Darth Nihilus was a Human male who reigned as a Dark Lord of the Sith during the era of strife following the Jedi Civil War. Before becoming a Sith Lord, he lost everything during the Galactic Republic's war against the Mandalorian Neo-Crusaders. He survived the activation of the Mass Shadow Generator superweapon during the war's final battle at the planet of Malachor V, which surrounded the planet with a destructive spatial phenomenon known as a mass shadow. Experiencing the shadow that obliterated almost everything on and around the planet made Nihilus crave Force energy. The affliction painfully ravaged his body while rendering him a wound in the Force. He was found by a seeker of these, the Sith Lord Darth Traya, who told him that she could teach him to feed his endless hunger. He accepted her offer of apprenticeship at the Trayus Academy on Malachor V, and, over time, he became one of three concurrent Dark Lords of the Sith, referred to as The Lord of Hunger. The third sith lord, Darth Sion, helped Nihulis overthrow Traya. Sion defeated Traya, while Nihilus sapped her energy, before the two Sith exiled her and combined their powers to sever her ties to the Force. Nihilus' affliction developed to the point where the Dark Lord was forced to call upon the dark side of the Force to encase his spirit within his mask and armor to stay alive. Sion and he then began a Jedi purge, causing the virtual extinction of the Jedi Order. Nihilus was responsible for the devastation of the planet Katarr in 3952 BBY, killing and absorbing the Force energy of the Jedi at the Conclave on Katarr along with every other living thing on the world save one Miraluka woman named Visas Marr.
"He is a wound in the Force, more presence than flesh, and in his wake life dies… sacrificing itself to his hunger."

Character design:
So now that you know how powerful this guy is, I'm giving my personal character design that will hopefully reflect Darth Nihulis himself (your opinions may differ).
Description - Durable tank/support, with massively high health and low protections, can sap the life out of the enemy while restoring his own health and teams health.
(Basic) Daunting Strike - Deals physical damage to a target with a 30%/40%/50%/60% chance to apply health down on the target. If the target is a jedi, the chance is doubled. Omega: Add a 60% chance to apply Dot effect for 2 turns. Damage: 2000-3000
-Nihulis was never known for his blade so its not meant to hurt as much as his other abilities.
(Special) Life Drain - 4 turn cooldown. Deal damage to all enemies individually equal to 10%/11%/12% of each of their max healths. Each sith team member heals for 30%/40%/50% of the total damage done and all other allies heal for half of that. Darth Nihulis heals for 75% of the damage done. Omega: Increase Nihulis' healing to 100%. Damage: Percent of max health based.
-Nihulis is literally a lord of lifesteal, this ability reflects him being a support but helps increase his survivability as a tank as well as some decent damage output should he be the last man standing.
(Leader) Hungering Servants: All Sith allies gain 25%/30%/35%/40%/45% Lifesteal. Omega: if an attack is evaded, gain 30% turn meter.
-Nihulis helps his team through lifesteal and anti-evasion, pretty simple here
(Unique) Lord of Hunger: Nihulis heals for 3%/4%/5%/6% of any damage done by his allies. When any unit dies, Nihulis has a 30%/40% chance to gain 30% turn meter. Jedi deaths double the turn meter gained. Omega: add 10% turn meter chance
(Unique) Wound in the force: Nihulis permenately gains 20/22/24/26/28/30 at the beginning of each turn. Omega35 speed
- Nihulis' endless hunger forces him to move quicker. This ability puts the nails on the coffin..... This is what makes Darth Nihulis a great tank. If you don't prioritize him as a target, you could pay for it greatly in the long run.
Stats at Max Level and Gear (no mods):
health - 33,000
Protections - 5000
Speed - 98
Tenacity - 15%
Potency - 40%
The goal with Darth Nihulis as a character is to have a tank that can double as a good healing support for the sith team.
I love Darth Nihulis as a character concept for SWGOH, but i know you guys have great ideas too!
