To underestimate me Arconan, is to turn your back on death itself. Xathia to Juda

Character History

Peaceful Times

On Omwat in 7 ABY, Xathia was born as Nyx Quatremaine to a light Jedi father and ordinary mother. Seventh of seven children, she was treated strictly due to her strange brightly coloured eyes which was rumoured to be the result of an affair or rape from the raid of the light Jedi which had occurred about ten months before the girl’s birth. Her light hair was never cut, and reached her waist by the time she turned four. Though until her fourth birthday, her father was away in service for the Council, and upon his return home, she was locked away in the basement.

Her skin severely paled over the next year as her father did not believe that she was his offspring and was often subjected to having to watch her mother being beaten in front of her, scarring the young mind that this was the idea of love.

When she was let out of the basement during the day times at the age of five, she was willing to be shaped into the ideal daughter that her father wanted her to be and would usually do all the house chores that no one else would do just to try and please him. For the next two years, her life had no difference as her father refused to let her go to school as his opinion of Nyx was that she was only gutter worthy material.

After her eldest sister and brother had worked together and argued against their father’s decision to keep Nyx housebound, she was enrolled into the local school. She soon found herself in scuffles as she had never experienced species other then humans and often had her attention wandering to staring at the expanded culture, though she would not talk easily as she was not use to beings. Her teachers often despaired at her lack of attention, though she soon demonstrated strong Force ties and forced others away from her. Her sole friend was an Omwati by the name of Bryna for her time spent at the school. Her Force usage against those who teased and bullied her kept other children away from her.

Her free time was spent in junk yards to keep out of her father’s wrath which had grown into a cold hatred as the rumour was truth in his mind and his determination to hurt Nyx grew with each passing day as he was drowning in his addictions to andris spice and alcohol. She soon befriended the owner of the junk yard, Chi'thiac, who taught her how to create droids and kept her droid projects secret and known to anyone who stumbled over them as his.

Turmoil Erupts

Upon turning thirteen, the young and blossoming girl soon tired of evading her abusive and controlling father. Her siblings had all conformed to his ideals, and she had seen their vibrant, individual characters merge into one huge bland one. Her confrontation towards the head of the family was violent as punches and objects were thrown amongst the vivid language used and also the discovery of Nyx’s Dark Force came out as she tried to kill her father.

She was discarded onto the dusty streets with few belongings. Her first escape was to the junk yard where she finished the latest protocol K-3P0 droid, who was to become her faithful companion, Kai. However, hours after the droid had been tested and properly finished; the cabin was raided for the arrest of Chi'thiac. Nyx and Kai quietly escaped through a broken side panel and ran towards the alleys of the city.

Settled Status

Nyx stumbled across the local group of street dwellers, many of whom were older then her. Although her reluctance to approach them, she knew of nowhere else to go. One particular teenage male took her under his wing and took care of her whilst she learnt the ways of the street life. Nyx soon became a main focus of the group as she kept unwanted beings away with the use of the Force. One of the eldest members of the group soon decided to rename the young girl Xathia, to shed her of the outside life she had and to prove she was now one of them.

A few weeks after Xathia had been induced into the group, a few of them were lurking around the local weaponry market. Stalls upon stalls of glistening metal blades lit up the eyes of them all. Her two companions were talking to the stall owner, making sure his back was turned as Xathia chose her dagger of choice and swiftly stole the custom made blade before dashing back to the street dweller’s alleyway. She soon learnt to fight and defend herself under the training and supervision of the elder members.

One particular battle with the head of the group at the age of fifteen left Xathia with a scar on her left cheek and also forced her to run away from the group with Kai. This battle left Xathia believing that love was not something to want.

Discovery of the Brotherhood

Xathia’s wanderings to nearby cities took over six months as she passed her sixteen birthday. The scar on her face was harsh and meant her face would usually be cloaked or covered to avoid other beings staring at her when all she wanted was to blend away into the crowds. Her small thieving went unnoticed as she stole to survive whilst travelling. Her last gem that was stolen was a standard Krath War Blade, which she was caught doing but managed to hide away.

Unknown to the young human, she was followed by a member of the brotherhood who had watched her use of the Dark Force to conceal herself from her chasers. His quiet talking and easing her into the idea of joining was a somewhat lengthy process of two months, at which she stayed in his accommodation and soon found herself agreeing to it.

She kept her name of Xathia, but adopted the stranger’s surname of dan Locut’Hal.
