WARNING! THE NEXT PART OF TEXT CONTAINS RATHER MASSIVE SPOILERS FROM DARTH BANE-TRILOGY OF NOVELS!! IF YOU ARE NOT FAMILIAR WITH THE TRILOGY AND DO NOT WANT TO KNOW THE BASICS OF THE PLOT THEN DO NOT READ FURTHER!!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Sith Lords are extinct, or so the Jedi are falsely led to believe! It's the time around a millenia before the George Lucas films everyone should be familiar with and again the Jedi and Sith were at war. Brotherhood of Darkness was the loose alliance of Sith Lords on the other side against the Jedi, again trying to wipe them out and gain the position to rule the galaxy. Although there was one being, a hugely tall and muscular man called Darth Bane, who believed the Sith would never win against the Jedi on the battlefield alone, the Jedi would always find a way to survive a war fought with armies. Instead he believed the Sith would only win through secrecy, deception and cunning. Bane dispised the weak alliance of the Sith even more than he dispised the Jedi.

Bane thought the inner conflicts of the Sith which always emerged after a time were only weakening the Dark Side masters: a few weaker individuals always united to claim the title of Sith Master from one stronger individual and so weakened the order. That was the reason Bane thought there should only be two Sith: a master who has the ultimate power and an apprentice to crave it. Eventually the apprentice would grow more powerful than the master and challenge him/her for supremacy and gain the title of Sith Lord for him or herself. That would simply be called The Rule Of Two.

Bane demonstrated his own mastery of secrecy, deception and cunning when he lured the Sith Masters leading The Brotherhood of Darkness into a trap with an army of Jedi. As a result the two alliances destroyed each other and left Bane as the lone surviving Sith Lord without the Jedi even knowing it. This was also the time when Zannah became important and a part of the galactic history! After the last battle between the Sith and the Jedi Bane was leaving the world of Ruusan, the planet the battle had been fought. Bane found Zannah, during that time only barely over ten years old, next to a few corpses of Jedi she had killed in anger and hate with the power of the Force because the Jedi had accidentially killed her friend, a native half sentient Ruusan being. Zannah felt no fear in front of the large muscular Dark Side master and without regret admitted she was also a murderer, just like Bane was.

On that very moment Bane took Zannah as his apprentice, he sensed the immense power inside the little blond curly haired girl and saw her as a potential possibility to carry on his legacy. Bane forced Zannah to go through several tests to prove she was worthy and powerful enough to become the second Sith and the apprentice in his new Rule Of Two. Zannah managed to pass those tests and soon after her training began on a nearly deserted world of Ambria which had a strong connection to the Dark Side of the force which only accelerated her learning.

For ten years the two Sith hid and let the Jedi to believe they were all extinct. During that time Zannah grew both physically and in power, her mastery with the lightsaber and with the Force grew. Bane was rather easily recognized because of his physical size and face but Zannah could blend into the crowd much more easily and she operated more on the field, creating conflicts in the Outer Rim to slowly but steadily weaken the Republic's grip from those worlds. The main idea of the Sith was to eventually drive the Republic into civil war and weaken it from the inside, to make it fight against itself, and then the Sith would seize the power for themselves. When Zannah was working in the front lines, still masking her true identity as a Sith, Bane worked to achieve more power and knowledge of the Dark Side by acquiring Sith artifacts and holocrons, making connections on the way so they could create small crises every now and then to create uncertainty and havoc in the Republic.

The two Sith managed to keep themselves hidden from the Jedi and other curious eyes but that came with a cost. Bane was acquiring a holocron from a long forgotten world of Tython when the Jedi found out about the two Sith. A fight took place on the world which left Bane nearly dead, but Zannah was able to save her master from nearly certain death and still use deception and secrecy to lead the Jedi to believe they were both killed and again let the Jedi to believe the Sith were extinct. This deception created a couple of more loose ends though the two Sith were forced to hunt down and eliminate though after Bane recovered.

During this time Bane suspected Zannah was too loyal and would not have the will and strength to challenge him for the title of Sith Master. Instead he believed Zannah was just going to wait for Bane to age and lose his power which would let her to easily kill him. In reality Zannah instead hungered for the title of Master and was only waiting because she felt she needed to find her own apprentice before she could challenge Bane. Not to fight with her against Bane but to be sure she would have an apprentice to continue The Rule Of Two if she managed to beat Bane. Bane instead had thought about finding one to replace Zannah if she did not challenge him soon. When hunting down the loose ends from separate directions Bane actually found one due the will of the Force but at the same time Zannah made clear her challenge would happen very soon. Bane retreated back to Ambria with his new apprentice, Darth Cognus, who was a female humanoid with strong foresight gifts through the Force.

Bane invited Zannah to Ambria for their last duel, to the planet where they had spent over a decade in secrecy and where Zannah had learned most of her powers. Cognus was not to intervene, she would swear to become the apprentice to the winner of the duel between Bane and Zannah. The Master and the Apprentice dueled on the sandy beach of the Force tainted lake on Ambria and after a fierce battle Zannah proved victorious. She cut down Bane with her Force powers and as a last desperate attempt Bane tried to transfer his essense into Zannah and take over her body, a trick he had learned from the holocrons. Zannah was not to become overthrown and her will proved stronger, she pushed Bane away into the darkness of the void and claimed the title of Sith Master for herself. After the fight Cognus kneeled before the new Sith Master and pledged herself to Zannah's teachings. The cycle would begin again from the beginning and one day Cognus would challenge Zannah for the supremacy...

Zannah is a normal sized and normally built human female. Her most usual choice of clothing is a black cloaked tunic with soft and comfortable undergarments which offer her easy manouverability and allow her to move with acrobatics during combat. The cloaked tunic also help her to blend in the crowd without raising too much suspicion and maintain her secrecy and secret indentity.

Zannah's most formidable powers and talents are her Force powers. During her training Bane discovered her unique talents for arcane Sith magic and sorcery which basically allow her to turn even trained enemies completely mad by waking up the biggest nightmares of her enemies. Even a trained Jedi has been proven to be unable to resist them. Basically Zannah herself does not even know what her victims see when under her spells but the horrors seem so real to the victims they usually start to fight them, even though they aren't real, and completely forget about Zannah. Zannah has the power to control the nightmares, she is able to drive the victim permanently mad and leave the victim as an empty shell or husk of a being. She also has the power to stop the nightmares before permanent damage if she chooses to use her powers as a warning or to just intimidate her foe. This lets Zannah to work with sublety without revealing her true identity to the crowd. She naturally is able to use the more usual Force powers like Force Pushes, Force Chokes(like Darth Vader) and Force Lightning but she usually prefers her arcane spells and magics due to their more subtle results.

Zannah also wields a less traditional lightsaber it being the double bladed variant. It's also custom made to suit her size better. A normal double blade usually has two one meter long blades but due to Zannah's rather small size her custom made saber has two 3/4-meter blades. Zannah's preferred lightsaber style is the most defensive one, Form III called Soresu(Obi-Wan Kenobi uses the same) as she lacks the physical strength to most effectively use the more aggressive forms. Due to her double saber and mastery of Soresu style Zannah's lightsaber style is usually mentioned as "an unpenetrable wall of defense" as Zannah's main target in lightsaber duels is to use her opponents power against her foe, tire her foe down for an opening.

Zannah has been created here to mostly be a story centric character for Star Wars scenes but vore scenes are also possible so do not hesitate to ask! Due to her size larger creatures can most probably best her if they can avoid or withstand her Force powers, spells and lightsaber. Zannah herself is not capable of any physical vore but the Dark Side may offer her chances to absorb power and essense from other beings. In below I will list a couple of rough ideas to build around that would fit nicely into her 'real story' but feel free to suggest if you have ideas of your own:

1) Zannah is on a mission when Bane is still her master, trying to acquire an artifact/create a conflict/to gain power for herself...Your character is either her enemy or something that would benefit Zannah on her mission and be useful.

2) Zannah is looking for an apprentice while still serving under Bane.

3) Cognus has proven unworthy/never existed and Zannah is looking for an apprentice after beating Bane, being the sole Sith Lord in the galaxy.

4) Your character poses a threat to Zannah some way, maybe being a republic advisor/agent, maybe found out that Sith still exist. Your character becomes Zannah's target and a race to survive and to eliminate lose ends commences.

5) Something else? Please share your idea and don't be afraid to whisper!
