[IC] Khali's Diary

#1
((originally posted by Khali))


[Font=Bookman Old Style]Diary


[Font=Bookman Old Style] Entry One: Arrival

Sat down by a wall behind her was a small humanoid girl, with her hair tied in a neat ponytail and oceanic blue eyes. Her skin was rather dark, and her lips were the same, although it didn't appear to be the result of any cosmetics. The familiar robes of an Acolyte could be seen on her petite frame, hunched over as her arms carefully wrapped around her legs, boots removed, and toes with sharp almost claw-like nails scrunched up in the dirt surrounding a nearby tree. During the entirety of the recording, she never once looked directly at the camera.

The winds passing within the streets of the warzone cityscape could be heard, picked up by the camera. Trash fluttering in the wind, distant gunfire and the sound of metal creaking in its overall destruction...

Spoiler: Ambiance
[Font=Bookman Old Style]She was a rather fair girl, pretty in an almost exotic way. Something about her wasn't exactly as humane as her surroundings continued to call her. Her eyes spoke a million words, the eyes of someone who'd gone through a lot, in her life. Although here, at the very bottom of the Acolyte pool.. one could imagine such eyes were all too common...

Finally, her voice spoke up

[indent][Font=Bookman Old Style]Acolyte Khali... Entry One. My Arrival.[/indent]

[Font=Bookman Old Style]Her torso raised in a sigh, and her hands disappeared from view. The girl quickly adjusting the camera into a straighter position. Her blue pupils grew in their ever-curious nature, although the excitement she always had was inexistent before the camera

[indent][Font=Bookman Old Style]Hello future me. Or whoever is torturing themselves with watching this. This is pretty embarrassing, so if you've come to discover my deepest darkest secrets... Congratulations. You've come to the right place. Although I don't have much to hide. All it takes is for you to ask. Welcome to my diary. I decided it would be a good idea to keep track of my progress. Perhaps it would ease in the fact that, woah.. shocker. I will have changed in a few years. If I haven't? Then I suppose you've come to sulk and look at how much you've stagnated. Tic Toc. Stagnation means failure. You, I, will be dead soon. Change, for our sake...[/indent]

[Font=Bookman Old Style]A small breath of exasperation with herself could be heard, her eyes closing briefly until a hand ran through her hair and brought a few strands behind her ear. Although ultimately, she undid her ponytail and allowed her hair to fall freely onto her shoulders for once.

[indent][Font=Bookman Old Style]Two days in and for me, a lot has already happened. Even if to the sith that trained us today... I was most likely the worst. Let's start by day one, shall we? Even if it was.. short. I was called down to the planet...Vax. As he later told me to call him. I don't believe he was particularly interested in me. Which is a good..thing, considering the past. I believe he liked my attitude but warned me that it might get me killed. I've decided to tone down on it today, although it doesn't seem to have changed much. Apparently, I remind him of someone? That's.. a scary thought. I hope nobody here knows about whats occurred back home. I'd rather not have to deal with the backlash of that anymore... It was all solved in the past. That was really... After our conversation, I found a bed to stay in. Although much like back home, I didn't stay in it long. I decided to walk around, carefully making sure I didn't step out of our allowed areas.. and found a little peace and quiet. I didn't want to sleep on the metal grounds... So I found a dirted area around a few trees... It'll do nicely for now.[/indent]

[Font=Bookman Old Style]The girl mentioned downwards, where a brief yet subtle smile appeared on her lips. It didn't last very long, although the expression that replaced it could not quite be defined as sadness. Just.. some kind of focus, into the unknown she so often stared at.

[indent][Font=Bookman Old Style]Today was my first lesson. I was called human a total of eleven times. My records clearly state I am not... perhaps it'd be best I inform them? No.. Correcting them would result in punishment. And perhaps their discovered will result in in..further, punishment. I believe it's best they find out on their own. I will neither deny nor accept the fact. Nor will I ever lie about it. We learned about Shii-Cho. The first form. The way of the Sarlacc! Or so they call it. It was exciting... I let the excitement get to my head. I lost focus, and my blade was removed from my hands. My... was that man a hulking beast! I hope he becomes a Sith. It'll be amazing to see what he can do for the Empire. I imagine they'll sing countless stories about the unmoveable brute... One day. I wonder if they'll tell stories about me too? Other than... Nevermind. I learned a new stance... Copied it off of Almir. He's a nice guy, or so it seems. I was also surrounded by a few other Acolytes. I listened in for their names. Atleast.. a few of them. The Sith that trained us only really ever named the purebloods. and so... I know... Ruthut. And Nyrithe. Aswell as Almir! The Echani. I got a few answers wrong.. But she soon corrected me. I've noted her answers down so I don't forget again. I haven't been punished for anything here... And I believe I'm doing an okay job. Although if I have distinguished myself in anything, it's at being bottom rank. The worst answers... Immediately lost the fight. I have.. a lot to learn.[/indent]

[Font=Bookman Old Style]She dreamily looks towards nothing in particular above her, entranced by the very idea of getting better... A click of the tongue followed suit, her eyes snapping back near the lens with purpose. Intrigue and questioning were clear in her orbs, the words that continued only served to confirm it.

[indent][Font=Bookman Old Style]You know, it's a little hard to improve when you lack a goal. All those nights spent gazing at the stars... Hoping I'd one day get the chance to become something useful. That was my dream. That was my wish. But what now? What do I do? What will drive me? A farmer's life just won't due anymore... And hunting animals for dad won't serve me any use here... Hunting Jedi isn't the same, even if Vax seems to like the idea so much. Maybe I can become some kind of scientist.. Give my knowledge of animals to the world! It takes one to know one, right?[/indent]

[Font=Bookman Old Style]She'd very nervously giggle...

[indent][Font=Bookman Old Style]But those are the childish dreams of the little hunter girl I used to be. While I may, now, be something lesser. I've been given the chance of knowledge, and tutelage, to rise and take whatever I can. Only my faults will be the cause of my end. These trials will certainly push me to my limits, and make sure to crack open every weakness I present it. The war has no time for foolish dreams. The Empire does not need naive beliefs... The mistakes of today will be erased, and tomorrow I will awake stronger. I'm certain I have not made myself an enemy of anyone in this powerbase. I have no desire to create disdain, and distrust between ourselves. We have one enemy to fight, and one enemy only. So if you've come here, in search of answers to use against me... Remind yourself that I'm here to fight the republic, not you. I'll do everything in my power to make sure each and every member of that faction suffers as the Empire crushes them under their boot. The anger and pain they've caused me will be used to fuel the force within me. I suppose I can understand Vax's eagerness to fight the Jedi.I can only hope revenge will be as sweet as it seems to be in my head.Until next time.[/indent]

[Font=Bookman Old Style]Bending over once more, her hand slowly came out of view, and the recording ended.

Ongoing Crisis
War in the Northern Territories


The Balance of Power in the Northern Territories!

"The Northern Territories shift under the weight of changing times. With the passage of the ICOT, internal strife amongst Imperial Forces in the North has lessened - though never abated. Although the momentum of the Republic has not yet been met entirely, fortification efforts and victorious naval campaigns have evened the footing at least slightly. Eyes align on systems such as Vykos, Nam'ta and Orsus to see how this proceeds.."



((OOC: The Balance of Power system has begun! Missions that relate to grand changes in the Northern Territories will have an impact on the balance of power shown above, with the end result being that the balance of power's state at the start of the next war arc will determine how strong the Republic will be in the area. The balance of power can be pushing in our favour with bigger scale events aimed at taking the Republic down or fortifying ourselves in the North. This can be achieved through Operations, Adventures and Guild Events. The blue represents the Republic, and the Empire is red! This is organised by the Guild Team, so please direct OOC questions to them.))
