Template:Sith charinfo

Cypha is currently a Guardian in House Tridens of Clan Tarentum, and an apprentice to Dark Jedi Knight Deatharoc of House Gladius, born as a Hybrid from a gene manipulation experiment between an Arkanian scientist mother and stored gene from an unknown Anzat.

Character History

His Birth

Cypha was born under a name, Kinnar Vandrayk, in Arkania, as a consequence of in vitro fertilization and DNA manipulation experiment. The ovum was used from the Arkanian chief scientist Krey Vandrayk, and the sperm was taken from stored sample from an unknown Anzat, who was rewarded and sent away from the planet, right after giving his sperm and some biological tissues few years before.

This biological project (code name “Kimnara”) was conducted by AdasCorp with a financial aid from the Arkanian Government. The project was aimed to investigate the possibility of hybridization between Arkanian and Anzat. Many people were interested in Anzat's special abilities such as their long life, telepathic and Force sensitiveness characteristics, or their utilization of vital energy from other people. But the project went rocky, found many difficulties and pended many times because of the difficulties to deal with the unknown biological characteristics of Anzat, such that they have no heartbeats or body temperature. After many failed results, their last hope was to test the new method that Krey Vandrayk discovered, and finally it went successful. She was rewarded by the government, and their family got wealthy and happier with the new son.

His Youth

"I'm gonna be a scientist like my mom!! And, save the Galaxy from all bad things! Right? Mom?"

―Kinnar at the age of 8

Under his mother’s custody along with other hybrid babies interbred with various species, Kinnar had grown up as a very brilliant, cheerful boy, and was loved by everyone around, especially his mother, who actually loved Kinnar best among other her experimental babies, nevertheless his very distinguished Anzat characteristics including telepathic and Force sensitive abilities. Kinnar also loved his mother, and they were always together. He loved physical activities like sports, working out or just running, as well as science with her mother’s influence. At the age of 13, Kinnar started helping his mother’s research in her laboratories. In spite of his father’s absence, Kinnar almost didn’t feel lonely or sad, because of good relationship with her mother and other friends in the building. Also with their wealthy living, everybody who knows them thought as if nothing could make them happier.

At the age of 16, his science knowledge was outstanding for his age, and he was one of the most athletic boys in the group. A girl named Amelae in the group, who was a hybrid with Zeltron, was fallen into him. With a Zeltron blood, she was not only a very attractive girl, but also can use the art of pheromone against Kinnar. It was not too long the two fell in love each other. The relationship last almost for half a year, but that was the happiest time of his life.

The Tragedies

"I love you so much, Kinner… Now… Run… my love… ru…n."

―Krey Vandrayk at her last moment

It happened when a friend told Kinnar that Amelae was cheating on him. With an intense jealousy, he ran into her compartment and start interrogating her. At his surprise, she admitted the accusation easily and started talking how pleasure it went. That was the first time that his two tentacle-like proboscises came out of his cheek. Without any intention, Kinnar stunned her with his Force-telepathic mind control and physical grasp on her head, and started sucking her so-called “memory soup”. Not only he did not understand what was happening, but also could not control what he was doing either in his immense rage and embarrassment. He fed her brain and vital energy completely and thoroughly to her death, and came to know how rich it tastes for the first time.

In front of his girlfriend's dead body, Kinnar was so scared and lost having no idea of what happened or what he did. But eventually he ran to his mother, and told her everything happened. She completely understood him, explained him about the secret of his birth and Anzat characteristics, and tried to convince him to get away from the planet. Unfortunately however, during the conversation with his mother, the government force suddenly rushed in to arrest Kinnar. When one of the officers hit Krey who was trying to save her son, Kinnar lost his temper and started fighting with the officers. Already unconsciously consumed by the Dark Side so deeply, Kinnar's resistance was extremely violent and nobody including his mother could stop him. The worst thing happened when one of the officers finally aimed to shot Kinnar from his back to stop him. Again, Krey jumped in between the two and got a fatal hit on her stomach… Once again, Kinnar has to watch the person who he loved most dying in his arms. In his terrible despair and rage to see two people who he loved had just gone, a strong instinct got growing up quickly within him and urged him to kill all the officers over there. That was the first time for him to step into the realm of his real power, the Dark Side of the Force, the irreversible path that he were to pursue.

In few hours, although he was still in a tremendous confusion, he was managed to sneak into a cargo ship to flee from Arkania as his mother suggested in her last moment.

Search for his Father and Training

Still in despair, while he was traveling from planet to planet doing some underground jobs to survive, he gradually started understanding what happened by gaining more knowledge about the Force and Anzat special abilities. Few months later, he eventually decided to travel to Anzat to find his origin and hopefully his father.

As soon as he arrived in Anzat, he started training himself as a pure arts in fighting. Then, he indeed found himself very fascinated by the Anzat culture. It was not too long for him to decide to start devoting himself to an Anzat temple. During the training in assassination and espionage techniques in the Anzat temple, not only he had got to understood Anzat culture and philosophy deeply, but also discovered his talent in the Force and started learning how to control it. But without knowing his father's name or any kind of information, he could not get any single clue about his father, and Kinnar gradually got to forget about his search for his father and more to focus on his training.

After several years of training, he started accepting assassination jobs, though he never liked it because he just insanely craved more training to expand his unique mystical powers. Then, he decided to move to learn different kinds of arts. He thought he could further other special ability that he has than as an Anzat, namely the arts of the Force, the Dark Side of the Force in particular. It was natural to him to lure by the mystic magic of Sith.

At the departure of Anzat, he decided to abandon his past identity, and changed his name into a new one, Cypha.

Journey for Sith Artifacts

After leaving Anzat, Cypha was trying to visit all the possible places that have been related to Sith as far as he knew. First, he traveled Ruusan, Ambria, and Onderon, then Yavin system to Korriban, Ziost, and finally Dathomir. In each place, he worked as a bouncer at a bar, a drug dealer, a worker in pharmacy or a hospital using his knowledge in science and medicine, or occasionally an assassin. But his real purpose was to learn anything about the Dark Side of the Force. Whenever possible, he was traveling many ruins, museums or libraries relating those works. Sometimes, he found relics or artifacts, but not many. Most of the time was just waste of time, or at worst, exhausting battles with dangerous animals altered by Sith Alchemy. But one day, he heard a rumor about the Dark Jedi Brotherhood when he was practicing with some Rancors in Dathomir, and soon came to decide to stop traveling and devote himself to a teaching under the Brotherhood.

Dark Jedi Brotherhood

"OMGWTF!!#!#!$#%!"

―Bieten Macht Elols to see Cypha working in SA

Joining the Brotherhood, he was assigned to the House Tridens of Clan Tarentum in Yridia system. At first, Cypha was very excited to see numerous amount of literatures, especially in the Shadow Academy. He had gladly spent most of time in SA for a month (earned a Dark Cross), learned many things, and as a result, came to a conclusion that what he was after was the right way. He felt it as if it was a destiny for him to come to the Brotherhood.

"Faster isn't better."

―Deatharoc to see Cypha trying to deal with too many tasks at a time in haste

Also, 5 days after the joining the Brotherhood, Cypha was offered to participate the Master-Student Program to apprentice to Dark Jedi Knight Deatharoc of Gladius. He immediately took this offer, and was sent to his first mission with the new master to Ambria to deal with a local agent seeking for Sith artifacts there. On the mission, he fought with a people armed with Sith Alchemy, and learned the elegant way of his master's execusion on misssion. Also, he recently traveled with his master to Prakith as a clan mission, and attacked a hidden Inquisitorius base in Asonel Caves near Prak City. Cypha found a trace for an ancient Sith artifact, Yaa'thei Stone, and encountered the former owner of the artifact. But in killing the former owner after desturbing conversation with him, he found the artifact was already transfered to somewhere and could not retreive it.

Now that he has joined Tarentum Army and also Battle team Yu, he designed his calligraphic emblem to show and appeal his power over wherever he goes to. He uses this for his war banner (It is a combination of the characters: C, y, p, h, a) and is planning to get a tatto of this.

Characteristics

Physical Appearance

Quite typical as an Arkanian offshoot, he has white pale skin, white hair and white beard as regular Arkanians do, and also human-like green eyes, 5 fingers in each hands, and pointy ears as the offshoots do. Only one difference from Arkanian characteristics is his nails, which are pointy and strong, like almost claws as sometimes seen in Anzati. Also, his eyes turn into bloody red only when his Anzat two proboscises curled out from his cheeks to feed the brains soup of their prey. But nobody knows this since once you see it you are to be dead.

He likes to wear simple, practical and comfortable clothes, like t-shirts, tanks, pants and boots, which colors are always dark, and typically black. On the mission, he also wears his black robe. And also, he sometimes wears a black armor in battles. This armor is again, simple, practical and comfortable, which includes Cortosis gauntlet, greaves, shoulder and thigh guards. On top of everything, he usually likes to reveal his skin uncovered, and this contrasts with his dark clothes dramatically. He is not so tall though, his athletic built-up body with fat content kept minimum can be recognized easily over his clothes.

People usually get impression that he is serious, difficult, isolated, and somewhat sad, because of his thinker attitude as a scientist, stoic monk like attitude based on the Anzati philosophy and his life as assassin, and his sharp look into things.

Personality

The death of his mother traumatized him in some ways, and referring it can make him extremely mad. Or, sometimes he gets destracted or crazy to see some events that remind him her mother's death. But after her death, he has lived by himself, and only one thing he has hold in his mind is to be strong in fighting and in the way of the Dark Side. He has been very stoic in training himself.

By the time he joined the Brotherhood, he has got reticent and looks very emotionless. Deep inside him, his personality was grown very cold, cunning, and in a way, mad though, he doesn't show his anger, sorrow, joy, pleasure or any kind of true emotions in public. However, he also acquired some diplomatic and communications skills to survive his young age by himself by dealing with many people among many planets. So, he can look very normal and be very nice, and even can talk very casually or charmingly to lure people's attentions if needed. Nobody can see his real darkness under his calm face.

As a scientist, he is smart and a thinker who can explain things logically. He doesn't speak a lot though, he always make things clear whenever he has to, but he also prefers to take actions without bothering explaining things. Also as an Anzat assassin, he knows the virtue of patience, discipline, and perfection. He usually takes the startegies that has the best possibility to achieve his greater goals at the end rather than having a short term outcomes, no matter how hard it is or how long it takes.

Also as an Anzat, he has to eat the soup periodically, which is a strong instinctive requirement more than a habit or a preference. When he is starving, he goes crazy, will do anything to get his prey, and nobody even himself can not control him.

Fighting Style

Occasionally he use small knives in closer range battles though, he usually prefers a sword or a saber in his fight to any type of guns or blasters. For that reason, he is craving for the day to create his own lightsaber that can make no use of blasters for him.

He always says that he usually tries not to fight and to hold himself until the last moment though (many people doubt), once he started fighting, he does not hesitate at all and gives his 100% to achieve his goal, the victory. He does not care how brutal, unfair, cunnig or cruel he would go, once he engaged the fight, all he does is to go forward towards the victory. He will do anyting and use anything to have the mission completed.

Trivia

The name “Cypha” was after the word “Cipher” that means “Code” as well as “Zero” or “Void”. He took this name because of his own philosophy that “Anything present is nothing (emptiness)”, and also he found very interesting that the nothingness is a very complicated thing like a code.
