You might remember that I submitted this a while back, but I looked back at it and I was unhappy with it. I took it and I touched up some parts such as his face, his vest, his coat and his left arm sleeve.

This is my Jedi character Turin, should he fall to the dark side. He abandoned his name and took up the title of Darth Zeram.

Ive decided to give Zeram a little backstory, because no one really knows how he became a Sith:

BACKSTORY:
Zeram was once named Turin Firsekuun, an exceptional Jedi Master that served the Republic before and during the Clone Wars. During the Clone Wars, Turin was returning with his partner Katari ([link]) to Coruscant after liberating the outer-rim planet of Ta'Mulira from seperatist control. However, while they were still in the outer rim, there was ambushed by a fleet of Trade Federation Cruisers. Turin and Katari's fleet was eradicated, and Turin and Katari barely escaped with their lives, and a few Clone Troopers. Theyre escape pod landed on an arrid volcanic planet, devoid of all life. With their communication systems down, Turin, Katari and the clones had no choice but to scout the planet for any sign of civilization.

After traveling for a distance, they came across some sort of ruin, with large pyramids on either side of the ruins. It occured to Turin that they had landed on Korriban, the Land of the Dark Lords, ancient burial sites of the Lords of the Sith.

The group stayed in the ruins for the several nights, surviving off of emergency rations. As they all tried to sleep, Turin was tormented with horrific dreams, as the spirits of the Sith sensed his presence, and fought over each other to convert him to the dark side. Restless and desperate, Turin roused Katari and the few Clone Troopers and marched into the tomb of Naga Sadow, an ancient powerful Sith Lord. He knew that the spirits that tormented him were emerging from that tomb, and he sought to vanquish them.

As they reached the heart of the tomb, Turin's nightmares were reaching him in the form of visions, further pushing him to madness. When they reached the center of Sadow's tomb, Turin encountered the spirit of Naga Sadow himself. Sadow saw that Turin was weak and frail from the reoccuring visions and nightmares. With seductive whispers of deciet, Sadow conviced Turin that Katari and the Clones had purposefully brought Turin to Korriban to kill him, believing that he was too weak of a Jedi. Enraged and betrayed, Turin turned on Katari and the Clones, unfortunately killing them all, including Katari, the woman he secretly loved.

Now turned to the dark side, TUrin emerged from the tomb to find a rescue unit, led by his brother Delari. When Delari asked him what had happened, Turin's soul struggled to come back to the light side, and he fell to his knees in front of Delari and wept over what he had done. When Sadow's spirit saw that Turin was rising to the light again, he possessed Turin, and drove him into a blind rage. Turin drew his saber and savagely murdered his brother and the rescue unit.

When Sadow left Turin's body, TUrin was devastated, and he drew his saber to commit suicide. However, Sadow' spirit, along with several other Sith spectres, convinced Turin to turn his grief and misery into rage and hate, which he did.

Turin knew he could never return to Coruscant. Before leaving on the rescue team's ship, Naga Sadow bestowed upon Turin the title of Darth Zeram, the Lord of Grief.

Thus was Darth Zeram born. And he wandered the planets of the Republic, with a heavy burden and a tortued soul.

Enjoy ^^

Eh, not a very interesting fall to the Dark Side. No real conflict of goals/emotions/ambitions. He just went crazy and then was possessed. It's rather boring when nothing actually transpired that made your character fall on his own.

Beautiful drawing. Great Character. Interesting touch with the exposed shoulders. Probably aids during combat.
