Personality
Meredith is a broken individual. She’s a former Jedi General having served in the Clone Wars. She survived Order 66 and is now in constant pain, addicted to the pain killers her Hutt Cartel saviors used to keep her alive. She’s manic depressive and volatile, often being unpredictable. At the core Meredith is a Jedi still and wants to help people, but she’s beyond the point of jaded with the galaxy. She’s spent years running from Vader and his systematic execution of anyone accused of being Force Sensitive. She has a cybernetic left eye, but cannot see out of it as the procedure was done poorly. Meredith is in constant pain from old wounds inflicted during Order 66, but she manages with her addiction to various pain medication. Having been previously indebted to the Hutt Cartel, she met Obi Wan Kenobi on Tatooine and furthered her knowledge and the cause of the Rebellion before vanishing mysteriously.

Move Descriptions for Meredith Silvis
Double Bladed Lightsaber (600):
A custom built double bladed, yellow colored, lightsaber granted to Meredith by her former Master Shaak Ti on Ziost when she returned to the wreck she had ended up in during Order 66. The hilt is about a foot long, capable of producing two blades that extend about 4 feet each way. The blades act like any normal lightsaber would, capable of cutting through most objects with ease. When twisted apart the saber can be split into two separate blades and stored in breakaway section of the O2 tank on her armor.
Czerka Arms Heavy Blaster Pistol (300):
A mass production heavy blaster pistol produced by Czerka Arms. Deadly up to 180 feet away, this weapon fires heavy laser rounds that can punch through light armor. The pistol is powered by a Power Cell located in the hilt that can be exchanged on the fly with spares. Each power pack contains enough energy for about 15 shots before it needs to be replaced. They can be fired as fast or as slowly as the user wants. Mind you, excessive and repeated shots through multiple energy packs has an inherent risk in melting the barrel of the pistol.
History
Full Backstory - [spoiler]
Meredith was born in 45 BBY on Planet Corellia to Magnus and Liedel Silvis. The Silvis Family was one of a few diplomatic families on Corellia spanning back to the Old Republic. When the Galactic Republic was formed in 1032 BBY, Meredith’s ancestors were heavily invested in it’s success. Her family was loving and for the first few years of her life she lived the normal life of a young Corellian girl. Her father prided himself on teaching her the wisdom and lessons she would need to one day take his place as the head of the Silvis diplomatic seat. It wasn’t long after birth that her parents noticed traits in their young daughter expressed only once before in their lineage. Many generations prior there was a Silvis who had helped bring the Old Republic to victory in the Mandalorians along side Revan and Malak.
Jedi Master Tesharon Silvis. Meredith’s distant relative.
Master Teshara was a Consular and also an Executor of Revan for Republic forces. Meredith would float her various toys; her parents often finding their daughter in her room having tea parties suspended in the air. Of course when she would get excited and ask Mommy to see what she could do the whole thing would come tumbling down. Something the young Meredith would learn about in her formal years. While her father was disappointed that this meant he would not have his daughter succeed him, he was proud. Meredith was tutored by the best teacher her parents could afford until she turned 10. On that day, having previously been informed of what the Force was, Meredith and her parents went to Coronet Spaceport where they had charted a transport to Coruscant. Meeting them there was Master Shaak Ti with a group of younglings being taken to the Jedi Temple on Coruscant to be trained as well. With eyes filled with proud tears, Magnus and Liedel Silvis watched their daughter board the transport with the group.
This was going to be the last time they’d see their daughter.
Meredith spent the next two years going through rigorous basic youngling training. The young padawan to-be excelled at her teachings, but where she really shined was manipulating the force. She easily outshined her fellow students. Her favorite activity was the daily meditation session for her class, but even that came second to reading deep within the archives. On more than one occasion did Master Shaak Ti have to carry a young sleep Meredith from the library to her quarters, which she was almost never in. As Meredith was a student, her searches in the archives were monitored. While she was interested in proper saber form, she had already been enrolled in an Ataru class, and what truly interested her was the Force and these new people called the Jedi that had taken her from Corellia and were training her. Meredith missed her parents, but she had always wanted to go on an adventure like the ones she would have in her imagination. The year she turned 12 the pre-teen graduated and became a padawan, destined to be a Consular just like her ancestor whom she had been told about. Meredith was assigned to Master Shaak Ti due to their previous interactions in the library and the fact that Shaak Ti saw great potential in her new apprentice.
Two years prior Jedi Master Shaak Ti had been appointed to the Jedi Council and she was limited in what missions her and Meredith could do offworld as her day to day was managing affairs within the Temple. Ever the clever Togruta the senior Jedi found things for Meredith to do on Coruscant. With an entire planet rife with crime and trouble amidst a waning Republic the pair ventured all around the city planet solving various missions, ending crime regimes, and helping those in need. There were several missions over the next eight years that required Council Member Ti to be off world and each time Padawan Silvis learned something different. The pair focussed on Meredith’s connection with the force and sought to strengthen it as much as they could while further refining her mastery of the Ataru lightsaber form or Form IV.
Finally after 10 years of hard work Meredith was promoted to Jedi Knight in front of the Jedi Council in front of a very proud Master Shaak Ti. Unfortunately the tension in the Senate and in the Republic was worsening and Meredith was immediately dispatched offworld to handle certain missions requiring her tact. Everything begins to slide downhill with the dawn of 24 BBY and the end of Palpatine’s second term. With the Separatist Crisis reaching it’s peak, Knight Silvis approached her former Master and asked what she could do to help and was told that the best possible action was to further her knowledge and to spend some time in the Temple reflecting on everything she had learned for she feared that war was coming. Shaak Ti’s fear would be realized in 22 BY when Meredith was conscripted as General in the Clone Wars and deployed to backup the Jedi Forces on Geonosis.
The Clone Wars were hell. General Silvis partook in many of the major battles, deploying with the 101st Legion all across the battlefield. After a close call after the Battle of Kamino well into the second year of the war, Meredith was ordered to return to Corellia and take a short reprieve from the front line. She was to organize an orbital defense with the 29th Legion with which upon completion she would return to the 101st and participate in the Skirmish on Naboo, defending the Gungans against Grievous’ forces. She fought alongside General Skywalker for a brief moment before he was captured. Corellia is where she fell in love and went against everything she had been taught, but the war had reached the planet and her parents had died. Grief ridden she fell to passion and into the arms of an ARC Trooper she had taken a liking to that had been stationed with her forces.
With the the Naboo Skirmish over in 20 BBY, General Silvis and her 101st Legion bounced back and forth wherever they were needed, supporting columns of Clone Troopers that were spearheading invasions or defenses. The end of the war took a serious toll on Meredith. She had skirted with the dark side several times, but had managed to pull out of her tailspin at the last second. The 101st Legion took heavy losses during the Battle of Coruscant, something the burgeoning Jedi was not very good at handling. Her tipping point came on the day the Jedi Purge started while on Kashyyyk. When Order 66 came through Meredith with the Clone Officer she had fallen for, her person guards, and bunch of wookie soldiers. The 101st had been dispatched to help assist with cleanup after the battle.
When the order came in the clones massacred the wookie soldiers and attacked Meredith. They slashed out her left eye and peppered her torso with blaster fire before the clone she had gotten involved with killed them. If anyone was going to kill her, he would. Being an Alpha Class ARC Trooper he loved her, but he was compelled to kill her. Crippled and without her lightsaber, as it had been blasted in half, the two fought. With Meredith pinned to the floor, her eyes filled with tears, she fought back the knife ARC 55 was trying to plunge into her heart. In a desperate move she diverted the blade causing it to sink deeply into her shoulder, enough to break her shoulder blade, and with a cry of sorrow and pain she gripped her lover by the throat, draining the life from him through the force. Almost immediately she felt a surge of energy and an echo of hideous laughter. A sick taste came over her mouth as she pushed the dead trooper off her body. With determination to remain alive she couldn’t control herself and unleashed a force wave that buckled the very building she was in. Before long her anger was replaced with calm, and then guilt. With this came the immediate and immense shock of pain from the injuries she had sustained. With her left hand covering her bloodied face she hobbled to a transport amongst the chaos and escaped off world. As soon as the ship exited atmosphere she blacked out.
Meredith woke up six months later inside the transport she had stolen with the urging of her former Masters’ force ghost. The Knight had managed to safely land on Ziost before entering a hibernative state. Her body was covered with dry blood and the odor inside the cockpit was unbearable.Though her trance had spared her life, she still needed medical attention. Fortunately she managed to find a crew of salvagers who had spotted her ship. In exchange for keeping it for scrap they gave the wounded Meredith a lift off the planet to Nar Shaddaa where she was rushed to a medical center controlled by Azgrom the Hutt. The doctors repaired the damage to her left shoulder, removed her ruined eye, and patched up the blaster burns. Somehow she was in more pain than when she went under the knife, but there was nothing the 27 year old Knight could do about it now. After a few months of recovery and Meredith was still in tremendous pain. Truth be told the doctors had done a mediocre job at fixing her up. While they had returned complete motor function to her arm, the nerve damage was extensive and they hadn’t bothered repairing it.
This started a very tenuous relationship with Azgrom the Hutt. For Meredith could not pay her medical bills which created an opportunity for the crime lord to gain a new employee of indiscernible talent. Over time the Knight slowly learned the fate of Coruscant, The Jedi Temple, the Purge, and the state of affairs in the galaxy. With the knowledge at hand Meredith felt it was prudent to remain hidden and to adapt a new lifestyle in order to blend.
For 9 years following her recovery on Nar Shaddaa, Meredith Silvis became known as Viper, a Bounty Hunter renowned for her use of heavy tranquilizing poison and how fast she could strike before her target knew what she had done. Going into immense debt with her Hutt employer the undercover Jedi Knight acquired a Kuat Systems Engineering Firespray, a Droideka Destroyer Droid, and classified her old identity as Killed in Action. The unknown contact who managed her records alteration even doctored photographs of her corpse, as if he was familiar with her plight.
Meredith “Viper” Silvis was good at what she did, but you could hardly describe her as doing well. She had become heavily reliant on pain suppressants for her war injuries which had left serious scarring on the left side of her torso and waist, had adopted a patch to cover up her left eye socket, and developed a sort of manic depressive tendency due to the Jedi Purge and the state of the affairs she was in. She began employing the honey pot technique to certain bounties in order to catch her mark off guard to make administering poison that much easier.
After 10 years of being a bounty hunter in 9 BBY, the 36 year old Meredith sought out Telbya, because she needed more capital than her previous contact, Azgrom, was going to let her have. He put her to the test and she passed, so to keep his promise he bought out her debt with Azgrom and granted her the funds she needed, making her indentured once again. Upon questioning the Hutt’s decision he simply stated that “he would absolutely invest in someone with which he had spent such a large sum credits altering her war records.” Telbya had been the one to change her status to Killed In Action. Telbya liked Meredith because he could actually employ her Bounty Hunting skill to repay her immense debt and get some work done. Regardless of the fact that she now worked for a completely different Hutt, she was under the radar and Telbya wasn’t shy about keeping the supply of pain medication coming so she had nothing to complain about. It was a life she could sustain. Which is all she could ask for at this point.
