A Brief History

Early Childhood

File:Ywing.gif
The Lightbringer

Hel-Pa Sklib was a Tarasin, no knowledge of his birth place is known. His last conscious memories are from Corellia, the planet in which he grew up starting at early childhood. His adoptive father was a CorSec agent and since Hel-Pa's childhood, he wished he could grow up and be like his father. Much of his childhood was spent on the job with his father within the atmosphere of Corellia, mostly just patrolling the skies and inspecting cargo shipments, nothing very dangerous. At age eight, he learned most of the techniques and tricks of piloting his father's BTL-S3 Lightbringer. Although he had never actually piloted the craft, he still learned most of the controls and functions of the cockpit console.

Since Hel-Pa spent so much time with his father at the CorSec office, he had little free time in his social life. Attending a private day-school in Saigetopia, Hel-Pa had only a handful of friends, and he considered them more acquaintances than friends. By the time his primary school graduation occurred, most of them had left the school to engage in other curriculums pre-determined by their families. Hel-Pa never felt lonely, and enjoyed his time in the cockpit immensely.

Early Adolescence

Secondary School proved to be Hel-Pa's most life-determining experience. He had been sent to a prestigious boarding school in Coronet City, and remained away from his family for extended periods of time. His time spent in his father's Y-Wing was now lost, and most of his hours were spent in his academy's physical training center. Hel-Pa's favorite workouts included swimming and wrestling. After participating in numerous wrestling competitions, Hel-Pa decided that he should pursue his strength as a wrestler and develop his body to better suit those needs. Countless hours were spent in the gym, and Hel-Pa developed astonishing upper and lower body strength.

Sklib soon engaged in fencing, an activity his roommate practiced occasionally. He had a knack for it, and had an uncanny ability to predetermine his opponent's actions subconsciously. He quickly developed into one of the academy's fiercest fighters, and often was disqualified from matches for overly aggressive behavior and unsportsmanlike conduct. Rage had been building inside of him steadily, as most of his peers shunned him from his late entrance into the academy. This sword-fighting proved to be the only effective method of venting for Sklib, and he practiced this method for the duration of his stay at the academy.

The Death of a Loved One

During a routine cargo inspection of a YT-1300 in Coronet City during Sklib's summer vacation, quite a distance from Hel-Pa's home city of Saigetopia, Tarth's corpse was found with several blaster holes in his back, and he was easily pronounced dead. Hel-Pa developed a thirst for revenge against the one who murdered his beloved father. After many useless attempts to look at security tapes and other evidence, no progress was made to discover the killer.

Hel-Pa was 17 years old when his father died. His adolescent mind sought the utter destruction of whoever murdered his father. Now several months since this tragic event, Hel-Pa had a clue on who the murderer was, but refused to believe it. In the mouth of his father's corpse was his mother's favorite cosmetic appliance. Hel-Pa still was not totally convinced it was his mother, but nevertheless he cannot exclude that possibility. He soon gave up on tracking the killer, and stowawayed onto a small vessel called the Ghost. The destination of the ship was unknown, but it was away from Corellia, which is all that mattered to Hel-Pa.

After a rather harsh landing, Hel-Pa emerged from the ship after it had landed for at least an hour. Hel-Pa stepped out onto the landing platform, and saw nothing but barren desert across the landscape. He was unfamiliar with such a planet, and immediately concluded that it was not necessarily the best place to have stowawayed to. The presence of the place made Hel-Pa feel quirky, and he felt a strange sense of control over his environment in the place. Moments later, he felt a jagged disruption in this strange force, and sharply looked behind him to see the owner of the ship, Shadow Taldrya. The mysterious man, who bore a striking resemblance to other Corellians he had known, smirked and motioned for the adolescent to follow him into what looked like a large building.

After a few threatening remarks, the man pointed to a large doorway, with what looked like ancient inscriptions on it. In utter fear, Hel-Pa walked slowly towards the large doorway, and noticed a few others his age, but mostly several years younger than him in appearance. The man who had menacingly met Hel-Pa grunted as Sklib walked away, "You are strong."

The Shadow Academy

Months after his forced entry into the Shadow Academy of the Dark Jedi Brotherhood, Hel-Pa still was not satisfied with the planet and had recently realized he was much stronger and had more potential in the Force then the students around him. After many trials and tests, including the Test of Lore, Hel-Pa was recognized as an Apprentice in the Brotherhood, and sent to House Ektrosis of Taldryan to begin his pursuit of ultimate power and knowledge of the Force.

Hel-Pa had chosen the Obelisk order as his order within the Brotherhood, and began enrolling in basic ground combat courses within the Academy. He excelled in said courses, and after a few promotions within his House for dedication to Ektrosis, he passed advanced courses such as Marksmanship and even his Test of Endurance. His skill in these arts proved to be his core, and in the future, his leaders would look to him to use his mastery of combat in many cases.

Beginnings as an Ektrosian

Hel-Pa had just begun venturing into the adult world. His recent promotions in the Brotherhood had wizened him and as Tetrarch of a Battle Team, Hel-Pa handled more responsibility than he ever had in his life. His first "test" as an adult was the Sixth Great Jedi War, where he exemplified all the qualities an Obelisk should show during the Great War at a surprisingly young age.

After only half a year of servitude to House Ektrosis, Sklib was selected by the Summit members to lead the Hex Battle Team after the mysterious disappearance of Raistline Majere. Sklib quickly involved his Battle Team in training exercises, but no real combat situations had come across him. After almost five months as Battle Team Leader, a mysterious artifact was stolen from the Shadow Academy, and Hex was sent to investigate and recover said artifact. This would eventually be found by another, more experienced, group of Dark Jedi, but Hel-Pa still was perturbed by his Battle Team's lacking ability to cohesively work together to achieve a single goal.

Knighthood and the Claw of Dinaari

The Claw of Dinaari -- Awarded to the most powerful and vindictive warriors of Taldryan

After spending nearly a year as both Guardian and Jedi Hunter within his clan, Hel-Pa became perturbed by his position as Jedi Hunter, and often was seen in fits of rage, destroying many things in his path, and even nearly slaying a fellow Battle Team member. At the dawn of another year, and after a time of peace within the Brotherhood, Hel-Pa Sklib witnessed the birth of House Archanis within Taldryan. As the House was gathering its roots, Sklib further felt the tensions and stress of his inability to wield the prestigious lightsaber and was often seen having tantrums in his quarters by members of his Clan Summit.

Two events within his Clan altered this current mindset, and Sklib's energy was invigorated. During a Clan Meeting, he was surprisingly awarded the rank of Dark Jedi Knight, with praise from fellow Ektrosians Taku "Crix" Matsuki Taldrya and Alanna Taldrya; even the great clan leader Duga Taldrya Arkarso. During that same meeting, Sklib was given the honor of receiving the Claw of Dinaari. This trophy represented Hel-Pa's great achievements in battle and advanced combat prowess, surely a sign of his great potential as a warrior for Taldryan.

Hel-Pa in Dinaari

Shortly after Hel-Pa's promotion to Knight, he was selected to replace Odium as Dinaari Aedile. Sklib was honored with the position, and was confident he could responsibility and leadership on a greater level than he had with Battle Team Hex in Ektrosis. Under the careful guidance of Erinyes, Hel-Pa would quickly gain necessary skills he would need in upcoming conflicts such as the Rite of Supremacy.

During the Rite, Hel-Pa competed in all aspects for the betterment of Taldryan. His skills on the battlefield, library, debate hall, and tactics coordination center helped his clan greatly. While the Clans awaited decision as to who the 1st Clan of the Brotherhood was, Hel-Pa was made Quaestor only a few months after being names Aedile. The old QUA, Erin, transferred to the Rogues and left Taldryan in a mysterious exit, baffling most of the members. Her removal as QUA appeared to have caused traumatic stress, and Hel-Pa would only hope to apply the lessons he had learned from her to his role as leader of House Dinaari.

Personality

Hel-Pa is generally a mild-mannered individual, preferring to observe the actions of others rather than engage with them. Sklib is generally patient with members of the Brotherhood he is frustrated with, avoiding them if possible. He is quick to relieve himself of work and bestow it upon others, making him reasonably lazy. Sklib often jokes with others, but in a private way. He is generally respectful of other members, but becomes frustrated with idiotic or members he considers "retarded".

Artifacts

Hel-Pa Sklib has many possessions which display his attitudes and mannerisms. The choice of robes, lightsaber, and warbanner best display this.

Lightsaber

Hel-Pa Sklib's current lightsaber.

Hel-Pa has recently created a lightsaber using a Lion's Claw Hilt, a new style recently issued by the Herald's Office. Hel-Pa prefers the jagged grip due to its traction and inability to easily slide away from a perspiring hand amidst a tense duel between a rival or enemy. The purple blade is just a color preference by Sklib, and bears no meaning of heightened skill or anything of the sort. He is also a master of Shii-Cho, and few parallel his skill in the simple, yet deadly, form. Sklib strives simplicity over complexity, and his natural athleticism and willingness to battle make Shii-Cho a perfect form for Hel-Pa to practice. Shii-Cho offers great protection against multiple enemies, and Hel-Pa has found himself with his Battle Team, fending off multiple Rebels, Pirates, and other forces at the same time. This form combined with Dark Jedi Knight Vodo Biask's mastered Soresu skills made them an almost unstoppable force inside the great Battle Team.

Robes

With the rank of Dark Jedi Knight, many new robe options are available for a Dark Jedi. Sklib chose the stormtrooper armor because of its added armor for use in battle, but a few months after his promotion decided it just wasn't for him. The armor was not needed at all times, and was quite uncomfortable when in just a casual setting. He now wears standard Knight robes with Obelisk trim.

Warbanner

Prior to Knighthood, Hel-Pa's warbanner was blue and depicted a wolf, his favorite animal. Now it is yellowish-orange and depicts a deathbat. The deathbat is a symbol of well... death. Sklib's latest warbanner has the Taldryan crest with medallion at the top, only awarded to the QUA and AED of a house.
