Overall Appearance: Dessel is a mountain of muscle due to growing up on the mining world of Apatros, from a very early age he was working on a hydraulic jack in the mines which turned a scrawny boy into a force to be reckoned with in only a short matter of years. It's not known whether Dessel is naturally bald or whether its an effect of the poor air filters in the mines but nonetheless he is quite an imposing figure. He walks with the confidence granted to him by his time as a soldier in the Gloom Walkers and even more so as the Dark Lord of the Sith from his time. He chooses to wear loose fitting black robes, leather armor and heavy black boots unless needed to dress differently.
PERSONALITY
Bane is an intelligent man, as a child he learned to analyze the other miners in order to know when it was smart to fight and when to back down. This helped serve him later in life as a soldier and as a Sith, he was able to determine how best to engage his enemies, though there were some occasions where he misjudged his opponents, but his intellect has only increased as he’s matured. He also has extreme inner strength due to the abuse he suffered at the hands of his father, constant beatings not only made Bane’s body strong but it also helped his mind distance itself from pain until he was able to endure savage beatings and broken ribs without even making a sound. Bane is a forward thinker as evidenced by his formation of the Rule of Two, the belief that there should only be one Sith master and One apprenctice, Bane had seen that the Sith Order had constantly been destroyed from the inside by rivalries and internal squabbling when they should be concentrating on defeating the Jedi. In order to strengthen the Sith he felt all the power of the Dark side should be concentrated into only two individuals.
BACKGROUND
Planet Origin: Apatros
Starting Planet: Ruusan.
Era Origin: Old Republic.
History: Darth Bane, born under the name of Dessel, was the Sith'ari and the Dark Lord of the Sith responsible for creating the Rule of Two. Born in 1026 BBY, he was raised as a poor miner on the Outer Rim planet Apatros. After killing a Galactic Republic ensign in a fight in 1003 BBY, Dessel was in danger of being arrested and imprisoned by the Republic. With the help of his friend Groshik, he escaped off-world to join the Sith Brotherhood of Darkness. Initially serving as a foot soldier in the Gloom Walkers unit, he was recognized as a Force-sensitive, and taken to the Sith Academy on Korriban. Bane, as he had been christened, quickly became one of the best students at the Academy before he lost his faith in the dark side of the Force. Though Bane was able to regain his confidence in the dark side, he lost his trust in the Brotherhood of Darkness, believing it to be a flawed organization whose leader, Skere Kaan, was a coward and a fool. Deserting the order, he went to the planet Lehon and studied the holocron of Darth Revan, and, armed with new knowledge, helped destroy the Brotherhood, allowing him to create his own Sith Order. He then instituted a Rule of Two, which stated that there could be only two Sith to avoid the infighting that had plagued the Sith for millennia. He also took both the title of Darth and an apprentice named Darth Zannah.
In 990 BBY, ten years after the destruction of the Brotherhood, Bane sought to learn how to create a holocron, through which he would pass down his knowledge to future Sith Lords. The Sith journeyed to the Deep Core world of Tython to locate the Sith holocron of the ancient Dark Lord Belia Darzu. However, while Bane was on Tython, the Jedi Order learned of his existence, and sent a group of Jedi to kill him and his apprentice. Once the Jedi arrived, they confronted the two Sith in Darzu's fortress. Though outnumbered, the Sith were able to defeat the Jedi; however, Bane was grievously injured. Zannah took him to Ambria, where she convinced the healer Caleb to help them. Caleb notified the Jedi Council, only to have Zannah use her powers to drive Caleb's assistant Darovit insane. Zannah killed Caleb, then hid herself and Bane. When the Jedi arrived, they killed Darovit, believing him to be the Sith Lord. Thus, the Sith were believed destroyed.
A decade later, Bane began to worry that his apprentice was too weak to overthrow him and assume the mantle of Dark Lord of the Sith, as was necessary under the Rule of Two. He began to research the secrets to prolonging his life by transferring his essence to another body, and traveled to Prakith, where he claimed the holocron of the ancient Darth Andeddu. After returning from Prakith, Bane was ambushed by a team of assassins hired by Caleb's daughter, Serra, and was captured. Taken to Doan, Bane was imprisoned and interrogated, only to covertly gain his freedom soon afterward. Encountering Zannah on Doan, Bane dueled his apprentice, who sought to become the new Dark Lord. The fight ended in a draw, with Bane escaping and heading to Ambria with Darth Cognus, an Iktotchi assassin skilled in use of the dark side whom Bane planned to take as his apprentice if Zannah proved herself weak and unworthy. There, Bane and Zannah engaged in a fateful duel that resulted in the death of the Sith'ari and Zannah claiming the title of Dark Lord. Nearly a millennium later, Bane's Sith Order defeated the Jedi Order and overthrew the Republic.
After the Destruction of the Brotherhood Of Darkness Bane is pulled through the force to the current time
ABILITIES AND EQUIPMENT
Strengths/Skills: A magnificent Lightsaber duelist, he defeated his teacher and the Sith Blade Master, Kasiim, when they dueled on Lehon. Bane is a master strategist and fighter, he's able to plan ahead and ensure that he stands the best chance of winning a fight before he even enters one. He's also proven to be skilled at resisting interrogations and torture as evidenced by his ability to keep himself alive through sheer will power and the force after being poisoned multiple times and resisting the truth serums administered to him.
Weaknesses: By his own admission Revan has no skill with Sith Alchemy or other mystical type arts, his talents lie more in focusing the force into raw power. His over confidence has at times led him to make mistakes but he has never made the same mistake twice.
Weapons/Equipment: does not use blasters or vibroblades unless necessary
FORCE USERS
Force Affiliation: Dark
Lightsaber Description: Bane has a single blade, red lightsaber, it would appear to be a conventional saber except for the slight curve in the hilt which puts his attacks at an awkward angle for anyone unfamiliar with the weapon, this has proven to be a great advantage along with bane's raw skill.
Combat Styles: Bane was initially taught the basics of the seven forms when he trained at the Sith academy but his Blade Master, Kassiim, selected styles for each student to focus on based upon their talents. For Bane he taught him to use Djem-So for offense due to his size and strength and then for defense to switch to Soresu for an impenetrable defense.
Force Powers: Bane has very few unique force powers but his sheer strength in the force allows his traditional Dark Side powers to be far more powerful than most other Sith of his day.
Many Sith were able to use force Lightning but Bane can effortlessly create lightning storms with the raw force energy from his hands. (Later on in life he learned the essence transfer and obtained Orbalisk Armor but since that would make him incredibly overpowered I'll do younger Bane).
