True past of Tyren Atema

Banner of the Atema Family

The Atema Family

Years after the creation of the Empire, in a remote place on planet Dantooine, two Jedi survived the Empirial slaughter. One with the name of Jerreth Atema, a former Jedi Knight and a survivor of “Order 66” and Ashira Islana, another former Jedi.

The two Jedi met in a Transport Freighter during the Jedi Purge, they were on route to Dantooine, where they thought a small order of Jedi still survived. However, when they arrived on the planet all they found as a destroyed enclave, with nothing left but only a few survivors. Holding onto themselves, the two Jedi fell in love as they rebuild the enclave into a cavern nearby, with the help of a CorSec agent who fled the Empire as well. Calling it ‘The Sanctuary’, the newly built conclave meant to be a haven to all who wished to flee from the Empire.

After half a year of rebuilding the two Jedi married, and so the Atema family was born. They were one of the first Jedi to marry during the Jedi Purge, and became a symbol of hope to the people of Dantooine, hope that the Empirial reign will come to an end soon.

The Sanctuary itself existed a better part of the Emperors reign. The CorSec agent, who aided the two Jedi in rebuilding the conclave, was affiliated with the Old Republic and thus the Order of the Jedi.

Birth of twins

After the two Jedi gotten married Ashira got pregnant, and nine months later gave birth to twins. Two boys who each had their own feats from the day they were born. The names of the boys were Ylith Atema and Tyren Atema.

The two boys, the older Ylith and the younger Tyren, were born in a peaceful environment their parents and the other residents created. Though they were twins the two boys had differences their parents felt all too well. While Tyren was a quiet boy, Ylith was always the active one, always on adventure and looking for clues to find old Jedi relics even when he was a small boy.

Brothers in blood

Ylith and Tyren both grew up in a force active environment, though the Empire was always around the corner, the Sanctuary remained hidden. The two brothers became best friends and added to each other what the other lacked.

Even though Ylith was a good boy, their parents did sense a natural Dark Side aura around him, which worried them. They hoped to someday make him a Jedi and a peon of good. Ylith is very strong built while Tyren was better in minor force abilities and dexterous feats. Tyren was very spiritual for his age. Already meditating and questioning life in general. His intellect was his strong side, and his everlasting will to show off the small force powers he had made Ylith angry most of the time. But in the end, the two boys could go against any hardship as long as they worked together.

Past Devided

They eventually lived there for 4 years. In the same year, three years after the Battle of Yavin, the Empire discovered the Sanctuary and launched a small assault on the former conclave, destroying it. The families from the sanctuary, who were drawn to the Sanctuary to flee from the Empire over the years, tried to escape in an old transport that brought the Jedi to the planets years ago, but the force of Tie-fighters was too much for the battered ship. The ship was destroyed not long after leaving Dantooine’s atmosphere. The Atema family got separated in the outbreak of paranoia and panic that was unleashed by the ships residents upon its imminent destruction.

Ylith ended up with his father, Tyren with the mother. They escaped in different escape pods. When all seemed fine and well an explosion of one of the other pods ruptured their hope. Thinking that the other part of the family was killed in the blast the Atemas lost hope for a family reunion ever to occur. Ylith and his father eventually ended at the planet of Byss, while Tyren ended up on the planet Coruscant with his mother to both start separate lives, eventually forgetting their past.

Coruscant

The most unobvious place for a Jedi to go hide was Coruscant, every single Jedi in the galaxy knew that, Ashira however did just that. She fled to Coruscant with Tyren under her wing. They hid in the city slums below the shroud of smog. She was certain that beeing near the enemy would keep them out of harms way since the last place to look for Jedi would be Coruscant. She was dead wrong and she payed it with her life. One night a squad of stormtroopers came into Ashiras sanctuary killing her in her sleep. Of Tyren however they found no sign. He had ran of that night to his friends house against the wishes of his mother. That childish decision saved his life. He was raised by Jatarra Dumash for the rest of his life on Coruscant. Jatarra was a shop keeper in the slums, very well known to the populace, and thus Tyren lived his life on.

Eden

When Tyren was a teenager Jatarra died of a desease that swept the slums lika plague. Tyren fled of world to a distant planet in the Outer rim, Eden. There he lived a solitairy life, expanding his view of the Force. He never learned to properly use it but still he had a knack for the unnatural. One day Tyren climbed a steep cliff in search of food. Finding a birds nest he took the eggs, unbeknownst of the nest`s owner. When the bird returned it attacked Tyren so suddenly that it left him out of balance and grip. Tyren fell hitting the ground with such force tat he was left unconcious instantly. When he woke up he could remeber none of his true past but instead thought himself to be older and wiser. The lonlyness of his outoftheway home left him mad. One 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. 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 his way to a village, tooka mount and headed off. Days later he found an old Rebel base and an X-wing in it. He and flew out of Eden. 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.

History in The Dark Jedi Brotherhood

Tarentum

Gladius

"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

Plagueis

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....

Revelations

The day has barely begun and Tyren already walked through the Halls of Antei, searching for a room to train in. As he passed through the hallways looking into each room he passed by for a spot, he saw that all were taken by Apprentices, Acolytes and other lower ranked Journeymen.

As he passed one of the open rooms he saw a familiar figure twirling his sword around. It seem as if the blade was his dance partner and it knew his every move. Tyren entered the room and approached silently.

Ylith, or more recently known as Draken Korin, moved his bluish blade over his head and aimed at the Dark Jedi who just entered his room. Unsheathing his Noroi with fast reflexes Tyren blocked the hit, but was thrown back a few feet by the impact of the blow, his Katana still flickering in blue flames.

„Since when does a Guardian not knock before entering the sparring ground of a Sith Warrior?“ Draken said while lowering his blade, watching his opponent. „Well, all the other booths were taken and besides, you're quite the challenge.“ he replied, a serious mask over the Guardians face.

Tyren moved his katana upward and started to grin. In a speedy move, Tyren ran towards the Warrior with huge agility, slashing the blade horizontally across Draken’s abdomen. A load clinging sound of metal against metal could be heard and the Guardian was suddenly forced to a halt. Draken’s Valheru sword spun through the air with a tail of blue flames and finally stabbed itself into the wall. Tyren looked at his blade and saw that it was held in Draken’s left hand. “Metal arm?” Tyren asked “Durasteel, but yes.” Draken answered with a grin and he punched Tyren with his right hand across the face, sending him backwards. Before Tyren could retaliate, a swift kick from Draken removed the Katana from the Guardian’s hand and with a snap hiss the Valheru’s lightsaber sprung to life and was pointed at the younger Sith.

After a few seconds Draken de-ignited his saber and clipped it back to his belt, nodding with his head for a fight well fought. Tyren had a smirk on his face, he knew his old Sergeant wouldn’t sit around without improving his strengths. And Tyren had to admit, this spiritual alliance Ylith made with the Valheru was quite powerful.

“You have been around for many millennia right Draken?” Tyren said and Draken nodded while pulling out his Valheru sword and putting it into the sheath. “Because, I have this nightmare, something that has been haunting me for quite some time and I can’t place a finger on it. I think it’s something that happened in the Past.” “What is it?” Draken asked and he sat down on a bench, grabbing a towel. „I have these dreams...nightmares in which i see a woman, and two boys, twins, playing in a garden...and the explosion...some huge refugee base and a ship. We all board it and the family gets separated. Then we enter some kind of escape pod, and a woman bursts into tears as the other pod gets destroyed.“ Draken thought about this and suddenly, not memories of him but of Ylith. He remember the story Tyren described as that of a bed time story. “I know that story, but it isn’t from my memories, but of Ylith’s.” “Of Ylith? But how?” Tyren said, paying attention. “His foster parents told him that story as a bed time story, because they didn’t want him to forget what killed his biological father…”

Suddenly Draken was silent and rose from his seat. “What is it?” Tyren asked and Draken didn’t say a word, motioning for the Guardian to follow him.

They walked out of the training room and Tyren followed Draken towards the medical bay. Though he questioned what the Valheru was up to, Tyren followed, awaiting what would come next.

A droid walked towards the two Dark Jedi, and Draken asked the droid for a DNA test. The Droid motioned them to follow him and Tyren wondered why Draken would ask for a DNA test. An IT-3 droid whizzed towards the two Dark Jedi and started to tap off blood from Draken and Tyren, only to whiz off again to the main computer mainframe.

“Why are we doing this?’ Tyren asked and Draken smirked. “I have a feeling, you will see.” He said and Tyren shook his head, wondering what he was up to now. It didn’t take long for the droid to return and came with the result. ”The DNA test shows that you are similar in every aspect, not only are you blood relatives, but it is also believed that you are twin brothers.” The droid said, and he gave the results to Draken before moving off to another patient who was just brought in.

“Brothers? But…how?” Tyren said amazed and Draken watched the test results and smirked. “Those nightmares of yours are memories, and so are Ylith’s stories. You just forgot.” ”I should have remembered, I am older than you.” The Guardian said and Draken shook his head. “According to the test, Ylith is older by twelve minutes. Why would you think you are older?” Draken said, giving the test results to Tyren so he could see them. “I…don’t remember. There is something about a fall, then everything turns black. I experienced life on a different level of the force, like I was dead before my time. Then I woke up, feeling years older.” Tyren explained and the Valheru nodded. ”Sometimes the mind continues in time while the body is severed. It’s known by my people as Ra’luk, or in common tongue, spirit life.” “So we’re brothers…?” Tyren asked and Draken smiled and nodded. “Yes brother, we are.” They both collected their belongings and moved out of the medical bay, both amazed they found their twin brother and both embracing the bond they were going to receive by discovering it.

Quest for knowledge

Both Dark Jedi embraced this fact and started their quest to find out the true history of their youth, they ended their search on the planet Dantooine, where they found an old Jedi Holocron, recording the first Jedi Marriage during the Jedi Purge, showing that it belonged to the Atema family.

Then the holocron showed the two boys playing, seeing the image both Dark Jedi startted to remember their hidden and forgotten past. The the screen shifted and the attack was shown, as the two Sith now remembered clearly, they knew now that they were split up and their past with them.

Both Ylith and Tyren reconstructed the Atema family crest and placed the banner near the ruins of the Sanctuary, to remember their parents, even if they were Jedi. The two boys became Sith, but they would never dishonour the Atema family.

Markings

The Dragon tattoo

File:Tattoo.jpg

Ryuujin`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." The Herald`s logo in the background represents his loyalty to the Herald.

"Ryuujin noroi"

File:Ryuujinnoroi.jpg

Ryuujin`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)

T-65 X-wing

File:X Wing.jpg

Ryuujin`s X-wing

Tyren acquired his X-wing before he joined the Brotherhood. He stole it from a Rebel base. The X-Wing also had an R2 unit attached to it when it was stolen. Later on Tyren colored it almost jet black, added better engines, a better hull, new lasers and an improved Shield generator. The ship holds scars of many dogfights and bears the imprints of many ships that were destroyed by its owner.

   * Speed: 100 MGLT
   * Maneuverability: 90 DPF

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.
