Aletani the Dauntless Personal Cosplay (first ever)(4 pics)

[Master Venturous]

Tyvm! Master Venturous has been kind enough to make me some epic signatures from time to time.

It takes an epic costume to make an epic signature!

[OrtharRrith]

haha, no where near as awesome as your armored set up, but I appreciate the compliment!!!

Thanks, although I feel yours is just as awesome. Mine is a canon character - put at its most basic, I simply copied what was on screen. Yours on the other hand is original and required you to use your imagination, and you captured the essence of Sith perfectly. To that I offer my salute and congratulations on a job well done.

You flatter me. Thank you very much.

I always enjoy seeing the action pics you post. keep it up!

Also, I happen to be working on a Jedi cosplay ATM. I'm sure by the end of the summer I'll be able to post pics of it completed!

That should be quite the sight since you don't normally play towards the Jedi side.

[NovaSitori]

Wow, simply, wow! That costume is truly custom-made. That, and down right gorgeous. PLEASE tell me your character has some backround information.

[Aletani]

Thanks!

Aletani actually has a ton of background information. I have used her has my first and main RP character, so she's very well "fleshed out" you might say. Haha

[Darinus]

I know I've commented with praise before but I really do love this original character design.
Especially with backstory. It really gives a character... character.

Have you thought about a costuming club? I know 501st doesn't take "custom" characters but The Dark Alliance and Dark Empire are two that do.

[NovaSitori]

Intimidation comes in many forms. I've never been physically imposing, but I can be intimidating.

The costume is super cool, and you look like you're having a blast. Now you just need some Jedi to oppose you.

I'll oppose you. DO YOUR WORST SITH. *growls like a wolf*

Thanks! I agree, backstory is what truly defines a cosplay, even tho the cliche is that your past does not define you. Haha

I may post up a short back story snippet if you guys want me to.

I've wanted to join a group such as those, was really thinking about MMCC, still might eventually, but idk what is around SE Kansas. Haha. I'm not sure there are actually any big groups represented close by, but I haven't looked very hard. Life is busy ATM. Haha

I'll oppose you. DO YOUR WORST SITH. *growls like a wolf*

it should be more like: *whimpers like a sickla*

you could not withstand Aletani's guile and strength of will. Hehe ;P

As for the story snippet, go for it! I can't speak for everyone but I'd guess I'm not the only one interested.

As far as groups, doesn't hurt to join even if there's nothing in your immediate area. You may be pleasantly surprised or you could always recruit new people. Maybe others around have been apprehensive because there aren't others in the area?

Alright everyone! This post will have two parts: one will be my revised Aletani Bio and two I'd like to hear from you guys what kind of RP short you want from me.

Keep in mind this bio is a general estimation, ever being refined and expanded on in details.

Backstory:
(Old Republic Era, around 10 years after the Attack on Coruscant by Darth Malgus [very loose timeline estimation])
Growing up as a daughter of administrative slaves for a Hutt crime broker in the Undercity of Nar Shaddaa, she was very successful as a messenger between syndicates until she was in her late teens. Then Aletani was discovered to be adept in the manipulation of the Force by a chance encounter with a Sith head hunter, sold in a shady back room deal, and taken to Korriban. There she was trained rigorously to be weapon and shield against other Sith for a more politically minded one. Once she reached Dromund Kaas at the behest of her would-be master, the Council of Four Fleet had just begun an orbital stand-off with the Sith Empire’s fleet. Being taken aboard the CoF’s flagship and coerced into an apprenticeship, Aletani quickly realized the corruption and weakness in the current power structure.

The Council of Four craved a reform of the Empire, that all would actively build a better Empire. That Sith would turn from being controlled by emotions and petty squabbles to using their power with purpose and seeing those who serve them as contributing members of the Empire rather than inconsequential tools for their individual gain. While still embodying the Sith Code, the Council of Four’s radical ideals soon gained traction with members of Sith society and the oppressed and a turbulent civil war erupted.

Fully aligning herself with the Council of Four, Aletani trained and learned under one of the Council members as they slowly triumphed over the petty and stagnant false Sith and their dwindling supporters. Eventually she earned her place, known as Lady Kaori, in the upper echelons of the Sith under the Council after many years of war and finally decisive victory over the last of the false ones.

Having little patience for politics, preferring more aggressive tactics, Aletani became a harbinger of death and destruction to any who still opposed the Council and their will for the Empire: cooperation towards the betterment of the Empire rather than the individual. Strong and unabashed, Aletani learned from early on the benefits of using all of her talents against any opposition. Alongside the Sith Lords of the Council, the Sith Lady reveled in the Dark Side and furthered their crusade for a better galaxy with fervor.


PART TWO:

I'd like to hear from those interested:

What kind of RP short would you prefer (I'll either adapt one I've already written or write a new short story)

A. How she first came into contact with the Sith (Nar Shaddaa)?

B. How her specialized training on Korriban molded her into a hardened warrior (Competitive Elimination Environment)?

C. Maybe a solo mission? What kind of mission, where? etc.

D. Another scenario/event in her life you'd like to see played out?


Let me know what you guys think and I'll try and write an RP short.

Keep in mind life is busy, so it may take a couple weeks for me to get down something that meets my expectations for a short story. ^_^

[Darinus]

Excellent back story, well written and thought out.

Did you her have any missions against Jedi? Or a particular encounter with one trying to stop the Sith?
That would be my suggestion.

[Darth Scorpious]

1st off that is a beautiful peace of writing, love the detail that has gone in on it.

I like the idea of B going more in on her training

Although another event in her life would also be good maybe starting her own council of four or something along those lines can't wait to see what you come up with. I'm not in anyway a professional writer but l do enjoy helping if I can so if you need any I'll be glad to help  

[SpiritOfSakura]

Your cosplay is simply amazing; I love it! Point for you!
As for RP short...I like the sound of B, personally.
