Name: Alexander Vice
Race: Human
Age: 28
Height: 6' 2"
Weight: 198- 240lbs. (With Prosthetics in mind)
Appearance:
Personality: Calculative, strategic, and reserved; Alex Vice is vastly known for his intellect, both in and out of battles. Despite his aspirations on the prospect of the dark side, his qualities are more on par with that of the Jedi. He often shows a substantial level of patience, collaborates well with his members, and strives to coordinate in groups. His personality is very taciturn and hidden, and rarely does he speak unless he has something rather important to say.
Birth place: Coruscant
Faction: Sith/Space Pirate
Rank: Initiate
Bio:
CHILDHOOD
"Not bad, for a little runt. What say you take a walk with me..." — Grad Lavarse to Alex Vice after taking interest in his ability to tamper with Ion dynamics
Alex grew up to a wealthy family despite his eventual outcome. He was a prudent learner, a keen adapter, and was unnaturally structured for his age. Inevitably it was his constant ventures below Coruscant that perhaps lead him to darker ways, finding faith in the philosophies that destroyed such differences between the concept of good and evil. He soon "ran away" from home, joining Grad Lavarse, captain of worn down warship at the time, and unwillingly supporting his hobby as a space pirate.
While growing up with a mother and father who were integral supporters of the Republic Senate, their devotion led to a distant relationship with Alex. Because of their popularity and necessity, they were often nonexistent within Alexander's life. Teachers and sitters often replaced Alexander's parents. He spent unnecessary time studying under the tutorship of these paid recipients, instead of enjoying his youth. Due to these extremities, Alexander adopted a life of mischief and seclusion. Often locking himself away in his room and working on his latest instrument or droid. Other times he'd simply runaway to spend time in Coruscant's lower quadrant, where he'd listen to stories from the brigands and space scum of the world. It is said that much of what he deciphered in his own musings of philosophy, derived from the knowledge inducted by his tutors, and by the counter knowledge inducted by the low-lives of the galaxy. Alexander's skill in dismantling and rebuilding tech had seemed to bring about an arbitrary comfort amidst all of the neglection. And his fascination for how things worked grew. He would escape below the surfaces of Coruscant and work on anything from a broken down speeder bike to a ship that was long thought useless by the majority crowd. Because of this, the running became more frequent.
It was during one of his recent escapes that Alexander met with Grad Lavarse, a small-time space pirate who owned an Oppressor warship which was deteriorating at the time. Alex approached Grad and his crew while they were arguing over their ion engines. Having been 14 at the time, Alex tampered with the engines midst the crew's bickering, and managed to return them to operational status. The success mired their attention, and Grad realized Vice's potential. Inviting Alex onto the Oppressor warship, Vice became part of the crew through force.
ADULTHOOD
"Your retirement came earlier than expected…" — Vice to Lavarse after executing him in front of the crew
Lavarse often used Vice's talents as an engineer to sustain his ship and provide weapon and shielding advancements for his men at arms as well. It was due to Vice's breakthroughs that eventually led to a greater success rate when raiding other space vessels; up to the point where they could contend with larger variants. They were at the peak of there success when Vice stepped forward, relieving Captain Lavarse in a brutal mutiny, justifying that his inevitable greed was inadequate, and would only hinder his judgment when compared to more important threats. Vice enforced stealth during his raids, achieving vast successes despite the increasing patrol of Republic forces. Suffice it to say, he was at the wrong place at the wrong time, when infiltrating a various Republic Sector on Naboo. A fluke in one of the sensor arrays weakened the cloaking device on his ship, causing the planet's security to notice an inevitable breach. They were fired on, and Vice immediately advised evasive maneuvers, the ship suffered a heavy blow to the starboard side, ripping the captain's quarters to shred's, and taking with it Vice's left arm and legs. After their escape, and Alex's full recovery he focused on prosthetics and weaponology. To this day, Alex shifts between boarding other vessel's for resources, and hacking Republic and Imperial mainframes for coordinates to mining locations in order to extract minerals for his projects.
GROMAS 16
The initial deposits of Phrikite on Gromas 16 were not evident until 2BBY, but various sources traced a relative possibility of it's abundance on a moon surrounding Gromas. Alexander went out of his way to research various elements that could contend with a light saber, at one point setting his sights on the Gromas 16 in order to obtain possible samples of the mineral. Other sources pointed to Tatooine. Eventually, Alexander was able to uncover a relative amount. Enough, to say the least, To work on his Prosthetics and his V-Class Rip Blade.
Light saber:
***The V-Class Rip Blade:
- Mark I
The V-Class Rip-Blade, was a katana-like weapon that was made of Cortosis and was used to resist light sabers. It eventually brittled over time and was destroyed.
- Mark II
Mark II was put into affect the moment Vice had acquired Tydirium and Phrikite materials. The Second and final weapon, the V-Class Rip-Blade, was created by mixing Tydirium with Phrikite to form Phrik. Creating a weapon that was contend-able with sabers on a surprising scale.
PROSTHETICS
Alexander has made a number of prosthetics that gear toward providing an exterior limb as well as advancing it in terms of weaponology and extracting knowledge. His current breakthrough, the N.O.V.A Prosthetic retains current primary use and is in it's Mark I phase.
***N.O.V.A. Prosthetic
Mark I: The Network Operating Virus Appendage was a prosthetic meant to hack into terminal systems with ease, either downloading vital information at lightning speeds, or uploading viral sequences in order to either bypass firewalls, or extract vital data. While it's use was valuable, at it's current stage it offered absolutely no protection, and could be easily disabled or destroyed. Vice engineered multiple models and implemented his synthennet in order to know preemptively when the prosthetic required maintenance. It's appearance was much smaller and more symmetric to his other arm, and was easily concealed and thought of as a normal prosthetic. On a whim, Alex could key up miniature data holo-grids in order to conduct his hacking procedures and keep on eye on the prosthetics overall diagnostics. It is currently composed of standard metals, and can be easily disabled by a light saber or powerful weapon.
T.R.U.M.P. Prosthetic: The Tactical Re-attachable Under Material Polearm is a secondary prosthetic used to quickly replace prosthetics that are damaged in combat, or in the field. While inferior looking and lacking substantial protection, it is nonetheless made of solid materials and is more durable than say the N.O.V.A class prosthetic. Allowing him to maintain an edge if caught in combat. It is easily concealable as it folds into itself for storage at the waist.
WORKING AMONG THE SITH
At one point Alexander initiated a raid on a ship that was traveling through uncharted Republic space, unaware that he had begun a siege on a Sith vessel. Commending Alexander and noticing his potential in the force, Darth Scurge, the senior Sith on board at the time, invited the Pirate to become a part of the Sith regime. Providing knowledge on various sectors fruitful with mining locations that could help entice his projects. Darth Scurge, through good faith, wittingly persuaded him to practice the ways of the Sith. To this day, Alexander has accepted the role of an Initiate, and promptly awaits instruction from a notable Sith Lord.
Practiced Light saber forms: Alexander suggested that more training in unarmed combat would be adequate, as he had stressed the traditional customs of forging a light saber wouldn't contend with his reliance on his lack of mandibles. The usefulness of it's knowledge was not ignored however, and Vice uses various forms when utilizing his rip blade. He assumes the more prolific forms of the Jedi, contrary to the Sith's fascination for Vapaad styles. He uses variations of form III and V. Utilizing a perfect balance between offense and defense.

Force Weapon - Was a skill Alex sought to master in order to maintain accountability of his droids and to ensure their protection when in combat with Force Sensitive foes. While he managed to keep them in the slue of this ability while in their presence, when out of position, they only managed to maintain these effects for a short period of time.
Specialized Skills: Alexander is an engineer. A prodigy when it comes to how technology works. A trait self-learned and partly associated with his force sensitivity.
RP Sample:
(This RP is a recount of an rp that took place elsewhere, and does not pertain to the characters current history or the current setting of this site.)
Darth Occisor, the prefect of the Sith Citadel on Ziost in the name of the Archon, looked up from his work on a data pad as Alexander stepped into his office. Occisor was a Noghri, suitably robed with the usual Sith garments, its hood put back to reveal his steel grey leathery skin, feral eyes and sharp-toothed grin. His office was little more than an empty room with a big rectangular slab of marble to make for a desk, a smaller slab for him to sit on and a crude file cabinet. There were no sources of light, save what scant cold light the Ziost atmosphere filtered through a small window, and the opening in the office door. The person who had been on the message was also in the room, watching from the corner. His features, beyond the smoke bellowing from his robes and a faint light emanating from behind his helmet visor, beneath his hood, were completely obscured.
Controversially, the stench of burnt meat that the being spread was quite prominent. "Alexander Vice." Darth Occisor said dryly, foregoing any pleasantries and completely ignoring the person or thing standing in the corner of his office. "You murdered a valuable member in the Sith Order. Why?" The question was blunt and relatively rhetorical, though the manner of the reply mattered more than the reply itself.
The looming figure of Vice did not shift at the question. Only his head rose, his eyes to meet Darth Occisor's-- subtle and translucent as they were-- despite the burning orange irises that stretched beyond the shadows drawn by his hood.
"To what length do you consider his value, master?" he implied, his voice low and bold. "Knowledge? His passion for the force? Or his strength? Because surely a man of these measures would be standing before you now, and not the lowly student who has knelt as his underling for so long?"
Vice's left hand stretched outward, so that his palm faced the ceiling. A hologram birthed from it's surface to reveal Darth Scourge's final moments.
"I have learned all that he had left to teach me. If it was his knowledge you valued, then fear not, master... for I have taken it from him..."
"...As well as his life."

The Red Splinter
The Red Splinter was a name coined by Alex after he mutinied Grad Lavarse.
The Red Splinter is a severely modified Oppressor War ship. Grad Lavarse found the vessel floating in deep space near the edges of the outer rim. Using every resource he possibly could, he brought it back into operation. And began his life as a Pirate. Even with the sizable crew however, the lack in experienced hands caused the ship to deteriorate at a rapid pace. It was only after Alex took control that it began to see vast modifications.
The Red Splinter's primary arsenal consists of Turbo laser Cannons. Since Alex's time it has seen a number of modifications, namely:
Cloaking Sensors
An Ion Cannon
Shield Arrays
Firewalls (to contend with cyber-warfare)
The ship's upgrades are based on materials and resources Alex manages to raid from communities and local shipments.
