The Enigma

Caos's backstory is mostly the set Inquisitor story: descendant of Darth Kallig and born into slavery, taken to be an acolyte for his potential in the force. The Inquisitor storyline isn't changed much.

Caos's specific backstory details: He had a family back when he was still a slave, but by the time he was taken, it was just his mother he had left. Caos was 16 for the Prologue and Chapter 1 of the Inquisitor storyline and 18 by the time he was named Darth Occlus and given Thanaton's seat on the council and control over the Sphere of Ancient Knowledge. Despite overflowing with rage and the bullshitery from the ghosts, Caos tried to remain uncorrupted from most of the dark side's influence on the force. While loyal to the empire and a sith of considerable power, he shows more restraint than his fellow Lords, showing patience, leniency, and occasionally mercy. He uses his seat on the dark council to try and change the sith internally, seeing the flaws of the old ways. He honestly understands where Malgus was coming from during the Illum arc, but he found his methods extreme and mad. Caos is often underestimated because of his age by the Empire, but the sith see him as a force to be reckoned with, someone who will balance on the edge of mercy and madness. In another life, he'd be a very off-putting jedi. But alas, he is an unpredictable sith lord. His reputation is less confusing for the republic and Jedi Order, as he is viewed as extremely dangerous, and potentially a wild card for both sides of the war, fearing whatever play he makes could be unknownly bad for both Republic and Empire. The jedi order sees him as an enigma and advise caution should any of their knights face him, the outcome of any conflict deemed too unpredictable.

To his companions, Caos is strange. It's like he has a mask he puts up when "on duty" as Darth Occlus. But alone, he is quiet, muttering about something or other usually about the force. He sometimes feels awkward, walking about the ship to check on the crew mainly by standing in a doorway staring, only talking when noticed. Khem Val(whom Caos chose to keep around instead of Zash) is probably the only one on the ship not put off by him, though it's not because of compassion, its probably because he's used to it. Caos teaches his apprentice Xalek awkwardly as well. It's unknown to the crew how old Xalek is, but the master and apprentice dynamic between Caos and Xalek feels like a child teaching an adult sometimes. Caos doesn't know the first thing about teaching, but he's doing his best. Xalek is learning just fine. Andronikos seems to think Caos might be mentally stunted or something due to the less than normal upbringing he had, though he won't say it out loud. No one outside the ship ever sees this side of Caos, as that mask returns the moment he steps off the ship.

Caos let go of all the ghosts he collected, though when he is muttering to himself, it is actually to his ancestor Darth Kallig, though its unclear if the spirit answers, and the crew believes the muttering to be about the force and not a family conversation.

Made this after, twas just too perfect

I thought about changing their makeup in each feh book. Book one would be a very simple look, yknow? Standard trad goth makeup. BUT moving onto book two, Víðarr starts changing their designs! I thought about a blue goth makeup for Nifl since book two is all about Nifl v Múspell. I'll add images at the end to show the makeup inspo I goth from Pintrest plus my horribly scribbled on notes on what inspo to take from each book. I specifically want to touch on book 5 with Niðavellir + Jötunheimr because that one was difficult to grab inspo for. I decided to go with a pretty sharp looking design, and I'll find a way to make it sorta resemble Fáfnir(it was spelled that way, right?), so book 5 might be an op when I start drawing all the makeups. The current book, book 10, is Ragnarok so I thought about just messing up their makeup instead of grabbing a new design. I mean- the order of heroes was literally thrown into this mess IMMEDIATELY by Rune and Alfaðör so doing a new makeup is gonna be rough, this is SO not the time to be doing more makeup 🙃

Anyways, here's my pintrest inspos plus my scribbled inspo notes :D
