"I have seen to many friends die to loose another"

― Tisto to Bell

Tisto was a Jedi Ranger and member of the Battle Team Knights of Allusis. Born on Nar Shaddaa, Tisto never had a easy life, becoming orphaned at the age of ten and becoming a swoop gang member just to survive. While having the Force helped him live longer than he should have it was a natural talent for swoops that got him noticed. Becoming one of the top members of the Nameless swoop gang, and eventually its leader, Tisto moved the gang to New Tython and joined the Jedi. He would later end up surviving the loss of New Tython and participating in the war of Florrum.

Relationships and Friendships

"I will not abandon anyone, ever."

― Tisto to Lucias

Tisto has grown up as a gang member and recently leader.As a result he has interacted with numerous people, developing strong bonds.

Bell

"You just killed him..."

― A Shocked Bell to Tisto

Lucia

"Get out of here you stupid Kiffar."

― Lucia to Tisto

Lucia was a Twi'lek mechanic, and one of the most influential people in Tisto's life. She was the child of the current gang leader when Tisto found his way into the Nameless at the age of ten. The two did not get a long well, due to Tisto's jealousy of her still having family. She returned his hatred, jealous that the other kids in the gang were viewing him as a possible leader as opposed too her. While her father did not approve of his two best future official members feuding, he was glad to see that the kids in the Nameless were making decisions on their own. Their rivalry would continue for years, both of them maturing to the age of fourteen. At this point Tisto was an official member of the gang, and one of the main racers, showing a natural talent for piloting and learning directly from the gang leader while Lucia was learning advanced mechanics and bike building. However Lucia wouldn't fix Tisto's bike, nor would he ask her too, despite her skill.

During this year the Nameless went to war with a rival swoop gang who had targeted the kids in the gang. Due to being the daughter of the gang leader, Lucia was targeted. In the battle that ensued Tisto flew in, putting himself ad his bike between several thermal detonators and Lucia. He had no idea why he did it at the time, and nearly died with the explosion tearing through his bike and his yellow and black chest piece. He was left in a coma for several months, living in a questionably obtained bacta tank. Moved by his sacrifice and hoping to make it up to him, Lucia built him a custom bike for when he got out of the pod as a peace offering. Moved by the offering, and possibly puberty, Tisto accepted the peace offering and made a flustered attempt at friendship.

Over time they developed a strong relationship, working together to win many races. When Tisto won a two holocrons and a scratched Kyber Crystal in a race at the age of seventeen the two hit another moving point. By this point Tisto had already begun developing his Force abilities, resulting in neither of them being shocked by the opening of the holocrons. However what was in them shocked them, as they included instructions for building a lightsaber in one, while the other contained information of a Lightsaber Form known as Balanth. The two build the weapon together, growing closer as they did, ending the building with a kiss. The two would become intimate from there, and later became almost inseparable. This was despite Tisto's races and practice sessions to learn how to use the weapon they built together.

Near the end of 30 ABY marked the beginning of a gang war against a group of slavers whose name was lost in Tisto's memory as well as being lost to history. At one point the Nameless were pushed out of their territory with Tisto in another battlefield when she was taken on to one of the slaving groups ships. Despite being warned not to, Tisto went off on his own to save her, participating in his first out numbered battle with nothing but the Force and his weapon. While he won, their escape was difficult due to neither of them knowing exactly how to pilot the slave carrier, and being shot down. After surviving all of this Lucia took the time too sit with the lightsaber in hand while Tisto slept, using it as a recorder, hoping too leave Tisto last words in case she ever died. She understood his fear of using Psychometry, and hoped that these 'recording' sessions would go unnoticed until either she helped him get over that fear or, in the event of her death, someone else did. The two would go on for several more years until her death on New Tython during the Battle for Tanduran, when she was pulled away from the group that had formed. Tisto has yet too fully recover from her death and has not yet learned about the messages in his lightsabers past.

Personality

Tisto is a selfless, though harsh, individual who only wants to protect those closest to him. He has shown time and time again that he is unaffected by things such as power, glory, and even personal freedoms so long as his friends and family are safe. He is far from honest, though will often put what he believes is best for others first, even if he is wrong.

He is used to a gang like structure, and tends to respect that when it comes to dealing with leaders. He respects those in charge of him, but may not always agree with them. He also has a tendency to go off and do things on his own if he can not get his bosses to see what he can. This often makes him seem seem argumentative and prone to going AWOL despite all his attempts being to protect everyone. This structure also has helped him develop a heavy amount of self discipline and gang like honor.

Appearance

Physical Description

His redish brown hair marks he is not a pure Kiffar, even though the human in his family was his Great Great grandmother. His qukuuf tattoo is a green crescent running from his left jaw to the top of his nose to his right jaw. He is broad shouldered, yet thin, and carries himself lightly. He has several small scars across his arms and face from several racing accidents. He has hazel green eyes, which are often never seen. Unlike most Kiffar males, he is not muscular, being leaner, and seems more to fit into the role of a artist or racer than the warrior he often is. Unlike his lean built his eyes are harsh and seem to pierce the souls of those he examines. On the rare occasions when he takes off his jacket, one can see two long, but perfectly healed scars, run from his shoulders down his back from an explosion he was in when he was younger.

Clothing

Tisto is mostly seen in his racing gear, a black armorweave jacket, with blue and yellow armored pants with a look similar to mandalorian armor, and a red undershirt. His racing jacket has several patches on it, due to his activity working with several groups. His wrist laser, polished to a shine, is never not worn on his right arm. His lightsaber hangs from his waist. .

Skills/Training/Combat

Tisto was an experienced combatant. A veteran of a dozen gang wars, the Battle of Tanduran, and the war on Florrum, he has had many battles to hone his particular skills. As a kid he was trained in blasters, hand to hand, and mechanics in the Nameless, and as he grew older became more and more of the face of the Nameless in battle. Upon building his lightsaber with the help of Lucia, he began to train with it, adding it into his fighting style.

Combat

Tisto was originally trained in Corellian kickboxing by his father, and after wandering Nar Shaddaa from the ages of five to seven got in lots of practice with the basics of it. When he arrived in the swoop gang the Nameless he was placed under the tutelage of Xiphos, a former teacher of Corellian kickboxing and Chhrlarn a Wookie bodyguard. The two trained him over the years to hold his own in a fist fight, and lead him to reach the lower levels of Corellian kickboxing.

After building his lightsaber, Tisto began to practice with Chhrlarn to develope his saber skills. While he was limited to just the basics, with Chhrlarns help, he was able to combine his lightsaber skill with his martial arts and create his own unique fighting style. While many of the more advanced form pose challenges to Tisto do to him not knowing how to counter the advanced moves, he has managed to push through with unpredictability and a near perfection of the basics.

Piloting

Tisto is a natural born pilot, exhibiting quick reflexes and manual dexterity at a young age. When he joined the Nameless he flew swoops around with ease,though was held back from serious races due to his age. As he got older he entered serious Swoop races, drawing the attention of the Trade Spine League who needed a pilot. With them he learned to fly both transports and fighters running missions for them. He did leave their organization to join back up with his gang after two years, and wasn’t able to practice with ships for a long time.

Upon arriving on New Tython and joining the Jedi Tisto began to pilot once more, and became one of the top pilots in Hoth. Despite this he has not joined a squadron. He flew in notable moments, like the War on Florrum, his journey to Florrum, and in his House Versus House Training matches.
