History:
Valin was born four years after the Battle of Yavin. He lived the majority of his life on or around Corellia. He was sixteen-years-old when the Galactic Civil War between the New Republic and Galactic Empire ended with the signing of the Pellaeon-Gavrisom Treaty. At the same age, Valin was found by Jedi Master Kyle Katarn in 19 ABY. Katarn saw an eager trainee with there was much potential to be great. Taking Valin as his third student, Katarn trained the young man into the ways of the Force.
For the next two years, Valin trained at the Jedi Praxeum on Yavin IV. From there, he joined the New Republic Navy for a while, joining up with an X-wing squadron known as Vibroblade Squadron, which took part in raids on pirate organizations and smugglers. After two years with Vibroblade Squadron, Valin retired from the New Republic Navy and continued upon his Jedi training.
During he stint back as a Jedi, Valin took part in the defense of the Jedi Academy against the Second Imperium and the Shadow Academy. When the Dark Jedi and Imperium troops took the battle to the Jedi Praxeum, Valin was there to help defend the place. It was there that he began the use of his newest lightsaber form: Vaapad, from which he had been learning from the old holocron that once belong to Jedi Master Mace Windu of the Old Jedi Order. The young man proved to be a powerful asset to the Jedi defense and afterwards, he earned to the right to wear the title of Jedi Knight. Valin would also come to participate in the actions against the Diversity Alliance and the reinvigorated Black Sun organization.
Valin Lobel's hardest point in life would be in 25 ABY to 30 ABY.
It would be the hardest thing for the galaxy to have yet faced.
The Yuuzhan Vong had come to The Galaxy, bent on taking it for their own. Extragalactic beings, they saw a galaxy full of abominations: machines, technology, droids. The Yuuzhan Vong were religious zealots that view technology and machinery as blasphemy to their religion and gods. Their own technological innovations were completely organic and living in nature, giving them a vast advantage. Additionally, they relished pain and suffering, deeply respecting it. They also strove to improve upon their physical bodies with organ graphing and this graphing was a status symbol amongst the race. Lastly, they existed outside the Force, confounding the Jedi when they first encountered the Yuuzhan Vong.
With the first invasion forces arrived, no one was prepared. The organic weapons of the Yuuzhan Vong had a severe advantage, decimating both the Jedi and New Republic. Valin could only listen in horror at first, as he heard that the planet of Sernpidal was destroyed when the Yuuzhan Vong brought down the planet's moon on the planet before many could be rescued. However, Chewbacca, loyal Wookiee friend to Han Solo and famous Republic hero, was kill. For a bit, it seemed the Vong were defeated - until the true invasion force arrived.
Valin mobilized himself, with his first battle with Jedi being at the Battle of Ithor. This horrible battle was an immense lost for the Republic. Valin fought against hordes of Chazrach, which were nothing more than expendable slave soldiers. When a trap was set, many Yuuzhan Vong were killed. Jedi Master Corran Horn arranged a bargain: He fought personally against Yuuzhan Vong commander Shedao Shai. In the bargain, if Horn won the Vong would leave Ithor. In the end, Master Horn did win the fight. However, the Yuuzhan Vong still destroyed Ithor, releasing a bacteria that destroyed the native planet life. When the Yuuzhan Vong grand cruiser crashed unto the planet, igniting the planet's atmosphere, setting fire to the entire planet. Master Horn was labeled 'The Man Who Killed Ithor' and the reputation of the New Jedi Order was stained.
The Jedi Knight then rejoined with the Vibroblade Squadron. He took part in the Battle of Dantoonie with Admiral Kre'fey's task force, in which he fought against the Yuuzhan Vong organic starships. It was a rough battle and half of Vibroblade Squadron was lost.
By the end of 25 ABY, the Battle of Fondor was fought and lost by the Republic with the firing of Centerpoint Station by Thracken Sal-Solo (Han Solo's cousin), three-quarters of the Hapan Fleet was destroyed along with half of the invading Vong fleet. Virboblade Squadron was finally decommissioned after this battle when only Valin and a young woman named Kalee Vique - two years Valin's younger and learning the ways of the Force from Valin - survived the battle. He took her as a Jedi apprentice and the two would travel along the galaxy doing what they could to help.
In 26 ABY, the planet Duro, which was being terraformed and clean up to house refugees, was conquered by the Yuuzhan Vong. Jacen Solo, eldest son of Han Solo and Leia Organa-Solo, defeated Warmaster Tsavong Lah. In the end, the Yuuzhan Vong basically placed a bounty on every Jedi life's, although Lah wanted Jacen the most. So long as people turned over Jedi... the Vong gave their 'promise' that the world or organization that handed them over would be spared.. In the same year, the Jedi Praxeum was attacked and destroyed at Yavin IV by the Yuuzhan Vong and their allies the Peace Brigade, beings who helped capture Jedi and corrupt planetary governments into allying themselves with the Vong. Towards, the end of the year Luke Skywalker and Mara Jade Skywalker had their first son: Ben Skywalker, named after Luke's first mentor Obi-Wan 'Ben' Kenobi.
In 27 ABY, Valin and Kalee was with Corran Horn and his wife Mirax on Corellia when they were attacked by a voxyn, an extremely deadly Yuuzhan Vong created creature that was able to hunt down Jedi. Anakin Solo led a 17 being strike team to Myrkr. Six of the Jedi were killed, including Anakin Solo, and two were MIA, including Jacen Solo who was captured by the Vong.
However, the greatest blow to the New Republic also came in 27 ABY.
Coruscant, the city planet that was considered the single most important planet in the galaxy and long served as the capital of most galactic governments, was attacked and taken by the Yuuzhan Vong. Valin was there, part of a new Vibroblade Squadron, in defense of the Republic. Over half the New Republic was present but it was not able to stop the Yuuzhan Vong's tens of thousands of ships. The many orbital defense platforms and the minefield planet in space around the planet were unable to prevent the Vong from getting down to the planet. The Yuuzhan Vong used refugee ships containing prisoners from earlier battles and refugees of the war to shield themselves. As they drew closer to the planet, the Vong plowed the ships into Coruscant's planetary defense shields, working to overload them. This tactic worked well, bringing down entire grids and causing surface shield generators to explode. Soon Coruscant's skyline was burning with crashing vessels trying to escape the planet and the plasma fire of Yuuzhan Vong warships from above. The Orbital Defense Headquarters, along with other orbital platforms, fell from the sky and crashed onto the planet. The Vong with massive legions of warriors, dropships, coralskippers, fire breather walkers, and slave soldiers invaded the planet. In utter desperation, Garm Bel Iblis, famous Republic General in control of the Republic First Fleet, fired upon the refugee vessels being used a shields, although other generals and admirals could not bring themselves to do so. Chief of State Borsk Fey'lya died in the battle but his death triggered a bomb in the Imperial Palace that killed 25,000 Yuuzhan Vong, countless ships, and destroyed part of the Palace and buildings surrounding it. The battle lasted several days with mostly slave soldiers doing the hard work for Vong, forcing Coruscant citizens who were unable to escape down into the depths of the planet's lower levels. The Vong also released a toxin that dissolve buildings and corpses.
Valin and Kalee were both on Coruscant, becoming trapped on the planet after trying to have civilians escape. For several months he lived on the dying Coruscant, called Yuuzhan'tar under Yuuzhan Vong. The planet needed vast amounts of food, water, and other things for the normal Coruscant to go on with a normal day. People began to starve off and die from lack of basic needs, the Yuuzhan Vong and their slaves hunting them down, and the general decay and destruction.
Both Valin and Kalee were eventually captured by the Yuuzhan Vong and shipped off planet. Both underwent torture and eventually the young Jedi apprentice Kalee was poisoned and started to die an incredibly slow and painful death. Valin finally broke - but not in the way the Yuuzhan Vong wished it. Instead, Valin embraced his dark emotions and used the power of the Dark Side of the Force to bring about the death of the Yuuzhan Vong until finally getting his lightsaber back. However, he did lose his left arm from the elbow down from an amphistaff slice. It was a futile effort by the Yuuzhan Vong, however. Each and every one them was killed on their ship, save for a Shamed One who formerly piloted ships before his organic implants started to die, which in Yuuzhan Vong culture saw a Vong as one denied by the gods and thus shamed.
This Shamed One brought Valin and the dying Kalee to the world of Telos IV, where he slew the pilot and was rescued from the Vong ship - which was promptly destroyed afterwards. Kalee was in and out of consciousness for a week, slowing succumbing to the poison - despite Valin's desperate attempts to save her. The young man was also fitted with a sturdy and well-crafted prosthetic replacement arm.
In Kalee's last moments she and Valin expressed their love for one another and shared a final, parting kiss. With that, Kalee died and became one with the Force.
Valin went mad with grief and sorrow. The young Jedi vowed to exact revenge on the Yuuzhan Vong. He vowed he would slaughter every man, woman, and child that he could. And he made good on that promise. Valin traveled from world to world, battle to battle, killing as many Yuuzhan Vong he could get his hands upon.
However, it only made him feel emptier inside. And one day, Kalee visited him in a vision through the Force. In it, she asked Valin to stop blaming himself for what had happened, that he had done all he could to save her. She again admitted her love for him and begged to come back to the Light Side of the Force.
Valin awoke realizing his mistake that being a cold blooded killer would never bring Kalee back, nor would it ever help to heal his wounds and his sorrow over his lost love. It would only destroy him in the end. So he took a new vow: He would help any being who needed help. He would be a servant to the Light Side of the Force once more, and that if there were people to save and defend, he would do so.
By the time Valin had fixed his mistakes, things were starting to change. The Hapans had reentered the war after the Battle of Hapes. The Battle of Borleias occurred, in which the Yuuzhan Vong attempted to capture the planet to take the many members of the Advisory Council and destroy the rest of the New Republic military. However, General Wedge Antilles led the attack, drawing the Vong to the planet, in an attempt to provide the council members time to escape to the heavily defended shipyards of Kuat. Wedge confused the Vong greatly, sacrificing the Super Star Destroyer Lusankya by ramming her into a Vong worldship. In the end, Borleias was lost to the Republic - but the Yuuzhan Vong took incredible losses.
A disorganized and weakened New Republic seemed doomed to fall, though. Yet, they and Jedi struck victory in 28 ABY at the moon Ebaq 9, the Vong attacked it in the Deep Core, which is extremely close to the galactic core and thus hyperspace travel is very dangerous, believing high-profile Senators to be hiding there. It was a trap planned by none other than the great, albeit aged and ill, Admiral Ackbar. The trap was sprung and one third of the Yuuzhan Vong fleet was trapped and destroyed and Warmaster Lah was killed by Jaina Solo.
However, the New Republic had met its death after the battle. From its ashes rose the Galactic Alliance, which was basically a heavily reorganized New Republic more fit to rule than the Republic. The Jedi would finally find themselves welcomed again by the Galaxy for their actions in helping with the last few battles.
Even the Imperial Remnant reentered the war after the Yuuzhan Vong invaded Imperial Space and conquered the Imperial capital world of Bastion. Grand Admiral Gilad Pellaeon, the man who was apprentice under the devastating Grand Admiral Thrawn and leader of the Imperial Remnant, would have his forces ally themselves with the Galactic Alliance.
Valin was actually on the planet Mandalore when the Yuuzhan Vong attack. He was part of a small Jedi team that had been sent to warn the Mandalorians about the Vong attack. Thus, he and others took part in the Battle of Mandalore. Boba Fett, the new leader of the Mandalorians known as Mandalore, led his kind incredibly effectively in the battle. The Jedi and the Mandalorian Protectors effectively fought off the Yuuzhan Vong from the world. Thus, now the deadly Mandalorians entered the war.
Now, Valin would participate in several other smaller battles with the Yuuzhan Vong through the next two years. He would go on recuse missions, defense missions, and missions against the Peace Brigade. In 30 ABY, the Alliance was defeated at Bilbringi when the Yuuzhan Vong took down several important HoloNet relay stations. Both sides suffered heavy losses in the battle.
However, by now the galaxy was being retaken by the Galactic Alliance. Things were finally looking up for them and battles were starting to go in their directions.
The Jedi Knight was at the planet Dac, home to the Mon Calamari, when the Yuuzhan Vong invaded the Galactic Alliance capital. He flew the newest X-wing model: An XJ3 X-wing along with his droid - an ancient R3-series astromech known as R3-X2 or Wrench. Valin and Wrench had worked together since his early days with Vibroblade Squadron and since then the pair had been inseparable. In the battle, Valin earned himself twenty coralskipper kills.
In the Battle of Corulag, Valin took part as part of the ground resistance. The battle was fought to provide the Galactic Alliance a key hyperspace route to Coruscant. In the end, the battle was an incredible victory for the Alliance although atrocities were committed against the surviving Yuuzhan Vong and their collaborators.
Finally, Valin would return to Coruscant. The final battle of the Yuuzhan Vong War would be fought here. Valin would arrive with other Jedi strike teams to fight on the partly terraformed planet. He fought along Alliance soldiers, Shamed Ones, and fellow Jedi Knights. During the battles, he felt Kalee right beside him encouraging him as her power within the Force strengthened his own.
In the aftermath of the battle, Supreme Overload of the Yuuzhan Vong Shimrra was killed by Luke Skywalker while Jacen Solo killed the puppeteer of Shimrra: Omini, who had all along controlled Shimrra. Omini had a connection to the Force, unlike other Vong, but he had been physically disfigured after trying to add yammosk tissue to his brain. He had truly controlled the Yuuzhan Vong, acting as a jester to Shimrra while secretly manipulating him. Thus with Omini's death. In the end, the surviving Warmaster Nas Choka ordered the surrender of the Yuuzhan Vong, believing the gods to have forsaken him and Shimrra dead. Many Yuuzhan Vong warriors committed ritualistic suicide via coufee (a small, slightly curved dagger used by the Vong) rather than surrender, while thousands of others converted themselves and their coralskippers or other ships as living missiles.
Valin continued to help as part of the Jedi Knights, helping to rebuild a devastated galaxy in that had lost nearly 365 trillion sentient beings (Equal to 61,000 Earths with a population of 6 billion). Unlike the other Jedi of the time, Valin never adopted the Potentium view of the Force after the war like much of the New Jedi Order did. He knew that there was a light side and a dark side of the Force, much as there was a light and dark in any being's soul. Valin considered himself a Gray Jedi. He would
For many months after the end of the Yuuzhan Vong War, Valin was part of several Jedi strike teams sent to quell those Yuuzhan Vong who continued to fight even after the majority of them stopped doing so.
During his last fight in his XJ3 X-wing, Valin was taking some valuable Jedi holocrons - and a single important Sith holocron - recently discovered after securing a Yuuzhan Vong stronghold out in the galaxy's fringes. Apparently the holocrons existed from several Jedi eras: The Old Sith Wars, the Clone Wars, and even a detailed history of the New Jedi Order by the Jedi historian Tionne Solusar. The first two holocrons were also histories of the Jedi Order, as well, and had long been lost to the Jedi.
Three other holocrons were personal holocrons: One from a Jedi known as Mical from the Jedi Civil War era which detailed the war and life as a Jedi simple called 'The Exile'. The second holocron was from Jedi Master Jocasta Nu, who was the Chief Librarian of the Jedi Archives and as such the holocron also held a vast knowledge of Archives within it. It had been used by her as a portable Jedi training device and research guide. This holocron also detailed the fall of the Old Republic and rise of the Galactic Empire by Nu's Padawan Olee Sandstone. The last holocron was a Sith holocron: The personal one of the Dark Lord of the Sith Darth Vader, which held some Sith teachings and even some logs by Lord Vader himself.
Valin was going to bring them back to Master Skywalker. Unfortunately, he never got to chance.
The young Jedi Knight was ambushed by several other Vong cruisers, most of the task force's forces were destroyed. The order was given to punch in random flight coordinates and flee.
Feeling one chance to survive, he punched the hyperdrive on with the set of coordinates for Tatooine. His astromech unit Wrench informed him that it would be a simple 10 hour flight.
In actuality, the flight lasted 45,800 years and left him into a completely different galaxy. The extensive damage to his hyperdrive severely crippled the machine, one part of it being the relativistic shielding. With that part crippled, Valin experienced warps in the space-time continuum, launching him millennia into the future and into the Milky Way Galaxy.
Directly after coming out of hyperspace, Wrench informed him of the situation: The relativistic shielding had burned out with the onset of lightspeed. The droid's scanners and equipment were able to determine how much time had passed and how far they had traveled - to the amazement of Valin, of course.
Now Valin has crash landed on Earth. Lost and alone. However, he is looking for his purpose here, feeling that the Force has called him here for a reason.
Weapons / Equipment:
---Not finished quite yet---
Lightsaber
Valin's lightsaber is his weapon of choice when he must do battle. The above weapon is his primary one of choice and the one he has personally constructed. In total, he has three lightsabers including this one. The second is a beautifully constructed one that is covered in ornate ivory with a purple blade. This lightsaber was the one owned by his Padawan and lover. The last lightsaber hilt is mostly black and metal with a red blade, based heavily on the design used by Darth Vader.
Utility Belt
As with most Jedi, Valin holds a number of useful objects that Jedi would generally need at the time of war. A rebreather, food tablet holders, comlink, grappling hook, and a small holoprojector disk.
Mechno-arm
A prosthetic limb replacement for the left arm he lost in the Yuuzhan Vong, Valin's mechno-arm started off as a rather simple replacement. Good enough for everyday activities - but not for the life of a Jedi Knight. Thus, the arm became a pet project of the Jedi, which he upgrades and customizes constantly. Now, it is far from a simple replacement - but a very powerful, very well built limb for the Jedi Knight.
Combat Styles:
Form I: Shii-Cho
Also known as the Way of the Sarlacc.
The most basic of the Jedi lightsaber combat styles, all Jedi Younglings were taught this style when they begin lightsaber training back in the days of the Old Jedi Order. The most ancient of lightsaber styles, it incorporated basics based on the ancient sword-fighting key principles of blade combat. Best used against many enemies and blaster-wielding enemies. The strength of Shii-Cho laid in its simplicity.
Form IV: Ataru
Also known as the Way of the Hawk-bat
A rather powerful lightsaber form, Ataru is an aggressive combat form relying on combination of sheer power, speed, and grace. Users of Ataru were on complete offensive with wide, very fast, and powerful swings.
Practitioners commonly called upon the Force to augment their speed and power, making them stronger and swifter. The Force was also used to overcome physical limitations: Master Yoda used the Force to overcome his old age while using Ataru. Not only would the Force allow incredible athletic feats, it could help guide their actions and movements.
Users commonly used powerful feats of aerobatics and acrobatics, such as somersaults and backflips for defense and evasion including for attack. Those who used Form IV could move at amazing speeds and could rain strong blows jumping and attacking through the air. Powerful and lightning fast spinning attacks could be utilized from all angles, from either the ground or air. A true master of Ataru seemed like a blur to opponents, as if attacking from all directions.
Form IV had its drawbacks. It was an incredibly taxing style of combat, making it unsuitable for prolonged combat. Also, due to its highly aggressive nature, the reckless users of Ataru could leave themselves open to potentially deadly counterattacks.
Form VII: Juyo / Vaapad
Also known as the Way of the Vornskr
The final form of lightsaber combat. Juyo was always an imperfect, uncompleted lightsaber style. That�s when Mace Windu came along, mastering and completing the form and calling it Vaapad. Valin, upon finding the former Jedi Master's personal holocron, learned the powerful style from it.
Vaapad involved somewhat intrepid, direct movements used in combination with advance techniques involving Force jumps and motions. However, Form VII was not nearly as fancy as Form IV, lacking the twirling and flipping, but the technical requirements were much higher. Vaapad used seemingly free-wheeling and open movements, but with utter control by the wielder. Opened arms spread wide, torso seemingly opened to attacks: these stances were always under direct control of the user, with the 'openness' actually a technique to draw strikes that could be used against the attacker. While appearing rather reckless on the surface, a true master of Vaapad knew just what they were doing. The staccato swings and free flow of the form made it seem as though each attack was unlinked and disjointed � but in reality, each step, each movement was in absolute control. This resulted in an extremely unpredictable lightsaber style.
Form IV's user also drew its strength from being attacked. It took the powers of the opponent and turned it back onto them. It was a superconducting loop, with the user on one end and the opponent on the end. Thus the power the enemy threw it became the power that a Vaapad user would gain, as well.
However, Vaapad demanded intense emotional and physical intensity. The more intense, the stronger and more wild the Vaapad was. This could have a severe drawback: such strong emotions in such a personal battle could potentially lead the Dark Side of the Force. Vaapad directly involved drawing from one�s anger and hatred into the attack. These taboo emotions of the Jedi Order could potentially bring the fall of a Jedi � because it had already done so. Only Mace Windu was able to control himself using Vaapad.
With this said, Vaapad isn't just a lightsaber combat style. It is a state of mind and power. The user actually had to enjoy the fight. He or she had to feel the thrill of the battle, the rush of winning. Vaapad's style always skirted along the very edges of the Dark Side, and sometimes the evil would come and grasp the person in its clutches. Thus only the true masters of Vaapad knew its real, simple strength: by channeling and reflecting upon your own inner darkness, you turned it into weapon of the light.
Force Powers:
Core Force Powers
These are the most basic powers of the Force and ones first learned by Force user trainees. They directly effect the user and the environment around the Force user without directly have an alignment towards good or evil.
Force Telepathy
The very basic ability of a Jedi or Sith to communicate over small distances with others, regardless if they are Force-sensitive or not.
Force Telekinesis
This is the ability for a Force user to use the powers of the Force to move or lift objects by sheer will and concentration. The power of Force Push and Force Pull derive from this basic ability, in which the user 'pushes' an object away or 'pulls' it closer to them, respectively. The Force Jump ability would also derive from this basic power, giving a Force user the ability to jump large distances, vertically or horizontally.
Force Speed
By channeling the Force, ths user can increase their reflexes, agility, and the speed of their movements.
Force Sense
The ability of a Jedi or Sith to sense another being through the Force. This technique would be useless to use against those that exist 'outside' of the Force. This basic sense can be developed to use the power of Force Sight, the ability to 'see' the world around them: with the background appearing as a dark grey, living matter (such as planets) as green, and living or dead beings as their Force attunement (Light, dark, grey) 'glow'.
Saber Throw
The ability to hurl a lightsaber blade at a target via the Force, basically a use of the power of Force Push on your own lightsaber.
Universal Force Powers
Generic Force powers learned from the basic Core powers. Associated with neither the Dark or Light side of the Force.
Breath Control
The Force power to control the amount of oxygen intake in the lungs. It numbed the body's instinct to shut itself down after long periods of oxygen. The typical use was just a few minutes. However, some Jedi were able to use this power for hours and even days.
Malacia
The power of the Force to disturb the natural balance in a power's head to create dizziness and nausea.
Psychometry
The ability to pick up impressions from the world around them through the Force. Touching an object or strong events could cause a Force user to pick up traces of information or see visions. In cases of monumental events in the Force that cause very strong tremors, a Jedi may say they "Sense a disturbance in the Force."
Force Precognition
The ability to see slightly into the future. Strong tremors in the Force could alert them before hand of extreme danger aproaching. It, along with Force Sense, was also used during battle when Force warriors are warned in advance of enemy movements several seconds before the events occur. Stronger Force users could receive visions through dreams or meditation. Master Yoda and Emperor Palpatine were both incredible talented in the ability of Force Precognition.
Force Deflection
A rather rare Force ability that allows users to block blaster bolts or objects with their bare hands by channeling the Force to redirect the bolt or object.
Force Enhancement
This Force power allowed Force users to boost their abilities, such as strength, dexterity, endurance.
Force Comprehension
The ability to greatly speed your own neural processes to absorb a vast amount of information at one time. A very rare ability, it could be used to almost instantly learn a combat style by just watching it.
Light Side Force Powers
A servant to the Light Side of the Force, the majority of Valin's powers lie within the light, from which he draws most of his power.
Force Healing
The power to accelerate the healing process of the body rapidly.
Force Persuasion
The power to influence the minds and wills of the weak-minded. Also known as the Jedi Mind Trink, it is a very common Jedi tool, it could be used to settle disputes or avoid potentially dangerous actions from happening. The power could be used to implant sensory distractions to have guards follow it to allow a Jedi sneak away. Lastly, the most powerful use was that to hide a Jedi in plain view.
Hibernation Trance
The Hibernation Trance allows for the user to slow their bodily processes and enter a hibernation state. It slowed or stopped every aspect of the body now, including the most important ones: Brain activity, breathing, and metabolism.
Force Stun
This Light Side power is used to deaden the senses and perceptions of an enemy, making them weaker and more vulnerable. Stronger Jedi could even bring their victims into a catatonic state known as Force Stasis.
Force Valor
By tapping into the Force through their mind and body, Jedi could increase their resolve, accuracy, and other capacities of oneself or allies.
Force Protection
This Force power allowed for Jedi to bring the Force to surround them as a personal shield, lessening the damage they take from attacks.
Dark Side Force Powers
Although he serves the Light Side, Valin knows - and has used - the taboo but mighty powers of the Dark Side of the Force.
Force Grip
A telekinetic power that is generally used to target a victim's throat, lungs, or certain organs. By attacking the throat, the Force user could cause the trachea to close up, preventing air from reaching the lungs. It could also target the lungs itself, forcing them to expel all gases inside of it and preventing air to enter it. Lastly, some uses saw the destruction of certain organs, such as the squeezing of the heart until it stopped.
Force Lightning
A pure energy attack, the user could hurl bolts of lightning through the fingertips or palms. A powerful blast could kill instantly. However, the Sith were well known to use weaker blasts to torture a victim. Force Lightning, like any lightning, is able to be grounded. Weaker bursts of lightning could be block - even turned back upon the user - by a strong enough combination of the Force and a lightsaber.
Force Fear
This is the power to instill fear and doubt into an enemy. Weaker willed beings could even be brought to cower before them. Darth Vader was probably a powerful user of Force Fear to intimidate his officers.
Force Crush
A rather rare and powerful Force variation of Force Grip, Force Crush literally raises the targeted person into air and causes their body literally implodes, crushing their insides. This Sith art is incredibly painful to experience, causing severe death throes.
