Facadma - Force Vampire

From my ongoing Star Wars fanfic, Paranormalities. gahmahraan.deviantart.com/art/… Specifically, from Episode II - Chapter 14.

And the last Archfiend now has her own character profile.

As for Chapter 15 of Paranormalities: Episode II, it's in progress.  I'm increasing Episode II by one chapter so I can develop the Valkoran a little more. After that, we'll be getting into the Battle of Ockla Prime.

Now the profile.


Subject: Facadma

Homeworld: Unknown (Summoning site: Chilades)
Species: Unknown (with mutations)
Gender: Female (self-reproducing)
Affiliation: Forceless Collective

Abilities: Facadma is not a natural Force user. Instead, her abilities are powered by the living Force, similar to magic used by the Nightsisters of Dathomir. However, this comes at the cost of the user's body, so instead, Facadma stockpiles the living Force by harvesting it from living beings to not only power her abilities, but nourish herself as well. If she possesses a natural Force user, she can harvest it on a planetary scale, even selecting specific targets.

However, combined with Forceless symbiosis, this has altered her anatomy. Her mouth and digestive system have atrophied from over use of feeding on the living Force, and these mutations carry over to her quickly-birthed offspring. Her larvae don't have the ability to feed on the Force at birth (but Forceless symbiotes can be reproduced through hosts), and end up living one-hour lifespans while Facadma herself is nigh-immortal. If her body grows too weak and she has too much of the living Force stockpiled, it will slowly rip her apart from the inside.

Personality: As Valkor's highest-ranking Archfiend, she is also one of the cruelest. She doesn't only feed on the living Force to sustain and power herself; she also relishes it, and the living Force she stockpiles is sentient and stays trapped inside her until used. During the millennia she spent possessing the Chiss Jedi Ze'emilin'asana (Emilin), she physically and psychologically tormented her while she was consciously aware of the possession, not unlike typical Forceless symbiosis. Unlike her rival, Belluzub (another Force-sensitive Archfiend at her rank), she doesn't allow her sadism to overshadow her decision-making, but while she thinks it would benefit the Collective to get rid of him, Valkor doesn't tolerate in-fighting among them. And because her children live really short lifespans (and are born from eggs), she doesn't feel the need to care for them and uses them mostly as expendable attack drones.

Origins: What species Facadma is isn't exactly clear, and one of her most curious biological traits is the Forceless eye crystal that serves as her brain and her really hollow skull. She is only known as a Force Vampire.

Facadma is the oldest currently living Archfiend in the Forceless Collective, and she was one of the first (along with Xixixix) to be summoned during the during the reign of the Infinite Empire. As soon as she was summoned, she devoured the living Force of the Rakata priests who summoned her. This prompted the Rakata to abandon Chilades and strand her there for several millennia to feed on the planet's populace (albeit sparingly), made the Rakata suspicious of Emperor Valkor's intentions, betray him and seal him on Ockla Prime, and abort all in-progress Archfiend summoning rituals.

After the formation of the Valkoran Empire and Valkor's release, Facadma was retrieved from Chilades and her presence kept secret from the rest of the Empire. After she was caught snooping and figured out Valkor's true plans for the galaxy, Masochus captured Emilin and Valkor had her possessed by Facadma as a means of "making her disappear" without turning her into a martyr.
