Asajj Ventres is a young woman who was born before the clone wars on the harsh planet of rattatak, where their people are known for being brutally, violent warriors who wage war on each others for centuries. After losing her parents to a rival war lord faction, she endured unimaginable hardships and her situation seemed hopeless in order to survive. Until a miracle landed in her lap. A jedi master by the name of Ky Narec who was sent to the planet on an diplomatic mission, but due to technical issues his ship crash landed there. The locals though him to be a mystical warlock and attacked him. Eventually their paths crossed and sensing she was a powerful force sensitive, he took her under his wing in the ways of the jedi.
As the years went on and Asajj grew older and more powerful, the two were a force to be reckoned with as they set about razing armies, settling wars and settling differences between rival warlords. A planet of peace seemed to loom over the horizon. The leftover warlords were not pleased with a united Rattatak and crafted a plot that led to Ky Narec's death. Watching her master die in her arms sent her into hysterical grief and an absolute fit of rage, which let her hate consumer her and the dark side of the force answer her call. With her army she united the planet by force and in her path of destruction and conquest, set about killing each and every warlord involved in the death of her master.
With 12 tattoos on her head signalling the death count of warlords she achieved vegeance upon, she set herself up as the sole ruler of the planet. Drawing the attention of Count Dooku, now Darth Tyrannus to the gladiator arena that the planet was known for, scouting for talent that can aid his nation. The confederacy of independent nations. The Count was not fooled by Ventress's force projection to mask her pressence, yet eager to impress the Sith Lord, she descended into the arena herself to demonstrate her skills. Taking up her and her fallen master's lightsaber, she boasted her claim to the mantle of sith, as she ripped and cut through opponents. The attempt made him laugh, furious she then attempted to engage the sith lord himself, only to be met with force lightning, knocking her out cold
She later woke up in an unfamiliar bed and immediately had to defend herself from the sith lord in a vicious duel in his home. Though the sith lord was victorious, Ventress had proven herself capable that day. As a token, he gifted her two curved hilt lightsabers and took her on as his primary dark jedi apprentice. She was provided in rudimentary training in the sith arts, classical forms of lightsaber combat and a specialization in form 2 Makashi. Psychological warfare and intimidation were also her methods of subverting her opponents, break the opponents composure with theatrical posturing and verbal taunts. Feint and ambush, confuse the opponents defenses with multi-pronged assaults and diversions, shock and surprise; change the rules of the engagement. Cycling through the various techniques in her arsenal. Subvert and overwhelm.
Though left with standing orders to eliminate Anakin Skywalker, notably engaging him on Yavin 4, it was instead Skywalker's master Obi-wan Kenobi that became the subject of her obsession. Leading to a sort of pesudo love hate relationship between the two.
It would be in her pursuit of Obi-wan she would run a foul of Anakin on Coruscant, discovering his secret marriage to Senator Padme Amidala. Anakin unleashed his rage an manhandled her with telekinesis, entangling her with electrified cables and dropping her into the Coruscant under levels. Apparently killing her.
She managed to survive and had to recover from her vast injuries on Bos Pity, until it was invaded by the Republic. During the battle Kenobi entered the facility, and was confronted by Dooku and Ventress. Dooku stepped aside as Ventress hurled herself at Kenobi, their duel took them out onto the battle field where Anakin joined in. However pursuing Kenobi had taken her to far from the evac point, and unwilling to allow her to be taken captive her ordered her gunned down. Ventress sold out Dooku by providing Obi-wan with intelligence on his plan. Then used a sith meditation technique to halt her bodily functions and fake her death. Her body was loaded on a medical shuttle for burial on coruscant, but she revived mid-flight and hijacked the ship. Her fate is now unknown.
Apologies if the description is long but I wanted to make sure that I gave the character proper description as she is one of my favorites from the legends continuity. I don't believe in that disney garbage nor would I use it to attempt to try put this character to paper. I hope this paints a clear enough picture or if more info is needed then I would be more than happy to give it. When I get the chance I'll be sure to put up something for Obi-wan Kenobi. Again, thank you so much for this undertaking.
P.S. Also wanted to know, is it possible to use the Conviction skill in place of Rapport for the purposes of chi-chat and first impressions trapping of said skill? I am asking because I was going through the stunts section and noted that Cat-burglar has it so where it took two trappings from the stealth skill and placed it under burglary. An when I was looking up the word conviction on goggle, I delved deeper and found that in the origin section, conviction is actually shown to be called convince in english.
