During his time with the Jedi Order, Rand was a flawless Knight with a great love for history and diplomacy, ending many disputes by reflecting upon past conflicts. Once he was elevated to the rank of Jedi Master, he was given access to a higher level of knowledge, normally beyond many Knights due to its dangerous nature. Despite his discipline as a Jedi, Rand found himself more and more drawn toward the forbidden wisdom of the Sith. The Dark Side slowly corrupted him after reading tomes of Sith Lore and viewing tainted Holocrons, and eventually the Jedi Master snapped, giving in to the dark power that he craved during a combat mission to the gladiatorial world Rattatak. When his Padawan, Foghren, refused to join him, he brutally ripped his apprentice apart in a lightsaber duel. Going into hiding in the Outer Rim, Rand sought to develop a group of Dark Jedi as his followers, like the Sith of old. After bringing a trio of Dark Jedi into his fold- the swordswoman Rianna Xi, the well-traveled Tanic Starguard, and the academic darkling Gallador Enkidu- Rand sought to connect his group to that of the notorious Larios Kuylen, having heard of his exploits. Unfortunately, Kuylen had vanished, leaving only his lackeys behind, including the unstable Galder Starkiller. This and later additions, such as the wild Dak Kaliero and the prideful Xavier Kolarn, led to sentiments against his leadership which caused him to step down... for now.
Rand is a white-skinned Nautolan from the aquatic world of Glee Anselm. His eyes are black and piercing, and he wears his head tentacles tied back with two strips of black fabric. He wears a tattered, blood-stained and blackened Jedi tunic under a heavy, dark blue cloak, which conceals his single, red lightsaber, which has a hooked, poisonous barb from the mouth of a dangerous predator from his homeworld. Due to injuries sustained in a vicious fight at the Ghost Citadel, Rand was forced to adopt cybernetic implants to keep himself alive, including a synthetic heart that pumps a perpetual cold sensation into his chest and wires that run from the back of his skull into his spine to stimulate his nerves.
Dark Learning works the same as Scholar`s speciality?
I quess Gallador specializes in Jedi Lore, with interest in Sith and non-Jedi force Traditions. It means he is better in that area than Rand, so there is at least one skill he is better, and significant one...
Savoir-Faire speciality could also be useful, but Dark Jedi Lore is much more inspiring.

Heh. About the note about the Dark Jedi - Rianna's master was not actually a Jedi Master, she was a Knight, and she would have been the Scholar template, so meh, it works.
(also, I giggled at the description for my template, a lot. Fits so very well...)
By the way, I don`t want to be nitpicky, but I think Gallador lacks two skill points, which should go into Indimidation and Savoir-Faire, I think.

Sorry, Melkor, did indeed mess up your transition there (in fact you were due 3!)- for some reason your skill set was a real nightmare to analyse compared to the old Cultist template.

And regardless! It's the style rather than the logic of the thing! Poor bloody Council, they must be kicking themselves- "Bloody hell, we must stop giving Padawans Masters that they might be able to kill! This is getting silly..."
At least Kuylen killed his Padawan. That's the right way around.

Well, I once inquired Ush if we could get Darkside equivalent of Padawans, but he rejected it. It would be fun.

I think he means if he had a Jedi Padawan at the time; Kuylen killed his one (though to be fair, Kuylen had offered to bring Argentis with him when he faked his death, and if Argentis hadn't gone LOOKING for Kuylen to try and stop him he would have been fine. Kuylen wasn't actually psychotic)

Yes, I just find the idea of our group having students very amusing. But I can see Gallador or Rand having them. Galder would kill his, on the other hand.

Hee. I'd hope that the Council would never have been so stupid as to even contemplate Rianna trying to train someone else...we all know that that would be a complete and total disaster.
Rand`s padawan was always lightsider, I think. I meant Darkside disciple.... I quess it could be explored in Sith game for Darksiders.
