I am building a Rogue Jedi/Starkiller type of cosplay (or costume, whatever you would like it to be called). I am putting this together for a Comic con in Portland, Oregon that's in September called the Rose City Comic Con. It will also be used at a cancer awareness event which will be Star Wars themed, in which two friends and myself will be choreographing a saber battle to perform on stage in attempt to help raise money. The name for the character will be Trayc (pronounced trace) Sortok. Basically made up from mixing up letters from my name lol The story behind my character will be this...
Fallen to the Dark side at a young age, he was a trained by Maul while Maul was an apprentice to Sidious. He was sent to attack young padawan at the Jedi training facility at night while all were asleep. Trayc showed eagerness to complete the mission. He had felt honored to receive a mission at such a young age. He left that night to complete the missions. Trayc infiltrated the facility with no problems. Once in the room filled with future Jedi, he ignited his saber. The room filled with a blood red color and deep, dark hum of his saber. He approached one young padawan who was fast asleep. He raised his saber above his head to strike the first one down. Just as he was about to unleash a ferocious strike, the padawan's eyes opened. Trayc looked into his eyes as they the begin to fill with fear. The child's eyes then began to fill with tears. Something had struck Trayc while staring into the young padawan's eyes. Why was he doing this? Why strike someone down that was so innocent? Trayc powered down his saber, apologized to the padawan and fled out of the facility. He arrived back to report to Maul and Sidious. He had brought the news that he did not complete his mission. Filled with anger and hatred, Sidious wasted no time in force shocking Trayc for agonizing minutes. Thought to be dead, Sidious ordered Maul to dispose of the body. Maul lifted Trayc up with the force and threw him through a window where the body rolled down into a ravine. Trayc though was not dead. He awoke in a small stream with his body filled in pain.
Obi Wan had been out on a mission to pick up some items from a local shop for his speeder when he ran across the body of the young boy. They made eye contact which revealed white eyes due to the force shock from Sidious, and Trayc fell out of consciousness again. Obi Wan brought the boy back to the Council where they discovered he had a high metachlorian count. Years later and fully recovered, Trayc had made it through the Jedi trials and was asked to be somewhat of a spy. A Jedi to be sent on special stealth missions.
Thats about it for now. But back to the costume lol Here is what I have so far!
I plan on getting white contacts, some foam for a shoulder pad, a gray shirt with some tears placed in it, gloves to go over the arm wraps and some black pants to complete this build! I also think I will be ordering a V3 Dark Liberator in AB. The Dark Liberator would be good for stealth type missions since it is black and not very flashy so it couldn't be seen easily in the shadows. I am very excited to complete this!
