History
Youth
Born on Coruscant in a family of politicians. His father worked as a diplomat and as a negotiator for the Clone armies later during the Clone Wars, his mother was a shield maiden of Senator Lexi Dio, a Loyalist Senator close to the office of Supreme Chancellor Palpatine, who represented the world of Uyter. As a baby Tyren was taken away from home into the Jedi Temple. There he trained all his youth to the ways of the Force and the life of a Jedi. He was taught great discipline and patience yet the effects of his youth and the naive mind he had left him confused by the teaching of the Dark Side.
Teen Years
During the final days of the Republic, when Vader destroyed the Temple, Tyren was away on the field, fighting the War in the Outer Rim on planet Murkhana in the search for General Greivous. Fortunatly for him he wasn`t in the midst of battle when Palpatine executed Order 66 so he was able to defeat the troopers who turned against him. Left alone on the planet and quite sure the troops turned against his master Saras Loorne and the other Jedi Tyren tried to find ways to escape. Somehow he managed to take a transport from a low-guarded troop facility and escape the planet. Tyren in himself was always on the border between Light and Dark, and the day would come when one of the two would prevail.
Adult
After the Great Jedi Purge he hid on the planet Byss. After 34 years the loneliness of his home drove him near-mad. On the same day he went to the nearest village he could find in search of company but stories of a "madman from the mountains" spread like a plague throughout the land. This angered Tyren very, he killed every villager he could find therefore turning to the Dark path forever. He went on, killing every being he could find, until one day a Rogue Jedi who hid on Byss came to find Tyren and end his senseless onslaught of innocents. They dueled and Tyren fought bravely and hard but the Jedi was too much. In an instant the Jedi cut Tyren`s lightsaber in half rendering it useless. At the moment Tyren thought he would see his death another option flew through his mind, he focused on the Force and with great effort and energy struck the Jedi with a pure lightning bolt. The Jedi was unprepared for the attack and had no way to defend himself, he was dead. Although the shear enormity of Force that he used fatigued him greatly Tyren somehow found an X-wing and flew out of Byss. Somewhere in hyperspace he passed out only to wake up in a bacta tank on The Sword's Sheath, a Gladius controlled battle station in the Yridia system. There he was accepted, he was helped and there he swore to help the Dark Brotherhood destroy the Jedi.
Nightmares
Tyren is still haunted by evil dreams of a life unknown to him. In the dreams he sees a woman of great beauty covered in blood, a pod of sorts filled with people and a great explosion in space. The dreams are the same, always the same beginning and ending. This is Tyren`s dream:
"Opening his eyes he saw people cuddled inside a small ejector pod, escaping from whatever ill fate may happen to them. A woman in what once used to be a white dress, now covered in blood and dirt, sat oposit to him, holding his hand, uttering unknown words, silent as the night. A huge bang hit the pod and it started to shake violently. As Tyren looked out the view port he saw an explosion, what of he had no idea but he saw the woman erupt into tears uttering yet again unknown words and soon his view was blurred, dimming until it turned black. When next he opened his eyes he saw a boy, a child with brownish hair and green eyes playing in the garden. Then another child, another boy joined him. The other boy was the same as the first. Twin brothers they were."
Then all went blank.
Tyren tried to find the meaning of this dream deep inside him, even with his old teacher, The Elder Dragon Pilgrim, but nothing gave results so Tyren is condemned to live with his nightmares.
History in Dark Jedi Brotherhood
File:Tyrennew.jpgRyuujin`s current look
Tarentum
"Welcome to The Sword's Sheath!" Frosty Romanae said in his low Deshade voice.
"Thank you!" Tyren replied.
"You will be assigned your own quarters, where you can meditate and explore your potential and a flight deck for your X-wing where you can inspect your craft whenever you wish."
"Fine by me."
"You are one of us now, one of our brothers and as such we will help you achieve your highest potential. Welcome to Gladius of Tarentum, brother."
During his stay in Gladius, Tyren met a lot of people who were willing to help him and he has flourished. There he was accepted and he accepted in turn. In his short, but usefull stay in Tarentum, Tyren was assigned to Dox Romanae, than a Dark Jedi Knight, who thought Tyren a lot about the Brotherhood and its ways. Even more did Zin learn from Dox`s brother Frosty who, from the very first day, helped Tyren advance through the ranks. Once Tyren became a Guardian he left Tarentum and the Dark Jedi Brotherhood for a year. This period in his life is called "The Pilgrimage"
The Pilgrimage
File:Pilgirmage.jpg
During his time away from the Brotherhood and its affairs Tyren Zin traveled the galaxy in search of "another self". From the wasted of Tattooine to the home of the Witches of Dathomyr he traveled to find his new self. In the Brotherhood he was becoming reckless, disobedient and for that he left, to change. So he did. Not long into his journey Tyren found an old Pilgrim, The Dragon pilgrim they called him, on an out-of-the-way world in the Outer Rim, he was the last of his order. He told Tyren that long ago there was a legend of a great dragon, lord of the universe, who ruled all under his strong grip. The Dragon monks praised this ancient deity. They were not evil, nor were they good, they tended to stay in the balance, attack only if threatened, defend when needed, never to look at the petty affairs of little people, never to engage in someone else's doings. Tyren found what he was looking for, a new beginning. He stayed with the old man and learned from his wisdom. For twelve months he learned, drawing every single word from the old man, soon the day would come when he would show his potential.
As a final test of what he learned, Tyren was to defeat a Kryatt dragon, a race of giant lizards that lived on the planet. Tyren meditated for two full days, gathering his strength for the upcoming ordeal, fianlly he was ready. The battle lasted, what for Tyren seemed an eternity, but in the end he succeeded in his goal, the lizard was exhausted. With the last string of strength Tyren took his katana blade jumped high above the lizards head and pierced the dragons skull silencing it forever. "Ryuujin", The Dragon, The Dragon Pilgrim, thats the name he obtained after his battle. He stayed with the old man until his end. With the old mans death Tyren had nothing to look for on the planet, he left and finding this inner peace, a new self, a new name he returned to the Brotherhood.
The return of the Dragon
When returning to the Brotherhood, Ryuujin did not go back to Tarentum but instead eager to learn about other clans came to House Exar Kun of Clan Plagueis. In hopes of a new beggining and the continuing of his training he asked for a master. Sith Battlelord Salth Khan replied to the request and took Tyren under his wing. Hoping to learn more from his new master Ryuujin accepted and thus became one of the brothers again...
Markings
The Dragon tattoo
File:Tattoo.jpgRyuujin`s Dragon tattoo
Covering his whole back, neck to hips, and his arms and legs is a tattoo of a dragon, representing much-less the same thing as the banner, the dragon spirit and the serenity of the soul.
It was drawn by the Elder Dragon pilgrim via ancient methods. Various plants give nectar that can be used as paint. This "paint" is sucked in by the skin and stays there forever. It cannot be washed away only medically removed with the skin.
Possesions
The banner
On the warbanner Ryuujin has in the Brotherhood the dragon figure represents the Great dragon, the text is written in a forgotten tongue:
"Fear the Great Dragon. Keeper of The balance. Creator of all."
"Ryuujin noroi"
File:Ryuujinnoroi.jpgRyuujin`s katana
The Ryuujin noroi is a katana sword created by Tyren himself on his Pilgrimage, it has ancient runes inscribed on the blade that write "Spirit of a dragon". It was alchemicaly treated by his teacher, the elder Dragon Pilgrim, so that the runes glow a feint yellow at all times. It also has the ability to withstand high pressure and breaking force like rocks or other metallic objects. Against a lightsaber it is, a most weapons, useless. It is an elegant weapon of choice. It represents the warrior in every soul. For Ryuujin its something more, it is a bridge to his soul, to his inner self. In it`s reflections he can see the battle inside him swirl and with its help he can remain at peace in any moment.
(The name means: Dragon curse)

Faith
Ryuujinshuukyou
This is a religion very little known to the common folk of the galaxy. It literally means Dragon religion or Dragon faith. It began aprox 3000 y. BBY when a Force sensitive monk from the Outer rim started preaching of an ancient dragon that creates, guides and controls the universe with a metal fist. After years of preaching and being banished from one planet to the other, it finally came to pass that a small band of people believed him and followed in his tracks. The religion has not grown much nor did its influence but its order of monks was a powerful yet concealed force. To this day only one is left, Tyren "Ryuujin" Zin.
