| | |
| '''Janos Stormwind''' is a fallen Jedi with a rather bleak and pessimistic look on life. He started his Jedi training at a hidden commune on Alba-18 and became known as a trouble maker and one who questioned. His greatest achievement as a [[starwars:padawan|Padawan]] was in creating a Serenity Pool to use as an outdoor meditation temple. After the death of his Master, Janos spent a good number of years on the run with his wife. During that time he worked for various people as a bodyguard and lawman and sometimes hit man. More often he assisted his wife by acting as her bodyguard when she was hired on as a healer for various nobles or villages.
| |
| | |
| Often Janos is very melancholy and gets drunk while thinking about his past life. He is married to Lilith Stormwind who is the light to his darkness and keeps him anchored and sane...most of the time.

| === Early Life === | | === Early Life === |
| | Benn was born on Yavin 4 in the year 2 BBY. His father, a [[starwars:y-wing|Y-Wing]] pilot, died in the attack of the first [[starwars:death star|Death Star]]. His mother took him and fled for the [[starwars:outer rim territories|outer rim territories]] and settled on [[starwars:tund|Tund]] when the Rebels abandoned Yavin 4 for [[starwars:hoth|Hoth]]. |
|
| |
|
| Found abandoned with only a medallion wrapped in the blankets he was left in, [[File:Stormwind medallion.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Stormwind Family Medallion]] Janos was raised from infancy in a village on [[starwars:Alba-16|Alba-16]]. His upbringing was marred some what by the thick accents the locals all had and as a result Janos still speaks with a thick brogue.
| | His mother noticed early on that he had a connection to the Force. She did her best to teach him control and guide his upbringing. As he aged, she realized she would have to find someone to help teach Benn. Someone that would teach right from wrong. More importantly, someone that would train him in the ways of the Force. It was doubtful Tund would have what they needed. |
|
| |
|
| Around the age of 5 or 6, it was discovered he was very Force sensitive and so he was taken to a hidden commune. There he was trained as a Jedi by a Miralukan Jedi Master C'Lacntha and a human Jedi Knight Master Thuallan who had both fled the Jedi Purge. During his training it was discovered he had a strong but wild and unfocused connection to the Force. Because of his inability to control his emotions, he spent his youth in constant battle with his peers and Masters.
| | ===Adolescent/adult years=== |
|
| |
|
| He was taught basic Jedi training along with seven or eight other students by Jedi Master C’Lacntha. Studies included enhancing his Force abilities, martial arts, use of any tool as a weapon, reading and writing and farming. Janos often found himself in trouble for not paying attention, questioning the Jedi code and for a general lazy attitude towards study. Knight Thuallan taught Lightsaber skills. Janos’ build made it difficult for him to become graceful and fluid when fighting, but he learned early on to use his weight to power through attacks and fight dirty if need be.
| | Benn and his mother became farmers in the small community of humans that lived on Tund. It was during this time Benn discovered his love for the land and for cooking. Farming taught him the benefits of fresh produce and using fresh ingredients for his cooking. |
|
| |
|
| Janos spent the first 18 or 19 years training and learning the ways of the Force and was considered an average Padawan learner by his masters when it came to being a pure Jedi. He did do well with his various weapons and martial arts skills though. Often, to the dismay of his masters, he would throw a punch or kick his opponent in the crotch. This often surprised his adversaries as they did not expect a Jedi to "fight dirty". As a result of his unorthodox fighting, constant failures, ability to to focus and anger that kept him from completing the many of the trials set out for him by his masters. He was often times punished and forced to practice the combat forms he was taught of Broken Gate until he collapsed from exhaustion. As a result his physical form strengthened and he soon was able to fight at a very high level. He also found that he excelled at tasks that allowed him to work alone. His greatest feat as a Padawan was to create a Force focusing Serenity Pool. Janos also found that he was quit good at piloting speeder bikes as well as working with both blunt and edged weapons.
| | It was also during this time Benn became a voracious reader. Benn read any and everything he could find. Histories, sciences, literature, sports, crime, and anything to do with cooking. Sadly the libraries on Tund did not offer much in the way of Jedi teachings. |
|
| |
|
| He created his lightsaber when he was 19 or 20 and it had a dark blue blade. After it's creation Janos was sent off planet to track down a female healer reputed to have strong Force abilities as a test of his new found status as a Senior Padawan. He eventually tracked down a female by the name of Lilith O'Mally and although they initially did not get along, the two eventually learned to get on well enough not to fight with each other in public. In fact after awhile the two became good friends and eventually lovers.
| | Benn's mother died when he was 17 standard years old. After a respectful time of grieving, he set out on a quest for more knowledge. |
|
| |
|
| == Falling into the Dark ==
| | Working as a cook or freight handler, Benn hopped star cruisers for different planets. He spent time on [[starwars:oseonvii|OseonVII]] reading any and everything about the Force. It wasn't much. |
|
| |
|
| The arrival of Lilith to the commune where he lived caused his life to become more tumultuous. Janos found Lilith to be a calming influence and soon the two of them became fast friends. Her calming abilities and caring nature affected Janos and soon he was able focus much more clearly.
| | He dud learn the popular cooking styles though and was asked to be the chef for a local magistrate after winning a cooking competition. Ben spent a couple of years here and a couple of years there. Eventually, two or three other planets later, he eventually ended up on [[starwars:coruscant|Coruscant]]. |
|
| |
|
| As she became more adept with her lightsaber he became more adept controlling the Force. They found that their sword play was unmatched when the fought side by side. His strong offense and brutal style backed by her more graceful defense and healing abilities. However the drawback was their individual fighting styles suffered.
| | He took up residence at the ground level in an attempt to survive. Violating numerous laws, he snuck into the ruins of the [[starwars:Jedi Temple|Jedi Temple]]. There was little left in the way of knowledge there. Benn discovered that the great library, and the black market had much more information, books, data cubes, and anything else, he could find. Though the latter required him to have to perform some rater unsavory actions in order to pay for some of the requested items. |
|
| |
|
| The conflicting issues with the Code of the Jedi and his growing love for Lilith began to cause issue with the other students and his masters. Janos and Lilith soon were in the throws of an illicit love affair. When Janos was 23 years old, he and Lilith finally caught together by one of Janos’ few "friends", a Twi'lek named Ch’Cadick who reported them to Master C’Lacntha. Master C’Lacntha confronted Janos and Lilith as they fled the commune.
| | He learned the different ways of using his Force abilities, though he had many mishaps and received little information on techniques. He did find information on different sword styles and meditation techniques though, and was soon proficient in the style of fighting called Shii-Cho. |
|
| |
|
| A fierce battle ensued and during the duel, the crystal in Janos' lightsaber fractured causing it to become unstable. Janos flung the saber away as it went critical and the resulting explosion caused Master C’Lacntha to falter. The momentary loss of focus allowed Janos to attack with his vibroknife and he plunged it into the heart of his former master.
| | Using simple metal rods, Benn discovered his strength allowed him to hammer his opponents into submission. He often wondered if he had lightsaber, if it would be as effective as the rod was. He also knew from the welts and bruising on his legs and torso that he needed to learn to defend himself better. |
|
| |
|
| Janos then claimed Master C’Lacntha's lightsaber for his own and watched in horror as the bright blue-white blade shifted in color to a deep indigo purple from the power of the dark side of the Force coursing through Janos into the saber. Janos and Lilith fled into the jungles and eventually made their way off planet.
| | ===Run in with a Sith and coming to New Tython=== |
|
| |
|
| == On the run ==
| | It was during his time on Coruscant that Benn was approached by a member of the Sith. This Master could see the potential in the young man, and he relished the possibility of turning such a naïve Force user. Teasing Benn with the wonders of the Brotherhood, he convinced the young and aspiring Jedi want to be, to go to a planet known as [[New Tython]]. Home of a clan of like minded thinkers, ones that believed in the Light side of the Force. There he would be trained properly, and find the answers he had been searching for. |
|
| |
|
| After Janos murdered C'Lacntha and stole his lightsaber, Janos and Lilith fled Alba-16 for the core worlds hoping to lose themselves. They traveled to numerous worlds where they would find menial jobs. Janos usually doing some type of fighting or security and Lilith doing healing. Many times Janos acted as Lilith's bodyguard when she was working as a healer for a noble or an unsavory leader.
| | In the year 33 ABY Benn turned 29 years old and he celebrated his life day by arriving on New Tython. |
|
| |
|
| In 25 ABY they ended up on [[starwars:taris|Taris]], Lilith's home planet. There the two of them found an out of the way village and began assisting the native population and the humans. Healing and keeping the village safe from the animal life or raiders. Lilith taught Janos grounding and focusing techniques which allowed him to become much more capable in controlling the Force and his anger. As well as how to channel his emotions towards powering his Force based attacks.
| | Quiet and reserved Benn felt very out if place around many younger padawans and Jedi. Thankfully his eagerness to learn impressed his teachers. His use of the training saber and understanding of the Schii-Cho soon showed his strengths and weaknesses. Eventually he was able to defend himself. With the records, books, and datacrons available his understanding in the ways of the Force expanded immensely. Aside from his passion for cooking, Benn discovered he had a knack for healing and simple medical procedures. |
|
| |
|
| Once word got out of Lilith's abilities, she was called to other villages to assist the healers there as well as off planet. Sometimes Janos accompanied her and sometimes he didn't. It was during her away times that Janos began drinking heavily and started falling into a dark place. He soon discovered he was unable to function without Lilith at his side.
| | He went on many diplomatic missions, with different Jedi Masters to learn the craft. And while he became quite good at being a diplomat, he was better known as a chef. Discovering food often would be welcome, Benn would cook up meals for the different diplomats to eat as they discussed treaties. |
|
| |
|
| Lilith soon picked up on her husbands weakness and started teaching him about positive self image as well as providing an herb that balanced out his mood. She had him learn to control his drinking, but didn't stop it completely. Her biggest issue with her husband's "darkness" was when he would take on "hits" for some unsavory people.
| | The Clan leaders and Jedi Masters decided it was time for Benn to take his final test. Create his own [[lightsaber]]. Benn designed a long shafted saber that fit his grip and then meditated on the Kyber crystal he had retrieved. |
|
| |
|
| She despaired at his favorite tactic of cloaking himself using the Force and to attack his target from behind, stabbing them with his lightsaber or vibroknife in the spine or simply slitting the throat. This particular style of dishonorable fighting has been an issue between the two of them and often causes strife in their relationship.
| | Imbuing it with his love for the earth and trees, his passion for cooking, his desire for knowledge and most of all his wish for peace. The crystal became a rich, vibrant green color. |

| After his arrival on the moon of [[Lyspair]], Janos found himself somewhat adrift. He began studying different courses at the [[Shadow Academy]] and was soon at home. He contacted his wife and asked her to join him thinking this would be good for both of them to finally finish what they started all those years ago. Janos has been somewhat unorganized in his approach trying different courses and different things. With the destruction of Lyspar, the Shadow Academy moved to the '''VSDII [[Paladin]]''', a [[starwars:Victory II-class Star Destroyer|Victory II-class Star Destroyer]], where the two of them had a suite together. So far he hasn't found any one thing he excels in. He recently promoted to the rank of [[JM3|Hunter]] and has been focusing more on his writing than school work. He has found that he enjoys many of the competitions as well. Under the tutelage of his master and other members of [[Clan Naga Sadow]] Janos has thrived and eventually was [[JM4|knight]]ed in a beautiful ceremony. Soon after his knighting, and during the strife between the [[Grand Master]] and Clan Naga Sadow, Janos realized he was getting much to old to be throwing himself into battle. He chose to become someone who could be relied upon to fight alone and take care of difficult tasks with minimal supervision or assistance. He began training in the ways of stealth and subterfuge to become an assassin and saboteur.
| |
| With the help of his master and his master's wife [[Tasha'Vel Versea]], Janos has started to become quite adept in being a "shadow". Janos also opted to become a member of the elite [[Battleteam]], [[Devil's Shroud]] for a short while but found the lack of leadership there to cause him issue, so he left the group.

| |
| At some point during his training to become a Shadow, Master Bentre and his wife [[File:Versea-Stormwind Crest.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Versea-Stormwind Crest]]Tasha'Vel made the decision to bring both Janos and Lilith into the Versea family. In a very formalized ceremony both Janos and Lilith received the mark of the family in the form of a brand and a proper Twi'lek name. Lilith received her mark from Tasha'Vel and Janos received his from his master. Janos decided to make his new name his first name and hyphenated his last name. He also redesigned his family crest to reflect his becoming part of House Versea.

| | |
| Unbeknownst to Firith, as he was being trained to be a Shadow he was also being trained to become one of the elite [[Black Guard]] bodyguards for [[Tasha'Vel Versea]], [[Quaestor]] of House [[Marka Ragnos]]. Firith'rar was promoted to the post of Black Guard after recovering a [[Sith]] [[codex]] that had been stolen from the Versea estates. However, as a result of the quest/test given to him to obtain the rank, Firith has been corrupted by the evil in the item he recovered. The corrupting, evil magic of the codex caused the slow and excruciatingly painful breakdown of tissue of Firith's hand and forearm as well as corrupting his soul. As a result he had the option of losing his hand and forearm and eventually his life to the Darkness that was slowly and completely consuming him or having it diffused with enough of the Light side to make him a Dark Jedi. After a discussion with his wife he opted to become a Dark Jedi, with the hopes that she would be able to bring him back to being a Gray Jedi eventually.[[File:Firith Tats.jpg|thumb|left|200px|The brand of the CNS Black Guard]]

'== Character History ==
Early Life
Benn was born on Yavin 4 in the year 2 BBY. His father, a Y-Wing pilot, died in the attack of the first Death Star. His mother took him and fled for the outer rim territories and settled on Tund when the Rebels abandoned Yavin 4 for Hoth.
His mother noticed early on that he had a connection to the Force. She did her best to teach him control and guide his upbringing. As he aged, she realized she would have to find someone to help teach Benn. Someone that would teach right from wrong. More importantly, someone that would train him in the ways of the Force.
