| == Now You Know Her... ==
| | Syntari Bastiayn was born in 10 ABY on the planet [[starwars:Umbara|Umbara]] to parents in one of the highest castes. The daughter of Celeste Bastiayn, the matriarch of her clan, she was raised in typical Shadow People fashion with the traditional values of treachery and schemes. She would spend her formative years from her birth to 25 ABY shrouded within the secrecy of her mother's clan. Despite her traditional upbringing Syntari was noted as having a distaste for the usual secrecy and schemes of her species' world, and up until she was fifteen years old she would quietly bear such tutelage at her mother's knee. |

|
| So you know her, right? You've seen her around, this Umbaran and Bpfasshi mutt with the bright green eyes and the grin that at first glance seems biting? You know her haunts, the places she hangs out on a general basis, her habits, the works? If you said yes to any of those things, think again and keep reading. Yes, she does hang out wherever holocrons and stores of knowledge can be found, and yes, she does actively seek out the newest political intrigues--but why? Always one for gaining new information, she does make it a point to be seen at least once searching through the archives, and the more often the better. To sate her political thirst, she also makes it a point to be seen near her Master, Shikyo Keibatsu, who as a member of the Dark Council is privy to the sort of news she is always looking for. A hacker of exceptional skill and a Krath who is well-versed in the art of battle, she devotes a lot of her time to learning every subject known and unknown to the galaxy, including old and unused, often called 'arcane', styles of fighting.
| | ===Teenage Drama=== |
| That is all seen on the outside, however. At a glimpse she is lithe and graceful, moving not only with a warrior's poise but with the bearing of one who knows what no one else does--and the smile that crosses her face often times hints at her possession of some great secret of the world. In public she is confident, intelligent and quick witted, and a bit more willing to speak with others than perhaps she should be, moving through a crowd as though she belongs there and yet is a part of it.
| |
| Though it would be an obvious mistake to reveal what is turmoiling through her mind in secret, it is enough to say that her public face is not a full representation of who, or even what, she really is. Loyal to a fault, yes, and maybe even overly cautious, she is headstrong and protective of those in her inner circle of friends and confidants. Unwilling to put up with any suggestion of backstabbing behavior or unnecessary stupidity, she openly speaks her mind in most situations and tries to surround herself with those she views as intelligent and capable of acting with common sense. For those she judges worthy, she will risk her life--but not if it results or is caused by any stupid situations. She tends to flare up in anger if provoked and it truly sparks when she fails or believes herself to have failed. Of a secretive nature, Syntari is sometimes prone to violent rages or long periods of absolute silence, the reasons for which are unknown, and so far no one has managed to break her out of the latter mood with much success; it depends on her own whim, it seems, to return to normal. Usually she is serious and keeps her own council, though it seems she has taken her Master into her trust and will speak the most openly when in his company; typically, she keeps her true thoughts to herself and speaks her mind only to understand the opinions of others.

| === Now You Don't... ===
| | When Syntari was fifteen years old the world she knew would come crumbling down around her. The quiet life she had lead would go up on flames when, to her mother's shame, she was put on trial and convicted guilty for multiple murders. One of the victims would be her own father, an Umbaran of questionable social status, while others would be revealed as peers who were no younger than the fifteen year old Syntari herself. The cause of death? Umbaran records do not say. (Her own would say, "gruesome", and nothing more.) The conviction of guilty would result in her being banned from the planet and her name wiped from all Umbaran records; despite this, she would carry on the name of Bastiayn and would be the first of her clan in centuries who would venture outside of [[starwars:umbara|Umbara]]'s atmosphere. |
| You've seen her in those contemplative moods, right? The ones where she looks at you with those vivid eyes full of some intense, hidden emotions and says nothing, sometimes for hours or even weeks? Or in those moments when she is deep in the explosive currents of rage and seems able to destroy anything in arms reach? When she becomes the predator and is not, for once, the prey of the universe? No one knows why these occur, why she is susceptible to them, or what can break her out of them. When she finally comes back to herself it seems to be completely random, and most often times it is when she is alone and by herself that she snaps out of it. Her episodes are rare and, generally, events that she tries to keep to herself and not make public--though it is written here, details are not explained. For that reason she is more secretive than she has to be.

| | Unbeknownst to Syntari, this incident would awaken her connection with the Force, though later family records would indicate that Force sensitivity was considered a sickness, and such members would be often quarantined or sent away. |

| === When In Battle... ===
| |
|
| |
|
| When on the field of battle, however, she is entirely different. Even to those she sees as enemies she is not as hostile as others, preferring instead to goad her opponents with taunts or jibes to various ends. To her close friends she will still not hesitate to cause damage or to even kill, if circumstances allow it, as she would expect and even demand the same from them. In the case of confidants, and especially to those she respects very highly, she is very polite and refrains from making fun of them or otherwise humiliating them, though again she will not hesitate to maim or kill her opponents no matter who they are. She shows little to no mercy, though she is not reckless in the way she fights; she is cool, calm, and collected, and rarely ever rushes headlong into battle.

| | The request from [[Cyril Omega]], who had remained MIA for the majority of six years, turned out to be a turning point in Syntari's life. The reasons behind Cyril's abdication remain unknown, as Syntari was not privy to the details of her friends' desire for freedom. The result of her aid in this is also unknown; whether Cyril lived or died was never clear, and Syntari would never have a chance to find out. Instead the Umbaran would take Cyril's place within Clan [[Naga Sadow]] and it is there that she has remained to this day. Her life in the Clan would be filled with betrayal, heartbreak, a never-ending thirst for knowledge and the power she had lacked throughout her life, and ultimately a craving for revenge she wold never have. These events have culminated in the events of the current age, which encompasses her recent medical intervention and resulting memory loss. |

|
| === History ===
| | Not long after arriving in [[Naga Sadow]] space Syntari Bastiayn would gain the attention of none other than [[Shikyo Keibatsu]]. Her apprenticeship to the then-Herald would be an interesting one, as his various duties as Herald would interfere with her training and result in delayed ascension to Knighthood. She would proceed to spend the better part of a year "languishing", she would later say to friend and ally [[Mirus Hi'ija]], following a quick ascension to the rank of Huntress. In her words she would spend "an ungodly amount of time laboring in the Archives, striving to learn the skills he wouldn't teach". Despite not displaying a penchant for secrecy previously, it is Syntari's apprenticeship to Shikyo that would teach her the secrecy she hadn't learned before; her time beneath his tutelage would also sharpen the distaste for authority she already possessed. What the [[Keibatsu]] taught her is unclear, and with her memory loss, Syntari herself will never know what her former self learned in her early days as a Sadowan. |
|
| |
|
| Syntari has always been known to be ingeniously sly, a half-breed of quick wit capable of acts of stoic horror and, at times, crafty manipulation. A native of the Bpfassh system, she was born to a Bpfassh father and, oddly enough, an Umbaran mother rather high up in the social structure. From birth it was said she was an odd child; though frighteningly quiet, she was never soft in her silence and early on acted heavily superior to all others, including her parents. Her father was linked, through his own lineage, to the cult of Dark Bpfassh that attempted to take over the system, and it was through him that she gained her connection to the Force. He left both her and her mother behind when she was barely a few months old, and thus was temporarily saved from Syntari's awakening to the art of murder. At ten standard years of age she killed her mother and several other families that lived nearby, taking any objects of worth and stealing a respectable sum in credits before leaving the system. From there she acquired her own ship, the <i>Scimitar</i>, and at thirteen standard years of age she met up with soon-to-be Brotherhood member, Cyril Nighthunter. The two established themselves as both hackers and bounty hunters, and though those careers did not last very long they each managed to amass more credits, with Syntari keeping most of hers in separate accounts. When she was fifteen and Cyril sixteen standard years of age, the latter became a member of the Dark Jedi Brotherhood and the two went their separate ways. Just before Syntari ended up joining the Brotherhood, she went back to her native system in search of any records of her father, and in the process learned that he had fathered another child just a year before her own conception. It was on the path to hunt him down that she discovered that Cyril Nighthunter was her half-sister, and her father subsequently killed. After that, it was only a matter of time before she and her former best friend met up once more, and this time it ended with the Sadowan's death. The Zeltron died on Nar Shaddaa, and from there Syntari became a Brotherhood member--since then, she has not told anyone about what happened between her and Cyril. | | Of note, Syntari used to brag about her apprenticeship to Shikyo, however it didn't take long for her to quiet down about the details of her apprenticeship. Chief among a variety of reasons was a paranoid desire to avoid unwanted attention, something she never cared about prior to her apprenticeship. As stated, amnesia has taken her memories of Shikyo's tutelage, and today she doesn't question where she learned her skills, nor the identity of her teacher. |
| Syntari keeps her past relatively hidden, except for what is written here, mostly out of the opinion that it isn't all that important, though her mood swings do hint at harsh incidents in her youth. All those be warned, however, who would cause harm to those she considers friends and allies.
| | |
| | ===The Dark Crusades and Other Wars=== |
| | Although Syntari did participate in the [[Dark Crusade]] she can no longer remember her achievements during that time, and lacking the medals for achievement she does not claim participation. She is unsure of her participation in other wars, though she does possess medals that suggest she had honorable achievements up to the [[Twelfth Great Jedi War]]. Her memories do not help in this matter, as she remembers nothing. |

| === In the Brotherhood... ===
| | After the "life saving efforts" of Calenhad, Syntari spent several months languishing aboard the ships the Clan currently occupies, keeping mostly to her quarters and speaking little. If ever anyone inquired as to her comings and goings she would simply walk away from the Clan members she had once called allies, unable to recognize names or faces or even where her loyalties were cast. Curiously, Syntari seemed to lack an interest into her former life and instead invested her time in rediscovering her Force abilities; her talents now seem to be turning towards skills which would make her unseeable, talents suiting a member of the Dark Jedi Brotherhood. |
| Not much is known about why she came to the Brotherhood or how she even came to know of it; for most of her life, Syntari claimed to not have knowledge of her Force capabilities. It is noted that Cyril Nighthunter maintained some contact with the Bpfasshi after her arrival in the Brotherhood, and perhaps that is where her knowledge comes from. Shortly before the Herald's mission in Socorro, he was approached by the newly-arrived Syntari and given an unusual "gift": the lightsabre of his former apprentice, the deceased Nighthunter, along with the news of her supposed death. Shortly after that Syntari was made a member of the Brotherhood and placed in Independent House Taldrayn with Shikyo Keibatsu as her Master, under whom she is currently studying and greatly respects. Usually she keeps out of public view, interacting mostly with her Master with little to no exceptions. The more her power grows, however, the more people she will eventually speak to.

|
| | Briefly, at the behest of Rollmaster [[Tasha'Vel Versea]], Syntari turned her sights on becoming a Blackguard for Consul [[Bentre Stahoes]], while her enemy Calenhad guarded Consul [[Ashia Kagan Keibatsu]]. Due to an emotional breakdown, the Umbaran did little with the title of Blackguard and subsequently vanished, leaving Bentre unguarded and requiring new Blackguard to be chosen in her stead. Some months later she was found a wraith of her former self, having nearly starved herself to death. Presently she has rejoined the Clan, but as Syntari doesn't have a history of sticking around, it remains to be seen if she will stay a permanent member of the Clan that she has called home for so long. |

| === Weapons ===
| |
|
| |
|
| Her katana is a modified replica of the swords used thousands of years before the Battle of Yavin, with a blade made of beskar instead of durasteel. Despite having an armory sabre with which she is proficient, her katana is her main weapon of choice and, in her eyes, the more reliable of the two. If ever she has the choice she will fight with it and nothing else, as she views blasters as "poorly designed and impersonal machines", and even lightsabres aren't full extensions of the self. The blade is a bit shorter than the average lightsabre length and for a short time can stand up to hits with said weapon, though the beskar would have to be replaced or refined every few weeks to keep it in decent shape. She takes great pride in her sword and is often to be found polishing it or sharpening it in the solitude of her room.

Syntari Bastiayn is a Krath Adherent and the former apprentice of Shikyo Keibatsu. A member of the Night Hawks, she has earned the title of Mystic while in service to Clan Naga Sadow and has sworn what loyalty she has to House Marka Ragnos.
