| === Hijuk Noctos - "Unholy Child" === | | === The Birth of the Jade Family === |
|
| |
|
| The origins of Aticus Jade date back to Destavol Gin who was the living form of Aticus. Destavol Gin's history is all but lost records to the Brotherhood, and even to Aticus himself. Needless to say the last remnants of Destavol Gin's life was recorded in one final battle with an arch-rival Jedi Order member whom Destavol lay a curse upon as he died. Destavol was to be reborn as the Jedi's child. After striking Destavol down, the soul of Aticus was fused with Destavol's thus making what the ancient Jedi called Hijuk Noctos "An Unholy Child". The [[Jedi]] had no idea the horror his own flesh would bring into the world.
| | Aticus Jade was born on Eden under his loving father and mother, Kevard Jade and Mortisha Jade. He was the third child born to the Jade family. The first was his oldest brother, Talon Jade and the second was the middle child Sykes Jade. Kevard was a simple man, or put out to be. He worked on Eden as a droid mechanic for ZioTech, a corrupt corporation with deep ties with the Hutts and other gangs. However Kevard did not allow this to change him, he worked hard and made an honest living, but his disapprovals of ZioTech were well known among his family and even the CEOs of ZioTech. Mortisha Jade was formerly Mortisha Kibone of Alderaan before its destruction. She was luckily not present for its destruction and was at that time a Senator for the Empire. However like Kevard she did not agree with corrupt corporations such as the Empire, and eventually resigned from her status soon before the Emperor simply disolved the entire Senate. |
|
| |
|
| Aticus was born through death, killing his mother five minutes before he was cut from his mother womb by his father's [[lightsaber]]. The infant had almost died himself but to no surprise the strong soul of Destavol managed to keep the body and mind of the unborn child alive long enough for the father to remove the infant. Knowing that if the Jedi Order found out about him fathering a child, and even more the child killing the mother would result in the Jedi Master being removed from the order, so his child would have to be a secret...something that only worked to Aticus's advantage.
| | Before Kevard and Mortisha met, Kevard himself was infact on the darker end of the deals - being a smuggler and bounty hunter for the Bounty Hunter's Guild. However after meeting Mortisha he felt the need to chase men all over the galaxy for credits was just not something he wanted nor needed in his life any longer. The two eventually moved to Eden to hide their past and claimed to be a newly wedded couple looking for a new home and new life. The small city of Alkaresh accepted them in where they made their lives comfortable and simple. |
|
| |
|
| At the age of five Aticus was showing abnormal connections with [[the Force]]. Though the mind of body of Destavol was gone, his will lived strong with Aticus as the five year old was placing horrible nightmares in his father's head. Visions of rape, murder, mutilation and other horrible things. It would eventually drive his father from the Order, due to insanity. A price that Aticus's father had earned for killing Destavol. At the age of nine Aticus had driven his father insane and left him to rot in his own corner of the universe. Visions had been plaguing Aticus's mind - star routes, people that seemed familiar calling to him yet he had never met them before in his life. Aticus knew of the Jedi and of the Sith, and of the force. And inside he knew his natural hatred of the Jedi came from some bloodline that was made unaware to him. So he set off to seek out his past, but this was not easy for a nine year old boy with red eyes and a wild connection to the force. Horrible tragedies followed Aticus, causing him many near counters with death. It wasn't until a fight against trained mercenaries at the age of thirteen that Aticus was recognized by the [[Dark Jedi Brotherhood]].
| | After Talon was born the two decided money was needed to begin their family, and their initial credits they had come to Eden with were running dry. So Kevard signed a contract for ten years with ZioTech. After two years, the couple were doing well - though Kevard was displeased with the work he had been doing. He wanted to make droids to save lives, instead they had him making droids to take lives. It was not long until the second Jade son was born. He was named Sykes Jade after Kevard's brother who he kept a secret but was a Jedi before he was killed. Only one year later Aticus was born and the family was built. |
|
| |
|
| === A Brotherhood of Darkness === | | === The Jade Family Prospers === |
| | |
| | After nine years with the company despite his displeasure, Kevard knew that if he could serve another ten he would have a hefty retirement in the bag. He was now getting old though and moving slower than what he was ten years before and this was seen as a problem to the company, but due to his loyalty to serving so long with ZioTech instead of firing him they granted him another ten year contract as a Sub-Official in the company. This excited Kevard as he was now able to begin putting his own influence into ZioTech and begin developing things that he wanted. |
| | |
| | Despite his request, Kevard was given office away from Eden though giving him very little time to tend to his family outside of financial helpings. He would work both day and night to ensure his family had everything that it ever wanted - and because of this the family became very rich. Due to their financial income, Mortisha soon ended up gaining office as Major over the now large and growing city of Alkaresh. She began building several great things for the city and gained popularity from the entire planet as a fighter for the people's rights. This however gained unwanted attention from the Empire and after several assasination attempts on herself and her children, she decided it was time to leave office once more. |
| | |
| | Kevard had also felt that he was not doing his job as a husband and father by leaving his family unattended so he placed in an early resignation to leave ZioTech and go home to Eden. The family had banked so much money over the time that they bought almost one third of Eden in property. Once the boys had each reached the age of eighteen or older Kevard and Mortisha gave each a mansion with two thousand acres of land to invest in. The simple family had become a powerful one - and this began to change the way the galaxy looked at them. |
| | |
| | === The Jade Family Exiled === |
| | |
| | At eighteen Aticus was much like a prince. He had anything he wanted, but above all things he wanted - he wanted a service record. Time in the military. His two brothers felt the same, however unlike their mother and father, they did not see the Empire as a corrupt organization but rather a league of heros willing to do whatever it took to establish law and order across the galaxy. |
| | |
| | Soon all three left Eden to enlist with the Imperial Remenant. During this time however, Eden was under pressure from the Remenant to surrender itself to the forces of the Empire or be invaded. The planet had stood for so long as a nuetral force that it had no intentions of doing so, but it was no match for the Empire. The people of Eden had never seen the likes of the masses of soldiers and starfighters swarming their planet, and it lead to their belief that the Empire was being funded from Eden - and the only family capable of this was the Jades, Kevard and Mortisha. |
| | |
| | The people were half correct. The Jade family was in fact funding the Empire to come into Eden but it was not by Kevard or Mortisha but by Talon, Sykes and Aticus. All three had given their property to the Imperial government to establish Military and Political operations on the planet. When the word came out that the Jade name was in fact funding the Empire - Kevard and Mortisha were branded traitors, along with their children. They were left with two options - capital execution or exile from Eden. Kevard and Mortisha of course took the exile and were never heard or seen from by anyone again - though all three children eventualy found out that the two never made it off the planet and were assassinated. This lead Eden to its downfall. |
| | |
| | === The Fall of Eden === |
| | |
| | With word of their parents assassination, all three took no thought into the idea that the Empire had any influence into it and decided to expend all posible funds to eradicate any resistance of the Empire on Eden. In three days with the massive funding provided, the planet fell and the Empire established itself - renaming the planet Jade in honor of the three that supported its efforts. Of course none of the three Jade children were physically involved with the invasion as at this time they were still in training for the Empire. They were also unaware that over three million non combatants were slaughtered during the invasion under the assumption they were resistance members. |
| | |
| | Eden went from being its former paradise of lush green lands, to a planet laced with havok and burning fires. The Empire took no waste in time before using the planet for its resources. It would take time, but eventually Eden would turn from a lush green planet to a ruin of its former beauty. |
|
| |
|
| A battle for government control was happening on the small planet of Ottus Prime. It was a backwater planet, with few resources and a big problem with crime. A bad place to make a pit stop, and an even worse place for a thirteen year old boy to try and survive. Aticus had been skipping aboard freighters for a while now, and had made his way to this planet on accident and had even managed to get stuck during a planet wide quarantine. If he was to be found by the authorities - they would know of his past and pry kill him. If he wasn't found by authorities he would pry end up being picked up and sold into slavery. It was during this time that Aticus picked up the name Khaos, for his own protection. Making his way threw the slums one day Aticus ran into some mercenary trouble. He was wanted on a few planets for three unexplained deaths, and these mercenaries were interested in finding a reason to leave the planet. Capturing Aticus would be the perfect reason since transport of a bounty over-ruled the quarantine laws.
| |
|
| |
|
| Aticus had no intention on going with these men and was armed only with a blaster and his fathers lightsaber, which he had little knowledge of how to use either. The hand of favor was not with Aticus as he was easily taken by the mercenaries. However it appeared that Aticus's reputation had also attracted a follower. A man in dark torn robes was squatted in the rafters of a building, watching the whole situation with Aticus and the mercenaries. He was sent specifically to investigate this odd wild ripple that was coursing through the force. Seeing that the mercenaries intentions would harm his mission, the Dark Jedi had no choice but to intervene. With an amazing speed and accuracy a flash of light came from many different angles and in an instant the mercenaries fell holding in their organs or decapitated. Stunned in fear, but oddly use to the sight, Aticus couldn't move as a tall shadow formed over him.
| |
| ''"Boy, be grateful I was here today. And do not think I like you, as I hated you longer than you've known yourself. My name is [[Shadow Taldrya]] and you are going to come with me."''
| |
| With that said the Dark Jedi whipped Aticus in the back of the head with his hilt and carried him off to a shuttle where they departed the planet quickly avoiding the quarantine.
| |
|
| |
|
| Aticus remembered nothing of a [[Dark Jedi]] saving him, or even who he was for a little while. Conversations about him were all around him yet he saw no one. Finally a voice seemed to single him out and speak to him.
| | === Time in the Empire === |
| ''"You are the reborn Destavol are you not?"''
| |
| asked the voice. Aticus began to reply until a flood of memories knocked him unconscious again. An entire lifetime of memories flooded the child's mind, thus knocking him into a coma for four years. Finally at the age of seventeen the young man awakened and realized what he truly was, and his true role in the galaxy...
| |
|
| |
|
| === The Grand Master's Royal Guard ===
| | Once their training was completed, the three Jades were now much older. Talon was twenty one years of age, with Sykes and Aticus at nineteen and eighteen. All three became officers in the Empire almost immediatly after their training was complete. Aticus chose differently than his two older brothers. He wanted to see combat first hand, on the ground and up close and personal. The loss of his parants had driven him into a state of mind to brutaly defeat any that opposed the Remenant. He chose to become a Stormtrooper, while Talon and Sykes became TIE Pilots. |
|
| |
|
| As a young Dark Jedi Aticus progressed fastest in the lightsaber arts. He often tended to focus more on combat than the force itself, letting pure instinct and hunger for victory fuel his combat. Despite his level the young Guardian was capable of besting Dark Jedi Knights, and even an Obelisk Warlord once in saber combat. The skill Aticus had aquired was something very few force users had ever been gifted with - the ability to false cast his combat movements with the force. He of course did this unknowingly to begin with but eventualy perfected it.
| | They all three proved to be elite soldiers and was soon transfered to the Emperor's Hammer Strike Fleet - formerly an elite strike force for the Empire under the command of Grand Admiral Ronin. Aticus was transfered into the Hammer's Fist where he became a Major and served for several years as a Command Staff member. It was during this time that he had already seen war at its best and he thought there was nothing stronger than the force of the Empire's Legions and Corps. This was until his brother Talon met up with him after two years of being seperated. |
|
| |
|
| This feat gained him entrance into the GMRG a while after his eighteenth birthday. Here he trained with lightsaber masters that to this day he could not defeat, but he learned much that would eventually mold him into a master saberist himself.
| | He invited him to leave the Legion and take Major ranking in an elite unit called the Infiltrator Wing. A division that used Alliance craft against the alliance and strategicly caused several massacres and kept the Rebellion at bay for a very long time. Aticus agreed and became a member of the infamous Eagle Squadron. Here he made his true name as a warrior, as did his brothers. This gained attention from a division far greater than the entire Empire and lead him down a path that would change his life for ever. |
|
| |
|
| === Time as a Rogue === | | === A Brotherhood of Darkness === |
|
| |
|
| Aticus had actively served in the Brotherhood until he was nineteen. He eventually began to grow weary of the leaders in the Brotherhood, and felt as if the truth behind Destavol Gin was being hid from him. He was still unaware that his father was the man that killed him formerly.. ..so Aticus became a [[Rogue]] Dark Jedi, cut off from the Brotherhood and began his own studies for the next few years of his life. He discovered many things out about himself during these years of self reflection. He learned to channel the force through different objects instead of using the force surrounding the objects. He also learned the secret behind his eyes.. ..his eyes were the same as Destavol's. they were known as Sharingan. | | At twenty two years old, Aticus was captured in combat as was Talon and Sykes. The Empire considered them MIA or KIA, as the capture happened so fast amongst so much chaos that it was not until the battle was over that they were aware that Eagle Squadron had lost its Commander and both its Flight Leaders. However the three were not captured by the Rebellion, but infact a secret order called the Dark Jedi Brotherhood. Up to this time Aticus had heard of the force but knew little about it much less believed in it. |
|
| |
|
| It wasn't until the age of twenty that Aticus returned to his fathers home to find that his father had regained his sanity...and that he now had a younger brother named Daunte. Aticus had finally realized his true form, his true identity as Destavol and decided his revenge was to be enacted now. His plan was to wipe out Jedi Master Amon Kashu, his wife Sara Kashu, and his younger brother Daunte Kashu.. ..He began with his step mother whom he simply crushed her spine with the force. Next was to be Amon himself. A fierce saber battle took place, placing a scar over Aticus's left eye (the same as Destavol's) but in the end the old Jedi Master had become weak and was unprepared for the return of his enemy. The final step would be to kill [[Daunte Gin | Daunte]], but when Aticus found the child he was very surprised. His brother had his eyes, something he did not understand. So instead of killing Daunte he took the child to the Dark Brotherhood to have him studied, thus began the story of Daunte Kashu.
| | He was brought before a man in a black cloak that never showed his face. He told him he had one choice, serve the Brotherhood. Aticus resisted at first, which gained him his first realization that the force was in fact real. The man in the black robe lifted both of his hands and sent lightning racing through his body and in no time the young man fell to the floor near death. The being told him the only reason he was spared is so that in time he could come to understand that the Brotherhood was his true destiny. |
|
| |
|
| === Clan Naga Sadow ===
| | After two months of captivity, and re-education Aticus was drafted into the Shadow Academy. He began his journey down the dark side there. He learned much while at the Academy, more than he had wanted to know. He was taught to kill in manners unthinkable to him at that time, and was introduced to something that he bonded to the rest of his life. A lightsaber. At the Shadow Academy he was taught everything BUT to use the lightsaber, and in short this made him very outraged - and lead to him killing one of the instructors because he would not grant him the advanced permission to weild a lightsaber. |
|
| |
|
| Aticus had returned to the Brotherhood as an [[Eclectic Pedagogue]] with the [[Shadow Academy]] and had served generously for several months. However visions once again began to fill his mind. He was now 25 years of age and stood as one of the Brotherhoods powerful [[Equite | Equites]]. A [[Sith Lord]] named [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Naga_Sadow Naga Sadow] had approached him in several visions - directing him to his Clan, promising him power and promising to unravel the untold history of his former self should he serve him well. Knowing that this could be his only chance, Aticus accepted the Sith Lord's offer and joined Clan Naga Sadow, and [[House Ludo Kressh]] where he began a growing chapter for himself.
| | Usualy one is executed for the murder of a fellow brother or sister in the brotherhood with out reasonable cause, however before he could be trialed a man named Corran Force had found out of his accomplishments and denied any punishment to befall Aticus. The two first met on Eos in the prison of Yilvaska. Corran found Aticus beaten brutaly and starved, nearly on his death bed. This outraged Corran and ordered that the men responsible come before him. When they did, he handed Aticus his lightsaber and demanded that he strike down those that would harm him. Almost to weak to even hold a hilt, Aticus managed to bring enough energy to combat against three guards that had beaten him. This pleased Corran, he had found a strong pupil. It was from there that Aticus and Corran shared a bond of Master and Apprentice. |
|
| |
|
| After spending some time in the clan Aticus began to feel more attached and apart of it than he had ever felt to any clan in his whole time in the [[Dark Jedi Brotherhood]]. He had gained close and notable allies in the clan, some gifted in stratagy, others in combat, some simply being influential leaders - despite the fact of their expertise, the [[Sith]] had come to see value and worth in Lord Naga Sadow's clan. He moved his journey quikcly towards [[Clan Naga Sadow]]'s combat. The Clan had been practicing deep in arts of the force that he himself were a bit astounded by the discoveries. But Aticus was also aware that in many cases the force was no match for a well planned and precise attack, with the power of the dark side backing it.
| | === The Path of Darkness === |
|
| |
|
| It was for this reason that he began to meet with his claimed brother, and fellow Sith - Horus Blackheart. The two were well attuned in goals to form a more strategic and better trained warrior for House Ludo Kressh. The two studied hard on the arts of war in their areas of specialty and became far stronger than most could have imagined. Even in his death Lord Ludo Kressh felt these warriors of his name and seeked them out. It was a matter of days before Ludo Kressh found both Horus and Aticus in the forrest of Aeotheran training.
| | Corran Force was no easy master to deal with. He demanded perfection of Aticus, and when given perfection he demanded better. Though Corran unlike the rest of the Dark Jedi, did not do this out of sadistic pleasure as much as he did it to ensure that his pupil would survive in the Dark Brotherhood. Once Aticus's master felt confident enough that the young man could survive in the Dark Brotherhood, he re-established him as a certified Apprentice of the Dark Brotherhood and placed him in Clan Taldryan. |
|
| |
|
| He called to both of them to a more open area with oddly placed boulders and some with [[Sith]] runes incribed into them. Ludo Kressh told them this is where he himself had onced trained in seclusion away from all, and to build a training installation on these grounds and he shall bless it. Aticus and Horus were no fools and quickly moved to find the funds and resources needed for this training installation. Aticus donated almost 96% of the funds for the new installation. It took a month and a Sphere Stage 8X Battle Station was constructed.
| | It was here that Aticus found nothing but misery and torture. The clan did not accept him for who he was, as his ideals did not conform with theirs. Aticus at that time only served one person, his Master Corran Force and considered his master placing him in any clan as a mistake. After time passed however, Aticus did gain some forms of friendships within the clan. The first person to take him under their arm was a Guardian named SwipeR. The man was a skilled lightsaberist but a seasoned heavy weapons user. His abilities with a Concussion Rifle exceeded some of the Empire's finest snipers. The two got to know each other well, and eventually became friends. |
|
| |
|
| [[Ludo Kressh]] returned to the two and showed he was pleased by calling both forward and to kneel before him. When both did he pulled a sword from a sheath on his side and blessed both Sith as his Paladins, sworn defenders of his name, his house, and his followers. The [[Paladins of Kressh]] was now officialy born and ready to establish.
| | Through SwipeR Aticus met his more rivalistic friend, Shadow and the mentor of both SwipeR and Shadow - Sharad Hett. Shadow was a man of joking manner but he had no mercy in combat, and even though Aticus was an ally and a friend he showed him little taste or comfort. Shadow expected a lot from Aticus and for a period of time when Aticus would fail - Shadow would either lead him into danger or try to kill Aticus himself. Though once Aticus found out that if he did not succeed in the clan he would die, he began to find victory not so hard to reach. Sharad Hett had little likings to Aticus at all to begin with. In fact, he had placed an order for an assassination on him by Shadow as a phase of his training, but this was interviened by Corran Force, and a warning was placed that should any unexplained death or injury befall Aticus he himself would dispose of all who were involved. |
|
| |
|
| === The Xyler Family ===
| | It was at this time that Corran saw that Aticus did not belong with clan Taldryan so he called him before him and described the other clans of the Brotherhood. Two came to his mind, Clan Arcona and Clan Naga Sadow. Arcona was a divine and well formed clan of war. They studied in combat far beyond the other clans and was rivaled only by Taldryan. So naturaly Aticus chose Arcona and it was there that he found his brothers Talon and Sykes waiting for him. The three were happily reunited but in a way they all knew they could never be the boys they once were. Love was a weakness and they could not show it to one another, but they did give each other more loyalty than they would the Grand Master. |
|
| |
|
| Around the same time period as the Paladins of Kressh was born, Aticus was on a mission to meet with the Consul of Arcona on behalf of the Consul of Naga Sadow and stumbled across the path of an old ally. At first the two did not recognise each other, and sensing a powerful presence upon each other their natural urge was to silence the others. The two locked into a silent yet powerful battle of both the mind and blade. In the end Aticus was defeated but it was by this time that both recognised each others fighting style, and knew each other. Astonished at how far Aticus had progressed since their time together only a year or two before, Quejo brought Aticus before him no longer as an ally but as a brother in rites to the Xyler family.
| | === Crossed Paths === |
|
| |
|
| At first Aticus was hisitant but as he served a while with Quejo he eventualy agreed to the idea of becoming a Xyler. The family had a history of well trained warriors and with Quejo now leading the family, the Sith knew he had an opportunity to further progress himself. So it was from there that Aticus became Aticus Jade Xyler, and a practitioner of the Xyler Saber Style.
| | Aticus spent several years of his life in Arcona, among the houses he spent most of his time in Galares. He met several friends and allies there, and developed strong bonds with them. He began his lightsaber training there as well under the guidance of his brother Talon Jade who at this point was a Dark Jedi Knight. Though he did enjoy the clan, and had learned much - Aticus in his heart felt the call of Taldryan to him. He felt that he had failed in one area and tried to cover it up with another. Though he let this eat at him for several more years before leaving. |
|
| |
|
| === Two Souls Merge ===
| | During his time with Arcona, he had commanded elite Brigades, Squadrons and Phyles, and had even gained the positions of Aedile and Quaestor of House Galares. It was soon though that the failure in Taldryan forced him to step away from these positions. He felt obsolete to everyone else in the Brotherhood, regardless of their stature or clan. So one night he packed all of his things and left without word to anyone. At this time he was a Jedi Hunter, and now much stronger, diciplined, and better educated. His goal, was Taldryan. He would either recieve his Knighthood there - or he would die trying. |
|
| |
|
| Not long after the Sith had joined the Xyler family and initiated the first Paladin of Kressh, Aticus had grown weak and near deathly ill. The cause was unknown and even the best of healers could not figure out his illness. It was neither mental, or physical - and the presence of the force could not be felt. So it was decided that it would be best to leave him to his rest for better or worse. Aticus was quickly taken into the protection of the Xyler family, were not even the Consul of Naga Sadow could have gotten to him without firt waging war with the family. For three weeks he lay dormant with no news sent to anyone.
| | When the young man arrived at the Dinaari landing pad he was met with instant resistance from younger house members that had heard rumors of him being a traitor. He wasted no time in dispatching death to those that would consider him a traitor. Though he was deafeted quickly by a now much stronger Templar Shadow. During the battle Shadow had no idea he was fighting Aticus, and even when he had defeated him and realized it was him - Shadow showed no anger in his former comrads defeat. He told him "You've progressed further than I'd have imagined. Are you coming home?". Aticus told Shadow of why he had returned and this gained sympothy from Shadow, who was the Proconsul under his master Sharad Hett at the time. |
|
| |
|
| During this period of time his brother Quejo Xyler tended to him as he was one of the few people that knew of the two souls in his body, and he knew this was not an illness but a struggle between Aticus and Destavol for control and from the looks of it Destavol was close to winning. Reports from family doctors state that Aticus had convulsions so hard that he would pop legs and arms out of sockets, and once even broke one of his rips.
| | When Sharad had heard of Aticus's return he confronted him personaly, but after study of him Sharad eventualy lightened up and accepted Aticus as a member of the clan, and after a few months of trials Aticus had earned his right to stand among House Dinaari once more who was now under the command of his friend SwipeR. |
|
| |
|
| A battle was being waged in what would have been an alternate dimension to most. It was not his mind, nor was it a place of physical beings. Destavol was a powerful Dark Jedi and easily tripled in power to Aticus. In this dimension the two faugt with odd swords of nothing but energy, no hilt, and battled using the force. There were no breaks, but in the end Aticus was out done. However before Destavol could finish Aticus, an intervension of some divine entity that made no metnion of its name made one statement to both while paralyzing them. "You are both one in the same, two halves that must be made whole. I will watch you fight no longer - you are both now Aticus Xyler."
| | === The Trials of the Knight === |
|
| |
|
| And like that Aticus awoke like it was a nightmare. However his entire personality and preferences had changed. He was no longer the same person everyone had known him to be. His mixture with Destavol had brought him more wisdom, but also more rage and above all made him ruthless.
| | Aticus served once more with House Dinaari and Clan Taldryan for several years until the day had finaly come. SwipeR had called a private session with Aticus and explained to him that it was now his time to take the trials of the Dark Jedi Knight - and that in truth that he may not survive this. These words only excited Aticus, he was eager to prove himself worthy and accomplished. SwipeR reviewed Aticus's training, and had him demonstrate several things before him. Once he did - SwipeR granted him his rites of trial. |
|
| |
|
| == Historical Accomplishments ==
| | The trials were the hardest thing Aticus had to do during his tenure with Taldryan. The trials tested him in areas he had never trained in before. It took place on a world he had never hoped to go to again, Eden. The planet was loosely used by the Empire now as it had been formerly used for testing on animals and eventualy an outbreak of mutated creatures forced the evacuation of most of the planet. When Aticus layed his eyes on the planet, his heart was struck with pain and the trials almost ended for him there as he could not move, not speak, only stare at the ruins of his home world. |
|
| |
|
| | Shadow arrived soon after him, and though he could not assist him - he proved to be an encouragement which was all Aticus needed. What Aticus did not know is that his trails were setting in forward motion for something far larger than he ever could think of. What he thought was prisoners in armor or something else, Aticus was ordered to eliminate any Imperial Remenant forces on Eden. It was a trial that took four days to complete, and even then it was only the first of four phases. |
|
| |
|
| === The Slaughter at the Vendos Academy ===
| | The next phase was to construct his own lightsaber. This took a week in solitude, as if a lightsaber is built incorrectly it will explode upon its initial ignition with quite a mass spread destruction zone. The Jedi Hunter was given nothing, and had to develop a lightsaber out of parts out of droids, crashed star fighters, crystal caves and more. After he developed the lightsaber he went to a mountain were SwipeR, Shadow, Sharad and his master Corran Force awaited him. He kneeled before them and presented the lightsaber he had constructed. It got much negative critasism but considering the resources he had to make it with, he was commended for a job well done. Corran activated the saber for the first time and handed it back to Aticus. The white blade of the saber was jagged and tore more than it cut making any wound inflicted by it very painful. |
|
| |
|
| Aticus had returned to his positions of Dragon Paladin of the Paladin's of Kressh, and as a summit of House Ludo Kressh. The Paladin's were weak, but at the same time strong. There were but two Paladins of Kressh but they both intended to provide evidence of their worth. A simple disturbance notice gave them this opportunity.
| | It was here that his final two trials awaited. The third trial came from the clan. He was told to kill a mutant rancor and bring its head back to this spot and sacrifice it to the clan but to keep a tooth of it for himself. He agreed. It took him little time to find this mutated rancor. Truthfuly Aticus did not defeat the rancor with weapons, but instead with wits. Leadnig the rancor into a trap he had created when he was a child still stood in the woods. It was a large trap intended to kill rancors from getting to close to his mansion which use to reside close to the mountain. The rancor foolishly followed him and was impaled by over two hundred lances. The death blow was a decapitation with his newly built lightsaber. Once completed Aticus had to use the force to help him carry the head of this monster back to the top of the mountain and there he burned it. |

| The Quaestor of the house had recieved orders from the Consul's office that there was a report of a Jedi Academy planned to open close to clan territory. While it was the desire to stay hidden and watch, it appeared that the Jedi were planning on mass exploring the area to ensure a hidden location themselves, and this proved to be a problem. The Quaestor decided to test her new elite warriors. She sent them to a distant planet called Da'Luuda to find a means of removing the Jedi taint from clan territory.
| | Aticus awoke the next day to his masters voice. "It is time my Apprentice. Your final task awaits you... ..on this planet somewhere I have released a Jedi Knight, who is armed and is looking to escape here alive and inform the Jedi of his knowledges of the Brotherhood. You MUST stop him or be punished by death. May the darkness guide you Aticus." |

| Once arrived both Aticus and Horus made their way to the temple, masking their life presences as animals to ensure they wouldent be detected. It was a two day journey from where they had deployed but the two moved both day and night as if possessed. When they reached the temple they still masked themselves as simple stranded humans in need of food and shelter. The Jedi foolishly fell for the trick and gave them both food, bath and lodging for a night.
| | Aticus was torn battered and defeated already. The trials had taken him to a place of pain and agony he had never been before. His heart and mind were broken from the ruins of the planet, and his body broken from the countless attacks from the creatures over his period of time on the planet. He had no choice though, so with what determination he had left Aticus began to fuel himself with the only thing he had left.. hatered, passion, anger, pride, and this brought him the power he needed. He began the hunt for the Jedi, and it took him longer than he expected. |

|
| The next morning was a morning of red. The two awoke and in no sooner had their feet touched the ground had they began their attack on the temple. Horus and Aticus had secretly probed the academy for weak points during their stay for one day, and had studied the movements of staff and residents. It took them thirty minuets to decimate all forces in the building, all but the two Headmasters which they decided to take their time and enjoy. Once defeated however the entire training facility was a massacre of limbs, blood, and death - leaving a scar in the force for any Jedi to feel should they ever walk near these lands again. The two killed over seventy people at the academy which became known to the Jedi as the Slaughter at Vendos Academy. An unsolved mystery to them.
| | Within the last few hours of his trials Aticus found a young girl at his former mansion which was now intergrown with the wild planets. She was meditating when he found her, and she showed him no anger or wrong intentions. Instead she smiled when she saw him and asked him if he needed to be healed. Aticus asked her if she was aware of what he was, and she confirmed that he was a Sith - but even a Sith did not deserve death for simply being what they were. This almost broke Aticus's intentions of killing her - but he had come to far. The girl held beauty and was kind hearted but to a heart of ice this ment nothing. |

|
| | Aticus lunged at the girl and attacked her, but she was not defenseless as Corran had told him. The two engaged in a lightsaber battle lasting almost an hour - but in the end Aticus's determination for victory gained him just that. A final blow of a stab in her chest, the girl fell to the ground dead. Almost instantly after SwipeR, Shadow, Sharad and Corran emerged from the ruins outside his mansion and congratulated him on his accomplishments. He had become a Dark Jedi Knight. The four sat and talked a while, but soon after he was taken back to the Taldryan HQ for a ceremony and celebration. |

Aticus Jade Xyler is a Sith Battlemaster of Clan Naga Sadow.
"Several flock to the thought of walking the paths of a Sith, and very few survive the first few steps. Those that have walked its path for a distance knows that they have died a long time ago, but in the end these are not true Sith but minions of our will. A true Sith does not walk the path of the Sith, they create one of their own." ~ Aticus Jade Xyler
Character History
The Birth of the Jade Family
Aticus Jade was born on Eden under his loving father and mother, Kevard Jade and Mortisha Jade. He was the third child born to the Jade family. The first was his oldest brother, Talon Jade and the second was the middle child Sykes Jade. Kevard was a simple man, or put out to be. He worked on Eden as a droid mechanic for ZioTech, a corrupt corporation with deep ties with the Hutts and other gangs. However Kevard did not allow this to change him, he worked hard and made an honest living, but his disapprovals of ZioTech were well known among his family and even the CEOs of ZioTech. Mortisha Jade was formerly Mortisha Kibone of Alderaan before its destruction. She was luckily not present for its destruction and was at that time a Senator for the Empire. However like Kevard she did not agree with corrupt corporations such as the Empire, and eventually resigned from her status soon before the Emperor simply disolved the entire Senate.
Before Kevard and Mortisha met, Kevard himself was infact on the darker end of the deals - being a smuggler and bounty hunter for the Bounty Hunter's Guild. However after meeting Mortisha he felt the need to chase men all over the galaxy for credits was just not something he wanted nor needed in his life any longer. The two eventually moved to Eden to hide their past and claimed to be a newly wedded couple looking for a new home and new life. The small city of Alkaresh accepted them in where they made their lives comfortable and simple.
After Talon was born the two decided money was needed to begin their family, and their initial credits they had come to Eden with were running dry. So Kevard signed a contract for ten years with ZioTech. After two years, the couple were doing well - though Kevard was displeased with the work he had been doing. He wanted to make droids to save lives, instead they had him making droids to take lives. It was not long until the second Jade son was born. He was named Sykes Jade after Kevard's brother who he kept a secret but was a Jedi before he was killed. Only one year later Aticus was born and the family was built.
The Jade Family Prospers
After nine years with the company despite his displeasure, Kevard knew that if he could serve another ten he would have a hefty retirement in the bag. He was now getting old though and moving slower than what he was ten years before and this was seen as a problem to the company, but due to his loyalty to serving so long with ZioTech instead of firing him they granted him another ten year contract as a Sub-Official in the company. This excited Kevard as he was now able to begin putting his own influence into ZioTech and begin developing things that he wanted.
Despite his request, Kevard was given office away from Eden though giving him very little time to tend to his family outside of financial helpings. He would work both day and night to ensure his family had everything that it ever wanted - and because of this the family became very rich. Due to their financial income, Mortisha soon ended up gaining office as Major over the now large and growing city of Alkaresh. She began building several great things for the city and gained popularity from the entire planet as a fighter for the people's rights. This however gained unwanted attention from the Empire and after several assasination attempts on herself and her children, she decided it was time to leave office once more.
Kevard had also felt that he was not doing his job as a husband and father by leaving his family unattended so he placed in an early resignation to leave ZioTech and go home to Eden. The family had banked so much money over the time that they bought almost one third of Eden in property. Once the boys had each reached the age of eighteen or older Kevard and Mortisha gave each a mansion with two thousand acres of land to invest in. The simple family had become a powerful one - and this began to change the way the galaxy looked at them.
The Jade Family Exiled
At eighteen Aticus was much like a prince. He had anything he wanted, but above all things he wanted - he wanted a service record. Time in the military. His two brothers felt the same, however unlike their mother and father, they did not see the Empire as a corrupt organization but rather a league of heros willing to do whatever it took to establish law and order across the galaxy.
Soon all three left Eden to enlist with the Imperial Remenant. During this time however, Eden was under pressure from the Remenant to surrender itself to the forces of the Empire or be invaded. The planet had stood for so long as a nuetral force that it had no intentions of doing so, but it was no match for the Empire. The people of Eden had never seen the likes of the masses of soldiers and starfighters swarming their planet, and it lead to their belief that the Empire was being funded from Eden - and the only family capable of this was the Jades, Kevard and Mortisha.
The people were half correct. The Jade family was in fact funding the Empire to come into Eden but it was not by Kevard or Mortisha but by Talon, Sykes and Aticus. All three had given their property to the Imperial government to establish Military and Political operations on the planet. When the word came out that the Jade name was in fact funding the Empire - Kevard and Mortisha were branded traitors, along with their children. They were left with two options - capital execution or exile from Eden. Kevard and Mortisha of course took the exile and were never heard or seen from by anyone again - though all three children eventualy found out that the two never made it off the planet and were assassinated. This lead Eden to its downfall.
The Fall of Eden
With word of their parents assassination, all three took no thought into the idea that the Empire had any influence into it and decided to expend all posible funds to eradicate any resistance of the Empire on Eden. In three days with the massive funding provided, the planet fell and the Empire established itself - renaming the planet Jade in honor of the three that supported its efforts. Of course none of the three Jade children were physically involved with the invasion as at this time they were still in training for the Empire. They were also unaware that over three million non combatants were slaughtered during the invasion under the assumption they were resistance members.
Eden went from being its former paradise of lush green lands, to a planet laced with havok and burning fires. The Empire took no waste in time before using the planet for its resources. It would take time, but eventually Eden would turn from a lush green planet to a ruin of its former beauty.
Time in the Empire
Once their training was completed, the three Jades were now much older. Talon was twenty one years of age, with Sykes and Aticus at nineteen and eighteen. All three became officers in the Empire almost immediatly after their training was complete. Aticus chose differently than his two older brothers. He wanted to see combat first hand, on the ground and up close and personal. The loss of his parants had driven him into a state of mind to brutaly defeat any that opposed the Remenant. He chose to become a Stormtrooper, while Talon and Sykes became TIE Pilots.
They all three proved to be elite soldiers and was soon transfered to the Emperor's Hammer Strike Fleet - formerly an elite strike force for the Empire under the command of Grand Admiral Ronin. Aticus was transfered into the Hammer's Fist where he became a Major and served for several years as a Command Staff member. It was during this time that he had already seen war at its best and he thought there was nothing stronger than the force of the Empire's Legions and Corps. This was until his brother Talon met up with him after two years of being seperated.
He invited him to leave the Legion and take Major ranking in an elite unit called the Infiltrator Wing. A division that used Alliance craft against the alliance and strategicly caused several massacres and kept the Rebellion at bay for a very long time. Aticus agreed and became a member of the infamous Eagle Squadron. Here he made his true name as a warrior, as did his brothers. This gained attention from a division far greater than the entire Empire and lead him down a path that would change his life for ever.
A Brotherhood of Darkness
At twenty two years old, Aticus was captured in combat as was Talon and Sykes. The Empire considered them MIA or KIA, as the capture happened so fast amongst so much chaos that it was not until the battle was over that they were aware that Eagle Squadron had lost its Commander and both its Flight Leaders. However the three were not captured by the Rebellion, but infact a secret order called the Dark Jedi Brotherhood. Up to this time Aticus had heard of the force but knew little about it much less believed in it.
He was brought before a man in a black cloak that never showed his face. He told him he had one choice, serve the Brotherhood. Aticus resisted at first, which gained him his first realization that the force was in fact real. The man in the black robe lifted both of his hands and sent lightning racing through his body and in no time the young man fell to the floor near death. The being told him the only reason he was spared is so that in time he could come to understand that the Brotherhood was his true destiny.
After two months of captivity, and re-education Aticus was drafted into the Shadow Academy. He began his journey down the dark side there. He learned much while at the Academy, more than he had wanted to know. He was taught to kill in manners unthinkable to him at that time, and was introduced to something that he bonded to the rest of his life. A lightsaber. At the Shadow Academy he was taught everything BUT to use the lightsaber, and in short this made him very outraged - and lead to him killing one of the instructors because he would not grant him the advanced permission to weild a lightsaber.
Usualy one is executed for the murder of a fellow brother or sister in the brotherhood with out reasonable cause, however before he could be trialed a man named Corran Force had found out of his accomplishments and denied any punishment to befall Aticus. The two first met on Eos in the prison of Yilvaska. Corran found Aticus beaten brutaly and starved, nearly on his death bed. This outraged Corran and ordered that the men responsible come before him. When they did, he handed Aticus his lightsaber and demanded that he strike down those that would harm him. Almost to weak to even hold a hilt, Aticus managed to bring enough energy to combat against three guards that had beaten him. This pleased Corran, he had found a strong pupil. It was from there that Aticus and Corran shared a bond of Master and Apprentice.
The Path of Darkness
Corran Force was no easy master to deal with. He demanded perfection of Aticus, and when given perfection he demanded better. Though Corran unlike the rest of the Dark Jedi, did not do this out of sadistic pleasure as much as he did it to ensure that his pupil would survive in the Dark Brotherhood. Once Aticus's master felt confident enough that the young man could survive in the Dark Brotherhood, he re-established him as a certified Apprentice of the Dark Brotherhood and placed him in Clan Taldryan.
It was here that Aticus found nothing but misery and torture. The clan did not accept him for who he was, as his ideals did not conform with theirs. Aticus at that time only served one person, his Master Corran Force and considered his master placing him in any clan as a mistake. After time passed however, Aticus did gain some forms of friendships within the clan. The first person to take him under their arm was a Guardian named SwipeR. The man was a skilled lightsaberist but a seasoned heavy weapons user. His abilities with a Concussion Rifle exceeded some of the Empire's finest snipers. The two got to know each other well, and eventually became friends.
Through SwipeR Aticus met his more rivalistic friend, Shadow and the mentor of both SwipeR and Shadow - Sharad Hett. Shadow was a man of joking manner but he had no mercy in combat, and even though Aticus was an ally and a friend he showed him little taste or comfort. Shadow expected a lot from Aticus and for a period of time when Aticus would fail - Shadow would either lead him into danger or try to kill Aticus himself. Though once Aticus found out that if he did not succeed in the clan he would die, he began to find victory not so hard to reach. Sharad Hett had little likings to Aticus at all to begin with. In fact, he had placed an order for an assassination on him by Shadow as a phase of his training, but this was interviened by Corran Force, and a warning was placed that should any unexplained death or injury befall Aticus he himself would dispose of all who were involved.
It was at this time that Corran saw that Aticus did not belong with clan Taldryan so he called him before him and described the other clans of the Brotherhood. Two came to his mind, Clan Arcona and Clan Naga Sadow. Arcona was a divine and well formed clan of war. They studied in combat far beyond the other clans and was rivaled only by Taldryan. So naturaly Aticus chose Arcona and it was there that he found his brothers Talon and Sykes waiting for him. The three were happily reunited but in a way they all knew they could never be the boys they once were. Love was a weakness and they could not show it to one another, but they did give each other more loyalty than they would the Grand Master.
Crossed Paths
Aticus spent several years of his life in Arcona, among the houses he spent most of his time in Galares. He met several friends and allies there, and developed strong bonds with them. He began his lightsaber training there as well under the guidance of his brother Talon Jade who at this point was a Dark Jedi Knight. Though he did enjoy the clan, and had learned much - Aticus in his heart felt the call of Taldryan to him. He felt that he had failed in one area and tried to cover it up with another. Though he let this eat at him for several more years before leaving.
During his time with Arcona, he had commanded elite Brigades, Squadrons and Phyles, and had even gained the positions of Aedile and Quaestor of House Galares. It was soon though that the failure in Taldryan forced him to step away from these positions. He felt obsolete to everyone else in the Brotherhood, regardless of their stature or clan. So one night he packed all of his things and left without word to anyone. At this time he was a Jedi Hunter, and now much stronger, diciplined, and better educated. His goal, was Taldryan. He would either recieve his Knighthood there - or he would die trying.
When the young man arrived at the Dinaari landing pad he was met with instant resistance from younger house members that had heard rumors of him being a traitor. He wasted no time in dispatching death to those that would consider him a traitor. Though he was deafeted quickly by a now much stronger Templar Shadow. During the battle Shadow had no idea he was fighting Aticus, and even when he had defeated him and realized it was him - Shadow showed no anger in his former comrads defeat. He told him "You've progressed further than I'd have imagined. Are you coming home?". Aticus told Shadow of why he had returned and this gained sympothy from Shadow, who was the Proconsul under his master Sharad Hett at the time.
When Sharad had heard of Aticus's return he confronted him personaly, but after study of him Sharad eventualy lightened up and accepted Aticus as a member of the clan, and after a few months of trials Aticus had earned his right to stand among House Dinaari once more who was now under the command of his friend SwipeR.
The Trials of the Knight
Aticus served once more with House Dinaari and Clan Taldryan for several years until the day had finaly come. SwipeR had called a private session with Aticus and explained to him that it was now his time to take the trials of the Dark Jedi Knight - and that in truth that he may not survive this. These words only excited Aticus, he was eager to prove himself worthy and accomplished. SwipeR reviewed Aticus's training, and had him demonstrate several things before him. Once he did - SwipeR granted him his rites of trial.
The trials were the hardest thing Aticus had to do during his tenure with Taldryan. The trials tested him in areas he had never trained in before. It took place on a world he had never hoped to go to again, Eden. The planet was loosely used by the Empire now as it had been formerly used for testing on animals and eventualy an outbreak of mutated creatures forced the evacuation of most of the planet. When Aticus layed his eyes on the planet, his heart was struck with pain and the trials almost ended for him there as he could not move, not speak, only stare at the ruins of his home world.
Shadow arrived soon after him, and though he could not assist him - he proved to be an encouragement which was all Aticus needed. What Aticus did not know is that his trails were setting in forward motion for something far larger than he ever could think of. What he thought was prisoners in armor or something else, Aticus was ordered to eliminate any Imperial Remenant forces on Eden. It was a trial that took four days to complete, and even then it was only the first of four phases.
The next phase was to construct his own lightsaber. This took a week in solitude, as if a lightsaber is built incorrectly it will explode upon its initial ignition with quite a mass spread destruction zone. The Jedi Hunter was given nothing, and had to develop a lightsaber out of parts out of droids, crashed star fighters, crystal caves and more. After he developed the lightsaber he went to a mountain were SwipeR, Shadow, Sharad and his master Corran Force awaited him. He kneeled before them and presented the lightsaber he had constructed. It got much negative critasism but considering the resources he had to make it with, he was commended for a job well done. Corran activated the saber for the first time and handed it back to Aticus. The white blade of the saber was jagged and tore more than it cut making any wound inflicted by it very painful.
It was here that his final two trials awaited. The third trial came from the clan. He was told to kill a mutant rancor and bring its head back to this spot and sacrifice it to the clan but to keep a tooth of it for himself. He agreed. It took him little time to find this mutated rancor. Truthfuly Aticus did not defeat the rancor with weapons, but instead with wits. Leadnig the rancor into a trap he had created when he was a child still stood in the woods. It was a large trap intended to kill rancors from getting to close to his mansion which use to reside close to the mountain. The rancor foolishly followed him and was impaled by over two hundred lances. The death blow was a decapitation with his newly built lightsaber. Once completed Aticus had to use the force to help him carry the head of this monster back to the top of the mountain and there he burned it.
Aticus awoke the next day to his masters voice. "It is time my Apprentice. Your final task awaits you... ..on this planet somewhere I have released a Jedi Knight, who is armed and is looking to escape here alive and inform the Jedi of his knowledges of the Brotherhood. You MUST stop him or be punished by death. May the darkness guide you Aticus."
Aticus was torn battered and defeated already. The trials had taken him to a place of pain and agony he had never been before. His heart and mind were broken from the ruins of the planet, and his body broken from the countless attacks from the creatures over his period of time on the planet.

He began the hunt for the Jedi, and it took him longer than he expected.
Within the last few hours of his trials Aticus found a young girl at his former mansion which was now intergrown with the wild planets. She was meditating when he found her, and she showed him no anger or wrong intentions. Instead she smiled when she saw him and asked him if he needed to be healed. Aticus asked her if she was aware of what he was, and she confirmed that he was a Sith - but even a Sith did not deserve death for simply being what they were.

The four sat and talked a while, but soon after he was taken back to the Taldryan HQ for a ceremony and celebration.
