Reskins K1 NPC Mission Vao from a Rutian (blue) to Lethan (red) Twi'lek with black, full-body Sith tattoos modelled after Legacy comic book character Darth Talon. V2. 0 changes Mission's class from Scoundrel to Jedi Sentinel, as well as toning down the textures somewhat in response to user feedback.

MISSION VAO AS DARTH TALON V2 =============================

AUTHORS: DarthParametric (K1 Conversion, Class Mod, Texture Tweak) Levi Davis/nineball (Original Textures)

ABOUT: Back in late 2006, Levi Davis (AKA nineball) put out a mod for TSL that allowed female PCs to play as the Sith Twi'lek Darth Talon from Dark Horse's Legacy comic series. I quite liked the look of it, but I never play as a female in KOTOR so it wasn't initially of use to me. However, I was playing K1 at the time and, on an impulse, decided to try and convert it to a reskin of Mission. I had never modded KOTOR before, so it was as much an exercise in learning some basic techniques as producing the desired end result. After some trial and error I managed to get it working and posted some screenshots in Levi's SWKnights thread. Levi gave me permission to release it to the public as long as I gave credit for the textures. At the time I wasn't really interested in that, and as I uninstalled K1 and moved on to other things, the files sat in the Override folder, momentarily forgotten. Just recently, I reinstalled TSL and went back to SWKnights after a long absence. Someone posted a thread about Sith tattoos and I recalled Levi's mod. After browsing the thread for it again, I decided to dig out the Mission conversion I had done and see if I could release it.

WHAT IT DOES: Reskins K1 NPC Mission Vao from a Rutian (blue) to Lethan (red) Twi'lek with black, full-body Sith tattoos modelled after Legacy comic book character Darth Talon.

While Darth Talon is arguably more of a Sith Warrior (Guardian), I felt Sentinel more accurately reflected Mission herself because of their greater reliance on non-Force skills. She starts out with some basic Force powers, appropriate Jedi feats and a lightsaber. All her other stats remain identical to her original Scoundrel template. The textures h
