}}'''Halcyon Taldrya''' is a veteran of the [[Dark Brotherhood]], learning the ways of the dark side for over a decade. His ultimate destination passed through many roads, from orphan to engineer; pilot to intelligence officer. His journey has also taken him through two families. Becoming a brother to [[Vassan Rokir]], he however learned of his actual family and the knowledge that his name was not just for show. He however dismissed the light, preferring the shadows and staying with the one place that had helped him grow.

Once depending solely on his skill with starfighters and other space-worthy vessels, Halcyon has slowly diversified himself over the years, learning and succeeding at covert operations as well as becoming adept at ground combat and mastering the use of the lightsaber. A long-time leader within the Brotherhood, Halcyon has held numerous positions including [[Combat Master]] and [[Deputy Grand Master]].

== Character History ==
=== Early Life ===
For the better part of his life, Halcyon was unaware of who his parents were or of any family. However, his past has opened up to him in recent years, filling in the one piece of his life that had always eluded him. Halcyon was born to a Jedi Master, Aerick Halcyon and his Corellian wife and [[starwars:CorSec|CorSec]] officer, Loira. He also had an older brother, Michael, who was almost four at the time of his birth. Born during the infancy of the Galactic Empire and the Jedi Purges, Halcyon’s family had hidden themselves in a monastery on Drall, one of the planets in the [[starwars:Corellian System|Corellian System]]. It was in this monastery where Loira gave birth to a second son, and also where they left that boy as they feared they would not be able to hide both force-sensitive children from the dreaded [[starwars:Darth Vader|Darth Vader]].

==== Keeping Safe ====
''17 BBY – 1 BBY''

His heritage hidden from him, Halcyon grew up in the monastery for 10 years, learning from the monks about the galaxy at large while he performed small errands throughout the complex. A Master Shipbuilder had come to the monastery on day, knowing it acted as a refuge for children without homes. Needing someone to perform menial tasks, as well as an apprentice to mold into his image, the Master Shipbuilder believed Halcyon to fit his needs and convinced the monks to transfer him to his care. For the next 6 years, Halcyon worked at one of the many space-docks in the Corellian System, learning the art of shipmaking while running various jobs for his Master.

However by the age of 16 Halcyon had grown tired of life in the space-dock and yearned for more. Although under the care of the Master Shipbuilder, Halcyon stowed away on a freighter that had docked for repairs. The freighter’s next destination was the Corporate Sector where he managed to sneak back out and used the knowledge he had learned the past few years to earn a job as an engineer on an old [[starwars:YT-1000 freighter|YT-1000 freighter]].

==== Living Life ====
''1 BBY – 15 ABY''

For the next 16 years Halcyon moved from sector to sector, job to job. Each time he made a new name for himself, starting fresh in his new surroundings. Although the galaxy went through numerous changes during this time, Halcyon stayed on the fringes, content to see and do as he pleased. During this time he had learned to fly, operate and maintain numerous fighters and freighters. He did not however have any long-tern friends, relationships or an actual home. That all changed when a freighter he piloted was to unload a shipment on a world called Aurora Prime. Upon landing, as he did on all planets, Halcyon took a tour of the main city. This time he became enthralled and felt a deep connection to this new place. Passing a recruitment office for the [http://www.ehtiecorps.org/ Tie Corps] of the [[Emperor's Hammer]], he took in all of the information he could. Finding the idea of using state of the art equipment as well as a more permanent home alluring, he applied on the spot, using the first name that seemed to come to mind, “Halcyon”.

=== The Emperor’s Hammer ===
==== Tie Corps ====
''9 ABY – 13 ABY''
[[File:Halcyonuniform.jpg|thumb|100px|right|Halcyon's Tie Corps Uniform when Wing Commander of Wing IV]]

Next to all of the other new trainees Halcyon was already quite old, but his past experiences helped him quickly move into a squadron. His career began on the flagship of the Emperor’s Hammer, the SSSD Sovereign in Wing IV as part of Yod squadron. His skill was immediately apparent and within a few months he was asked to join the Elite Intelligence Division squadron, Praetorian. Although tasked with being the Escort Squadron of the Supreme Director, the pilots in Praetorian were also given intensive special operations training, making them useful outside of their cockpit as well.

Having gone through a number of Tours of Duty with Praetorian and already a Major in the Tie Corps, Halcyon returned to Wing IV and eventually became Commander of Yod squadron. Yod proved to be one of the most dependable squadrons on the flagship during his time in command, successfully completing the bulk of their missions. Halcyon walked away from leadership as a Lieutenant Colonel, become a regular flight member once more. However he came back and became Wing Commander of Wing IV, restoring the Wing to a level of renown once more and earning him Colonel in the process.

==== Dark Brotherhood ====
''11 ABY – 13 ABY''
[[File:Halcyongoa.gif|thumb|150px|left|Halcyon's old Grant of Arms]]

Halcyon’s ability with a starfighter was well known to his squad mates in Praetorian, but his success on the ground was also outstanding. Urged by his friends Halcyon went to Eos and found that he was force sensitive. Wanting to develop those talents he joined the Dark Brotherhood and became a Sith, member of [[House Oriens Obscurum]] in [[Arcona|Clan Arcona]]. His powers quickly developed, earning the use of a lightsaber prior to the great [[Fourth Great Jedi War|Vendetta]] as well as cementing the name of Pandragon as one of the great Sith Battleteams, leading them from the moment he was an [[Proselyte|Acolyte]].

For all of his actions he was given the [[Quaestor]] position in Oriens Obscurum when his mentor, E. Tarkin, was elevated to [[Consul]] of Arcona. He also joined the [[Equite]] ranks at this time. After a successful term as Quaestor, Halcyon stepped down but was soon asked to be Aedile of the House and held that position under a succession of other Quaestor’s. During this time his powers continued to grow, managing to elevate himself to the rank of [[Sith Battlelord]] and a prominent member of the Clan.

==== Intelligence Division ====
''12 ABY – 13 ABY''

Although no longer a member of Praetorian, those in the Intelligence Division still kept their eyes on him. Supreme Director Jordynn was tasked to rebuild the ID as it had grown stagnant over time. Needing a skilled and sturdy hand she called upon Halcyon to take on the reins of the Bureau of Operations, giving him a new persona in the form of Major Gryph. Although there for only a very short while Halcyon re-organized the entire Bureau, strengthening both Branches and making it an effective organization once more. The Bureau was the best run at the time of his leaving, having been promoted to Lieutenant Colonel during the re-organization process. Halcyon was soon called back to duty with the ID and asked to join the secretive Bureau of Internal Organization.

In recent years Halcyon met and became a trusted friend of [[Syn Kaek]], a key mastermind behind the Intelligence Division at the same time Halcyon was a Bureau Director. It is also rumoured that Halcyon’s other persona may still be active and has perhaps been strengthened with his current association to the former Intel officer.

==== Injustice ====
''12 ABY''

Although a well known and popular pilot with others, Halcyon’s skill was also seen as a threat to many. During a flight competition in the Dark Brotherhood, evidence was planted against him by powerful forces in the Emperor’s Hammer, implicating him in various charges. Although evidence was found to exonerate him, the High Court of Inquisitors forbade additional evidence other than what was initially brought to them. Easily found guilty, Halcyon was stripped of his Tie Corps ranks and medals, as well as his Dark Brotherhood medals and his powers reverted back to that of a [[Novice]]. Seeing the hypocrisy of the Fleet, Halcyon focused his energies on the force instead. Such actions would make certain decision later on much simpler.

=== Exodus and Beyond ===
==== Rebirth ====
''13 ABY''

Perhaps the largest event in Dark Brotherhood history, the [[Exodus]] was a catalyst for many dark jedi at the time. Tearing away from the Emperor’s Hammer, decisions had to be made by all of those involved. For Halcyon, such a decision was simple as he left the EH behind, leaving many friends by knowing he was destined for more than to be a cog in a bureaucratic mess. During the confusion of the time, Halcyon took the reigns of House Oriens Obscurum once more, his past abilities needed to help steady a group in turmoil.

With a new beginning for everyone, Halcyon brought his case before the Grand Master and the newly created [[Chamber of Justice]]. Seeing the previous injustice wrought upon him, the leaders of the Dark Brotherhood re-instated Halcyon to the rank of Sith Battlelord as well as returned all of his previous medals.

==== Growth ====
''13 ABY – 17 ABY''

With a new beginning for Dark Brotherhood Halcyon also decided to test new waters. With the position of [[Commander of the Guard]] opening he applied and was awarded the job. As he brought together a new group of Grand Master’s Royal Guards, he was also pushed to his own physical limits, the training involved much more than what he was ever accustomed too. Halcyon’s body went from that of a pilot to one of a true warrior. After completing the longest single-term as CoG, Halcyon stepped down and was elevated to the [[Elder]] ranks for his efforts.

Having made the leap into the world of the [[Obelisk]], Halcyon next found himself a part of a once “Krath” organization, the [[Antei Combat Center]]. Taking on the role of second-in-command, Halcyon proved himself adept at handling the duties of the Center, as well as becoming a successful participant himself.

==== Responsibility ====
''17 ABY – 19 ABY''

Returning to Arcona after his stint on the Dark Council, Halcyon turned his attentions to helping the Clan continue its growth. Beginning with [[Aedile]] of [[Qel-Droma]], Halcyon took increasing positions of prominence within the Clan. It was also during this time that Halcyon began a part of a true family, his friend [[Vassan Rokir|Vassan]] adopting him as a “brother” into the [[Rokir|Rokir family]], a family known for a legacy of architecture and building, talents Halcyon carried relating to starships and fighters. Although since having removed the name "Rokir" from official records, he still views Vassan as a brother-in-arms and will stand by his side should it ever be needed.

Such responsibilities finally culminated as Consul of Arcona, a position he held for a short while before the politics of the position caused him to step down and clear his head away from the Clan itself. However Halcyon couldn’t stay away for long, called back to once again help his home. Helping House Oriens Obscurum he was finally thrust once more into the seat of Consul, preparing the Clan for a great war in the Dark Brotherhood. Although many bickering forces threatened to split the Clan apart, cohesion was held and Arcona weathered what would be called the [[Seventh Great Jedi War]]. Before the war began Halcyon was elevated to the esteemed rank of [[Dark Jedi Master]] with powers that saw him successfully lead his Clan.

==== Changing Pace ====
''19 ABY – 20 ABY''

With the culmination of the war, Halcyon once again found himself yearning for more. Having spent his entire time in Clan Arcona, he felt he no longer had any room for growth, deciding to leave his home and venture to the [[Taldryan|Clan Taldryan]]. There he hoped to truly expand his powers and train in both body and mind against and unfamiliar yet powerful Clan. Only through pushing his limits would Halcyon achieve his full potential.

Halcyon also finally came face to face with his past, learning of his heritage as an actual “Halcyon”, his brother being the traitorous Jedi Master [[Michael Halcyon]]. However, he has rejected such ties, keeping himself away from the other Halcyon Jedi, most of who fight for the [[starwars:New Republic|New Republic]].

Upon stepping down from Consul, Halcyon was given the opportunity to work alongside Syn Kaek as his [[Praetor]], much of his time then spent on [[Antei]] instead of in his “new” home. After numerous months Kaek decided to venture into the unknown, leaving Halcyon as the new [[Master at Arms]]. Taking on these new responsibilities, he had to give up his duties as Deputy Combat Master and took a more permanent residence in the [[Dark Hall]]. Continuing from where Kaek had left Halcyon continued with the re-organization of the MAA office, butting heads with many around the Dark Brotherhood, but ensuring a set of standards were in place.

==== Turmoil ====
''20 ABY - 21 ABY''

As long-time [[Grand Master]] [[Jac Cotelin]] decided to step down from his position, the elevation of [[Sarin]] to Grand Master left a void in the [[Dark Council]]. Halcyon was asked to become the next [[Deputy Grand Master]], a position he readily accepted. However, beset by those who had nothing left to offer the Dark Brotherhood, Halcyon's time as second-in-command was tumultuous. However, a [[Second Darkness|Rite of Supremacy]] devoid of Order was successfully run, weeding the weak and allowing the strong to rise to prominence. Named a [[Sith Lord|Lord of the Sith]], his time as DGM still soured him, his resignation announced immediately following the end of the RoS.

At the same moment [[Dalthid]] had decided to lessen his time in the ACC, opening up the spot of Combat Master. Halcyon was asked to take over, one of the few with the knowledge and skill necessary to run the complicated operations. With much of the politics of the Dark Brotherhood removed from ACC operations, Halcyon accepted the new position.

[[File:Halcyonpic.jpg|thumb|150px|left|Halcyon in his ACC combat clothing]]

==== New Status Quo ====
''21 ABY - 24 ABY''

Accepting his new position, Halcyon had also decided on once again joining a Clan, returning to the only place that felt anything like a home to him. With the permission of the Consul, Halcyon was once again a member of [[House Dinaari]] in Clan Taldryan, just as the [[Eighth Great Jedi War|Force-devoid Aliens attacked]] the unsuspecting Dark Brotherhood. For the next week Halcyon and the rest of his Clan fled into the Shroud, battling off their pursuers as they reached Antei itself. Reaching the home of their Brotherhood, Halcyon saw flashes of what was to come, and what may be. Although in the middle of a heated battle Halcyon left his Clan to ensure the continued survival of the ACC, journeying to Antei and retrieving the necessary tools to help re-build.

Bringing stability to the ACC once more he has passed on the reins of leadership to others, planning to slowly move into the background. Yet with the sudden resignation of his Consul, [[Duga Taldrya Arkarso|Duga]], a new door had opened for the veteran Sith. Although previous stints as Consul had left a bitter taste in his mouth, even to this day, the opportunity to lead Taldryan was one he could not pass up. With agreement from the Grandmaster, Deputy Grand Master and Duga himself, Halcyon was given control of Taldryan as its new Consul.

Although Consul for less than a year, Halcyon fought to keep Taldryan the sea of stability that always characterized it. During his reign the [[Rybanloth System]] was overrun by pirates and a task force led by his Proconsul, Chaosrain, took the System back. New plans of action were implemented to ensure Taldryan's sister-system was given the same level of protection and prominence as any other system in the Dark Brotherhood would hold. Stepping down as Consul, Halcyon returned to his own personal studies, before being asked once more to step into another leadership role.

==== Old Ways; New Change ====
''24 ABY - 25 ABY''

Having spent years as part of the Antei Combat Center, Halcyon had noticed its recent decline since he was last a part of its staff. Taking his concerns to the Dark Council, he was asked to take the reigns of Combat Master once more. Years of leadership and dealing with the personal aspirations of many others had taken their toll, but he set aside such misgivings to rebuild the ACC foundation. Long-time Combat Master Dalthid also joined, ensuring the Center would find it's lustre once more. With clouds of war gathering on the horizon it was decided that the Center would once more focus on ensuring the newest dark jedi in the Brotherhood's fold would be given the chance to prove their worth to the organization. Their blades would be needed for what was to come.

As the ACC regained it's legs, [[Ninth Great Jedi War|War]] was upon them once more. Grand Master [[Sarin|Sarin's]] vision of re-taking Antei had finally come to pass, the entire Brotherhood called into action to ensure its success. The enemy they faced was not what they had expected, the Alien threat replaced with a band of Jedi unknown to the rest of the Brotherhood or the Galaxy at large. The Brotherhood was ultimately victorious, taking their home back, but at the cost of their Grand Master's life and countless others. Although Taldryan had shown once more they were not to be trifled with, it was Halcyon's former Clan, Arcona, who had proved themselves the true power during the invasion. For Halcyon himself the time had shown that he wished to once more step away from leadership, his dealings with those "on the ground" showing that was where he currently belonged. Stepping down as Combat Master Halcyon turned to focus on his own studies. It did not take long for the Elder to be thrust into leadership, [[Shadow Taldrya|Shadow's]] departure leaving the Clan rudderless. Stepping in on a temporary basis Halcyon smoothed over the operations of the Clan, taking on [[Vodo Biask Taldrya|Vodo]] as his Proconsul. He stayed on for only a few months, ensuring the Clan had a firm foundation once more before turning the Clan over to the Twi'lek.

==== For the Brotherhood ====
''25 ABY - 30 ABY''

Halcyon had finally managed to extract himself from the day-to-day operations of the Brotherhood, taking time for himself to travel the galaxy. Although adventures abounded, he once more returned to the DB. Although not immediately taking up a leadership role, he did offer his services in an advisory role to the Grand Master, while also playing a role in the near-victory for Taldryan during the [[Spoils of War|taking of Salas V]]. A restructuring of the Dark Council led the Sith back onto the main body of the Brotherhood, becoming the first [[Voice of the Brotherhood]]. He spent much of this time travelling to the various Star Systems that fell under the banner of the Brotherhood, bringing the word of the Grand Master. With the disappearance of Darth Sarin, Halcyon was called upon to take on the mantle of Deputy Grand Master for a second time. He immediately set to work on a new Coliseum for use during the next [[Independence Games]] while finding a new source of income for the Brotherhood. [[Tempest Omega|Operation Tempest Omega]] succeeded in finding that new source of funding for the Brotherhood, after its previous source had been broken. Utilizing a "Retreat" built on [[starwars:Osarian|Osarian]] for the super-wealthy, the Dark Brotherhood is now able to secure large sums of funds while also able to discreetly hide all other forms of business behind their more legitimate practices.

[[File:GreatjediwarXmichaelgonbedead.png|thumb|right|200px|Halcyon and his brother Michael commence their final duel.]]
The [[Independence_Games#Independence Games IV (2011)|Fourth Independence Games]] were successful, but a long-simmering feud was to come to a head. After months of discussion, the [[Tenth Great Jedi War|Invasion of New Tython]] was declared. Although what was to be a clear-cut victory was instead a hard-fought battle as [[Odan-Urr]] had allies in the form of Rokir's estranged brother, Michael Halcyon and a band of [[starwars:Mandalorian|Mandalorian]] mercenaries. In the end [[New Tython]] was brought under the heel of the Brotherhood, and Halcyon had killed his brother Michael in a climatic duel. Shortly thereafter a brother-in-arms also found death. [[Syn Kaek]], on a mission known only to himself, was killed. The remainder of his belongings found their way to Halcyon's desk, with no way to trace how they arrived. Halcyon has vowed to take revenge on those who stole his friends life and he keeps the remaining tokens close at hand.

For a brief moment it appeared that stability beginning to take a hold, after so much death and destruction had occurred during Halcyon's time on the Council. It was just an illusion as the Brotherhood's past came roaring back in the form of former [[Zoraan|Grand Master Zoraan]]. Presumed dead, Zoraan sought to reclaim the [[Iron Throne]] utilizing an impressive fleet as well as a new bioweapon. The crisis, which has come to be known as [[Horizons]], sent all Clans and Houses back on their heels. Halcyon, along with what forces remained on [[Antei]], fought back against the usurpers and were ultimately successful, although not before a great toll had been taken. Tired of the personal price that had been extracted from him, Halcyon stepped away from the Dark Council and the various responsibilities that had been his burden.

==== Back in the Home ====
''30 ABY - ''

Time after stepping down from DGM

== Miscellaneous Descriptions ==
=== Physical ===
[[File:Halcyon Robes v2.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Current robes worn by Halcyon]]
Halcyon stands at 1.8 meters, weighing nearly 82 kilograms. Although once having the perfect “pilot’s” body, he has since added well defined musculature to his frame which he keeps finely honed through much training. His most striking features are his hair and eyes, both a deep emerald in color. Such color is natural, although it has never been known how such coloring occurred. One theory that has been suggested is Halcyon’s path to the dark side when compared to all other force-sensitive Halcyon’s going to the light. Such rejection may have contributed to a rejection of regular physical features as well. Regardless, Halcyon wears his hair long and normally has it tied tightly at the back. He also keeps a neatly trimmed goatee.

====Custom Robes====
During his reign as Voice of the Brotherhood, Halcyon had a new set of robes designed for him that were not just for show. Although the colour scheme was maintained, all of the material was upgraded to be effective during the heat of battle. The tunic, pants and cloak are all made from [[starwars:armorweave|armorweave]] while the chest, legs and forearm plating are made from [[starwars:durasteel|durasteel]]. A less-armoured version of these robes are used on a day-to-day basis. The armorweave is replaced with [[starwars:zeyd-cloth|zeyd-cloth]] and the durasteel with hardened [[starwars:corellian leather|corellian leather]]. Only during formal occasions or in times of battle will the armoured-robes be used.

=== Personality ===
Being so in tune with the dark side causes many dark jedi to be twisted by such powers, forming many split personalities, psychosis or very angry and destructive personalities. Halcyon however has managed to overcome or bypass such tendencies. Having experienced and seen much prior to developing his force powers Halcyon has been able to keep his head and push through the more psychotic tendencies, even while delving deeper into such strange and powerful forces.

It is only during battle that Halcyon reverts to a more destructive form, forgoing compassion and restraint focusing instead on victory and completing the task at hand. Outside of that, Halcyon is normally easy-going with those he considers friends and acquaintances, although many others can see him as unemotional or detached, his face normally inscrutable in public.

With those he considers friends however he is much more relaxed and at ease. It is a far cry from how he holds himself in public with only a select few really seeing that side of his personality.

=== Weapons ===
==== Custom Vibroblades ====
[[File:Vibroblade.jpg|thumb|150px|right|One blade]]

These intricately made blades are each 20 centimetres long. The entire weapon is perfectly balanced, allowing for ease of use. Although untraditional in style, these vibroblades were made to withstand the rigors of battle. The hilts contain the power core, as well as specially modified sound dampeners. The vibrations no longer emit noise from the blades. The blades also have specially designed sheaths, which recharge the blades as they’re sheathed. A full charge will last nearly 5 hours of straight usage, without needing to recharge. The sheaths are designed to match the hilt of the blades.

==== Bryar Pistol ====
[[File:Halc-bryar.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Halcyon's custom bryar pistol]]
Upon joining Taldryan, Halcyon became familiar with the use of the bryar pistol. Over time the weapon became a part of his regular arsenal along with a single lightsaber. Upon his most recent Dark Council re-joining, the Taldrya had a custom bryar pistol made for him. Unlike regular bryar's that are customized from a rifle, this weapon was designed from scratch for the intended use as a pistol. It still carries the signature look and feel of the weapon, but with the added reliability of a weapon made for a single purpose. The pistol's outer casing uses many of the same materials as Halcyon's current lightsaber. The blaster also fires bolts of green energy in both single and charged-forms.

==== Lightsabers ====
[[File:Halc-sabers.jpg|thumb|250px|right|Halcyon's Lightsabers]]
Halcyon has built four separate hilts during his career and each one survives to this day. His first lightsaber like many other new Dark Jedi Knights, is of a common design, taken from the Dark Brotherhood databanks. By using a treated yellow [[starwars:Adegan crystal|Adegan crystal]] provided by his Clan, the blade was of an orange-hue. The hilt of the blade was gold and black.

His second and third lightsabers are each similar in design and fashion. His second used a yellow Adegan crystal while his third used a blue Adegan. The hilts themselves were simplistic in nature, using materials found close at hand. However each blade had magnetic bottoms that could be activated by pushing in the little round bubble on the bottoms of the hilts. When put together, the blades turned into a [[double bladed lightsaber]]. A release button caused the lightsabers to detach.

With technical help from the [[Herald]] [[Muz]], Halcyon’s fourth hilt is his most complex to date. The hilt itself is a thin layer of [[starwars:Coruscant|Coruscanti]] marble wrapped around a hollowed [[starwars:durasteel|durasteel]] alloy bar. The marble finish has been dyed emerald. Using a green Adegan for the blade, Halcyon also had a [[starwars:Nextor|Nextor]] and [[starwars:Opila|Opila]] crystal incorporated as focusing crystals.

As a final culmination of his skills, Halcyon decided to forgo traditional blade methods. Receiving a vision of crystal-like beings, he searched them out and located them on the far off planet of [[starwars:Hurikane|Hurikane]], killing one of these beings and taking from it a perfect [[starwars:Hurrikaine crystal|purple crystal]]. Gutting his marble-hilt, Halcyon replaced his Adegan with this new crystal, as well as installing a much more powerful cell to power the entire unit. Using the force as guidance, he fine-tuned the mechanics, and upon activating it saw that he had created a nearly [[UV lightsabers|invisible blade]]. The blade exists as ultra-violet light, the power cell making the blade radiate much more heat than normal but draining the cell at a quicker rate as well.

Halcyon has since returned to a more traditional blade due to the increased need of his blade in battle. Although still having the components needed for a UV-blade, using a regular lightsaber blade is much more functional for longer periods of use. Slight adjustments were made to the blade itself, a darker hue and narrowing to a tip are the more noticeable changes from its previous incarnation.

}}'''Halcyon Taldrya''' is a veteran of the [[Dark Brotherhood]], learning the ways of the dark side for over a decade. His ultimate destination passed through many roads, from orphan to engineer; pilot to intelligence officer. His journey has also taken him through two families. Becoming a brother to [[Vassan Rokir]], he however learned of his actual family and the knowledge that his name was not just for show. He however dismissed the light, preferring the shadows and staying with the one place that had helped him grow.

Once depending solely on his skill with starfighters and other space-worthy vessels, Halcyon has slowly diversified himself over the years, learning and succeeding at covert operations as well as becoming adept at ground combat and mastering the use of the lightsaber. A long-time leader within the Brotherhood, Halcyon has held numerous positions including [[Combat Master]] and [[Deputy Grand Master]].

== Character History ==
=== Early Life ===
For the better part of his life, Halcyon was unaware of who his parents were or of any family. However, his past has opened up to him in recent years, filling in the one piece of his life that had always eluded him. Halcyon was born to a Jedi Master, Aerick Halcyon and his Corellian wife and [[starwars:CorSec|CorSec]] officer, Loira. He also had an older brother, Michael, who was almost four at the time of his birth. Born during the infancy of the Galactic Empire and the Jedi Purges, Halcyon’s family had hidden themselves in a monastery on Drall, one of the planets in the [[starwars:Corellian System|Corellian System]]. It was in this monastery where Loira gave birth to a second son, and also where they left that boy as they feared they would not be able to hide both force-sensitive children from the dreaded [[starwars:Darth Vader|Darth Vader]].

==== Keeping Safe ====
''17 BBY – 1 BBY''

His heritage hidden from him, Halcyon grew up in the monastery for 10 years, learning from the monks about the galaxy at large while he performed small errands throughout the complex. A Master Shipbuilder had come to the monastery on day, knowing it acted as a refuge for children without homes. Needing someone to perform menial tasks, as well as an apprentice to mold into his image, the Master Shipbuilder believed Halcyon to fit his needs and convinced the monks to transfer him to his care. For the next 6 years, Halcyon worked at one of the many space-docks in the Corellian System, learning the art of shipmaking while running various jobs for his Master.

However by the age of 16 Halcyon had grown tired of life in the space-dock and yearned for more. Although under the care of the Master Shipbuilder, Halcyon stowed away on a freighter that had docked for repairs. The freighter’s next destination was the Corporate Sector where he managed to sneak back out and used the knowledge he had learned the past few years to earn a job as an engineer on an old [[starwars:YT-1000 freighter|YT-1000 freighter]].

==== Living Life ====
''1 BBY – 15 ABY''

For the next 16 years Halcyon moved from sector to sector, job to job. Each time he made a new name for himself, starting fresh in his new surroundings. Although the galaxy went through numerous changes during this time, Halcyon stayed on the fringes, content to see and do as he pleased. During this time he had learned to fly, operate and maintain numerous fighters and freighters. He did not however have any long-tern friends, relationships or an actual home. That all changed when a freighter he piloted was to unload a shipment on a world called Aurora Prime. Upon landing, as he did on all planets, Halcyon took a tour of the main city. This time he became enthralled and felt a deep connection to this new place. Passing a recruitment office for the [http://www.ehtiecorps.org/ Tie Corps] of the [[Emperor's Hammer]], he took in all of the information he could. Finding the idea of using state of the art equipment as well as a more permanent home alluring, he applied on the spot, using the first name that seemed to come to mind, “Halcyon”.

=== The Emperor’s Hammer ===
==== Tie Corps ====
''9 ABY – 13 ABY''
[[File:Halcyonuniform.jpg|thumb|100px|right|Halcyon's Tie Corps Uniform when Wing Commander of Wing IV]]

Next to all of the other new trainees Halcyon was already quite old, but his past experiences helped him quickly move into a squadron. His career began on the flagship of the Emperor’s Hammer, the SSSD Sovereign in Wing IV as part of Yod squadron. His skill was immediately apparent and within a few months he was asked to join the Elite Intelligence Division squadron, Praetorian. Although tasked with being the Escort Squadron of the Supreme Director, the pilots in Praetorian were also given intensive special operations training, making them useful outside of their cockpit as well.

Having gone through a number of Tours of Duty with Praetorian and already a Major in the Tie Corps, Halcyon returned to Wing IV and eventually became Commander of Yod squadron. Yod proved to be one of the most dependable squadrons on the flagship during his time in command, successfully completing the bulk of their missions. Halcyon walked away from leadership as a Lieutenant Colonel, become a regular flight member once more. However he came back and became Wing Commander of Wing IV, restoring the Wing to a level of renown once more and earning him Colonel in the process.

==== Dark Brotherhood ====
''11 ABY – 13 ABY''
[[File:Halcyongoa.gif|thumb|150px|left|Halcyon's old Grant of Arms]]

Halcyon’s ability with a starfighter was well known to his squad mates in Praetorian, but his success on the ground was also outstanding. Urged by his friends Halcyon went to Eos and found that he was force sensitive. Wanting to develop those talents he joined the Dark Brotherhood and became a Sith, member of [[House Oriens Obscurum]] in [[Arcona|Clan Arcona]]. His powers quickly developed, earning the use of a lightsaber prior to the great [[Fourth Great Jedi War|Vendetta]] as well as cementing the name of Pandragon as one of the great Sith Battleteams, leading them from the moment he was an [[Proselyte|Acolyte]].

For all of his actions he was given the [[Quaestor]] position in Oriens Obscurum when his mentor, E. Tarkin, was elevated to [[Consul]] of Arcona. He also joined the [[Equite]] ranks at this time. After a successful term as Quaestor, Halcyon stepped down but was soon asked to be Aedile of the House and held that position under a succession of other Quaestor’s. During this time his powers continued to grow, managing to elevate himself to the rank of [[Sith Battlelord]] and a prominent member of the Clan.

==== Intelligence Division ====
''12 ABY – 13 ABY''

Although no longer a member of Praetorian, those in the Intelligence Division still kept their eyes on him. Supreme Director Jordynn was tasked to rebuild the ID as it had grown stagnant over time. Needing a skilled and sturdy hand she called upon Halcyon to take on the reins of the Bureau of Operations, giving him a new persona in the form of Major Gryph. Although there for only a very short while Halcyon re-organized the entire Bureau, strengthening both Branches and making it an effective organization once more. The Bureau was the best run at the time of his leaving, having been promoted to Lieutenant Colonel during the re-organization process. Halcyon was soon called back to duty with the ID and asked to join the secretive Bureau of Internal Organization.

In recent years Halcyon met and became a trusted friend of [[Syn Kaek]], a key mastermind behind the Intelligence Division at the same time Halcyon was a Bureau Director. It is also rumoured that Halcyon’s other persona may still be active and has perhaps been strengthened with his current association to the former Intel officer.

==== Injustice ====
''12 ABY''

Although a well known and popular pilot with others, Halcyon’s skill was also seen as a threat to many. During a flight competition in the Dark Brotherhood, evidence was planted against him by powerful forces in the Emperor’s Hammer, implicating him in various charges. Although evidence was found to exonerate him, the High Court of Inquisitors forbade additional evidence other than what was initially brought to them. Easily found guilty, Halcyon was stripped of his Tie Corps ranks and medals, as well as his Dark Brotherhood medals and his powers reverted back to that of a [[Novice]]. Seeing the hypocrisy of the Fleet, Halcyon focused his energies on the force instead. Such actions would make certain decision later on much simpler.

=== Exodus and Beyond ===
==== Rebirth ====
''13 ABY''

Perhaps the largest event in Dark Brotherhood history, the [[Exodus]] was a catalyst for many dark jedi at the time. Tearing away from the Emperor’s Hammer, decisions had to be made by all of those involved. For Halcyon, such a decision was simple as he left the EH behind, leaving many friends by knowing he was destined for more than to be a cog in a bureaucratic mess. During the confusion of the time, Halcyon took the reigns of House Oriens Obscurum once more, his past abilities needed to help steady a group in turmoil.

With a new beginning for everyone, Halcyon brought his case before the Grand Master and the newly created [[Chamber of Justice]]. Seeing the previous injustice wrought upon him, the leaders of the Dark Brotherhood re-instated Halcyon to the rank of Sith Battlelord as well as returned all of his previous medals.

==== Growth ====
''13 ABY – 17 ABY''

With a new beginning for Dark Brotherhood Halcyon also decided to test new waters. With the position of [[Commander of the Guard]] opening he applied and was awarded the job. As he brought together a new group of Grand Master’s Royal Guards, he was also pushed to his own physical limits, the training involved much more than what he was ever accustomed too. Halcyon’s body went from that of a pilot to one of a true warrior. After completing the longest single-term as CoG, Halcyon stepped down and was elevated to the [[Elder]] ranks for his efforts.

Having made the leap into the world of the [[Obelisk]], Halcyon next found himself a part of a once “Krath” organization, the [[Antei Combat Center]]. Taking on the role of second-in-command, Halcyon proved himself adept at handling the duties of the Center, as well as becoming a successful participant himself.

==== Responsibility ====
''17 ABY – 19 ABY''

Returning to Arcona after his stint on the Dark Council, Halcyon turned his attentions to helping the Clan continue its growth. Beginning with [[Aedile]] of [[Qel-Droma]], Halcyon took increasing positions of prominence within the Clan. It was also during this time that Halcyon began a part of a true family, his friend [[Vassan Rokir|Vassan]] adopting him as a “brother” into the [[Rokir|Rokir family]], a family known for a legacy of architecture and building, talents Halcyon carried relating to starships and fighters. Although since having removed the name "Rokir" from official records, he still views Vassan as a brother-in-arms and will stand by his side should it ever be needed.

Such responsibilities finally culminated as Consul of Arcona, a position he held for a short while before the politics of the position caused him to step down and clear his head away from the Clan itself. However Halcyon couldn’t stay away for long, called back to once again help his home. Helping House Oriens Obscurum he was finally thrust once more into the seat of Consul, preparing the Clan for a great war in the Dark Brotherhood. Although many bickering forces threatened to split the Clan apart, cohesion was held and Arcona weathered what would be called the [[Seventh Great Jedi War]]. Before the war began Halcyon was elevated to the esteemed rank of [[Dark Jedi Master]] with powers that saw him successfully lead his Clan.

==== Changing Pace ====
''19 ABY – 20 ABY''

With the culmination of the war, Halcyon once again found himself yearning for more. Having spent his entire time in Clan Arcona, he felt he no longer had any room for growth, deciding to leave his home and venture to the [[Taldryan|Clan Taldryan]]. There he hoped to truly expand his powers and train in both body and mind against and unfamiliar yet powerful Clan. Only through pushing his limits would Halcyon achieve his full potential.

Halcyon also finally came face to face with his past, learning of his heritage as an actual “Halcyon”, his brother being the traitorous Jedi Master [[Michael Halcyon]]. However, he has rejected such ties, keeping himself away from the other Halcyon Jedi, most of who fight for the [[starwars:New Republic|New Republic]].

Upon stepping down from Consul, Halcyon was given the opportunity to work alongside Syn Kaek as his [[Praetor]], much of his time then spent on [[Antei]] instead of in his “new” home. After numerous months Kaek decided to venture into the unknown, leaving Halcyon as the new [[Master at Arms]]. Taking on these new responsibilities, he had to give up his duties as Deputy Combat Master and took a more permanent residence in the [[Dark Hall]]. Continuing from where Kaek had left Halcyon continued with the re-organization of the MAA office, butting heads with many around the Dark Brotherhood, but ensuring a set of standards were in place.

==== Turmoil ====
''20 ABY - 21 ABY''

As long-time [[Grand Master]] [[Jac Cotelin]] decided to step down from his position, the elevation of [[Sarin]] to Grand Master left a void in the [[Dark Council]]. Halcyon was asked to become the next [[Deputy Grand Master]], a position he readily accepted. However, beset by those who had nothing left to offer the Dark Brotherhood, Halcyon's time as second-in-command was tumultuous. However, a [[Second Darkness|Rite of Supremacy]] devoid of Order was successfully run, weeding the weak and allowing the strong to rise to prominence. Named a [[Sith Lord|Lord of the Sith]], his time as DGM still soured him, his resignation announced immediately following the end of the RoS.

At the same moment [[Dalthid]] had decided to lessen his time in the ACC, opening up the spot of Combat Master. Halcyon was asked to take over, one of the few with the knowledge and skill necessary to run the complicated operations. With much of the politics of the Dark Brotherhood removed from ACC operations, Halcyon accepted the new position.

[[File:Halcyonpic.jpg|thumb|150px|left|Halcyon in his ACC combat clothing]]

==== New Status Quo ====
''21 ABY - 24 ABY''

Accepting his new position, Halcyon had also decided on once again joining a Clan, returning to the only place that felt anything like a home to him. With the permission of the Consul, Halcyon was once again a member of [[House Dinaari]] in Clan Taldryan, just as the [[Eighth Great Jedi War|Force-devoid Aliens attacked]] the unsuspecting Dark Brotherhood. For the next week Halcyon and the rest of his Clan fled into the Shroud, battling off their pursuers as they reached Antei itself. Reaching the home of their Brotherhood, Halcyon saw flashes of what was to come, and what may be. Although in the middle of a heated battle Halcyon left his Clan to ensure the continued survival of the ACC, journeying to Antei and retrieving the necessary tools to help re-build.

Bringing stability to the ACC once more he has passed on the reins of leadership to others, planning to slowly move into the background. Yet with the sudden resignation of his Consul, [[Duga Taldrya Arkarso|Duga]], a new door had opened for the veteran Sith. Although previous stints as Consul had left a bitter taste in his mouth, even to this day, the opportunity to lead Taldryan was one he could not pass up. With agreement from the Grandmaster, Deputy Grand Master and Duga himself, Halcyon was given control of Taldryan as its new Consul.

Although Consul for less than a year, Halcyon fought to keep Taldryan the sea of stability that always characterized it. During his reign the [[Rybanloth System]] was overrun by pirates and a task force led by his Proconsul, Chaosrain, took the System back. New plans of action were implemented to ensure Taldryan's sister-system was given the same level of protection and prominence as any other system in the Dark Brotherhood would hold. Stepping down as Consul, Halcyon returned to his own personal studies, before being asked once more to step into another leadership role.

==== Old Ways; New Change ====
''24 ABY - 25 ABY''

Having spent years as part of the Antei Combat Center, Halcyon had noticed its recent decline since he was last a part of its staff. Taking his concerns to the Dark Council, he was asked to take the reigns of Combat Master once more. Years of leadership and dealing with the personal aspirations of many others had taken their toll, but he set aside such misgivings to rebuild the ACC foundation. Long-time Combat Master Dalthid also joined, ensuring the Center would find it's lustre once more. With clouds of war gathering on the horizon it was decided that the Center would once more focus on ensuring the newest dark jedi in the Brotherhood's fold would be given the chance to prove their worth to the organization. Their blades would be needed for what was to come.

As the ACC regained it's legs, [[Ninth Great Jedi War|War]] was upon them once more. Grand Master [[Sarin|Sarin's]] vision of re-taking Antei had finally come to pass, the entire Brotherhood called into action to ensure its success. The enemy they faced was not what they had expected, the Alien threat replaced with a band of Jedi unknown to the rest of the Brotherhood or the Galaxy at large. The Brotherhood was ultimately victorious, taking their home back, but at the cost of their Grand Master's life and countless others. Although Taldryan had shown once more they were not to be trifled with, it was Halcyon's former Clan, Arcona, who had proved themselves the true power during the invasion. For Halcyon himself the time had shown that he wished to once more step away from leadership, his dealings with those "on the ground" showing that was where he currently belonged. Stepping down as Combat Master Halcyon turned to focus on his own studies. It did not take long for the Elder to be thrust into leadership, [[Shadow Taldrya|Shadow's]] departure leaving the Clan rudderless. Stepping in on a temporary basis Halcyon smoothed over the operations of the Clan, taking on [[Vodo Biask Taldrya|Vodo]] as his Proconsul. He stayed on for only a few months, ensuring the Clan had a firm foundation once more before turning the Clan over to the Twi'lek.

==== For the Brotherhood ====
''25 ABY - 30 ABY''

Halcyon had finally managed to extract himself from the day-to-day operations of the Brotherhood, taking time for himself to travel the galaxy. Although adventures abounded, he once more returned to the DB. Although not immediately taking up a leadership role, he did offer his services in an advisory role to the Grand Master, while also playing a role in the near-victory for Taldryan during the [[Spoils of War|taking of Salas V]]. A restructuring of the Dark Council led the Sith back onto the main body of the Brotherhood, becoming the first [[Voice of the Brotherhood]]. He spent much of this time travelling to the various Star Systems that fell under the banner of the Brotherhood, bringing the word of the Grand Master. With the disappearance of Darth Sarin, Halcyon was called upon to take on the mantle of Deputy Grand Master for a second time. He immediately set to work on a new Coliseum for use during the next [[Independence Games]] while finding a new source of income for the Brotherhood. [[Tempest Omega|Operation Tempest Omega]] succeeded in finding that new source of funding for the Brotherhood, after its previous source had been broken. Utilizing a "Retreat" built on [[starwars:Osarian|Osarian]] for the super-wealthy, the Dark Brotherhood is now able to secure large sums of funds while also able to discreetly hide all other forms of business behind their more legitimate practices.

[[File:GreatjediwarXmichaelgonbedead.png|thumb|right|200px|Halcyon and his brother Michael commence their final duel.]]
The [[Independence_Games#Independence Games IV (2011)|Fourth Independence Games]] were successful, but a long-simmering feud was to come to a head. After months of discussion, the [[Tenth Great Jedi War|Invasion of New Tython]] was declared. Although what was to be a clear-cut victory was instead a hard-fought battle as [[Odan-Urr]] had allies in the form of Rokir's estranged brother, Michael Halcyon and a band of [[starwars:Mandalorian|Mandalorian]] mercenaries. In the end [[New Tython]] was brought under the heel of the Brotherhood, and Halcyon had killed his brother Michael in a climatic duel. Shortly thereafter a brother-in-arms also found death. [[Syn Kaek]], on a mission known only to himself, was killed. The remainder of his belongings found their way to Halcyon's desk, with no way to trace how they arrived. Halcyon has vowed to take revenge on those who stole his friends life and he keeps the remaining tokens close at hand.

For a brief moment it appeared that stability beginning to take a hold, after so much death and destruction had occurred during Halcyon's time on the Council. It was just an illusion as the Brotherhood's past came roaring back in the form of former [[Zoraan|Grand Master Zoraan]]. Presumed dead, Zoraan sought to reclaim the [[Iron Throne]] utilizing an impressive fleet as well as a new bioweapon. The crisis, which has come to be known as [[Horizons]], sent all Clans and Houses back on their heels. Halcyon, along with what forces remained on [[Antei]], fought back against the usurpers and were ultimately successful, although not before a great toll had been taken. Tired of the personal price that had been extracted from him, Halcyon stepped away from the Dark Council and the various responsibilities that had been his burden.

==== Back in the Home ====
''30 ABY - ''

Time after stepping down from DGM

== Miscellaneous Descriptions ==
=== Physical ===
[[File:Halcyon Robes v2.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Current robes worn by Halcyon]]
Halcyon stands at 1.8 meters, weighing nearly 82 kilograms. Although once having the perfect “pilot’s” body, he has since added well defined musculature to his frame which he keeps finely honed through much training. His most striking features are his hair and eyes, both a deep emerald in color. Such color is natural, although it has never been known how such coloring occurred. One theory that has been suggested is Halcyon’s path to the dark side when compared to all other force-sensitive Halcyon’s going to the light. Such rejection may have contributed to a rejection of regular physical features as well. Regardless, Halcyon wears his hair long and normally has it tied tightly at the back. He also keeps a neatly trimmed goatee.

====Custom Robes====
During his reign as Voice of the Brotherhood, Halcyon had a new set of robes designed for him that were not just for show. Although the colour scheme was maintained, all of the material was upgraded to be effective during the heat of battle. The tunic, pants and cloak are all made from [[starwars:armorweave|armorweave]] while the chest, legs and forearm plating are made from [[starwars:durasteel|durasteel]]. A less-armoured version of these robes are used on a day-to-day basis. The armorweave is replaced with [[starwars:zeyd-cloth|zeyd-cloth]] and the durasteel with hardened [[starwars:corellian leather|corellian leather]]. Only during formal occasions or in times of battle will the armoured-robes be used.

=== Personality ===
Being so in tune with the dark side causes many dark jedi to be twisted by such powers, forming many split personalities, psychosis or very angry and destructive personalities. Halcyon however has managed to overcome or bypass such tendencies. Having experienced and seen much prior to developing his force powers Halcyon has been able to keep his head and push through the more psychotic tendencies, even while delving deeper into such strange and powerful forces.

It is only during battle that Halcyon reverts to a more destructive form, forgoing compassion and restraint focusing instead on victory and completing the task at hand. Outside of that, Halcyon is normally easy-going with those he considers friends and acquaintances, although many others can see him as unemotional or detached, his face normally inscrutable in public.

With those he considers friends however he is much more relaxed and at ease. It is a far cry from how he holds himself in public with only a select few really seeing that side of his personality.

=== Weapons ===
==== Custom Vibroblades ====
[[File:Vibroblade.jpg|thumb|150px|right|One blade]]

These intricately made blades are each 20 centimetres long. The entire weapon is perfectly balanced, allowing for ease of use. Although untraditional in style, these vibroblades were made to withstand the rigors of battle. The hilts contain the power core, as well as specially modified sound dampeners. The vibrations no longer emit noise from the blades. The blades also have specially designed sheaths, which recharge the blades as they’re sheathed. A full charge will last nearly 5 hours of straight usage, without needing to recharge. The sheaths are designed to match the hilt of the blades.

==== Bryar Pistol ====
[[File:Halc-bryar.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Halcyon's custom bryar pistol]]
Upon joining Taldryan, Halcyon became familiar with the use of the bryar pistol. Over time the weapon became a part of his regular arsenal along with a single lightsaber. Upon his most recent Dark Council re-joining, the Taldrya had a custom bryar pistol made for him. Unlike regular bryar's that are customized from a rifle, this weapon was designed from scratch for the intended use as a pistol. It still carries the signature look and feel of the weapon, but with the added reliability of a weapon made for a single purpose. The pistol's outer casing uses many of the same materials as Halcyon's current lightsaber. The blaster also fires bolts of green energy in both single and charged-forms.

==== Lightsabers ====
[[File:Halc-sabers.jpg|thumb|250px|right|Halcyon's Lightsabers]]
Halcyon has built four separate hilts during his career and each one survives to this day. His first lightsaber like many other new Dark Jedi Knights, is of a common design, taken from the Dark Brotherhood databanks. By using a treated yellow [[starwars:Adegan crystal|Adegan crystal]] provided by his Clan, the blade was of an orange-hue. The hilt of the blade was gold and black.

His second and third lightsabers are each similar in design and fashion. His second used a yellow Adegan crystal while his third used a blue Adegan. The hilts themselves were simplistic in nature, using materials found close at hand. However each blade had magnetic bottoms that could be activated by pushing in the little round bubble on the bottoms of the hilts. When put together, the blades turned into a [[double bladed lightsaber]]. A release button caused the lightsabers to detach.

With technical help from the [[Herald]] [[Muz]], Halcyon’s fourth hilt is his most complex to date. The hilt itself is a thin layer of [[starwars:Coruscant|Coruscanti]] marble wrapped around a hollowed [[starwars:durasteel|durasteel]] alloy bar. The marble finish has been dyed emerald. Using a green Adegan for the blade, Halcyon also had a [[starwars:Nextor|Nextor]] and [[starwars:Opila|Opila]] crystal incorporated as focusing crystals.

As a final culmination of his skills, Halcyon decided to forgo traditional blade methods. Receiving a vision of crystal-like beings, he searched them out and located them on the far off planet of [[starwars:Hurikane|Hurikane]], killing one of these beings and taking from it a perfect [[starwars:Hurrikaine crystal|purple crystal]]. Gutting his marble-hilt, Halcyon replaced his Adegan with this new crystal, as well as installing a much more powerful cell to power the entire unit. Using the force as guidance, he fine-tuned the mechanics, and upon activating it saw that he had created a nearly [[UV lightsabers|invisible blade]]. The blade exists as ultra-violet light, the power cell making the blade radiate much more heat than normal but draining the cell at a quicker rate as well.

Halcyon has since returned to a more traditional blade due to the increased need of his blade in battle. Although still having the components needed for a UV-blade, using a regular lightsaber blade is much more functional for longer periods of use. Slight adjustments were made to the blade itself, a darker hue and narrowing to a tip are the more noticeable changes from its previous incarnation.

===Medal Awarding===
Medals will be awarded based on XP earned since the last '''medal''', plus any non-site-tracked activity (project, leadership.) Medals do no “consume” XP, but do reset the member’s XP-since-last-'''medal'''.

Leaders can award medals with a '''value less than or equal''' to a member’s accrued XP-since-last-medal without further justification. Medals with a value '''less than or equal''' to accrued XP-since-last-medal do '''not grant XP''' to the receiving member.

If a member has non-site-tracked activity that leaders want to recognize with a medal, with or without site-tracked activity, they will submit a medal recommendation for approval by the MAA detailing what that member has done – much like the current system.

If the approved medal '''exceeds''' the member’s accrued XP-since-last-'''medal''', then the medal '''will grant XP''' equal to the difference between the medal’s value and the member’s accrued XP-since-last-recognition.

}}'''Halcyon Taldrya''' is a veteran of the [[Dark Brotherhood]], learning the ways of the dark side for over a decade. His ultimate destination passed through many roads, from orphan to engineer; pilot to intelligence officer. His journey has also taken him through two families. Becoming a brother to [[Vassan Rokir]], he however learned of his actual family and the knowledge that his name was not just for show. He however dismissed the light, preferring the shadows and staying with the one place that had helped him grow.

Once depending solely on his skill with starfighters and other space-worthy vessels, Halcyon has slowly diversified himself over the years, learning and succeeding at covert operations as well as becoming adept at ground combat and mastering the use of the lightsaber. A long-time leader within the Brotherhood, Halcyon has held numerous positions including [[Combat Master]] and [[Deputy Grand Master]].

== Character History ==
=== Early Life ===
For the better part of his life, Halcyon was unaware of who his parents were or of any family. However, his past has opened up to him in recent years, filling in the one piece of his life that had always eluded him. Halcyon was born to a Jedi Master, Aerick Halcyon and his Corellian wife and [[starwars:CorSec|CorSec]] officer, Loira. He also had an older brother, Michael, who was almost four at the time of his birth. Born during the infancy of the Galactic Empire and the Jedi Purges, Halcyon’s family had hidden themselves in a monastery on Drall, one of the planets in the [[starwars:Corellian System|Corellian System]]. It was in this monastery where Loira gave birth to a second son, and also where they left that boy as they feared they would not be able to hide both force-sensitive children from the dreaded [[starwars:Darth Vader|Darth Vader]].

==== Keeping Safe ====
''17 BBY – 1 BBY''

His heritage hidden from him, Halcyon grew up in the monastery for 10 years, learning from the monks about the galaxy at large while he performed small errands throughout the complex. A Master Shipbuilder had come to the monastery on day, knowing it acted as a refuge for children without homes. Needing someone to perform menial tasks, as well as an apprentice to mold into his image, the Master Shipbuilder believed Halcyon to fit his needs and convinced the monks to transfer him to his care. For the next 6 years, Halcyon worked at one of the many space-docks in the Corellian System, learning the art of shipmaking while running various jobs for his Master.

However by the age of 16 Halcyon had grown tired of life in the space-dock and yearned for more. Although under the care of the Master Shipbuilder, Halcyon stowed away on a freighter that had docked for repairs. The freighter’s next destination was the Corporate Sector where he managed to sneak back out and used the knowledge he had learned the past few years to earn a job as an engineer on an old [[starwars:YT-1000 freighter|YT-1000 freighter]].

==== Living Life ====
''1 BBY – 15 ABY''

For the next 16 years Halcyon moved from sector to sector, job to job. Each time he made a new name for himself, starting fresh in his new surroundings. Although the galaxy went through numerous changes during this time, Halcyon stayed on the fringes, content to see and do as he pleased. During this time he had learned to fly, operate and maintain numerous fighters and freighters. He did not however have any long-tern friends, relationships or an actual home. That all changed when a freighter he piloted was to unload a shipment on a world called Aurora Prime. Upon landing, as he did on all planets, Halcyon took a tour of the main city. This time he became enthralled and felt a deep connection to this new place. Passing a recruitment office for the [http://www.ehtiecorps.org/ Tie Corps] of the [[Emperor's Hammer]], he took in all of the information he could. Finding the idea of using state of the art equipment as well as a more permanent home alluring, he applied on the spot, using the first name that seemed to come to mind, “Halcyon”.

=== The Emperor’s Hammer ===
==== Tie Corps ====
''9 ABY – 13 ABY''
[[File:Halcyonuniform.jpg|thumb|100px|right|Halcyon's Tie Corps Uniform when Wing Commander of Wing IV]]

Next to all of the other new trainees Halcyon was already quite old, but his past experiences helped him quickly move into a squadron. His career began on the flagship of the Emperor’s Hammer, the SSSD Sovereign in Wing IV as part of Yod squadron. His skill was immediately apparent and within a few months he was asked to join the Elite Intelligence Division squadron, Praetorian. Although tasked with being the Escort Squadron of the Supreme Director, the pilots in Praetorian were also given intensive special operations training, making them useful outside of their cockpit as well.

Having gone through a number of Tours of Duty with Praetorian and already a Major in the Tie Corps, Halcyon returned to Wing IV and eventually became Commander of Yod squadron. Yod proved to be one of the most dependable squadrons on the flagship during his time in command, successfully completing the bulk of their missions. Halcyon walked away from leadership as a Lieutenant Colonel, become a regular flight member once more. However he came back and became Wing Commander of Wing IV, restoring the Wing to a level of renown once more and earning him Colonel in the process.

==== Dark Brotherhood ====
''11 ABY – 13 ABY''
[[File:Halcyongoa.gif|thumb|150px|left|Halcyon's old Grant of Arms]]

Halcyon’s ability with a starfighter was well known to his squad mates in Praetorian, but his success on the ground was also outstanding. Urged by his friends Halcyon went to Eos and found that he was force sensitive. Wanting to develop those talents he joined the Dark Brotherhood and became a Sith, member of [[House Oriens Obscurum]] in [[Arcona|Clan Arcona]]. His powers quickly developed, earning the use of a lightsaber prior to the great [[Fourth Great Jedi War|Vendetta]] as well as cementing the name of Pandragon as one of the great Sith Battleteams, leading them from the moment he was an [[Proselyte|Acolyte]].

For all of his actions he was given the [[Quaestor]] position in Oriens Obscurum when his mentor, E. Tarkin, was elevated to [[Consul]] of Arcona. He also joined the [[Equite]] ranks at this time. After a successful term as Quaestor, Halcyon stepped down but was soon asked to be Aedile of the House and held that position under a succession of other Quaestor’s. During this time his powers continued to grow, managing to elevate himself to the rank of [[Sith Battlelord]] and a prominent member of the Clan.

==== Intelligence Division ====
''12 ABY – 13 ABY''

Although no longer a member of Praetorian, those in the Intelligence Division still kept their eyes on him. Supreme Director Jordynn was tasked to rebuild the ID as it had grown stagnant over time. Needing a skilled and sturdy hand she called upon Halcyon to take on the reins of the Bureau of Operations, giving him a new persona in the form of Major Gryph. Although there for only a very short while Halcyon re-organized the entire Bureau, strengthening both Branches and making it an effective organization once more. The Bureau was the best run at the time of his leaving, having been promoted to Lieutenant Colonel during the re-organization process. Halcyon was soon called back to duty with the ID and asked to join the secretive Bureau of Internal Organization.

In recent years Halcyon met and became a trusted friend of [[Syn Kaek]], a key mastermind behind the Intelligence Division at the same time Halcyon was a Bureau Director. It is also rumoured that Halcyon’s other persona may still be active and has perhaps been strengthened with his current association to the former Intel officer.

==== Injustice ====
''12 ABY''

Although a well known and popular pilot with others, Halcyon’s skill was also seen as a threat to many. During a flight competition in the Dark Brotherhood, evidence was planted against him by powerful forces in the Emperor’s Hammer, implicating him in various charges. Although evidence was found to exonerate him, the High Court of Inquisitors forbade additional evidence other than what was initially brought to them. Easily found guilty, Halcyon was stripped of his Tie Corps ranks and medals, as well as his Dark Brotherhood medals and his powers reverted back to that of a [[Novice]]. Seeing the hypocrisy of the Fleet, Halcyon focused his energies on the force instead. Such actions would make certain decision later on much simpler.

=== Exodus and Beyond ===
==== Rebirth ====
''13 ABY''

Perhaps the largest event in Dark Brotherhood history, the [[Exodus]] was a catalyst for many dark jedi at the time. Tearing away from the Emperor’s Hammer, decisions had to be made by all of those involved. For Halcyon, such a decision was simple as he left the EH behind, leaving many friends by knowing he was destined for more than to be a cog in a bureaucratic mess. During the confusion of the time, Halcyon took the reigns of House Oriens Obscurum once more, his past abilities needed to help steady a group in turmoil.

With a new beginning for everyone, Halcyon brought his case before the Grand Master and the newly created [[Chamber of Justice]]. Seeing the previous injustice wrought upon him, the leaders of the Dark Brotherhood re-instated Halcyon to the rank of Sith Battlelord as well as returned all of his previous medals.

==== Growth ====
''13 ABY – 17 ABY''

With a new beginning for Dark Brotherhood Halcyon also decided to test new waters. With the position of [[Commander of the Guard]] opening he applied and was awarded the job. As he brought together a new group of Grand Master’s Royal Guards, he was also pushed to his own physical limits, the training involved much more than what he was ever accustomed too. Halcyon’s body went from that of a pilot to one of a true warrior. After completing the longest single-term as CoG, Halcyon stepped down and was elevated to the [[Elder]] ranks for his efforts.

Having made the leap into the world of the [[Obelisk]], Halcyon next found himself a part of a once “Krath” organization, the [[Antei Combat Center]]. Taking on the role of second-in-command, Halcyon proved himself adept at handling the duties of the Center, as well as becoming a successful participant himself.

==== Responsibility ====
''17 ABY – 19 ABY''

Returning to Arcona after his stint on the Dark Council, Halcyon turned his attentions to helping the Clan continue its growth. Beginning with [[Aedile]] of [[Qel-Droma]], Halcyon took increasing positions of prominence within the Clan. It was also during this time that Halcyon began a part of a true family, his friend [[Vassan Rokir|Vassan]] adopting him as a “brother” into the [[Rokir|Rokir family]], a family known for a legacy of architecture and building, talents Halcyon carried relating to starships and fighters. Although since having removed the name "Rokir" from official records, he still views Vassan as a brother-in-arms and will stand by his side should it ever be needed.

Such responsibilities finally culminated as Consul of Arcona, a position he held for a short while before the politics of the position caused him to step down and clear his head away from the Clan itself. However Halcyon couldn’t stay away for long, called back to once again help his home. Helping House Oriens Obscurum he was finally thrust once more into the seat of Consul, preparing the Clan for a great war in the Dark Brotherhood. Although many bickering forces threatened to split the Clan apart, cohesion was held and Arcona weathered what would be called the [[Seventh Great Jedi War]]. Before the war began Halcyon was elevated to the esteemed rank of [[Dark Jedi Master]] with powers that saw him successfully lead his Clan.

==== Changing Pace ====
''19 ABY – 20 ABY''

With the culmination of the war, Halcyon once again found himself yearning for more. Having spent his entire time in Clan Arcona, he felt he no longer had any room for growth, deciding to leave his home and venture to the [[Taldryan|Clan Taldryan]]. There he hoped to truly expand his powers and train in both body and mind against and unfamiliar yet powerful Clan. Only through pushing his limits would Halcyon achieve his full potential.

Halcyon also finally came face to face with his past, learning of his heritage as an actual “Halcyon”, his brother being the traitorous Jedi Master [[Michael Halcyon]]. However, he has rejected such ties, keeping himself away from the other Halcyon Jedi, most of who fight for the [[starwars:New Republic|New Republic]].

Upon stepping down from Consul, Halcyon was given the opportunity to work alongside Syn Kaek as his [[Praetor]], much of his time then spent on [[Antei]] instead of in his “new” home. After numerous months Kaek decided to venture into the unknown, leaving Halcyon as the new [[Master at Arms]]. Taking on these new responsibilities, he had to give up his duties as Deputy Combat Master and took a more permanent residence in the [[Dark Hall]]. Continuing from where Kaek had left Halcyon continued with the re-organization of the MAA office, butting heads with many around the Dark Brotherhood, but ensuring a set of standards were in place.

==== Turmoil ====
''20 ABY - 21 ABY''

As long-time [[Grand Master]] [[Jac Cotelin]] decided to step down from his position, the elevation of [[Sarin]] to Grand Master left a void in the [[Dark Council]]. Halcyon was asked to become the next [[Deputy Grand Master]], a position he readily accepted. However, beset by those who had nothing left to offer the Dark Brotherhood, Halcyon's time as second-in-command was tumultuous. However, a [[Second Darkness|Rite of Supremacy]] devoid of Order was successfully run, weeding the weak and allowing the strong to rise to prominence. Named a [[Sith Lord|Lord of the Sith]], his time as DGM still soured him, his resignation announced immediately following the end of the RoS.

At the same moment [[Dalthid]] had decided to lessen his time in the ACC, opening up the spot of Combat Master. Halcyon was asked to take over, one of the few with the knowledge and skill necessary to run the complicated operations. With much of the politics of the Dark Brotherhood removed from ACC operations, Halcyon accepted the new position.

[[File:Halcyonpic.jpg|thumb|150px|left|Halcyon in his ACC combat clothing]]

==== New Status Quo ====
''21 ABY - 24 ABY''

Accepting his new position, Halcyon had also decided on once again joining a Clan, returning to the only place that felt anything like a home to him. With the permission of the Consul, Halcyon was once again a member of [[House Dinaari]] in Clan Taldryan, just as the [[Eighth Great Jedi War|Yuuzhan Vong attacked]] the unsuspecting Dark Brotherhood. For the next week Halcyon and the rest of his Clan fled into the Shroud, battling off their pursuers as they reached Antei itself. Reaching the home of their Brotherhood, Halcyon saw flashes of what was to come, and what may be. Although in the middle of a heated battle Halcyon left his Clan to ensure the continued survival of the ACC, journeying to Antei and retrieving the necessary tools to help re-build.

Bringing stability to the ACC once more he has passed on the reins of leadership to others, planning to slowly move into the background. Yet with the sudden resignation of his Consul, [[Duga Taldrya Arkarso|Duga]], a new door had opened for the veteran Sith. Although previous stints as Consul had left a bitter taste in his mouth, even to this day, the opportunity to lead Taldryan was one he could not pass up. With agreement from the Grandmaster, Deputy Grand Master and Duga himself, Halcyon was given control of Taldryan as its new Consul.

Although Consul for less than a year, Halcyon fought to keep Taldryan the sea of stability that always characterized it. During his reign the [[Rybanloth System]] was overrun by pirates and a task force led by his Proconsul, Chaosrain, took the System back. New plans of action were implemented to ensure Taldryan's sister-system was given the same level of protection and prominence as any other system in the Dark Brotherhood would hold. Stepping down as Consul, Halcyon returned to his own personal studies, before being asked once more to step into another leadership role.

==== Old Ways; New Change ====
''24 ABY - 25 ABY''

Having spent years as part of the Antei Combat Center, Halcyon had noticed its recent decline since he was last a part of its staff. Taking his concerns to the Dark Council, he was asked to take the reigns of Combat Master once more. Years of leadership and dealing with the personal aspirations of many others had taken their toll, but he set aside such misgivings to rebuild the ACC foundation. Long-time Combat Master Dalthid also joined, ensuring the Center would find it's lustre once more. With clouds of war gathering on the horizon it was decided that the Center would once more focus on ensuring the newest dark jedi in the Brotherhood's fold would be given the chance to prove their worth to the organization. Their blades would be needed for what was to come.

As the ACC regained it's legs, [[Ninth Great Jedi War|War]] was upon them once more. Grand Master [[Sarin|Sarin's]] vision of re-taking Antei had finally come to pass, the entire Brotherhood called into action to ensure its success. The enemy they faced was not what they had expected, the Vong threat replaced with a band of jedi unknown to the rest of the Brotherhood or the Galaxy at large. The Brotherhood was ultimately victorious, taking their home back, but at the cost of their Grand Master's life and countless others. Although Taldryan had shown once more they were not to be trifled with, it was Halcyon's former Clan, Arcona, who had proved themselves the true power during the invasion. For Halcyon himself the time had shown that he wished to once more step away from leadership, his dealings with those "on the ground" showing that was where he currently belonged. Stepping down as Combat Master Halcyon turned to focus on his own studies. It did not take long for the Elder to be thrust into leadership, [[Shadow Taldrya|Shadow's]] departure leaving the Clan rudderless. Stepping in on a temporary basis Halcyon smoothed over the operations of the Clan, taking on [[Vodo Biask Taldrya|Vodo]] as his Proconsul. He stayed on for only a few months, ensuring the Clan had a firm foundation once more before turning the Clan over to the Twi'lek.

==== For the Brotherhood ====
''25 ABY - 30 ABY''

Halcyon had finally managed to extract himself from the day-to-day operations of the Brotherhood, taking time for himself to travel the galaxy. Although adventures abounded, he once more returned to the DB. Although not immediately taking up a leadership role, he did offer his services in an advisory role to the Grand Master, while also playing a role in the near-victory for Taldryan during the [[Spoils of War|taking of Salas V]]. A restructuring of the Dark Council led the Sith back onto the main body of the Brotherhood, becoming the first [[Voice of the Brotherhood]]. He spent much of this time travelling to the various Star Systems that fell under the banner of the Brotherhood, bringing the word of the Grand Master. With the disappearance of Darth Sarin, Halcyon was called upon to take on the mantle of Deputy Grand Master for a second time. He immediately set to work on a new Coliseum for use during the next [[Independence Games]] while finding a new source of income for the Brotherhood. [[Tempest Omega|Operation Tempest Omega]] succeeded in finding that new source of funding for the Brotherhood, after its previous source had been broken. Utilizing a "Retreat" built on [[starwars:Osarian|Osarian]] for the super-wealthy, the Dark Brotherhood is now able to secure large sums of funds while also able to discreetly hide all other forms of business behind their more legitimate practices.

[[File:GreatjediwarXmichaelgonbedead.png|thumb|right|200px|Halcyon and his brother Michael commence their final duel.]]
The [[Independence_Games#Independence Games IV (2011)|Fourth Independence Games]] were successful, but a long-simmering feud was to come to a head. After months of discussion, the [[Tenth Great Jedi War|Invasion of New Tython]] was declared. Although what was to be a clear-cut victory was instead a hard-fought battle as [[Odan-Urr]] had allies in the form of Rokir's estranged brother, Michael Halcyon and a band of [[starwars:Mandalorian|Mandalorian]] mercenaries. In the end [[New Tython]] was brought under the heel of the Brotherhood, and Halcyon had killed his brother Michael in a climatic duel. Shortly thereafter a brother-in-arms also found death. [[Syn Kaek]], on a mission known only to himself, was killed. The remainder of his belongings found their way to Halcyon's desk, with no way to trace how they arrived. Halcyon has vowed to take revenge on those who stole his friends life and he keeps the remaining tokens close at hand.

For a brief moment it appeared that stability beginning to take a hold, after so much death and destruction had occurred during Halcyon's time on the Council. It was just an illusion as the Brotherhood's past came roaring back in the form of former [[Zoraan|Grand Master Zoraan]]. Presumed dead, Zoraan sought to reclaim the [[Iron Throne]] utilizing an impressive fleet as well as a new bioweapon. The crisis, which has come to be known as [[Horizons]], sent all Clans and Houses back on their heels. Halcyon, along with what forces remained on [[Antei]], fought back against the usurpers and were ultimately successful, although not before a great toll had been taken. Tired of the personal price that had been extracted from him, Halcyon stepped away from the Dark Council and the various responsibilities that had been his burden.

==== Back in the Home ====
''30 ABY - ''

Time after stepping down from DGM

== Miscellaneous Descriptions ==
=== Physical ===
[[File:Halcyon Robes v2.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Current robes worn by Halcyon]]
Halcyon stands at 1.8 meters, weighing nearly 82 kilograms. Although once having the perfect “pilot’s” body, he has since added well defined musculature to his frame which he keeps finely honed through much training. His most striking features are his hair and eyes, both a deep emerald in color. Such color is natural, although it has never been known how such coloring occurred. One theory that has been suggested is Halcyon’s path to the dark side when compared to all other force-sensitive Halcyon’s going to the light. Such rejection may have contributed to a rejection of regular physical features as well. Regardless, Halcyon wears his hair long and normally has it tied tightly at the back. He also keeps a neatly trimmed goatee.

====Custom Robes====
During his reign as Voice of the Brotherhood, Halcyon had a new set of robes designed for him that were not just for show. Although the colour scheme was maintained, all of the material was upgraded to be effective during the heat of battle. The tunic, pants and cloak are all made from [[starwars:armorweave|armorweave]] while the chest, legs and forearm plating are made from [[starwars:durasteel|durasteel]]. A less-armoured version of these robes are used on a day-to-day basis. The armorweave is replaced with [[starwars:zeyd-cloth|zeyd-cloth]] and the durasteel with hardened [[starwars:corellian leather|corellian leather]]. Only during formal occasions or in times of battle will the armoured-robes be used.

=== Personality ===
Being so in tune with the dark side causes many dark jedi to be twisted by such powers, forming many split personalities, psychosis or very angry and destructive personalities. Halcyon however has managed to overcome or bypass such tendencies. Having experienced and seen much prior to developing his force powers Halcyon has been able to keep his head and push through the more psychotic tendencies, even while delving deeper into such strange and powerful forces.

It is only during battle that Halcyon reverts to a more destructive form, forgoing compassion and restraint focusing instead on victory and completing the task at hand. Outside of that, Halcyon is normally easy-going with those he considers friends and acquaintances, although many others can see him as unemotional or detached, his face normally inscrutable in public.

With those he considers friends however he is much more relaxed and at ease. It is a far cry from how he holds himself in public with only a select few really seeing that side of his personality.

=== Weapons ===
==== Custom Vibroblades ====
[[File:Vibroblade.jpg|thumb|150px|right|One blade]]

These intricately made blades are each 20 centimetres long. The entire weapon is perfectly balanced, allowing for ease of use. Although untraditional in style, these vibroblades were made to withstand the rigors of battle. The hilts contain the power core, as well as specially modified sound dampeners. The vibrations no longer emit noise from the blades. The blades also have specially designed sheaths, which recharge the blades as they’re sheathed. A full charge will last nearly 5 hours of straight usage, without needing to recharge. The sheaths are designed to match the hilt of the blades.

==== Bryar Pistol ====
[[File:Halc-bryar.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Halcyon's custom bryar pistol]]
Upon joining Taldryan, Halcyon became familiar with the use of the bryar pistol. Over time the weapon became a part of his regular arsenal along with a single lightsaber. Upon his most recent Dark Council re-joining, the Taldrya had a custom bryar pistol made for him. Unlike regular bryar's that are customized from a rifle, this weapon was designed from scratch for the intended use as a pistol. It still carries the signature look and feel of the weapon, but with the added reliability of a weapon made for a single purpose. The pistol's outer casing uses many of the same materials as Halcyon's current lightsaber. The blaster also fires bolts of green energy in both single and charged-forms.

==== Lightsabers ====
[[File:Halc-sabers.jpg|thumb|250px|right|Halcyon's Lightsabers]]
Halcyon has built four separate hilts during his career and each one survives to this day. His first lightsaber like many other new Dark Jedi Knights, is of a common design, taken from the Dark Brotherhood databanks. By using a treated yellow [[starwars:Adegan crystal|Adegan crystal]] provided by his Clan, the blade was of an orange-hue. The hilt of the blade was gold and black.

His second and third lightsabers are each similar in design and fashion. His second used a yellow Adegan crystal while his third used a blue Adegan. The hilts themselves were simplistic in nature, using materials found close at hand. However each blade had magnetic bottoms that could be activated by pushing in the little round bubble on the bottoms of the hilts. When put together, the blades turned into a [[double bladed lightsaber]]. A release button caused the lightsabers to detach.

With technical help from the [[Herald]] [[Muz]], Halcyon’s fourth hilt is his most complex to date. The hilt itself is a thin layer of [[starwars:Coruscant|Coruscanti]] marble wrapped around a hollowed [[starwars:durasteel|durasteel]] alloy bar. The marble finish has been dyed emerald. Using a green Adegan for the blade, Halcyon also had a [[starwars:Nextor|Nextor]] and [[starwars:Opila|Opila]] crystal incorporated as focusing crystals.

As a final culmination of his skills, Halcyon decided to forgo traditional blade methods. Receiving a vision of crystal-like beings, he searched them out and located them on the far off planet of [[starwars:Hurikane|Hurikane]], killing one of these beings and taking from it a perfect [[starwars:Hurrikaine crystal|purple crystal]]. Gutting his marble-hilt, Halcyon replaced his Adegan with this new crystal, as well as installing a much more powerful cell to power the entire unit. Using the force as guidance, he fine-tuned the mechanics, and upon activating it saw that he had created a nearly [[UV lightsabers|invisible blade]]. The blade exists as ultra-violet light, the power cell making the blade radiate much more heat than normal but draining the cell at a quicker rate as well.

Halcyon has since returned to a more traditional blade due to the increased need of his blade in battle. Although still having the components needed for a UV-blade, using a regular lightsaber blade is much more functional for longer periods of use. Slight adjustments were made to the blade itself, a darker hue and narrowing to a tip are the more noticeable changes from its previous incarnation.

Item Aspect Structure

2016-11-29T02:34:24Z

Halcyon:

{{Regent}}

This [[Item Aspect Structure]] page outlines how Item Aspects are designed to work in the possessions system, including the flow of information and approvals. Note that members can only create custom aspects for a specific prototype item and only the Regent and staff can create global aspects that can apply to any item with an open Item Aspect slot. These custom aspects also require Regent staff approval. The structure of the item aspects in the system are carefully controlled and balanced by the Regent, to ensure balance in the possessions system while allowing an element of unique customization that enhances the member experience.

For the policy on exactly what must be followed to get a custom aspect approved, please see the: [[Item Aspect Approval Policy]].

===Structure===
Within the Dark Jedi Brotherhood possessions system, unique instances of items can be customized by the owner to give the item both a unique appearance or altered custom functionality when compared with other items based on the same prototype. This follows a very similar logic to the Character Sheet system in use to develop characters and keeps items in balance while providing a unique flavor and a more diverse and enjoyable system for members. These are applied after an item is owned, from the possessions management screen, and can be selected from pre-written options made available by the Regent staff or custom written and submitted for approval if they meet all requirements as set forth in the [[Item Aspect Approval Policy]].

As a hard rule, no item will ever be able to have more than one (1) of an Item Aspect type available to it. Also as a general rule, an item will have one (1) Item Aspect slot per rarity level starting with one (1) at common generally a non-functional cosmetic Item Aspect. These Item Aspect slots will often accept more than one (1) Item Aspect type if there aren't enough available slots at the rarity level of the item so that each slot will accept one type.

===Global Aspects===
Global Aspects are Item Aspects that can be applied to any Item Prototype and are restricted only by the Item Aspect Type. These can be owned by either a specific member, meaning only that member can make use of the global aspect or by the Public, in which case it will be made available to all. It is the effort of the Regent staff to maintain a comprehensive and complete list available to members globally of all Item Aspect Types and many owned global aspects will be converted to the public space for use with potential modification.

These Aspects can be either functional, adjusting the functionality of the item in some way, non-functional, or of various unique types to bring about certain role-playing elements. The major categories are discussed below and how they are implemented.

====Unique Matched Aspects====
A unique matched aspect is one that directly matches off with one specific item prototype. In every instance of this in the possessions system, there is one Item Aspect Type that exists only on one Item Prototype, with the specific intent to allow creative freedoms to members without the need to keep a huge wide range of Prototype Items in stock to completely cover a set of items. Below exists a set of samples that exist in the possessions system, and their application is clearly explained in the description of an Item Aspect type.

Some examples:
<ul>
<li>'''Family Heirloom:''' This prototype item exists to give fictional flavor to characters who have a cherished item they always have on them that's otherwise entirely priceless and worthless but of incredible value to a specific individual character. The Item Aspect itself allows elaboration of this specific item by a member. </li>
<li>'''Poison Vial:''' This prototype item exists for members to carry with them a vial of poison, without a need to stock a huge list of all possible poisons in the possessions system. A member will purchase the vial, and use the unique matched aspect to define the poison inside it.</li>
<li>'''Cybernetic:''' This prototype item exists only for members to define the level of cybernetics of their character. As an alternative to stocking sets of cybernetic items that could include a massive range of options, this path allows a member to use a unique matched aspect to define their cybernetics for approval and simplifies the entire process. </li>
<li>'''Attire:''' There is a range of light armor clothing options that are available to members that cover a set of clothing of a certain style, each with a unique matched aspect to allow the creative freedoms to define what exactly is being worn. As an alternative to what would literally be an endless set of clothing styles. These include: Casual Attire, Formal Attire, Costume, Natural Armor, Political Attire.</li>
</ul>

====Armor Aspects====
What is worn is covered by both an armor slot and a back slot, each with a specific goal in mind, but together making up what is worn. For armor, which all exists under the Item Type of Armor, there are a few options described below that allow modification. While for the back slot, all of which exist under the Item Type of Back, it is more limited as noted below.

<ul>
<li>'''Armor Cosmetic:''' The Armor Cosmetic Aspect is a non-functional cosmetic aspect that can be applied to a specific set of light, medium or heavy armor. Allowing a member to describe in more specific detail the unique color, graphics and altered design of their specific item.</li>
<li>'''Armor Modification:''' The Armor Modification Aspect is a functional aspect that modifies certain sets of armor and gives it altered functionality, at an offsetting expense. </li>
<li>'''Armor Resistance Modification:''' The Armor Resistance Modification Aspect is a functional aspect the modifies the resistance or protection provided by certain sets of armor, at an offsetting expense. </li>
<li>'''Armor Helmet Modification:''' The Armor Helmet Modification Aspect is a functional aspect that modifies certain sets of armor that contain a functional helmet, giving the helmet altered functionality, at an offsetting expense. </li>
<li>'''Back Cover Cosmetic:''' The Back Cover Cosmetic Aspect is a non-functional cosmetic aspect that can be applied to a specific set of cloaks and capes equipped in the back slot, allowing a member to describe in more specific detail the unique color, graphics and altered design of their specific item. </li>
</ul>

====Droid Aspects====
Unique among items that can be owned by members, droids are more companions than equipped items. With each member able to specifically note one droid to have with them in general, despite being able to own as many as they can afford, these are a specific set of aspects that allow personalizing droids, all of which exist under the Item Type of Droid.

<ul>
<li>'''Droid Cosmetic:''' The Droid Cosmetic Aspect is a non-functional cosmetic aspect that can be applied to a certain set of droids. Allowing a member to describe in more specific detail the unique color, graphics and altered design of their specific droid. </li>
<li>'''Droid Personality:''' The Droid Personality Aspect is a non-functional aspect that modifies the personality of certain droids in a specific manner as defined by the details of the aspect with specific benefits and drawbacks noted for each personality. </li>
<li>'''Droid Modification:''' The Droid Modification Aspect is a functional aspect that modifies certain droids and gives them altered functionality, at an offsetting expense. </li>
<li>'''Droid Combat Modification:''' The Droid Combat Modification Aspect is a functional aspect that modifies certain droids with combat capabilities and gives them altered combat specific functionality, at an offsetting expense. </li>
</ul>

====Land Vehicles====
Each member is able to own as many land vehicles as they can afford, but can select one to serve as the primary vehicle used by a member. Each of these can be customized in a variety of ways for a specific owner. These are split slightly depending on if a vehicle is combat oriented or not, as the configuration changes considerably. All of these exist under the Item Type of Land Vehicle.

<ul>
<li>'''Land Vehicle Speeder Cosmetic:''' The Land Vehicle Speeder Cosmetic Aspect is a non-functional cosmetic aspect that can be applied to certain sets of airspeeder, landspeeder, speeder bike and swoop items, allowing a member to describe the unique color, graphics or altered design of their vehicle. </li>
<li>'''Land Vehicle Combat Cosmetic:''' The Land Vehicle Combat Cosmetic Aspect is a non-functional cosmetic aspect that can be applied to certain tanks and walkers, allowing a member to describe the unique color, graphics or altered design of their vehicle. </li>
<li>'''Land Vehicle Modification:''' The Land Vehicle Modification Aspect is a functional aspect that modifies certain land vehicles, giving them altered functionality, at an offsetting expense. </li>
<li>'''Land Vehicle Combat Modification:''' The Land Vehicle Combat Modification Aspect is a functional aspect that modifies certain tank and walker vehicles with combat capabilities and gives them altered combat functionality, at an offsetting expense. </li>
</ul>

====Space Vehicles====
Each member is able to own as many space vehicles as they can afford, but can select one to serve as the primary vehicle used by a member for space-oriented combat outside an atmosphere. Which Item Aspects are available depends on the capabilities of the space vehicle, all of which exist under the Item Type of Space Vehicles.

<ul>
<li>'''Space Vehicle Cosmetic:''' The Space Vehicle Cosmetic Aspect is a non-functional cosmetic aspect that can be applied to certain space vehicles, allowing a member to describe in more specific detail the color, graphics or altered design of their specific space vehicle. </li>
<li>'''Space Vehicle Modification:''' The Space Vehicle Modification Aspect is a functional aspect that modifies a certain set of space vehicles, and gives them altered functionality, at an offsetting expense. </li>
<li>'''Space Vehicle Combat Modification:''' The Space Vehicle Combat Modification Aspect is a functional aspect that modifies certain space vehicles with combat capabilities and gives them an altered combat specific functionality, at an offsetting expense. </li>
<li>'''Space Vehicle Launcher Modification:''' The Space Vehicle Launcher Modification Aspect is a functional aspect that modifies certain space vehicles with launcher systems installed on them, and gives those systems an altered functionality, at an offsetting expense.</li>
</ul>

====Lightsabers====
As a long tradition in the Dark Jedi Brotherhood, there are specific ranks and milestones that allow certain lightsaber designs and functionality to be used by members. In order to properly keep this functionality in the possessions system a specific set of Item Aspects thus exist across a range of items. The Herald still carefully maintains the rank cosmetic milestones while the Regent attempts to manage functionality via the prototype items with the goal to be as simple and transparent as possible for members, but also keep specific lightsaber designs as special.

<ul>
<li>'''Basic Lightsaber Cosmetic:''' The Basic Lightsaber Cosmetic Aspect is a non-functional cosmetic aspect that applies a basic set of color and design characteristics to lightsabers. </li>
<li>'''Advanced Lightsaber Cosmetic:''' The Advanced Lightsaber Cosmetic Aspect is a non-functional cosmetic aspect that applies an advanced set of color and design characteristics to lightsabers.</li>
<li>'''Double-bladed Lightsaber Cosmetic:''' The Double-bladed Lightsaber Cosmetic Aspect is a non-functional cosmetic aspect that applies a set of color and unique or custom hilt design characteristics specific to double-bladed lightsabers. </li>
<li>'''Elder Lightsaber Cosmetic:''' The Elder Lightsaber Cosmetic Aspect is a non-functional cosmetic aspect that applies an advanced set of color and unique or custom hilt design characteristics to lightsabers, as well as specific unique coloring and ultraviolet characteristics that can only be achieved in design by an Elder Force user. </li>
<li>'''Dual-Phase Lightsaber:''' The Dual-Phase Lightsaber Aspect is a unique functional aspect that modifies the Elder Lightsaber item and allows it to operate and function in multiple phases as defined by the aspect. Design characteristics achievable only by Elder Force users. </li>
<li>'''Conversion Hilt Lightsaber:''' The Conversion Hilt Lightsaber Aspect is a unique functional aspect that modifies the Conversion Hilt Lightsaber item and allows it to transform between multiple configurations, altering the functionally via the hilt as defined by the aspect. These design characteristics are achievable only by the highest-ranked Equite Force users. </li>
</ul>

====Melee Weapons====
A category containing all melee oriented weapons that aren't lightsabers. There is little functional customization compared with other categories, but also a wide range of designs and Item Categories requiring a larger set of Item Aspects to allow appropriate grouping where the language makes sense for the items themselves. This results in many different cosmetic mods. In addition, there is a poison weapon aspect to specifically cover the poisons system as it has been implemented by the Antei Combat Center for use by the membership and managed in coordination with the Combat Master.

<ul>
<li>'''Glove Weapon Cosmetic:''' The Glove Weapon Cosmetic Aspect is a non-functional cosmetic aspect that can be applied to a specific set of glove weapons, allowing a member to describe in more specific detail the unique color, graphics or altered design of their specific glove weapon item.</li>
<li>'''Knuckler Cosmetic:''' The Knuckler Cosmetic Aspect is a non-functional cosmetic aspect that can be applied to a specific set of knuckler weapons, allowing a member to describe in more specific detail the unique color, graphics or altered design of their specific knuckler item.</li>
<li>'''Shield Cosmetic:''' The Shield Cosmetic Aspect is a non-functional cosmetic aspect that can be applied to a specific set of shield weapons, allowing a member to describe in more specific detail the unique color, graphics or altered design of their specific shield item.</li>
<li>'''Whip Cosmetic:''' The Whip Cosmetic Aspect is a non-functional cosmetic aspect that can be applied to a specific set of whip weapons, allowing a member to describe in more specific detail the unique color, graphics or altered design of their specific whip item. </li>
<li>'''Melee Weapon Cosmetic:''' The Melee Weapon Cosmetic Aspect is a non-functional cosmetic aspect that can be applied to a specific set of melee weapons, allowing a member to describe in more specific detail the unique color, graphics or altered design of their specific item.</li>
<li>'''Bladed Weapon Modification:''' The Bladed Weapon Modification Aspect is a functional aspect that modifies certain bladed weapons, giving them altered functionality at some offsetting expense. </li>
<li>'''Melee Weapon Modification:''' The Melee Weapon Modification Aspect is a functional aspect that modifies a certain set of melee weapons, giving them altered functionality at some offsetting expense. </li>
<li>'''Poison Weapon:''' The Poison Weapon Aspect is a functional aspect that allows a member describe the nature of a poison that coats or is otherwise applied to a specific weapon. Any member utilizing a poison on their weapon must have the "Poison Weapons" Feat to do so effectively in combat without risk or consequence. </li>
</ul>

====Ranged Weapons====
A category containing all weapons that are used at range. This includes blaster weapons, slugthrowers, explosives and a range of miscellaneous weapons that have less specific Item Aspects to cover their customizations.

<ul>
<li>'''Ranged Weapon Cosmetic:''' The Ranged Weapon Cosmetic Aspect is a non-functional cosmetic aspect that can be applied to a specific set of ranged weapons, allowing a member to describe in more specific detail the unique color, graphics or altered design of their specific item.</li>
<li>'''Blaster Modification:''' The Blaster Modification Aspect is a functional aspect that modifies certain energy based blaster weapons, giving them altered functionality, at some offsetting expense. </li>
<li>'''Blaster Rifle Modification:''' The Blaster Rifle Modification Aspect is a functional aspect that modifies certain larger blaster rifles, sniper rifles and repeating blasters that require two hands to wield effectively, giving the weapon an altered functionality at some offsetting expense. </li>
<li>'''Slugthrower Modification:''' The Slugthrower Modification Aspect is a functional aspect that modifies certain slugthrower weapons, giving them altered functionality at some offsetting expense. </li>
<li>'''Explosive Launcher Modification:''' The Explosive Launcher Modification Aspect is a functional aspect that modifies certain explosive launchers, giving them altered functionality at some offsetting expense. </li>
</ul>

====Order of Battle Specific====
Several units exist specifically for units, with Item Aspects that allow cosmetic visual identification and customization.

<ul>
<li>'''Space Station Cosmetic:''' The Space Station Cosmetic Aspect is a non-functional cosmetic aspect that can be applied to certain space stations, allowing a unit to describe in more specific detail the color, graphics or altered design of their specific space station. </li>
<li>'''Ground Military Unit Cosmetic:''' The Ground Military Unit Cosmetic Aspect is a non-functional cosmetic aspect that can be applied to the armor and uniforms of the elements of a specific Infantry unit, describing in more specific detail their unique color, graphics, and altered design.</li>
</ul>

===Custom Aspects===
Custom Aspects are available to members, where instead of choosing one from the list of what is available, they initiate the process of having their aspect reviewed and approved by the Regent and staff. Four specific decisions and pieces of information are required, each with its own implication before an Item Aspect can be requested. Note that requesting one puts it into the queue for approval, and only after approval can it be applied to an item. An email will be sent when it is approved, or comments will be made with information on why an item may not have been processed.

Custom Aspect Requires:
<ul>
<li>'''Title:''' This title is the name that is given to an aspect, and shown above the description of the aspect on an item when assigned.</li>
<li>'''Item Prototype:''' This allows a member to request an aspect that is tied to a specific item prototype, allowing more specific language to be used in the description, or to apply to any item prototype putting more scrutiny over language chosen to be more generic and applicable to any item that might have that item type on it. </li>
<li>'''Item Aspect Type:''' This notes which type of aspect is being requested. Select the one that is more applicable to the description being written and adhere to it to allow it to be approved. Only Item Aspect types available to the prototype item it was added from will be displayed. </li>
<li>'''Description:''' This is the actual text to describe what the Aspect is. </li>
</ul>

Reminder to see [[Item Aspect Approval Policy]] for specifics on what must be followed to get an aspect approved.

===Granted===
While most of the functionality of a prototype item is covered by its specific description, there are cases where it makes more sense to grant an item a specific functionality via an aspect as a modifier versus description text. There is an Item Aspect type of Granted that is reserved specifically for the Regent and staff, that allows the creation of Aspects with whatever text is necessary to grant an item additional modified functionality. This is never available to an item as a type to be selected.

===Application===
When applied properly, and consistently, item aspects allow members to customize their possessions and show off their unique preferences. The item aspect structure has been set-up to allow a great deal of flexibility, which both leaves things open for a wide range of unique applications, but also leaves a gray area around what can be accomplished while maintaining a balance. The Regent staff attempts to maintain a clear and concise list of what must be done to get something approved, while over time building a catalog of examples with each decision to establish a uniform system. Free of bias and adhering to the structures, item aspects enhance the member experience with the possessions system.

Credit Accounts

Halcyon:

{{Regent}}

The [[Credit Accounts]] page outlines the basic tools available for managing credits in the Dark Jedi Brotherhood, and what type of information is available to members and units with regards to their credit accounts. The primary goal of his is to give members tools to save towards larger more expensive items while understanding where their credits are coming from and through transparency give the system a high level of integrity. Discrepancies to this information, or simple questions, should be directed to the Regent.

For specific information about how to earn credits, see the [[Possessions_Salary_Policy|possessions salary policy]].

===Account Management===
Accessed via the administration section of the site under "Your Character", then "Credit Accounts", the Credit Accounts link brings up Account Management and provides two types of accounts each with different tools to help you manage your credits depending on the type.

<ul>
<li>'''Spending Account:''' The spending account exists by default and is created when a member or unit is created. Each will have only one account of this type, and it is where all [[Possessions_Salary_Policy|credits earned]] are automatically credited, and all purchases are debited. When viewing a store, only the credits in the spending account will show up as available, and only these credits can be spent on items. Credits must be moved from a savings account into the spending account before purchasing items at a store. This account can be renamed with the Rename button next to the account, or the spending account details can be viewed using the View button to look at all individual credits and debits along with other relevant information to the transactions. </li>
<li>'''Savings Account:''' The "+ Create Savings Account" button will start the process to create a savings account, and a member can give this a name of their choosing that helps them identify the account as well as set a percentage of all [[Possessions_Salary_Policy|credits earned]] to be deposited automatically into the account. Once created it is designated by the Type of Savings on the Account Management page. After created, the name and percentage can be edited later with the Edit button next to the account, a deposit can be made to the account of credits from the spending account, a withdrawal can be made from the savings account to the spending account, or the savings account details can be viewed using the View button to look at all individual debits and credits along with other relevant information to the transactions. </li>
</ul>

===Account Details===
When the View button is clicked for any account, it will bring up a full look at every debit and credit transaction for a specific account, as well as some graphs to track value over time. All purely informative to help a member review and manage their finances.

<ul>
<li>'''Spending credits balance over time:''' Shown only on spending accounts, this is a graph that shows the balance of the spending account considering all debits and credits over time with a variety of zoom levels as well as the ability to download or print the graph. Intended as a tool to help a member or unit review their account balance visually. </li>
<li>'''All-time credits earned:''' Shown only on spending accounts, this is a graph that shows the balance of the spending account considering only credits to the account over time with a variety of zoom levels as well as the ability to download or print the graph. Intended as a tool to help a member or unit to review the total value of all credits ever earned in the possessions system visually. </li>
<li>'''Mutation - Date:''' Shows the exact date and time that a transaction took place against an account.</li>
<li>'''Mutation - Description:''' Shows a basic description of the transaction that took place, with information to understand the nature of why the debit or credit took place.</li>
<li>'''Mutation - Debit:''' Shows a currency (credits) value of a transaction, if it was a debit against that account reducing the total.</li>
<li>'''Mutation - Credit:''' Shows a currency (credits) value of a transaction, if it was a credit against that account increasing the total. </li>
<li>'''Mutation - Performed by:''' Shows which account initiated a transaction, showing either a member name or notes that it was handled by an Automated Process. </li>
</ul>

===Discrepancies===
Any discrepancies or concerns with anything on the account details screen should be brought to the Regent for response.

===Application===
Setup to be basic, and simple as far as tools are concerned, but in depth with regard to the depth of information provided. The Regent ensures the integrity of the system and performs manual adjustments as necessary to keep everything aligned with intent. With appropriate oversight and consistency, the member experience can be maintained free of bias and concern for all members.

==Deflection==
The current blurb for Deflection states that it absorbs energy, rather than actually "deflect" it, yet the 1-5 power levels all mention deflecting an attack in some manner. Also, the power should probably be renamed if it no longer deflects attack as a base action. It can essentially be called "Absorb Energy" and whatever feat goes with it can be called "Deflection" or something along those lines. --[[User:Halcyon|Halcyon]] ([[User talk:Halcyon|talk]]) 13:11, 12 November 2015 (UTC)

Hunter Sim Vel'Potens, commonly known as Sim, is a lone wolf from the Obelisk order. Born on Alderaan, his family died in the destruction of his home planet while he was training on Coruscant. Sim was originally trained by Master Jedi Mace Windu who showed him the Vaapad. After the death of his master, Sim self-instructed himself through long and deep meditations. When he learned of the tragedy of Alderaan, the darkness built up inside finally exploded as he killed a total of 132 imperial politicians and army officials on Coruscant. He later fled to a desert planet in the unknown regions of the galaxy where he was found in 37 ABY by Dark Knight [[Landon Cruise]] who brought him to [[Muz Ashen]], former [[Grand Master]] of the Brotherhood.

== Character History ==
Sim was secretly trained as a child to become a jedi knight. His master, Jedi Master Mace Windu, was forbidden to teach to anyone the ways of the force because of his dark methods. When Sim's Master fell at the hand of Darth Sidious, the youngling went to the search of the legendary Lightsaber built by Windu. He searched for months through the dark streets of the capital of the late republic, until he finally tracked down its stealer and killed him. This was Sim's first kill.

Sim, still hiding on Coruscant, fell into deep meditations in the force that would last up to a full week at times. In those meditations, Sim self-educated himself in the force for years until in 0 BBY, the Galactic Empire destroyed his home planet of Alderaan. Powered by rage, Sim assassinated 132 politicians and army officials. After this massacre, Sim fled to a deserted planet in the unknown regions of the galaxy. Sim survived there for a total of 37 years before Dark Knight Landon Cruise recruited him to the [[Dark Jedi Brotherhood]].

Even after the warm welcome of the members of the Brotherhood, Sim still secluded himself from his clan, [[Scholae Palatinae]], and went on rogue missions for his own interest.

{{Quote|At the end of the day people in this galaxy only respond to two things, credits in pocket or a blaster to their temple. |Tavens}}

Tavens is a Zabrak orphan who grew up on the planet [[StarWars:Mandalore/Canon|Mandalore]]. As a young man, he was told stories about the [[StarWars:Death Watch/Canon|Death Watch]] which lead him to study the conquests of past [[StarWars:Madalorian|Mandalorian]] cutltures. After leaving his home planet, he led the life of a soldier of fortune before coming across a key member of Clan [[Arcona]]. Now working exclusively for the Shadow Clan, he attempts to rally other Mandalorians to follow him alongside the Dark Jedi back down the path to conquest and glory.

==Personal History==

{{Quote|This galaxy, even the Jedi, used to fear us. Now we cling to this dusty rock as paupers.|Matil Caedoj}}

===Early Childhood===

[[Image:ThePlanetMandalore.png|thumb|right|Mandalore'']]Tavens was believed to be born around 15 ABY in [[StarWars:Sundari/Canon|Sundari]], the capital city of the planet Mandalore. The Zabrak was abandoned on the doorsteps of the only orphanage in the capital city as a baby. With the [[StarWars:New Mandalorians/Canon|New Mandalorian]] government still in power many families were still mired in poverty. Few homes were willing to add another mouth to feed, much less that of an alien. Tavens would go on to spend his entire childhood under the care of the orphanage staff which was lead by head matron Matil Caedo. The elderly Caedo was somewhat of an amateur historian and enjoyed telling the children grand stories about the ancient Mandalorians, especially their battles with the [[StarWars:Jedi/Canon|Jedi]]. Her Zabrak charge quickly became an eager student of her tales, taking every opportunity to hear any of her tales. By the time the Zabrak began to approach adolescence he was able to recite almost all of Matil's stories word for word.

=== Adolescent Years ===

By the time Tavens reached his teenage years a strong bond had formed between him and Matil Caedo. The head matron embraced this relationship and began to bring in more official sources of knowledge for the young Zabrak. It began with her scrounging local libraries for historical texts which Tavens devoured with at an almost staggering pace. After the local knowledge dried up, Matil began to use her own credits to download academic texts from the [[StarWars:HoloNet/Canon|HoloNet]]. Both teacher and student began to discover that there was a fairly large group of academics and amateur historians across the galaxy that were fascinated by Mandalorian history. The teacher now also became a student, eagerly learning alongside her former pupile all she could about the conquests of the ancient Mandalorians.

The other orphans began to become jealous of the relationship the Zabrak shared with their head matron. The other children, all human, believe their alien "brother" was getting candy and treats because he was "brown-nosing" Matron Caedo. A few of the children confronted Tavens with their claim and threatened to beat him up if he did not share. He did not stand down to their threats and the children attacked their fellow orphan. He put up a good fight and his assailants ended up as bloodied and bruised as he did. The head matron watched the entire scene unfold but did not step in until well after the fight had ended. She did not tell the Tavens that she had witnessed the entire confrontation but was impressed with the poise under fire her alien charge had shown under pressure.

Tavens continued his studies as he grew into a young man. The bond he had formed with the head matron was now augmented by a level of respect he had gained in her eyes from the confrontation with the other ophans. As the Zabrak approached the age in which he would no longer be able to stay at the orphanage Matil Caedo adopted the alien child as her own. Although not opulent Tavens found his new quarters at the Caedo residence to be much more comfortable than the orphanage. Additionally, mother and son were now able to study in a more private setting. Matil introduced her son to a new story, that of the [[StarWars:Death Watch/Canon|Death Watch]]. Tavens was fascinated by the story and began to revere their efforts to bring the Mandalorians back into dominance.

Studies also began to turn from strictly academic to martial. The elderly Caedo seems to have an almost endless access to varied forms of projectile weapons and blasters and possessed an even more confounding ability to operate them all. The newest member of the Caedo clan began to practice with other members of the family, and not simply operating the weapons, but also how to clean and fix equipment as well. They also began to study Teras Kasi, a form of unarmed combat. When Tavens' proficiency began to improve, he was immediately made to continue these activities with weights on his chest, legs and arms. This seemed strange to him at first but he quickly realized that a real Mandalorian fought in their armor like a second skin. He had assumed that in lieu of true armor he was being given a more realistic historical experience with the weights.Only a few years later, his theory would be proven very wrong.

=== Young Adulthood ===

=== The Seedy Underbelly ===

===Into The Fray===

[[Image:Oorooabbey.jpg|thumb|left|Menat Ombo, New Tython]]Upon arrival at the Shadow Academy, it as immediately clear that it was not business as usual. Only one Dark Jedi was there to meet him as he entered the academy. The other human did not identify themselve and only took Tavens' name, assigned him to House Galeres. The new recruit was directed to a shuttle with no other information given. Still unsure of what was going on, he boarded the shuttle that was stocked with all forms of armaments and the two crew members, one male one female. He asked where they were going and the woman explained that the Brotherhood was at war with a group of Jedi on a planet called [[New Tython]] which was where they were headed. Tavens it seemed, would have to prove himself in combat immediately to his new Dark Jedi bosses.

The fledgling warrior was able to connect with other members of his clan once arriving on New Tython, notably his boss Marick. With the assistance of Clan Arcona, Tavens was able to prove himself worthy in the crucible of combat. Much of the combat the Zabrak experienced was on the streets of [[Menat Ombo]], the main city of New Tython. Without the abilities of a Force Sensitive and lacking much personnel support of his own, Turon used his familial training and prior underworld experience to survive.

Although not turning the tide of any battle on his own, Blarex was awarded with 11 [[Tenth_Great_Jedi_War#Seals_and_Novae|Seals of Decimation]] and an [[Anteian Cross]] for his efforts. The ability to be dropped into the middle of an on-going war and hit the ground running granted the newly hired mercenary to ascend quickly gain reputation within Clan Arcona.

===AWOL===

From the year ABY 35 to early ABY 37, Tavens went sight unseen by anyone within the Dark Jedi Brotherhood. Concerned he may have been captured by competing interest, the Arcona clan summit did assign a few mid-level assets from the [[Dajorra Intelligence Agency]] to locate their missing mercenary. Even the much vaunted operatives within the DIA did not get a sniff of the Mandalorian. To this day, even after his return to the ranks of the Shadow Clan, only Tavens knows what transpired during his unapproved leave of absence.

===Dark Crusade===

{{Main|[[Dark Crusade]]}}

[[Image:EyeOfTheAbyssII.jpg|thumb|right|ISDII ''Eye of the Abyss II'']]Similar to his induction into the Brotherhood, Tavens returned from his leave with the entire organization engaged in conflict. The enemy this time was the [[StarWars:One Sith|One Sith]]. Upon landing ''Mandalore Ascendant'' in Port Ol'Val, he learned the entirety [[Arconan Armed Forces]] were deployed to [[StarWars:Rhelg|Rhelg]]. Looking to repeat his success from the Tenth Great Jedi War, the mercenary rushed to meet up with the forces of the Shadow Clan. As soon as he arrived, he discovered that the fighting on Rhelg had finished and he had missed an Arconan victory.

Landing on the flagship of the Clan's fleet, ''[[ISDII Eye of the Abyss II]]'', the Corellian was ushered immediately to his bosses office. Marick gave his highly skilled agent a briefing on the current state of affairs, the upcoming escalation against the One Sith forces and the state of the Clan. Suprisingly, the Hapan did not question the young Mandalorian on his whereabouts for the past year and Tavens did not volunteer the information either.

The Proconsul did assign the Zabrak to a mission at the end of their meeting, one which required an immediate departure from the Acronan fleet. Marick sent him back to Port Ol'Val to track down a suspected agent of the One Sith. The intel dossier indicated the target was not even a Force Sensitive, let alone a trained Sith. The errand seemed trivial, especially as Clan Arcona prepared for the next phase of the conflict, Tavens was concerned he had lost the confidence of his master.

The prey proved to be more than a match for the Corellian's abilities as a hunter. At times, Blarex felt as if he were chasing a breeze that could disappear and re-form at will. Each time he got close enough to see the white hood of his target, the enemy agent would seemingly vanish into thin air. It became clear that his mark not only knew he was being tracked, but who was the one doing the tracking. The mercenary paid off a spice fiend to wear his robes and follow the mission target in his place. As the two men came into an area with only one exit, Tavens set off a shock device he left inside his robes. Even as a non-Force User himself he felt the sheer panic of poor spice fiend who was not only going through withdrawal but was unexpectedly hit with enough electricity to stun a Wookie.

The ruse worked as the suspected agent smoothly exited the main thoroughfare into the alley Blarex was hiding in. As soon as the hooded man passed his hiding place, the Mandalorian swiftly moved upon him. Before the other man could react, Tavens had his blaster pressed firmly against his temple. As the man's hood fell down it revealed the long, dark hair of Marick Arconae. This was his final test as a journeyman, with his sucess Blarex was officially promoted to the rank of Professional. With this rank came a new level of autonom within the Shadow Clan. Tavens would now be able to more freely pick contracts, come and go as he pleased, and even begin recruiting members to his own personal assault team (although outsiders would require major security clearance).

Now a full member of the Dark Jedi Brotherhood, Tavens was entrusted with leading his first mission as the Shadow Clan descended upon [[StarWars:Bharghebbaclans.jpg|Bhargebba]]. While naval and ground forces battled with the One Sith for the fate of Bhargebba, The Zabrak was assigned a detachment from the Abyss II consisting of infantry, heavy troopers, scouts, medics and engineers to fortify and secure a forward command post. Although the newly appointed Professional was disappointed he would not be on the tip of the spear, he was excited to command such a large force into battle for the first time.

[[Image:Bharghebbaclans.jpg|left|thumb|Bhargebba Intel Dossier]]The site of the command post was to be in a small underground vault less than 10 kilometers from the One Sith main dig site. Consul [[Wuntila Arconae]] was set to launch a full assault on the dig site only a few standard hours after Taven's detachment was tasked with establishing the forward operating base. The strategic value of the location was not lost on the One Sith forces as they were heavily fortified before the Arconan forces arrived. The entrenched One Sith forces easily pinned down their attackers outside of the complex, behind the tree line.

Tavens knew if his forces could break through the forces defending the entrance of the vault, that he would be able to then utilize his significant numerical advantage. Options were seriously limited to the rookie leader on how to accomplish this task. An air strike was out of the question, the complex had to be kept intact. The Clan Summit only sent one squad of heavy troopers along with the detachment and no trained Dark Jedi. Charging the entrance, would result in a bloodbath. Although he would win the war of attrition, he would not throw the lives of his forces away needlessly. He knew many of these soldiers from New Tython and they had a part to play in his survival of that conflict.

As he thought of these men, he began to focus on the emotions surrounding the battle. He feared losing good soldiers in combat, these were not his Mandalorian brothers and sisters but if he was to ever lead them one day he had to make his mark. With his blaster rifle raining down bolts on the enemy position, he carefully pushed toward the entrance to the vault complex. Each glancing blow on his armor from a blaster bolt he deflected made him angrier, the thought that each one could have killed one of his men or him, sent him in to a furious rage. After crossing half of the 100 meter length of open field he noticed that grenades joined the blaster fire. Even fully armored the Mandalorian had to retreat, his stamina was starting to fail him and if he fell the mission was lost.

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw that his troops had seized the initiative. While the attention of the defenders was focused intently on Tavens, two full squads had advanced unnoticed on either side of the windowless complex. When both arrived at their location, they simply threw two [[StarWars:Thermal_detonator/Canon|Thermal Detonators]] into the open doorway. The forces inside didn't have time to react. As Tavens and his two squads entered the antechamber they saw that no one survived, all organic beings had been completely atomized. The remainder of the complex was easily secure by the overwhelming forces of the Dark Jedi Brotherhood. The Shadow Clan had their forward operations base, which Blarex and his forces successfully defended against multiple counterattacks during the remainder of the battle on Bhargebba.

==Personality==

Tavens fits the mold of you stereotypical Mandalorian, on an average day he is even tempered and even affable, while being a terror on the battlefield. The men and women he leads in combat follow him willingly and fear letting him down more than the heavy hand of discipline. His leadership style is not one that rules by fear of failure but of the rewards of success. This style has served Tavens well in his pursuits of re-establishing the Mandalorian people as a force to be feared. The young mercenary is known to take a vested interest in the thoughts of his subordinates, knowing that the fresh eyes of a newly minted apprentice or a green private could see things more experienced eyes could miss. When it comes to mistakes made by those under his command, the Zabrak is more apt to sit with the individual in question and help them learn from their error than to blast them in the chest. Both within and oustide of combat, Tavens is known to genuinely care for those who follow him.

Enemies would be foolish to mistake his caring for a weakness. Although Tavens greets friends with an open hand, he meets his enemies with a closed fist. His burning desire to continue the work of Matil Caedo and the Death Watch fuel a passion that is dangerous to obstruct.

==Physical Appearance==

[[Image:BlarexCloak.jpg|thumb|right|Blarex's armored robes.]]As an adult Zabrak, Blarex stands at 1.79 meters and weighs about 79.38 kilograms. Even though he is of average height and weight, he maintains a very tone frame. The Zabrak's skin is a very even dark brown tone. His smooth complexion, as well as his azure eyes, help use charm to recruit to his cause over intimidation. He has no hair on his head but had a symmetrical ring of off-white horns that encircle the base of his skull. His facial tattoo is a true black in the shape of a skull.

The Mandalorian can rarely be found outside of his inherited armor. While on his ship or deep within the presence of his family he is known to wear simple travelers clothes. While armored, his weaponry load out is kept as full as can be with explosives, blasters, flame weapons and rockets all as possible options to carry into battle. As one can imagine, a fully armor-clad Mandalorian is very easy to pick out of a crown and it is very rare his presence goes unnoticed in any local he operates in.

==Fighting Styles==
[[Image:BlarexSaber.png|thumb|left|Blarex's lightsaber.]]

Blarex is a primarily ragned fighter and but does posses some intermediate melee defensive abilities. As a leader of men, the Mandalorian knows the value of protecting his allies. Although not a master duelist his ability to use every tool at his disposal makes him a difficult target to bring down in an even fight. It is not uncommon to see Tavens holding a choke point so even a single squad of troopers can safely ex-filtrate a position. If he does get caught in a close combat situation, he will use his weaponry,technology and melee skills to disengage back to a favorable distance.

===Hand To Hand===

Having received Teras Kasi training from Matil Taj and other members of Clan Caedo, Tavens does possess above average hand to hand combat skills. This however is not his preferred form of combat and has focused his study on defensive and disarmament moves intended to re-establish range.

== Behind The Scenes ==

Tavens was originally a Sith charcater named Blarex. Blarex is a character created by Ryan. The name "Blarex" first came about during the early days of the [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_of_Warcraft| World of Warcraft]]. At the time, Ryan's younger brother was playing a Human Paladin. This same younger brother just lost Ryan's original character to a scammer. After purchasing a new game key, he decided to create a new character. Also a paladin, he modeled all of the character features except one after his younger brother's paladin, Tharex. His changed the skin tone to an African-American tone and called him Blarex for black Tharex. To this day, Ryan will play an African-American in most games if given the option.

Upon implementing non-Force Users within the DJB, Ryan moved to retcon his character to that of his true interests within the Star Wars universe, a Mandalorian warrior. Although also a fan of Force powers and lightsabers, Ryan was more intrigued by the idea of "regular" warriors that the Jedi and their Dark brethren feared alike. Fandom of "regular" warriors that stood up to "magic" or "powered" individuals extends to his two favorite comic book heroes as well, Iron Man and Batman.

==Motto==

Arise Excidium with Merciless Hearts and Cold Steel by [[Shadow Nighthunter]]

== History ==

[[File:Koryn Thraagus.jpg|thumb|left|170px|Quaestor [[Koryn Thraagus]]]]

Following the reformation of House [[Scholae Palatinae]] into a Clan in 38 ABY, House Excidium was formed under the jurisdiction of the Clan to provide more of a hierarchy. Named after the [[VSD Excidium|Victory class Star Destroyer]] and former Clan flagship, Excidium resides within its own right as a house under the Clan of Scholae Palatinae, led by its first Quaestor [[Koryn Thraagus]], constantly continuing to build up its history.

Contrary to [[House Imperium]], which upholds the traditions of the Imperial Armed Forces and operates in plain sight within Scholae’s military, House Excidium has taken to a decentralized approach and works along the Imperial Scholae Intelligence. Where House Imperium may act within the law of the Empire and take the limelight, Excidium is the unit for the dirty jobs that must not be associated with the Emperor. As such, it has drawn many of the darker and more violent members of the Clan, some even outright criminal.

===Red Fury===

Although the freshly founded House participated in the [[Red Fury]] campaign in early 39 ABY, it was overshadowed by the other combatants.

===Survivors Campaign===

Later in 39 ABY, the whole Clan was involved in the efforts against the “Survivors”, leftovers from The Cause and the [[Scions of Cocytus]]. During these struggles Excidium managed to beat Imperium to three of the five strategic objectives, led by the omnipresent experience of Battlelord [[Archangel Palpatine]] and the boundless brutality of the late-joining Jedi Hunter [[Jorm "The Jester" Na'trej]] who got knighted for his efforts.

===Underworld Overtaken===

This quick and dirty clean-up operation after the Survivors campaign did not see great participation by the House, save for Aedile [[Lucyeth]] and the overseer [[Jorm "The Jester" Na'trej|Jorm Na'trej]].

===Deception Uprising===

[[File:Lucyeth.jpg|thumb|right|170px|Quaestor [[Lucyeth]]]]
During the operation against the Evanescant and the Pacre Datship on Ptolomea, House Excidium provided three out of the five most successful agents. [[Archangel Palpatine]] and [[Jorm "The Jester" Na'trej|Jorm Na'trej]] spearheaded Excidium's efforts once more and, providing both intelligence and brutally quick strikes.
Close to the end of the campaign, [[Lucyeth]], who had not stood by idly and shone across the board, succeeded the suddenly departing [[Koryn Thraagus]] as Quaestor.

== Headquarters ==

Secrecy is paramount to the young House, for its own sake and in the interest of the Emperor. For this reason the nominal Headquarters are located on [[Caina]].
Subterran hangars in the city of Daemon, registered to a transport company, service the House’s small fleet and hide its vehicles.
The headquarters proper are located in an abandoned holiday resort built from a stripped mine. The lavish luxury resort has first been built during the reign of the Galactic Empire and struggled throughout its existence and is officially closed for renovation and reconstruction. In truth, it is completed and adapted to serve as the House’s point of retreat and training ground. It is connected to the hangars by the forgotten mines charted by the defunct [[Dorimad Sol]].

== Fleet ==

House Excidium entertains a small fleet of freighters and fighters under the colorful label “Frozen Transports & Logistics”, a transport company which specialises in intra-system trade and supply runs to remote outposts. Used ship trade provides a secondary income. The company is a civil contractor of the Imperial Navy and actually does what it claims to do; however, it also carries the House’s forces through the system, ready to strike at moments notice. Following the suggestion of [[Jorm "The Jester" Na'trej|one of its more criminal members]], the fleet largely consists of ships which are not exclusive to the Empire for reasons of subterfuge.

The backbone is formed by a quartet of GR-75 Medium Transports, a model usually associated with the Rebel Alliance. Each of these freighters usually carries at least one Force User and is customized for a special task, their clamshell hulls and numerous freight pods ideal to conceal the necessary equipment. The armament, engines and equipment have been beefed up, and some of the carrying capacity has been sacrificed to make space for the larger crew. Most of these ships bear customized banners. Freight pods can be used to expand the ship's’ abilities as needed. The non-imperial names and appearances have been chosen deliberately to disassociate the ships from the Empire and give Excidium a bit more space.

===''Hoth''===
[[File:Hoth.jpg|thumb|right|250px|]]
This ship, specialized on boarding and buccaneering, carries a massive hidden v150 Ion Cannon and a complement of Marines and Zero-G Stormtroopers.

===''Yavin Runner''===
[[File:Yavin_Runner.jpg|thumb|right|250px|]]
The ''Yavin Runner'' conceals six TIE Interceptors and two additional missile tubes. It is used for anti-piracy operations or as escort for other ships.

===''Endor Nights''===
[[File:Endor_Nights.jpg|thumb|right|250px|]]
The ground pounder amongst the House's ships carries at least two Force Users and a platoon of Special Forces in addition to two squads of combat hover vehicles and two Y-Wings. This ship is the rapid reaction force for ground-based threats and will make planetfall more regularly than the others.

===''Bothawui''===
The last of Excidium's GR-75s is filled to the brim with espionage equipment. It can listen in to comm transmissions half a system away and crack encryptions and networks faster than fast food chains can serve a meal. This ship is the only GR-75 which doesn't always carry a Force User, and currently does not display a custom banner like the others.

===''Flying Wares''===
The Fleet also makes use of various smaller ships to ferry House members around when none of the GR-75s is needed or available. These smaller craft range from Z-95 Heeadhunters (corporate security) over second-hand Lambda class shuttles to YT series transports. The collective name originates with a moderately drunk [[Jorm "The Jester" Na'trej|Knight]] and hints toward the auxiliary fleet's nature: They are officially bought and sold by FT&L for additional income.

'''YOUR CHARACTER''' is... overview of character.

== Character History ==
=== Early Life ===
Vithril was born and raised on the planet of Iridonia. This upbringing naturally made him feel more superior to other Zabrak born on other planets and would cause him trouble in his adult life. Vithril's father realised his son was force sensitive at a very early age but hid it so that no one from the Jedi Temple would come take his son from him. Vithril's family lived in a fishing village on the coast of the acid ocean and worked there building boats. Vithril had a natural curiosity for fighting and exploring as a child, and was always sneaking around so see if he could go unnoticed. This fascination with stealth would come to serve him well later in life.
=== Additional Heading ===

== Physical Description ==
Typical Zabrak Horns. In place of tribal tattoos, the entire head and upper body is adorned in purple and black tattoos of a Krath pattern

'''Solas Night Thorn''' is a [[starwars:Sarkhai_(species)|Sarkhai]] [[Sith|Sith]] [[Neophyte|Neophyte]], Sworn to [[Mortis|House Mortis]] of [[Tarentum|Clan Tarentum]]. Solas is a special member of the Brotherhood, as he is only the second member of the Sarkhai race to be force sensitive.

=Pre-Brotherhood Years=
== Childhood ==
=== 2 BBY - 12 ABY ===
Solas was born on August 12, 2 BBY, on his forested, Mid-Rim, home-world of Sarkhai.[[File:Planet Sarkhai.jpg|200px|thumb|left|Solas' homeworld of Sarkhai.]] He was the first born son of the Sarkhai Imperial Ambassador. This meant that Solas was under a microscope from birth. He was not, however, an only child for very long. On March 26, 0 BBY, Solas' younger sister, Shilley Veene Thorn was born. The birth of his sister took the focus off of Solas for a few years, at least until he turned 6. This is the age that all aristocratic sons begin their military training. [[File:Sarkhai Palace1.jpg|200px|thumb|left|Solas' childhood home, The Sarkhai Imperial Palace.]]
==== Military Training ====
[[File:Young Cadet Solas.jpg|200px|thumb|left|7 year old Solas, in his cadet's uniform. Showing the traditional, Elite Blue, war paint.]]
Sarkhai military training is very similar to the ancient human civilization Sparta. The training is brutal, relentless, and most importantly full contact. It was not a pleasant time for Solas, while he still lived in his family quarters in the Imperial Palace, he was not home all that often. He would wake long before sunrise and would have left the quarters before any members of his family would awake. He would train with the other sons of members of court. They would train in all forms of hand-to-hand and armed combat. They also trained in military studies, such as; map reading, route charting, military strategy, and combat theory. They would train in combat for 4 hours after sunrise. Following a sparse tasteless breakfast, they would attend class for 9 hours, with a short 15 minute lunch in the middle of the day. Following classes, they would resume their physical training. This would continue late into the night, ending at the time that the cadets would be required to go home and almost immediately go to sleep, that is if they wanted to get a healthy amount of sleep. Solas was capable of living this life, without it affecting his relationship with his family, thanks to the fact that only a few weeks after he began his training, on September 8, 11 BBY, his youngest sister, Katherine Arrin Thorn, was born. So his family was consumed with the new baby, allowing Solas to go about his now militaristic lifestyle without much of a problem. This would become Solas' life for the next 8 years.
==== Force Awakening ====
Solas received only one major break per year. In the year 6 ABY, Solas chose to take his break when his father was traveling off-world. He would accompany his father and sister Shilley, on a 4 day long trip to the galactic core world of Coruscant. This would become the longest time Solas would spend with his father and sister for the rest of his childhood.

On the final day of the trip, Solas and Shilley were waiting outside the offices of the Twi'lek Ambassador. While waiting for their father, a man tried to mug the children. When they had nothing to give the man, he became angry, and he swung a knife at 6 year old Shilley. In a subconscious reaction to the attack, Solas lashed out with the Force for the first time. His uncontrolled attack sent the man's arm, and subsequently the knife, wildly off course, causing the knife to slash Solas' right forearm from the elbow all the way down to his hand. This would cause Solas to lash out again with the Force again, this time he launched the man into the opposite wall knocking him unconscious. Solas would collapse shortly after, fortunately their father would exit the offices not long after. Seeing the remains of what happened their father would rush Solas and Shilley to a med bay and as soon as they were fit to travel, they were all rushed back to Sarkhai.

After he healed, Solas finally was able to sit down and talk to his father about what had happened. After he told the story, Solas expected to be given training in how to contain and use his new force powers. To his surprise he was told that there has only been one other member of the Sarkhai race to have been force sensitive. His father actually told him to hide his abilities and try to not use them if he could. Shortly after Solas would return to his life as normal, with the added fact of he had to hide that he was the first Force sensitive Sarkhai in over three and a half millennia.
==== Fall of Sarkhai ====
[[File:Teen Cadet Solas.jpg|200px|thumb|left|14 Year Old Solas. In his formal cadet's uniform. Showing the last time Solas wore blue war paint.]]
Following the events on Coruscant, Solas would return to his normal life, and it would proceed without incident for the next 6 years. He even managed to make two really close friends; Narkan Trill Dorme` and Verac Xir` Normec, They grew close enough that Solas would share his greatest secret with them, so now aside from his father, Narkan and Verac knew that Solas was Force sensitive. So Solas had managed to begin living a normal life.

This fantasy was shattered on June 24, 12 ABY, when a group of Sarkhai radicals, lead by Solas' old military school commander; Neepra Vallas Corano, attacked the Imperial Palace in a coup d'etat. It is now believed that they were helped into the palace. Someone opened the main gates, that someone is believed to have been Solas' friend Verac Normec. Now while Solas and his entire family were in the palace, they were separated by great distances. Solas was in the north yard of the palace training as he did everyday, his mother and sisters were home in the family quarters, and his father was in the council chambers. This unfortunately meant that his father was at the epicenter of the fighting when the attack started. No one was prepared for the attack, within the first hour the Radicals had taken control of the entire palace. Shortly after this at 6:17 PM, Sorban Rai Thorn was executed. Solas never even saw his father before his death. While this was happening Solas was rushing towards his home to make sure his mother and sisters were okay. But long before Solas could reach the living quarters wing, a large explosion was detonated, engulfing the entire wing in a massive fireball. Solas' mother and sisters died in the blast.

Shortly after this, while he was trying to figure out what he should do, Solas received a transmission from Narkan. In the message Solas learned of the coup and his father's execution. However, before Narkan could tell him anymore, Solas watched as one of his closest friends was gunned down by Radical insurgents. As Narkan dropped the com link, Solas got a clear image of the man that had just shot and killed Narkan, it was Verac. So in a matter of 5 minutes, Solas had lost everything; his mother, father, sisters, and one of his bestfriends were murdered, and his only other friend betrayed him.
Solas would proceed to flee the palace grounds and spend the next three weeks hiding out in the nearby mountains. After some time Solas figured that it would be safe to make his move and leave.

==== Escape from Sarkhai into Exile ====
After three weeks of hiding out in the mountains, Solas would sneak back onto the palace grounds. After using all the military training received over the past 8 years, to steal a speeder and enough supplies to reach the nearest spaceport. After selling the speeder, he would charter passage on a refugee freighter to the outer-rim. Thus ended the peaceful days of Solas' childhood. Now while his training as a child was a dark time in his life, the next decade would make those years seem like a great time.

== Adolescence/Exile ==
=== 12 ABY - 22 ABY ===
[[File:Refugee Solas.jpg|200px|thumb|left|16 year old Solas as a refugee. Showing early red war paint.]]
Following his flight from Sarkhai, Solas began living in the outer-rim. Planet hoping doing odd little jobs, he was doing his best to stay out of sight. He never ventured far enough into the interior to be recognized. It would be during this time, that Solas would begin to wear dark red war paint. There are many reasons that he changed this. Chief among them was safety. Only Sarkhai elite wore blue war paint, so with word spreading of the coup on Sarkhai, bounty hunters looking to make a quick buck, began taking out any Sarkhai with blue paint in hopes it was someone important. So to disappear, Solas began using the dark red of the Old Sarkhai Imperials. Not many remember the old empire, so most just thought he was just a common Sarkhai. After 6 years of planet hopping, to avoid the usurpers, Solas would settle on the far outer-rim planet of Troiken.
[[File:Assassin Solas.jpg|200px|thumb|left|20 year old Solas. On Troiken as an assassin. Showing the animalistic red war paint.]]
It would be on Troiken, that Solas would come into prominence as an assassin. Famed for his abilities. He believed that he had finally outrun his past. He could not have been more wrong. It would be on a mission on March 4, 22 ABY, that Solas' past would finally catch up to him. Another assassin, hired by the Radicals to kill Solas, had been searching for him for the past decade. The assassin finally caught up to him on Troiken. While Solas was attempting to kill a corrupt banking leader. Right before Solas was going to administer the killing blow, he would be attacked by the rival assassin. Solas survived the attack but his cover was exposed. He was forced to flee Troiken. However, before he could do this, his Force connection, and anger, lead to the Brotherhood to seek him out and guide him to the Shadow Academy. So without their knowing, the members of the Brotherhood had saved Solas' life. Finally after a decade of chaos and disorder, Solas had finally found the militaristic order and lifestyle that he had grown up knowing.

=The Dark Jedi Brotherhood=
== Early Years ==
=== 22 ABY - 25 ABY ===
[[File:Solas Day.jpg|200px|thumb|left|24 Year Old Solas, onboard the shuttle to Castle Tarentum]]
Solas' first three years in the Brotherhood, began the same as every other member. He would spend those years at the Shadow Academy.

Late in the year 25 ABY, Solas' master began administering the Test of Lore. Solas answered the first question with ease. His second question was initially met with a lapse in memory, but he quickly remebered the answer. He answered the remaining questions without problem. Having passed the Test of Lore, Solas was placed in [[Tarentum|House Tarentum]]. He had only a few minutes to gather his few belongings and say his goodbyes. Before he knew it he was onboard a shuttle, hurtling thru hyperspace towards Yridia II, home of Castle Tarentum.

As a new apprentice, Solas really didn't get much help when he first arrived, save for the house Rollmaster [[Kalmah Sidhe]]. Shortly before Solas landed on Yridia II, he was informed by the Brotherhood Master at Arms, that he would do well to contact a member of his house if they did not contact him first. Solas, always the ambitious one, didn't wait for his superiors to contact him. Before he landed, Solas send a message to Kalmah Sidhe. Doing this Kalmah responded to Solas' message and would meet Solas upon his arrival. This display of ambition and initiative, would earn Solas a very early promotion from Apprentice to Novice.

* ''It would be in 25 ABY, that Solas' Sarkhai blood would show itself. As with all Sarkhai, around his early to mid 20's, he would stop showing the physical signs of aging. And he still hasn't, Solas turned 41 this August, he still won't begin showing signs of againg for another 20 years.''

== Studies Era ==
=== 26 ABY - 35 ABY ===
The following decade of Solas' time in the Brotherhood, was completely uneventful. Solas was a very quiet person, prefering to keep to himself. He would only interact with others when he had too. Most of the time Solas could be found at the Shadow Academy, either in a lecture, in the library deep in a book, or in the meditation halls. If he wasn't in the Academy, he would be training his body. This was just a natural part of Solas' life, it had been since he was six.

He would often scare/surprise the other people at the gym. Now while he was in the 105 kg range, he is tall. This meant that he wasn't exactly a big guy. But thanks to his training, his small body was all muscle. This allowed him to lift and move around weight that some of the bigger guys couldn't.

The few times Solas would interact with the other members of his house, would be on missions off-world.
=== Off-World Missions ===
==== Nam Chorios Escort (27 ABY) ====
Solas' first off-world mission would be to join a group of [[Tarentum|House Tarentum]] members on an escort mission to the outer-rim world of Nam Chorios. The mission was successful, a near perfect job save for one blemish. Towards the tail end of the mission Solas' group would be ambushed by local rebels. Now while the deck was stacked in the favor of the Brotherhood members, as they were all highly trained, force sensitive, Dark Jedi several of whom were a high enough rank to wield a true lightsaber. But despite all these things the rebels fought in a style that most of the Brothers were unfamiliar with. They fought hand-to-hand, and with close quarters blades. Now these weren't vibro blades or any advanced weapons, these were archaic metal blades and they were not well maintained. Most of the Brothers only suffered minor scratches and cuts, a few received severe injuries, two died of their wounds. One thing that set Solas apart from the rest of his team, is while they were all highly trained fighters, Solas was the only one trained in close quarters hand-to-hand combat. This meant that while the rest of his team was on the defensive and trying to hold the enemy back, Solas was taking the fight to the rebels. Having seen so much of it in his young life Solas was quite familiar with death. He succeeded in ending the life of a dozen or so of the rebel fighters. As the dust settled the Brothers found that two of their brothers were dead and several were injured. One of the brothers was bleeding out from a large cut on his leg, dangerously close to the main artery in the leg. Thankfully the team had a med kit and was able to save the brother. Another team member was not as lucky. They found him kneeling in a pool of blood, from a massive cut in his midsection, screaming as he attempted to hold his intestines in. As the team began to freak out, none of them had ever seen a wound like it, Solas stepped forward and comforted the man. As the man calmed down Solas made the only choice he could. They did not have the equipment to save the man, they were too far in the wild. So Solas would move behind the man, comforting him all the way, and in one swift movement snapped the man's neck. Initially the other members of his team turned on Solas for killing one of their brothers. They were eventually persuaded to allow Solas to live after he explained that he had seen wounds like that before, and unless they had a full med kit or med droid, the man would have died in agony in transport to the ship.

*''This would be the first of many reasons that Solas' teammates would always trust in Solas' judgement.''

==== Eriadu Infiltration (29 ABY) ====
Late in the year 29 ABY, Solas would be selected for a mission on the outer-rim trade center of Eriadu. Solas was part of team that were to infiltrate the Governors Palace in Eriadu City. The Brotherhood had intercepted a message detailing plans of the Jedi order to attempt to strengthen Eriadu place in the New Republic.

== Trivia ==
*Solas is only the second Sarkhai in history to be Force sensitive. The first being [[starwars:Nadia_Grell|Nadia Grell]].
*Now while he appears to be in his early 20's, Solas is, in fact, in his early 40's. Sarkhai live far longer than normal humans. And age in a interesting way; they age normally up until the early to mid 20's, then most won't begin to show signs of aging until their 60's.
*Members of the Sarkhai Elite traditionally wear blue war paint, in simple designs. This is how Solas wore his, up until his exile from Sarkhai. It was then that he began wearing dark red war paint, this allowed him to stay true to his heritage, while still remaining hidden from the usurpers. However even after he became a member of the Brotherhood, Solas continued to wear red war paint. Also as he grew, Solas' paint would continue to grow in intricacy and complexity of design until the death of his wife. After that he reverted back to a very simplistic design, appearing around his eyes and on his cheeks.

==Birth to 30 ABY==
In 12 ABY Tharess was born to his mother Adria and his later estranged father Darik on their homeworld of Hapes. For the majority of his life Tharess had a very easy life growing up in a wealthy family, he always had everything he wanted, however he always had trouble making friends due to his prominent Force-Sensativity, so when he turned 18 he decided to leave Hapes to explore the greater galaxy.

For the next year Tharess was forced to work as a dancing slave on Nar Shaddaa until he met Wolfe a Mandalorian freed and then married him. After they married the two decided to settle down in Theed on Naboo where they have lived for 7 years even through the Tharess' time in the brotherhood.
==Daddy Issues==
It was not a secret that Tharess held great disdain for his father for his absence in his life, though it was only after speaking to his mother about him that Tharess really started to hate him. In truth his father distanced himself from Tharess due to his sensitivity to the Force. It took him a year to track his father down to a bar on Nar Shaddaa, the confrontation escalated quickly and Tharess ended up killing him by smashing a bottle over his neck breaking the bottle and the neck instantly, earning frightened faces, turning to them he only said "My Mother told me to do it."
==The Erilese==
A J-Type Star Skiff Tharess purchased from the Theed Palace Space Vessel Engineering Corps for his personal use along with a TC unit protocol droid. Tharess with the help of his husband, have re-outfitted the vessel with a better hyperdrive and have added several weapon systems.

'''Ranarr Kul''' is... a fighter. The young Cathar has already been through a lot, but he managed to keep strong. Ranarr fights his way past every obstacle and the Force grows stronger within him after each event.

== Character History ==
=== Early Life ===
Ranarr was only a little whelp when his mother got taken away from his side. A Mandalorian named B'arin managed, with the aid of many Mandalorian soldiers, to overtake the city named Kuzil. The Cathar living in that city fought bravely but many male species died and females were taken to become slaves. This included Ranarr's mother.

This was the first time Ranarr felt The Darkness within him.

When the Mandalorians left Kuzil, the remaining young Cathar grouped together. Ranarr saw some die, some survived by scavenging bodies of those who died and searching the partly destroyed houses for food.

===Puberty===
[[File:Seridan Miro.jpg|thumb|left|90px|Nagbecca]]At the time Ranarr hit puberty he was on Kashyyyk under the care of a Wookiee named Nagbecca.
Nagbecca was crew-member of a Trading-Ship that made an emergency landing close to Kuzil. In Ranarr's city, or at least the remains of it, Nagbecca searched for reparation-parts for the ship. He found them, as he found Ranarr also.
Ranarr didn't have much strength left, he hadn't eaten for several days. The nearly dead Cathar was taken by the Wookiee and they became friends.

It was Nagbecca that gave Ranarr his Ryyk Blade as a token of their friendship.

===Becoming adult===
{{Quote|This is your hrrtayyk, get ready!|Nagbecca}}
Being on Kashyyyk and being seen as one of the Wookiee, Ranarr had to take part in a coming-of-age ceremony. Although he was Cathar, after his Test of Ascension, Ranarr's inner strength and rage were almost equal to those of a male Wookiee.

With the growing Darkness within Ranarr, the Wookiee could no longer control him. They made him leave Kashyyyk. Now Itshim started traveling from planet to planet.

====39ABY-...====
At the age of 21, Ranarr joined The Brotherhood. He joined the order of the [[Krath]] and was assigned to Clan [[Tarentum]]. In the Clan he met [[Pel]], a powerfull and wise human, who was willing to become the Cathar's Master.

====Within the Brotherhood====
As [[Pel]] was asked to meet [[Samael Ozriel]], Ranarr (being Pel's Apprentice) joined them. Sam was the Leader of Battleteam Inmortuae and after a while, going on several missions, Ranarr fell in favor with him. The Cathar became Battleteam Sergeant.

One day Sam went missing and Ranarr claimed his quarters, making himself Battleteam Leader. He immediatly anounced that changes were at hand.

== Physical Description ==
Ranarr is a muscular male cat-like humanoid. His entire body is covered in dark-brown fur and on his head he has light brown thick manes, nearly covering his shoulders. Rising up between those manes: two big, pointy ears. The right ear has a triangular rupture, a wound he got during his hrrtayyk ceremony. The eyes of the Cathar are intense green, the left-one is concealed with an eyepatch, no one knows what happened to that eye and no one dares to ask.

===Weapons===
====DL-18 Blaster Pistol====
Bought for the price of 750 credits. When Ranarr found out he was charged a whole lot to much, he killed the individual who sold it to him.
[[File:Ryykitshim.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Itshim's Ryyk Blade]]

====Neuronic Whip====
The weapon of the Mandalorian that enslaved Ranarr's mother. Ranarr managed to find and kill him.

==== Ryyk Blade====
Ranarr's favourite weapon, probably because of it's high emotional value. Once owned by a Wookiee, now adjusted to fit the Cathar's hand perfectly.

== Positions held ==
Battleteam Sergeant of Inmortuae of [[Tarentum]].

Battleteam Leader of Inmortuae of [[Tarentum]].

== Trivia ==
* Pel's mop-closet was assigned as Ranarr's quarters during his first days in The Brotherhood.
* Ranarr Kul joined The Brotherhood under the name "Itshim". Being elevated to the rank of Dark Jedi Knight and obtaining his Lightsabre made him remember his name.

}}'''Halcyon Taldrya''' is a veteran of the [[Dark Brotherhood]], learning the ways of the dark side for over a decade. His ultimate destination passed through many roads, from orphan to engineer; pilot to intelligence officer. His journey has also taken him through two families. Becoming a brother to [[Vassan Rokir]], he however learned of his actual family and the knowledge that his name was not just for show. He however dismissed the light, preferring the shadows and staying with the one place that had helped him grow.

Once depending solely on his skill with starfighters and other space-worthy vessels, Halcyon has slowly diversified himself over the years, learning and succeeding at covert operations as well as becoming adept at ground combat and mastering the use of the lightsaber. A long-time leader within the Brotherhood, Halcyon has held numerous positions including [[Combat Master]] and [[Deputy Grand Master]].

== Character History ==
=== Early Life ===
For the better part of his life, Halcyon was unaware of who his parents were or of any family. However, his past has opened up to him in recent years, filling in the one piece of his life that had always eluded him. Halcyon was born to a Jedi Master, Aerick Halcyon and his Corellian wife and [[starwars:CorSec|CorSec]] officer, Loira. He also had an older brother, Michael, who was almost four at the time of his birth. Born during the infancy of the Galactic Empire and the Jedi Purges, Halcyon’s family had hidden themselves in a monastery on Drall, one of the planets in the [[starwars:Corellian System|Corellian System]]. It was in this monastery where Loira gave birth to a second son, and also where they left that boy as they feared they would not be able to hide both force-sensitive children from the dreaded [[starwars:Darth Vader|Darth Vader]].

==== Keeping Safe ====
''17 BBY – 1 BBY''

His heritage hidden from him, Halcyon grew up in the monastery for 10 years, learning from the monks about the galaxy at large while he performed small errands throughout the complex. A Master Shipbuilder had come to the monastery on day, knowing it acted as a refuge for children without homes. Needing someone to perform menial tasks, as well as an apprentice to mold into his image, the Master Shipbuilder believed Halcyon to fit his needs and convinced the monks to transfer him to his care. For the next 6 years, Halcyon worked at one of the many space-docks in the Corellian System, learning the art of shipmaking while running various jobs for his Master.

However by the age of 16 Halcyon had grown tired of life in the space-dock and yearned for more. Although under the care of the Master Shipbuilder, Halcyon stowed away on a freighter that had docked for repairs. The freighter’s next destination was the Corporate Sector where he managed to sneak back out and used the knowledge he had learned the past few years to earn a job as an engineer on an old [[starwars:YT-1000 freighter|YT-1000 freighter]].

==== Living Life ====
''1 BBY – 15 ABY''

For the next 16 years Halcyon moved from sector to sector, job to job. Each time he made a new name for himself, starting fresh in his new surroundings. Although the galaxy went through numerous changes during this time, Halcyon stayed on the fringes, content to see and do as he pleased. During this time he had learned to fly, operate and maintain numerous fighters and freighters. He did not however have any long-tern friends, relationships or an actual home. That all changed when a freighter he piloted was to unload a shipment on a world called Aurora Prime. Upon landing, as he did on all planets, Halcyon took a tour of the main city. This time he became enthralled and felt a deep connection to this new place. Passing a recruitment office for the [http://www.ehtiecorps.org/ Tie Corps] of the [[Emperor's Hammer]], he took in all of the information he could. Finding the idea of using state of the art equipment as well as a more permanent home alluring, he applied on the spot, using the first name that seemed to come to mind, “Halcyon”.

=== The Emperor’s Hammer ===
==== Tie Corps ====
''15 ABY – 19 ABY''
[[File:Halcyonuniform.jpg|thumb|100px|right|Halcyon's Tie Corps Uniform when Wing Commander of Wing IV]]

Next to all of the other new trainees Halcyon was already quite old, but his past experiences helped him quickly move into a squadron. His career began on the flagship of the Emperor’s Hammer, the SSSD Sovereign in Wing IV as part of Yod squadron. His skill was immediately apparent and within a few months he was asked to join the Elite Intelligence Division squadron, Praetorian. Although tasked with being the Escort Squadron of the Supreme Director, the pilots in Praetorian were also given intensive special operations training, making them useful outside of their cockpit as well.

Having gone through a number of Tours of Duty with Praetorian and already a Major in the Tie Corps, Halcyon returned to Wing IV and eventually became Commander of Yod squadron. Yod proved to be one of the most dependable squadrons on the flagship during his time in command, successfully completing the bulk of their missions. Halcyon walked away from leadership as a Lieutenant Colonel, become a regular flight member once more. However he came back and became Wing Commander of Wing IV, restoring the Wing to a level of renown once more and earning him Colonel in the process.

==== Dark Brotherhood ====
''17 ABY – 19 ABY''
[[File:Halcyongoa.gif|thumb|150px|left|Halcyon's old Grant of Arms]]

Halcyon’s ability with a starfighter was well known to his squad mates in Praetorian, but his success on the ground was also outstanding. Urged by his friends Halcyon went to Eos and found that he was force sensitive. Wanting to develop those talents he joined the Dark Brotherhood and became a Sith, member of [[House Oriens Obscurum]] in [[Arcona|Clan Arcona]]. His powers quickly developed, earning the use of a lightsaber prior to the great [[Fourth Great Jedi War|Vendetta]] as well as cementing the name of Pandragon as one of the great Sith Battleteams, leading them from the moment he was an [[Acolyte]].

For all of his actions he was given the [[Quaestor]] position in Oriens Obscurum when his mentor, E. Tarkin, was elevated to [[Consul]] of Arcona. He also joined the [[Equite]] ranks at this time. After a successful term as Quaestor, Halcyon stepped down but was soon asked to be Aedile of the House and held that position under a succession of other Quaestor’s. During this time his powers continued to grow, managing to elevate himself to the rank of [[Sith Battlelord]] and a prominent member of the Clan.

==== Intelligence Division ====
''18 ABY – 19 ABY''

Although no longer a member of Praetorian, those in the Intelligence Division still kept their eyes on him. Supreme Director Jordynn was tasked to rebuild the ID as it had grown stagnant over time. Needing a skilled and sturdy hand she called upon Halcyon to take on the reins of the Bureau of Operations, giving him a new persona in the form of Major Gryph. Although there for only a very short while Halcyon re-organized the entire Bureau, strengthening both Branches and making it an effective organization once more. The Bureau was the best run at the time of his leaving, having been promoted to Lieutenant Colonel during the re-organization process. Halcyon was soon called back to duty with the ID and asked to join the secretive Bureau of Internal Organization.

In recent years Halcyon met and became a trusted friend of [[Syn Kaek]], a key mastermind behind the Intelligence Division at the same time Halcyon was a Bureau Director. It is also rumoured that Halcyon’s other persona may still be active and has perhaps been strengthened with his current association to the former Intel officer.

==== Injustice ====
''18 ABY''

Although a well known and popular pilot with others, Halcyon’s skill was also seen as a threat to many. During a flight competition in the Dark Brotherhood, evidence was planted against him by powerful forces in the Emperor’s Hammer, implicating him in various charges. Although evidence was found to exonerate him, the High Court of Inquisitors forbade additional evidence other than what was initially brought to them. Easily found guilty, Halcyon was stripped of his Tie Corps ranks and medals, as well as his Dark Brotherhood medals and his powers reverted back to that of a [[Novice]]. Seeing the hypocrisy of the Fleet, Halcyon focused his energies on the force instead. Such actions would make certain decision later on much simpler.

=== Exodus and Beyond ===
==== Rebirth ====
''19 ABY''

Perhaps the largest event in Dark Brotherhood history, the [[Exodus]] was a catalyst for many dark jedi at the time. Tearing away from the Emperor’s Hammer, decisions had to be made by all of those involved. For Halcyon, such a decision was simple as he left the EH behind, leaving many friends by knowing he was destined for more than to be a cog in a bureaucratic mess. During the confusion of the time, Halcyon took the reigns of House Oriens Obscurum once more, his past abilities needed to help steady a group in turmoil.

With a new beginning for everyone, Halcyon brought his case before the Grand Master and the newly created [[Chamber of Justice]]. Seeing the previous injustice wrought upon him, the leaders of the Dark Brotherhood re-instated Halcyon to the rank of Sith Battlelord as well as returned all of his previous medals.

==== Growth ====
''19 ABY – 20 ABY''

With a new beginning for Dark Brotherhood Halcyon also decided to test new waters. With the position of [[Commander of the Guard]] opening he applied and was awarded the job. As he brought together a new group of Grand Master’s Royal Guards, he was also pushed to his own physical limits, the training involved much more than what he was ever accustomed too. Halcyon’s body went from that of a pilot to one of a true warrior. After completing the longest single-term as CoG, Halcyon stepped down and was elevated to the [[Elder]] ranks for his efforts.

Having made the leap into the world of the [[Obelisk]], Halcyon next found himself a part of a once “Krath” organization, the [[Antei Combat Center]]. Taking on the role of second-in-command, Halcyon proved himself adept at handling the duties of the Center, as well as becoming a successful participant himself.

==== Responsibility ====
''20 ABY – 25 ABY''

Returning to Arcona after his stint on the Dark Council, Halcyon turned his attentions to helping the Clan continue its growth. Beginning with [[Aedile]] of [[Qel-Droma]], Halcyon took increasing positions of prominence within the Clan. It was also during this time that Halcyon began a part of a true family, his friend [[Vassan Rokir|Vassan]] adopting him as a “brother” into the [[Rokir|Rokir family]], a family known for a legacy of architecture and building, talents Halcyon carried relating to starships and fighters. Although since having removed the name "Rokir" from official records, he still views Vassan as a brother-in-arms and will stand by his side should it ever be needed.

Such responsibilities finally culminated as Consul of Arcona, a position he held for a short while before the politics of the position caused him to step down and clear his head away from the Clan itself. However Halcyon couldn’t stay away for long, called back to once again help his home. Helping House Oriens Obscurum he was finally thrust once more into the seat of Consul, preparing the Clan for a great war in the Dark Brotherhood. Although many bickering forces threatened to split the Clan apart, cohesion was held and Arcona weathered what would be called the [[Seventh Great Jedi War]]. Before the war began Halcyon was elevated to the esteemed rank of [[Dark Jedi Master]] with powers that saw him successfully lead his Clan.

==== Changing Pace ====
''25 ABY – 26 ABY''

With the culmination of the war, Halcyon once again found himself yearning for more. Having spent his entire time in Clan Arcona, he felt he no longer had any room for growth, deciding to leave his home and venture to the [[Taldryan|Clan Taldryan]]. There he hoped to truly expand his powers and train in both body and mind against and unfamiliar yet powerful Clan. Only through pushing his limits would Halcyon achieve his full potential.

Halcyon also finally came face to face with his past, learning of his heritage as an actual “Halcyon”, his brother being the traitorous Jedi Master [[Michael Halcyon]]. However, he has rejected such ties, keeping himself away from the other Halcyon Jedi, most of who fight for the [[starwars:New Republic|New Republic]].

Upon stepping down from Consul, Halcyon was given the opportunity to work alongside Syn Kaek as his [[Praetor]], much of his time then spent on [[Antei]] instead of in his “new” home. After numerous months Kaek decided to venture into the unknown, leaving Halcyon as the new [[Master at Arms]]. Taking on these new responsibilities, he had to give up his duties as Deputy Combat Master and took a more permanent residence in the [[Dark Hall]]. Continuing from where Kaek had left Halcyon continued with the re-organization of the MAA office, butting heads with many around the Dark Brotherhood, but ensuring a set of standards were in place.

==== Turmoil ====
''26 ABY - 27 ABY''

As long-time [[Grand Master]] [[Jac Cotelin]] decided to step down from his position, the elevation of [[Sarin]] to Grand Master left a void in the [[Dark Council]]. Halcyon was asked to become the next [[Deputy Grand Master]], a position he readily accepted. However, beset by those who had nothing left to offer the Dark Brotherhood, Halcyon's time as second-in-command was tumultuous. However, a [[Second Darkness|Rite of Supremacy]] devoid of Order was successfully run, weeding the weak and allowing the strong to rise to prominence. Named a [[Sith Lord|Lord of the Sith]], his time as DGM still soured him, his resignation announced immediately following the end of the RoS.

At the same moment [[Dalthid]] had decided to lessen his time in the ACC, opening up the spot of Combat Master. Halcyon was asked to take over, one of the few with the knowledge and skill necessary to run the complicated operations. With much of the politics of the Dark Brotherhood removed from ACC operations, Halcyon accepted the new position.

[[File:Halcyonpic.jpg|thumb|150px|left|Halcyon in his ACC combat clothing]]

==== New Status Quo ====
''27 ABY - 30 ABY''

Accepting his new position, Halcyon had also decided on once again joining a Clan, returning to the only place that felt anything like a home to him. With the permission of the Consul, Halcyon was once again a member of [[House Dinaari]] in Clan Taldryan, just as the [[Eighth Great Jedi War|Yuuzhan Vong attacked]] the unsuspecting Dark Brotherhood. For the next week Halcyon and the rest of his Clan fled into the Shroud, battling off their pursuers as they reached Antei itself. Reaching the home of their Brotherhood, Halcyon saw flashes of what was to come, and what may be. Although in the middle of a heated battle Halcyon left his Clan to ensure the continued survival of the ACC, journeying to Antei and retrieving the necessary tools to help re-build.

Bringing stability to the ACC once more he has passed on the reins of leadership to others, planning to slowly move into the background. Yet with the sudden resignation of his Consul, [[Duga Taldrya Arkarso|Duga]], a new door had opened for the veteran Sith. Although previous stints as Consul had left a bitter taste in his mouth, even to this day, the opportunity to lead Taldryan was one he could not pass up. With agreement from the Grandmaster, Deputy Grand Master and Duga himself, Halcyon was given control of Taldryan as its new Consul.

Although Consul for less than a year, Halcyon fought to keep Taldryan the sea of stability that always characterized it. During his reign the [[Rybanloth System]] was overrun by pirates and a task force led by his Proconsul, Chaosrain, took the System back. New plans of action were implemented to ensure Taldryan's sister-system was given the same level of protection and prominence as any other system in the Dark Brotherhood would hold. Stepping down as Consul, Halcyon returned to his own personal studies, before being asked once more to step into another leadership role.

==== Old Ways; New Change ====
''30 ABY - 31 ABY''

Having spent years as part of the Antei Combat Center, Halcyon had noticed its recent decline since he was last a part of its staff. Taking his concerns to the Dark Council, he was asked to take the reigns of Combat Master once more. Years of leadership and dealing with the personal aspirations of many others had taken their toll, but he set aside such misgivings to rebuild the ACC foundation. Long-time Combat Master Dalthid also joined, ensuring the Center would find it's lustre once more. With clouds of war gathering on the horizon it was decided that the Center would once more focus on ensuring the newest dark jedi in the Brotherhood's fold would be given the chance to prove their worth to the organization. Their blades would be needed for what was to come.

As the ACC regained it's legs, [[Ninth Great Jedi War|War]] was upon them once more. Grand Master [[Sarin|Sarin's]] vision of re-taking Antei had finally come to pass, the entire Brotherhood called into action to ensure its success. The enemy they faced was not what they had expected, the Vong threat replaced with a band of jedi unknown to the rest of the Brotherhood or the Galaxy at large. The Brotherhood was ultimately victorious, taking their home back, but at the cost of their Grand Master's life and countless others. Although Taldryan had shown once more they were not to be trifled with, it was Halcyon's former Clan, Arcona, who had proved themselves the true power during the invasion. For Halcyon himself the time had shown that he wished to once more step away from leadership, his dealings with those "on the ground" showing that was where he currently belonged. Stepping down as Combat Master Halcyon turned to focus on his own studies. It did not take long for the Elder to be thrust into leadership, [[Shadow Taldrya|Shadow's]] departure leaving the Clan rudderless. Stepping in on a temporary basis Halcyon smoothed over the operations of the Clan, taking on [[Vodo Biask Taldrya|Vodo]] as his Proconsul. He stayed on for only a few months, ensuring the Clan had a firm foundation once more before turning the Clan over to the Twi'lek.

==== For the Brotherhood ====
''31 ABY - 36 ABY''

Halcyon had finally managed to extract himself from the day-to-day operations of the Brotherhood, taking time for himself to travel the galaxy. Although adventures abounded, he once more returned to the DB. Although not immediately taking up a leadership role, he did offer his services in an advisory role to the Grand Master, while also playing a role in the near-victory for Taldryan during the [[Spoils of War|taking of Salas V]]. A restructuring of the Dark Council led the Sith back onto the main body of the Brotherhood, becoming the first [[Voice of the Brotherhood]]. He spent much of this time travelling to the various Star Systems that fell under the banner of the Brotherhood, bringing the word of the Grand Master. With the disappearance of Darth Sarin, Halcyon was called upon to take on the mantle of Deputy Grand Master for a second time. He immediately set to work on a new Coliseum for use during the next [[Independence Games]] while finding a new source of income for the Brotherhood. [[Tempest Omega|Operation Tempest Omega]] succeeded in finding that new source of funding for the Brotherhood, after its previous source had been broken. Utilizing a "Retreat" built on [[starwars:Osarian|Osarian]] for the super-wealthy, the Dark Brotherhood is now able to secure large sums of funds while also able to discreetly hide all other forms of business behind their more legitimate practices.

[[File:GreatjediwarXmichaelgonbedead.png|thumb|right|200px|Halcyon and his brother Michael commence their final duel.]]
The [[Independence_Games#Independence Games IV (2011)|Fourth Independence Games]] were successful, but a long-simmering feud was to come to a head. After months of discussion, the [[Tenth Great Jedi War|Invasion of New Tython]] was declared. Although what was to be a clear-cut victory was instead a hard-fought battle as [[Odan-Urr]] had allies in the form of Rokir's estranged brother, Michael Halcyon and a band of [[starwars:Mandalorian|Mandalorian]] mercenaries. In the end [[New Tython]] was brought under the heel of the Brotherhood, and Halcyon had killed his brother Michael in a climatic duel. Shortly thereafter a brother-in-arms also found death. [[Syn Kaek]], on a mission known only to himself, was killed. The remainder of his belongings found their way to Halcyon's desk, with no way to trace how they arrived. Halcyon has vowed to take revenge on those who stole his friends life and he keeps the remaining tokens close at hand.

For a brief moment it appeared that stability beginning to take a hold, after so much death and destruction had occurred during Halcyon's time on the Council. It was just an illusion as the Brotherhood's past came roaring back in the form of former [[Zoraan|Grand Master Zoraan]]. Presumed dead, Zoraan sought to reclaim the [[Iron Throne]] utilizing an impressive fleet as well as a new bioweapon. The crisis, which has come to be known as [[Horizons]], sent all Clans and Houses back on their heels. Halcyon, along with what forces remained on [[Antei]], fought back against the usurpers and were ultimately successful, although not before a great toll had been taken. Tired of the personal price that had been extracted from him, Halcyon stepped away from the Dark Council and the various responsibilities that had been his burden.

== Miscellaneous Descriptions ==
=== Physical ===
[[File:Halcyon Robes v2.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Current robes worn by Halcyon]]
Halcyon stands at 1.8 meters, weighing nearly 82 kilograms. Although once having the perfect “pilot’s” body, he has since added well defined musculature to his frame which he keeps finely honed through much training. His most striking features are his hair and eyes, both a deep emerald in color. Such color is natural, although it has never been known how such coloring occurred. One theory that has been suggested is Halcyon’s path to the dark side when compared to all other force-sensitive Halcyon’s going to the light. Such rejection may have contributed to a rejection of regular physical features as well. Regardless, Halcyon wears his hair long and normally has it tied tightly at the back. He also keeps a neatly trimmed goatee.

====Custom Robes====
During his reign as Voice of the Brotherhood, Halcyon had a new set of robes designed for him that were not just for show. Although the colour scheme was maintained, all of the material was upgraded to be effective during the heat of battle. The tunic, pants and cloak are all made from [[starwars:armorweave|armorweave]] while the chest, legs and forearm plating are made from [[starwars:durasteel|durasteel]]. A less-armoured version of these robes are used on a day-to-day basis. The armorweave is replaced with [[starwars:zeyd-cloth|zeyd-cloth]] and the durasteel with hardened [[starwars:corellian leather|corellian leather]]. Only during formal occasions or in times of battle will the armoured-robes be used.

=== Personality ===
Being so in tune with the dark side causes many dark jedi to be twisted by such powers, forming many split personalities, psychosis or very angry and destructive personalities. Halcyon however has managed to overcome or bypass such tendencies. Having experienced and seen much prior to developing his force powers Halcyon has been able to keep his head and push through the more psychotic tendencies, even while delving deeper into such strange and powerful forces.

It is only during battle that Halcyon reverts to a more destructive form, forgoing compassion and restraint focusing instead on victory and completing the task at hand. Outside of that, Halcyon is normally easy-going with those he considers friends and acquaintances, although many others can see him as unemotional or detached, his face normally inscrutable in public.

With those he considers friends however he is much more relaxed and at ease. It is a far cry from how he holds himself in public with only a select few really seeing that side of his personality.

=== Weapons ===
==== Custom Vibroblades ====
[[File:Vibroblade.jpg|thumb|150px|right|One blade]]

These intricately made blades are each 20 centimetres long. The entire weapon is perfectly balanced, allowing for ease of use. Although untraditional in style, these vibroblades were made to withstand the rigors of battle. The hilts contain the power core, as well as specially modified sound dampeners. The vibrations no longer emit noise from the blades. The blades also have specially designed sheaths, which recharge the blades as they’re sheathed. A full charge will last nearly 5 hours of straight usage, without needing to recharge. The sheaths are designed to match the hilt of the blades.

==== Bryar Pistol ====
[[File:Halc-bryar.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Halcyon's custom bryar pistol]]
Upon joining Taldryan, Halcyon became familiar with the use of the bryar pistol. Over time the weapon became a part of his regular arsenal along with a single lightsaber. Upon his most recent Dark Council re-joining, the Taldrya had a custom bryar pistol made for him. Unlike regular bryar's that are customized from a rifle, this weapon was designed from scratch for the intended use as a pistol. It still carries the signature look and feel of the weapon, but with the added reliability of a weapon made for a single purpose. The pistol's outer casing uses many of the same materials as Halcyon's current lightsaber. The blaster also fires bolts of green energy in both single and charged-forms.

==== Lightsabers ====
[[File:Halc-sabers.jpg|thumb|250px|right|Halcyon's Lightsabers]]
Halcyon has built four separate hilts during his career and each one survives to this day. His first lightsaber like many other new Dark Jedi Knights, is of a common design, taken from the Dark Brotherhood databanks. By using a treated yellow [[starwars:Adegan crystal|Adegan crystal]] provided by his Clan, the blade was of an orange-hue. The hilt of the blade was gold and black.

His second and third lightsabers are each similar in design and fashion. His second used a yellow Adegan crystal while his third used a blue Adegan. The hilts themselves were simplistic in nature, using materials found close at hand. However each blade had magnetic bottoms that could be activated by pushing in the little round bubble on the bottoms of the hilts. When put together, the blades turned into a [[double bladed lightsaber]]. A release button caused the lightsabers to detach.

With technical help from the [[Herald]] [[Muz]], Halcyon’s fourth hilt is his most complex to date. The hilt itself is a thin layer of [[starwars:Coruscant|Coruscanti]] marble wrapped around a hollowed [[starwars:durasteel|durasteel]] alloy bar. The marble finish has been dyed emerald. Using a green Adegan for the blade, Halcyon also had a [[starwars:Nextor|Nextor]] and [[starwars:Opila|Opila]] crystal incorporated as focusing crystals.

As a final culmination of his skills, Halcyon decided to forgo traditional blade methods. Receiving a vision of crystal-like beings, he searched them out and located them on the far off planet of [[starwars:Hurikane|Hurikane]], killing one of these beings and taking from it a perfect [[starwars:Hurrikaine crystal|purple crystal]]. Gutting his marble-hilt, Halcyon replaced his Adegan with this new crystal, as well as installing a much more powerful cell to power the entire unit. Using the force as guidance, he fine-tuned the mechanics, and upon activating it saw that he had created a nearly [[UV lightsabers|invisible blade]]. The blade exists as ultra-violet light, the power cell making the blade radiate much more heat than normal but draining the cell at a quicker rate as well.

Halcyon has since returned to a more traditional blade due to the increased need of his blade in battle. Although still having the components needed for a UV-blade, using a regular lightsaber blade is much more functional for longer periods of use. Slight adjustments were made to the blade itself, a darker hue and narrowing to a tip are the more noticeable changes from its previous incarnation.

'''Arron Saylos''' is a Dark Jedi, and a member of the [[Dark Jedi Brotherhood]]. He was born in 15 ABY before being made a slave on Nar Shadda. He is a memberr of Clan [[Scholae Palatinae]].
==Biography==
===Early Life: [[starwars:15 ABY|15 ABY]]-[[starwars:25 ABY|25ABY]]===
[[File:Picture-Cathar_Tree.png|thumb|left|200px|The city tree where Arron was raised.]]

Arron Saylos was born on the [[starwars:Cathar|Cathar]] Homeworld and lived in a small tree-village with his mother, father and brother Orde. The two of them were distinguished by the unique near black coats they possessed, a trait inherited from their mother. His father was a hunter, whom Arron greatly admired. When he was nine years old, Arron followed his father and several other hunters when they went on a hunting trip, despite having been told to stay behind. He was almost killed by a beast, before his father killed it, saving Arron's life.

===A Crucible:[[starwars:25 ABY|25 ABY]]-[[starwars:37 ABY|37ABY]] ===
In [[starwars:25 ABY|25 ABY]], when Arron was 10 years of age, a group of strangers came to the village asking permission to stay in the village for protection from the dangerous animals that live on the planet. However these strangers were actually slavers who, during the night, set up a beacon letting their ship know where they were.
Arron witnessed the murder of his mother and father who attempted to fight back, and he and his brother were taken captive along with all the other children. Arron was separated from his brother and taken to [[starwars:Nar Shaddaa|Nar Shaddaa]] where he was sold to a [[starwars:Hutt|Hutt]] crime lord, whom he would labor for for the next 8 years.

When he was 18 he witnessed an overseer beating a fellow slave, and Arron's rage finally manifested itself as he tapped into the [[starwars:Dark Side of the Force|Dark side of the Force]] for the first time in his life, murdering the overseer. Dazed and confused by what happened Arron ran away, and stowed away on a cargo ship leaving Nar Shaddaa. The Hutt who owned him, meanwhile, placed a bounty on Arron's head, forcing him to stay on the run.

[[File:Space station SWG.jpg|thumb|150px|right|The Silver Eagle.]]
Two years later Arron came to a space station in the [[starwars:Outer Rim|Outer Rim]], called the Silver Eagle. Believing no one would look for him in so out of the way of a place, Arron chose to remain and became close friends with several other occupants, and began to find some semblance of peace. However several months after he had taken up residence, one of the workers discovered Arron's bounty, and sold him out to the bounty hunters looking for him.

When they came for him, Arron instinctively tapped the Dark Side once again, and fought back. But he was outnumbered, and inexperienced, and was overwhelmed. Fortunately two [[Dark Jedi Brotherhood|Dark Jedi]] had been on the station repairing their ship, and witnessed the event. They killed the bounty hunters and offered Arron training and a place in the brotherhood. Having been betrayed by his new friends, and knowing more bounty hunters would come for him, Arron accepted.

===A New Beginning===
After the events on the space station Arron became very introverted, never willing to trust others, and rarely socializing. After a period of basic training in the Shadow Academy, Arron was taken to [[Judecca]] and became a member of [[Scholae Palatinae]]. On Judecca he met [[Evant Taelyan]], his master, mentor, and eventual friend.
Evant encouraged his student to grow in his mastery of the force, and to be more trusting, often trying to get the scarred youth to be more open to his fellow Dark Jedi. After several months, Arron had grown significantly in his training, but still was very distrusting towards others, and very aggressive in combat, including simple sparring sessions with other apprentices.

Over the course of his apprenticeship Arron had taken part in several missions, including his participation in the [[Cainian Strikes|effort to reclaim]] [[Caina]], during which he witnessed first hand the defeat of Fias Zhan's apprentice Lorand. When not on missions or training he was known to wander the city streets, even into the late hours of the night.

==Personality and Traits==
Early in his life Arron was most likely a very social and energetic child. He was curious about many things, and would often ask questions of those older members of his village. He was friendly, and playful, especial towards his brother, and others their age. More than anyone he was protective toward his brother.

Due to his many experiences with deception and betrayal in his adolescence Arron has come to believe that he cannot trust anyone. He is closed off from all other members of the brotherhood, interacting with them as rarely as possible, spending most of his spare time wandering, or training. During missions he speaks only in the event he has something that needs to be said, and letting others do all the speaking. Though most could never guess it from his outward appearance, he did retain his childhood curiosity, though it now took the form of an intense desire to learn.

He has a strong desire to become powerful, as his life as a slave was mainly powerless, and he never wants to return to being powerless. Also due to his years spent as a slave, he has a strong hatred for the concept of slavery, and those who abuse their power over the powerless.
Arron is also very observant, watching his allies and enemies, quickly able to pick up on their mannerisms and personality types, and using this information to predict their next actions.

====Appearance====
Arron has a very unusual appearance for a cathar, as he was born with midnight black fur, and bright green eyes. This was due to a genetic mutation that very few cathar possess, and was shared by Arron's brother Orde. Although this made them stand out among their village, it was not treated as a stigma the way other cultures would have done.
Aside from his mutated traits, he possesses fairly common cathar traits. His hair is braided like dreadlocks, pulled back to form a ponytail that reaches to his shoulders.
After the events of the Eleventh Great Jedi war, Arron also posses a cybernetic right arm, after losing his real arm during battle.

The '''Histya''', also known as a '''Tuktuk''' or '''Banuu''' in some regions and a '''Tythonian Herdbeast''' by colonists, is a quadrupedal herbivore indigenous to the planet [[New Tython]]. Found in several subspecies on multiple continents and rugged enough to survive most climates, they are one of the primary beasts of burden for [[Harakoan]] villagers and are often kept as livestock. Wild and feral herds also exist, and are hunted by several Harakoan tribes as well as colonist hunters and ranchers.

==Evolution and History==

The Histya and its ancestors date back millions of years, and have seen their evolution and spread across New Tython mirrored by that of Harakoans and their early Harakonid ancestors. A rugged creature, they ascended from smaller, more mobile quadrupeds before migrating across the surface of Harakoa following an ice age on the planet.

As the world's glaciers and ice bridges retreated, trapping several of the animals in isolated populations on different continents, they would largely adapt to their different surroundings with only a few fringe groups maintaining their arctic adaptations and size to cope with extreme cold. As time went on, they would become domesticated by many tribes as herd or pack animals, while remaining wild populations would roam and be hunted by other Harakoans, as well as predators such as the [[Fullasi cat|Fullasi]].

Over time, different tribes would put them to different uses, some keeping them as simple livestock while others built nomadic lifestyles around their ability to pack hundreds of pounds of supplies over anything but desert terrain; many, such as the [[Iwu Gioki]], would incorporate them as religious sacrifices, practices that continue in the modern day.

The arrival of colonists from other worlds would further complicate matters, as the settling [[starwars:Human|Human]] and [[starwars:Non-human|alien]] populations came to need food for their expanding numbers; as fertile land was converted into farms, herds of these beasts would be captured in the wild and domesticated, while others would be taken from Harakoan tribes and vice-versa. These disputes continue in the modern day, though they have been largely reduced by the [[Treaty of Menat Ombo]], which has proportionally increased the amount of legal trade in their meat and leathers, as well as the animals themselves.

==Biology and Description==

Histya typically grow to be nearly two meters tall, and can grow to be six feet long and five feet long through the shoulders. Their gray skin grows a thin coating of brown fur, while their adults sport two-pronged, blunt horns from their heads; these are not typically used for more than the odd charge, and are instead digging and scraping tools for the animals to obtain nutrition from the ground or from trees. They have broad shoulders and hips, squat, powerful legs that end in wide feet, and short tails mostly used to swat at insects and signal mates.

Wild populations of Histya tend to be more alert, though only large males defending their herds are ever truly aggressive, and tend to weigh around fifteen hundred pounds; these are much more mobile, and will typically roam across New Tython in herds that run at around forty miles per hour. By contrast, most domestic Histya weigh closer to two thousand pounds and are far more docile than their roaming kin. Pack animals tend to be more muscular and lean, while livestock tend more toward fat and overall size.

One notable exception to this species is the '''Banuu''', a subspecies found on Milil'ea that is typically smaller, weighing at most a thousand pounds and travelling in smaller, faster herds. These are almost exclusively hunted, and can be identified by their thicker, full-body fur, mottled dark brown and black in variations that range from favoring one or the other up to the entire animal being coated in one or the other. Banuu Histya have larger, wider horns, used more frequently as bashing defense against predators and hunters; these are prized as trophies and are often used to make clubs.

The other subspecies of Histya, which remains far closer to its ice age ancestors, is the Tuktuk; found in arctic climes on Milil'ea and southern Kamuekiko, these beasts travel in small herds that constantly migrate the tundra. Their horns are larger and sharper, and are typically used to dig through snow and penetrate ice in search of food or water. Coated in thick, shaggy white fur and weighing in at around two thousand to twenty-five hundred pounds, these large animals are almost always on the move and have become omnivorous scavengers as necessary to survive.

Though all three subspecies vary, they remain close enough in evolution to interbreed, and thoroughbred Histya are actually quite sought-after by [[Tythonian Colonial Alliance|Tythonians]]. While they are quite versatile, one biome they cannot survive in is the desert, with desert-dwelling tribes relying instead upon various reptilians and [[Korupaka]] to act as beasts of burden. Histya travelling in desert convoys do still see service due to their immense strength to bear loads, but must be given large quantities of water to survive such a trip and usually emerge emaciated and weak.

==Behavior==

===Domestic Behavior===

Domestic Histya are gentle, docile beasts, the product of rigorous breeding and training by Harakoans. The vast majority of males in a herd castrated to help keep testosterone levels down among them, while the animals are trained not to fear noise or fire and are led through gentle, peaceful lives of easy food and slow-paced wandering. This produces an animal that is easygoing and obedient, though it also makes wandering stragglers easy prey for wandering Fullasi and other predators.

===Wild and Feral Behavior===

Histya in the wild, as well as escaped or lost animals who go feral and integrate with wild packs, move about in patterns that follow the regrowth of grazing land and plant life. They are conscious of weather, though in prime migration season their herds can stretch across grasslands in Owyhyee and can be seen for miles. In Kamuekiko, they are much less widespread and far more careful, as the jungles possess far more predators than open grasslands.

Typically either eating grass or shrubs, Histya will also scrape bark, fungus, and even insect life from trees to supplement their diet; this is in contrast to domestic animals who typically eat a diet of grain. Roaming beasts, they live in a constant cycle of eating, roaming, and mating, interrupted only by predators, hunters, and the change of seasons.

===Mating and Social Behavior===

As herd animals, male Histya in the wild will often clash in duels during the mating season, as each seeks to mate with as many females as possible. Not all of these matings will result in calves, for females will naturally abort embryos in times of famine or drought, though the ones that do typically survive to adulthood.

Young Histya incorporate with the herd immediately, as they can shakily walk from birth and rapidly grow strong enough to follow. Predators cull off sick and lost young, as well as elderly beasts who wander off at the end of their lives, keeping herds strong. They are social animals and are constantly in contact with one another, forming bonds and sharing food as they rely upon survival by strength in numbers.

By contrast, a typical domestic herd numbers anywhere from six to fifty animals depending on the size of the tribe or farm maintaining it, and will see only a handful of healthy, desirable males able to breed. These will mate with near every female, producing calves that are either undesirable and culled from the herd or desirable and fed well. Naturally this process can lead to problems with inbreeding, though tribes try to trade stock in order to prevent it.

Of particular note are colonist breeding practices, which use interbred subspecies and even gene therapy to produce superior herd and pack animals; these thoroughbreds, typically referred to as '''Herdbeasts''', tend to be larger and stronger than their wild kin and can be quite dangerous if they escape and become feral; thoroughbred males are known to dominate mating in wild herds, thus producing large, voracious, and sometimes more aggressive offspring that can deplete natural food sources and threaten existing populations.

==Tribal Politics and Warfare==

Histya are kept by many tribes as livestock, and are often traded for their meat and leather, the latter of which is the most common material for Harakoan armor on the planet. That said, these herds present opportunity for war as often as trade, and thieves making off with herds is not uncommon, especially in times of famine. Thus these animals are a central part of Harakoan life.

Interestingly, some tribes deify the beasts as saviors from their gods, viewing fat Histya as omens of divine favor; others, such as the Gioki, offer them up as sacrifices to gods like the Great Father of the Blue Mountains. Colonists and [[Odan-Urr|Jedi]] have been able to exploit these beliefs before, and have used the significance of Histya to both negotiate peace and to swindle unsuspecting tribesmen. As trade has expanded, however, these practices seem to be dying out.

Scarlet is a Krath Inquisitor for Clan Naga Sadow. She has served, and is still serving, them for a short period of time, during which she has faced many trials, overcoming them all, many of which changed her life. During the later periods of her training, as a Jedi Hunter, she became the Battle Team Sergeant for Sapphire Squadron.

== Character History ==

=== Early Life ===
During her early days as a Force sensitive, Scarlet was taken to the Jedi, learning the basics of the Force. However, her feelings betrayed her and the Jedi exiled her. She was found by a Zelosian who took her to the [[Dark Jedi Brotherhood|Brotherhood]]. Here she trained further, honing her skills and perfecting herself as a [[Krath]]. Eventually she was taken as an apprentice, where she was taught about leadership. It was as Sergeant of [[Sapphire Squadron]] that she flourished.

=== Joining The Brotherhood ===

Upon joining The Dark Brotherhood, many new things and challenges lay ahead.

When she initially joined the [[Dark Jedi Brotherhood]], Scarlet had issues relating to the people around her. Her initial light side training put her at odds with many, including her first Master, [[Galleros_Sjl|Galleros Sjl]]. As time passed however, the somewhat skittish journeyman that came to the Brotherhood, quickly evolved into a true Sith. As her proficiency in the Force and with the blade increased, so did her friends. Eventually she was surrounded by friends and, despite her dark heritage, she felt at home.

=== Continuing The Journey ===

The more the young Bpfasshi learned, the easier everything came to her. Eventually she made her first kill, reveling in the bloodshed. When she later looked back she would say that that was the point where she truly felt like a Dark Jedi, and where her blood lust began.

She was noticed by [[Robert Sadow]], who took her into the newly reformed [[Sapphire Squadron]], eventually rising up to it’s position of Sergeant. Here she aided the Sith Warlord known as Bob, learning from him as well as from her own Master, [[Armad]], what it is to lead.

Soon her training will come to an end, and she will join the ranks of the Dark Jedi Knights.

== Appearance ==
Scarlet is rather short at 5'5", has long flowing black hair and dark piercing eyes. A very slender body and pale skin accentuate the tattoos that adorn her face and body. She carries herself with the attitude of a true Sith: nothing gets in her way.
Most of the times she wears a smirk on her face, smiling at her good fortune.

{{Quote|Amat Victoria Curam. | Xirini Kurai}}

Xirini is a [[Guardian]] Peacekeeper within [[House Satele Shan]] of [[Clan Odan-Urr]].

== History ==
===Early life===
====Childhood: The Early Years 18 ABY - 24 ABY ====
During the early years of life, Xirini’s world consisted of the two caregiver giants she knew as her parents and her twin sister, the other half of her personality. Xirini was always a happy child, but rarely smiled. For years, life consisted of simply being taken care of while playing with her sister. The bond between Xirini and her sister continued to deepen.

After a few years, Nocarr began taking Xirini out into a nearby field and taught her to fight with small-bladed and long-bladed weapons. Having her use two short pieces of wood, the man led his eldest daughter through the movements of several forms. Xirini grew extremely proficient in the forms based on her father’s teachings and before long was even able to outpace the man, which earned her much praise from her father.

====Childhood: Enclosed Happiness 24 ABY - 29 ABY ====
For years, the small Nol family dwelt in something resembling peace. The occasional spat with a neighbor would occur or a small bandit group would threaten the nearby village. These incidental things were usually brushed aside as minor inconveniences.

The years dragged on and Xirini became more than proficient with her weapons. Mastering form after form, the girl’s curiosity seemed inexhaustible. Her curiosity finally led her to the inevitable conclusion of her family. She began her training as an assassin like both of her parents had done. The younger twin had a temperament that ill-suited the mindset of an assassin and was then assigned to attend her older sister in the capacity of a servant.

Neither sister complained of the situation. They embraced it with full enthusiasm as it meant they would never be very far from each other unless the older sister was receiving instruction from her masters. As the years progressed, Xirini began to master the forms and skills needed for her assignments in the future.

===Dark Brotherhood History===
====Childhood: Raw Power and The End of Innocence 29 ABY ====
Shortly after the girls had turned eleven, members from one of the feral tribes came to call late one night. These marauders knew of the girls and their sensitivity to the Force; misplaced fear and hope for profit led the men that night to kill an unsuspecting Nocarr and Suyarlar.

Having heard noises down the hall in their otherwise quiet home, Xirini and her sister rose from their beds to see what the problem was. As the girls moved through the house on silent footsteps, the young Assassin lifted a pair of daggers from one of the tables in the hallway that stored the family’s heirlooms.

Armed with her ancestor’s weapons and her sister’s courage, Xirini continued through the house looking for the ones responsible. Upon finding their parents’ bodies, she froze while Din screamed. Within moments, the marauders had found the girls and laughed as they saw one of them holding two ancient daggers. The bandits raped both girls and left them for dead, but chance would have it another way for the older sister. Din died that night, but Xirini was located by a passing doctor who saw the flames of the surrounding fields. He took collected the still living girl and brought her to the Facility.

====Childhood: The Facility 29 ABY - 31ABY====
To be added.

Arriving at Lyspair filled the young Xirini with unease which in turn fueled her temper even more. By the end of the first week, few wanted anything to do with the abrasive, violent young [[Krath]]. The young assassin was trained to observe, listen and react accordingly to her situation. She knew that the only way she would be reunited with her sister would be to complete her training here. She continually told herself that it was no different from being in classes at home with her sister waiting within her quarters for her return.

====Adolescence: Learning Curve 31 ABY - 33 ABY====
The agility of Xirini’s mind, coupled with her intelligence gave her ample footing to vault herself through the ranks with ease. The girl learned quickly from each teacher she was assigned the same as she had on [[starwars:Cathar_(planet)|Cathar]] learning from the masters within her extended family. With these things in mind, she rose swiftly and became further able to protect her sister.

Upon reaching [[Dark Jedi Knight]], she designed her first lightsaber and was given the robes fitting of her station. Unsatisfied with her rank, she continued to complete task after task before her and was rewarded for it.

With wars and vendettas behind her, the young adolescent was promoted to Prelate of the Obelisk order shortly before she vanished along with her sister. Months later, reports were filed by the Kuroshin recruiters that one of the Dark Jedi had landed near the fringes of the Outlands.

====Adolescence: Return of the Family Head 33 ABY - 35 ABY====
Xirini returned to her family’s lands after her elevation to Prelate to find that her family as not killed off entirely. Several of their distant relatives had survived, but only she remained of the pure Kurai line. As a trained assassin and as a Dark Jedi, she was asked to become the head of her family.

After several years of reinstating her family’s methods of training, Xirini appointed masters to teach the children and adults to take them on missions. The system appears to function thus far.

====Adulthood: Rise of the Kurai 36 ABY====
Xirini grew rapidly within her mind after months of grueling exercises with the intent of uncovering her forgotten past. The strain of rediscovery led her to rename herself completely, shucking herself from the animalistic trappings of her former life. Adopting the monicker of Xirini Kurai, she set forward to create a group of individuals who were capable of protecting dig sites where artifacts could be located. Her first course of action was to bring [[Maelous Ascarend]] into the group as the head of security.

'''Krataa''' is an Anzat [[Krath]] Dark Jedi from Clan [[Naga Sadow]]. Krataa’s troubled past haunts him to this day but upon entering the [[Dark Jedi Brotherhood]] his past is not much of a burden as it used to be. He is an apprentice to [[Meleu Karthdo]], and was knighted in late 38 ABY. Upon reaching Knighthood, Krataa was given the position of [[Docent]] within the [[Shadow Academy]].

== Character History ==
=== Early Life ===
[[File:Anzat.jpg|150px|left|thumb|[[starwars:Akku Seii|Akku Seii]] the Master Assassin who trained Krataa on Anzat. c. 27 BBY]]
Krataa has taken special care to erase most of his early history before arriving at the Dark Jedi Brotherhood. The only thing known about Krataa is that he was born on the home planet of the [[starwars:Anzati|Anzati]] in the year 42 BBY. It is also known and etched into [[starwars:Anzat|Anzat]] history that Krataa had been taught at an early age by the renowned assassin trainer; [[starwars:Akku Seii|Akku Seii]]. Krataa proved a considerably gifted and talented assassin. One of his missions revealed his Force affinity, Force choking his victim in frustration of not getting the required information. Other Anzati began to realize that Krataa was "special" and once word broke out that Krataa was gifted in the ways of the Force, he was forced to flee the planet, as he had become a target by many for 'soup'. Getting off the planet had proved tricky, and had it not been his assassins training, patience and ability to analyze situations, he never would have made it off the planet. Wandering the Galaxy he offered his services where needed.

=== The Calling of the Dark Side ===
Krataa roamed the Galaxy for years after his escape from [[starwars:Anzat|Anzat]] in 2 ABY. At the mere age of 44 he was considered a young adult, and still had much growth potential. Realizing he had a distinct advantage over others in his profession as a Force user, Krataa decided to become a bounty hunter. Things went well for him, and he was able to survive comfortably throughout the years. In 8 ABY he was paired with a female human Bounty hunter, who’s name can’t be found in any history document, on a mission to the stripped planet called [[starwars:Ruul|Ruul]]. The planet had been strip-mined by a score of human slaves transported by the former Galactic Empire. Upon arrival of the planet, the scars it bared caused much grief with Krataa’s companion, and he opened up to her, comforting her and during their time on Ruul they formed a strong connection and bond, albeit her not knowing he was an Anzat, thinking that he too was a human.

They were sent to the [[starwars:Tarkin Detention Facility|Tarkin Detention Facility]] to extract a highly important prisoner. Their reconnaissance work taking most of the time, as the facility was still heavily guarded. Getting inside and back out with the prisoner proved easy work and the duo had escaped the planet before any alarms were raised. During the trip back to the pre-planned gathering point to drop off the prisoner and gather their credits, the prisoner revealed to be an old Galactic Empire serviceman who had been in control of transporting the hundreds of thousands of slaves to Ruul. He had been so efficient that his services were needed for another sort of expedition by the contract givers who had hired the duo to bust him out. This had enraged Krataa’s companion, yet held herself firm. Krataa sensed her anger and this in turn angered him, seeing his partner and lover hurting, yet unable to do anything about it. Krataa took matters into his own hands, and flew into a fit of rage, beating the former prisoner to a gibbering mess, before bringing his screaming body to the airlock and ejecting him into space. The female bounty hunter was shocked at first, but thought quickly and punched in new coordinates to escape the wrath of their employers. Together they fled into the Galaxy, Krataa once again becoming a refugee.

During the next 20 years the duo traveled far and wide, eventually forgetting their past transgressions and living a comfortable and loving life on the planet [[starwars:Coruscant|Coruscant]]. Krataa worked his way into politics, discreetly having “convinced” certain figures to allow him into the political world through keen use of his mind control abilities, and use of the Force. It was in the year of 29 BBY that the past finally caught up with the Anzat, and ensured his life would never be the same.

Coming home from work one day, he sensed something wrong right away upon closing the front door to his house. As he walked into the living room, he saw something he would never forget. Their old contractor, stood holding a gun to his human lover’s head. Immediately he fell into a trance-like state, and as he walked towards his old boss, he Force pulled the gun towards him, as it raced towards him through the air, Krataa let out a rage induced yell, and as soon as the gun was in his hands fired the clip empty into his former contractors body. Ensuring not to strike any vital organs to keep his victim alive, the assassin bent down, and revealed to him and his partner, that he was not a Human, but an Anzat. His old boss died with the most horrified look on his face, much to Krataa’s glee. However, his partner gave a bloodcurdling scream, and had the empty gun pointed at Krataa. Rising slowly, knowing the gun was empty, but still hurt at the notion she would point a gun at him, Krataa tried to reason with her. Suffice to say things did not go well, and she left him.

Krataa was alone once again, deeply scarred and emotionally unstable. He had fed for the first time on someone, and the urge was irresistible in his current state. Coruscant was trifled with multiple murders and even high placed politicians, and it did not take long for them to trap Krataa. Barely escaping with his life, he was able to steal a ship and roam the Galaxy once again. The young Anzat vowed to find his place in the Galaxy and retrieve what he had lost. A faint tugging feeling was ever present in Krataa that eventually brought him to the Dark Jedi Brotherhood, arriving at their doorstep in 38 ABY.

=== Life in the Brotherhood- The Beginning ===
The Anzat assassin was recognized as a Force user instantly, and underwent tests to see if he was worthy enough of the Brotherhoods time. Krataa succeeded without incident, and was assigned a Master who went under the name of [[Meleu Karthdo]]. Meleu tutored and trained Krataa relentlessly in the forms of lightsaber combat and hand-to-hand combat. Not being much of a fighter and rather striking only when necessary, it was a hard period for the assassin to master these skills. In his spare time Krataa could be regularly found in the Shadow Academy libraries. Here he felt at home, allowing himself to escape his past life in the books of power and knowledge. [[Lyspair]] had become his new refuge and the books his path to power. As a [[Krath]], Krataa coveted knowledge above physical power. During many of his study sessions he has encountered members of the Obelisk Order who were only there to pick fights and laugh at the [[Shadow Academy]] followers. This caused a deep and unfettered hatred for the [[Obelisk Order]], and to this day the Anzat has no tolerance for anyone of this specific Order.

Krataa hated reporting to Meleu whenever they needed to train, and had a hefty discussion about the [[starwars:Rule of Two|Rule of Two]] one time during a sparring session. The outcome of the discussion disgruntled the Krath, and he slowly began to drift away from his Master, only answering to Meleu’s com-link requests when absolutely needed, and otherwise ignoring his Master’s calls.

The assassin had only been in the DJB for a few months, before an internal conflict had erupted in his clan. The [[Arcona Civil War]] saw Meleu and Krataa pitted against each other, and whilst the Anzat fought for what he believed in, [[Meleu]] bested the Krath with ease. This did not help their relationship at all, and Krataa was forced to avoid Lyspair for a long time as this was where Meleu was stationed as Magistrate to the Headmaster. Krataa dropped off the grid for a few months, no one knowing where he was, until he showed himself again in Lyspair where it had been obvious that he had never left Lyspair, but had laid low and hidden himself in the shadows of the Academy. Finally revealing himself again at the end of 38 ABY, Meleu and Krataa had put aside their differences and Meleu trained the Anzat to Knighthood within weeks of his return in the final month of 38 ABY.

===History in Clan Arcona===
Krataa was assigned to clan [[Arcona]], and quickly became a fiercely loyal member. Wanting to commit himself more to the clan, the Krath joined the [[Nighthawk]] Battle Team. Here he was assigned as junior analyst alongside Chief Analyst [[Celahir Erinos]]. Krataa had spent some time with the Nighthawk crew, but once the [[Arcona Civil War]] broke out the Anzat assassin was the only one to support the Questors, and had to flee the ship. After the duel with [[Meleu Karthdo]], which he lost in spectacular fashion and barely escaping with his life, Krataa went into hiding on [[Lyspair]] under the nose of his Master, who thought his apprentice was gone forever. Once the Civil War had finished and things had smoothed over Krataa reappeared. Master and Apprentice set their differences aside for the time being and continued Krataa's training.

Krataa had heard the Nighthawk was in need of a new Chief Analyst aboard the Nighthawk, and reached out to its commanding officer [[Arcia Cortel]]. Past transgressions had been forgiven and he was welcomed aboard the Nighthawk once again as their new Chief Analyst. He felt comfortable with his new position, and had more time to brood on his past and how far he had come. The feeling strong that one day soon he would be strong enough to search for his long lost mate, and convince her that she was wrong all those years ago.

==A New Beginning==
During his time in Arcona, the Anzat felt limited, wanting to climb higher up the ladder in order to be able to access more information towards his goal of finding his lover. Having exhausted all the resources he had in Arcona, Krataa felt it was time to look elsewhere and achieve his goal through other means. His eyes fell on Clan [[Naga Sadow]], even though they had had a tough war and not gained much prestige, the recent shift in leadership and permanent clanning of the Brotherhood seemed like a respectable choice. With many leadership positions open, Krataa felt this was his chance, and made his move.

Whilst aboard the [[Nighthawk]] the Anzat staged an execution of himself in order to join Clan Naga Sadow unnoticed. Here is an excerpt of his staged execution: "Krataa looked behind him one last time, feeling a slight bit of remorse for the crew he was to leave behind. Sighing heavily, the assassin steps forward. Flashbacks from his time on the Nighthawk come back to him. Smiling at the things he went through, the young Krath ran his hand alongside the side of the ship one last time. Turning around, standing sharp and at attention, the Anzat performed his final salute. With a nod towards the Captain, the airlock was opened and Krataa was sucked out of the ship he had come to love."

After he was sucked out of the airlock, the Nighthawk powered up and left him behind. Using the power of the Force, the young Krath was able to envelop himself in a bubble of the Dark Side, which allowed him to survive for a few minutes until his shuttle arrived and brought him back inside. Feeling weak and tired, the Anzat fell into a slumber and remained asleep for the entire duration of the trip until he had arrived at the doorsteps of [[Naga Sadow]]. He had to pay a heft sum to the pilot, but was grateful his gamble had paid off. With a fresh view on the future, Krataa felt confident he would find what he was looking for within the walls of his new home.

==Relationships==
Krataa is slowly making friends amongst the Brotherhood. Upon reaching Knighthood in [[38 ABY]] the young Krath looked towards his future and realized he would need close ties with certain influential people in order to make it to the top.

===Meleu Karthdo===
[[Meleu Karthdo]] is a powerful [[Sith Warrior]] who was Krataa's first and only Master in [[38 ABY]]. Meleu was tasked with training the young [[Krath]] and although the Anzat was eager at first to learn from the Warrior, a dispute during a training duel about the Rule of Two troubled Krataa and caused him to distrust his Master. Their relationship went further downhill, as the assassin avoided his Master as much as possible, prefering the libraries of the Shadow Academy on [[Lyspair]] over the mentoring of Meleu. During the [[Arcona Civil War|Civil War]] their relationship hit rock bottom. Krataa supported the Questors, whilst Meleu was supporting the Arconans. They crossed paths and a battle ensued, which Meleu won with ease. However, their relationship rekindled upon forgiving each other, with Meleu finishing his training of the Krath. In late [[38 ABY]] Krataa was Knighted, and the two have been seen together on many occasions talking and discussing important topics.

Meleu is Krataa's source of knowledge and respects him immensely despite their past differences.

===Arcia Cortel===
[[Arcia Cortel]] is the captain of the [[Nighthawk]]. Although an [[Obelisk]] Krataa has an immense amount of respect for his captain. Seeing that she allowed him to come back aboard the Nighthawk after his treason during the [[Arcona Civil War|Civil War]] and giving him the position of Chief Analyst. Whilst not technically friends, which they never can become due to the Krath's hatred for the Obelisk, the Anzat has enough sense to not insult this particular Obelisk in any way. In the Krath's book, this at least makes them non enemies.

===LandonCruise===
A member who joined around the time Krataa was active in the Shadow Academy, [[Landon Cruise]] and Krataa have been seen together on many occasions as friends. Sparing together and talking about whatever has sparked their interest, the young Krath see's the Sith as a close ally. The Sith has always been friendly towards Krataa, and with this being rare in the Brotherhood, the Krath has grown fond of LandonCruise. Occasionaly they will go out on piloting missions together, which terrify the Anzat immensely.

==Appearance==
[[File:Darkblades Combat Robes.jpg|thumb|right|Krataa's combat robes|120px]]
Krataa is relatively normal for his species. Being of average height, his build is somewhat less imposing than that of his brethren. He isn't as well muscled or strong compared to other Anzati, and has had to get through life with his sharp wits and handsome looks. With radiant brown eyes and a smile that some say is blinding, females of most species tend to like to talk and mingle with the young Anzat. Having strong muscled legs due to his years of training in running and athletics, Krataa's body seems somewhat out of proportion compared to his upper body which isn't very muscled at all. The Anzat is a little self conscious about this and makes sure he wears robes at all times to hide this from his friends and enemies. Only a few have seen Krataa in the buff, and during these moments the young Anzat has shown no signs of being uncomfortable with his body.

He tends to keep his tentacles hidden, as he prefers to be able to talk to others without them staring or becoming distracted by his tentacles. Eye contact is important for the Krath, and is the last person to break eye contact in any situation.

Krataa's combat robes allow him to move freely during combat, where he usually discards his cloak. During stealth missions and other missions the Krath favours these robes as they allow him to bring along medicine's or poisons in the belt pouch, whilst also giving him the ability to hide his face or blend into a crowd.

==Weapons and Armaments ==
[[File:Darkblades first Lightsaber.jpg|thumb|left|Krataa's first constructed saber|80px]]

Krataa constructed his first lightsaber upon reaching Knighthood in late [[38 ABY]]. The Krath is pleased with his first attempt, and has given it a name. What name it has been given, is unknown as he has not yet spoken it aloud or in the presence of others. Some people whisper that it is a tribute to his lost partner. Others speculate if it has been named in retrospect to his deep hatred of the [[Obelisk Order]].

The blade is a hue of purple, signifying his allegiance to the [[Krath Order]]. The hilt is made of [[starwars:durasteel|durasteel]] polished to give it a more shiny effect. The grip was carved out and replaced with [[starwars:phrik|phrik]], mimicking the same materials of his Masters lightsaber. The grip was then dyed purple, which comforts the young Krath as it signifies to him how close he is to his Order, always at hand and guiding him in battle.

== Trivia ==
Krataa was the second Arconan to have achieved the [[Dark_Side_Degrees#Dark_Maven|Dark Maven: Web Scripting]]
Krataa was formerly known as Darkblade, but changed names after realizing that being dubbed Darth Darkblade didn't seem as cool as it should.

{{Quote|Well, my time of not taking you seriously is certainly coming to a middle.|Terran Koul}}

Terran Koul was a [[starwars:Kiffar|Kiffar]] [[starwars:Bounty Hunter|Bounty Hunter]] and [[starwars:Gray Jedi|Gray Jedi]]. Orphaned at a young age, he was raised amongst the [[starwars:Jensaarai|Jensaarai]]. Though diligent in his studies, he had a pattern of disregarding authority that landed him in successive altercations throughout his youth. He earned the rank of [[starwars:Jensaarai#Ranks|Defender]] but, due to his volatile nature, was expelled from the order shortly thereafter.

After leaving the Jensaarai, he travelled to his homeworld of [[starwars:Kiffar|Kiffar]]. Though he made the journey to learn about his heritage and seek out family, he soon found himself embroiled in the planet's seedy underbelly. What started as a few favors for low-level information-brokers soon turned into common grifting. This led to petty theft, which in turn led to asset-recovery for the more affluent members of the criminal underworld. From there, it was a short step to Bounty Hunting. While he eventually made a name for himself amongst the Bounty Hunters of the galaxy, he chose, surprisingly, to give up the hunt to join [[Arcona]]. Though his reasons for doing so were unclear, his talents quickly proved useful to the Clan's summit. Despite that utility, there are more than a few rumors as to his true intentions in joining the Brotherhood.

== Biography ==
==== Parentage and Birth ====
15 ABY - 19 ABY
[[File:HoodedMan.jpg|thumb|175px|left|"There was little about him that could not be summed up as ''nondescript''. Except for you."]]
{{QuoteWithoutSpace|Though you'll never hear me say it: I love you.|Elaina, to her infant son, shortly before being abducted.}}Little was known of Terran's birth and parentage, even to himself. His mother was abducted when he was a toddler, though even that was unknown at the time. While his father's whereabouts could not be ascertained, it is assumed that he cared for the child for a year or more before disappearing himself. Koul's exact age is unknown, but the records of the Saarai-kaar indicated that he was nearly five when a dark-eyed, hooded man appeared at the gates of the Jensaarai [[starwars:Leonia Tavira's palace|compound]], asking that they take the boy in. Cowl pulled low against the torrential rain so common in [[starwars:Yumfla|Yumfla's]] summers, even the holorecordings from the enclave's security cameras could do little to identify him. Terran's first four months amongst the ''Hidden Followers'' were spent nearly catatonic, and when he finally recovered from whatever had befallen him, he had no recollection of the ordeal. Even his name was the fabrication of a [[starwars:Saarai-kaar|Saarai-kaar]] overly-fond of puns.
{{Clear}}

==== Amongst the Jensaraai ====
19 ABY - 31 ABY
[[File:OakLeafOnPond.jpg|thumb|200px|right|"No, it wasn't your imagination. Would you like me to show you how?"]]
{{QuoteWithoutSpace|"We hid from the Jedi and mourned and buried our dead. We had been sealed together, bound together by the deaths. We made a new memory from the tragedy."|The Saarai-kaar|url=http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/I,_Jedi}}
===== A Leaf Spirals Down =====
Koul's earliest memory was of a small, brick-encircled pond in the Jensaarai compound on [[starwars:Susevfi|Susevfi]]. As he sat beside the pool, a single leaf fell from the oak that had taken root at the pond's center. He reached for it, as if to catch it, but it was too far from him. For just a moment it hung, suspended but unsupported. Then it hit the water, sending ripples across the clear surface. Footsteps approached from behind him and he nearly sunk back into his mute reverie. Then the Saarai-kaar spoke and her words - and voice - defied his stupor. She offered to teach him. And to his own surprise, he agreed.

Over the next few years, Terran learned the basics of the Force from his new Jensaarai family. More than that, though, he learned the basics of being human. While he still had no memory of his parents, nor of what had occurred prior to that day beside the pond, he began to heal. Through incessant badgering and sheer tenacity, his Jensaarai brethren drew him out of his shell. Now and then he even cracked a smile.

[[File:Younglings.jpg|thumb|200px|left|Though studious, Jensaarai apprentices were little different from other children their age.]]Like the Jedi they had once feared, the Jensaarai often took on apprentices at a young age. The apprentices were raised in a nurturing, if demanding, environment, and Terran quickly found himself welcome amongst them. In addition to the normal lessons in biology, physics, rhetoric and civics, the young apprentices spent several hours a day studying the Force. More often than not, these sessions were consumed by meditations on the connections between the life around them, or on the nature of the Force itself. For Terran, this was very nearly torture. Every so often, though, they would actually work on something useful. The lessons on tapping into the Force directly, on telekinesis and sensing the world around them, were what really mattered to the young Kiffar. Those he took to heart.

===== Wind-Grasped, It Is Held Aloft =====
While the soft-spoken Saarai-kaar was as good as her word, and Terran did eventually learn to lift objects and keep them aloft, that was only the beginning of his tutelage. Despite their initial break from the Jedi Order, the Jensaarai kept a strict adherence to the [[starwars:Jedi#The_Three_Pillars_of_the_Jedi|Three Pillars]]. The standard instruction for apprentices began with the Force and the Pillar of Knowledge. As boring as Terran found the more academic aspects of his training, he had little choice but to continue it. An orphan, and a ward of the Jensaarai, there was nowhere else for him to go. At times, when he grew too discouraged for his fellow apprentices to cheer him up, he would find himself at the same pond where he initially resolved to undergo training. On one such occasion, nearly four years after he first sat beside those waters, he found himself meditating in the lone oak's shade. Eventually, after several hours of quiet contemplation, the Saarai-kaar approached the young Kiffar. She was loathe to disturb his meditation - knowing full-well how little he enjoyed it - but she could feel the strength of the conflict within him. Hoping to help ease the tension, and perhaps to offer him some small solace, she had brought him a piece of jewelry. The Saarai-kaar explained that the piece was originally given to her care by the same man who had entrusted them with Terran's future. She had intended to wait until he was older, cautious of what feelings and memories the keepsake might drag to the surface. However, sensing his turmoil, she had decided to risk it in the hope that it might help.

She held a small, turquoise [[starwars:Haali|Haali]] pendant, wings poised as if soaring aloft, threaded on a platinum chain. A link on the chain was torn jaggedly open, as if it had been ripped free in a struggle. Still only half-aware of the world around him, the young boy held out his hands and the Saarai-kaar handed him the necklace. Terran nodded his thanks and studied the momento, curious as to why the Saarai-kaar expected it to help. He was thankful for it, and for the link to his past, but he couldn't fathom why she expected it to do anything but further inflame his conflicting emotions. Like all orphans, the boy had often fantasized about setting off on a grand adventure to seek out his lost parents. Though he knew it was just that - a fantasy - the necklace nonetheless strengthened the desire. And it would no doubt make it even harder to stomach the slow, patient path to Defender that lay before him.

[[File:HaaliPendant.png|thumb|150px|right|Elaina's Haali Pendant]]Sitting beneath the lone oak, fingers curled around the pendant, Terran had his first psychometric vision. He saw his mother's abduction from her eyes. He saw himself, still a toddler, ripped from her arms. The boy that was himself grasped instinctively, hand scrabbling for purchase as he was pulled from her and finding only the Haali stone's chain. Then it tore, falling to the floor and skittering into the shadows as a pair of burly, resolute men pulled her through the doorway and into darkness.

The vision left Terran in shock, and it was many hours before he made his way back into the compound proper to seek out the Saarai-kaar's counsel. They spoke through the night and the Saarai-kaar, gifted in psychometry herself, offered to teach him to hone his gifts if he agreed to see his training through to completion. The possibility of harnessing his gifts to track down his parents finally quieted the storm that had been brewing in him for years. For the first time in as long as he could remember, he felt sanguine. He left the meeting determined to redouble his efforts.

Though he had found a renewed sense of purpose in his training, Terran was still a child with a great many emotional scars. The Jensaarai taught caution and thoughtfulness, but there was ever an edge to the young Kiffar's words and deeds.

===== But All Leaves Must Fall =====
[[File:OakOverRiver.jpg|thumb|250px|left|It's all fun and games until somebody drowns.]]Jensaarai apprentices were occasionally granted free days, and it was Terran's wont on such days to explore the warrens of Yumfla or the miles of forest that lay beyond the compound. On one occasion, he found himself strolling along the river that ran past the city. A group of children were gathered under a massive oak that stretched over the river's banks, taking turns diving from one of its thicker branches. He admired their energy and envied their unfettered playfulness. Then a cry rang out from the group. One of their number had taken a bad dive. He had surfaced, but he wasn't moving on his own and the river's swift current had begun to pull him down stream. It was clear the children were agitated, but they were either too shocked or too afraid to act.

Terran dove in without hesitation, letting the river pull him along and kicking his feet wildly to catch up to the unconscious child. After several minutes of half-drowned terror, he finally caught up to the injured boy and wrapped his arms around him. It was only then that the would-be rescuer realized he had no idea what he was doing. Though he liked to watch the river and listen to the sound of it rushing along its banks, he had never once swam in it. Moreover, the Jensaarai compound, while spacious, held little in the way of recreational accommodations. There was the small, knee-deep pond, but nothing resembling a pool. In all his years, the Kiffar had never learned to swim. Using the Force to strengthen his limbs and extend his endurance, he did eventually make it to shore with the young boy in tow. Waterlogged and exhausted, he pulled the child a few feet from the bank and tried to wake him up. When that failed, he tried to probe him through the Force. It was then that he realized how futile his efforts had been. The boy was already dead. Struggling to ignore the weight of defeat that threatened to crush him, Terran lifted the boy across his shoulders and trudged back along the bank of the river to where the children were, determined to at least find the dead child's parents.

It was late into the night before he finally returned to the Jensaarai compound. His instructors, when they learned of the day's events, commiserated with his heartache. But they were quick to add that such eventualities were inevitable when a person acted without due consideration. If he had waited, they insisted, he might have been able to help one of the other children - one who knew better how to swim - overcome their shock and, in doing so, see the child rescued sooner; in time, perhaps, to save his life.

Though Terran was quick to learn to swim, no amount of time spent in the water could wash away the sound of his instructor's lecturing tones.

===== Winds Condemn The Leaf =====
In time the students began combat training. They engaged in standard practice against remotes, using lightsabers to defend themselves from stinging, underpowered blaster bolts and, in time, to redirect the fire back at their whirring, spinning assailants. As with most of their physical exercises, Terran did relatively well. While he was far from the most adept of the apprentices, his native agility and strong situational awareness led him through the majority of their training sessions relatively unscathed. What he truly enjoyed, though, was sparring. Whether due to the reactive thoughtlessness that the Jensaarai combat techniques cultivated or the sheer exhilaration of throwing each other around the lightly-padded floors of the arena, Terran seldom felt more free and at peace than in the midst of a fight. In some ways, it was an asset. His exuberance and natural acuity mixed well with his talent for improvisation, and he quickly came out at the top of his class. However, he tended to lose himself in the fights, often striking harder than intended, or failing to notice when his opponent forfeited. Though it was never malicious, a fact his instructors constantly reassured him they knew, it was nonetheless a recurring issue with the young Kiffar's training.

[[File:DuelistGreen.png|thumb|125px|right|Terran Koul's First Lightsaber]]Eventually the apprentices were tasked with building their lightsabers. Though not the same rite of passage as it was among the Jedi, the Jensaarai still spent a great deal of time and effort in construction of their blades. The individual components were provided by the quartermasters of the Jensaarai. While some were purchased through trade or bartered for, many, particularly the crystals, were sought out by Jensaarai apprentices during their trial to become Defenders. Given the dangers that often proliferated around the rare crystals, no few Jensaarai had died trying to procure the necessary components. As such, constructing a lightsaber was always a solemn occasion amongst the Jensaarai, and one undertaken with the utmost care.

While the construction of a Jensaarai's lightsaber was far from the pivotal moment it was to the Jedi, it did mark a point in their training. Lightsabers were elegant, and they were an excellent defense against the unknown and often-dangerous galaxy beyond Susevfi, but they were also extremely dangerous. It indicated a level of trust in the pupils who were entrusted to carry such dangerous implements. It also opened the doorway to other, more brutal techniques. Unburdened by the strict mores of the Jedi, Jensaarai often made use of techniques from which more conservative Force-users shied away. While many Jensaarai apprentices practiced their command of Shock or their ability to Blind their fellow students - a common game among the trainees, Terran found an undeniable beauty in the art of [[starwars:ballistakinesis|''ballistakinesis'']].

Though telekinesis was a normal part of the Jensaarai curriculum, and all apprentices learned the basics of ''ballistakinesis'', few took the time to make a true study of it. It lacked the inherent allure that many of the darker Force abilities possessed. For Terran, though, there was a simple, brutal beauty in how forthright it was. More than that, it was '''fun'''. It challenged even his significant situational awareness and he found the effort immensely gratifying. The Saarai-kaar was an expert in the art and, between her tutelage in psychometry and his study in ''ballistakinesis'', the two spent a great deal of time together. She recognized how concerted an effort Terran put into his training. She saw, too, the shadow that lay across his heart. And she often wondered which would win out.

===== Just Float, Like Your Brethren Do =====
[[File:DarkAlley.jpg|thumb|250px|left|The others felt...''hungry''.]]The situation came to a head shortly after his fourteenth birthday. Though his exact age was unknown, the Saarai'kaar had taken to considering the first day by the pond, when he briefly held the leaf aloft, as his fifth birthday. As was custom amongst the Jensaarai, he spent the day in Yumfla. The Jensaarai, for all that they walked a path not entirely devoted to the Light Side, considered themselves champions of the downtrodden and protectors of the people around them. They would spend the day that marked their birth among those that they would one day be called upon to protect, mingling among them and seeing their troubles - and their victories - firsthand. On that day, as he so often did, Terran made a beeline for the warrens. It was a poor, dingier side of town, filled with houses in crude repair and replete with the occasional beggar. It was also a place that seemed vibrantly, undeniably alive to the young teenager. Unlike the more somber, reserved citizens that inhabited the wealthier districts of Yamfla, the denizens of the warrens were vocal, loud and, on occasion, downright rowdy. Vendors hawked wares from street corners and a dozen different styles of music blared from the houses and garages he passed. He could feel their emotions as he passed: joy at an unexpected windfall, worry over a late mortgage, anger at a shopkeeper who was too persistent for his own good. He lost himself in the eddies of emotion, the strength and variegation of them. It was beautiful and exhilarating. Then a shrill terror cut through them and chilled him to his soles.

Terran followed the feeling, using the Force to trace it through the crowded street. It led him down a cross street, then a smaller offshoot, and another. There were fewer people with every turn, and he found himself at the mouth of an alley. The street, rundown and covered in poorly-filled potholes, was deserted in either direction, but he could feel four people in the alley, and one of them was terrified. The others felt...''hungry''.

He reacted as he often did, without thinking, sending a hail of loose scrabble from the sidewalk at the three men who crouched towards the back of the alleyway. He wasn't sure who they were, but they were standing above the fourth, the woman whose terror had cut through his reverie. The whirlwind of gravel hit them, taking one of the men down immediately. Then he was on the remaining pair, lightsaber lit, cutting through them. It was over in moments, the three half-clad assailants dead, and he helped the woman to her feet. Though she was grateful, she was also shocked - as was he. He had seen death just once before, and he had never been its cause. As she stumbled off - towards a police station, he thought - Terran returned his saber to his belt and walked half-conscious back to the Jensaarai compound.

[[File:Seridan Miro.jpg|thumb|150px|right|"You could do worse," suggested the Saarai'kaar,"than to start with the Wookies."]]In the end, as was so often the case, it was worse than he hoped and better than he feared. His instructors were irate and unnerved by his actions. The Saarai-kaar, however, understood that he had acted from a desire to help. His actions, she said, were not wrong. Nor were they '''as right''' as they could have been. He was confined to the compound and he was instructed to contemplate the nature of force. Not the Force, but force. It was, according to the Saarai'kaar, the most important and difficult lesson for many Jensaarai. When was force required - and how much of it? How could one make the distinction? His training, she explained, would not resume until he could provide her with a satisfactory answer. She suggested he look at the traditions of other cultures to find an answer to her questions, starting with the [[starwars:Wookie|Wookiees]]. Eventually, he was very glad that she did.

===== But Some Leaves Are Torn =====
Amongst the Jensaarai, the creation of one's battle armor was the pivotal moment in their apprenticeship. Analogous to a Jedi creating his own lightsaber, it marked the passage from mere apprentice to one ready to be considered a full Jensaarai, and was the precursor to undertaking the Defender trials. Though not required, it was a common custom to style the armor on an animal or otherwise bestial creature that represented certain values to the Jensaarai. They were creatures that weren't overly aggressive, but were capable of fierce protectiveness when it was warranted. The more Terran learned of the Wookies, the more he felt he had found the perfect fit for his armor. The only problem now was earning back the privilege of constructing it.

[[File:JensaaraiArmor.jpg|thumb|200px|left|Traditional Jensaarai Armor, modeled after a [[starwars:reek|reek]]]]He spent several months studying the history of the species via the holonet, reading every scholarly article he could find on the ursine sentients that made [[starwars:Kashyyyk|Kashyyyk]]'s deadly wroshyr forests their home. Enslaved by the [[starwars:Czerka|Czerka]] corporation thousands of years before, they spent years trying to find a peaceful resolution to the situation before finally revolting. When they did revolt, however, it was to devastating effect, overthrowing in a matter of weeks what their corporate overlords had spent years building. After joining the Republic, they gained a reputation for possessing great wisdom and were renowned for their patience and fair-dealing with other cultures. During the Clone Wars, the Wookies initially tried to remain neutral, seeking peace between the factions of the fracturing Republic. When it became clear that no peace was to be had, they were ready to take up arms, fighting unflinchingly against the Separatists that threatened the safety and prosperity of the Republic's member-states. On a more personal level, Wookies held dear their families, both the families of blood and those of friendship - what they termed "[[starwars:Wookiee honor family|honor family]]". He became so enamored with the species that he even began studying [[starwars:Shyriiwook|the Wookie language]] in his spare time, a soothing practice he continued throughout his adolescence.

In the end, as was so often the case, the Saarai-kaar was right. Studying the Wookies - and when and how they resorted to force - illuminated what his heart alone could not. Violence was a last resort and, when unavoidable, should be utilized to whatever degree necessary - and not a joule more. It was one of the reasons the Jensaarai had spent so many decades remaining hidden after the fall of the Republic: to prevent the necessity of violence. He explained his reasoning to the Saarai-kaar and his other Jensaarai instructors and, in time, was allowed to continue his training. But though he understood, intellectually, that violence should be avoided, the same bloody edge still shadowed his heart.

A few Susevfi months before his fifteenth birthday, Terran began construction of his armor. With his instructors' blessings, he based it on the Wookies that he had come to emulate. As he sought to shape his soul in their image, so too should his armor reflect them. It was an arduous task, requiring a great deal of care and fine craftsmanship. As was Jensaarai custom, he spent much of the time fasting and meditating on the values he sought to express in his armor. On the eve of his fifteenth birthday it was completed, and the following day he was set upon his trials to become a Defender.

===== Still They Try to Soar =====
[[File:NarShaddaa.jpg|thumb|125px|left|Nar Shaddaa, the Vertical City]][[File:LightsaberCrystal.png|thumb|100px|right|A Durindfire Crystal]]As was common practice, his trials began with a journey offworld, ostensibly to collect materials necessary for the construction of future students' lightsabers and armor. These trips, while seemingly imperative to Jensaarai apprentices, were little more than a pretense. The true purpose of the journey was to acclimate the Jensaarai, who had spent so long sheltered among their own kind, to the vagaries of the galaxy beyond Susevfi. One of the Jensaarai Defenders had been a smuggler before joining the order, and an old acquaintance of his claimed to have uncovered a cache of Durindfire crystals that would be able to power several dozen lightsabers. Terran was tasked with meeting the Rodian broker on the world city of [[starwars:Nar Shaddaa|Nar Shaddaa]] and retrieving the shipment of crystals. While he had a handful of encounters with thieves and muggers, few were willing to engage in a prolonged tussle with a man wielding a lightsaber. Even fewer when that man demonstrated he could wield the Force. Still, mindful of the lesson he had so recently learned, he tried to walk softly, relying on stealth and blending in rather than displays of force or Force to remain unaccosted. The exchange itself went smoothly. The Rodian, Hynder, had the crystals as was promised, and Terran had been coached in haggling down the price to something more affordable - important despite the Jensaarai's extensive coffers.

Returning to the Jensaarai compound outside Yumfla, Terran remitted the crystals to the quartermasters' care and, after giving a full accounting of the mission, was welcomed home, one step closer to the mantle of Defender.

===== Flying High On Reckless Gusts =====
[[File:Saarai-kaar.jpg|thumb|200px|left|The Saarai-kaar on a rare patrol of Yumfla's streets.]]For several months after his trial, Terran's days and nights fell into a predictable pattern. There were no more classes on history or politics. Instead, he continued his own training and meditation during the morning. After a midday meal, the older apprentices who were on their way towards becoming Defenders would gather in a courtyard and discuss their differing viewpoints on the Force or morality, often seeking to sway or be swayed until a consensus was reached in one particular or another. Though Terran initially thought the exchanges would grow tiresome, he found that he was often an active participant in their debates. While the subjects might be boring in the abstract, when applied to real-world situations they were intriguing, and he was surprised at how passionate he grew. When evening came, the would-be Defenders took shifts patrolling the streets of Yumfla, offering a level of protection and security that no terrestrial law enforcement could provide. It was tiring, and it was often thankless. But to Terran, it felt '''right''' in a way he had never known.

The Jensaarai presence ensured that Yumfla had an unprecedentedly low rate of criminality, but nothing could completely rid a city of burglaries or crimes of passion. Terran thwarted a number of transgressions over the next half year, invariably in the Warrens. Though half a decade had passed, it was still his favorite part of the city, and when he set out on patrol, his feet invariably took him there. When dealing with lawbreakers, he was sure to err on the side of caution. Often, if no one had been hurt, he let the would-be criminals go with a stern warning and a promise. Repeat offenders were few, and always turned over to the local constables. Over time, people came to recognize the sight of his armor and, as word of his actions spread, smiles and waves and even kind words met his passing.

The elders among the Jensaarai were always watching and listening for reports on the apprentices' patrols. As word of his watches, and of his restraint, reached their ears, many that had once been his detractors, sure that his youthful indiscretions could not be mended, began to change their minds. After half a year he was summoned to their council. Though not all were convinced that he had conquered his often-troublesome temper, enough felt that he had done so. They conferred on him the rank of Defender. It was a moment of shining brilliance that lit his young life.

It was not to last.

===== But All Leaves Must Fall =====

Though he was officially a Defender, the Saarai-kaar had a final duty that she wished him to complete before she gave him her blessing. Terran learned, to his surprise, that one of the three thugs he believed that he had killed had, in fact, survived his assault. The man, a human named Kello Thrall, claimed to have been crippled that night. He had brought a suit against the Jensaarai, claiming he was owed for lost wages and suffering as a result of Terran's actions. Though Terran initially scoffed at the suggestion, explaining to the Saarai-kaar that the trio had been attempting to rape a woman at the time, the Saarai-kaar was adamant that some form of recompense must be made. She tasked Terran with tracking down Thrall and investigating his claim. She urged him to be humble, and to keep foremost in his mind that his actions - regardless of his intent - had been wrong. Though Terran believed the man ought to consider himself lucky, given that he survived despite his heinous crime, he saw that there was compassion and wisdom in the Saarai-kaar's words.

[[File:TrelliaThrall.jpg|thumb|200px|right|Trellia Thrall]]With a heavy heart he contacted an acquaintance of his amongst the local constables and inquired as to Thrall's address. He spent days meditating on the situation, hoping for clarity or, at least, to maintain a more detached perspective when confronting the thug. When he finally made the journey to the address, he found Kello Thrall's apartment in the worst part of the Warrens. It was midday, the sun beating down overhead, and he couldn't tell whether the sweat on his brow was from the heat or from his trepidation. A young boy, no more than ten, answered the door begrudgingly. He viewed the older, unarmored Kiffar with suspicion, and Terran tried to put him at ease as he asked to speak to the boy's father. The child scurried back into the house without a word, and was replaced in short order by an older, brunette woman. She invited him in and offered him a seat and a glass of something cool to drink before inquiring as to his business. Terran graciously accepted, postponing the awkward conversation to come. Eventually, though, she returned, and there was nothing left but to broach the subject.

He asked the woman, Trellia Thrall, if her husband was in. She nodded, commenting that he was napping in the other room, and her hand brushed her cheek, unconsciously drawing her hair away from a nasty bruise that discolored the side of her face. It was at that point that Kello chose to enter the room. The man was unkempt, overweight and reeking of stale whiskey, and Terran knew without a doubt that he was the source of the woman's injury. Suddenly his perspective shifted, and he saw the child's reticence in a new light. It wasn't rudeness. It was fear. Likewise, the woman's courtesy wasn't politeness, but obsequiousness. And this ''man'', this wife-beating, would-be rapist was the cause. He could taste the rage that welled up inside him, and struck the man down before he could open his mouth to speak. He struck him down before he could even consider the repercussions. Then, in a state of shock, he left.

It was late into the night before he returned to the Jensaarai compound, and he did so with a heavy heart. He requested an audience with the Saarai-kaar and recounted the day's events. She listened with compassion. But she listened, too, with dismay. In the end, there was only one recourse.

Exile.

For the second time in as many decades, he was without a family.

[[File:Kiffu.jpg|thumb|225px|left|The Planet Kiffu]]Though he was left without a home, he was not entirely without means. When he had been given to the Jensaarai to foster, a moderate sum of money had been given to them as well. While it was ostensibly for tending to the young child's needs, the Jensaarai - financed in part by the tax base of Yumfla's citizenry - had little need for the financial support. Instead, the sum had been invested. That amount, and the interest it had since accrued, was divested to Terran upon his excommunication. Using a portion of his newly-acquired funds, Terran was able to book passage to Kiffu on a cargo freighter.

While he had managed to gain a good deal of control over his psychometry, the emotional resonance of his mother's abduction meant that he had never been able to gain any additional visions from her pendant. He had, however, managed to glean greater detail from that one vision. Thanks to hand-written labels on several containers in the cargo hold, he had been able to ascertain the name of the ship on which his parents had been passengers - ''Tranquility''. He also had a solid sketch of his mother and of several of her abductors. Thus armed, he began his search.

Through charm and bribes he was able to gain access to a number of public shipping records that would otherwise have been sealed. At the same time, he placed ads on the holonet requesting information on anyone who matched the sketches he had made over the years. He even looked into DNA tests, but without a sample against which to test or any criteria that could narrow down the range of the search, there was little information to be had from genetic profiling.

[[File:Archives.jpg|thumb|225px|right|Terran spent countless hours in Kiffu's records center.]]Despite extensive auditing of public (and sealed) records, Terran was unable to find any reference to the ship in his visions. His ads on the holonet produced a few leads at first, but nothing that panned out. After a few months, those dried up, as did his fast-shrinking credit account. It eventually became clear to him that his search for his family's fate would not be a mystery quickly solved. Without any new leads, he found himself forced to seek employment for the first time in his life. Though he was well-educated, he lacked any official credentials. This made acquiring a traditional job extremely difficult - a fact for which he would later be grateful.

In the end he took a job with a private security firm, being hired out as a bodyguard or bouncer. Though he didn't advertise his Force-training, it was easy enough to prove his worth, and it was steady work. He settled into a routine, weeks and months flying by while he saved up the money to continue his search. He lived frugally, even poorly. That didn't bother him, though. His time amongst the Jensaarai had hardly been marked by an excess of material goods, and a sparse existence was the norm for the young Kiffar. No matter how tight things were, though, he made sure to always keep the holonet ads running. Eventually, he knew, someone would recognize them. He only hoped that, when they did, they would contact him.

==== Aim to Misbehave ====
33 ABY - 34 ABY
{{QuoteWithoutSpace|'Difficult' and 'impossible' are cousins often mistaken for one another, with very little in common.|Terran Koul, when told that tracking down his family would be an impossible task.}}

[[image:TerranKoulLine.jpg|200px|thumb|left|He'd take most any job, if there was a steady paycheck in it.]]After nearly a year of scraping by on as few expenses as possible, stockpiling what credits he could manage for when the time came to resume his search, Terran finally received a response to his HoloAd. The message was short, the sender furtive. It said only that his parents hadn't been simply passengers aboard the ''Tranquility''. Though he initially dismissed the message as nonsensical - after all, he had seen them aboard the ship in his vision - he soon realized that both the message and his vision could be true. If they had owned the ship in question, it would explain a great deal. Given the lack of official records and, in retrospect, the lack of any official seals on the cargo, the only logical explanation is that it was a smuggling vessel. If they had travelled under one (or more) pseudonyms, there wouldn't be any record of the ''Tranquility'' in Kiffu's public databases.

Over the year prior, Terran had served as bodyguard for a number of people - not all of them the most savory of characters. Though he initially resisted the urge to tangle himself within the Kiffu underworld, in time his need for answers won out. He began by contacting a handful of corrupt politicians, soliciting the names of people who might be willing to barter for the sort of information he needed to further his search. Most of the politicians were unwilling to speak to him, but one eventually agreed to give him the name of a reliable information broker - in exchange for a particular service to his campaign. Two days and three burglaries later, the politician had all the blackmail he needed to force his opponent to drop out of the running. And Terran had the name he sought.

Shera Karn, a Kiffar information broker in her mid-thirties, had spent over half her life in the seedy network of criminals that stretched across the [[starwars:Azurbani system|Azurbani system]]. Terran contacted her and, while she admitted to having no information on the ''Tranquility'' or his parents, she offered to put in inquiries with her contacts if Terran would a few favors for her. The young male tried to insist on paying for the information, but Karn made it clear that she had little interest in his credits. His services, on the other hand, would be far more useful. Finally, knowing enough of how the underworld worked to know that he would regret it, Terran agreed to work for her on a freelance basis.

His jobs started out relatively minor, mostly security-related. He would be charged with guarding a shipment of goods - with the understanding that probing into the nature of the merchandise would not be tolerated. On occasion, he might be hired to guard an individual, or to ensure that one of Karn's on-the-outs lackeys showed up when they were summoned. After a few months, aggravated at having no new leads, Terran confronted Shera. She explained that she had asked for any information on his parents or their ship, it was hard to justify the expenditure of greater resources given how little value he provided to her organization. After all, he was being paid well for his security duties. She indicated that, had he other skills to provide, she might be able to spend more money looking for the answers he sought.

He understood Karn's not-so-subtle hints and eventually graduated to what she termed ''asset recovery''. The jump from larceny to confidence trick was a short one, and the former-Jensaarai soon found himself embroiled in any number of illicit schemes. Though he refused to get mixed up in Karn's spice trade or protection racket, he came to enjoy the thrill of a well-orchestrated theft or scam coming off as planned. His training in the Force - both his effortless concealment and his ability to sense other people and read their intentions - gave him an unrivaled edge in the jobs he took from Karn, and his credit account ballooned.

While he enjoyed the work for it's own sake, he remained focused on the end game: tracking down whatever had happened to his family so many years before. After several months of work, Terran managed to save enough money for the genetic testing that had once seemed impossibly expensive. Though it yielded no specific results, it was able to provide some more generalized information as to his heritage. Based on a variety of genetic markers, there was a high probability that he was a member of the [[starwars:Clan Vos|Clan Vos]]. Paradoxically, the same testing indicated that both of his parents had mostly likely been raised on [[starwars:Kiffex|Kiffex]], Kiffu's prison colony sister-planet. While rearing on a prison colony world would explain how his parents became smugglers, it seems incompatible with the idea that they were related - even distantly - to Kiffu's ruling family or [[starwars:Kiffu Guardians|Guardians]]. It was a mystery that Terran wouldn't solve for a long, long time.

==== Hair-Brained Schemes Pay Off ====
34 ABY - 36 ABY
{{QuoteWithoutSpace|There’s no freedom quite like the freedom of being constantly underestimated.|Terran Koul to Isshwarr, on being asked how they could capture an Imperial Admiral.}}

[[image:Nar Shaddaa City View.jpg|200px|thumb|left|The Smuggler's Moon.]]Eventually, Terran's jobs began to take him outside the Azurbani system. With a growing confidence in both his skills and his loyalty, Shera Karn began to task Terran with ''asset recovery'' on worlds from the [[starwars:Inner Rim|Inner Rim]] to the [[starwars:Corporate Sector|Corporate Sector]].

On one such job to the world city of Nar Shaddaa, Terran once again encountered Hynder, the Rodian broker he had met several years before. The objective was the theft of a priceless piece of Verpine art from one of the many Hutt crime bosses who made their home on the Smuggler's Moon. The crystalline sculpture was well guarded, a fact that had seldom deterred Terran - in his experience, sentients were easy enough to bypass. What he hadn't counted on was the overly-elaborate electronic security that pervaded the Hutt's art gallery. While he had some rudimentary slicing skills, he often relied on his physical prowess or on software hacks purchased from contacts in order to bypass security systems. Unable to reach Karn - an expert in electronic intrusion - and lacking other options, Terran sought out Hynder.

Despite Terran's excommunication, the Roadian remembered him fondly and was amenable to a meeting. When Terran conveyed the situation, however, Hynder informed the Kiffar that he had little interest in security systems. He offered to introduce Terran to a few merchants that might be willing to sell the Kiffar the sort of software he needed to bypass the Hutt's security, or even to introduce him to a few local security experts that were available for hire. Terran took him up on the latter offer and, a few local hours after that, first met [[Isshwarr]] and [[Kolot]].

[[image:EwokAndWookieJedi.jpg|200px|thumb|right|Okay, they weren't Jedi. But imagine how awesome it would be if they were!]]The two were an odd pair to say the least. Isshwarr was a Wookie, skilled in combat and an electro-mechanical virtuoso. She was also a mother to an entire den of children and, in Kolot, seemed to have adopted one more. Kolot was an Ewok, a subject of genetic manipulation that had graced the furred mammalian with an intellect that surpassed human norm. It had also given him a vicious, sometimes-bloodthirsty temperament. He was an expert pilot and had a knack for planning. The two were partners in crime and well-known among Nar Shaddaa's smuggler community.

Terran hired the pair to assist him, despite it costing half of what he was due to make on the job. Though Kolot was reluctant to trust him, or anyone, Isshwarr was willing to take the risk - at least partially due to the novelty of meeting a human who was fluent in Shyriiwook. Isshwarr made short work of the gallery's electronic counter-measures and Kolot shuttled the trio - and their precious cargo - to safety despite being chased by enough [[starwars:Z-95 Headhunter|Headhunters]] to take down a small [[starwars:Star Destroyer|Star Destroyer]]. It was the first time Terran worked with the pair, but it wouldn't be the last.

[[image:Ewok_Forest_Scout.jpg|200px|thumb|left|They even pulled a job on Endor. Isshwarr didn't fit in as well as Kolot.]]The trio crossed paths several times over the next two years, on Nar Shaddaa, Correllia and Coruscant. Kolot warmed to Terran, coming to respect his fiery temper even as he remained disdainful of the Kiffar's meager piloting skills. As for Isshwarr, she seemed to treat both like children in need of a parent to watch over them. Eventually they decided to make their intermittent associations permanent. Though they settled on Nar Shaddaa, their home was aboard the [[starwars:YT-2400 light freight|''Indecorous Arrangement'']], wherever their cargo or recovery jobs took them.

Though the trio continued running confidence jobs and handling ''asset recovery'' for the highest bidder, including freelance work for Shera Karn, they branched off into Bounty Hunting as well. The work appealed to both Isshwarr's and Kolot's hunter natures, and it paid better, which was enough incentive for Terran; and if Kolot occasionally ruffled under the alive-only stipulation that the Wookie and Kiffar insisted on, he enjoyed the work enough to let it slide. As their metaphorical star rose, and the group began being offered more lucrative contracts, they were even able to upgrade their aging YT-2400 light freighter for a ''Horizon''-class Star Yacht - heavily modified, of course.

==== After Bigger Game ====
36 ABY - Present
{{QuoteWithoutSpace|You can't help being young, but it's past time that you stopped being stupid.|Isshwarr to Terran, on hearing his plan to join Arcona.}}

After nearly a year of successful Hunting, the trio seemed to disappear. They stopped replying to job offers, and even their known associates ceased to hear from them. Then, several months after his last Hunt, Terran showed up on Selen, requesting to join the Brotherhood. Though he declined to explain the impetus for his enlistment, his Jensaarai training and unique skillset quickly positioned him at the forefront of Arcona's Shadesworn. He even earned a pair of [[Fade Initiative|Fades]] - coincidentally, a Wookie and an Ewok.

Though several members of Arcona's upper Summit immediately questioned the Kiffar's motives, his service to the Clan was, at least at first, without fault.

== Physical Description ==
[[image:TerranKoulPistol.jpg|175px|thumb|right|Terran Koul]]Terran Koul was a tall, Kiffar male in his mid-twenties. He had a medium build and brown, tousled hair. Dark blue eyes and high cheekbones - sharp enough to cut stone - often caused him to stand out in a crowd, despite the goatee that softened his strong jawline. His pink lips looked more accustomed to frowning than otherwise, at odds with the glimmer in his eyes. With his coloring and bone structure, he could pass for a Hapan were it not for his litany of aftermarket imperfections. His aquiline nose had been broken repeatedly, and poorly reset on more than one occasion. Along with the scars on his face - a long, curved scar on his left cheek and a smaller, triangular one on his right - it was clear he had been in more than a few brawls in his life. Though he lacked the typical Kiffar tattoos, he had a series of blue glyphs the same shade as his eyes inked along his outer biceps.

Terran's clothing was often rough-spun and utilitarian, with only the barest of concessions to fashion. A plain white shirt, tight through the chest, suggested a muscle-tone born of hard labor or years swimming rather than a gym. He wore a single holster slung low on the waist of his tan pants and fastened across his right thigh, with a second at the small of his back. In addition to the pair of blasters, a spring-loaded sheath rode his right wrist, keeping his lightsaber in easy reach. His brown gloves appeared padded with armor or machinery of some sort. They were custom made for his hands and the patterning on their exterior almost seemed to suggest fur, despite their smooth surface. The gloves and sheath were the only remaining pieces of his Jensaarai armor that he wore regularly. Koul's reinforced black leather boots were cracked with age, but lovingly maintained with obvious care. Covering it all, he often wore a chestnut coat, loose in the sleeves and open to keep his movements free and easy. Numerous pockets in the cloak's interior held grenades, blades, candy, datapads, lock-pits, rocks, stuncuffs, and, on occasion, vegetables or yarn.

== Personality and Traits ==
[[image:TerranKoulCrest.png|100px|thumb|left]]Terran is a smart-ass, Wise-cracking, egotistical bounty hunter with a heart of tarnished...well, something. Definitely not gold. He's sarcastic, sardonic and not overly fond of the truth. He’s a bit of an anti-hero. He recently joined Arcona for reasons unknown (he was quite successful as a Bounty Hunter). He often comes up with crazy schemes that shouldn’t possibly work - but do. He has a tendency to pick up on very subtle details (due to his force abilities, his perception skill, and his psychometry). He is seldom malicious - but there’s not much room for mercy in his universe either.

</ul>

{{Clear}}
== Powers and Abilities ==
[[image:Ballistakinesis.jpg|250px|thumb|right|A Jedi Using Ballistakinesis]]
==== Ballistakinesis ====
Terran has extensive training in [[starwars:ballistakinesis|Ballistakinesis]], a telekinetic technique employed by the Jensaarai. As a result, Terran tends to use his telekinesis to attack with multiple smaller objects at lethal velocities rather than a few large objects at slower speeds. This scattergun-like technique is less accurate and more susceptible to collateral damage, but is also more difficult to evade - especially in enclosed areas.

==== Psychometry ====
[[starwars:Psychometry|Psychometry]], also known as Postcognition, or telemetry is a Force-powered mental technique of picking up impressions and traces of information about the object touched and the events that have surrounded it.

This power allows the user to view events as if they were there, including the sights, sounds, and feelings, both emotional and physical, that the wielder of the object experienced. This power is easier to use on personal objects that are used frequently. Objects that were used once or by several people often make the use of this power difficult, though it is still possible. This skill is useful for tracking though it is not useful in open battle and can fail to render useful information at times.

== Equipment ==
[[image:GentlemanBastard.jpg|250px|thumb|left|Modified ''Horizon''-class Star Yacht '''''Gentleman Bastard''''']]
==== Armor ====
Though Terran still retains his [[starwars:http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Jensaarai#Weapons_and_armor|Wookie-patterned Jensaarai armor]], he seldom dons it since his excommunication. It is a highly flexible suit of light armor, covered in spun fibers capable of deflecting light blaster fire or other low-powered impacts. The custom-molded gloves, which he does continue to wear, are lightly armored and possess miniature servomotors that increase the wearer's strength. The underside of the right gauntlet contains a spring-loaded sheath designed to keep his lightsaber within easy reach. The entire suit is tan with subtle patterning on the exterior designed to suggest the texture of fur, despite it's smoothness.

[[image:WESTAR-35.png|250px|thumb|right|WESTAR-35 Blaster Pistol]]
==== Armaments ====
Terran never leaves his ship without a bare minimum of weaponry. His lightsaber and paired [[starwars:WESTAR-35 blaster pistol|WESTAR-35 pistols]] are always with him, as are a pair of [[starwars:G-20 Glop grenade|glop grenades]]. When possible, he also carries [[starwars:Thermal detonator|thermal detonators]], [[starwars:Ion grenade|ion grenades]], and a [[starwars:WESTAR-M5 blaster rifle|WESTAR-M5 rifle]].

==== Ship ====
The ''Gentleman Bastard'' is a heavily modified ''Horizon''-class Star Yacht. The equipment pods in the yacht's wings have been outfitted to conceal a pair of concussion missile launchers. It possesses a retractable ventral AG-2G quad laser cannon and a pair of ion cannons positioned just behind and to either side of the cockpit viewport. The interior has been fitted with several smuggling compartments, as well as a confinement cell for "guests".

== Companions ==
==== Isshwarr ====
[[image:FadeLogoBlack.png|125px|link=Fade Initiative|right]][[image:Isshwarr.jpg|125px|thumb|left|Isshwarr]][[Isshwarr]] was a female Wookiee from Kashyyyk. She possessed a keen hunting instinct and extensive training in electronics and mechanical engineering. Her mate and several of her children were killed during the [[starwars:Clone Wars|Clone Wars]]. Though she stayed on Kashyyyk for several decades after that, a victim of Imperial slavery, she eventually left her home, searching for a new life that would distract her from the people she had lost.

Isshwarr was known for her keen wit and her love of surprises. In spite of the hardships she had faced in her life, she seldom grew angry and never lost her temper. As with many members of her species, she was quite adept at mechanical repairs and improvisation. She was also well-versed in computer systems, particularly electronic security systems.

Isshwarr is a Mandalorian Soldier in the [[Fade Initiative]].
{{Clear}}
==== Kolot ====
[[image:FadeLogoRed.png|125px|link=Fade Initiative|right]][[image:Kolot.jpg|125px|thumb|left|Kolot]]Genetically modified to increase his intelligence, [[Kolot]] was the result of an Imperial experiment. With intelligence higher than human norm and extensive simulator training, as well as a set of prosthesis, the Ewok was capable of piloting fighters and other starships. After escaping from Imperial captivity, he spent time as a pilot for an import-export business on Corellia. He eventually grew bored of the slow-paced lifestyle and, upon meeting Isshwarr, gladly joined her semi-legitimate enterprises.

Though intelligent and capable of intricate planning, Kolot was more bloodthirsty and prone to anger than traditional Ewoks. Despite that, he had a wry sense of humor and enjoyed playing pranks. He could speak Ewokese, Yuzzum and Shyriiwook, and could fluently understand a half dozen other languages, including Basic (though his vocal chords made it impossible to speak the latter).

Kolot is a Wilderness Scout in the [[Fade Initiative]]
{{Clear}}

==== Ktah ====
[[image:Ktahbig.JPG|150px|thumb|left|Ktah]][[Cythraul#Ktah_.28Terran.29|Ktah]] is a [[Cythraul]], one of the [[Cythraul|Hapan Hellhounds]] awarded to members of Arcona for outstanding service. Standing a full meter at the withers, he is over waist-high on Terran. With fur so blue it is almost black and eyes of crimson like his former master, he has a distinct advantage in dark environments, a fact he has learned to use to his advantage when skulking silently in Terran's wake.

Initially bonded to [[Invictus]], Ktah a became an outcast amongst his litter when his bondmate betrayed the Clan and murdered [[Cythraul#Kira_.28Marick.29|Kira]]. Kolot, noticing the way his littermates shunned the Cythraul, insisted on taking him in. In time Terran agreed, and grew close to the mischievous, fickle creature. Though initially standoffish, the pair eventually formed a strong Force-bond. While he tends to keep Isshwarr at a distant, the Cythraul sees eye-to-eye with Kolot in more ways than one.

{{Quote|Here I stand striving for solidarity, in a universe whose vastness makes me pee in my pants a little. | Mikiul "Upsidexumop" Ulai}}

Upsidexumop is a fun-loving Epicanthix male Tie Pilot in the service of [[Clan Scholae Palatinae]] who enjoys playing pranks, using subterfuge and mind tricks, whether in jest or in combat.

=='''Character History'''==
----

==='''Early Life'''===

Mikiul had an easy and pleasant childhood on a peaceful planet. Both of his parents are still alive and well. As a toddler, he was always curious and causing trouble. Upon reaching the age of 18, he decided to leave his homeworld, as he had always felt that he was meant for more and wished to be a part of something bigger than Panatha could offer. Upon reaching the first station he found, he inquired about the Empire’s Tie Corps and enlisted right away. Within a couple of months, his basic training was completed.

==='''Call to Duty'''===

During training, he met a man named [[Delak Krennel]] and formed a fast friendship. He expressed to Delak that he was not a fan of the Tie Corps anymore and that he felt he was not a good pilot. He had earned the callsign “Upsidedown” due to his unstable flying. Upside always had a feeling that he was different from others, like he had some sort of intuition, and natural talent in astrogation. But he thought it was do to his martial art training.

Delak sensed that he may be Force sensitive, saw potential in him to become a Dark Jedi and arranged for Force testing. When it showed a positive, he told him about the Dark Jedi Brotherhood and that he would talk to his people and see if he could train the young man.

==='''DJB'''===

Delak arranged transport for him to the [[Shadow Academy]] on Antei. After completing basic classes, Upside followed him to CSP, as a student of his new Master, but only using his alias name. Soon after, he decided to do GMRG training with such strong hand-to-hand fighting skills. He was a little nervous at first but optimistic, as it was a big transition from just being a pilot to learning the Force. Their first mission together was during the Fading Light campaign, where the DJB achieved victories over more Sith systems. This led right into the [[Eleventh_Great_Jedi_War|GJW XI]], where Upside's piloting and melee skills were put to the test, to hold off the One Sith and loyalist Brotherhood forces on Korriban.

Once he reached Jedi Hunter rank, he mostly used his Force abilities for entertaining himself and others, by pulling pranks on friends and foes. Practicing subterfuge and manipulation, he would make things disappear that people were looking for, clouding their mind so they couldn’t see them. Since he is an Epicanthix, he cannot be swayed and they would not even know it’s coming. He took joy in messing with new recruits, hiding their light sabers and convincing them to do his chores for him, like feeding the Imperial Barn animals, then laugh if they got in trouble.

=='''Description'''==

==='''Physical Description'''===

An Epicanthix appears as near-human but for their distinguished epicanthic eyelid folds. Also, they have a rare genetic immunity to Force-assisted mental tricks, influence, domination and mind reading.

Upside is a 25 year old male, young considering their average lifespan is 130. With tan skin, brown hair and green eyes, he appears as any other, except for the long scar across his left eye. His sinewy muscles reveal his years of martial arts training.

==='''Personality'''===

Upside is an easygoing, optimistic guy who likes to goof off, but is easily distracted by shiny things or fun games. Though tactful, he prefers straight talk and will give his friends an honest opinion, which they appreciate.

In combat, he can also appear playful, which makes his opponents underestimate his intensity. He is always trying new moves and thinks unconventionally, sometimes outside of established rules and norms, which has caused those who make assumptions to find themselves on the losing side.

==='''Trivia'''===
Upsidexumop is a play on the words “upside down”, as the second part is inverted.

No clan members know his true first and last name, only the Clan Summit may have a record of it.
