Overseer Elma's assignments - The Art of Projection

#3
Assignment 1: The individual Sith 'Phenotype'
By Acolyte Ayla Varlo
ACCESS RULES: Accessable by Apprentices, Overseers and up.
How do I want to be seen by those outside of the powerbase or Sith order?
I've thought about this question long and hard before this assignment has arrived. My goals and desires have long been public, and I fear not the fact that they will be seen here, as such, I will answer as truthfully as I can. The answer highly depends on three things. Whether I'm speaking to an ally within the powerbase, a neutral figure outside it, or an enemy. My answer to this question will be devised into these sections.
The Ally
I want my allies outside of the powerbase to respect me. I do not want attraction, nor do I want fear. However I have always been a woman of my word, and as such, I hope that loyalty will transpire through my various acts. My desire to become a medical professional, or a scientist in general, has made it so that the credibility of my actions, is necessary.
People will not hire me if they do not trust in my projects, and my ability to efficiently see them through. Nor, will any Sith put their wounded selves in the care of a Sith they do not trust. However, one cannot expect me to perform them for free.
Through this respect, I hope to slowly rise, to shine through the limits placed upon me by my heritage, and surpass what little expectations those around me possess. I wish to prove my loyalty and respect for those of pure blood, and serve as one of my kind is meant to. Only once I have properly achieved this, may I be sent on the path I wish to take. The path of becoming a renowned scientist, for the powerbase to put to use, as well as to an individual based on efficiency and trust. Awe is what I must inspire, awe of my work, and the possibilities each project I will perform can bring. This anticipation for the future, and preparation in the present, is why I am still alive.

The Neutral
The core idea of how I want to be seen by those in general, outside of my allies, is that of mystery. A predictable scientist is one that can be worked to counter. One who reveals their tricks, and ideas, is one who soon becomes useless. Someone who is not innovative, and adapting, is one who falls behind.
Because of this, I want to be careful as to what I reveal about myself to the public. To potential allies, they must know enough to wish to know more, and to potential threats, they must remain too shrouded in the shadow that I become, to ever even consider becoming a proper enemy.
Attraction to my work, and respect for my past feats, and fear for what I may bring next.

The Enemy
I want those I consider my enemies to be fearful of what I am. I want them to be in utter awe of the feats I can bring, to make them afraid to even think about raising a finger against what I bring to the galaxy. I want them to be afraid of my efficiency, and my success rate. I want them to worry about what is to come, so much so that the panic subtly implanted within their minds causes them to mess up in their own endeavors when trying to counteract what I create.
This is ambitious, to say the least. Something that is nowhere near the case of what I am today. But my colder, and more calculating tendencies have begun to stand out amongst the other Acolytes. To me, this is the beginning of what I want.





How will I adjust my projection to be seen as such? (This includes behavior, mannerism, and apparel)

There are many things I need to accomplish, and I will go in the order stated above to properly address them each.

Behavior: My behavior at the moment is nothing short but unacceptable. I have been warned time and time again that my actions allow me to seem like I rely on others for my ascension and successes. This is a matter that I need to change, by beginning to clear my path away from those I consider my rivals.
I need to change my attitude when it comes to family. Alien heritage does not matter in the household, and I must remember who I truly serve. Thus, my behavior when it comes to dealing with individuals such as Almir, or Lord Varlo, must be changed. My actions become brash around them, and the thought behind my actions lower. If I want to be known for my constant efficiency, then I need to distance myself from them, as well.
Then, there is the issue of mental disorder. The moment I ascend, I must get the medication I was previously on. This should stop my behavioral outbursts from occurring, and tighten my consistency as a person.


Mannerism: This is one of the few things I believe myself to wish to keep. My mannerisms, how I walk, how I talk, have always provided some distance and kept my professional nature. This very professionalism is key to the jobs and relations I wish to make in the future, and I should take to looking at individuals such as Chasiny Quinton, or Sith Sarias to further my mimic and personalization.

Apparel: There is not much here other than the obvious. If I am to be known in the field of Biotic Science, or Technology, then I must sport the proper apparel for the job. Whether it be the lab coats and medical wear in the medbay, or generalized apparel, I have already considered this.
My attunement to the force slowly grows larger than that in martial combat, and because of this, I need to wear something that doesn't halt my movements in the case of an approaching enemy, yet continue to sport light gear as to not waste resources of the Empire, when I will most likely be on the back lines of combat, and not at the front taking heavy blows. A simple, robe fitting the sorceress archetypes would quickly give my nature away, and thus, I must consider something that leaves me ambiguous, when in the presence of an enemy.
Otherwise, making sure I am clean, and tidy, with a formal look and care to my appearance, will be necessary. As it should be with any sith. Otherwise, earning the respect of others will be difficult. Appearance is the first thing most judge others on, after all.




How will my 'phenotype' help the Horuset powerbase, and how can I link it to my desired specialization or role?

My phenotype, has been talked about and made obvious many times in person, and within this assignment. I want to be known for my knowledge, and adaptability when it comes to technology and science. As well as that, my actions in combat tend to rely on the force rather heavily.
Being the Knowledge over brawn, and force over martial archetype is what I am going for. I want to prove that even though we are sith, and rely on emotion to perform our duties, we are capable of making calculated decisions, befitting each situation. The only way to properly know how to react to each given situation is by knowing as much as we can. The only way I can advance, as a scientist, is by furthering my knowledge in my respective field.
Education and professionalism are necessary for this field of work, a field I have seemingly found neglected in the past, with the towering presence of more marital sith as of late.
Many may doubt my desire to be Sith, believing that my medical desires are selfless acts. However these actions are necessary, and my alien blood makes this job better in my hands. Not because I can perform, better than those of Sith blood, but because such a task, such a reliance on servitude to others, is the very thing that is expected of us Aliens.
I will serve to my last breath, in the medical field or any other, and ensure that my adamancy on being efficient results in the continued, and everlasting nature of the Horuset Sun. No Sith of Pureblood needs to rely on me, however what better way to serve than where I am most skillful?
How this issue is taken by others remains to be seen, but nonetheless, if it is shut down, I can put myself to use in other sections of these Spheres.
I wouldn't be as adaptable as I say I will be if I couldn't.

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.))
