Jedi versus Undead [ICKessler]

The planet Kotengo, located in the Mid Rim, was home to many diverse cultures from around the galaxy. The government and population did their best to remain neutral in during the Clone Wars but the conflict inevitably caught up to them. Kotengo had become an urban battlefield. Clone troopers and battle droids fought openly in the sprawling cities, lush forests, and grassy plains.

Led by Jedi General Vaelan Kashiro (or simply 'Kash'), the forces of the Republic slowly beat back the Seperatist armies.

Near the end of the War, after long months of constant battle, something terrible happens. A Seperatist extremist group has managed to smuggle a biological weapon onto Kotengo. Their plan: unleash it upon the Grand Army and kill every living thing on the planet.

Dawn rises on the beginning of the end. The bioweapon is launched and releases its virulant toxins in the heart of the clone ranks. Thousands die within the first hour. Millions follow in the hours after when the toxins spread through the atmosphere and water supplies to the major cities.

The only one who seems unaffected by this new bioweapon is General Kash, whose control over the Force somehow keeps him immune.

There's also one more problem. Those who have fallen to the virus soon rise again, their bodies reanimated but their minds lost. They now hunger and seek to feed on anything in the living Force. Unfortunately for Kash, he's the tastiest meal around...

I hope you enjoyed that tidbit. It's essentially a sort of synopsis for a story I'm planning on writing where the main Jedi character, General Kash, is stranded on a planet now swarming with the walking dead. My idea came from watching Resident Evil and thinking, "You know what would make killing zombies so much easier? A lightsaber!"

So my request (finally) is a combat scene featuring our hero, Kash, fighting one or two undead Wookiees...and these guys are out to rip more than just an arm out of a socket!

Kash himself is human. He's tall and muscular with lightly tanned skin and shoulder-length dark brown hair. He's ruggedly handsome with a battle-worn face...perhaps an old scar or two. In this scene, I'm thinking it would be cool to see him in clone armour (like Obi-wan in the Clone War shorts), minus the helmet and covered with scratches, dents, dirt and blood from constant combat.

I am seeing Kash as a mixture of Alice from Resident Evil, Ash from Evil Dead, Jedi Master Quinlan Vos, and a hint of Kyle Katarn for taste.

The challenges Kash face on Kotengo will require him to aquire alternate ordnance outside of his trusty lightsaber. In this scene, I would like to see him weilding his green lightsaber but also carrying a shotgun-type weapon slung across his back.

So, as I said, Kash versus zombie Wookiees. I don't have any preconceived ideas on the look of anything outside the guidelines I provided so go crazy and have fun! I know I sure will writing this thing!

Many thanks to all of the talented artists here!
