, we'll see how this goes Rand." Xavier says as calmly as possible.

Rianna just shrugs off Rand's comment.

They rarely manage to keep their identities secret for long, after all.

Rand asks that you at least try.

Trax has The New Beginning fueled and ready, with the coordinates for Vorkuta already locked in. Galder comes aboard and goes straight to the cockpit, to help Trax navigate. The rest of you can do as you please.

Now, in the past Ush has opened polls asking the Dark Siders which Dark Side emotion they favor. In that spirit, I am going to ask again:

Which Emotions do the members of the Psycho Brigade favor?

The choices are: Fear, Anger, Hatred, Hubris, and Rivalry.

"Have you forgotten which of us does most of the stealthy work that needs to be done? I can hide myself far better than you can, Rand," Rianna snaps at him.

And oh god, this again...I'm actually not sure. Rianna's pretty equally split between Anger and Fear.

To your chagrin, you must choose ONE...

Galder is quite solidly Anger.

Fear, then, probably. Most of Rianna's rageyness is her hiding her fears and regrets, after all. Not that she'd ever let anyone know that, of course.

Dak is totally Hubris.

I guess Hatred would be Xavier's general emotion when it comes to things.

Another question for each of you then- why that emotion?

Because it fits 😛

Rianna is, when it comes down to it, a nervous, paranoid, fearful person who takes things too seriously and tends to worry about things going wrong. She doesn't like or get along with other people and never has. Basically if something can go wrong, with her it probably has. She also tends to be exceptionally angry but a lot of the time that's how she covers up that she's nervous or afraid about something.

Dak's primary pathology is that he must be secure in his superiority. He has a very high view of his competence and capabilities, and being shown his limitations, or being implied to have lower limitations than he thinks, is the trigger of his violent reactions. Hubris is the core of Dak's personality and madness.

I would have said Pride if that were an option , but Hatred probably fits the best for Xavier.

Because in his basest form Xavier's manifested darkside is his hatred at not being the kind of person he should be. He hates not being a good Jedi. He hates that he has a darkside, and he hates that he killed his Master, and he hates the path that he has been set on even though there is no going back for him.

And he ahtes that to 😛

Hubris basically is pride 😛
