The Atema Family - Introduction

The Atema Family currently consists out of 5 members, 4 members and one NPC. These members are Tyren Atema, Jade Atema, Ylith Atema, Aragan Atema and Robert Atema Daragon.

The Family started as a small friendship project between Tyren and Ylith and grew to become a realistic and growing family with everything a family should have. Unlike other DB families an invite is rare, and if focussed on realism other than to finding random family members. They are based in Clan Naga Sadow and have various ties in leadership and have made a great name among their peers within the Clan and will continue to thrive.

Family Roots

Years after the creation of the Empire, in a remote place on planet Dantooine, two Jedi survived the Empirial slaughter. One with the name of Jerreth Atema, a former Jedi Knight and a survivor of “Order 66” and Ashira Islana, another former Jedi who survived the Imperial attack on a remote Jedi Conclave. The two Jedi met in a Transport Freighter during the Jedi Purge, they were on route to Dantooine, where they thought a small order of Jedi still survived. However, when they arrived on the planet all they found was a destroyed enclave, with nothing left but only a few survivors. Holding onto themselves in comfort, the two Jedi fell in love as they rebuild the enclave secretly into a cavern nearby, with the help of a renegade CorSec agent who fled the cruelty of the Empire as well. Calling it ‘The Sanctuary’, the newly built conclave meant to be a haven to all who wished to flee from the Empire and it's Dark Side reign. After half a year of rebuilding the two Jedi married, and so the Atema family was born. They were one of the first Jedi to marry during the Great Jedi Purge, and became a symbol of hope to the people of Dantooine, hope that the Empirial reign of darkness will come to an end soon. The Sanctuary itself existed a better part of the Emperors reign. The CorSec agent, who aided the two Jedi in rebuilding the conclave, was affiliated with the Old Republic and thus the Order of the Jedi and guarded the Sanctuary by blocking scouts and keeping Dantooine of the charts as a potential hideout.


Birth

After the two Jedi gotten married Ashira got pregnant, and nine months later gave birth to twins. Two boys who each had their own feats from the day they were born. The names of the boys were Ylith Atema and Tyren Atema. The two boys, the older Ylith and the younger Tyren, were born in a peaceful environment their parents and the other residents created. Though they were twins the two boys had differences their parents felt all too well. While Tyren was a quiet boy, Ylith was always the active one, always on adventure and looking for clues to find old Jedi relics even when he was a small boy.

Brother

Ylith and Tyren both grew up in a force active environment, though the Empire was always around the corner, the Sanctuary remained hidden. The two brothers became best friends and added to each other what the other lacked. Even though Ylith was a good boy, their parents did sense a natural Dark Side aura around him, which worried them. They hoped to someday make him a Jedi and a peon of good. Ylith is very strong built while Tyren was better in minor force abilities. Tyren was very spiritual for his age. Already meditating and questioning life in general. His intellect was his strong side, and his everlasting will to show off the small force powers he had made Ylith angry most of the time. But in the end, the two boys could go against any hardship as long as they worked together.


Brothers Divided

They eventually lived there for 4 years. In the same year, three years after the Battle of Yavin, the Empire discovered the Sanctuary and launched a small assault on the former conclave, destroying it. The families from the sanctuary, who were drawn to the Sanctuary to flee from the Empire over the years, tried to escape in an old transport that brought the Jedi to the planets years ago, but the force of Tie-fighters was too much for the battered ship. The ship was destroyed not long after leaving Dantooine’s atmosphere. The Atema family got separated in the outbreak of paranoia and panic that was unleashed by the ships residents upon its imminent destruction. Ylith ended up with his father, Tyren with the mother. They escaped in different escape pods. When all seemed fine and well an explosion of one of the other pods ruptured their hope. Thinking that the other part of the family was killed in the blast the Atemas lost hope for a family reunion ever to occur. Ylith and his father eventually ended at the planet of Byss, while Tyren ended up on the planet Coruscant with his mother to both start separate lives, eventually forgetting their past.

Foster Parents

Jarreth Atema and Ylith soon found themselves being held captive on the planet Byss, deep within the Empirial core. The escape pod they used was soon picked up by a star destroyer and they were both held as captives, and as Jarreth was Jedi, soon to be executed. In a daring move, Jarreth fought the guards and used the force to escape the transport vehicle he was in on the planet's surface. He took Ylith into the deep city of Byss and evaded the stormtroopers following him. Though he was able to lose the force pursuing them, Jarreth was heavily wounded. He stopped at a small home where he felt a good aura, and made a final plea before he died. He asked the man and woman living there to take care of Ylith, to raise him as their own and never to make him forget his past. The man and woman took the child in and took care of Jarreth before he finally died, allowing him to share his past with them.

The Atema’s lived, though, but got separated in the chaos. Ylith was with his father while Ashira took Tyren. Although they were in different escape pods, the Atemas hoped for reunion. The explosion of another escape pod shattered that hope into pieces. Thinking that their loved ones are dead, Ashira took Tyren and roamed the galaxy in search of a place to hide.

They hid on Coruscant, the heart of the galaxy, with a black hole in their hearts. A black hole that would not be filled until the day of reunion.

Coruscant

The most unexpected place for a Jedi to go hide was Coruscant, every single Jedi in the galaxy knew that, Ashira however did just that. She fled to Coruscant with Tyren under her wing. They hid in the city slums below the shroud of smog. She was certain that being near the enemy would keep them out of harms way since the last place to look for Jedi would be Coruscant. She was dead wrong and she paid it with her life. One night a squad of stormtroopers came into Ashiras sanctuary killing her in her sleep. Of Tyren however they found no sign. He had run of that night to his friends house against the wishes of his mother. That childish decision saved his life. He was raised by Jatarra Dumash for the rest of his life on Coruscant. Jatarra was a shop keeper in the slums, very well known to the populace, and thus Tyren lived his life on.

Status: Consul of Clan Naga Sadow


Lost Family

With the loss of his father before he was even born, Robert Daragon grew up always looking for a new father figure never really paying much attention to his mother. So much so, that at a young age Robert had gone his own way and abandoned his mother all together. After Robert left, his mother settled down beginning a new family that resulted in a son, Jerreth Atema.

Like his half-brother, Jerreth had the capabilities of the force, but chose a different path than Robert Daragon and they never crossed paths.

It would take decades before Robert would know of his brother, as fate had brought his nephews, Ylith and Tyren, to his home in Clan Naga Sadow. As Robert grew older he began to realize the void he had created with his lack of family. Wishing to fill that void he embraced the Atema’s as his true family, even taking their name. To redeem his past mistakes the Sith is very protective of his nephews as well as their families.


Family History - Tyren Atema

Tyren Atema

Status: Active in Clan Arcona


Revelations

While looking for a training room on Antei Tyren came by his old Sergeant and mentor, Ylith, or Draken how he’s called now. He asked Draken to help him with the nightmares he’s been having hoping that maybe Draken, being very old could answer what the dreams meant. In the nightmares Tyren saw a woman, two twin boys playing in a yard and divided in times of war. Though Draken didn’t know anything about such a thing, Ylith's memories did. Told as a story often by his foster family, Ylith has heard the same story over and over again in his youth, knowing it was something he wasn't meant to forget.

Both Draken and Tyren investigated this occurrence and even underwent a DNA test to see if they were family. The DNA of both Ylith and Tyren matched perfectly, even so perfectly that they were considered twin brothers.

Tyren first had trouble believing this story. Since Ylith was considered years younger than Tyren. But the DNA test showed that in fact, Tyren was younger than Ylith and in search for answers, memories of the tragic accident on Eden unfolded into Tyren's mind.


Quest for knowledge

In the wake of their shocking revelation the two brothers went on a quest to discover their forgotten and hidden past. They roamed the galaxy for clues on where to look, the search eventually led them to Dantooine where they found the shattered Sanctuary. In the rubble they found a holocron that recorded the marriage of Jerreth and Ashira. Amongst the data they found a holovid of their birth, of them playing in the garden, a crest of the Atemas and the vile attack on the Sanctuary.

Now the two Sith understood their past. They placed their family’s banner near the ruins, in remembrance of their parents. Although Jerreth and Ashira were Jedi and their sons Sith their will and wish to save their children was cause enough to remember them.

The two twin brothers agreed they would bare their true names and never bring dishonor to it.


Family History - Ylith Atema

Status: KIA


Reunion

Though Draken had taken hold of Ylith's body, he still had his memories and spirit with him, and so Ylith's past was linked with him as well. Though Draken thought about this before, he wasn't ready for the events that would change him within this Brotherhood of Dark Jedi. When training on Antei, Tyren came to visit Draken in a plead for help and guidance. He had nightmares about a terrible event. He sees twin brothers playing and then violently torn away from each other due to warfare. Though Draken didn't know anything about such a thing, Ylith's memories did. Told as a story often by his foster family, Ylith has heard the same story over and over again in his youth, knowing it was something he wasn't meant to forget. Both Draken and Tyren investigated this occurrence and even underwent a DNA test to see if they were family. And even while Ylith's genes were partially reformed into Valheru ones, the DNA of both Ylith and Tyren matched perfectly, even so perfectly that they were considered twin brothers.


Sanctuary Holocron

Both Dark Jedi embraced this fact and started their quest to find out the true history of their youth, they ended their search on the planet Byss, where they found an old Jedi Holocron, recording the first Jedi Marriage during the Jedi Purge, showing that it belonged to the Atema family. Then the holocron showed the two boys playing, seeing the image both Dark Jedi started to remember their hidden and forgotten past. The the screen shifted and the attack was shown, as the two Sith now remembered clearly, they knew now that they were split up and their past with them. Both Ylith and Tyren reconstructed the Atema family crest and placed the banner near the ruins of the Sanctuary, to remember their parents, even if they were Jedi. The two boys became Sith, but they would never dishonor the Atema family.


Terminus

The Atema brothers at Shi

It was a warm day on Shi as the brothers faced each other on the very place Draken used to rule his kingdom, the King's palace. They had been chasing each other for weeks since Tyren came out of hiding. As would be expected from a Valheru, Draken lead his hosts brother to his homworld, for the final, concluding duel that would determine the future of the Atema. Either one, or both would fall, but there would be blood, and they knew it. The battle was a fierce one, like two opposite poles pushing and pulling against each other, each knowing the others weaknesses. Finally, Draken, the superior fighter gain the upper hand, smothering Tyren to the ground breaking the Krath's hold on his saber. As Draken pulled his brother off the ground he said: "Any last requests?". The only response was a smile on Tyrens face and a stream of blood and spit from his mouth. Draken's disorientation gave Tyren a chance, and he used it. Mustering the Force to his will he enhanced his strength and hit Draken's nose with his brow. The Sith tumbled back even more confused only to recover as Tyren bull rushed him over the high fence. Tyren dangled in the air, holding to a loose piece of metal as he saw his brother disappear into the mist, ten stories below. A single tear fell down his cheek as he damned the demon Draken who had corupted his brother so. The only thing Tyren has left of his lost brother is his blade, Livion, and a memory of pain that ended on Shi.


Family History - Jade Atema

Jade Imperial Atema

Status: Rollmaster of House Marka Ragnos, Clan Naga Sadow


Finding eachother

After Ylith regained most of his strength after the large battle to reclaim the long lost Valheru Sword of Darkness, he was appointed leader of the Night Hawks Battleteam, an elite team of Dark Jedi within the halls of House Marka Ragnos. He lead the team well, bringing victory after victory with countless battles against the various warriors of the galaxy. He shown strength and courage, taught honor to his members and showed them to be great. He wasn’t just a leader, he was considered one of them, a friend and a fellow Dark Jedi.

Ylith was sent on a special mission to Hoth and was accompanied by Jade Imperial, one of the Dark Jedi Knights in his battleteam. She was a stranger to him, though he worked close with his members, she remained on the background and never talked to Ylith a lot. They needed to find signs of Vong on Hoth, and if there were Vong, to see how much they knew and what they were planning to do. Ylith, as a Valheru, has a weakness for cold and had to stay inside more than outside. But with Jade to watch his back, he could extend his time to its limits and often came back to the main camp with hypothermia but with Jade’s help he was able to get back into shape for the next day.

There they started talking to each other during the time Ylith warmed his cold blooded body back up and they talked about his species and Ylith found out more about her and her past. It didn’t take long until a serious mission was filled with pranks and jokes and Ylith and Jade founded a great friendship.

They were sent on more missions together, most of them to various planets to keep an eye out for the Vong, there they grew closer to each other and eventually the two fell in love and Jade moved in with Ylith and have been together ever since.


Proposal

During their time together off duty they made frequent visits to the planet Shi, the ancient home world of the Valheru, where they would take walks through the ruins of the city of Erundwyr, Draken’s birthplace and the place where Draken died. He told her all the stories and she was fascinated by it and every time as Ylith was gone for business for Ashura or the clan as the Night Hawks leader, Jade would in secret visit the planet and search through the ruins for an artifact to give Ylith as a gift. Eventually Jade found the perfect gift for Ylith, hidden deep within what was left of the hollow mountains behind the city of Erundwyr, Jade found a fossilized dragon egg and gave it to him as a present, shocked to see that the egg was still intact Ylith was truly amazed by this finding and he vowed to her to take great care for it.

A few months later, they visited the planet of Shi once more. Ylith heard various reports of Vong activity near the planet’s region and decided to see to it that the heirloom of the Valheru was well protected. Jade joined Ylith as he went to his home planet to search for Vong activity, against his wishes, she followed him and he accepted her help eventually after a lot of persuasion with a lightsaber. After a few days of searching they found a Vong outpost within the city of Erundwyr, hidden within it’s ruins, and even though it was only a small scouting group, they were still a force to be reckoned with.

Ylith couldn’t stand the Vong filth to invade his home and in his rage he went to fight them alone, telling Jade to stay away from the fight to keep her safe. He fought them by first scattering the Vong group into single members and picking them off one by one. They were eventually defeated by the Sith Battlemaster but Ylith had not seen one Vong still standing and was knocked down by the Vong Warrior. Jade, who was searching for Ylith, saw this and ran to him as fast as she could trying to help him, then in a flash Ylith stabbed his sword through the Vong and into Jade’s stomach. She as heavily wounded and Ylith took her back to the shuttle they came in and tended to her wounds.

On the way homeward Ylith tended to her wounds and stayed with her, and eventually when she woke up he vowed to never letting the same thing happen again. He promised to protect her the best he could ever do and proposed to her. Jade accepted and is now Ylith’s fiancée.


Marriage

The Marriage took place within the meadow, the same place where Draken used to spend his time with Morwiën. The place was decorated with a white gateway, covered in black roses where the couple would stand in. Ashura Isradia, who was present to preform the wedding, stood in front of them, with the waterfall behind him. There were only two guests present during the wedding, Ylith's twin brother Tyren Atema and Ylith's Master in the Dark Arts and Seneschal Xia Long. There they took hands and Ashura bound them in marriage, using words from his own homeworld.

And from that day forth Ylith swore to protect her and keep her safe from harm as much as he could. He is a cold and ruthless warrior at heart but only for Jade did he allow himself to feel emotion and love. It was only her voice that would be allowed to hold him back should he ever be enraged. On that day he vowed his life to her, and she promised to take care of him and love him forever and to stay with him whatever happens, also to announce that she was with child.
