| For the main part of my life he thought that his parents lived a life as slaves like he did before the Brotherhood. But after intensive Researches about his origins he found out that his father was a Jedi General during the Clone Wars, who managed to survive the Order 66 and lived for several years on Tython before he died defending his former Padawan on Mustafar. While he is still on his researches he yet didn’t know anything about his mother or why she gave him to an orphanage shortly after his birth. Growing up in an orphanage wasn’t an easy life. To claim himself, he became a ruthless roughneck. At the age of 13, a [[starwars:Neimoidian|Neimoidian]] named Rune Durjes became his owner.
| | Rian is born on Concordia as son of a mirialan Jedi and a human female Jedi. After their death, his uncle took on the young half-mirialan and Rian eventually entered the Concordia Military Academy. |

| | Something about Rian having a hard time as teenager on a mandalorian military academy while being a half-breed. |
| After he became a slave to Durjes, he started to be trained as gladiator by a mid age Rattataki in the different forms of melee combat. As time passed by, his muscles became hardened, in the many arena fights he fought, against many different enemies like other gladiators, animals and even droids. At the age of 17 he lost his eyes in a battle with a Nexu in the arena of [[starwars:Geonosis|Geonosis]]. His eyes were replaced with ocular implants after the end of that battle.

| As time passed by, Rian become a formidable Gladiator, winning nearly all of his fights in the arenas. In 31 ABY Durjes offered Rian a deal; that the Rattataki and Rian would be released from slavery, but only if Rian won one more arena fight. He agreed, after he had talked with the [[starwars:Rattataki|Rattataki]]. One week later Rian stood in the arena of Teth, waiting for the last one who stood between him and his liberty. The door on the other side of the arena slid off and a young [[starwars:Rancor|Rancor]] entered the arena. He didn’t know how he managed to kill the [[starwars:Rancor|Rancor]], but managed it. [[File:Rian2010a.jpg|thumb|100px|Rian when he joins up the Brotherhood]]
| | Shortly before Rian graduates from the Military Academy a recruitment group from the First Order arrives. They not only want to force the Academy's leadership to influence all graduates to join the First Order but want to make the academy a First Order training facility as well. During the events Rian unintentionally reveals his connection to the Force, resulting in him getting imprisoned by the First Order for being a Jedi. While imprisoned, Rian's uncle tells his nephew everything about his jedi Parents and that he has prepared everything for the time Rian discovers his connection to the Force. Eventually Rian is able to escape with the help of his friends but his uncle gets heavily injured and is left behind. Together with his friends, Rian manages to steal the personal starship of the Academy's director and the group starts their search for other Force sensitves going through a list of star systems collected by his uncle over the last years. |
|

|
| Back at Durjes' ship, Rian was ordered to visit Durjes in his room. Durjes had told Rian that the deal had been cancelled because he lost much credits due to the fact that Rian won the battle. He called 2 Weequay in to kill the Rattataki and Rian in their room. In their room, Rian and the Rattataki unarmed the Weequay and managed to escape. During their escape, the Rattataki was shot by one of the several guards above Durjes' ship. After the escape-pod crashed on, [[starwars:Teth|Teth]] the Rattataki died telling his final words to Rian.
| | Picking a random system from the list, he ends up in the Kr'tal system where he gets caught on Karufr by a couple of Taldryan Dark Jedi. Rian gets handed to Shaz'air who then talks him to join Taldryan and become his apprentice. |

| | |
| | |
| Thinking of the last words from his former mentor, Rian was interrupted by some of Durjes' henchmen, lead by a [[starwars:Twi'lek|Twi’lek]] called Nawera. Lead by the Force itself, he killed the most of the henchmen; only Nawera was able to escape Rian’s powerful rage. After that, a man by the name of Brent helped him to find a ship that would take him to the recently liberated world of [[Antei]], where he joined the Brotherhood.

| In early 33 ABY his Girlfriend Saria was kidnapped by a Nawera, a henchman of his former owner Rune Durjes. In a Holo-message Nawera left for him, he told him that he would wait with her on a Planet called [[starwars:Burcana|Burcana]], a barren world of icy rock, located in the Inner Rim, was the location of a small Smugglers Hideout, named Fearpoint Station. During the flight to [[starwars:Burcana|Burcana]] the young [[Sith]] saw a vision about a [[starwars:Wroonian|Wroonian]] [[starwars:Jedi|Jedi]] and his Death on a fiery Lava-world. After Rian arrived the hold out Nawera offered him a deal arranged by Durjes to leave him and his Girlfriend in peace if he was able to find her inside and escape the station alive. Nawera also told him that if his Companion, a nameless [[starwars:Nikto|Nikto]], remained more than 15 minutes outside the Hideout a bomb inside of it will detonate. Seeing no other chance to save her Rian agreed and entered the Hideout. The Hideout itself was secured by various droids, such as [[starwars:Sentry droid|Sentry-droids]], [[starwars:Grapple droideka|Grapple-Droidekas]] and [[starwars:B1 battle droid|B1-Battledroids]]. It was also equipped with numerous deadly traps, like Dart-shooters and Trapdoors. Unfortunately soon after he entered the Hideout he stepped directly into one of these traps and got poisoned. From inside an office he was able to locate Saria on the lowest level of the Hideout, but the power to the lift that would be able to bring him to this level was cut off. Fighting his way up to the Power Supply Room, located in an exterior section of it, he reactivated the Main-Power of the Hideout. Directly after he reactivated he got in a skirmish with Nawera on the Connection Bridge between the Power Supply Room and the Main-part of the Hideout. The battle ended after Rian disabled Naweras Jetpack and let him fall down from the Bridge. Back inside the Hideout Rian met up with the [[starwars:Nikto|Nikto]] for the first time. The [[starwars:Nikto|Nikto]] himself was a fearless enemy, who no matter why mentioned [[Keagan Aslar|Rians father]] at the beginning of their fight, but he wasn’t force sensitive and so he was no match for the Jedi Hunters abilities and within seconds the battle turned out to Rians advantage. After he buried the [[starwars:Nikto|Nikto]] under tons of debris he finally could make his way down to the lowest level where he found Saria in on of the many research laboratories all over the level. While they tried to get to the exit hatch of the Hideout the [[starwars:Nikto|Nikto]] freed him self out of the debris and restarted his hunt for Rian and Saria. As closer the got to the exit hatch as harder the poison effected Rians reactions. Deciding to grant her boyfriend some time to heal his wound she helped him into a small accommodation, where the two hide for a rest. After a meditation to decontaminate his body from the poison a small [[starwars:T7|utility droid]] overrun the controls of the door and entered the room. They quickly figured out that the droid once belonged to [[Keagan Aslar|Rians father]] and that he still contents data files that Rian could tell more about his origins. Due to this fact they decided to take the droid with them. And not a moment to early they left the room and headed for the exit. With the [[starwars:Nikto|Nikto]] in their neck they reached the exit hatch. To grant his girlfriend and the droid more time to safely call her Co-pilot to pick them up. While Saria outside the Station faced Nawera, Rian faced the [[starwars:Nikto|Nikto]] inside the Hideout. In this final battle the [[starwars:Nikto|Nikto]] made use of a [[starwars:Cortosis staff|staff-like weapon]] with a plasma blade protruding from one edge, similar to a lightsaber. Rians surprise didn’t last for long but with this weapon the fight was more balanced but again through his connection to the Force Rian took away the victory after he crushed the [[starwars:Nikto|Nikto]] between a wall and a gigantic device. Outside the Hideout Saria and the droid were caught up behind a rock while Nawera shot a missile after them. Seeing the young [[Sith]] he turned and offered to him that all of this have been a game from Durjes and that he had been betrayed or another time by his former owner, who just wanted to kill him this way. Nawera who - by his own - thought that this would be done through the [[starwars:Nikto|Nikto]] was no in the position to take on Rian personally. Fully driven by anger over this betrayal he drilled the blade of his Armory Saber through Naweras chest. After killing Nawera and said goodbye to Saria. He took the droid and went over to Naweras [[starwars:B-wing/E2 starfighter|B-Wing/E2]] and headed for the last known Hideout of his [[Keagan Aslar|father]]: [[starwars:Tython|Tython]].
| | Rian finds out that his uncle is still alive and kept imprisoned in a secret First Order prison called Fearpoint Prison. Rian sets out to find his uncle and free him. Fearpoint Prison is a shadow city deep below the surface of Mandalore and will be detailed by the reorked version of my second character fiction. |

| === Trials from the Past ===
| |
| Throughout the flight to [[starwars:Tython|Tython]] Rian had another Vision of this [[starwars:Wroonian|Wroonian]] [[starwars:Jedi|Jedi]] but this time he was actually a part of it being another [[starwars:Jedi|Jedi]] fighting alongside the [[starwars:Wroonian|Wroonian]], of which he now was sure it was his father. After he saw his [[Keagan Aslar|father]] die another time he heard the familiar voice of his old friend the [[starwars:Rattataki|Rattataki]] telling him that he should have told him long ago about his origins and that he once was the Padawan of Keagan Aslar.
| |
| | |
| | |
| {{Quote|"''Rian, I am sorry, I should have told you this much earlier. The [[starwars:Jedi master|Jedi Master]] in your vision was your [[Keagan Aslar|father]] and he also was my master.''"
| |
| | |
| "''Does that mean you have been a [[starwars:Jedi|Jedi]] too?''"|Rian and the [[starwars:Force ghost|Spirit]] of the [[starwars:Rattataki|Rattataki]]}}
| |
| | |
| | |
| He also told him about the location of the necropolis where the mortal body of his [[Keagan Aslar|father]] have been buried by him. After Rian settled down the [[starwars:B-wing/E2 starfighter|ship]] near to the entry to the necropolis he immediately felt the strength of the [[starwars:Force|Force]] near the necropolis. The necropolis itself was divided into several Sub-Levels connected via stairways and as deeper Rian got into it as harder the challenges become. But the Challenges wasn’t the only obstacle thwarting him, [[starwars:K'lor'slug|K’lor’slugs]] have somehow found their way into this holy tomb and served now the spirits of the long dead [[starwars:Jedi|Jedi]] to protect their graves from Desecrators and Raiders. When he finally came to the lowest Level he saw himself in front of a gigantic Stone-Door, leading to the Inner Sanctum of the necropolis. He tried to open it with both his physical Strength and the [[starwars:Force|Force]] but it didn’t move a tiny millimetre. After a couple of tries several [[starwars:Force ghost|Spirits]] showed up around him in stone seats and for the first time he saw the similarity between this antechamber and the Jedi High Council. When the first [[starwars:Force ghost|Spirit]] started to talk another [[starwars:Force ghost|Spirit]] showed up besides him, it was his [[Keagan Aslar|father]].

| | This whole section will receive more details as I get the time to work them all up |
| | After his return to Karufr, Rian gets promoted to the rank of Knight and gets awarded his first real lightsaber from his master and other elders of the Clan. Shortly after attaining his Knighthood, he becomes the Rollmaster of Taldryan. |
|
| |
|
| {{Quote|"''He is full of the [[starwars:Dark side of the Force|Dark Side]], we can’t offer him the chance to take on our trials.''"
| | With the success came the spoils and it didn't took long until Rian was promoted to the ranks of Equites as well as continuously climbing up the ladder as leader within Taldryan. Eventually becoming the Consul of Taldryan and though he knew about the importance of leadership, his more and more felt himself entrapped within the burdens of politics. |
|
| |
|
| "''That is just the same view you once had about me.''"
| | After the Dark Crusade and the rise of Grand Master Pravus, Rian stepped down from his position of Consul and became a field agent of the Clan, working closely with the Intelligence Brand of the Taldryan Expansionary Forces. |
|
| |
|
| "''But your case was different, you’ve gone through the Jedi Educations, you learned how to withstand your emotions.''"
| | === Behind enemy lines === |
|
| |
|
| "''All he knows came from the dark Side.''"
| | At some point in 34 ABY, the Taldryan Elders felt a shift in the Force and when rumors spread about tensions between the reigning Grand Master and Clans of the Brotherhood, Rian, among other members of Taldryan was ordered to infiltrate the Dark Council as assistants to the various Councilors. Rian now being a Son of Taldrya himself, agreed without hesitation and applied to the position as Magistrate to the Herald. |
|
| |
|
| "''But you must see that inside his heart there is a place of light and compassion, something that guides his judgement, I please you my [[starwars:Jedi master|masters]] grant him the chance to pass the trials.''"
| | Rian fulfilled his duties as Magistrate without difficulty but had to break up with his mission as later that year when former Grand Master and Justicar Jac Cotelin, a Son of Taldrya himself, attacked Karufr and accused all members of Taldryan to have broken with the ways of the Brotherhood by allowing followers of the Lightside into their ranks. |
|
| |
|
| "''Well [[Keagan Aslar|Master Aslar]] if this is your wish…''"|Some of the [[starwars:Force ghost|Spirits]] from long dead Jedi}}
| | By order of Grand Master Pravus, every member of Taldryan was now claimed a traitor and undesirable. |
|
| |
|
| | | Taldryan now under the reign of an officer of the Taldryan Expansionary Forces joined the so called Resistance and while their numbers were limited Rian offered himself to become the Quaestor of House Ektrosis. |
| [[File:Innersanctum.jpg|thumb|250px|left|The Necropolis Inner Sanctum]]
| |
| The Spirits vanished and the door to the Inner Sanctum opened unhanded. Inside the Inner Sanctum the surface was completely different; the ground was polished and photo-luminescent trees and flowers were aligned along the way with only a few Sarcophaguses between them. Suddenly 3 almost invisible walls appeared from different directions and crossed the way with varying speed. Stretching out to the [[starwars:Force|Force]] Rian was able to pass them before they were able to cut him into pieces. The next trial was supposed to be a bit trickier. Right after he passed the door Rian found himself on a chunk of debris floating with other parts of debris floating around him. Like a big life-size puzzle he had to connect the debris to form out a bridge to the other side. The circle repeated with two more rooms where Rians capabilities in using the force have been tested. Then he came to the last trial, the last room was similar to the first one but a lot bigger and in the distance he could hear the familiar sound of lightsaber-blades clashing against each other. Guided by the [[starwars:Force|Force]] he sensed two shadows fighting each other. As sooner he got the shadows became more distinct. One of the shadows was his [[Keagan Aslar|father]] and the other was… It was his [[Quaestor]], [[Sidarace Rathden|Shaz’air Taldrya Rathden]].
| |
| Stunned by what he saw the young [[Sith]] heard the voice from one of the [[starwars:Force ghost|Spirits]] talking to him.
| |
| | |
| | |
| {{Quote|To pass the trial you have to choose your path. Whom you want to follow.|A [[starwars:Force ghost|Spirit]] from the Inner Sanctum talking to Rian}}
| |
| | |
| | |
| As Rian watched the battle expanded into his heart, whom should he follow? His [[Quaestor]] whom he swore loyalty into his own death?, or the [[Keagan Aslar|father]] who once sent the [[starwars:Rattataki|Rattataki]] to watch over him? The fight continued until the young [[Sith]] finally came to a conclusion. Determinedly he stepped in between them pair as they charge at each other, blocking their blades with his own emerald colored. Then he casted a telekinetic blow pushing them both apart to end the fight.
| |
| | |
| | |
| {{Quote|Enough!|Rian engaging against [[Sidarace Rathden|Shaz’airs]] image and his father}}
| |
| | |
| | |
| The battle ended and all around him vanished in a wave of pure bright light. After the light was gone he was again standing in front of the open Stone-door leading into the Inner Sanctum. But now it looked completely different. Now it was nearly like all the other rooms he had passed a corridor with alcoves on both sides holding highly decorated Sarcophaguses of the [[starwars:Jedi master|masters]] he faced in the antechamber inclusive the one holding the mortal body of his father. Kneeling beside the sarcophagus of his father he hesitated before he started to excuse his failure in the trial. Suddenly he felt the warmth of a hand on his shoulder. His [[Keagan Aslar|father]] appeared beside him telling him how proud he is about him and that he didn’t failed the trial but passed it to his greatest satisfaction. Rian understood in the Trial that there can’t be any Light without Darkness nor otherwise and he now with this knowledge is able to become one of the most powerful [[starwars:Jedi|Jedi]] ever known to the Galaxy. A mental tingle pulled his attention to a hidden compartment sliding out from the side of the sarcophagus revealing a small sachet that his Father gifted him for passing the trial.

| | |
| {{Quote|These crystals will serve your purpose well, use them carefully when you think the time is right.|Keagan Aslar gifting a small sachet with lightsaber-crystals to Rian}}
| |
| | |
| | |
| With the mighty words …may the [[starwars:Force|Force]] be with you… his [[Keagan Aslar|fathers]] [[starwars:Force ghost|Spirit]] vanished and he was alone in the Necropolis. The young [[Sith]] sheathed the sachet to his belt and made his way back out of the Necropolis to his [[starwars:B-wing/E2 starfighter|ship]].

| | |
| === Past Imperfect ===
| |
| [[File:Cato.jpg|thumb|250px|left|Cato Neimoidian Bridge City]]The moment Rian was back on [[Taruma|'''Taruma''']] he changed his Order to [[Obelisk]] since he felt himself more comfortable with this Order than with the Order he had chosen when he joined up to the [[Dark Jedi Brotherhood|Brotherhood]]. It was to the same time when he felt himself strong enough in the [[starwars:Force|Force]] to end up his personal vendetta with his former owner the [[starwars:Neimoidian|Neimoidian]] Rune Durjes. After talking to his Summit he got the Agreement to go to [[starwars:Cato Neimoidia|Cato Neimoidia]] and chase after the one who caused his greatest Loss and betrayed him time after time. With the help of his Girlfriend Saria and her Co-Pilot Aleema he flew to [[starwars:Cato Neimoidia|Cato]] and arranged a meeting at Durjes Mansion. During this meeting the young [[Obelisk]] was stroked down by Nawera from whom he thought he had killed him on [[starwars:Burcana]]. One month later he woke up in a small Med bay without any memory of what has happened in the last 2 years. Durjes told him that he was still his slave and works as a Gladiator for him. In the following days he started to believe what was told to him and got back into the life he was told to have. But somehow he felt that something wasn’t like it was supposed to be and this strange feeling was additionally underscored by occasionally visions of him being a [[starwars:Jedi|Jedi]]. Although he wasn’t sure about the meaning of this visions he didn’t gave into it until he unconsciously summoned the [[starwars:Force|Force]] to defeat his opponent in the arena on [[starwars:Cato Neimoidia|Cato Neimoidia]]. Back in the mansion of Durjes he found a young slave girl, in which he saw something like a little sister, over and over littered with bruises. Nawera who was responsible for that tried to provoke him but due to another slave Rian was able to withstand the provocations and stayed cool. Later at night he used the [[starwars:Force]] again unconsciously as he telekinetically lifted several small objects in his room while he tried to fall asleep. It was that time that the other slave came to him and told him the truth about the last two years.
| |
| | |
| | |
| {{Quote|Well I think I have to tell you the truth. It’s been slightly more than 2 years ago since you escaped your slavery along with the olde man. It happened on [[starwars:Teth|Teth]]. You two managed to escape Nawera and Durjes henchmen but actually the olde man was struck down by a blaster during your escape. You have beaten Naweras nose heavily during your escape. They said you hired up to an Organisation called [[Dark Jedi Brotherhood]]. Then about one month ago you came back to take on revenge for the olde man. Man seriously, you went through his guards like a herd of hungry rancors, no one could stop you except Nawera, he stunned you and they brought you to the med bay, then they told us that they would kill any of us if we tell you about the last 2 years.|Riccs (another slave of Durjes) to Rian}}
| |
| | |
| | |
| [[File:Cato.arena.jpg|thumb|200px|right|Bridge-City Arena]]Now with the knowledge that his visions have been memories it was relatively easy for him to feed his power with the anger about Durjes and Nawera. Driven by this anger he walked upstairs blasting the sealed door that leads into the main section of the mansion. Searching for them to bring them to justice he faced a group of Weequays. Within seconds he had unarmed and killed them. The noise from the battle remained not unheard and soon he faced Nawera, again the two met in a fight to the death.
| |
| | |
| The fight soon resumed its violent form. Nawera was able to knock Rian’s blade out of his hand, but before he could capitalize on this opportunity for a killing blow, the young Wroonian responded by catching him by the wrists. Drawing upon his anger, he crushed his right wrist with his force altered strength, causing him to drop his own Blade he held much to his own abject shock. Taking up his blade, Rian continued to strike at him with vicious slashing attacks and power lunges, driving him back over the floor. He struck harder and harder until the force from the attacks made the stone he was standing on crumble, causing him to fall back into another room where he was buried under the debris. To make sure that Nawera was really dead he stepped over the debris and lifted Naweras body. Crimson ran down from multiple cuts brought to him by the Jedi Hunters swords-play. Sure that Nawera was dead he turned and proceeded to Durjes private room in the mansion.

| | |
| He finally found Durjes. He sat behind his desk and the Jedi Hunters Armory saber laid in a display stand in front of him. Spreading out in the [[starwars:Force|Force]] his lightsaber was instantly snap-hissed in his hand, the emerald colored blade facing Durjes. It was only because of a tingle in his neck that allowed him to dodge a slash from a Vibro-blade held by Nawera. Again he was facing Nawera and for the first time he recognized that it wasn’t blood tickling down the scars of his body but reddish servo-fluid.

| [[File:Riananger.jpg|thumb|175px|right|Rian after he got back his memories]]The [[starwars:Twi'lek|Twi’leks]] reply came in fast with a set of violent devastating strokes. But the Vibrosword was no match for the Hunters lightsaber. Piece by piece he cut off the blade until only the grip remained in the Twi’leks hand. Rian lunged forward, to end this up. With one heavy stroke he sheered off the cyborgs head. Now he had only one thing left to do.
| |
| With the knowledge that Nawera finally was dead he strolled back to Durjes to offer him his deal for a last time but regrettably the gutless Neimoidian has decided to end up his own life by poisoning himself instead of accepting Rians judgment. The moment Rian went down to tell Riccs and the others that Durjes and Nawera being dead the main door was blasted and Saria and her Co-pilot entered the manor. For a single moment there were only the two of them in the universe. One single moment in which no one has to say anything to assure their feelings. But this moment couldn’t last for ever and so after a brief greeting the three went down to the slave’s accommodations. After talking to the slaves the question came up for the slaves where to go and what to do now and soon they all knew that the best would be to follow Rian to [[Taruma|'''Taruma''']] and start a new life.

| When he assumed his Equitehood, Aslar abandoned his old Journeyman robes and adopted to wear a light and functional robe with a deep sitting hood, that bath most of his face in shadows and provides him a great freedom of movement in Combat. The robe itself combines different sorts of fabrics and black leather with elements of armorweave as it was required by a deadly, lightsaber-wielding member of the Obelisk Order. Completing his attire Rian covers his hands and forearms with gauntlets made of light colored, gathered leather with three metallic knobs located between the knuckles. He is usually seen to wear a heavy cloak over this robe.

| | While generally wearing his customized Battle suit, Rian is also known to own a variety of other outfits, that he would don depending on the situation and what he was up to represent and range from of light and functional robe with a deep sitting hood that combines different sorts of fabrics and black leather with an protective undervest of armorweave to the traditional Torrent robe, which is made of the finest Zeyd-cloth and lined up with duralloy armor plates, emblazened with the Taldryan crest upon the belt buckle in times when Rian serves as part of the House Summit such as during ceremonies or non-official Summit meetings.[[File:Rianrobe.jpg|thumb|250px|right|Rian's customized Tenacity Robe]] |

Like all Astromech droids whose memory banks haven’t been erased from time to time Z5 has developed a streak personality that bounds him to the young Taldryanite because he shared a deep relationship to Rians father. The Z-series was originally created as a highly versatile military droid, specialized for intelligence and surveillance. They employed an advanced sensor array and had impressive analytical and hacking abilities as well as several specialized armaments, such as an EMP-Generator and Charge Arm. Z5 was later equipped with a set of Brooks Propulsion rocket boosters by Jedi Knight Keagan Aslar during the time of the Clone Wars.

Cipher has had the bulk of his spherical body coated in a very light, almost white color with his tool-bay disks accentuated in black and red with silver trimmings surrounding them. In contrast the dome head of 'Cipher' has been coated in a black color with markings and trimmings in the same red and silver as on his body and had its sensor suites upgraded to significantly increase their range and sensitivity, allowing him to collect and record a wide range of data during scouting operations. |

- "Embrace your dreams... If you want to be a Hero, you need to have dreams..."
- ― Rian Taldrya
Rian is a highly trained Half-mirialan with a pale golden-tannish, almost olive skin and well defined muscles. An irrepressible, young man who dives headfirst into combat using almost nothing than his powerful physique and extreme reflexes as weapon He joined the Dark Brotherhood in 25 ABY, after fleeing the First Order.
Character History
Childhood
Rian is born on Concordia as son of a mirialan Jedi and a human female Jedi. After their death, his uncle took on the young half-mirialan and Rian eventually entered the Concordia Military Academy.
Teen Years
Something about Rian having a hard time as teenager on a mandalorian military academy while being a half-breed.
Adult life
Shortly before Rian graduates from the Military Academy a recruitment group from the First Order arrives. They not only want to force the Academy's leadership to influence all graduates to join the First Order but want to make the academy a First Order training facility as well. During the events Rian unintentionally reveals his connection to the Force, resulting in him getting imprisoned by the First Order for being a Jedi. While imprisoned, Rian's uncle tells his nephew everything about his jedi Parents and that he has prepared everything for the time Rian discovers his connection to the Force. Eventually Rian is able to escape with the help of his friends but his uncle gets heavily injured and is left behind. Together with his friends, Rian manages to steal the personal starship of the Academy's director and the group starts their search for other Force sensitves going through a list of star systems collected by his uncle over the last years.
Picking a random system from the list, he ends up in the Kr'tal system where he gets caught on Karufr by a couple of Taldryan Dark Jedi. Rian gets handed to Shaz'air who then talks him to join Taldryan and become his apprentice.
Within the Brotherhood
A Brotherhood within a Brotherhood
After he agreed to join Taldryan, Rian is sent to Antei to enroll to the Dark Jedi Brotherhood and begins his basic training, after his return, he gets placed in House Ektrosis. During the following months he started his studies of the Force. At first he focused his studies on historical lessons and thus spent much of his time studying in the Library of Lears. But as he grew more acustomized to his new life he started to focus on interacting with other members of his house and soon after he started to spent more of his time in the actual events of the House outside the dusty rooms of the Library his Summit immediately became very impressed by his achievements and placed him into the Battleteam of Ektrosis, Phoenix Phyle.
Spoils of War
Spoils of War was a Rite of Supremacy initiated by Grand Master Muz Ashen to determine which clan was strong enough to survive the eradication of the creatures on Salas V. This conflict, which occurred in the year 32 ABY involved all of the clans pitted against each other for dominance, and to determine which Clan, or House, would carry out his orders on Salas V. As part of House Ektrosis Battleteam Phoenix Phyle Guardian Rian Aslar took part in nearly all Events where Clan Taldryan was involved, including various Special Operations for which he received a field Promotion to the Rank of a Jedi Hunter.
Rules of Tyranny
Battleteam Phoenix logoSoon after the Events on Salas V where Clan Taldryan was beaten in a fierce Battle by Independent House Revan Rian became the Tetrach of Phoenix Phyle. REPLACE with more detail including the Ceremony of Phoenix.
Encounter on Fearpoint Prison
Fearpoint-station Hideout
Rian finds out that his uncle is still alive and kept imprisoned in a secret First Order prison called Fearpoint Prison. Rian sets out to find his uncle and free him. Fearpoint Prison is a shadow city deep below the surface of Mandalore and will be detailed by the reorked version of my second character fiction.
Burdens of politics
This whole section will receive more details as I get the time to work them all up
After his return to Karufr, Rian gets promoted to the rank of Knight and gets awarded his first real lightsaber from his master and other elders of the Clan. Shortly after attaining his Knighthood, he becomes the Rollmaster of Taldryan.
With the success came the spoils and it didn't took long until Rian was promoted to the ranks of Equites as well as continuously climbing up the ladder as leader within Taldryan. Eventually becoming the Consul of Taldryan and though he knew about the importance of leadership, his more and more felt himself entrapped within the burdens of politics.
After the Dark Crusade and the rise of Grand Master Pravus, Rian stepped down from his position of Consul and became a field agent of the Clan, working closely with the Intelligence Brand of the Taldryan Expansionary Forces.
Behind enemy lines
At some point in 34 ABY, the Taldryan Elders felt a shift in the Force and when rumors spread about tensions between the reigning Grand Master and Clans of the Brotherhood, Rian, among other members of Taldryan was ordered to infiltrate the Dark Council as assistants to the various Councilors. Rian now being a Son of Taldrya himself, agreed without hesitation and applied to the position as Magistrate to the Herald.
Rian fulfilled his duties as Magistrate without difficulty but had to break up with his mission as later that year when former Grand Master and Justicar Jac Cotelin, a Son of Taldrya himself, attacked Karufr and accused all members of Taldryan to have broken with the ways of the Brotherhood by allowing followers of the Lightside into their ranks.
By order of Grand Master Pravus, every member of Taldryan was now claimed a traitor and undesirable.
Taldryan now under the reign of an officer of the Taldryan Expansionary Forces joined the so called Resistance and while their numbers were limited Rian offered himself to become the Quaestor of House Ektrosis.
Powers and Abilities
Lightsabertraining
Like his father, Rian showed an instinctive understanding of how to use a lightsaber, being able to wield the traditional weapon with great precision, instinctively switching between his known Lightsaber-forms to best of the situation.
Though styles like Soresu and Djem So were more practical in the age of blasters, Rian's competitive spirit drove him toward the second of the known Lightsaber forms known as Makashi, the precise and economical style that was designed for maximum results with minimal movements by stressing jabs and thrusts, though he maintained a working knowledge of Soresu as well.
Force Powers
A philosophical warrior, Aslar believes heavily in what is referred to as the "Living Force," a method of focusing on the moment rather than contemplating the Force in all its degrees.
Rian is capable of some telekinetic feats as well and could use the Force to increase his body's endurance and agility, amplifying his speed to such an extent that he could literally disappear from sight in a blur, either to avoid attacks or to strike first with his own. He is also capable of using the Force to perform extensive acrobatics, allowing him to leap huge distances and cover much more ground in a much shorter amount of time.
Though the Taldryanite focused largely on lightsaber combat he was also very skilled in use of the Force. As a member of the Obelisk Order he well trained in use of the Mind Trick, Force persuasion and the more advanced Dominate Mind skill. As instructed by the Elders of Taldryan, Rian eventually learned the ability to use the power of elementalism and through this the ability to not only chill temperatures but even freeze objects to a specific point.
Other Abilities
The Centurion is very well versed in different forms of hand-to-hand combat on which he spends several hours per day training to stay in touch.
He recently adopted skills in the fields of piloting smaller craft such as speeders, starfighters and yachts without the need of an assisting pilot.
Equipment
Apparel
General Attire
While generally wearing his customized Battle suit, Rian is also known to own a variety of other outfits, that he would don depending on the situation and what he was up to represent and range from of light and functional robe with a deep sitting hood that combines different sorts of fabrics and black leather with an protective undervest of armorweave to the traditional Torrent robe, which is made of the finest Zeyd-cloth and lined up with duralloy armor plates, emblazened with the Taldryan crest upon the belt buckle in times when Rian serves as part of the House Summit such as during ceremonies or non-official Summit meetings.
Rian's customized Tenacity Robe
Combat Suit
Upon the fields of battle and while serving Taldryan as Quaestor, Rian is known to wear a multi-layered battle suit constructed from segmented armor plates of different materials such as Stygian-triprismatic polymer, Flex-armor and Armorweave with elements of Zeyd-cloth and Duralloy, allowing it to sustain a great deal of damage while ensuring the Quaestors mobility in combat. The suit itself is a technical masterpiece designed by the hand of and given to Aslar by Grand Master Muz Ashen for his extended service as Quaestor of Taldryan.
Between the breastplates of Stygian-triprismatic polymer a digital life support system readout is visible and gives access to an in-built aqua breather that holds enough compressed oxygen on a back-pack for approximately one hour as well as the microphone and speaker for a communication device. His battle suit sports a hood, pauldrons and a kama made of Armor-weave and has accents of an azure hue.
Underneath his breast armor Aslar wears a reinforced armor mesh flight suit with protective elements of Duralloy around his stomach and Flex-armor on his hips and thigs in order to disperse physical and blast impacts.
Rian wears a utility belt with the Taldryan Crest emblazed on a circular plate above the belt's buckle and holds at several hooks for his two lightsabers and other tools to be attached to the belt. Below this is a bi-color accented cod-piece. Attached on the pauldrons above his shoulders were a pair of dark-colored spikes of different size, with the latter ones being half the size of the front ones. The spikes were another technical masterpiece, being equipt with gyroscopic and pneumatic sensors and dampers that will allow them to retract and bend to protect the Quaestor from harming himself in combat, such as when he rolls over his shoulders or gets knocked down.
Completing this attire Aslar wears a pair of versatile boots that feature diamond-shaped knee-armor sporting the same azure-hued decorations as the rest of his battle suit and a pair of dark colored gloves that allows him to access and adjust the aqua-breather as well as the communication device built into the combat suit.

In 32 ABY, as Guardian, the time has come for the young Taldryanite to choose between a Training-Lightsaber and a regular Armory-lightsaber. The young man chose to use the Armory lightsaber for his first lessons how to use this noble weapon. This Lightsaber accompanied him until he reached his Knighthood.
Rians Knighthood lightsaberAt the end of his Knighting Ceremony Aslar received his second Lightsaber from his Lord Quaestor Shaz’air Taldyra. The lightsaber was crafted from materials entirely forged in the Kr’Tal System and was presented to the Knight as gift for becoming the first Dark Jedi Knight from the new founded House Taldryan. The hilt followed a distinguished design, featuring a solid emitter barrel which had all of the controls mounted onto it including the activator, blade length and intensity control, and blade power adjust. Immediately below was the main body with a choked, ridged handgrip at its end. The pommel was a bronze sphere and housed the power cell reserve cap as well as the belt clip. Additionally Aslar’s new weapon featured some bronze highlights such as the blade-emitter and the crest of House Taldryan on the main body of the hilt.
Even though Rian wielded the weapon successfully in combat, he never truly felt that it was his own. To rectify this, he requested the blueprints of a new lightsaber from the Heralds Office once he was promoted to the rank of Templar. After several month of acquiring the needed parts the Obelisk Templar constructed his 3rd lightsaber. Following the blueprints the weapon featured a considerably more skeletal design as his second lightsaber, featuring an exposed crystal chamber. The emitter shroud which held all of the controls including the activator, blade length and intensity control, and blade power adjust, was like the rest of the hilt sheathed in a somewhat tarnished looking bare-metal. Immediately below the open crystal chamber laid the lightsabers first power cell, a compound power-cell. The pommel was a black-and-silver cylinder and housed the secondary, reserve Diatium power cell.
It was the first time he utilized some of the crystals from his father too. The origins of the emitter-crystal can be traced back to Kashyyyk but must have been treated by his father as the blueish crystal procured a pure amethyst blade, while the two focusing crystals turned out to be one Nextor and one Sapith crystal. After almost 14 hours of meditational fine tuning to fit in the crystals, the weapon was finished.
The newly weapon was now truly Rian’s lightsaber. With the brilliant amethyst blade provided by his father’s crystals, the weapon seemed lighter and moved more readily in the Taldryanite’s hands, unlike all his previous weapons had before; also the Tetrarch noted the weapon's superior optical properties.
