Vader/Anakin [AU]

Intro [AU] After Darth Vader (a.k.a. Anakin Skywalker) is redeemed & dies, the Force sends Vader's spirit into his younger self to change the past. He's returned to when he's unmarried, 18 years old, Obi-Wan's Padawan (4 years before he became Darth Vader in the original timeline). He's kind, loyal, cares deeply for his friends/family, yet he's heartless & ruthless to his enemies. Struggles w/ his rage & addiction to the Dark Side. Revels in his freedom from his suit & mask; of being able to breathe w/o support & feel no pain. Traumatized & broken; has to forgive himself, try to access his playful, fun-loving side as Anakin again. He's stoic, confident, calm, pragmatic, efficient, impatient but presents himself as level-headed, low tolerance for failure/incompetence. HATES Palpatine for his deceit & ruining his life in the original timeline. What Anakin doesn't know: Obi-Wan's spirit was sent back in time, too. He's afraid of losing Anakin again, will be overprotective of him.
