Shirai Ryu Dupar was an extremely loyal Dark Jedi. From the time he joined the Brotherhood so long ago, he had been loyal to Clan Plagueis. During his tenure in Plaguies he completed noteworthy accomplishments. One of which he had been famous for however short a time, which had been fighting the Crimson Tide. Shirai was one of the most consistent fighters against the Crimson Tide. Having to eventually crushing them. But after his final bout with the Crimson Tide in which he and Dismal were key in defeating and apprehending the commanders of the bandits, Shirai began to fall off the map.
He felt after frequent extended leave of absences, that the place where he grew into the Jedi he was, no longer felt at home for him. After rejoining multiple times he saw the familiar faces in different clans or they had gone Rogue completely, it was disheartening to see most of his friends disappear. Proud though he was of Aabsdu for bringing the family name some glory, he knew he amounted to nothing in his time here. Shirai strived to become stronger, to advance in rank like his brothers did. But he could only manage so much. Disappointed with his activities and the fact that his home no longer felt like home. He transfered to the Clan Naga Sadow. Where he hopes that he can at least began where he left off, to not be a disappointment after all the time he spent in the Brotherhood, and did nothing to further his one and only dream which now seems impossible. To become a Dark Jedi Master.
History
On the Path
3 BBY - 8 ABY
Shirai Dupar was born to Ullus and Nene Dupar on the planet Kyandria in 2 BBY. He had three siblings: Gaidal, Dismal, and Kai Dupar. The four Dupar children were born during a conflict which came to be known as the Seventh Clan War, where the reigning Chancellor was attempting to seize complete control of the planet.
Ullus and Nene were not exactly rich, so they could not afford to leave their small agricultural estate in Kalessa (an important spaceport city in the Tenkai region of Kyandria), where the war struck most. Ullus was a bureaucrat who did the dull and tedious job of distributing spaceport visas and corresponding documents, while Nene stayed at home to watch her children and oversee the farm. The small couple feared the fate of Kalessa, especially with four small children running around. Over time, though, the children started to take an interest in warfare, Shirai was especially interested in the arts of weaponry. Having the valuable ability to spot any kind of weapon, name it, which company it came from, and all the other synopsis of the weapon.
Through the years the three Dupar children began to exhibit strange unexplained powers. The eldest Gaidal had a small argument with their younger sister over piece of bread and became so angry he unwillingly pushed her back a couple of feet back without even touching her. Shirai and Dismal were playing memory game with a stack of cards. Dismal was able to predict what half the cards before even seeing them. Not so long after that, Shirai was sparring with a boy using whittled sticks at recess at the academy, within the minute the boy was disarmed and beaten to the ground, while Shirai claimed to have seen the boys moves seconds before he made them. These traits where well known to be possessed by the benevolent Jedi. Soon after these events a Jedi Master came to seek them.
Ways of the Jedi
8 ABY - 20 ABY
As these supernatural events began to take place within the Dupar family, they did not go unnoticed. In the year 8 ABY Jedi Master Jomar Vacul came to fetch the boys after sensing their potential. Nene and Ullus couldn't really object seeing as the fact that Kyandria was now unfit for any child to raised in. Filled with immense poverty and chaos, the planet was engulfed in much turmoil that the parents did not want their children to ever witness while they grew.
After saying their goodbyes the three boys left with the Jedi Master to the planet Dantooine where they began their training to become Jedi, for many long years. Ripe when the year turned 14 ABY the boys where progressing on the steps of becoming adults. The three young men created their first lightsabers, proving their worth to be prominent Jedi Knights. But the Dupars often let their emotions exhibit far to often while they trained. After being reprimanded for it by their master, Gaidal for the most part did not listen. Gaidal then began to take on the Dark Arts, finding that it was much more enthralling to use your own anger to further your power instead of withholding it like the Jedi were taught to do.
The other two Dupars began to see that their brother was walking along the Dark side, and were against the thought at once. But in due time they began an interest in it. Soon enough by 18 ABY they were practicing the Dak Arts with their brother, increasing their skills to what they knew not.
Shirai embracing the enormous power the Dark Side has to offer.
It was around 20 ABY that they Jedi Council began to sense what the three Dupar brothers were doing, and they ordered Jomar to stop them at once. Jomar scolded them for their actions, but did not see just how much of a mistake it was. Gaidal told him what their true intentions were, as well as how flawed the Jedi Order was for keeping a Jedi's true potential locked up just so the council could keep control. The three brothers ignited their lightsabers, and despite Master Vacul's skill he was taken by surprise, and the three brothers overpowered him and slew him.
They fled from the temple, escaping to a spaceport and each going their separate ways. Shirai became a freelance mercenary, spending his time in various cantinas and taking any job that paid. Around 23 ABY, an unknown male approached him with a proposition to join a Dark Jedi Brotherhood, where he could harness his dark skills. He accepted, and moved through the ranks until becoming a Dark Jedi Knight. During this time he was reunited with his brother Gaidal, and later Dismal.
Clan Plagueis
23 ABY - 36 ABY
Battle of Byfrost
During the time of Shirai's ascension through the ranks, he also took part in almost every major conflict Plagueis had as a clan. Most of which was an on going war against the Crimson Tide. The Tide would attack, the Plagueians would counter. It was an ongoing war that last for many years. But it really began to hit the fan during the Battle of Byfrost.
The Crimson Tide had chosen no better time to attack the clan, when they were preparing to evacuate the system due to it being in critical danger. This would be Shirai's first battle, and the first part of the war with the Crimson Tide. During the move, they were attacked viciously. The Krath did not take to space in battle, but he was ordered to man a gun and shoot down anything that came near. Which he did with much ferocity.
The size of their armada was that of an army, one that would prove difficult to handle in a long haul. But the Plagueian Jedi cleverly outwitted the pirates. The pirates were not aware that the system was on the verge of destruction until it was to late. Even though the Tide was retreating, Consul Kir decided that they were made an example of the Tide, mainly to show that Plagueis was not as weak as it seemed, but also to show the Tide just who they were messing with.
In an amazing show of strength and power, the clan's top force users joined together and seized a large number of the retreating Tide. They took control of their ships, primarily the fighters, and flung them back into the system. So close to the growing star, the ships were trapped as the intense radiation cooked through the hulls.
