- "See, I told you that it wouldn't be that hard."
- ―Talis
Talis is a Miralukan male who was born into slavery. Being sold from master to master Talis moved around so much he forgot which planet he was actually born on. Talis’ only memory of his family was of his father whom he watched die at the hands of a slave master. His name is forever remembered in ink going up the inside of his left forearm. He made his way into house Odan-Urr by complete luck. The product of an unknown man’s sympathy and mercy. Upon arrival he found himself among good people unlike his former life and like he had always done before to survive, he adapted to his new surroundings. Shortly after his arrival he was placed under the tutelage of Revak Kur, the Commander of his new unit, Strike-Team Ooroo. He soon found that he had access to vast library of knowledge that he could utilize to track down where he was from and who he was. So he did just that.
Character History
Early Life
Talis was born into slavery and had moved so many planets before he was the age of five that he never knew his place of birth. Talis grew up with his father til around the age of seven when their luck had finally run thin. Talin was caught sneaking scraps of extra food to Talis and was punished severely. He was convicted by their slave master of theft and assault for striking the slave masters son who had begun to beat Talis when he had found out. Talin was sentenced to death by lashing. The slave masters oldest son held Talis a few meters away and forced him to watch as the Slave master beat Talin to death. Upon his fathers death the oldest son leaned in and whispered into his ears. Talis has lived with the horrifying image of his father dying and the words of the slave masters son ringing in his thoughts but has never told anyone the sons words. He has vowed to return to Krayiss II and find both his old slave master and the man's sadistic offspring and make them regret the day they met the young Miralukan.
Slave Master Draila
At the age of eleven Talis was sold to a new slave master off world. By this time he had begun to plan the murder of his former master. Unfortunately for him his new master lived on a space ship and rarely made orbit. Talis decided to buy his time for his return. He was assigned to meaningless tasks for the first two years of his servitude to his new master. The family grew fond of the young Miralukan and began giving him tasks that required more responsibility. Talis often found himself on the receiving end of jokes from the eldest of the children for his vestigial eye sockets and the dirty cloth that wrapped around them. This trend continued until Talis at the age of fourteen, was given as a present to the Slave Masters second oldest daughter, Ria. Talis went everywhere with the young girl. She clothed him and made sure that where ever she went, he went with her. The two grew close over the next two years.
During a local festival on New Tython that the family frequented, Talis found himself carrying Draila's bags that obscured his field of vision. But being Miralukan he was able to easily navigate the busy street and stay with her. While walking through some more of the kiosks and watching his master inspect the wares he noticed a man approaching her and give her a once over and making some perverse gestures behind her back. Talis would not suffer the man's insulting behavior. As he passed he shoved through the man with his shoulder, knocking him to the ground along with some of his masters newly purchased items. The man was the captain of the local security forces and when he rose he pulled a stun baton and struck Talis in the back. Talis keeled over from the sudden attack and intense pain in his lower back. He did his best to avoid damaging Draila's property as the man began yelling and scolding Talis for not watching where he was going. As the man raised his arm to strike him again Draila intervened and was struck. Talis' rage ignited, placed the belongings on the ground and slowly stood and faced the man. With a handful a quick strikes he planted the man on his back and placed Draila behind him. He turned to her and nodded to an alleyway across the street from the altercation and against her objections Talis corralled her down the alleyway and urged her return to her family.
Finally Draila saw reason and fled the scene and Talis turned to meet the four other officers who had come to their captains defense. He smiled and stood tall before them before he attacked. He found himself in a loosing battle quick. He had originally had the upper hand and was winning against the insurmountable odds but their sheer force of numbers overwhelmed him. Talis found himself beaten and in shackles before a large group of onlookers. Among them was a man whose aura stuck out to Talis. Unknown to him, the man would change his life forever.
Incarceration and its path to the Jedi
Talis spent about a month in jail for fighting with the New Tyhon security forces. He was a little worse for ware but his injuries had all healed pretty well given the circumstances. It was at the one month mark that his master and her family arrived. The oldest made jokes, and the younger ones made annoying noises as they waited for the guard to make it down to his cell. Talis knew this was it for his time with Draila. He would probably be sold to some junk scrapper at a bargain price or to some slave fighter for a huge discounted price. Thats when he saw him again. The man from before standing behind the family. Draila's father shook the mans hand as he took something from him. The man smiled and nodded in Talis' direction. That was it. His life was that useless that he could be discarded or sold with an exchange of coin and a handshake. It was Talis' own fault for catching feeling for Draila. Now he had to suffer them being separated because of his jealousy. Talis was let out shortly where he was formally informed by Draila's father that he had been sold to a man named Revak Kur. Talis was infuriated but he did not voice his opinion to his former owner. It meant nothing to the man. Talis waited with Draila's father at the designated meeting point. Dock C3 Seher Spaceport.
After about an hour a YT-2000 light freighter landed at the dock platform and a tall man with a hood exited the space craft and made his way towards the duo. As he neared Talis could slowly make out features of the mans face and his aura. He was a Zabrak and for some reason that made him feel better and he had no clue why. Talis felt a solid push hit him in the square of his shoulder blades as Draila's father motioned for him to meet his new master. Talis walked out with his eyes head bowed to avoid coming off as arrogant. He soon found out that Revak Kur had used Odan Urr funds to procure him and free him from slavery and teach him in the ways of the force. At the time he thought it to be a huge misapplication of funds until he found out how much they paid for him and then he was appalled and insulted at such a low price for such a useful slave. Soon after being purchased Talis arrived at clan Odan Urr and was given his freedom and began his training in the ways of the force.
Talis' First Great Jedi War
Talis spent most of it attached to Battle Team Ooroo but lost and separated from his team. He linked up with a high valued target, Rhiaen, whose sister was missing. They ended up engaging against Conner who fled like a coward just before Darth Necren appeared. Talis spent the first half of the fight taking on Darth Necren alone where she treated him like a child who had just custructed his first lightsaber. It wasnt until Rhiaen pulled herself together that they started to gain ground against the Sith assassin. It didnt last long because a few minutes into the duos onslaught Talis was overtaken by his fatigue from using his rage as much as he was. The fight looked like Darth Necren was going to end it as she tortured Rhiaen with lightning but Talis mustered all he had left and pushed the deranged sith assassin away from Rhiaen. She responded with trying to kill Talis only to be interupted at the last possible second by his team. Talis, utterly spent and unable to move for several days and Rhiaen who would be lucky to keep one of her eyes were out of the fight. It soon ended shortly after that and Talis left New Tython to find a way to cope with what he had been through during the Great Jedi War.
Eleventh Great Jedi War until the Sacking of New Tython
Talis spent a large quantity of time in the bars around various worlds that he bounced between. Making money on the side when he could. Helping out with odd jobs here and there. He rarely stayed in one place for more than a couple days. Mainly to avoid detection and to always keep moving just to make sure that if did ever go do a job he could claim plausible deniability or just vanish and nobody would be the wiser that some drifter disappeared. He spent most of his time, when he wasn't drifting around the galaxy in a booze induced trance, studying the intricacies of female anatomy. He stumbled across his first slave owner and his son recently and brought their slave trading business to an abrupt hault. He also found out what planet he was from in some documents and the location of Draila. She had spent some time looking for him apparently before she turned to pirating. He spent six months hunting her down only to find out that she went into wild space and hasnt been heard from since. Talis decided to return to New Tython to take up his responsibilities once again as a Jedi.
The Worst Homecoming
Upon returning to New Tython Talis found himself in the middle of a battle for survival as soon as the ship he was on exited hyperspace. The new Grand Marshal was Sacking New Tython and killing as many people on the planet as he could. Talis managed to escape thanks to some luck and mild ignorance of where you should and should not jump to hyperspace. Like in the hangar of the destroyed Fey’lya’s Last Stand just as a way to keep covered from any tractor beams or bombardment. He also learned that its a good way to turn two sith into Sithcakes. Talis rendezvoused with the surviving force aboard the VSD Endors Triumph where he is currently residing.
