Personal Information
Factional Affiliation: Sith Kingdom
Rank: Lord
Sexual Preference: heterosexual
Relationship Status: Single
Personality: All in all Rakoah is a zealot. She has absolute faith in the force and her visions, regardless of the consequences of her visions. She allows every single one of her visions to shape her life and dictate her actions. She will often become frustrated and angry when her visions do not entirely go the way she imagined, though when they do she experiences utter joy. For an older lady, she is actually quite light-hearted, at least that would be her outward appearance. This appearance, much like her apparent frailty is nothing more than a façade few see through. She is a woman largely ignored for the most part, though many seem to respect her. Whether this is because of her usefulness or simply out of respect for her survival skills is always up to date. Still, her façade remains regardless of her situation, helping distract individuals from her real strength. She has no qualms about a person’s privacy, and will insidiously reach out and spread her influence over those around her. Her influence is a gentle breeze or slow wave. It is constant and for the most part ignored, but ultimately victorious. Many do not see her as a threat, a mistake on their part, because should she see their death, she will make every effort to make sure it happens.
Force Abilities
Force Archetype: Sorcerer
Powers Known/Level of Mastery:
Adept – Chain lightning, Force Affliction, Precognition, Planetary Telepathy,
Apprentice – Grip, Force Jump, Force Speed, Force Drain, Force Sense, Basic Mind Tricks, Force Listening, Basic Telekinesis, Detoxify Poison, Tutaminis
Lightsaber Forms Known/Level of Mastery:
Adept = Ataru – As she grew older, her Ataru form became her favoured form, whilst using this form the woman is remarkably spry for her old age. It makes her lethal in this form, due to the surprise of her sudden quick movements.

History
The event of Rakoah’s birth went unnoticed in the galaxy as a whole. On Alpheridies it wasn’t unusual for a force sensitive child to be born there. Things progressed smoothly at first. As soon as she was old enough she joined the Luka Sene, where she would begin her training to use the force. Naturally her skills flourished, but so did the dark side with her. It soon became apparent, even at such a young age that she had a natural talent for precognition. As she grew up she knew things would happen before they did, and she would allow it to happen. In her mind, her visions were fact, so when she witnessed a friend of hers dying in front of her, she did not seek help or find aid, instead she just watched and allowed it to happen.
Following this incident, Rakoah was taken into seclusion from society whilst the Luka Sene attempted to turn her back from darkness, which she seemingly embraced. They attempted to do this, until Rakoah was twenty. It seemed she had a vision of herself killing another student, who had been told to aid her in her studies. When the student arrived in Rakoah’s home, she took a knife and gutted them. Naturally, Rakoah was arrested and taken to a Miraluka holding facity and placed in a force cage, there she remained for another seven years.
Thirty years before the Battle of Yavin, Rakoah had a yet another vision; this time of a planet called Dromund Kaas and demanded her immediate release. She railed against the confines of her cell day after day, until the Luka Sene decided to contact the Jedi Council for their aid. Their intent was to prove Rakoah’s words false and cause her to lose faith in the visions. Immediately the Council sent one of their Miralukan Jedi to their homeworld and soon enough they were face to face.
Over the weeks of conversation between Rakoah and the Jedi, she insisted that the planet existed, despite the fact that the Jedi told her that no such planet existed, even within the vast source of knowledge within the Jedi Archives. Still Rakoah insisted, her rage built within her after every denial of her vision. Soon enough her rage built enough to affect the space around her, breaking the cell open like glass. Though the Jedi moved to defend himself, Rakoah turned her rage on him. Lightning shot from her fingers and the Jedi’s defences crumbled. She then stole his lightsabre and made her way out of the prison. Along the way, she killed several guards using her newfound lightsabre.
When she finally got out of the prison, she escaped into the city and raced to the spaceport. As she moved she allowed the force to guide her to a ship, and once inside she dealt with the owner. Quickly she told the droid to take her away from the planet, and it complied after being reminded of what she had done to its previous owner.
It would take her three years to arrive on the surface of Dromund Kaas, after seemingly wandering across the galaxy in search of the former capital of the Sith Empire. She arrived on the steps of the ruined Imperial Citadel. It was there she met the Dark Prophets, who had seen her arrival as well. After showing them her acquired lightsabre as evidence of her devotion to the force, they took her in as an acolyte. She would begin serving the Prophets (and by extension Darth Sideous) with her visions.
Despite having been removed from the archives, Dromund Kaas was the centre of a battle between the Separatist movement and the Republic. Though the Dark Prophets did not participate in the battle itself, they did witness the victory at the hands of the separatists. Fortunately the separists did not seem to want to stay, and thus left shortly after the fighting. After the fighting on Dromund Kaas the ruins fell silent again. Over the years many acolytes and Dark Force users would be sent to train amongst Rakoah and her fellow prophets. Rakoah trained some of these throughout her time in the Dark Temple, until her life would be changed again by yet another vision.
The vision of the Dark Child came when Rakoah was meditating at the highest point in the Dark Temple, a balcony that looked out across the Kaasian jungles. Like always it was raining and just when she believed no vision would come, lightning struck the temple. Just like that the vision took over her mind. The vision came in flashes. First she saw a Rattataki mother screaming for her child. Secondly she saw said Child, born and much older, still the mother cried, though her silence was found with a swift movement of a lightsabre, Rakoah’s lightsabre. She saw him grow up on a planet she wasn’t familiar with; it was hot and arid and stained with blood. There were Sith there, lots of them. She soon saw the boy lost, fleeing for his life panic stricken and clambering for freedom whilst two foes fought to capture him. She saw the deaths of many who followed after the child, people whose faces and clothes she couldn’t quite recognise and more planets she had never seen. She saw cities burning and starships exploding, as well as all manner of atrocities. The vision ended with a confrontation, the child was there, so was she, but there were also others there too. Their faces were plain to see, but she recognised none of them. They were stood together among the wreck of a battlefield within a city whilst the rest of the remains burned. The bodies of the people who had fallen in the battle surrounded them and she could see its beauty. She could see the child’s life in front of her and she knew it had to be.
After informing the other prophets of her decision to leave Dromund Kaas to find the child, the contacted the Inquisitorius, who sent their agent Atron to accompany Rakoah on her quest to find this child.
Once Atron came with his storm troopers, Rakoah left Dromund Kaas and would not return for ten years. Rakoah’s search across the galaxy for the boy who would fulfil her vision, would lead her to many worlds searching for the right Rattataki boy, though none were of the right age when she found them. It took her nine years to find the boy. He had been born within the slave pits within Hutt space, as Rattatakis were often used in fighting arenas, given their brutal culture. It wasn’t any wonder why it had taken so long to find the boy, though Rakoah simply put it down to the fact that he simply wasn’t old enough to be found. Rakoah was forgiven nonetheless, as her travels had brought them to other force sensitives along the way and most were sent back to the Empire, others were just killed.
Like her vision, when she came to take the child the mother screamed. Although it was wrought with fear, it wasn’t one out of ignorance. The woman knew what was to come for the boy, what he would do and cause. Rakoah would’ve been interested in the woman, had the vision not have dictated her fate. Inquisitor Atron could only watch as Rakoah marched up to the mother of the child and struck her down. There was absolute certainty, the mother’s panicked jabbering had confirmed all of her motivations and as such, made her death absolute.
Elsewhere in the galaxy, events were afoot. The Supreme Prophet’s prediction had born fruit, and the Emperor met his end on Endor along with his apprentice, Darth Vader. At the same time the Dark Prophet’s rose up in defiance of the Empire, and led an invasion of Korriban accompanied by forces they had corrupted on Dromund Kaas. Rakoah and Atron were returning to Imperial space when they received a message from the new Sith Kingdom, alerting them of their new Emperor. Betrayed the officers aboard the ship Rakoah and Atron were on, decided to turn on their Dark aligned companions, determining them as a threat to Imperial security. Both instantly leapt into action. Together they assaulted the ship and made sure to completely eliminate all Imperials from their vessel. Unfortunately, the ship was damaged in the attack. With no choice but to keep away from Imperials as much as possible and stealthily head back to Sith Kingdom space, they wouldn’t return until the very next year.
By the time they arrived back of Dromund Kaas, the Kingdom had already begun rebuilding the Imperial Citadel, to make their seat in the galaxy whole again for the first time in over three thousand years. Immediately both Rakoah and Atron were elevated to Sith Lords. The child however was immediately stripped from Rakoah’s side, and immediately given to a Darth Trevius, who adopted the boy, giving him the name of Jin. With little in her vision to attest such an action, Rakoah accepted the Darth’s wishes. Despite this, she would continue to watch over the child for the next few years.
Three years later, another scene from her vision came true. Darth Trevius invited Rakoah to accompany him on a trip to Korriban to witness the opening of the Sith Academy, and Jin’s first steps on the path to Sith. Like in her vision, Korriban was hot and arid, soaked in the blood of many and positively infested with dark side users. She soon decided her place was within the academy, and installed herself as a permanent face the acolytes saw as they progressed through their trials. Occasionally, students and sith alike would approach her for her visions as her reputation spread through the academy. She would give honest answers where she could. Sometimes her answers would end up being a little too honest. Sometimes acolytes would get angry and lash out and she would bring them to their knees, sending them away with their tail between their legs. After Rakoah successfully predicted the death of a minor Darth at the hands of his apprentice, people became wearier of her prophecies. The result was a more cautious approach to her; some even respected her for her honesty.
Life for Rakoah eventually slowed down and she remained more or less quiet for the next nine years. That was until Jin came to her with a request. He desired to see her vision; he needed to know if what people had said to him throughout his life and that he was finally prepared to deal with the consequences. After some preparation, Rakoah and Jin returned to Dromund Kaas and went to the Dark Temple, ascending up to the place where she had received the prophecy almost thirty years earlier.
The two, when they arrived, meditated on the balcony, until the prophecy was triggered. Using her connection to Jin, she reached out and sent the prophecy directly into his mind. She instantly felt the panic rush over him. The fear flooded out of his body and crashed against her, breaking her concentration. It had apparently been just in time, as Jin had pulled his lightsabre on her and the two were suddenly sabre-locked. She saw his face, panicked, lost. She knew the chase would start from that point on. They began to duel in the upper levels of the temple and Rakoah allowed herself to be put on the back foot. She knew he was fighting to give him a chance to escape, and so she allowed it. She knew what was going to happen from there, and if he needed to flee so be it. He wasn’t going to escape her or his fate. He was destined to bring the destruction of a world and she would make it happen. Once to the top of the stairs of the temple, Rakoah allowed him to disarm her, collapsing down against a pillar. Having seen her go down, and hearing voices below, Jin decided to make a break for it and thus quickly disappeared. Sith troopers quickly found their way up to Rakoah’s level, Rakoah then demanded a ship and some men to accompany her after the Dark Child.
Twenty-five years after the Battle of Yavin, still continues her hunt after the Dark Child, knowing that soon her prophecy will be completed.
