Description: Visas Marr
Prefix: SL
Detachment: Flagship Eclipse Detachment
Context: Star Wars Tales: Unseen Unheard
The last survivor of Katarr, Visas Marr is taken to become the apprentice of a cruel Sith master. For his first lesson, Darth Nihilus encourages to see through the Force itself, by burning Visas's eye sockets with his lightsaber.

Costume components:

1. Veil: The dark burgundy head piece is shoulder length around the back and sides. The veil reaches midway down the nose in the front. The veil's fabric matches the fabric used for the under dress. The veil sits closely against the face to hide the costumer's eyes. A pattern of gold embellishment borders the bottom hem and front of the veil.

2. Lip shade: Lips are a dark red in a shade similar to the veil.

3. Overdress: The fitted overdress is made from black leather or leatherette, and it has a low gloss finish. The fitted bodice has a high funnel or turtleneck collar and wide capped sleeves. The A-line skirt is ankle length and has a split on the left side that starts just below the waist, revealing the red dress underneath. The arm holes and split in the skirt are hemmed and seamed. The back side of the leather or leatherette is also black in color.

The overdress is covered by a faint grey pinwheel pattern 4" to 5" (10.15 cm to 16.25 cm) in diameter. The pattern is embossed into the fabric. Alternatively this pattern may be painted onto the material with a grey acrylic or other suitable fabric paint.

4. Underdress: The dark burgundy under dress is made with a matte fabric. The dress has a fitted bodice and a full skirt that falls to ankle length. The wide sleeves are open and reach to the mid-forearms. Gold embellishment borders the bottom hem of both sleeves with a pattern similar to the design on the veil.

5. Gloves: The black leather gloves reach nearly to the elbows. The gloves have four evenly spaced grey-toned bands going around both of the forearms.

6. Belt: A dark red sash style belt is wrapped twice around the waist. The two wraps of the belt come together on the right hip, and then drape to form separate layers on the left side, one above and one just under the split of the overdress. There is no visible connection where the ends of the belt come together.

7. Boots: Undecorated black boots with low heels are worn. Leather or leatherette boots may be used.

Costume accessories:

8. Darkside Corruption: The physically draining effects of the Darkside are seen in Visas as her apprenticeship progresses. Special effects makeup to reproduce this effect includes purple lips and pale skin with broken veins.

9. Lightsaber: The lightsaber is based on reference images of the Visas Marr lightsaber design, which includes a banded design at the emitter. If bladed, the lightsaber's blade is red.
