TELL US ABOUT YOUR FINE SELF: They/them or just use my name, as you like. Just another nerd in the midwest US, my day job is Japanese-English translation and I wish I knew more Chinese for hanging out with all these fictional boys :p I haven't been a DWRP regular for a long time but some of you probably remember me from Hakuouki fandom where I played Sannan. I'm also pretty into Dragon Age and Critical Role, and I play quite a bit of D&D :) Also a big tea enthusiast.

CHARACTER: Archeval aka Darth Imperius. He's a Customizable Bioware RPG Main Character lol, canon refers to him generically as the Sith Inquisitor.
CANON: Star Wars: The Old Republic (Bioware MMORPG)
ELEVATOR PITCH FOR YOUR CHARACTER: Very short, very cranky rags-to-riches Space Indiana Jones who occasionally eats ghosts. His day job is doing his best impression of an evil asshole and he almost certainly doesn't like you but would probably die for you anyway. While complaining about it the entire time.

ICE BREAKER ROUNDS:
i. Here your character is, minding their own or someone else's business in a tavern of the Sa-Hareth merchants' arena, when in comes a particularly persistent middle-aged woman with an eerily trademark haircut, insisting your character should give her prompt, first-class and no-nonsense service now, or she'll speak to their manager. How does your character react?

First he'll stop for 0.5 seconds of irritation that he can't just turn on 100% Maximum Haughtiness and be like "madam do you realize you're speaking to a Sith Lord, I could murder you right now and no one here would say a word except to ask what should be done with the body" like he could back home lol. After getting over that frustration he'll just coldly and not-particularly-kindly inform her that he doesn't work here, and if she doesn't promptly shut her mouth and stop interrupting the business of everyone around her then he will give her something to really have a problem about. Possibly with a hand on his lightsaber or whatever sharp object is on his person at the time, if he's feeling particularly cranky.

This would all be extra hilarious if he happens to be wearing his ancestor Kallig's famous helmet at the time.

ii. A weirdly hapless humanoid undead that thinks itself a dog keeps following your character (home). What does your character name it?

Nuisance. It would start as "just get out of here, you absolute nuisance!" and as the creature proved itself increasingly harmless (if unnerving) would turn into more of a complain-y sort of name as he would probably semi-adopt it over time. He has a bit of a weakness for awful uglycute pets, though he prefers ones that he can feel in the Force and that aren't uhh, rotting.

ANY EVENT PLANS SO FAR? He will be starting in the mines, plotting comment over here. He's overall bad-tempered but can grit his teeth and play nice for a while in the name of survival, which is exactly what he'll be doing during his stay at the House of Dew -- though having large parts of the brothel steer clear of him due to his semi-armored dress will suit him just fine. Oddly enough he's quite good at sewing/mending and cleaning, so since his other major skills are dark sorcery and killing people in very inventive ways, he'll probably be leaning on the first two quite a bit to support himself in the city...as well as simply taking what he needs, in small amounts, whenever a safe opportunity presents itself. His main concern will be simply surviving and gathering resources to get the hell out of here, and he'll be willing to help others do the same if they seem like useful allies or just very in need.
ANYTHING YOUR CHARACTER URGENTLY NEEDS FIGURED OUT IN SA-HARETH? He will be trying to pick up the local language(s) as fast as possible because the translation tech here sucks and none of these fuckers speak Basic or Huttese, what kind of far Outer Rim backwater is this man????
