Character Information:

Character Name: Darth Maul
Age: 22
Canon: Star Wars

Appearance:

Darth Maul is an average sized Zabrak covered in red and black ritualistic Dathomirian Nightbrother tattoos. To say his appearance is fearsome is a vast understatement and his intimidating look is only enhanced by his glowing yellow eyes and the horns crowning his head.


Personality:

Darth Maul is a shining example of a single-minded Sith Lord. He lives to serve his master and destroy the Jedi Order. He’s been trained to do this since he was a baby and knows nothing else. He’s not exactly the brightest bulb on the tree but he’s not unintelligent… he’s just very trusting of his Master and only his Master.

 For the most part Maul is a well oiled killing machine. In terms of physicality he’s astounding and that’s because of the utter dedication to his craft. Maul does not fail. It’s as simple as that. No matter how long it takes, how much pain he’s put through or how difficult an assignment is Maul will accomplish it or die trying. Or he’ll just fall down a bottomless shaft and show you his impersonation of reverse osmosis.

 Further establishing Maul as a blunt instrument is the fact that he is quite literally fearless. He’s fearless to a fault actually. Because of this Maul considers Fear his ally. Rather than having fear himself he instills it in others, feeding on it as a way of pulling on the Force. This fearlessness also means he’s extremely arrogant. He always seeks to prove himself against another combatant. He strives to be the best in a very possessive way. To him it’s not about being a skilled combatant. It’s about being unbeatable. It’s about showing everyone, his master included, that no one compares to him. No one measures up.

 On a lighter note Maul is actually a very curious young man. He’s been trained to be a killing machine and he understands that but he still wonders why he’s only been trained for battle. Why is he killing these people? How does this further the Sith Initiative? He’s not questioning it morally. He just wants to understand. More than anything he wants to know how things work. What makes the universe tick? How can he have a bigger effect? 

Background:

Wookieepedia: Darth Maul 

Canon point:

Maul will be coming in just prior to his assignment during The Phantom Menace. I'm choosing this canon point simply because if I chose a later one playing him would be considerably restricted by his being assigned to kill Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi.

He also has legs at this canon point. /thumbs up.

Special Abilities:

Maul is a fairly gifted individual when it comes to using the Force. He specializes in physical combat and can draw heavily on the Force to enhance is physical prowess. He's mastered multiple forms of combat including various lightsaber forms and teras kasi. He also has a very impressive pain threshold when you consider he just shook off a Force Lightning attack while fighting a Nightsister.

Sect:

Sith

Job:

Sith Lord 


Samples:

First Person:

[Darth Mauls stands up straight, nearly at attention, as he transmits the holo message to his master. His hood is pulled up, hiding his horns and casting a shadow over all but his glowing eyes.]

I apologize for the lateness of this transmission my master. I was... The Jedi have escaped Tatooine with the Queen. I attempted to intercept them but the Jedi have proven to be more elusive than we... I anticipated. Do you wish for my return or shall I pursue the Jedi further?

[He bows deeply out of respect and shame.]

I await your order, my master.

Third Person:

Standing atop a skyscraper Maul looked out at the setting sun of Coruscant. The powerful winds ruffling his robes seemed not to bother him, nor did the lanes of speeding traffic below. No, instead what bothered him was the fact he was just standing here. He wanted to get out, to move. It befuddled him to think his master thought him incapable of simple missions.

He clenched his fist, the sole wound he had suffered in his battle against Black Sun still burning. It was a phantom pain of course. The wound had been healed shortly enough after the ordeal. It still felt like a failure however and that only drove the young Zabrak to become angrier. He growled through his filed teeth at the thought of drowning that pathetic excuse of a force-user.

Not long after Maul felt the familiar caress of his master in the Force. Dropping down off the edge of the building, he caught the edge of a windowsill and pulled himself in. His master would not like waiting for him to take the turbolift down to where he could stand on a holopad. He mustn't be kept waiting.

"At last," he said softly and to himself as he made his way to the comm room.
