History

Life Before The Brotherhood

Early Life

Very little is known of Celevon’s life before he was discovered wandering the outskirts of the city of Iziz on the planet Onderon at the age of twelve. His earliest memory, before waking up in the medical facility, is of bright flashes of light, heat and pain, which he assumes is how he received his head wound. However, due to a feeling of familiarity after waking up, he considers Onderon to be his home planet. Also, because of the scans on his body immediately after arrival at the medical facility, he knows he was born near the end of the seventh month, eleven years after the Battle of Yavin.

Awakening

Upon being discovered walking with a bleeding head wound, a Lieutenant of the Onderon Military saw him collapse to the ground, unconscious. Shortly thereafter, he was taken to a nearby medical facility. He awoke to a small room, and a young male doctor checking his vitals, a few days later. The young preteen, then called Raven by the doctors at the facility, due to his unusually dark hair, was diagnosed with retrograde amnesia, meaning that he had no memory of anything before receiving the head wound. Several months later, Raven had gone through a large number of books, mostly historical texts, and one that he thought was fictional until later in his life. It detailed battles between Jedi and Sith, or Dark Jedi, for countless millennia. By this time, the doctors had lost their original optimistic view that the young boy would receive some of his memories back, and told him that he would need to choose a new name for himself. Not long after, he chose the name Celevon Edraven: ‘Celevon’ being an ancient word that meant silver for his first, and combining the two words Ed, who was his favorite doctor, and Raven to create his last name. During the years he stayed at the medical facility, he learned a variety of things: From the young doctor he saw upon his awakening, Marcus, he learned the basics of medical treatment, and the medical use of a knife; from J’akked, or Ed, who was former military, (though Ed never told him who he served under, or on what side) trained him in the use of a sword, the basics of how to safely handle and fire a blaster, and in hand-to-hand combat, amongst other varied skills. It was from Ed that Celevon learned he was a force sensitive, with Ed using memories to describe why he thought this. This occurred when he was fifteen years of age. One that stood out for Celevon was after he had awoken from a nightmare to see a number of doctors around him, all talking at the same time. Celevon screamed, and all the doctors in the room were pushed back at least five feet, some more than that. After learning of this, Celevon began meditation, hoping to learn to consciously use his hidden powers. Ed brought in an older man to train Celevon in how to feel the force, and to tap into it to augment his normal skills, as well as sensing it in others. Celevon never saw the old man again, though he did search relentlessly in the years following his release.

Release

Finally, after nearly five years in the facility, and loads of convincing on his part as well as a full medical scan by the doctors until they were satisfied, that Celevon was finally released from the medical facility. He immediately set out to find a job, to earn a few hundred credits before moving on, finding another job, moving, and starting over again. And that continual cycle kept going until two years later, after traveling to different planets, that he became both a smuggler and a weapons dealer. Due to this job, he increased his combat skills, especially those with his sword, daggers, and varied types of blasters. He kept this job for two years, before his partner, Derrik, tried to have him killed. When confronted, Derrik tried to lie and say that he had nothing to do with it, though Celevon could see the truth of it in his eyes. Several hours later, emergency personnel arrived at the home to find the home in flames, and, after putting them out, found the owner, one Derrik Malachi, had been skillfully and meticulously tortured using the dagger they found embedded in his throat. While emergency personnel had been putting out the fire and searching the home, Celevon was already on his way back to Onderon, and had sold his and Derrik’s ship for 15000 credits.

Discovery

After arriving on Onderon, Celevon had sensed a large presence in the force deep within the jungles. Before he could do anything about that, he used 10,000 credits at a smith to have a personalized sword made, as well as several dozen daggers in a black metal, with himself adding engravings in silver afterwards. Once his sword, which has a black blade, with both edges sharpened, while the hilt is black, with dark grey wrappings, and black daggers were finished, he tested them, and finding them in good condition, paid the talented smith. Celevon also bought some food and water, and set out to find out what the huge presence he sensed in the jungle was. It was several days later, that he stumbled onto a large training area of the Dark Jedi Brotherhood. Needless to say, he joined once given the opportunity. Mere days later, he received his transfer papers to the Independent house, Arcona. Hours later, Celevon settled down for the long journey to the Dajorra System, the planet Selen, where he would meet his new family within Arcona's Citadel.

The Brotherhood's Embrace (32 ABY - Present)

Learning

Once Celevon had settled into Arcona, he dove into the knowledge provided like a man dying from dehydration who discovers a large pool of water. Less than a month after joining, Celevon was at the rank of Acolyte. Celevon was due to be promoted within the next day, when the Rollmaster, Timeros Caesus Entar Arconae introduced Celevon to Sashar Arconae, leader of Arcona's Special Operations Squad, Soulfire Strike Team who had an interesting proposal: For Celevon to join the highly selective battleteam. Celevon accepted the invitation almost immediately after it was offered, and chose the specialization of Sniper. After completing the Killing House (Short Assault Course), Celevon was formally welcomed into Soulfire's ranks. Mere hours later, Celevon was promoted to the rank of Protector. It was during this time that Celevon recruited a young man into the Brotherhood by the name of Apophis Undomiel. At the Shadow Academy, Celevon focused on a wide variety of subjects, though Combat and History were his main course of study.

Chains that Bind

While Celevon was still a Protector, Sashar and he entered into a cooperative contract with Arcona Contract Bureau, in which the duo was tasked with the elimination of an information broker. At that point, the duo only had his name: Celsus Fal'tir. In order to get a face to go with the name, Celevon was alone given the task of eliminating a Navigator by the name of Aaron Vicks. Once Celevon saw the picture of the man, he had a flashback to four years prior, when he was gathering information with Derrik Malachi, they recorded a young twi'lek being led into a hotel. The video showed the man leaving the hotel alone, looking extremely shifty. Not long after, they discovered that the girl had been murdered. Out of curiosity, Celevon investigated this, and gathered the information on the case. Once Celevon had regained his bearings, he traveled to Giletta Spaceport, where he publicly executed Aaron Vicks, before escaping within seconds of the man dying with a dagger in his throat. After being haunted by this for many years, Celevon finally avenged the ghost of his past. It was at the end of this mission that Celevon met his friend, and later adopted brother, Talos Erinos.

Days of Guarding

Four months later, Celevon was promoted to the rank of Guardian. During his time as a Guardian, Celevon improved his skills in combat, which included receiving a Dark Maven Shadow Academy Degree in two subjects: General History and Combat. After passing an exam at the Shadow Academy, Celevon was given a position within the Grand Master's Royal Guard, which he wasn't expecting. As far as Celevon was concerned, it was just a history exam, until he received a notice that he was given the honor of being within the First Echelon of the Grand Master's Royal Guard. During his time as a Guardian, Celevon received an Anteian Cross for his dedicated service to his House and Battleteam. After learning of this, Celevon changed from the Sith Order to the Order of the Obelisk, after realizing that it was more attuned to his personality. After six months of being a Guardian, Celevon was again promoted. This time to the rank of Jedi Hunter.

The Hunter

Less than an hour after receiving this promotion, Celevon was approached by Sashar, who wanted to discuss the design of Celevon's lightsaber with him. After Sashar left, Talos showed up, wondering if Celevon wanted to spar. An hour later, once again in Celevon's quarters, Celevon discussed his idea to become Blood Brothers with Talos, through the use of a ritual. After the discussion, Celevon received news that someone was searching for him. After the conversation, where Celevon told the man "to have 'Reaper' deal with him", Talos was curious, especially with the fact that Celevon used the codename 'Stalker'.

Appearance

Celevon stands at an even six foot, and while he occasionally tries to be as unremarkable as possible, it is quite difficult with his features. He has fair skin with a light tan, due to the fact that most of his activities occur at night. He has the sharp facial features of an aristocrat, with flowing shoulder-length midnight black hair, and piercing silver-grey eyes. Celevon has a thin, muscular frame, and though not bulky, he has very little fat on his body. Due to his extensive martial arts training, he walks with a feline-like grace that compliments his aristocratic features.

As far as identifying marks go, despite the light scars received from a hard life, his eyes are a rather unique shade of silver-grey, which look like molten silver when he is angered. He has received comments in the past that it feels as though he is peering into your very soul when he stares at you. He also has a scar that starts just above his right temple, and travels diagonally, before curving and ending under his right eye. It was due to this head wound, many years earlier, that he suffers retrograde amnesia. His only other identifying mark is a tattoo on his upper right arm, in black, of a tribal wolf, made up of a number of different runes. He is also almost always clean shaven, and wears no jewelry as of yet.

Armory and Wardrobe

Weapons

Melee

Customized Daggers

Celevon carries a number of hidden black daggers on his body, whether in a combat situation or not. Some have commented in the past that he seems excessively paranoid, but usually either retracted those comments once they were seen in use, or were dead shortly thereafter. Celevon would rather have something and not need it, than need it and not have it.

VibroCombat Knife

A knife made for close quarters combat, either fighting against another enemy wielding a knife, or to quickly silence enemy sentries. It is an extremely effective offensive tool, with a razor-sharp edge. It has numerous other uses, besides killing enemies. Celevon carries this weapon on his person at all times.

Ranged

SSK-7 Heavy Blaster Pistol

The SSK-7 Heavy Blaster Pistol was manufactured by the SoroSuub Corporation in the early days of the Galactic Empire.

SSK-7 Heavy Blaster Pistol, minus the Silencer

The Rebel Alliance managed to acquire large quantities of these weapons just before Imperial edicts came about, making the purchase of such weapons illegal. Despite the legality of the weapon, Sashar made it a part of Soulfire's standard equipment after heavily upgrading it by blackening all of the surfaces of the weapon, modifying the trigger and grip guard, adding a removable silencer/muffler/flash suppressor, widening the clip loading bay and finally reducing the amount of pressure necessary to pull the trigger, allowing for an extremely fast ‘draw and fire’ time. Even when not on assignment with Soulfire, Celevon wears this sidearm, favoring it over the other model's provided.

, including pieces for the helmet, to further the expertise of the wearer according to their specialization within Soulfire. In Celevon's case, as a sniper, the helmet incorporates some highly sophisticated imaging software. It has a telescopic zoom allowing the scout to zoom in and out, and also thermal imaging and low light mode, as well as information on the crosswinds, atmospheric moisture and pressure, and even the Coriolis effect’s curve. The imaging software used is also able to recognize structures, vehicles and weapons and cross reference the silhouette with its databanks to report what the item is, very useful in collecting intelligence. The armor itself is painted matte black and is essentially the same as the rest of the teams except that all extruding items and loose parts have been removed to decrease the noise made. The rare times Celevon is seen wearing the armor, when not on assignment, he either doesn't have the helmet at all or is carrying it under his arm.

Jedi Robes

Celevon can be seen wearing a black or dark grey variant of the Jedi robes that were traditionally worn prior to the fall of the Old Republic and the rise of the Galactic Empire. Celevon had these robes tailored not long after joining the Dark Brotherhood. He customarily wears a black hooded cloak thrown over these robes.

Dulon

Main article: Dulon

Dulon has many names. Called by differing names in many different societies, it seems that Truth is universal, this Martial Art having progressed almost identically in several societies almost identically. As such, there is much argument over when or where the art of Dulon evolved. Most scholars agree that the art is an evolved amalgamation of several internal-type styles. Humans have primarily been responsible for the dissemination of this style, but other races practice it as well. It is now flung across the entire galaxy, with many species adhering to the Art.

Dulon is an elegant art. It draws upon internal strength, using the body’s own life energy to perform the techniques. The style is graceful, and eschews brute force for speed and alacrity.

The primary repertoire of a Dulon fighter involves using one’s opponent’s energy and strength against them. Dulon could be considered a “fluid” art, believing in presenting nothing for an opponent to strike. One Master even stated, “The best defense is simply to not be there.” By evading the brute force of an opponent, the Dulon adherent will seek to leave himself an avenue to take advantage of the assailant.

Strikes can be augmented by the advanced artist with life energy, delivering powerful blows even with little visible movement. Slowed down, one can almost see the master's strike move in a 'wave' from the ground, his legs grounded in the floor, seemingly drawing strength from it. The Masters have an almost religious following, rumors and tales telling of their accomplishments, often attributing supernatural strength to their actions.

Taught in devoted studios, this art can be learned by anyone, although it takes true devotion, years of study, and a lot of willpower to truly master the art. The youngest one to have been considered a true 'Master' of Dulon had spent 60 years studying the art. Some have complained that this is elitism, but the truth of the matter is that these masters still hold the skill to defeat almost any challengers, even (if one were to believe the tales) Jedi.

Kartranin

Main article: Kartranin

The martial art known as Kartranin is a relatively recent invention, having been developed by the Murra Orders during the early years of the New Imperial Order. The art relies heavily on sword techniques, a departure from typical Imperial 'efficiency', but is a very aggressive and effective method of combat all the same.

The Murra Orders were charged with maintaining order among the Imperial ranks, their members drawn into the Orders for their uncompromising natures. Once there, they were instructed in many detailed arts, from espionage tactics to undercover workings as well as advanced combat maneuvers.

Kartranin's use of the sword is oddly enough, specifically implemented in largely non-lethal techniques, the Order's doctrine specifying that their captives be taken alive for further questioning. This is not to say that the art does not have lethal techniques, as situations can change drastically, so that the Murra Order agents would have to use their weapon to kill in order to survive the encounter.

The basic techniques of Kartranin are rather defensive, with the student learning basic maths and body mechanics, allowing for a Kartranin practitioner to know what angles an opponent is most likely to attack from, so that they can defend against it, while striking back in the most efficient way possible.

Kartranin is not a fluid art. The lightning quick motions must often change direction in a split second in order to safeguard the stylist from harm. The attacks are similarly dissonant, and a student of the art must possess a good degree of muscle strength to be able to control the momentum of his own body as well as that of a sword.

The basics of Kartranin are taught in several hobbyist academies across the Core worlds, taught by former Murra Order members.

Shyarn-Ado

Main article: Shyarn-ado

Shyarn-ado has a long history with the Cerean people. This style was rare and complex, often involving a lifetime commitment to one’s master, brain, and chosen style. This ensured complete mastery of the form and responsible use of the techniques in theory

This complicated form was developed originally for wielders of the Shyarn blade. The blade is a curved, single edged sword with a gracefully rounded hilt and a slightly curved handgrip. These masterful exotic swords are made from extracted metals and minerals by the duty-bound Cereans. The weapons are attracted to other blades magnetically on occasion, and this makes for deadly and vibrant duels.

The Art has since spread to other races as the Cereans have spread across the known Galaxy as intellectual giants. The Cerean culture values sheer intelligence, and this style reflects their complex cultural origins. The draconian weapons were often used in duels of honor and status. The Body and the Blade became an intellectual status symbol and state of mind. As well, if you were weak you would rapidly be separated from your weapon and your existence on this plane. Stolen or lost weapons were often retrieved at any and all costs, as it was believed that their soul was inexorably linked to the weapon.

The attacks and parries used by these stylists involve flexibility, speed, and quick tactical thinking. Shyarn Stylists are known for acrobatic, precise, misleading and evasive attacks. Twisting strokes, complex parries, and even sweeping the blade across one’s body to reinforce the weak flesh or parry a wicked potent blow are accepted maneuvers. This style views the sword and body as a complete weapon, each reinforcing the other, each growing stronger through decades of study and tireless practice.
